Although Su Han wanted to return the cold-proof clothing with courage, as soon as she took off her down jacket, goose bumps on her arms stood up to protest her. Su Han had no choice but to resign herself to her fate and put on the clothes and zipped them up.
Thinking of Zhong Rui's suggestion just now, "Exchange the gold and jewelry in the later stage of the game, and sell them cheaply in the next copy", Su Han's expression changed, and he wrapped himself tightly and went out shopping.
The streets were sparsely populated and looked quite desolate. Su Han wandered aimlessly, thinking that when supplies were scarce, there should be a market.
Sure enough, after walking for a while, she heard a commotion in the distance. Su Han walked closer and soon found a small market.
“We buy down jackets, wool blankets, cotton boots, and cotton pants at high prices.”
"The ancestral jade bracelet is only exchanged for food."
"Urgently looking for antipyretic drugs, price negotiable!!"
Su Han glanced at a few stalls and found that the price of winter clothing was much higher than the previous two days. When the tornado hit, no one took winter clothing seriously; until the cold wave arrived, many people realized that the situation was not good, and they rushed to buy, almost driving the price of winter clothing to the sky.
"The island has a pleasant climate and it's spring-like all year round. Who would have thought that one day the temperature would drop below zero?" A customer sighed repeatedly, expressing the thoughts of many people. "No one would want to stock up on down jackets. Because you don't have the opportunity to wear them on a regular basis, there's no need! Blankets are bought for decoration and are basically useless."
Su Han could understand this kind of thinking. Because there had never been a similar situation in the past, he subconsciously believed that it would never happen again. So when the disaster struck, he was particularly at a loss.
But understanding does not mean agreement. As a survivalist, she feels that she should always be prepared to face various survival challenges.
She had only stockpiled a camel wool blanket and didn't make any other preparations. On the surface, it seemed like it was due to lack of consideration, but the deeper reason was actually that she had no money... If she had more money, she would have gone shopping long ago.
I felt reluctant to exchange limited, precious, and definitely useful survival supplies for cold-weather supplies that might not be useful in this round of the game. I thought to myself that I would stock up when I made money later, but an accident suddenly happened.
Su Han shook her head and stopped thinking about it, instead concentrating on shopping. After walking around, she had a rough idea in her mind.
Winter gear has been hyped up to sky-high prices, so it's not worthwhile to stock up now. It's better to exchange more gold jewelry and buy as much as you want in the next dungeon. And... jewelry is really cheap nowadays.
"A gold safety lock in exchange for three loaves of bread? Well, how about cakes, biscuits, or chocolates?"
"Gold ring, gold necklace, gold earrings, gold bracelet, gold anklet? I want them all."
"A pigeon blood ruby ring? The price is too high. I'll take it if it's cheaper."
"The emerald has a nice color and is worth considering if the price is right."
In just a few moments, Su Han had received a box of gold and jewelry. She converted the price according to normal prices and felt that what she was holding was not a box, but a large house.
**
On the way back to the inn, Su Han went to the beach for a walk. As expected, there were no more seafood washed ashore by the waves.
As Su Han was walking, he passed by the dock and glanced to the side. He was stunned. Isn't that guy over there Zhong Rui? Next to him was...
Su Han was stunned. There were actually several super large containers next to Zhong Rui!
She couldn't help but hold her forehead, thinking that people's thinking is really different. For example, some people hoard bottled mineral water, while others hoard barreled mineral water. Another example is that some people use backpacks to pack things, some use storage boxes, and some people prefer containers...
With plenty of money, a portable warehouse, and containers, this guy will become a system bug... Thinking of this, Su Han couldn't help but watch the boss from a close distance.
Unexpectedly, Zhong Rui looked unhappy and complained, "What's going on? You told me it's too big and can't fit?"
"Puchi", Su Han couldn't help laughing out loud.
Zhong Rui turned his head, his expression slightly relieved, "Why are you here?"
"I went to exchange a lot of jewelry." Su Han asked, "What about you?"
Zhong Rui laughed at himself, "As you can see, I was trying to put the container into the portable warehouse, but unfortunately the system didn't allow it."
Without waiting for Su Han's reaction, he sighed and said, "I was planning to get a motorhome and put it in the warehouse, but now it's all ruined."
RV...Su Han discovered that there were many magical operations in the game that she had never thought of.
"Where did you get so much money?" Su Han was quite curious. She felt that it would be impossible to become so rich just by selling jewelry.
Zhong Rui hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to tell the truth, "In the later stage of the novice copy, I tried to collect some currency and then brought it into the second round of the game. Unexpectedly, the currency was universal, and in this copy, the currency restored its normal purchasing power. It was an unexpected surprise."
Su Han, "..."
The guy in front of me is someone who has cleared the novice dungeon! What does it mean to be on the 20th day of hyperinflation? ?
Zhong Rui further explained, "On the 20th day of the novice copy, 3 million shells can only buy a bowl of noodles (although there is a shortage of supplies and there is nowhere to buy). But that money is a huge sum of money in this round of the game, and can buy a lot of things."
"You are amazing." Su Han was deeply moved.
"You're not bad either." Zhong Rui looked at the time and his face tensed. He said quickly, "I still have a lot of things to do. I'll leave first."
Then he left in a hurry.
Looking at the receding figure, Su Han murmured softly, "You actually told me important information for free. It seems that it is not bad to have a reliable companion."
For the first time since entering the game, she felt that forming a team was a great idea, as two people could make up for each other's shortcomings.
**
On the 12th day, the system reported the death on time, "There will be light snow today, with the lowest temperature being minus 10 degrees Celsius. The weak will easily get frostbite. (People with physical strength > 80 will be immune)"
"Due to frozen water pipes, water supply to the island will be cut off from today."
-10 degrees Celsius...
Su Han wrapped himself tightly in his blanket, determined to stay in his room and not go anywhere.
But without power and heating, life was really hard. Although she had wrapped herself tightly, with only her head exposed to the air, she still felt the cold.
Suddenly, Su Han remembered something and couldn't help but rush out. Zhong Rui was standing outside the door, and was about to knock on it, and the two almost bumped into each other.
They met unexpectedly and were both stunned.
"What's the matter?" Su Han asked first.
Zhong Rui quickly regained his composure, "The weather is too cold, I plan to use firewood to keep warm. But if two people gather in a room to warm themselves, the firewood can last longer, so I wanted to ask if you would like to come over."
Su Han nodded, "That's fine, I was just thinking of making a fire to boil some hot water to drink, and soak a hot water bottle at the same time."
"Let's go together."
The two of them went to the warehouse to get firewood, and then returned to 502 to make a bonfire.
Su Han moved closer to the fire to keep warm. He felt the chillness in his body gradually fade away and couldn't help but relax.
"If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have been lazy. If I had cut down one more tree, I wouldn't have to worry about not having enough firewood." Su Han was quite annoyed.
Zhong Rui said casually, "Don't worry, I have stockpiled charcoal and solid alcohol, so it won't be a problem to survive for five days."
Su Han, "..."
Is this the calmness of rich people? Buy whatever they want without having to think too much? Su Han had to admit that the guy in front of him looked very reliable.
"What was changed behind the container?" Su Han chatted idly.
"Ten storage boxes, if they are any bigger, it won't work." Zhong Rui felt very regretful.
"But compared to 100 items, the storage box can obviously hold more supplies, so it's not bad. At least it can hold a lot more things than before."
"I originally planned to use the supplies as disposable consumables, but now most of the items can be packed into a portable warehouse and taken to the next instance, which is great."
Su Han couldn't control his expression, and was slightly shocked. What do you mean most of the items can be put in? Can't even 10 storage boxes hold them? How many things did this guy hoard?
Originally, Su Han thought she was crazy enough, but now she realizes that there is always a mountain higher than the one you climb.
"I think you can live well on your own and don't need a companion at all." Su Han sighed from the bottom of his heart.
Zhong Rui disagreed, "You will encounter various situations in a survival game, so it is always good to be more prepared."
Su Han was speechless and quietly took out some snacks from his pocket and started eating.
Zhong Rui couldn't help but look away. He had food on him, more than 90 packs of compressed biscuits, which were very filling. But the food didn't taste very good, and it tasted very torturous.
There were many things to prepare, and he was so busy running around that he forgot to stock up on snacks. By the time he realized it, it was too late.
Zhong Rui, who had been eating compressed biscuits for several days, refused to watch others enjoy the delicious food.
Who knows——
"Would you like to eat?" Su Han took out chocolate cake, pork floss cream bread, candies, chocolates, and biscuits one by one, and said enthusiastically, "Take whatever you like."
Zhong Rui endured it again and again, but finally couldn't hold it back any longer and said firmly, "Then I won't be polite."
He quickly boiled mineral water to cook noodles and took a big bite of the soft meat floss butter bread. He thought to himself, as expected, having companions makes people feel more at ease.
After the water boiled, Su Han soaked a hot water bottle and couldn't wait to put his hand on it.
His frozen fingers gradually became flexible, and his body became warmer. Su Han let out a long breath and felt like he was in heaven.
The author has something to say: Stocking up in advance is like being a genius if you do it right, but it seems stupid if you do it wrong. In fact, no one knows what will happen in the future, all we can do is to prepare as much as possible.
