Chapter 6 Running in High Heels
This time, the other party was quite straightforward and sent it to her directly.
Su Tinglu accepted it without hesitation.
The river flows eastward: [Want to add me as a friend?]
Su Tinglu: [Hmm]
After the two became friends, Su Tinglu sent him the crafting instructions for her torch and the basic items.
The other party did not reply for a long time.
Su Tinglu guessed that the other party must have gone to conduct experiments.
Just as she was about to turn off the chat window, the other party sent her a message.
The river flows eastward: [I haven't revealed the method for making flint and steel.]
Su Tinglu was slightly taken aback.
After a few seconds, she replied: [Whatever]
Her little face was expressionless.
She also remembered what the game system said: when the number of players drops to a certain level, the system will issue an announcement.
But if you think about it for a second, you'll know it's not a good thing.
Moreover, she discovered that each player's sea area was independent, and no matter how they sailed, they would not encounter anyone else.
This means there is no threat, resources will not be shared, and everything depends on luck.
Moreover, these production methods will eventually be known to everyone, so instead of monopolizing them, it's better to think about how to use information asymmetry to exchange for resources.
Be among the first to stand at the forefront of the times.
In this world of survival, one neither panders to men nor women, but only to the strong.
She put the supplies away, opened the "Manufacturing" page, and found that many items had appeared there.
Her current supplies include 2 iron ore, 105 wood, 103 stone, 1 seawater filter, 1 hell chest, and half a bottle of purified water.
It should already surpass most survivors.
The seawater filter had already started producing water, so she wasn't short of water. Therefore, Su Tinglu hung the half-bottle of purified water that the other party had given her in the trading hall, exchanging it for two cloud breads.
The page also displays item icons for "Stone Axe, Stone Shovel, Stone Pickaxe, Stone Hoe, Stone Sickle, Stone Watering Can, Stone Sword, Low-level Fishing Net, Refined Fishing Rod, Furnace, and Workbench," with a prompt next to each item icon.
"The stone axe requires five stones and five pieces of wood. It can be used to split a coconut, so you must make it."
“Stone hoe... Some resilient crops can be planted on the beach, but there are no seeds yet. We can leave some basic materials for it.”
"Apart from the sickle, everything else can be made, but let's take a look at the materials needed for the tools first."
"Low-level fishing net requires 1 iron ore and 3 wood."
"To refine a fishing rod, you need 1 piece of iron ore and 5 pieces of wood."
"A furnace requires 1 iron ore, 5 wood, and 10 stone."
"Tool table, requires 1 iron ore and 10 wood."
It seems iron ore has a wide range of uses...
A workbench is definitely going to be made, as for the furnace... she'll have to think about it. Right now, she's set her sights on refining fishing rods.
A small iron mine has appeared where the river flows eastward; perhaps we could trade with it.
She immediately opened the page.
She already had 99+ private messages, but she didn't have time to check them, so she opened her friend list directly.
The river flows eastward and sent her many messages: 【What do you mean by "whatever"? Bro, are you angry?】
Thanks, bro! The character panel really does have a crafting option for basic tools. I already have a stone pickaxe.
[Mining is so much easier now that I have a manuscript. This mine is so dark, and there are strange noises inside.]
No, it's dangerous inside. We need to make offensive weapons!
[The other party has gifted you 3 iron ore. Do you wish to accept it?]
"Take it."
Is there danger, and is it necessary to manufacture offensive weapons?
It seems that danger exists not only at sea, but also in other places.
Iron ore: A mineral with a wide range of uses; it can be used to make various items.
Su Tinglu has now made a decision. She has crafted six basic tools in addition to the sickle, as well as a furnace, a workbench, and a refined fishing rod.
Su Tinglu replied: [I'm not angry. You can decide whether to sell or keep the production method. I'll accept the iron ore and exchange it for other resources.]
She glanced at the 99+ private messages and found that several people were offering reasonable prices, so she immediately clicked to make a deal.
[Received 4 Cloud Breads, 1 Mineral Water, 10 Wood, and 10 Stones]
She scrolled down again and found one message that stood out.
It's not for any other reason than that this player's profile picture stands out as exceptionally fresh and unique among the many handsome photos of male gods on the internet.
...A red high heel stepping on a stone, with an outrageously ugly dragon rage meme next to it.
She clicked on it.
Running High Heels: [Dude, I'm dying of thirst! I have a secret to tell you, could you give me some water?]
Perhaps the other party was getting anxious because Su Tinglu hadn't replied.
I'm really not a scammer. If you're willing to give me water, I'm willing to do anything for you...
Cough, cough, I'm serious, sigh, looks like fate is against me...
What a cringeworthy statement.
Su Tinglu didn't really want to respond and was about to exit the chat when the other party started bombarding her with messages again.
I don't need half a bottle of water, I just need 100ml, really, it's an emergency! I know a secret, if you tell me, I'll not only tell you the secret, but I'll also give you all the messages in bottles I find in the future.
Su Tinglu hesitated.
Exchange 100ml of water for a secret – a sure win!
But just to be on the safe side, Su Tinglu still opened the chat lobby.
The number of players has dropped to seven thousand, but there are still quite a few active people in the chat lobby.
She saw a familiar ID.
That is, the high heels that just asked me for help.
Su Tinglu: ...
Running High Heels: [Is anyone there to help me? If you give me 100ml of water, I'll tell you a secret.]
Running High Heels: [Is anyone there to help me? If you give me 100ml of water, I'll tell you a secret.]
She was practically spamming the screen, and some people were getting impatient.
[Seriously, how come there are online beggars in the survival world? Everyone's short on supplies right now. Don't think 100ml is a small amount; many people can't even afford it.]
[Internet beggars, get out of here]
[Is there anyone who can help me? If you give me just 100ml of water, I'll tell you a secret.]
Running High Heels: [Bro, don't mimic me, I really need water!]
[Don't believe it, everyone. This person was just begging me in a private message, and now they're in the chat lobby.]
I also received her message; if everyone gave her 100ml of water, she might drink herself into gigantism.
Some people who wanted to make a deal immediately changed their minds.
Yes, if you ask everyone for 100ml, they'd all become giants!
Upon hearing this, the running high heels fell silent.
On an island, a woman lies on the ground, her face deathly pale.
She really didn't mean that!
She just wanted water...
Xu Meigui was utterly desperate.
The pitch-black night enveloped her, and she could feel her breath being drawn away little by little.
If she closes her eyes, she will truly disappear from this world.
