Ignoring basic resources like wood, scrap iron, weeds, and minerals, as well as some food, we also collected:
Land: [Intermediate Land x4] [Elementary Land x6] [Elementary Herb Field x3] [Elementary Paddy Field x1]
Seeds: [Two bags of wheat seeds]
Blueprints: [Spear - Common Blueprint] [Random Blueprint]
There weren't many items, but the random blueprint caught Luo Xinglan's attention.
Random blueprints? I never knew blueprints existed. What will they create?
Luo Xinglan was somewhat tempted, and she took out the blueprints.
[Random Blueprint: This blueprint can create random items. Use with caution! Requires: 0/1 Iron Ingot, 0/1 Copper Ingot, 0/1 Silver Ingot, 0/1 Gold Ingot, 0/1 Zircon.]
She does have those things.
Luo Xinglan immediately took out a piece of mineral from each box, then threw them into the smelting furnace to refine them into corresponding metal blocks.
Once she had gathered all the materials, she clicked "Make".
[Consuming 1 Iron Ingot, 1 Copper Ingot, 1 Silver Ingot, 1 Gold Ingot, and 1 Zircon, you can craft the key recipe!]
The next moment, Luo Xinglan had a piece of paper in her hand, which actually contained the formula for making the key!
[Key - Bronze: Requires 2 Refined Iron]
[Key - Silver: Requires 2 Fine Silver]
[Key - Gold: Requires 2 Refined Gold]
[Key/Zircon: Requires 2 Zircon stones]
Keys can actually be made?
Moreover, if there is a zircon key, there must also be a zircon box, right?
How come I've never seen it before?
Luo Xinglan decided not to dwell on that for now; she wanted to see if someone without a recipe could make the key.
She first put the two copper blocks into the smelting furnace, and after confirming that a silver key had been made, she sent a message to Jiang Mingze: "Do you have any refined copper?"
Jiang Mingze: "Yes, there are still quite a few left. Do you want some, Sister Lan?"
Luo Xinglan: "No, put the two pieces of refined copper into the smelting furnace and see if you can make any items."
Although Jiang Mingze was a little confused, he still did as instructed.
A short while later, he replied to Luo Xinglan: "There's no reaction at all. What can you make from two pieces of refined copper? A larger piece of refined copper?"
Luo Xinglan was overjoyed; it seemed that she needed the recipe to make the key!
She then opened the online store and found that almost no one was selling keys.
Indeed, keys are practically a necessity. Whether it's a copper box, a silver box, a gold box, or even a zircon box you've never seen before, you need the corresponding key to open it.
Once people have the keys, they'll definitely want to keep them for themselves and won't sell them.
But she was different.
She can make keys! She could totally sell keys!
Luo Xinglan felt that she had discovered another path to wealth.
She checked her current mineral holdings: [Copper ingots x360], [Silver ingots x250], [Gold ingots x180], and [Zircon x4].
Zircon is the rarest of all; I only found six pieces last time, and haven't encountered any since.
Since no one has probably seen a zircon box yet, we won't make a zircon key for now.
The bronze, silver, and gold keys alone could make a fortune. Perfect timing, today's lucky streak is all about selling, so it can finally come in handy.
Luo Xinglan made 10 bronze, 10 silver, and 10 gold keys in one go, intending to assess the situation before setting a price.
Opening the world chat channel, I saw Chen Xiaodong spamming the chat again:
Chen Xiaodong: "Buying golden keys! Buying golden keys! Bring your price!"
Chen Xiaodong: "Buying golden keys! Buying golden keys! Bring your price!"
Chen Xiaodong: "Buying golden keys! Buying golden keys! Bring your price!"
The screen refreshed incredibly fast, making it almost impossible for others to get a word in edgewise.
Perhaps tired, he finally stopped spamming the screen, giving others a chance to chime in:
"I'm speechless! Did Chen the Mad Dog hack the world chat? How come he's spamming the chat so much that nobody can even get a word in edgewise?"
"Damn! This is utterly mind-polluting! Why can't we report this lousy game?"
Even if I have the key, I won't sell it to him!
"No, I'm even willing to give him the keys for free. Stop spamming the screen, it's making me sick!"
Luo Xinglan: "I have a [Key to Gold] here, anyone want it?"
Upon seeing this, Chen Xiaodong immediately said, "Luo Xinglan, I'll take your golden key!"
When he went to explore the island, he found a golden chest, but he didn't have a golden key at the time, so he brought the chest back, thinking he would get a golden key to open it.
But after searching for half a day, no one was willing to sell even a silver key, let alone a gold one!
Now that he's finally found someone selling a golden key, he's determined to buy it!
Although the person selling the key was Luo Xinglan, he still harbored resentment towards Luo Xinglan because of the smelting furnace incident, but for now, he would put those grudges aside and get the golden key first!
Thinking of this, he immediately sent a private message to Luo Xinglan: "Luo Xinglan, I need this golden key. As long as you give me the golden key, our past grievances will be wiped clean!"
When Luo Xinglan saw Chen Xiaodong's message, she had the expression of someone using a "senior citizen's phone on the subway".
Seriously, is this guy out of his mind?
What does it mean to wipe away all past grudges?
Judging from his tone, it sounded like he was doing her a favor.
Are you okay?
She suddenly didn't really want to sell the key to Chen Xiaodong anymore.
After waiting for a while without receiving a reply from Luo Xinglan, Chen Xiaodong asked anxiously, "Luo Xinglan, did you see my message?"
Luo Xinglan still didn't reply, so he kept sending messages and even went to the world channel to shout.
