Chapter 36: Desert Survival Day 7 (2) The Great Joy of Automatic...
"Is Ziren here? Not really. Lulu has strong self-discipline. She said she'd repay a favor 120 times, and that's it. Last time, her brother asked her for something as usual and didn't get it, so he threatened to expose us online. We've been annoyed with her brother for a long time, so of course we didn't get her to agree. We never expected her brother to actually do it, and even scolded you. She blamed herself for it for a long time."
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Is she still in contact with her brother?"
"Is Ziren here? I don't know."
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Do you have any extra linen to exchange?"
"Is Ziren here? Yueyue and Api have used up all the linen today. Tomorrow, Yueyue should be able to find something like this again."
During the day, the airy clothes were quite cool. Yu Miaomiao thought about finishing the items first, and then seeing if she should go outside to exchange some linen to make clothes.
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Okay, I'll go make toilet paper first."
Yu Miaomiao sits in front of the workbench and can start making toilet paper by standing up.
"drop."
The message prompt sound came.
"Is Pipi here? Sister Miaomiao, I heard you're going to make toilet paper for us for free. I love you so much. I'll give you some toilet paper ingredients. Could you please make another for Lulu?"
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Doesn't she need it?"
"Is Pipi here? That idiot Ziren doesn't understand these things. Back in school, Lulu was the one who cared the most about cleanliness. She was embarrassed to ask you to do it for free, so she said she didn't need it."
"Meow Meow is not short of water: I'm sorry, how can our classmate Api have the nerve to come and rub my hands?"
"Is Pipi here? Hey, Sister Miaomiao is beautiful and kind-hearted. I'm a die-hard fan of hers. Whatever materials you need today, I'll definitely help you negotiate."
Normally, Pipi negotiates the outsourcing orders, which are usually based on Yu Miaomiao's needs, so Yu Miaomiao can get the necessary materials together more quickly.
"Meow Meow is not short of water: You are the best at saying nice things. Now that you have said this, how can I not do it? You have already helped me collect the materials for the first cooperation item, the cabin reinforcement. Next, you can collect your own materials first."
In fact, in a strict sense, the synthesis of this item was not entirely dependent on them. The screws and wood were basically all made by Yu Miaomiao herself. After all, these were basic materials, so she didn't care about them.
After the two completed the transaction, looking at the extra stone, Yu Miaomiao knew that Pipi probably still didn't have wood, so he used stone instead. This was also the customary transaction method agreed upon by the two.
But Pipi is so short of wood, how can he complete the upgrade of the cabin by then?
"Is Pipi here? It's okay. More than a dozen of our classmates have gone off to join the Tiandihui. Now it's just me, Ziren, Yueyue, and Xiaozhi who are keeping each other company, while Lulu is fighting alone. So we can negotiate the cost of the materials for the production now."
Yu Miaomiao remembered that Pippi said at that time that 28 of their classmates had come here, but unexpectedly most of them went to follow Yang Haotian.
What materials do I need now?
Yu Miaomiao looked at the system synthesis guide in the holographic image, which unlocked new item synthesis.
[Wood*36+Screw*38=Large Wooden House
Wood*30+Screws*30 = Small cabin upgraded to large cabin
Copper ingot*2 + high-quality sand*150 + carbon fiber*10 + iron ingot*8 = automatic small turret
Linen*1 + High-quality Sand*10 + Stone*1 + Wood*1 = Sandbag
Scrap iron block*7 + wood*1 + screws*7 + copper block*3 = heater]
There is still a line of words below the synthesized item.
After completing all item synthesis, you can unlock new item synthesis formulas and system functions. *Note: You only need to complete one of the 'Large Cabin' and 'Small Cabin Upgrade to a Large Cabin'.
Before, Yu Miaomiao thought that the cabin was too small and too flimsy, and how could it possibly withstand the attacks of wild beasts. Now the system has actually come up with a synthesis plan for upgrading the cabin.
Not to mention the heater for now, she didn't expect that the set would come with an automatic small turret and sandbags.
The description behind the automatic small turret synthesis button is simply delightful: "The automatic small turret can automatically aim and fire at any non-friendly creature and can only be installed in your own buildings."
Seeing the first line of words is simply delightful, coupled with the sandbag, "Sandbags can slow down or trip wild animals, and have a certain effect in preventing external enemies."
Yu Miaomiao could imagine how easy it would be to slow down the beasts with sandbags and then shoot them with automatic turrets.
But she soon thought of a problem. When she killed the beast with a trap in the morning, she only harvested meat but no mucus. So what about the beasts shot by the automatic small turret? Would there also be only meat?
But since she unlocked the new feature - the auction house, she deeply realized that in this doomsday, slime is the most important item.
If she simply relied on turrets and bartering with others, plus daily card draws for supplies, would she be able to live safely?
Looking at the gravel on the ground outside the house, which has been slowly covered by some residual sand, how could the end of the world allow these survivors to live in peace?
She walked around the workbench and was able to collect some high-quality sand. You know, she had walked around the area within a kilometer and didn't find any sand. So where did this sand come from?
Of course, it was sent by this apocalypse, which means that what these survivors had experienced before was not real desert survival.
Yu Miaomiao estimated that from the tenth day onwards, which was the start of normal mode, it would be a real desert survival, and it would not be surprising if a sandstorm occurred at that time.
Can her flimsy little cabin withstand it?
cannot.
What about the upgraded cabin?
Yu Miaomiao felt it was quite tough.
So she still had to rely on herself to kill more beasts, obtain mucus, and thus get more resources.
But she still had to make the automatic turret. After all, she couldn't fight all night long. In order to get a good sleep in the second half of the night, this kind of automatic defense item was still necessary.
Besides, it can unlock new functions. She wants to see what new functions this doomsday system can come up with.
After thinking about it, Yu Miaomiao sent a new message to Pipi.
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Mr. Api, I need copper ingots, carbon fiber and scrap iron."
"Is Pipi here? Okay, carbon fiber can be made by burning wood, and copper ingots can be smelted from copper ore. If you have ready-made items and need them urgently, you can ask Xiaozhi; he has a furnace."
"Meowth is not short of water: Okay, I'll go ask Xiaozhi about the carbon fiber. I don't have enough copper ore raw materials. Can you help me negotiate more? Sorry for the trouble."
"Is Pipi here? You're welcome. Could you please tell me what you're making? It sounds like it requires a lot of ingredients."
What Yu Miaomiao was going to do was all the synthesis plans given in the synthesis guide by the system, and there was nothing she couldn't say.
"Meow Meow is not short of water: I unlocked a new system synthesis guide, which contains the synthesis schemes for upgrading a small cabin to a large cabin, automatic small turrets, sandbags and heaters. I want to make these."
This was also what Yu Miaomiao and Pipi had agreed upon yesterday. From now on, when she and Pipi's four classmates outsource materials, it doesn't matter whether they are materials needed for the workbench or for system synthesis. When Pipi negotiates the price, she will collect the needs of the five people and if the needs overlap, they will split it in half.
"Is Pipi here? Wow, Sister Meow Meow, you've already completed all the items in the system synthesis guide. I'm really curious about what the new features of the system are."
"Meow Meow is not short of water: the new feature is the auction house, and the currency used for selling and buying is slime."
"Is Pipi here? Just as I suspected, when the 'Sell' button appeared on the system, I wondered where these items could be sold and what I could get for them. It couldn't possibly be soft currency. Ancient times used gold and silver as currency, so what would be hard currency in the apocalypse? Besides food and water, it's the slime from killing beasts. The system played its cards right."
"Meow Meow is not short of water: But the 'sell' we saw at the beginning has not yet been connected to the existing auction house. It is probably a future function."
"Is Pipi here? Yeah, this place, you call it a game, and it is. Various features are slowly revealed one by one, and the unlocking process is just like playing a game. Not a lot is unlocked at the beginning, allowing players to slowly explore. But now, who can still calmly call the world we live in a game? It's a real apocalypse."
"Meow Meow: Yeah, and with this world's currency standard, slime will become increasingly useful, just like real-world money. Killing beasts with basic traps doesn't yield slime, and I assume the same goes for the new automatic turrets. So, to obtain more resources, you still have to improve your combat abilities and supplies."
"Is Pipi here? Even if they give, I don't think they'll give much. I set two mid-level traps, and I was quick to deal with one, so I got 1 slime. But with the other, I just walked over a little slower and got nothing. So passively getting slime is difficult."
In other words, the higher the level of the item, the more likely you are to get more supplies.
"Meow Meow: Yeah, by the way, do you remember that after 10 days, the apocalypse survival mode will return to normal? I guess the big wooden house is prepared for that time. Upgrading the big wooden house requires 30 pieces of wood. You can exchange more in the next few days."
"Is Pipi here? Okay, thank you, Sister Miaomiao. That's what I was planning too. I also need to finish the items in the system synthesis as soon as possible so that I can catch up with the main group."
"Miaomiao is not short of water: Well, tell me when you have received the order. If you haven't replied yet, just stay at the workbench. I'm going to make toilet paper first."
After communicating with Pipi, Yu Miaomiao exchanged 3 parts of wood for 30 parts of carbon fiber.
Yu Miaomiao rubbed her hands and prepared to start working when the message sound came again. She wondered if Pipi had already negotiated a deal so quickly.
"Hanabetsu: Are you there? Can you make me three spears and five sets of arrows?"
Huh? This person is still exploring. Could it be possible that they ran out of weapons so quickly?
"Hanabie: If you can help me make it now, in addition to returning the materials to you later, I will give you two-fifths of the supplies from this expedition."
The two of them had previously agreed on one-fifth, which was earned by Yu Miaomiao after working hard for an entire afternoon. Today, Hua Bie suddenly increased the share to two-fifths. Could it be that he didn't get anything good, so he was willing to divide it like this? Then wouldn't her hard work for an entire afternoon be in vain?
Miaomiao didn’t think too much about it, Huabie immediately sent the third sentence.
