Chapter 7 Desert Survival Day 2 (5) Strange Lulu...
"Is Pipi here? Excuse me, my classmate said it takes three wooden sticks to exchange for one piece of cotton."
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Could you please help me ask again, can I exchange two wooden sticks for one ball of cotton? If so, I only want three."
This was part of Miaomiao's plan. It would be strange if the other party agreed to her offer.
"Is Pipi here? Okay, I'll ask."
Yu Miaomiao didn't like to trouble others, but this was the end of the world, so she had to trouble others. She had to secretly remember that she would provide some help when Pippi needed it.
The fact that 'Pipi' took so long to reply to her must have been because he had helped her negotiate for a long time, and Yu Miaomiao had a better impression of him.
Yu Miaomiao had just finished rubbing the wooden strips on the workbench when 'Pipi' sent her a trade request with three pieces of cotton on it. Unexpectedly, the other party agreed quite quickly.
After the transaction was successful, Yu Miaomiao couldn't wait to make a fire.
After the campfire is synthesized, a campfire pattern will appear in the backpack grid.
It was almost evening now, the scorching sun was cast into a shadow, and the heat had mostly dissipated. Yu Miaomiao planned to wait until dark before lighting the fire.
The little red dot appeared in the system chat box again. I clicked it and saw that it was a message from 'Pipi'.
"Is Pipi here? Did Lulu trade you the blueprint for water?"
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Yes, what's wrong?"
"Is Pipi here? Hey, this blueprint was left to her by another classmate to save her life, but I didn't expect she would use it anyway."
"Meow meow is not short of water: changing the water is to save your life."
"Is Pipi here? She did change the water, but she gave all the water she changed to her brother."
There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with giving the life-saving water to her brother, but Yu Miaomiao is not sure what to say.
"Is Pipi here? Her brother already has water, but he's worried that he won't be able to open it tomorrow, so he asked her to get him some more today."
Yu Miaomiao discovered that this 'Pipi' must be very boring. No one complained about it, so they talked about it with her. Before she replied, 'Pipi' sent the next message.
"Is Pipi here? We all told her to stop pampering her brother now that we're in the end of the world, but she said no matter what. Her brother gave her a kidney when they were young, she has to treat him well no matter what."
"Is Pipi here? But she's not unaware of the limit. She set a limit for herself to repay the favor, 120 times. In the real world, she's already repaid 101 times, which is why she sent the number 19 when we traded that day."
What a strange girl. It's okay to repay a favor in reality, but in this doomsday, repaying a favor may cost her life.
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Did she post it on the world just for her brother to see?"
"Is Pipi here? Yes, she and her brother said so, but we all think her brother didn't take it seriously at all, or maybe her brother felt that since he had used Lulu enough in the apocalypse, her death would have nothing to do with him."
Yu Miaomiao was silent. She didn't know what the relationship between other people's families was like, but at least she and Yue Yina must have an unbreakable friendship.
"Is Pipi here? Hey, sorry for talking too much. My classmates are also quite speechless about her. I lost control of my emotions and complained to you. By the way, how's your fire going?"
"Meow Meow is not short of water: I want to wait until night time to order."
"Is Pipi here? Yeah, it's still pretty hot. I read somewhere that some people, without a house or bed, can barely get through the cold on the first night by relying on a fire."
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Shouldn't you make two items first to unlock the next stage of the synthesis guide?"
"Is Pipi here? That's right. I guess someone took the fire out for a trade."
As expected, there is a lot of useful information on the world channel, and someone is already doing the OEM work. She plans to try the effect of the stone pickaxe today, and then take on the job after someone else has mastered the craft tomorrow.
As evening approached, the temperature dropped little by little. Yu Miaomiao took out a stone pickaxe and chiseled the ground five meters away a few times.
A small pit was quickly dug out, but there was nothing but soil underneath it. Where were the other resources?
Could it be that her only misfortune was that she was just like some people who had fallen into a poor resource point?
Yu Miaomiao, feeling a little disappointed, moved the fire in her bag to the ground in front of the door when the sun sank into the horizon, and a blazing fire started.
The temperature around her, which had dropped, was instantly raised. She moved a single chair and sat next to the fire, checking the properties of the fire through the holographic image.
[Name: Primary Fire (100/100)
Level: 2
Function: Keeps you warm in a cold environment; slow fire can cook food
Attribute: Beast resistance 50 points]
'Beast resistance' is very intriguing. The system has informed that small beasts will appear on the fourth night. This campfire should be used to resist such small beasts.
The system notification sound follows.
[System Notice: Congratulations to player Miaomiao for not lacking water and completing the novice task (2)]
【System notification: You have unlocked the forum function. 】
forum?
Sure enough, when Miaomiao expanded the system interface, she saw the [Forum] column in the upper right corner.
But since this is something only Yu Miaomiao can hear, there is no need to congratulate her.
After opening it, ten posts already appeared on it.
It seems that someone has unlocked the forum function earlier than her.
The first post is about [Newbie Guide].
The poster was Yang Haotian, the one who helped everyone to comfort themselves yesterday.
The following are exchange posts.
Yu Miaomiao clicked on this [Newbie Guide]
He has answered some of the questions and doubts that newcomers may face, and wrote at the end, "Continuously update, I recommend you to collect it."
There is indeed a [Favorites] button on the post, and there is also a [Favorites] in the forum interface, but it makes her feel a little strange that Yang Haotian started to make this kind of strategy post so early.
Yu Miaomiao looked at the remaining exchange materials, but there was nothing that interested her. They were all related to food and basic materials. She guessed that it would become lively once more people unlocked them.
The advantage of using the forum is that it has a search function, which is much more convenient than reading batches of world chats one by one.
After making the primary fire pit, primitive workbench and simple repair table, the system synthesis guide has four more synthesis formulas.
[Thin rope*1+wood*2=primary trap
Scrap iron block*4 + copper block*2 + screws*16 = primary storage box
Scrap iron*5 + wood*16 + screws*8 + nylon cloth*10 = cabin reinforcement device
Scrap iron*3+screws*4=simple barbecue grill]
Judging from the latest synthesis guide displayed by the system, the next small beast that appears will most likely attack the house where they live.
Therefore, before the end of the novice period, she had to prepare at least some basic traps and ensure that there were enough materials to reinforce the wooden house.
Looking at the pickaxe in her hand, Yu Miaomiao prepared to continue digging. Her intuition told her that there must be something different nearby.
Just as I was about to turn off the holographic image, I saw a new red dot appear in the chat box.
"Is Pipi here? Is he here? Could you help me with some of the fires?"
"Meow meow is not short of water: some?"
"Is Pipi here? The temperature is colder today than yesterday. Some of my classmates have only made beds, and I'm worried it will be very cold tonight. Is the fee for making three fire pits one ball of cotton okay?"
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Sure, how many do you want to make?"
"Is Pipi here? 18."
"Meow Meow is not short of water: ...Do you have many classmates?"
"Is Pipi here? Almost all of our classmates are here."
That’s really a lot.
However, in the last days, the more people you know, the more care you can get, so Yu Miaomiao agreed.
Not long after, the other party sold all the items to her, including the processing fee.
No, does this 'Pipi' trust her so much? Isn't he afraid that she will disappear after taking the things? Anyway, he won't be able to contact her tomorrow.
It was very quick to make a bonfire, it only took eighteen clicks, but by the time Yu Miaomiao had made ten, all eighteen bonfires were ready.
This lucky trait allowed her to accumulate materials for eight campfires.
Oh no, there is an additional processing fee of 6 cottons, so she doesn’t have to worry about the fire going out in the short term.
After the transaction was completed, 'Pipi' said thank you several times.
After Yu Miaomiao replied "You're welcome", she continued to pick up the pickaxe and reclaim the wasteland.
After digging for about twenty minutes, she dug a hole about half a meter wide and ten centimeters in the ground, but there was still nothing in it.
Yu Miaomiao gave up completely. She collapsed on the ground, sweating from exhaustion. She shivered with cold in the evening breeze.
As her stomach growled, Yu Miaomiao glanced at her personal panel and saw that her physical strength had dropped to 15. She then realized that she was very hungry. She hurriedly took out a white steamed bun and started to eat it.
I watched my stamina recover little by little until it reached 32 again, and I also finished eating two steamed buns.
Normally, she had a small appetite, and one of these big white steamed buns would be enough for her in the real world. She didn't know if it was because she had just wasted a lot of energy digging for a long time, or if her appetite had increased after coming here, but after eating two, she just felt that it was enough.
After recovering, Yu Miaomiao realized that even sitting next to the fire, his body felt a little cold. He looked at the properties of the fire and found that its durability had dropped from 100 to 63.
There was no place to put the fire in the small wooden house, so she could only let it die out naturally. Just as she was about to go back to the house, she saw the red dot appear in the chat box again.
"Is Pipi there? Is he there? Sorry to bother you so late, could you please make five more stone pickaxes? I'm afraid I won't be able to contact you after midnight. The fee is five screws, and it's still one stone for one piece of string, okay?"
Thinking that the blueprint also belonged to him, Yu Miaomiao replied without thinking.
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Okay, but if you shout it out in the world tomorrow, I'll see your message. Please trade the materials. It's still early, I'll do it for you."
"Is Pipi here? Okay, thank you."
The fire outside was still burning, and Yu Miaomiao didn't want to waste it, so she had to find something to do during the long night.
