Chapter 1137 The City Where the Sun Never Sets 7
Fu Anan ate in the room and took a shower. When she finished all this, it was still daylight outside.
Although there is no clock here, one can still feel the passage of time through perception and daily experience.
From the moment she came back, Fu Anan felt that it was evening and getting dark. However, the weather was still like four or five o'clock in the summer.
But Fu Anan was sure that it was definitely past four or five o'clock now.
The Gobi Desert has too much sunshine.
This made Fu Anan suddenly think of the name of this round of game - The City Where the Sun Never Sets.
The name of the game is sometimes also a hint. Judging from the literal meaning, it wouldn’t be Eternal Day, right?
Thinking of this, she ran out and called the woman who was eating, "Boss, does the sun set here?"
"Why does the sun set?"
The boss's emotionless voice startled Fu Anan, who felt that he had discovered an important clue to this round of the game.
“Doesn’t the sun rise from Pangtong in the east and set in the vast desert in the west?”
oh.
The next sentence immediately made her realize that she had misunderstood.
There are no mountains in the desert, so the sun sets here.
"So what time is it now? How do you calculate time here?"
"We get up to work when the sun rises and go home to sleep when the sun goes down. We don't use timekeeping here."
The boss said, impatiently stirring the food in his bowl with a wooden spoon, "Are you done asking? I want to eat."
Fu Anan glanced at the yellow paste in her bowl, with some dried, unknown meat strips beside it. "Take your time to eat."
After getting a negative answer, Fu Anan returned to the room and lay down.
Although it was still bright outside, the light inside the house was dim, just barely enough for sleeping. Fu Anan locked the doors and windows, got dressed and went to bed, spending her first night in the Gobi Desert.
Day 2 of the game
Fu Anan was woken up by the sound of people talking outside.
She sat up, ate two steamed buns with water, and then went out to buy supplies. If she prepared everything early, she would have enough time to find Fu Yizhi.
She first went to buy some mugalang, the same thing she saw the boss eating yesterday.
It looked like sticks, but it was actually something similar to cassava. It was high in starch and quite filling. And it was cheap, so she bought a whole bunch for a single gold piece.
According to the boss's introduction, you can eat it directly after boiling it in a pot. If you want it to taste better, grind it into powder first and then boil it.
After getting the carbohydrates, the next step was meat. Salt was more expensive than gold in the Gobi Desert, and the weather was incredibly hot, so buying meat in a place full of flies was a real pain.
The most important thing is to carefully check whether the meat is fresh and smell it to see if it has become smelly. Some meat is not only smelly, but also has maggots growing on it, which is so disgusting and uncomfortable.
Fu Anan took great pains to select some clean and fresh ones: a whole ox rib and hind leg; a piece of meat that looked like a large lizard; and a piece of gray rabbit meat. These all took three golden beans.
Another thing is water.
This was a small desert with only one source of underground water. Yesterday she was busy going home so she chose a bucket, but today she would definitely go down and fetch water herself.
Can the bucket hold as much as she has space for?
Fu Anan prepared to collect enough water for thirty days at a time.
