Chapter 10 Desert Survival Day 3 (3) Talking about Cooperation
"A thousand years later: 'Integrity is the basis' is a liar. He used various fake and similar items to defraud my cotton. Everyone be careful."
"Parallel Lines: I was tricked by him on the first day. The messages were scrolling so fast that no one saw what I said. He then used a bottle of N liquid to trick me into giving him food. To do such a thing in the apocalypse is shameless."
"Honest people won't take the bait: To be honest, the system had anti-fraud warnings on the first day, and those who still fell for it can only blame their own stupidity."
As soon as this statement was uttered, the world was filled with criticism, but the view that "honest people won't take the blame" also received support from a small number of people, and both sides held their own views and engaged in heated discussions.
Yu Miaomiao didn't want to participate in this chat. It was really a waste of time. Anyway, everyone should have remembered the scammer's nickname.
In this cruel doomsday, there is no judge of justice. If you are cheated, you can only blame yourself for being unlucky, which gives scammers an opportunity to take advantage of you.
She remembered what her best friend had once told her: if you get beaten, you have to fight back, not only with more force, but also make sure the other person never dares to bully you again.
She collected information about people being cheated on forums and around the world, and knew that "honesty is the basis" was a casual crime, and the deception methods were varied, even depending on the situation.
And this liar is now completely invisible. No matter who scolds her, she won't respond. There are only 0 times and countless times of cheating. From this moment on, from the moment the liar cheated her, she will not let this person get away with it, no matter for other people in the future or for her own kindness at that moment.
After thinking about it, Yu Miaomiao closed the world chat and checked other information on the forum.
Yang Haotian's strategy post currently has the most collections, so it ranks first in the forum. He also keeps up with current affairs and posted "Integrity is the basis" under a separate post called "The Evil Man of the Last Days". This move of his immediately attracted a lot of people's attention.
After reading everyone's comments and new information, Yu Miaomiao roughly guessed that the half hour he waited for that person was when he was trying to cheat others for the materials. He didn't expect that this person would go to so much trouble for a bottle of water.
After closing the forum interface, Yu Miaomiao quickly adjusted his mentality. It was the end of the world. Instead of worrying about whether he was being cheated, it would be better to prepare the items to deal with tomorrow's situation in advance.
The system supported the decomposition of that bottle of disgusting liquid, and Yu Miaomiao chose to decompose it without hesitation.
[Failed to trigger the Lucky trait. Decomposed to obtain 1 plastic block and 1 bag of low-level fertilizer. The system warehouse is full, and the items have been dropped.]
Looking at the brand new small bag of fertilizer on the ground, Yu Miaomiao didn't expect that the broken stuff traded by the scammer could actually be decomposed into this thing.
However, this gave her a new piece of information: it can be planted in this doomsday, otherwise the system would not give her a useless thing for no reason.
Yu Miaomiao originally planned to use a backpack expander, but after thinking about it, he decided to use the only remaining one as a finished product to avoid the mortgage hassle.
There was only food in the backpack, and Yu Miaomiao was a little hungry. She was about to take out the rice with fried pork and chili peppers when she saw the description of the rice.
【Name：Chili Fried Pork Rice (1/1)
Level: 4
Description: A delicious home-cooked dish with peppers and pork as the main ingredients, served with rice, which is both delicious and convenient;
Function: Consuming one will restore all lost physical strength and increase overall strength by 1 point.
The steamed buns are at level 1 and the spicy chicken wings are at level 3. Their function columns only say that they can replenish lost physical strength, but do not mention that they can increase the total physical strength.
When eating the hamburgers, Yu Miaomiao didn't pay attention to the food level, but after eating two hamburgers, his total physical strength increased by 2 points. According to the description of the level 4 rice bowl in the backpack, the hamburgers were probably also level 4 food.
So she can understand that only by eating food above level 4 can the overall strength be increased.
Yu Miaomiao thought that she should be more careful next time she got food, so as not to accidentally exchange food above level 4.
Sitting on the mat, she felt a little cool, so she took out the rice bowl from her system backpack.
The lunch box was taken out, and the food inside was still steaming. The system came with a pair of chopsticks and a spoon attached to the side of the lunch box.
Yu Miaomiao likes spicy food, and this bowl of rice seems to be designed to cater to the public's taste. It is slightly spicy and tastes very delicious. The green peppers have a sweet taste. She ate up the whole box of rice.
After licking the remaining oil fragrance on the corner of her mouth, Yu Miaomiao put the square box aside and prepared to keep it for other uses. The next second, the lunch box disappeared out of thin air. It seemed that the system really didn't give her any more.
I took a look at my personal panel and found that my physical strength was not only restored to full, but also increased by 1 point.
There is less than a day left before the end of the novice protection period. If Yu Miaomiao only makes primary traps, she can make 14 at most.
But if she wanted to keep the materials for reinforcing the wooden house, she could only make 10 basic traps, and the remaining materials were still missing 8 pieces of nylon cloth and 3 pieces of scrap iron.
However, she did not have enough materials to make nylon. Every material she had was hard-earned, and she did not want to exchange them. It seemed that OEM was the only option.
After thinking about it, Yu Miaomiao continued to spread the information about OEM primary backpack expanders in the world.
Soon a new message was received.
"Hua Bie: Hello, I'd like to ask you to make a basic backpack expander. Is the manufacturing fee [Turtle Breathing Skill] acceptable?"
[Name: Turtle Breathing Skill Secrets (1/1)
Level: Level 5 (initial level)
Introduction: After using it, you will learn the tortoise breathing technique.
Attributes:
Turtle breathing technique?
Level 5 is just the initial level?
Although she didn't know what the use of learning this skill was, she felt it was worth it as a labor fee.
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Yes, if you have the materials, trade now."
The other party quickly sent a transaction request. After carefully checking the three items, Yu Miaomiao put the remaining primary backpack expander on the transaction column.
After both parties confirmed the transaction, the entire process took less than 1 minute.
There was an image similar to a martial arts secret book in the system backpack, marked with [Turtle Breathing Technique], and Yu Miaomiao used it directly.
[System prompt: Player Miaomiao is not short of water and has unlocked the Turtle Breathing Technique.]
At the same time, there is an additional cheat icon in the lower right corner of the sight.
Could it be that she has unlocked the hidden function of the doomsday game system?
After the consciousness opened the cheat icon, there was a picture of a little man meditating, with the words "Turtle Breathing Technique" written next to it.
After clicking it, there is a set of martial arts secret manuals with pictures and texts.
This... There is such a thing in the end times. Could it be that there is also a cultivation plot?
Look at move one and concentrate.
[Concentrating the mind is to regulate the mind. This method is the preparatory method for the Turtle Breathing Exercise... The point of true breath at the navel flows in and out quietly, and it cannot be moved. At this point, the first step of the exercise is completed.]
Below this long string of text, there are various little people pictures, and the instructions are detailed, including how to exhale and every movement.
Although she really wanted to try out the effect of this technique, after a quick flip through, she found that it had at least several hundred pages and it would not be something she could learn in a short time. What was more important right now was to deal with tomorrow.
Yu Miaomiao walked back to the workbench and received a new message when she was about to make another backpack expander.
When I opened it, it turned out to be an old acquaintance - 'Pipi'.
"Is Pipi here? Hello, nice to meet you again. How much is the manufacturing fee for the entry-level backpack expander?"
"Miaomiao is not short of water: The best labor costs are nylon cloth and scrap iron. If you don't have that, plastic blocks, linen, rubber, and fiber are also acceptable."
As time goes by, Yu Miaomiao now wants materials even more.
"Is Pipi here? I have some scrap metal, but not much. Is this all you're going to charge for the work?"
"Meow Meow is not short of water: What can you exchange?"
"Is Pipi here? We have linen, rubber, and fiber, but not much. If there's anything good, it's a technical blueprint [drilling kit].
Drilling kit?
How could there be such a thing?
Yu Miaomiao clicked on the item description.
【Name: Drilling Kit (1/1)
Level: 7
Introduction: Learn the production process of drilling kit after use
Attributes:
Level 7, this level is too high. The name of this item seems very practical, and Yu Miaomiao is a little tempted.
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Can you really drill a well to get water in a place like this?"
"Is Pipi here? I don't know. I didn't want to learn it because the level was too high. I wanted to keep it to exchange for good stuff. I used to have other materials, but a swindler cheated me out of some of them. Now this is all I have left."
"Meow Meow is Not Short of Water: That liar is called 'Integrity is the basis'?"
"Is Pipi here? You've seen what people are saying. Oh, it's all my fault for being too naive. My classmates don't blame me, but I feel really guilty."
Yu Miaomiao didn't know if it was because the transactions with him had been too smooth before, which caused both of them to reduce their vigilance. Now they felt a little bit sympathetic.
"Meow Meow: From what you said, you don't have enough materials to make a basic backpack expander."
"Is Pipi here? I only have enough materials to make one, and my classmates and I had to scrape together this."
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Honestly, I don't want to cheat you in this apocalypse. If I only make one, I won't charge you so much for the materials."
"Is Pipi here? So I want to discuss cooperation with you using the technical drawings of the drilling kit."
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Cooperation?"
"Is Pipi here?: Yes, I see you unlocked the workbench a long time ago, and since then you've only needed materials to exchange for supplies. You must have unlocked quite a few crafting techniques."
"Meow Meow is not short of water: let's get to the point."
If someone else had said this, Yu Miaomiao would definitely not have replied, but after several transactions and conversations, she knew that this person called "Pipi" was just talkative, and it didn't seem like he had any bad intentions.
"Is Pipi here? There are twenty-eight of us classmates who have come to this apocalyptic world. I'd like to use this drilling kit blueprint as payment for the production of twenty-eight backpack expanders. I also hope that we can share the crafting of the workbench in the future."
"Meow Meow is Not Short of Water: What is Shared Craftsmanship?"
"Whether Pipi is here or not: it means that both parties share existing processes that they are willing to make public. If there is something that both parties need, they can exchange one OEM for another OEM."
"Meow Meow is not short of water: It sounds good, but when I think about it, it's a bit unfair to me."
"Is Pipi here? Huh?"
"Meow Meow: Let's not talk about what this drilling kit can actually produce. Think about it, you have many classmates and a lot of materials, but I'm just one person. So, you'll definitely always be able to ask me to make what you want. Even if I need you to do some OEM work for me, I'm sure I won't have as much materials as you. If that happens, I'll have to do it all for you, and you'll always owe me money. Otherwise, it'll be hard to achieve cooperation."
