Chapter 5: Day 2 of the Novice Period (2) Meeting New Friends
After rekindling the bonfire with magic, Yu Luowei sat down beside the wooden bed to rest.
The manual dinged at that moment, and when she opened it, she saw that the green treasure chest of supplies from the event had arrived. Yu Luowei took it out along with the original treasure chest from the bracelet. Ten white treasure chests and two green treasure chests were neatly arranged in two rows in front of the wooden bed.
Taking a deep breath, Yu Luowei opened all the white treasure chests at once and gained:
[Wooden table × 1, wooden stool × 2]
[Spicy pork buns × 5, compressed biscuits × 1]
【Canned Coke × 6】
[1 large bucket of purified water, 1 compressed biscuit]
[Self-heating hot pot × 3, rice (5KG) × 1]
[Wheat Seeds (50 seeds) x 1]
[Stone × 10, Glass × 3]
[Down jacket × 1, quilt × 1]
[Newbie top (white) × 1, Newbie pants (white) × 1]
[Novice Bow (White) × 1, Arrows × 10]
There were too many types of things. The drawings and materials filled up the bracelet and the warehouse, and other items were scattered all over the floor.
Most of it was food; it looked like tonight's meals would be better. Yu Luowei used some stream water to wash the soup pot from last night, poured some water over the campfire, and cooked some porridge for later. The wooden table and stools were also set out, so they could finally eat at the table.
Finally, Yu Luowei dragged the two green treasure chests in front of him, prayed devoutly for a while, and then opened the two green treasure chests with a desperate move:
[Bracelet Expansion Card (1 grid) x 2, Warehouse Expansion Card (1 grid) x 2]
[Automatic flush toilet × 1, planter box × 1]
Oh my god! Is this the benefit of a Luck value of 7? Whatever you think, comes true! Yu Luowei, who was just wondering where to grow wheat after the base turned into wooden floors, couldn't help but burst into laughter no matter how calm he was.
As for the expansion card, you can understand from the name that it is used to add grids to the bracelet or warehouse. She took it out and used it immediately.
The other two things are:
An automatic flush toilet (a limited-time bonus for beginners, high-tech from the xx galaxy. Don't ask where the water comes from, or where it flushes, just be happy if it works) was immediately placed in the small room. Seeing the room finally having a touch of homeliness, I felt like I had finally stepped a little further from primitive society into modern society.
Planting box: [Constant temperature planting box, can only plant the same kind of plants (50 plants) at a time. After planting, it will automatically adjust to the most suitable temperature for the plants. However, you still need to do watering, fertilizing and pest control yourself]. Yu Luowei placed it next to the path outside the shelter before it got dark.
He planted the wheat seeds and poured in a box of stream water. A countdown appeared on the outside of the planting box: 239:59:34. It would take ten days to mature. This was much faster than on Blue Star. Although there were only 50 seeds, it was still a stable source of food. Before returning to the shelter, Yu Luowei couldn't help but tap the planting box a few times.
Entering the shelter again, the porridge was ready. Yu Luowei took out two meat buns and ate them with the porridge to finish her dinner. The porridge made from the rice from the Trial Game was much better than the rice on Blue Star, and it was comparable to the rice from Yu Luowei's hometown. She couldn't help but drink the whole pot. After cleaning the pot and then skillfully lighting the fire to melt the ice, Yu Luowei sorted out her supplies: first, she changed into a novice top and pants, which increased her defense value by 4. As for the clothes she had changed out of, she neatly folded them beside the bed with the quilt.
With the ten-liter bucket of pure water, Yu Luowei disassembled all the previous boxes, leaving only five for holding water (four of which contained stream water). After disassembling the green box, he obtained 1 iron block. Yu Luowei obtained a total of 11 wooden blocks and 2 iron blocks.
The steamed buns, mineral water, boxes, and weapons were all put into the bracelet, and the rest of the large food and building materials were put into the manual warehouse.
While sorting, Yu Luowei spotted the pine cones she had picked up earlier and took them out, placing them on the table. She planned to try to fry them and eat them. There were also vines, which had fallen from the trees when they were felled. In just two days, there were 30 of them, but she had no idea what they were for.
Yu Luowei took two of them in her hand, wanting to see if she could weave them into a rope or something. Unexpectedly, as soon as she took them in her hand, a prompt appeared saying that the manufacturing system had unlocked a new blueprint:
[Fiber: Can be made into thread. One vine can be decomposed into three fibers.
Thread: A necessary material for making some tools. As for what tools, hey, you can find them yourself. Synthesis requires: Fiber x 2
Simple Rope: Can be used for tying things up, other uses are up to you. Required for crafting: Vines x 2
So that's where it comes in. Yu Luowei pondered for a moment and crafted 15 strings for backup, then crafted the remaining vines into ropes. Tomorrow, he could pick some more vines and try to weave a small fishing net. Then, he could go fishing in the stream for a treat.
There were 31 pieces of wood left. Yu Luowei opened the communication channel, ready to first understand everyone's current shelter construction status and the price of wood, and then decide whether to trade and how much to trade.
The number of people on the channel has now dropped to (98540/100000),
Ma San: Haha, I first landed on a raft in the ocean with only a fishing rod as a newbie. I thought I wouldn't be able to hold out for long, but today I didn't have to search for event treasure chests. I caught one every five minutes, and I found them all in less than an hour!
Cheng Guang: I'm so jealous! I'm in the forest, and some treasure chests are underground, some are in trees. I'm exhausted, but I've only found 5, and they're all white. Can you guys tell me what's in the green treasure chests?
Liu Wu: Hahahahahaha, I've found a toilet in the green treasure chest! Finally, I don't have to do it outside! It's worth it after searching in the swamp for two hours and almost getting stuck.
[Ma San: You got a toilet too? I also got a toilet in my green treasure chest. I thought I was just lucky.]
[Zhang Shu: Me too, me too. It turns out this thing is unified. Could it be that this crappy game was monitoring our conversation this morning?]
[Jin Ling: Oh my god, what about those of us who haven't found all the items?]
[Zhang Shu: Just do what you did yesterday. Who told you not to look for the treasure chest today? I fought a monster looking for the treasure chest and nearly lost my life. And I'm still complaining about the small and low-level reward!]
Jin Ling: Anyone want to sell me a toilet? High price! I really don't want to go to the base at night. I can make do with it, but what about my daughter?
Yu Ze: Uh, how old is your daughter? I can't sell you a toilet, but I can buy you some diapers. Message me privately.
[Fang Min: Buying wood! Buying wood! Price negotiable]
They'd forgotten that children lived with their relatives. Hearing Jin Ling's words, Yu Luowei thought of her own mother. She couldn't help but feel a little sad. But she quickly suppressed her emotion, hoping that she'd have a chance to see her family again after she finished the game.
But it turns out the toilet is guaranteed to be unlocked. This game system is more humane than the ones she's read in other novels. And Fang Min, she saw her buying wood this morning. Even if she's out of energy, she can still chop down a dozen small trees in two days. Plus, there's a treasure chest to disassemble.
Yu Luowei couldn't help but feel curious. More importantly, if she traded with her, the price would definitely be higher than the market price. So she clicked on Fang Min's profile picture to initiate a private chat:
[Yu Luowei: How much more wood do you need?]
【Fang Min: 6.】
Yu Luowei: I can provide it to you. How do you plan to exchange it?
This time, Yu Luowei waited for a while before receiving the message:
【Fang Min: Two fruits and one piece of wood.】
There were actually fruits. Yu Luowei herself had never seen one bloom. If she hadn't discovered the cherry tree by chance, she wouldn't have any fruit now. There weren't many fruits at the beginning of the game. The price was much higher than Yu Luowei had expected, so she asked directly:
Yu Luowei: That's a pretty high price. Could you please tell me why you're so short of wood?
I waited for a long time before they replied. It seemed like no one was complaining. I was holding it in for a long time, and when I finally met someone, I immediately started sending a bunch of messages:
Fang Min: I've been thrown into the desert! There's nothing but sand all around. I finally managed to gather all the weeds, but there's very little wood. If I hadn't opened a treasure chest yesterday and found a disposable tent and duvet, I would have frozen to death last night! I finally found all the chests today, but I didn't find any wood, only ten pieces from dismantling the chests. I finally managed to accumulate enough points, and I wanted to try my luck at the points mall, but the system said they don't sell wood or stone basic materials! Ahhhhhh, I'm so angry! I don't know what awful sins I did in my past life to end up in such a crappy place in this life!
Yu Luowei could feel the resentment of the other party even through the screen. He couldn't help but laugh, but his hands didn't stop moving and continued typing:
Yu Luowei: Ten pieces of fruit for six pieces of wood. If it's a large piece like a watermelon, six pieces will do.
It wasn't that Yu Luowei was particularly kindhearted. It was just that from the Survival Trial game's attitude over the past two days, she'd sensed that the system wasn't malicious and didn't want to push the Blue Star people into a desperate situation. Otherwise, there wouldn't be today's event or the toilets permanently locked in the green treasure chests. Given that, as long as it didn't harm her own interests, Yu Luowei was willing to do her best to show some kindness to other "normal people," especially girls. Perhaps the game had some hidden insights into this aspect.
Fang Min: Oh my god, you're so nice, sister! You have no idea, but the people who have approached me these past few days have all been asking for exorbitant prices, wanting to exchange a piece of wood for five pieces of fruit. How can someone as nice as you exist? Can you add me as a friend, little sister?
Then six big round watermelons and two peaches were sent.
To trade items between two people in the game, you can publish a targeted transaction through the trading market, which will charge a little interest, or you can give items to each other without any interest. However, targeted transactions are guaranteed by the game system, while gifts depend on the other party's luck.
Unexpectedly, Fang Min trusted him so much during their first chat. Yu Luowei accepted her friend request and sent her six pieces of wood and two bottles of mineral water.
Yu Luowei: You trust me too much, aren't you afraid I'll just take the things and run away? Peaches are my favorite fruit, so consider this the mineral water as an exchange. If you have any other fruits or desert specialties in the future, feel free to come to me first.
Fang Min: Thank you, baby! Woohoo, so touched! How did you know I was short of water? It's too hot in the desert during the day and too cold at night. I don't know how I'd survive tonight without you. I'll take it, and I'll share it with you when I find something good! Honestly, the first time I received your private message, I had a hunch that you were a super nice person, otherwise I wouldn't have told you about my situation.
Yu Luowei: Well, thank you for the compliment, but it's getting late, you'd better build the shelter first.
What a cute chatterbox. After living two lives, Yu Luowei was still not familiar with how to get along with strange chatterboxes, so he quickly sent her away.
Besides this transaction, Yu Luowei also discovered from the chat channel that the monsters others encountered today were more numerous than yesterday, but at the same level. It seemed like he was in a special situation, probably related to his personal information. Therefore, the monsters he encountered tomorrow would only be stronger than today's, so he had to be more cautious.
Since there was fruit, Yu Luowei decided to treat himself to a peach before going to bed. He fried some pine nuts and got: [A handful of fried pine nuts x 5]. He put four of them in the manual warehouse and one in the bracelet as a snack for going out tomorrow.
The work was almost done, so Yu Luowei washed up and went to bed. The upgraded wooden bed was much better than the straw bed yesterday, and Yu Luowei could finally rest well. After saying good night to herself in her heart, Yu Luowei gradually fell asleep.
