Ice Season: Day 33 at Sea
Although she had no experience, Yun Mianmian bought a book.
She could learn after reading it, which was a benefit for players in the game.
As long as it was a systematic book, she could understand what she didn't know before, no matter how smart she was.
There were a lot of things needed to build a greenhouse.
Yun Mianmian had to do them one by one.
She wanted to find someone to help.
In fact, she could ask Nie Yangguang and Hu Yuan, but they were probably very busy.
Yun Mianmian just wanted to save time and wouldn't give much benefit. After all, these were small things that could be done as long as there was a workbench.
Or she could ask on the forum if there were any players with a workbench willing to take orders.
Yun Mianmian was like a contractor, assigning the work under her to others and then paying them some wages.
Yun Mianmian thought about it carefully and felt that this was really feasible.
She would have more and more things to do in the future, and the workload was huge. It was impossible for
her to make every part one by one by herself. It would be a waste of time. It would be better to hand it over to others in batches to save time and effort.
Most players are still quite bored on the ship. There is nothing to do except fishing for treasure chests.
Many players even said that lying down is too boring and they miss their working life.
Then Yun Mianmian will provide them with a job.
She first measured the size of the greenhouse and calculated the approximate materials to be used.
The foundation needs to be made of bricks and soil, and it also needs a wooden frame and more than fifty pieces of processed thick glass.
Ordinary glass is fragments. To synthesize large pieces of thick glass, it must be processed on a workbench.
One piece of glass requires 2-5 pieces of glass, and it has to be adjusted according to Yun Mianmian's needs.
In addition, Yun Mianmian also has to make a door, four exhaust fans, and various movable scaffolding to place seeds.
Some things require a high-level workbench, and Yun Mianmian can only do it herself.
So she plans to hand over the work of glass processing and making wooden frames to others. She
will do the glass door and foundation work herself.
Yun Mianmian opened the forum and prepared to post.
The title is very simple.
#As long as you have a workbench, you can get an easy job with a high salary paid daily. #
: The materials are provided by me. As long as the player has a workbench and makes the items I need according to my requirements, he can get a reward.
The lowest is an iron block, and the higher ones can get iron ore or better materials.
And the more you do, the more compensation you get. When the workload reaches a certain amount, you can get food compensation.
Of course, this food is just an ingredient, not cooked.
If you are interested, you can leave a message to introduce yourself, and I will chat privately with the suitable ones.
Yun Mianmian doesn't want hundreds or thousands of people to come to her, it's too troublesome.
Let these applicants write their resumes under the post, and she will screen them first.
As soon as the post was sent out, many people left messages.
Yun Mianmian doesn't even need to advertise on the chat channel.
The players who applied below introduced themselves one after another.
1: I have a basic workbench, and I have learned cooking skills. Just give me some food.
2: Basic workbench, sewing table, sewing skills, I just want to earn some glass to upgrade.
3: Boss Yunmianmian, I am your fan. I have a primary workbench! Alchemy table! Choose me, choose me.
4: I also have an intermediate workbench... I can basically make anything. I don't ask for much. I just want to have a taste of the food made by Boss Mianmian.
...
Yunmianmian looked around and found that there were very few players with intermediate workbenches.
Having an intermediate workbench means that the things he makes will be of better quality, and he can make more things.
Yunmianmian will of course give priority to players with intermediate workbenches. For example, things like water pumps and sinks should not be made by primary workbenches.
But some things can be made by primary workbenches, such as wooden racks. After all, this is simple, and she needs a lot.
It was already dark today, and Yun Mianmian decided to select the people first and let them start working early tomorrow morning.
Because she still has a lot of things to do tomorrow morning, she won't have time to explain the work to them, so it's better to explain it clearly now.
She found five people in total, two of whom had intermediate workbenches, and the other three had elementary workbenches.
Yun Mianmian assigned tasks to them and customized the remuneration conditions according to their requirements. They
were charged by piecework, and they were paid according to the amount they completed.
There was a player whose name looked familiar to Yun Mianmian.
Later, she remembered that she had seen her on the leaderboard before.
She was the eighth on the rating list - Zhao Fuyun.
She had an intermediate workbench and had learned the gathering skill.
Yun Mianmian gave her the task of making thick glass.
There are 30 pieces of glass in total, of varying sizes, and the total reward is 10 pieces of glass and 10 pieces of plastic.
If it is completed within one day, two pieces of venison will be given as a gift.
This is the condition they have agreed on.
After both parties agree, an agreement will be generated in the system, and no one can breach the contract, otherwise the system will impose a mandatory penalty and make the breacher pay for the materials.
The work has just been handed over.
Yun Mianmian received a message from Rong Yu.
Rong Yu: "It has been optimized in part, do you want to see it?"
It is her horizontal sword!
Yun Mianmian: "Of course."
Rong Yu added a gorgeous handle to the basic Tang Dynasty horizontal sword and made a scabbard.
The handle and scabbard are both black, but they are not low-key, but very gorgeous.
The hilt is wrapped with silk and silver wire, and a ruby is inlaid in the middle. Although I don't know whether the ruby is real or fake, it looks pretty good, very elegant, like a precious sword used by ancient nobles.
The scabbard is made of complex patterns, which is Yun Mianmian's request to make auspicious clouds and phoenix patterns, which is very beautiful.
The blade has not changed much, but it looks sharper, probably because Rong Yu polished it again.
Yun Mianmian: "Wow, did you give me this ruby?"
Rong Yu: "No, I'll charge you for it. If you don't want it, I'll take it off."
Yun Mianmian: "! No way, how did you become so stingy?"
Rong Yu: "I learned it from you."
Yun Mianmian: "..."
"I won't let you be like this."
Rong Yu: "It's okay."
Yun Mianmian: "I admit that I'm stingy, but you can't be a bad student."
Rong Yu ignored her.
Yun Mianmian guessed that he must be unhappy about signing the unequal agreement.
She didn't force him, it was obvious that he wanted it himself.
Yun Mianmian: "Okay, then tell me, how do I exchange this ruby?"
Rong Yu: "Ten pieces each of Parashorea chinensis, cherry, locust, white poplar, and walnut."
Okay, okay!
This guy really learned it from her.
He asked for ten pieces of such precious wood.
One ruby cannot be worth so much wood.
And who wants a ruby when they are hungry and cold now?
If it weren't for the fact that the ruby looked really good inlaid on her sword, Yun Mianmian would not have accepted it.
In the end, both of them took a step back, and Yun Mianmian agreed to give him five pieces of each wood in exchange for the ruby.
Yun Mianmian felt that he had taken advantage of her too much, so she let him make some money this time.
Otherwise, he could go to the trading center to exchange it for a gemstone ornament, which shouldn't cost much.
"How long will it take to complete?"
"Two more days."
In fact, one day would be enough, but Rong Yu wanted to stay and study the material of the sword more.
Because this basic knife was bought directly from the mall without a blueprint, he didn't know what materials were used for this knife. He could only see that it was made of Damascus steel, which had an absolutely beautiful appearance and outstanding flexibility and hardness. It was simply the favorite of knife forgers.
Before coming to the game, Rong Yu had never touched a forged knife, and had never heard of Damascus steel.
After coming here, he only saw this material in books. When he got Yun Mianmian's knife, he was so excited that he couldn't express it in words.
He must forge the best knife for himself.
Better than Yun Mianmian's!
However, he didn't know where to find this Damascus steel.
The wood he asked Yun Mianmian for just now was all the materials he planned to use to make the handle and scabbard.
He also has wood, but the variety is not that rich, so it just happens that Yun Mianmian has more.
Anyway, the ruby is found in the box, so he has little use for it. It can only be used for decoration, which is just right for Yun Mianmian's knife.
After being cheated by Yun Mianmian so many times, Rong Yu has learned his lesson and finally made a profit from Yun Mianmian.
At this time, the bell rang.
The fishing rod moved!
Yun Mianmian ran over quickly, pulled it up and saw that it was a silver treasure chest.
[Cotton × 4, wool × 5, waterproof cloth × 2, wooden barrel × 3, iron barrel × 3, goat milk × 3]
It is some practical things.
Just after pulling up one, Yun Mianmian hadn't walked far when the bell rang again, indicating that another treasure chest had arrived.
Yun Mianmian turned around and pulled up another silver treasure chest.
Yun Mianmian continued to open.
[Obtained blueberry jam × 2, cantaloupe × 1, a pound of cherries, a pound of longans, and a pound of mangoes]
Wow.
There are so many fruits this time!
She had run out of fruit reserves, and the fruits she planted were frozen to death before they could bear fruit. Now she finally got fruits out of the treasure chest.
Most of them are tropical fruits! Sweet.
She likes them the most.
Yun Mianmian washed a few cherries, took some longans, added a mango, put them on a plate, and paired them with a coconut. She sat in the bedroom and ate while looking at the sea view.
Although it was pitch black and she couldn't see anything, she felt peaceful listening to the sound of the sea.
She remembered that she hadn't finished reading a book yet - "The Complete Guide to Winemaking",
after reading it, she would be able to make wine.
Although there are no grapes yet.
But since so many fruits have arrived, grapes shouldn't be far away.
After eating, her mood became happy.
She kept all the fruit cores she had eaten and would plant them after the greenhouse was ready.
She also put the other fruits into her backpack to eat slowly.
Overall, today was pretty good, and it was indeed a blessing in disguise.
In the end, there was a perfect ending.
Anyway, the vegetables were already frozen to death, so there was no need to rush to build a big stove. Once the greenhouse frame was built, the big stove could be built to heat up the greenhouse.
However, Yun Mianmian did not take away the radiator next to the rare land, but left it there, as the chicks also needed it.
After a day, the chicks became more energetic, not as weak as when they were just born, and they were not as weak as when they were just born. They could even walk around in the box now.
Yun Mianmian covered the box, added some cotton to keep it warm, and went back to the second floor.
Just as he was about to lie down, Hu Yuan sent him a message.
Hu Yuan: "Mianmian, I just saw the post you posted."
Yun Mianmian: "Well, find a few people to do the work, what's the matter?"
Hu Yuan: "Did you find anyone?"
Yun Mianmian: "I've found it, and the work has been arranged."
Hu Yuan: "It's like this, I have an idea, we can gather these players with workbenches together and build a team to specialize in taking large orders in the future, just like you, many high-level players need all kinds of supplies, maybe it can be used."
Yun Mianmian has been busy and tired recently. Unlike before, she always had time to think about making money and doing business. The goods in the trading center are almost gone. She said she would make some and put them on the shelves, but she hasn't found the time to do it yet. Fortunately, she has cooperation with other players, and she is only responsible for a part of the items, so it doesn't matter if she doesn't do it.
She looked at Hu Yuan and Nie Yangguang's trading center, and the things and fire sources are sufficient.
Especially Hu Yuan, it seems that he has obsessive-compulsive disorder. The quantity of each product is neat and tidy, as if it is replenished every day.
Hu Yuan made a lot of money selling wooden nails two days ago. He traded with novice players for a lot of good stuff. Today, he resold them and directly received a large number of upgrade materials.
When he first came to the game, he began to accumulate connections, observing who had materials to exchange in the chat channel, and then kept in touch with them. It was because of this that he met Yun Mianmian.
Until now, he has been in contact with many high-level players in the area.
They have abundant materials, and Hu Yuan can ask them if they have anything he needs.
Today, he used the materials he just exchanged to make another round of transactions, and now he is not much short of materials for upgrading to level 5.
But because of this, his backpack was full of upgrade materials, and there was nothing extra, so he wanted to find business opportunities to make some money.
When he saw the post posted by Yun Mianmian, he thought of this method.
Yun Mianmian thought for a while, "Let's not talk about whether there are so many people in need. Secondly, after gathering them together, if there is a big order, should we use all the benefits to pay them wages, or take commissions from the good deals they get."
Hu Yuan: "It is definitely not realistic to pay wages in the early stage. If there is no order, we can take commissions."
Yun Mianmian: "Then why would they be willing to give you commissions? Unless you find all the jobs."
Hu Yuan was silent for a moment, "I'll think about it."
Yun Mianmian did this because she wanted to build a greenhouse and she didn't have time, but how many people in the entire third district would be like her.
Yun Mianmian: "Well, think about it, if there is a way, it can be done. Let's divide the supplies tomorrow. After so many days, the trading center should have stored a lot of things."
Hu Yuan: "Okay."
-
Yun Mianmian was awakened by the crackling sound.
The room was obviously soundproofed. She couldn't hear any sound when it rained so heavily before. Why was she disturbed now?
She opened her eyes in confusion, and then suddenly realized.
It's hailing!
Hail in the snow, the kind that looks like it can kill people.
Yun Mianmian had an ugly expression.
In this weather, she still wants to go into the water... She
will really die!
Yun Mianmian opened the chat channel.
The players were all wailing, and some people had their heads broken by hail.
It was said that the oil paper umbrella bought before came in handy again.
"Fortunately, the oil-paper umbrella provided some protection, otherwise I wouldn't dare to go out."
"Mine did the same, but it only lasted an hour before its durability was reduced. It's obvious that it won't last long."
"Oh my god, isn't this going to kill people? Won't the houseboat be broken?"
"My level 3 houseboat has been smashed!"
"I'm a new player, my boat is only level 2, what should I do?"
Yun Mianmian noticed that the number of survivors was slowly decreasing.
It seemed that all players who hadn't reached level 3 would suffer.
Yun Mianmian sighed and sent a message in the chat channel.
Yun Mianmian: "In the next two days, the sea may freeze over and we may not be able to catch the treasure chests. Everyone be prepared."
"No way? How is it possible that we can't catch the treasure chests? What should we do then?"
"Yun Mianmian, are you telling the truth?"
"Don't scare us!"
"Without treasure chests, we players won't even have daily necessities. How can we survive?"
"If that's the case, then we're done for?"
"I don't believe it, it's impossible. Yun Mianmian, do you have any evidence?"
Yun Mianmian was just guessing. She could have not told everyone, but since it suddenly hailed today and so many people died, she decided to let everyone be mentally prepared.
Zhang Jincheng: "Yun Mianmian, are you here to sell supplies?"
Someone immediately answered, "Yes, do you think that everyone will trust you, and then buy things crazily to stock up in the next two days? Your business will be easier to do?"
Yun Mianmian was also speechless.
"I just want to earn supplies for these two days, and I have caused myself so much trouble. Am I not going to be able to stay in District 3?"
Zhang Jincheng disappeared for so long because he fell seriously ill after surviving the experiment on the deserted island. He has been recovering. At first, he spent most of his supplies to buy some life-saving medicine. Later, new players came and there was enough medicine, so he was able to buy enough medicine. Now he is almost well.
But because he was seriously injured in the desert island experiment, after he came back, most of the people in the gang had dispersed, and only one or two people were still following him. They were not very successful, so he simply disbanded the gang.
Today, when he saw Yun Mianmian speaking in the chat channel, he was so angry when he thought about how miserable he was in the desert island experiment, and Yun Mianmian actually took the first place.
How could he fall to this point, while she could take the first place and become the boss of the three districts.
Every day, you can see old players in the chat channel popularizing Yun Mianmian's good deeds to newcomers.
Now they say that treasure chests cannot be fished, such a ridiculous theory.
Zhang Jincheng: "Who knows what you're after? You mean the treasure chest won't be available for fishing soon, and all players can only wait to die, right?"
Yun Mianmian: "I don't need to explain to you."
"I just want to remind everyone to save as much as possible. Think about it, the temperature is getting lower and lower. If it reaches minus 30 and the sea freezes, where will the treasure chest come from?"
"Prepare for the worst, I am also doing this for the players in Zone 3 to survive."
Zhang Jincheng: "You have so many supplies, if you really want everyone to survive, just donate your food."
Zhang Jincheng shouted, as if he had grasped the truth.
Yun Mianmian ignored him.
She had no obligation to explain, this was a survival game, although all three zones would prosper together, and it would be better for her if more people survived, but... she would not harm her own interests to help others.
Yun Mianmian still had a lot of things to do today.
First take out the lucky dice and see how lucky you are today.
Very good!
It's number 3: All the best.
It looks like I'll have good luck today~!
Yun Mianmian sent two messages in the Cai Daqicu group.
Yun Mianmian: "Let's pack up the supplies and divide them later."
"Did you see what I said in the chat channel just now? I think the sea will freeze soon, so you should prepare early."
Nie Yangguang: "I saw it. I'm battling with Zhang Jincheng. This idiot must have got his head kicked by a donkey. I thought he was dead in the last survival experiment, but he's still alive. I heard that he had a serious illness and there was no news from him. It turns out that he's a rotten person."
Yun Mianmian didn't go to see Nie Yangguang battle with Zhang Jincheng.
Instead, he continued, "Don't waste your breath talking to him. Smart people will naturally think for themselves. Those who don't believe it, just let them not believe it. You can't wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep."
Hu Yuan: "In my opinion, Mianmian, there is no need for you to say these things in the chat channel. There will definitely be people who sing a different tune. They are unwilling to accept the reality and don't understand the current situation. It's hailstorming so hard today and so many people have died, yet they still have illusions."
Yun Mianmian: "After all, it's better to live one more life."
Yun Mianmian is not a saint. She has a clear conscience about what she did. It is good for everyone and for herself.
Hu Yuan: "I have almost sorted out the supplies last night. You two can call me when you are done."
Nie Yangguang: "Okay, I will sort it out right away."
Yun Mianmian does not have many supplies stored in the trading center, because she has not put many things on the shelves. She survived on a deserted island a few days ago and has been busy these days. Unlike Hu Yuan, she has made many things and sold many things.
Yun Mianmian was sorting out the supplies when she received a message from Luo Luo.
"Mianmian, I found an energy stone."
Yun Mianmian: "!"
After a few days, she finally received news about the energy stone.
Yun Mianmian: "How did you find it?"
Luo Luo: "My brother went into the water today and dug it up at the bottom of the sea."
Yun Mianmian: "How did he go into the water in such a cold day?"
Luo Luo: "There was diving equipment in his novice gift pack. He went into the water yesterday and again this morning."
Yun Mianmian: "Ok, I'll exchange something with you. What do you want?"
Luo Luo: "No need. We agreed before that I'll give it to you if I find the energy stone."
Yun Mianmian: "No, that won't work. This was found by your brother. I'll exchange it with him for whatever he needs. "
Luo Luo thought for a moment and said, "Then give him something to keep warm."
"He thought it wouldn't be very cold when he came. After all, we were not afraid of the cold before and only wore a sweater in winter. As a result..."
Yun Mianmian understood. She estimated that those who practiced martial arts were not afraid of the cold, but they could not withstand minus 20 or 30 degrees Celsius.
She just got a military coat yesterday.
Yun Mianmian gave the military coat to Luo Luo.
Luo Luo: "Okay."
"Anything else?"
Yun Mianmian felt that one military coat in exchange for one energy stone was a little too little.
Luo Luo: "I'll ask him what he wants."
Yun Mianmian: "Yeah."
After a while, Luo Luo replied: "He said he wanted some hot soup."
Yun Mianmian: "Okay, no problem."
Yun Mianmian still had a few fish head soups left, so she gave two to Luo Luo.
"By the way, ask him how it was in the sea today?"
Yun Mianmian also wanted to go in the water, but it was so cold that she was really afraid that she couldn't stand it. Unexpectedly, Luo Luo's brother was also strong and went in early in the morning.
She put on the polar cold-proof suit and put on a helmet before leaving the room.
As soon as she came out, hail hit her head, and it hurt even through her helmet.
In this weather, everything is difficult.
She went to check the living things on the boat first.
They were all frozen and struggling. It looked like they could not hold on any longer.
Yun Mianmian had just got one energy stone. It takes two energy stones to make a radiator, so she couldn't do it. Otherwise, she could make one more to keep them warm.
She had no choice but to concentrate all the animal cages on one level of the cabin, and then all the radiators. She
also moved the workbench here.
There is no other way, so she has to make do with it for now, even though it smells a bit.
