Chapter 183: Disaster Survival System (12)

Xie Yang considered that other players were not as lucky as her—having the chance to land on the ice-free Nameless Island to forage for seafood. Since she had steamed so much and couldn't finish it all by herself, she grabbed a little of everything, gathered 32 portions, and sent out a fixed-amount red envelope in the Regional Channel.

She hoped this bite of delicious food could heal the terrible mood everyone felt after being struck by the ruthless natural disaster.

No matter how difficult it is, please walk forward bravely!

33 people, representing 33 units of Protective Shield in the Dragon Country; not a single one can be missing!

【Fellow countrymen! Taste the specialty I brought from the Nameless Island! Because I was in a hurry, I didn't bring back much. One for each person, just for everyone to get a taste.】

The red envelope was snatched up almost instantly.

Except for Feng Hongmei's portion, which wasn't claimed for a while.

Feng Hongmei was currently burying her head in drinking seafood soup.

Hearing the notification sound of a red envelope to snatch in the Regional Channel, she looked up and saw it was a seafood red envelope sent by the big shot Wanyi, and there was one for everyone, so she didn't have to rush to click it. She decided to finish her hot soup first.

Everyone else clicked it the first moment they saw it, and upon opening it, they found it was actually seafood, and it was still steaming.

In the Extreme Cold of ice and snow, eating a bite of steaming hot food is such a happy thing!

Some of them snatched prawns, some snatched baby cuttlefish, some opened up razor clams, and others got clams.

The size was quite a bit larger than in the real world, but after all, it was only one; once stuffed into the mouth, it was finished in a few bites.

But the steamed seafood retained its original, authentic, fresh sweetness, making people feel satisfied and moved.

【Wuwu! Thank you, big shot! This is the first time in three days I've eaten something hot, feeling moved!】

【Big shot, please carry me! I'll do anything! Let the big shot eat the meat, just let me have a sip of the soup!】

【Big shot, today is the last day of the Novice Protection Period. After 10:30 tonight, there won't be any Protective Shield. What should we do later? Please advise!】

Seeing this line, Xie Yang just remembered: Oh, it's still the Novice Protection Period, no wonder she didn't encounter any danger along the way.

But this was also her first time experiencing this kind of holographic game that was so realistic it was almost identical to the real world; she had no idea what would pop up later.

After thinking about it, she sent a bowl of seafood soup with plenty of ingredients to the real big shot in this regard—GY09854, and asked by the way:

【Regarding this problem everyone is worried about, do you have any good suggestions?】

Fu Zhangzheng:...

He was wrapped in a quilt, exploring the island.

He didn't know if it was because his Luck Value was too low, but his Residence Island was so desolate that besides the Shelter and ice and snow, he didn't see a third thing.

After snatching the seafood red envelope sent by Xie Yang and still savoring the fresh sweetness of the shrimp meat, he received another bowl of steaming hot seafood soup sent by Xie Yang, and he was so moved that his eyes were brimming with tears.

He told Xie Yang what he had observed and what he usually understood:

"In Extreme Cold weather, if you talk about danger, the first thing is definitely the blizzard. But our region currently has 33 players who have surely upgraded; as long as we don't go out, we should be able to avoid the first blizzard. There is another type of danger, and that is polar animals. When they have no food, they will brave the wind and snow to forage, which requires defensive weapons."

"My luck has always been very poor."

Fu Zhangzheng scratched his head sheepishly when he said this:

"The Xinsou Libao and the Blind Box Treasure Chest from the upgrade rewards didn't open anything good. I don't know about other players. If there are no weapons and the Shelter can't withstand the beast attacks, then the consequences..." He didn't dare to think about it.

Xie Yang asked him how much Luck Value he had and if he had added the rewarded Attribute Point to his Luck Value?

"I added it! But it couldn't help that my base value was too low; my Luck Value was only 3 when I came in, and even after adding 2 points, it's only 5."

Xie Yang: "..."

Oh my! She found someone even unluckier than her.

There was nothing to be done about that; the luck of an 'African chieftain' is indeed mysteriously bad.

"You should look around the island more carefully." Xie Yang gave him a suggestion, "I always feel that every player's Residence Island should have one or two items that are helpful for survival or upgrading."

Fu Zhangzheng thought the same, which is why he had been exploring while wrapped in his quilt.

Xie Yang exited the private chat window with Fu Zhangzheng and found that this brother 05678 had left her a long, flowery thank-you note, and finally sent a photo over:

"Big shot, do you see if this is Iron Ore?"

Xie Yang took one look, and isn't this...

She spoke to him directly via voice:

"You found it on your island?"

"Big shot, you finally replied to me! Cough, you really are a girl! Awesome!"

"By the way, big shot, I found this when I was exploring the island. I compared it with the Iron Ore photos posted by other players on the World Channel. It's a bit similar, but not exactly the same. Mine is slightly yellowish in color, not as red as the ones they posted."

Xie Yang said: "I'm not very sure, but I think it looks like Chromite. Try putting it into the Game Mall Recycling Station; it should give you a recycling price, and then you'll know what kind of ore it is."

"There's also a Recycling Station? I'll go check it out right now! Thank you, big shot... cough, big sister! No, sister! You are my own sister!"

"..."

Exiting the Communication Channel, Xie Yang put her attention back to the Tool Bench.

The Tool Bench had finished upgrading.

With the Intermediate Workbench, the variety of tools that could be manufactured increased; both cast iron and steel forged small and medium-sized tools could be made.

In other words, could she mass-produce defensive tools like knives and axes?

Xie Yang placed five pieces of Iron Ore into the slots, which had expanded several times after the upgrade, confirmed the selection of "Produce Steel Forged Axe," and found it took 28 minutes, while a Cast Iron Axe only took 12 minutes. Adding a 3-minute cooldown, that meant 4 could be produced in an hour.

Xie Yang chose the Cast Iron Axe without hesitation.

The Tool Bench received the command and began mass-producing with a clanking sound.

Xie Yang generated a "Cast Iron Axe" Trading link in the Regional Channel.

【Fellow countrymen who need an axe to chop wood or for self-defense, click the link to trade. If you don't have enough Gold Coin, you can choose to buy on credit; just pay it off within fifteen days.】

This excited the rest of the Dragon Country players.

Some of them didn't have an axe to chop wood and were sighing at the trees;

Others were worried that once the Protective Shield disappeared, some terrible things would emerge, yet they had no tools for self-defense by their side.

This move by Xie Yang was simply a benefit delivered right to their hearts.

30 Gold Coins!

In the Game Mall, that's only enough to buy three bottles of water or three Small Breads, but here from the big shot, you can buy a Cast Iron Axe that serves as both a tool and a weapon!

Buy!

Even if you're short on Gold Coins, buy it!

Didn't the big shot say credit was allowed? Once they chop enough Wood, keep enough for upgrades, and sell the rest to the Game Mall, won't they have some income too?

With a fifteen-day credit period, they should be able to scrape together 30 Gold Coins somehow.

And so, in less than ten minutes, the pre-sale orders for the 32 Cast Iron Axes that Xie Yang had listed were completely snapped up.

She set an order of priority for her fellow players based on the urgency of their needs, shipping to players with trees on their islands first, but the other players would definitely complete their Trading by 9:00 PM at the latest.

When initiating the Trading link, she discovered that automatic Trading could be set up.

In other words, the game system would help her send out the Cast Iron Axes produced by the Tool Bench to the corresponding players in order.

This way, she wouldn't have to keep waiting by the Tool Bench to ship them manually.
