Chapter 11
For the first time, Xi Miao took the initiative and added Little Warriors.
For a young warrior just beginning to show his talent, the name "XiXiXi" should not be underestimated.
He knelt solemnly in front of the treasure chest and carefully accepted XiXiXi's friend request.
"Is there something you need from me?"
Upon receiving the message he sent her, Xi Miao simply used the system to take a picture of a conch shell and send it to him.
Are you interested in buying it?
The little warrior's eyes lit up the moment he saw the photo, and he replied to Xi Miao with lightning speed, "Yes, what do you want?"
Xi Miao knew he was a decisive person, but she didn't expect him to be this decisive.
In her dream, the little warrior's name was very famous. He was the first person to successfully change jobs, and the job sounded ordinary: Shield Swordsman.
But the little warrior took this profession to the extreme, and once ranked high on the combat power list.
More importantly, he crafted both his shield and sword by hand, and was a renowned weapon-making master.
That's exactly what Xi Miao was after.
"I need a good weapon. Do you have a forge?"
Not everyone is lucky enough to have a furnace, and Xi Miao was worried that this future weapons master did not yet have a forge capable of creating weapons and equipment, so she asked him this question.
But this also tells her to some extent that she knows his information and knows that he can forge.
Xi Miao was prepared to answer his questions.
The person on the other end immediately asked, "What kind of weapon do you want?"
That's so decisive!
Xi Miao paused for a moment, then gave a description.
"I am 168 cm tall and need a weapon similar to the Green Dragon Crescent Blade or the Fire-Tipped Spear."
"..." The little swordsman was silent for a moment, barely understanding her abstract description, "It's a weapon with a stick on the bottom and a knife on top, right?"
"That's right!"
Xi Miao had sought out many blacksmiths in her dreams to forge weapons, each time requiring a lengthy description and incurring significant communication costs.
This was the first time she had encountered a blacksmith as understanding as the little swordsman, and her impression of him immediately improved.
So, in addition to the conch shell, Xi Miao also casually tossed the piece of calcified shell she had cut off into the trading list.
According to the transaction rules, the other party also needs to submit something before they can take the conch shell away.
So after submitting the submission, Xi Miao turned off the screen and prepared to continue digging for some lightly polluted seafood on the beach.
After a while, the little warrior took the initiative to send a message.
"Excuse me, could you give me the shells on credit? I don't have any raw materials."
Xi Miao glanced at the time; five minutes had passed since she submitted the transaction. This guy had actually taken five minutes to mentally prepare before making his request. Just as rumored, he didn't know how to ask others for favors.
She chuckled and agreed.
You owe me a favor.
This time, the other party readily admitted it.
Xi Miao wasn't worried about the little warrior defaulting on his debt. He was known for valuing promises, and because he rarely asked for favors, there were very few people who could make the little warrior owe him favors. His favors were very valuable.
Xi Miao essentially gained a favor from a future bigwig for free, and was in a particularly good mood, even humming a little tune while digging for seafood.
Girls who smile a lot are usually lucky.
With her in a better mood, Xi Miao's luck seemed to improve as well, and she received the diving suit she wanted not long after.
With diving goggles and a snorkel, even Xi Miao, who isn't a very good swimmer, can still search for treasure chests in shallow waters.
Since we're still beginners, the treasure chests at this stop won't be too difficult to find.
If we encounter a coastal station again in the future, we'll probably have to dive into dangerous places like trenches to find the treasure chest.
Because of her poor swimming ability, even with a breathing tube, Xi Miao still had to go to the surface to breathe every two or three minutes.
Swimming is very physically demanding, and physical strength is linked to power. Xi Miao's power is only five points, so it's clear that her physical strength isn't very good either.
But her time at the station was limited, and she couldn't afford to waste it.
Over two days and 48 hours, Xi Miao only slept for one hour to recover her strength, spending the rest of the time searching for treasure chests and collecting resources along the way.
As the saying goes, hard work pays off. With one hour left in the countdown, Xi Miao finally found the treasure chest behind a thick patch of seaweed.
Xi Miao excitedly put away the treasure chest and climbed onto the beach with her weak hands and feet.
After drying, they slowly walked towards the train.
She is not very strong now and can't walk fast, so she needs more time to get back to the train.
After being soaked in seawater for a long time, Xi Miao's skin became wrinkled, and the delicate skin on her hands and feet peeled off.
But Xi Miao didn't care. She staggered back onto the train, her clothes already dry and clean as new.
Lying down on her bedding, Xi Miao glanced at her current data.
Her strength remained at five points, unchanged, but she could feel that her body had become much stronger.
I tried holding my breath again, and my lung capacity was also a bit larger than before.
Xi Miao estimated that if expressed in terms of data, her current status should have risen from 6.1 to around 6.5.
Although the numerical values did not increase, the strength did improve.
She closed her eyes contentedly and took a quick nap.
When I woke up, the train had already started moving again.
Xi Miao took out two roasted potatoes to fill her stomach and excitedly began to sort through her haul from the previous station.
First was the bronze treasure chest, which she carefully placed aside and did not open for the time being.
Besides that, the biggest gain was food.
While searching for the treasure chest, Xi Miao casually grabbed a lot of low-pollution seafood, including fish, shrimp, and crab, which took up three backpack slots.
Xi Miao caught a fish and grilled it, deciding to exchange most of it for resources.
But the catch weighs a hundred pounds, and it would be troublesome to exchange it.
"I wish I could open a shop."
Unfortunately, she hasn't even passed the beginner stage yet, so there's absolutely no chance that Xi Miao's dream of opening her own shop will ever come true.
Her memory of it was somewhat vague.
I only remember the approximate time when the first shop appeared, it seemed to be after she passed the seventh stop.
Someone obtained an operating license, and after activation, a shopping button appeared on the interface of all players.
You can see the open shops simply by clicking on them.
In a way, this is similar to online shopping stores nowadays, except that people don't have much interest in decorating their stores, so most of the store interfaces are very simple.
The descriptions are also primarily precise and pragmatic.
I'll pay more attention to business licenses in the future. Thinking this, Xi Miao kept it in mind and posted it on the public chat.
"Seafood for sale."
As for what resources to exchange and how exactly to exchange them, it depends on the trade request submitted by the player who wants to buy.
While waiting, Xi Miao's eyes darted toward the treasure chest, and she couldn't help but rub her hands together.
Opening treasure chests is addictive; once you've opened one, you can't help but look forward to the next.
Xi Miao glanced at her luck stat of 11 again and immediately made up her mind.
Never mind, let's just start!
