From their information, Cao Xing learned that many people had died.
Most of them died from cold weather, and a few were attacked by monsters in the wild.
The entire human environment is in a state of panic and anxiety.
There are other calmer survivors on the World Channel, too, sharing their experiences there.
Zhang Huaiyun: "Brothers, you must build the Lord's Hut as soon as possible. Only after the Lord's Hut is built can other buildings be unlocked!"
Ed Stafford: "I suggest that you collect the stones and wood near the territory as soon as possible, and then upgrade the campfire level."
Wang Sheng: "If you encounter a monster in the wild, don't try to attack it. Remember to run back immediately and run to the campfire area, then the monster will not attack you!"
…
Just as Cao Xing had expected, among the world's 7 billion people, there are many people with good adaptability.
However, compared to Cao Xing, they were still a step slower.
Not only did they not play the game in advance like Cao Xing, they also did not have SSS-level hidden talents.
During these four hours, Cao Xing not only built the lord's hut and the polar man's hut, but also built a lumberyard, a market and other buildings, and upgraded the campfire to level 3.
Moreover, after two battles, Cao Xing's resources have reached an abundant level.
Cao Xing thought about it and added a sentence.
Cao Xing: "The lowest temperature at night will drop to -60℃. Don't go out casually. If you don't have time to build a lord's hut, you can first build a simple shelter with wood and stones, which can barely withstand the low temperature on the first night."
After Cao Xing finished speaking, he closed the world channel.
He didn't know how many people would see his message.
I don’t know if anyone can use his method and survive the first night.
But no matter what, just take it as a friendly reminder to yourself.
Then he turned on the [Regional Channel].
According to the system description, this is a square area of 500 km * 500 km.
Shown above.
【174 Regional Channel】
【Online users: 38224/40173】
Cao Xing was silent for a moment.
Obviously, a lot of people died on the first day.
In his area alone, nearly two thousand people have died.
One can imagine how high the death rate is among survivors worldwide.
But there is nothing we can do about it. In a survival game, many people will be eliminated.
Moreover, once we get through the first day, everyone will adapt and the death rate will not be that high.
Of course, once the novice protection period is over, the monsters roaming outside may actively attack the camp, and the death rate may rise again.
So, it's not just the other survivors.
Even Cao Xing has to cherish the time of the novice protection period and seize the opportunity to develop his own territory.
Click on the [Regional Channel] and a lot of information will pop up immediately.
Wang Wenjie: "Brothers, are you all from Hong Kong?"
Gu Boren: "I am not from Hong Kong, but I am from the neighboring city of Shenzhen and Hong Kong."
Qiao Pingwei: "I am from Hong Kong."
Pan Fei: "I am also from Hong Kong."
After reading the above chat, Cao Xing nodded suddenly.
This regional division should be to randomly assign people from several neighboring cities together.
At this time, Wang Wenjie continued, "My fellow countrymen, I'm in trouble. My sister suddenly passed out due to hypothermia and now has a high fever. Does anyone have cold medicine or antibiotics? Please save my sister!"
Qi Qiang: "My family is also sick. My parents have already collapsed. It's just me and my brother left. What should I do if this continues?"
Lu Jizhong: "It's a problem. After tonight, there won't be enough food for tomorrow, and there's no warm clothes..."
Fang Long: "I am Fang Long from the Three Heroes Society. Please help other brothers contact me as soon as possible."
In the chat channels, many people are talking about the difficulties they are currently facing, hoping to get help from others.
Of course, there are also some survivors who have developed in this area.
Chen Tianhao: "Haha, you little cowards, just stay near the campfire. I've found a treasure chest in the snow, and I found an iron sword and a bunch of food inside."
Ji Wenlong: "I also opened a treasure chest, and found a medical kit inside, which can cure colds and fevers. If you want it, bring food or weapons to exchange with me!"
Cheng Lei: "Winter coats for sale. Food is needed. Lots of food!"
…
From the information of these people above, we can see that everyone is short of supplies.
Cao Xing turned off the regional channel. He also had to go to the market to trade some supplies.
Cao Xing clicked on the [Market] interface of the territory building.
As soon as I opened it, I saw many transaction information on it.
[Consignment items: Stone*20]
[Required items: Food*10 or Medical Kit*1.]
【Consignor: Zhao Jiaxing】
(Seller's note: Basic material, price negotiable.)
…
[Consignment item: Rusty spear (white) *1,]
[Required items: Food*20. ]
【Consignor: Anonymous】
(Seller's note: Iron spear, although rusty, but still stronger than the initial weapon given by the system. Need food! Food!)
…
[Consignment item: opened bronze treasure chest*1. ]
[Required items: warm clothing. ]
【Consignor: Wang Wen】
(Seller's note: Although I have already opened the treasure chest, it can be decomposed into rare materials such as copper. Give me some warm clothes. I am almost freezing to death!)
…
Apparently, this is the first day of the Global Advent.
In this world with extreme conditions, the most scarce things are naturally food, warm clothing, and medicine.
Everyone is exchanging the limited resources they have.
Cao Xing only had one medical kit and he didn't even have enough warm clothes.
So of course it is impossible to trade these things.
He continued browsing to see if there was anything he needed.
At this time, he saw a consignment information.
[Consignment Item: Ice Armor Skill Book (White)*1]
[Required items: Food*50, or Medical Kit*5.]
【Consignor: Mai Lese】
(Seller's note: This is an early skill book for the Frost Mage, so it can be cut down a bit. Buy it now!)
Cao Xing's eyes moved slightly.
It turned out to be the Frost Mage's [Ice Armor]!
This skill can increase armor value according to the user's mental strength. The effect lasts for 20 seconds, but the consumption is relatively large.
For other frost mages, this may be a piece of cake, but for Cao Xing, it is a magical skill!
Because this skill can be turned into a permanent enhancement skill by combining it with your own talents.
Then combined with Ilena's [Scale Armor], Cao Xing's defense will reach a terrifying level!
At this moment, Cao Xing even wanted to take a picture of this skill book on the spot.
But it was obvious that this guy was asking for an exorbitant price and directly asked for 50 pieces of food.
Fortunately, the seller's note said that bargaining is possible, which means there is still room for negotiation.
So, Cao Xing opened the consignment private chat interface.
Cao Xing: "Ten food in exchange for the Ice Armor skill book."
Within a few seconds, Maileser sent a speechless expression.
Maileser: "I asked you to bargain, not to bargain with others. You want to exchange ten pieces of food for a skill book, why don't you go and grab it?"
"Go, go, go play!"
Cao Xing replied: "I know you are anxious, but wait, what if I tell you that this is not ordinary food, but meat?"
Melese: "Meat? You got the meat so quickly?"
There was strong surprise in the other party's tone.
Cao Xing knew that the other party didn't believe him. After all, at the current stage, meat can only be obtained from wild monsters.
It was obvious that on the first day, almost no one could defeat those wild monsters.
Cao Xing directly pasted the item information into the private chat window, but what he sent was information about snake meat.
It was not until this time that Maileser finally believed that Cao Xing had flesh on his hands.
"That's great, brother! I actually let you get some snake meat."
Cao Xing asked directly: "What do you think, will you sell it?"
Melese: "Of course I will sell it, but what you're giving me is too little, isn't it? At least 40 food items, which is 8 pieces of snake meat, or forget it!"
Cao Xing said, "What are you thinking? 8 pieces of snake meat. I don't even have that much. At most 3 pieces of snake meat."
However, the man named Maileser insisted that the number of snake meat should not exceed 6 pieces.
After hearing this, Cao Xing replied directly: "Forget it, keep it for yourself."
"Ice Armor is just an early stage skill, and its drop rate is not low. After tomorrow, you won't be able to exchange it for food even if you want to."
After hearing this, the other party seemed a little hesitant.
Melese asked doubtfully, "Are you telling the truth?"
