Although selling tea silenced most people, the transactions weren't as fast as Xi Xi had imagined. She waited for quite some time, but no one came to make a purchase.

Upon careful consideration, it is true that when people are starving and freezing, most people will only prioritize food and heating supplies.

The players who are willing to trade with her now either have plenty of food or are not afraid of the cold; in short, they must be living a very comfortable life.

Unfortunately, there are far too few players like this; at least for now, there isn't a single one.

Xi Xi shook her head and chuckled, "But everything has two sides. This way, we can weed out a group of people who like to get something for nothing." It might not be such a bad thing, saving time and effort.

On the other hand, Rui Xiaomin was furious when she saw the public opinion easily dissipate after the topic was shifted. She was determined to teach Xi Xi a lesson if she didn't let her have an easy time. But instead, she got such a lukewarm ending. Wasn't she just being ridiculed and insulted by so many people for nothing?

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Rui Xiaomin's knuckles turned slightly white. She squeezed an empty plastic bottle flat and then threw it on the ground, crushing it under her foot.

Xi Xi, on the other hand, was completely unaware of this. If she had known, she might have felt a brief pang of regret—about that plastic bottle.

As night fell, a thin layer of cold air enveloped the boundless desert, and the flames of the campfire flickered in the cold wind, creating a desolate and chilly atmosphere.

After turning on the air conditioning, the car became warm. Xi Xi even felt a little hot, so she took off her military coat and covered it on her knees before bending down to study the workbench once again.

[Would you like to craft a standard stone knife using 1 unit of common wood and 1 unit of common stone?]

[Ding! Synthesis successful. Congratulations on obtaining 1 Common Stone Knife]

[Would you like to craft a standard stone pickaxe using 2 pieces of common wood and 2 pieces of common stone?]

[Ding! Successful synthesis. Congratulations on obtaining 1 Common Stone Pickaxe]

Xi Xi used up two points of stamina and casually crafted two new tools: a light and small stone knife and a heavy and exquisite stone pickaxe.

[Item Hint: A common-quality stone knife, usable as a self-defense weapon.]

[Item Description: A common quality stone pickaxe, primarily used for mining ores.]

Ore? This survival game even allows mining? Xi Xi raised an eyebrow, becoming more cautious.

In the game, if you can mine ore, you can either use the ore as a base to create a series of ore crafts, or you can sell rare ores for money.

Xi Xi believes that regardless of the possibility, it is a very useful piece of information.

She clasped her hands together, rubbing her fingers as she weighed the item, when suddenly a private message popped up. Xi Xi was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise—it was that lucky person from the public chat earlier!

Li Jinshao (Great Fortune): "Hello, may I ask what weapons you have that I can take a look at?"

Xi Xi : "A stone axe and a stone knife." Sure enough, in this freezing weather, only the luckiest person would have the leisure to trade equipment. Xi Xi rubbed her hands together with some anticipation, hoping that he could bring out something good.

Xi Xi : "" She captured the item prompt and took a picture, intentionally choosing a good angle to show the game-specific tower totem on the stone axe and stone knife, to prove that although they are called ordinary stone axe and ordinary stone knife, they are not ordinary tools from the original world.

After a day of travel, everyone should have a good understanding of the advanced nature of the vehicle power cores in the game's standardized configuration. The utopian technology in the game far surpasses that of the real world. Therefore, the significance of this tower totem at this moment is self-evident.

In addition, Xi Xi did not want to reveal the information that the game had a mining function, which was beneficial to her, so she deliberately kept quiet about the stone pickaxe.

After all, this is a real survival game, and information asymmetry is always the most advantageous weapon.

Li Jinshao's "Great Fortune": "Screenshot of Light Screen"

Li Jinshao (Great Fortune): "How about I trade you a large pack of instant noodles? Five packets, enough for five meals."

That's it? Xi Xi frowned. "I'm not short of food." She wanted to reply like that, but then she felt that being too sharp and assertive without knowing the other person's character could easily cause trouble, so she said tactfully, "I'm not hungry right now."

The person on the other end was clearly taken aback; in this environment of food scarcity, refusing food was truly unexpected.

Li Jinshao was completely taken aback that Xi Xi would look down on the five-pack of island-style tonkotsu ramen that he had reluctantly given up, and he couldn't help but fall into deep thought. He vaguely felt that the person in front of him was not simple.

Li Jinshao (Great Fortune): "What do you need?"

Xi Xi (Xiao Ji): "What do you have?"

During the conversation, neither side was willing to reveal too much about themselves, which put Li Jinshao in a difficult position. Now he was even more certain that Xi Xi was not simple.

When he first saw Xi Xi boiling water for the public at a low price, he thought she was an innocent young girl who had never experienced the ways of the world. Coupled with her soft, coquettish words on the public screen, she seemed really gentle, kind, and lovable.

The Xi Xi he was speaking to at that moment exuded a sense of detachment and indifference in her words. The contrast between her earlier and later demeanor was striking, as if she were a completely different person.

Xi Xi wasn't bothered at all. Seeing that the other party didn't respond, she started organizing the supplies on her own.

She had to make some room so that she could recline the chair back and sleep relatively comfortably at night.

While browsing through the vitamin pills she had bought at the convenience store, Xi Xi casually unscrewed the bottle and took one. Although she didn't know if the nutritional needs of the human body in the game were the same as in the original world, since vitamins existed in the game world, it was always good to take a supplement.
