Chapter 43: The Second Day of the Eclipse Rainy Season (2) Disaster Situation, a Major Disaster…
Yu Luowei originally wanted to buy some golden silk tree seedlings to achieve sustainable development. However, after purchasing them, when she tried to plant them, she received a message: "Environment not suitable, cannot plant."
Thinking of the real-life golden nanmu tree, Yu Luowei guessed that this tree also needed to be planted near a gold mine. Unfortunately, the gold mine was with Fang Min, not with him.
Speaking of which, every time I opened a box before, I got some prop cards. In the past few days, I have accumulated dozens of them. Yu Luowei took them out and took a closer look. In addition to the old friend material selection card and prop upgrade card, there is also a resource protection card and a transmission card.
I looked at the tips and found that they can be used in this season:
[Resource Protection Card: Can be used on resource points to protect them from environmental changes. Even if there is an earthquake, the resource points can be guaranteed to remain unscathed.]
[Teleport Card: Teleports to a designated location, but requires the survivor to ensure the safety of the location! This card does not include insurance.]
There were only two resource protection cards, both of high quality. Yu Luowei tested them and found that the only resource points outside were the Black Abyss Entrance Lake and the Crystal Mine. She used one on the Crystal Mine and decided to wait until tomorrow to see what happened to the other one, as it was quite special.
There are twelve teleportation cards, but each can only be used for one round trip, so it's not a lot. However, since there's no map, setting the location requires taking the teleportation card outside, which will have to wait until tomorrow.
As she was watching, Fang Min, who Yu Luowei had just been muttering about, sent a message in the group:
Fang Min: Oh my god, this rain is really heavy! If I hadn't been in this awful environment for over 20 days, I would have thought I was on land!
Fang Min: Doesn't the book say the desert absorbs water? How could it become like this in just one day? It's almost submerged in my feet. This game is ridiculous!
Fang Min: But I found an oasis on the other side of the dunes today. There's a special kind of tree growing in the oasis called golden silk wood. When you chop it down, it doesn't drop ordinary wood, it's golden silk wood. It must be a high-quality material. Weiwei, Linlang, do you two need any?
Speak of the devil, and he'll show up. I was just thinking about Fang Min's gold mine, and now it's here. Yu Luowei quickly replied:
Yu Luowei: This is the material needed to upgrade the shelter to level six! But it can't be upgraded right now. Do you have the resource protection card? If you do, you can protect this place for now. I'll find you on the settlement day.
[Fang Min: Great, great! However, I think I got a Resource Protection Card today, but I haven't had time to check the prompt yet. I'll check it out later.]
Zhao Linlang: I also opened one, and I've discovered a new copper mine here. It's underground, but it can't be mined anymore. I just bound it, and when the settlement date comes, I'll become a gold miner.
After chatting with Fang Min and Zhao Linlang for a while, Yu Luowei asked them and Lin Zhixia if they had received the controller and ignition key. It turned out that Fang Min was the only one missing the ignition key, and everyone else had already collected it, presumably in the oasis.
During the chat with Lin Zhixia and the others, Yu Luowei also discovered a phenomenon: for Jiang Nian'an and Su Tang, who have weaker combat power, the way they get the treasure chest with the activation key is to defeat the guardian monsters, which are colorful little tigers and kittens.
But for Zhao Linlang and the fully armed Grandma Lin (because of the upgrade and eating the fruit of life, their physical fitness is similar to that of a middle-aged person in his thirties or forties, and because Lin Zhixia was worried, she still carried the weapons given by Yu Luowei), the way they obtained the treasure chest was puzzle trials, but the format was different from Yu Luowei's. Zhao Linlang's were some logic questions, while Grandma Lin's were more focused on the test of kindness.
Su Tang told him that the situation was similar for everyone else in the channel. This monster was quite clever, understanding how to treat people differently. Yu Luowei summarized the information and sent it to the two groups.
Fang Min was now troubled. She had no idea what the monster corpse she had encountered would look like. After a long thought, she decided to go out fully armed tomorrow and try to defeat the monster, as this method was the simplest and most violent. After watching, Yu Luowei donated a new whip.
We could raise the base today. First, we went inside to take a look at the scenery outside. By the campfire, we could see the accumulated water was getting higher and higher. Yu Luowei walked over and measured it through the fence. It was already ankle-high. As the rain fell, the water continued to hit the fence. Although it hadn't come in yet, judging by the situation, it would sooner or later.
Entering the shelter, Yu Luowei checked his materials and, using 1,000 stones, ascended to his current maximum height of 5 meters. He only needed one type of material to ascend, and the quantity depended on the type of material and the size of his base. That's why the system didn't suggest that higher levels were always better.
Because wood is more likely to rot when soaked in water, Yu Luowei first passed up wood, even though it was her most abundant material, and instead chose stone, the second most abundant material.
The controller had unlocked a new staircase blueprint today, making it easier to enter the forest from the elevated base. Yu Luowei also built one, which could be extended later by spending materials.
From the moment the materials were fed into the controller, the base erupted in a rumbling roar. After waiting for about five or six minutes, the sound finally died down. Yu Luowei walked outside the shelter. Beyond the fence, the bushes were no longer there, but instead, a vast expanse of emptiness. Through the rain, the treetops in the distance could be vaguely seen.
The staircase in front of the base was quite wide, about enough for two people to walk side by side. Looking down through the fence, the water below seemed to be getting deeper and deeper. It had already submerged two steps. Yu Luowei couldn't help but worry about Fang Min's situation. He went back and urged her on.
There didn't seem to be any special items to sell this season, and everyone's resources were used to buy basic materials, so there wasn't much interest in buying other things. Yu Luowei's wood shop had been doing much better, so he stopped adding new items.
Click on the chat channel, everyone is discussing this disaster:
Li Tian: This disaster is developing so quickly. The water here is already up to my feet. I need to quickly raise my base. But I'm a little curious. Those in the desert and the ocean, one can't cause flooding, and the other already has boats. Wouldn't that be great in this season?
Ding He: Thanks for the invitation. I'm in the desert, just escaped quicksand. Not really. I don't know what's going on with this game, but the water can't seep into the sand at all. It just pools on top, though it's not that high enough to cover my feet. I couldn't even detect the quicksand, and now there's a layer of water on top. It's even harder!
Yu Fan: Yeah, but I haven't felt that yet in the sea. It's just that water accumulates on the boat. But I upgraded my boat a few days ago, and the drainage system is sufficient. I also have the controller you mentioned, but I haven't found the starter key yet. But if that's the case, I don't think I'll need a starter key.
【Yu Hui: Ah, I'm a little envious. What's going on?】
Fu Xiangming: I advise this comrade not to be careless and to search for the activation key. After two seasons, everyone should understand that this game can't ease the difficulty for some people and allow them to smoothly navigate disasters.
Li Zhao: Exactly. I agree with the boss. We'd better find a way to find the key tomorrow. It's not that difficult anyway.
Fu Xiangming was indeed a good person, having replaced Zhao Linlang. Because of his reputation, he wasn't criticized. It was Li Zhao's cooperation that made Yu Luowei hallucinate Jin Yu and Ma Ming.
Because of the cooperation of other members of Fu Xiangming's faction, the channel was still very harmonious for the time being. However, this harmony irritated someone's eyes—yes, it was Ma Ming, who was also in the ocean.
Thanks to his previous support for Jin Yu, Ma Ming never lacked resources and thrived. Unfortunately, Jin Yu was exposed shortly afterwards. To prevent himself from being implicated, Ma Ming did not speak up for Jin Yu, thus preserving the resources he had swindled and defrauded.
Now Jin Yu had hooked up with another faction. Ma Ming shamelessly approached them, hoping to join them again, but the vindictive Jin Yu refused. He was also kicked out the day after the last event. He had been so extravagant before, but these past few days, relying solely on himself, his accumulated resources were almost depleted.
Seeing Fu Xiangming and others in the channel, Ma Ming recalled the days when he used to bully others and couldn't help but feel resentful towards Fu Xiangming.
"What does he know? I don't believe a flood in the ocean could get any bigger. Even if it's a tsunami, I can handle it with my Level 5 ship base," Ma Ming thought angrily. He only had one key to begin with, and he hadn't defeated the Level 4 monster he encountered today, and only escaped in time to avoid injury. This further solidified his resolve not to look for the controller.
Of course, Ma Ming is the only stupid person who thinks this way in this area. Others who have collected all the items are already using the controllers, and those who have not collected all the items are also looking for guides everywhere, trying to get them tomorrow.
After seeking opinions from others, Yu Luowei summarized the information about the controller's starting key and wanted to post it on the trading channel.
Since she was collaborating with Zhao Linlang, Lin Zhixia, Jiang Nian'an, and Su Tang, Yu Luowei took the opportunity to introduce the two parties and then gathered them in a large group to discuss pricing. Jiang Nian'an felt that this product was only a quick buck, and by this time tomorrow, most people would be there and it would be unsaleable. The price was like a compressed biscuit, and Su Tang, using Yu Luowei's name, would attract traffic in the chat channel and sell it on her own shelves.
This would be equivalent to exposing Su Tang's products in the market. However, she said that she had never sold anything in the first place and probably would not sell anything in the future. If it really didn't work out, she could put it on other people's shelves, so it didn't matter.
The item would be removed from the shelves tomorrow night, and since Luo Wei and Lin Zhixia (the only two people who had reached level four in the points mall) would convert the points into points, they would split the money equally. Of course, since she hadn't found both items yet, Fang Min resolutely withdrew from the "money-sharing" process.
After making the plan, Su Tang took a screenshot of the chat history about the intelligence and sent part of it to the channel, saying that it was valuable experience gained from the number one on the list and other big guys, and that users could go to the trading market to buy the full version, which was limited to one night.
As soon as the post was sent out, Su Tang was overwhelmed with orders and had no time to continue talking in the group. In the end, Zhao Linlang and Jiang Nian'an also came to help, and it was barely able to get back on track.
By midnight, having sold several thousand copies, they called it a day and began dividing the profits. Everyone received one or two thousand points, a truly impressive profit. Since the two parties were unfamiliar with each other, the large group chat fell silent after discussing the business. However, with the prospect of future collaborations possible, no one left the group.
Yu Luowei felt much more relieved now. Although she had sought opinions before creating the group, she was still a little worried. She was not good at managing interpersonal relationships. The current result was already very good.
