Luo Xinglan then said, "I'll trade you 10 bunches of grapes. Do you still have enough wood?"
Zhou Yiran replied, "Hehe, that's enough! If you want to trade nails and screws with me, I might not have that many, but I have plenty of wood! I went to explore the desert with you guys yesterday and cut down a lot of trees, plus the wooden crates also yielded a lot of wood, so it's more than enough!"
Luo Xinglan: "..."
How could you possibly cut down so much wood in the desert?
This week is another extraordinary person.
Luo Xinglan smiled and shook her head, then clicked on the trade button. She exchanged 10 bunches of grapes for 300 pieces of wood. With that, plus what she had just collected, she would have enough materials to upgrade her homestead.
She immediately clicked to upgrade.
The next moment, the panel in front of her changed. The original "Expansion" area was replaced by "Homestead". In addition to the "Expansion" area, many densely packed buildings appeared, such as wooden walls, wooden roofs, wooden doors, wooden windows, wooden floors, wooden fences, wooden pavilions, etc.
Wow, I didn't know you could build houses after upgrading to a homestead!
Luo Xinglan was eager to try; building houses was her specialty!
The next moment, a channel announcement sounded:
[Congratulations to survivor Luo Xinglan for becoming the fastest survivor to upgrade their home in this region! You have received 1 dining table blueprint and 1 wooden bed blueprint!]
"Luo Xinglan is making her presence felt again."
"Furniture blueprints? They don't seem very useful. Weapon or equipment blueprints are much more useful."
"Hehe, do you think Boss Luo Xinglan would lack these things? Her furniture is for enhancing comfort!"
"Sorry to bother you!"
...
Private messages kept ringing, but Luo Xinglan didn't have time to look at them. She immediately clicked on the wooden wall, and its information popped up:
[Wooden Wall: A type of wall that is not very sturdy, but can provide shelter from the wind and rain and protection from danger. It requires 103/2 planks and can be removed.]
board?
How should it be manufactured?
Do you use a smelting furnace?
But wouldn't the wood just burn as soon as it's thrown in?
Luo Xinglan arrived at the smelting furnace, intending to take a look, but unexpectedly, a message popped up automatically:
The smelting furnace can be upgraded!
Wait, the smelting furnace can be upgraded now?
Luo Xinglan clicked the upgrade button without hesitation.
After a series of clanging and banging, the smelting furnace was successfully upgraded, and from the outside, it looked no different from the original.
Luo Xinglan tried throwing two pieces of wood into it.
[Used as fuel or for making planks?]
It turns out that after the smelting furnace is upgraded, you can choose its purpose.
Luo Xinglan clicked to create a wooden plank, and a few seconds later, the plank was completed.
She immediately made a wooden wall out of planks.
[Triggering a lucky event reduces plank consumption by 50%!]
The resulting wall left Luo Xinglan somewhat dumbfounded.
Calling it a wall is an understatement; it's clearly just a board! It's about the same width as a door.
No wonder it only needed two planks; it's such a small thing!
How much wood would it take to build a house?
She has to take advantage of today's happy occasion to make the most of it!
Luo Xinglan didn't even look at the furniture blueprints she had just received before running off to collect wood.
"【Precious Round Fruit】for wood. One 【Precious Round Fruit】for 50 pieces of wood. Limited quantity, first come, first served! DM me if interested!"
"Damn! I opened three silver chests and only got two rare round fruits. The big shot actually used them to exchange for wood?!"
"This guy truly lives up to his reputation; he keeps redefining my understanding!"
"I've never seen a Zhenyuan Fruit before. Luo Xinglan, could you give me one so I can see it for myself?"
"I want to see it too!"
Liu Di: "Boss Xinglan, I'll trade with you! Check the private messages!!!"
...
It's already the third day. Everyone knows how precious the Zhenyuan Fruit is, and they don't know what they'll face next. Naturally, they need to stock up on food and supplies to restore their energy.
After refreshing the screen three times, Luo Xinglan finally checked her private messages, which flashed by as quickly as if they were being spammed.
Everyone else only sent one or two messages, but Liu Di sent more than ten in a row.
Luo Xinglan still remembered him. She opened their chat and didn't even look at the messages he sent: "One Zhenyuan Fruit for 60 pieces of wood."
Liu Di was still happy when he saw Luo Xinglan's reply, but then he saw the content, and his chubby face immediately fell: "Huh? Wasn't it supposed to be 50 pieces of wood for a rare round fruit? How come it's 60 pieces now? Boss, raising the price like this is not good!"
Luo Xinglan said slowly, "Others can exchange one Zhenyuan Fruit for 50 pieces of wood, but you have to exchange 60 pieces."
Liu Di panicked: "Why? Boss, I haven't offended you, have I?"
Luo Xinglan: "Have you forgotten about calling me stupid in the chat channel? I haven't forgotten at all."
Liu Di said awkwardly, "Heh, so you watch the chat channel too, huh? I was just making things up..."
Luo Xinglan knew he was just making it up, but since she had seen it, she had to pay some price, right?
Luo Xinglan: "Stop talking nonsense. One [Precious Round Fruit] can be exchanged for 60 pieces of wood. Are you in or not? If not, I'll find someone else to exchange with. There are plenty of other people waiting to exchange with me."
Liu Di panicked: "Hey boss, don't worry. How about this, I'll give you a useful piece of information, and you still want me to trade 50 pieces of wood for it?"
Luo Xinglan didn't take it to heart: "How do you know I also think it's useful just because you think it's useful?"
Liu Di quickly replied, "It will definitely work! And I guarantee that I'm the only one in the entire district who knows about it!"
