Faced with this situation, Jiang An did not choose to directly purchase energy stones on the trading channel.
The reason is simple: energy stones have become an extremely scarce and precious resource. Not only have their prices been driven up to extremely high levels, but the market is also experiencing a supply shortage.
Moreover, all materials related to upgrading safe houses are extremely sought after, with most already held tightly by other players who hoard them and wait for the right opportunity to make a fortune.
But this difficulty was no match for Jiang An.
She skillfully opened the light screen in front of her, quickly entered several active groups, and posted an eye-catching advertisement: "One iron essence for one energy stone!"
She firmly believed that this attractive offer would soon draw many players to trade with her.
After sending the advertisement, Jiang An did not pay much attention to the various messages that kept popping up in the group.
She calmly turned around and reopened the trading channel, buying all six missing electronic components.
Considering the possibility of unforeseen circumstances, the cautious Jiang An even purchased an extra 20 as spares.
Since the auction house function is not yet open at this stage, she has more transaction points than she can use, so she naturally needs to make full preparations.
After putting the electronic components into his backpack, Jiang An hurriedly opened the group chat.
Everyone was looking for her.
"You're exchanging iron essence for energy stones? You're planning to level up to level 7!"
"Wow, impressive! No wonder you were the number one ranked player in our 2333 district back then. You're about to reach level 7. If nothing unexpected happens, you'll be the first one!"
"I can exchange for 30 energy stones!"
"I'll trade 20!"
"I don't have enough energy stones. Can I exchange them for iron essence using other materials?"
"I don't have enough either. Can I exchange it for green leaf juice, or other superior-grade food?"
"What's level 7? Don't forget to share in this group after you level up!"
"Yes, although I'm still missing a lot of materials, I'm really eager to see what level 7 materials are!"
... ... ...
Jiang An replied to each one.
Soon, she had gathered all the energy stones she needed.
In no time, she had put all the upgrade materials into her backpack.
“Upgrade to level 7!” Jiang An said directly.
[Ding! Upgrade cost: Level 7 blueprint, 200 Iron Essence, 100 Copper Essence, 100 Gold, 100 Electronic Components, 100 Energy Stones, 500 Stones?]
"Yes!" Jiang An said decisively.
[Ding! This upgrade will take 30 minutes. Please leave the safe house and proceed to the surface.]
Players will not be attacked during the upgrade!
Upon hearing this, Jiang An quickly turned around, reached out and gently scooped up the little turtle and mouse, leading them out of the safe house and onto the solid ground.
She walked briskly straight towards the camel shed.
It should be noted that an entire day had passed, and Jiang An had not returned, nor had he fed the camels.
When Jiang An finally arrived at the camel shed, the camel seemed to sense a familiar presence and immediately let out a deep and powerful roar.
The roar was full of enthusiasm and joy, as if it were welcoming the return of its long-absent master.
Clearly, this intelligent mother camel has come to realize who has been taking care of her, providing her with food and water, and who is the true caregiver who ensures her survival.
Jiang An gently placed the little turtle and mouse on the ground, then quickly walked to the camel.
She raised her hand and gently stroked the camel's fluffy head, feeling the warmth of its soft fur.
Next, take out the prepared clean water and slowly pour it into the water trough specially set up for camels.
The camel hadn't drunk a drop of water all day and night, and now it desperately needed a large amount of hydration.
Fortunately, camels have a unique physiological structure that allows them to convert the fat stored in their humps into energy to sustain life when food is scarce.
Otherwise, in such hot and dry weather conditions, if someone goes without food or water for nearly 24 hours, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Upon seeing the clear, transparent water in the trough, the camel became extremely excited and let out a series of joyful calls.
Immediately afterwards, it eagerly lowered its head, opened its mouth wide, and began to drink heartily.
Its throat was constantly moving, and water was rapidly flowing into its stomach through its esophagus.
Before long, it drank up every last drop of the full tank of water.
Looking at the empty water tank in front of him, Jiang An quickly reached for his storage ring again.
With a faint flash of light, she took out the delicious feed she had carefully prepared for the camels from her ring.
It was poured in directly.
Watching the camel wolf down its food, Jiang An slowly turned her head and whispered to the two little ones beside her, "Let's go outside and see the beautiful moon!"
No sooner had the words been spoken than a clear "cooing" sound came from behind. It turned out that the little turtle was excitedly waving its four paws, indicating that it completely agreed to the proposal.
For it, being able to stay with its beloved mother is the happiest thing, no matter what it does.
Then came a melodious "squeak," the squirrel's voice, which also sounded very happy!
Jiang An quickly took out two soft picnic mats from his backpack and laid them flat on the sun-baked, scorching sand.
Then, with graceful movements, she used her hand as a pillow and lay down comfortably on the picnic mat.
The crystal-clear ice pendant she wore on her chest emitted a pleasant, cool sensation, ignoring all the heated discussions around her.
She tilted her head slightly, her gaze fixed on the bright moon in the sky, as clear as a jade plate.
The night sky is exceptionally enchanting tonight, with the moon appearing in pairs as always, one high in the east and the other high in the west, like two dazzling pearls set in the vast night sky.
