Cao Xing also collected the other materials on the ground.
Afterwards, I came to the coal mine with great anticipation.
[A small, ownerless coal mine was discovered. Should we occupy it? ]
"yes."
[Occupation successful, obtain small coal mine*1, obtain bronze treasure chest*1.]
[Congratulations! You are the first survivor in the server to occupy a resource point. You will receive rewards: 1 Ancient Weapon Barrett (Purple), 10 12.7mm Ammunition.]
Cao Xing: “???”
What the hell?
Barrett?
Did I hear that right?
However, when Cao Xing looked at the pitch-black, one-meter-long heavy sniper rifle lying on the snow in front of him, he confirmed his guess.
This is really Barrett!
But when you think about it, it's normal.
After all, this world is a mixture of technology and magic.
In the later stages, the Cold Iron Mechanic can drive a Gundam and summon a fleet of bombers. What’s the point of a Barrett?
Thinking of this, Cao Xing happily picked up the Barrett and the bullets on the ground.
[Ancient Weapon Barrett (Purple)]
【Quality: Rare】
【Attack power: 967~993】
[Attack interval: 2 seconds/time]
[Attached special effect 1: Armor penetration (When attacking, there is a 50% chance to ignore 100 points of enemy armor)]
[Additional Effect 2: Headshot (When attacking the head, an additional 50% damage is caused)]
…
"Fuck! That's so awesome!"
Without a doubt, this is a real killer.
In the early stage, the attack power is more than 900, which is almost enough to kill any god or Buddha!
Add to that the last two special effects, and if all are triggered, monsters below level 20 won’t be able to withstand a single shot!
Although he is a mage, who says that mages can't use Barrett?
But unfortunately, Cao Xing only had 10 rounds of ammunition.
Cao Xing pondered, "I remember that when the territory is upgraded to level 4, some new technological buildings will be unlocked, such as the [Bomb Factory], [Small Snow Robot Production Workshop], etc."
"Then we won't have to worry about bullets!"
Cao Xing put the Barrett into his backpack with satisfaction.
At this moment, he remembered another prompt from the system.
In addition to the Coal resource, there is also a Bronze Treasure Chest.
In other words, there is a high possibility that there is a treasure chest inside!
So Cao Xing thought about it and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll go inside the mine and take a look. You collect the scattered coal outside first."
Liu Muxue nodded gently, "Yes."
After Cao Xing finished speaking, he jumped directly into the mine.
This is just a small mine, no more than four or five meters deep.
In the middle of the nearby soil, you can see some black coal and stones. This place is indeed rich in resources.
According to the system, more than 1,700 pieces of coal can be mined here.
According to the standard of 1 coal = 5 wood, the resources here are enough for him to use for a long time!
Cao Xing even wanted to send a few polar people over to mine now.
However, the four polar men in the territory now all have missions, and there are no extra manpower at the current stage.
Cao Xing thought to himself, "It seems that the upgrade of the polar man's hut should also be put on the agenda."
"We need to recruit more workers, otherwise there will be no one to mine the mines."
However, what is more important right now is to find the treasure chest in this coal mine.
Cao Xing walked to the end of the mine and found a bronze treasure chest in the darkness.
"That's it!"
A system prompt appears.
[Found an unlocked bronze treasure chest*1, do you want to open it? 】
Cao Xing nodded directly.
[Open the bronze treasure chest successfully, and obtain a believer's staff (green)*1,
【Get 2 snow boots (white)】
[Get medical kit*1, get food*15, get refined iron*5]
【Obtain market construction drawings*1.】
"Eh? The construction blueprints are out on the market?"
Cao Xing's eyes lit up with joy.
Only after building a market can you trade with other survivors.
Although only a few hours have passed since Cao Xing came to this world.
However, with more than 7 billion people on the entire Blue Planet having traveled through time, with such a large population base, there must be quite a few people who have already built a [market].
Cao Xing checked the introduction of this drawing.
[Market: After construction, you can trade resources with other survivors. 】
(Note: Before the merger, you can only trade with other survivors in the survivor's area.)
【Area of land: 20 square meters. 】
[Materials required for construction: Stone*15, Wood*30.]
Cao Xing thought for a moment and said, "Can we only trade with the survivors in this area first?"
"But it won't have much of an impact. District 174 has tens of thousands of people, and there are a lot of supplies circulating in the market."
Cao Xing began to check the other two pieces of equipment he had just obtained.
[Believer's Cane (Green), Quality: Excellent, Attack Power: 15~18, Spirit +3, Attached Special Effect: Believer's Grip (When attacking, there is a 20% chance to increase your own Spirit +10)]
(Note: The cane of a fanatic believer, when you are fighting, shouting: Black silk is justice, will have unexpected effects~)
Who the hell is shouting?
Baisi is justice, okay?
Cao Xing was speechless, always feeling that this system note was a bit improper.
He began to examine the second piece of equipment.
[Snow boots (white), quality: normal, armor: none, special effects: none. ]
(Note: Snow boots with good cold resistance can help you walk better in ice and snow.)
"Another piece of cold-weather gear."
Cao Xing was delighted.
There were two pairs of snow boots, one for him and one for Liu Muxue.
So he took off his black leather shoes and put on fur-covered snow boots.
The feet that were almost numb from the cold were now wrapped in warmth.
Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction.
There is another item in the treasure chest.
[Medical Kit (White): Can be used to treat injuries or common illnesses, and restore 100 health points.]
(Note: This simple medical kit can be used to treat some common symptoms caused by weather, such as colds, fevers, frostbite, etc.)
This is also a good thing. Before the [Infirmary] is built, this medical kit is a lifesaver!
After all, there are some diseases that even the Aurora Knight's [Purification Technique] cannot dispel.
After checking around and confirming that there was nothing else in the coal mine, Cao Xing prepared to leave.
However, before leaving, he disassembled the treasure chest as well.
[Successfully decomposed the bronze treasure chest and obtained 5 coppers. ]
…
Cao Xing drilled out of the mine.
After seeing him come out, Liu Muxue said softly: "Axing, collect all the coal on the ground. There are 112 pieces of coal in total. It's enough for us to use for a long time!"
There was a look of joy on her face.
Cao Xing nodded and said, "Well done, sister-in-law."
"I'll give you this pair of snow boots first."
After saying that, Cao Xing put the boots under Liu Muxue's feet.
He noticed that Liu Muxue's legs had turned red from being frozen, her ten toes were tightly clasped, and her buttocks were trembling constantly.
Five or six minutes have passed since they came out.
If Liu Muxue didn't return to the campfire in a few minutes, her legs might be completely frozen.
Although Liu Muxue also longed for this pair of snow boots, she also knew how precious these boots were in such an extreme environment.
"Can you really give me this pair of boots?" Liu Muxue asked tentatively.
Cao Xing smiled and said, "Of course I can give them to you. I already have a pair, and Elena has no legs. Who else can wear them except you?"
Liu Muxue stopped refusing and whispered, "Thank you...Axing."
Cao Xing waved his hand, signaling her to change quickly.
At this moment, Liu Muxue said a little embarrassedly: "Ah Xing... can you help me? My legs are a little out of control."
After saying this, her cheeks had turned red all the way to her ears.
Cao Xing didn't think much about it, he just walked up to her and put Liu Muxue's hand on his shoulder.
A faint fragrance wafts from the tip of the nose.
Liu Muxue hugged Cao Xing's neck and raised her right leg with some difficulty.
Seeing her like this, Cao Xing knew that her legs were frozen.
"Sister-in-law, let me help you put it on."
After saying that, before Liu Muxue could react, Cao Xing directly lifted her legs covered with white silk.
“Hmm…”
Liu Muxue's body trembled and her beautiful eyes suddenly widened.
Without thinking twice, Cao Xing quickly helped her put on two pairs of snow boots, then bent down.
"Sister-in-law, I'll carry you back to the camp."
Hearing this, Liu Muxue became even more shy.
But she also knew that given her current condition, she had to return to the camp as soon as possible to keep warm.
"Sorry...sorry to trouble you..." Liu Muxue replied softly.
The next moment, a pair of slender arms grabbed Cao Xing's neck.
Then she felt a pair of large, strong hands grabbing her thighs.
It seemed like this was the first time that another man touched this part of her body. Liu Muxue let out a slight gasp and her face turned red all the way to her neck.
Liu Muxue lowered her head deeply.
Cao Xing felt a delicate and soft touch between his hands.
I thought to myself: "This woman... has a very soft body..."
Then, Cao Xing carried Liu Muxue on his back and took Ilena with him.
The two men and the snake returned to the camp.
The warmth from the bonfire came back again.
The stiffness in the body gradually dissipated.
After settling Liu Muxue.
Cao Xing looked up and saw that the sky was getting darker.
There is still half an hour until dark.
He had to build a small shelter before dark for Ilena to live in at night.
Otherwise, if these residents are left to freeze at night, their loyalty will drop.
In addition, he also needs to build a market to trade with other survivors.
Cao Xing took a look at the current territory resources.
[Food: Bread*50, Snake Meat*17, Wolf Meat*134]
[Wood*97, Coal*112, Stone*62]
"It's OK. There are enough building materials from the lumber mill and the market, and the remaining materials can also build a small residence."
So Cao Xing shouted into the distance, "Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang, both of you come back."
Hearing the order, the polar people put down their work and returned to the campfire trembling.
"My Lord, what can I do for you?"
Cao Xing nodded, and then began to give orders: "Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang, the two of you go and build the lumber mill."
"San Zhuang, the task of building the market is up to you."
"Si Zhuang, go build a small residence."
At this point, Cao Xing added, "After you finish this, you can have dinner."
After hearing the last sentence, the four polar men's eyes lit up.
"Don't worry, lord. I promise to complete the mission before dark!"
"Yes, we will do the job, Lord, don't worry."
