After opening the second space, the first space he obtained was a potato, which made Lu Yuan feel very happy.
"Great! Just what I wanted came right away! It seems like dealing with the food for the first phase shouldn't be a problem!"
So, Lu Yuan immediately entered the dimensional space to see what potatoes looked like.
He excitedly entered the dimensional space and used his dagger as a shovel to dig at the ground.
Finally, he dug everywhere but found no potatoes.
"What the heck? Are you kidding me?"
Lu Yuan was utterly stunned to see the empty space.
"Oh my god, am I supposed to collect potatoes myself?"
Upon realizing this, Lu Yuan paused for a moment, then asked the system.
"Hey, hey, hey, you're not really going to make me go find potato tubers, are you?"
[Yes, host. The space only provides soil suitable for growing items. The requirements for potatoes to grow in the second space are: potato tubers (any variety of potato will do!), water, and some fertilizer (including your own manure)]
When Lu Yuan saw these demands, he suddenly felt that he had been too happy for a while.
"Damn it, I knew it wouldn't be that simple! Looks like I should have kept my own water reserves for when things get tough!"
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan looked at the dozen or so bottles of water he had collected in the house, and then at his one-cubic-meter space.
"It seems I need to leave enough moisture in these potatoes, otherwise I'm afraid I won't have enough food once the disaster starts!"
So, Lu Yuan immediately opened the chat room.
The computer screen kept flashing, showing ten million people chatting online, so he could see all the chat content.
However, much of the chat content was just fluff and meaningless chatter, which Lu Yuan simply censored.
Then he found the keyword "water" in the quick search bar, where he saw a lot of valuable information about water.
"Water is something we'll all need to survive from now on, so everyone should collect it carefully!"
"After our team's reconnaissance, we've discovered that the probability of finding various supplies in these places is consistent! Water is the most needed item, followed by food, then weapons, and then some junk! Everyone should keep their water safe!"
"Several incidents of water theft have already occurred here. Everyone should be extra careful and beware of water resources being taken!"
"That's right, we are those people, so you all need to be careful! Also, we have a lot of water resources to sell right now. If you need them, contact us. Pretty girls are preferred. No one-eyed or three-eyed monsters, only one-eyed girls!"
"A 500ml bottle of water costs about one level-one crystal. The closer we get to the disaster, the more expensive it will be. Everyone should stock up on water!"
"More than two thousand people disappeared from our channel overnight, which means more than two thousand people died. Everyone should stay in safe places and make sure they are well prepared before going out. Also, find plenty of water!"
...
Looking at the overwhelming amount of news, a serious expression appeared on Lu Yuan's face.
"It seems things are much more serious than I thought. Everyone is searching for water; it looks like there's no market for it!"
Lu Yuan searched the entire information board and trading area but couldn't find anyone selling water. Whenever he saw someone selling water, it was almost instantly snatched away.
He had no interest in waiting around looking for an opportunity to buy water.
Next, Lu Yuan checked the chat history to see if Potato appeared.
To Lu Yuan's surprise, the keyword "potato" actually appeared, and people were talking about potatoes.
Lu Yuan found the person who owned the potatoes through their chat history and immediately contacted them.
He first looked at the other person's profile picture and found that she was a normal human girl just like him, which made him feel less uncomfortable.
So he tentatively sent the other person a friend request.
Surprisingly, the other party didn't say anything and agreed to his request.
"Hello Sophia, my name is Lu Yuan. I'd like to ask if you have any potatoes left?"
After hearing this, the other party sent a frustrated emoji.
"I'm so sorry, I didn't get the potatoes. I was scammed. He took all my crystals."
Upon seeing what the other person said, Lu Yuan was about to close the chat window.
Then the other party sent another message.
"Can you help me? Could you try giving me some water or other food?"
Lu Yuan also sent the other party a very apologetic emoji.
"I'm sorry, I don't have much food to feed others right now."
Lu Yuan then ignored the other party, closed the chat window, and continued searching for his next target.
However, after chatting for a while, Lu Yuan discovered that none of these people were willing to trade what they had.
They would rather exchange their useless crystals for some miscellaneous resources.
"Damn it, it looks like I'll have to find this map myself, but it's going to be pretty difficult, with only about a 2% chance."
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan couldn't help but feel helpless. There was a 2% chance that he might miss. Even if he collected two hundred houses, he might not be able to find potatoes.
Thinking about this, the passerby fell into deep thought, when suddenly his attention was drawn to the constantly popping chat box.
"Ugh, this person is so annoying."
Lu Yuan really wanted to unfriend the other person, but the system rules stipulated that once a friend was added, they could not be deleted within three days.
Furthermore, it's not possible to set up a function to block messages from friends.
Left with no other option, Lu Yuan opened the chat window and saw dozens of requests from the other party.
The last sentence is: "If you're willing, I'm willing to do anything for you, anything at all."
Upon seeing this sentence, Lu Yuan seemed to sense that the other person had a desperate expression on their face.
"I'm sorry, I really can't help you. You should ask someone else."
Lu Yuan's cruel message to the other party wasn't entirely his fault; it was a system-designed game of survival of the fittest. If he helped the other party, the other party might forget who he was as soon as he turned around.
When you encounter disaster again, the other party might take advantage of your misfortune.
But Sophia's last message instantly captivated Lu Yuan.
"I know where that person lives. If you can help me, I'll only take one of these things as payment for providing the clue, and the other nine are yours. Is that alright?"
