Chapter 34 Dungeon: Desert Treasure Hunt
Every sea area presents its own unique challenges, and the simplest of these are the food shortages in the initial sea areas and the lack of cooling supplies in the extremely hot sea areas.
The extremely hot seas only appeared later in the previous life, and the test was a solar storm. Mingzhao wasn't confident that his current level-two ship could withstand a solar storm.
Cosmic Invincible Greymon: "I still have cooling patches and refrigerant here. You can buy them from me if you need them. The price is the same as before."
Beautiful young woman and strong man: "Wow, there aren't many conscientious businessmen like you these days."
Mingzhao then opened the private messages between the mixed-race prince and the prince who never washes his hair.
Cosmic Invincible Greymon: "I have air conditioners, water-cooled machines, ice machines, and cooling patches here. Do you need them? The prices are in this list. [Image]"
The mixed-race prince never washes his hair or replies to messages; he simply sends over the cost of materials for two air conditioners, a water chiller, an ice maker, and 10 cooling patches.
I'm really curious how she managed to get so many materials, since she almost never does business with anyone.
When Mingzhao opened her private messages, she found that many people had sent her messages.
"Hey bro, do you still have air conditioner? I'm out of refrigerant, can I use an upgrade card to get it?"
Divorced with two kids: "Hey bro, can I owe you the refrigerant? I'll give it to you as soon as I get it."
Creamy Peach: "Brother Long~ My clothes are soaked with sweat from the heat. [Image]"
...
Mingzhao ignored the outrageous information and sent the two extra air conditioners and refrigeration units to the two people who offered the highest prices, in exchange for 30 upgrade cards and some copper blocks, zinc blocks, and wires.
She needed to save the remaining refrigerant first, since she didn't know when the test would end, and she had to prioritize herself and the people in the small group.
The cooling patches don't need a refrigerant. Mingzhao took out the 100 he had made before and planned to make some more after the water-cooled clothing was finished.
Open the large group.
Cosmic Invincible Greymon: "Large quantities of Cooling Patches for long-term sale. Limited quantity, first come, first served."
AAA Cambodia Labor Dispatch: "Why are there only cooling patches? Where's the air conditioning?"
Cosmic Invincible Greymon: "If there's refrigerant, I'll buy it too."
Take things lightly: "I can sell air conditioners here. No refrigerant is needed, but blueprints are required."
Fish and chips: "If you don't speak, no one will think you're stupid. Are you desperate for money? [Image]"
The picture shows a price list for the "Take It Easy" service, which requires 50 upgrade cards.
Practice what you preach: "Don't panic, everyone. Based on our experience in the initial sea area, the refrigerant shortage will end soon. You can use cooling patches to keep warm for now. Change them frequently and it won't get hot."
Perhaps it was the principle of putting knowledge into practice that made a difference, as many cooling patches were sold.
At this point, Mingzhao noticed another hot topic being discussed in the group.
Grilled Chicken Leg Burger: "All the batteries in the trading hall are sold out. Does anyone have any batteries to sell? The air conditioning drains the electricity so fast, but if I don't turn it on, I'll die of heat."
Carbon-based bio-organism: "Forget about air conditioning, I can't even afford to turn on a water chiller now. I feel like my engine is about to explode."
Mingzhao doesn't lack batteries now. She collected a lot before and reused them with solar panels, so she hasn't encountered any problems with power.
The sunlight is very strong now, and the sunshine hours are long. She calculated that one solar panel can charge about 20 batteries a day, and she has two, which is 40 batteries.
Why not take advantage of the extreme temperatures in the ocean to accumulate a batch of battery resources?
Cosmic Invincible Greymon: "We offer a battery trade-in program where two used batteries can be exchanged for one fully charged battery. Alternatively, you can exchange them for materials."
Sexy, Exploding Cockroach: "Why didn't you say so sooner? I threw away all the batteries I used up. Help!"
However, most people did not throw them away, since the batteries did not take up much space, and Mingzhao's two solar panels started running busily again.
The transaction was completed at 8 p.m., and it was only just getting dark.
But the sweltering heat still lingers, and you'll break into a sweat as soon as you step outside.
Mingzhao brewed a pot of herbal tea that Boss Ban had given her, put it in the refrigerator, and planned to drink it after it cooled down.
Then I got into the driver's seat and took out the curling iron.
The sound of 100,000 volts, accompanied by lightning and thunder, reappeared on her course.
After two hours of electrocution, Mingzhao killed five carnivorous starfish, three mini great white sharks, three synaptic anemones, four super-fast sea snakes, and five dreamlike jellyfish.
Gained 105 points, defense increased by two points.
I found 6 silver treasure chests and 2 wooden treasure chests.
After using the "I Only Want the Best" option, I obtained 15 ship upgrade cards, 1 weapon repair card, 6 wires, 4 batteries, 2 diesel fuels, 2 copper ingots, and 2 zinc ingots.
Mingzhao couldn't waste the remaining hour either.
She applied several cooling patches to herself, went out onto the deck, reviewed the three basic skills of Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique), and then began to study the next step of the footwork.
This footwork is extremely complex, requiring specific body posture and footwork changes for each step. Mingzhao almost twisted himself into a pretzel.
Around 10 o'clock, she finally managed to complete half of all the movements.
Mingzhao returned to the cabin, drenched in sweat, took out the chilled herbal tea, and took a big gulp.
The cool, fragrant herbal tea instantly filled her mouth, calming her wildly beating heart.
Mingzhao felt a surge of energy and blood within her body.
She opened the panel and took a look.
Health: 95/100 (Strong as a calf)
She has never been this healthy since she started staying up late in college.
After taking a shower to wash away the sweat, Mingzhao returned to his bedroom.
The outdoor temperature was 40 degrees Celsius. She turned the air conditioner to the lowest temperature and the highest fan speed to barely bring the indoor temperature down to a comfortable level.
It looks like we'll need to install another air conditioner soon.
At ten o'clock, Mingzhao was just about to go to sleep when the system announcement suddenly sounded.
[Dear players, long time no see! How was your voyage through the extreme temperatures? Did it warm your hearts? If not, no worries! This time, we're bringing you a new dungeon: Desert Treasure Hunt. In the vast ocean, there's an island entirely composed of desert—isn't that amazing? Your task is to find the treasures left behind in this desert. The dungeon starts promptly at 9:00 AM tomorrow, and registration closes at 8:00 AM tomorrow.]
Opening the specific page, the rules of this dungeon are very simple; in fact, compared to [River Rapids], this dungeon has virtually no rules.
[1. This is a free instance; players are free to move around on the island.]
2. Treasures lie hidden in every corner of the desert, but monsters may disguise themselves as treasures, so please be careful.
[3. This dungeon has a 6-hour time limit. After the time is up, rankings will be based on the treasures you possess.]
The group chat erupted in excitement once again. The rewards from the last "Rapid River Adventure" dungeon had left those who missed it envious for a long time, and this dungeon was called "Desert Treasure Hunt," which sounded like it would be full of treasures.
Furthermore, in the "Rapid River Adventure" mode, failure to return on time or meet the NPC will result in death, while the "Desert Treasure Hunt" mode has no death conditions.
Mingzhao frowned; this instance was not as friendly as its name suggested.
