Just as Yu Miaomiao picked up her phone to check the game link message, her vision went dark, and in the blink of an eye, she found herself inside a post-apocalyptic survival game — Desert Surviv...
Chapter 9 Desert Survival Day 3 (2) She was deceived, or...
"Fengyoujing: Everyone's trading food resources right now, but she only wants the blueprints. It seems she's determined to make money from us by doing OEM. Oh no, she's coveting the various supplies we rely on for survival."
"Three Straws: That's not the case. Transactions are voluntary on both sides. There's nothing much to comment on."
Yu Miaomiao looked at the world, but her mentality was not affected by their discussions. She estimated that only a few people had the materials now, and maybe it would be better tomorrow.
Just as she was about to carefully study the items distributed by the system, a new red dot appeared in the chat box.
"Is Lulu here? Hello, can I trade ingredients for food resources with you?"
More than one person asked similar questions, but Yu Miaomiao did not respond. However, when she saw this familiar ID nickname, Yu Miaomiao still replied.
"Meow Meow is not short of water: I sent you a OEM primary backpack expander. You asked the wrong person."
"Is Lulu here? I asked correctly... My classmates wouldn't trade these things with me. I saw that the only fee you charge for doing OEM work is the blueprints and materials, so I guess you don't have any shortage of food."
Lulu's classmates were unwilling to exchange with her. As Pipi said, they probably didn't want her to support her brother again.
But these have nothing to do with Yu Miaomiao. To her, the other party is just an online friend who has had a fair exchange with her in the doomsday survival "game". From what she said, it seems that there is a lot of information.
"Meow Meow is not short of water: What materials do you have?"
"Is Lulu here? I have 8 fibers, 2 pieces of linen, 2 pieces of nylon, and 4 pieces of plastic."
Yesterday, this girl named 'Lulu' also had nylon cloth, and today she still has some. Could it be that all the things she got from drawing cards are of this kind? Nylon cloth is very necessary for house reinforcement.
Yu Miaomiao thought about it for a while.
"Meow Meow is not short of water: If you want, I want them all, but I can only offer mineral water in exchange."
"Is Lulu here? Besides the linen, can I exchange other materials for a bottle of water?"
Well, Yu Miaomiao expected to exchange 1.5 bottles for these materials, but she didn't expect the other party to only want one bottle, so of course she readily agreed.
After the transaction was completed, Yu Miaomiao received a message of gratitude from the other party.
"Is Lulu here? Thank you so much! This water saved my life. If you need anything in the future, feel free to contact me. I will do my best."
Saved her life?
Yu Miaomiao only realized at this time that the value of water was far beyond her imagination. She did not reply to the message again, and the two of them did not add each other as friends. As for whether they would be friends in the future, that was another matter.
Seeing that there were so many more things on the ground in front of her, she felt a little worried.
Yu Miaomiao thought about using a primary storage box to store the existing items, but after reading the instructions behind the synthesis button, which said, "It can hold items in 20 grids, the storage box can be password-protected and cannot be moved," she gave up for the time being.
At first glance, a storage box seems like a great thing. You don't have to worry about your items being taken away at will by setting a password, and the fact that they can't be moved at any time doesn't seem to have any impact at the moment.
But making a storage box required too many materials, especially a 'copper ingot' that she had never seen before.
Although it says it cannot be moved, it does not mean it cannot be destroyed. Therefore, from the perspective of materials and practicality, the backpack expander is more important.
Yu Miaomiao once again sent out information about OEM primary backpack expanders to the world.
Soon someone came to find her.
"Integrity is the foundation: How is the OEM fee calculated? "
"Meow Meow is not short of water: What materials or drawings can you exchange?"
"Integrity is the foundation: I only have two balls of cotton and a [simple water purification filter blueprint]. "
Water purification filter?
[Name: Simple Water Purification Filter Drawing (1/1)
Level: 4
Introduction: Learn the production process of simple water purification filter after use
Attributes:
We are all in the Gobi Desert, where can we get unpurified water? Yu Miaomiao was a little hesitant.
As if guessing her concerns, the person on the other end continued sending messages.
"Integrity is the foundation: I've seen people around the world release various water-related tools. This crappy game is prone to storms and gales. You're just a contractor, so receiving these useful blueprints will only benefit you."
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Do you have all the materials for the primary backpack expander?"
"Integrity is the basis: Yes, but after all, we are strangers. I need you to provide an important item as collateral when the transaction is completed. I will return it to you along with the production fee and the item."
Yu Miaomiao thought it was normal for the other party to make this request. Someone like Pipi who was completely confident in himself was too naive.
"Meow Meow is Not Short of Water: How to measure important items, can wood be used? "
"Integrity is the foundation: Of course it's water. Everyone is short of water these days, but judging from your name, I guess you're not short of water."
Well, Yu Miaomiao’s current situation is really the same as her nickname Vision. She is indeed not short of water for the time being.
"Meow Meow is not short of water: OK, the processing fee is 2 cotton balls and a simple water purifier filter blueprint?"
"Integrity is the foundation: No problem, please wait a moment while I sort out my things."
When two people exchange items, the system backpack must have enough space, otherwise it will prompt that the space is insufficient and it is easy to fail.
Yu Miaomiao encountered this problem when trading with Lulu. Fortunately, the other party did not ask too many questions. After she quickly took out the items, the transaction was successful again.
While waiting for "Integrity is the basis", Yu Miaomiao happened to sort out her belongings. She specially left five spaces to avoid this situation from happening again.
She didn't know what level her resources were compared to others, but in this end times, one should not show off one's wealth.
After waiting for almost half an hour, Yu Miaomiao finally received the transaction from the other party.
When receiving the materials from the other party, Yu Miaomiao also put a bottle of mineral water as collateral.
After the exchange was completed, Yu Miaomiao walked directly to the workbench and selected "Primary Backpack Expander" under the "Life" column to start the operation.
Following the instructions on the holographic image, tear the cotton into pieces, and then use a strand of fiber and a little cotton to slowly spread it out into a whole piece of cloth.
During the operation, if the force is too great, the fibers will crumple the broken cotton into a small bunch, and a red cross will appear within the visible range of the operating table, making it impossible to proceed to the next step. Yu Miaomiao had to remove this small piece and restack it.
After stacking, use a grinding wheel on the workbench to roll the cotton fiber pieces back and forth until the system prompts that it is completed. Then use a small needle on the workbench to poke small holes according to the instructions, and finally tie it up with a thin rope.
The moment it was tied, the system prompt sounded.
[Successfully trigger the lucky trait and synthesize 2 primary backpack expanders]
It really is good to have the lucky trait. Not only did I get the items I was helping others do done, but I also got one for free.
She checked the time and found that it took her more than 40 minutes to make a basic backpack expander. Moreover, it was sunny and even with an umbrella, it was still difficult to hide the heat.
I took a sip of water and looked at the things on the ground. Since I had two backpack expanders, I might as well use one first.
Yu Miaomiao used his mind to separate the two primary backpack expanders, intending to use one of them. However, he thought better of it and decided not to use it. He was not in a hurry, so he decided to exchange the items first and then send a message to the other party.
"Meow Meow is not short of water: The primary backpack expander is ready. Click me to trade. Remember to put the water and the crafted items together in the trading column."
"Integrity is the foundation: OK."
The other party readily sent a transaction request. Yu Miaomiao placed a backpack expander that looked like a small bag on the transaction column, and the other party also placed three items on it.
One was an object that looked like a parchment scroll. When I focused my eyes on it, I saw the words "Simple Water Purification Filter Drawing"; the other was two balls of cotton.
But the third item seemed strange to Yu Miaomiao no matter how she looked at it.
The icon is indeed a smaller version of the bottled water, but the color of the bottle looks yellowish. When you move your eyes up, it shows as a [bottle filled with liquid]
If it is water that was previously mortgaged, it should display [Mineral Water].
Yu Miaomiao canceled the transaction and sent a message to the other party.
"Meow Meow is not short of water: There is something wrong with your bottle of water. It is not the mineral water I gave you."
"Integrity is the foundation: After mineral water is traded between players, its name and information will change. You should not have traded water with others. Look at the quantity, it's 1, and it can't be faked. Are you trying to find an excuse to embezzle my materials?"
Yu Miaomiao had indeed heard from 'Pipi' before that if an item has been eaten, the quantity will be reduced. If it is less than a bottle, the quantity will be displayed as 0.5 in the item column, and if it is less than half a bottle, it will be displayed as 0, but it can still be traded.
The number of items placed by the other party on the trading column is indeed 1.
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Please send me the information about this water."
"Integrity is the foundation: [Bottle containing liquid]. "
【Name: Bottle with liquid (1/1)
Level: 1
Description: A bottle filled with liquid, looks ordinary
Attributes:
"Integrity is the foundation: Can you please hurry up? My food is about to go bad, and I'm waiting for this backpack expander."
Thinking about how hard it is to get food in the end times, Yu Miaomiao glanced at his name and finally completed the transaction.
After receiving the item, she found that the bottle of strange liquid was not stacked in the same column with the original mineral water. She took out the suspicious item with doubt.
The moment she took it out and saw the disgusting yellow liquid inside, she knew what it was. Even though there was no one around, she couldn't help but curse at the air.
Yu Miaomiao immediately sent a message to the other party.
"Miaomiao is not short of water: It's the end of the world and you still do such dirty things. Do you really think you won't be afraid of retaliation if you remain anonymous?"
The message fell on deaf ears. Yu Miaomiao then remembered the reminder the system had given to players at the beginning: 'All transactions in the chat are real transactions. Once completed, they cannot be withdrawn. Please beware of scams.'
She was deceived in this end times, and it was a very disgusting kind of thing.
Yu Miaomiao opened the world chat channel and was about to expose this person's fraudulent behavior when she saw victims like herself.
