Chapter 201: Disaster Survival System (30)

The fishing gear rewarded by the system is actually quite good.

Of course, it could also be that the baiting spot she set up was effective; in any case, every net had a significant harvest.

The seafood caught from the deep sea looks much higher-end than what is picked up while beachcombing.

Moreover, most of it is stuff you can't find beachcombing, such as salmon and tuna.

If one ignores the environment of the Disaster Game, at this moment she feels as if she has returned to the sixties—that happy moment of achieving seafood freedom by utilizing the sub-system.

"Big Boss! Big Boss!"

Just as Xie Yang was immersed in the joy of fishing, Ming Hao sent over several voice messages:

"Chen Shuoyun and I reeled in a 'big fish'... The two of us coordinated, and we managed to pry out that the other party seemingly has a lot of high-purity quartz sand, but the asking price is insanely high. You know how many Gold Coins Chen Shuoyun and I have; we spend them as fast as we get them, there's just no restraint at all... *sobbing*..."

The Chen Shuoyun he mentioned is another second-generation rich kid. When studying abroad, they had crossed paths several times at a "fellow-townsmen association" organized by nationality, and after entering the game, they recognized each other by voice before long.

"How much is the other party asking for?"

Xie Yang is, of course, interested in high-purity quartz ore, a necessity for upgrading the Shelter.

"I'll screenshot it for you!"

Ming Hao sent a screenshot of his chat history with GY06753 to Xie Yang.

If Xie Yang could see the Sky Screen outside the game, she would definitely recognize this player—it is none other than the Ice Country contestant ranked second on the Comprehensive Ranking List.

Surviving in low temperatures can be said to be the other party's forte, and his Luck Value is also higher than the player average; his upgrade speed is second only to Xie Yang.

His luck this season is also quite good. Just as the ice and snow melted, he discovered a rare gem—Amber—in a Sea Erosion Cave on his Residence Island, and then opened a Dungeon Secret Key from a rewarded Blind Box Treasure Chest, logging into the dungeon Shazhou Island, where he obtained a large amount of high-purity quartz sand.

Xie Yang saw the trading price he offered Ming Hao: one unit of high-purity quartz ore must be traded for one unit of palladium gold or other equivalent ore.

No wonder Ming Hao and his friend were gossiping about him behind his back.

That really is a lion's share!

The recycling price of palladium gold is 1000 Gold Coins, while high-purity quartz ore is only 200.

This guy actually demands a one-to-one trade.

But Xie Yang doesn't want to miss this opportunity...

After thinking for a moment, she took out a small box of gold ingots and a small box of silver ingots collected from the shipwreck, added a few diamonds, took a photo, and sent it to the other party through Ming Hao.

She cannot reveal her own face; the ID "GY" is too familiar, and she is afraid of being slaughtered as a fat sheep by the other party.

She entrusted Ming Hao to help convey: use the aforementioned supplies to exchange for 1000 units of quartz ore; if willing, it's a deal, if not, then forget it.

At worst, she will just spend more Gold Coins to buy them from the Game Mall.

You can buy quartz ore in the Game Mall, but you can't buy antique gold ingots, silver ingots, and diamonds.

Presumably thinking that he could take these to the real world after successfully clearing the game, the other party agreed to the trade without much hesitation.

Mainly, the other party doesn't know that Xie Yang has palladium gold; if he knew, he would never have agreed to this even if it killed him.

Xie Yang successfully exchanged for 1000 units of quartz ore and can upgrade the Shelter into an Ocean-going Ship that fears no wind or waves at any time.

She revealed this news to Fu Zhangzheng, letting him also take some supplies that cannot be traded in the Game Mall but which they have in abundance, and trade for quartz ore with the other party through Chen Shuoyun.

After the deed was done, the two of them sent 100 pieces of palladium ore to both Ming Hao and Chen Shuoyun, who facilitated the trade, to express their gratitude. Xie Yang also gave them an extra bucket of freshly caught deep-sea fish, shrimp, and crab.

Ming Hao said privately to Chen Shuoyun: "Buddy, didn't I say listening to me was the right move? Being a leg-hanger for a Big Boss is not only not shameful, it's very worth it! Just ask yourself, could you get this much palladium ore? With the few Gold Coins we have on hand, let alone 100 pieces, we couldn't even afford 1! And that bucket of seafood, you can tell at a glance it's not ordinary stuff you can pick up on the beach..."

Chen Shuoyun: "..."

Isn't he just a leg-hanger for a Big Boss? He'll be one, then!

But can you stop bringing it up all the time? Is this something so glorious?

He is the sole heir of Chengfeng Technology, doesn't he have a reputation to maintain?

Xie Yang used the deep-sea fish, shrimp, and crab she caught to make a table of delicacies.

While enjoying it beautifully, she didn't forget to send a portion to Fu Zhangzheng, and incidentally asked:

"Can your previous trading link still be used?"

"Yes."

Xie Yang pondered that since she could use grilled meat skewers to trade for the Volcanic Rock and Red Clay needed for the upgrade last time, then this method should surely work for the quartz ore needed this time.

Only this time, she doesn't intend to sell grilled meat skewers, but instead switch to various seafood from the deep sea: tuna sashimi, scallops with vermicelli, seafood in spicy sauce, garlic oysters, cheese crab bakes, grilled eel with sauce...

Even if players can pick up small seafood brought up by the tide or dead deep-sea seafood on their respective Residence Islands, they definitely cannot pick up delicacies cooked with such fresh deep-sea seafood.

The trading price is still one-to-one, that is, 1 unit of seafood for 1 unit of high-purity quartz ore.

For players who have high-purity quartz ore on hand, this can't be called expensive.

Especially those players who had tasted the grilled meat skewers before; as soon as they saw GY09854 had put up fresh food again, they didn't even look at what it was and directly confirmed the trade.

After the trade was successful, they realized it was seafood. They aren't short on this stuff right now and were just about to curse, "I got scammed this time," when they smelled the aroma of the seafood and couldn't resist tasting a bite.

One bite down, and it was truly delicious!

【Oh my god! What kind of worldly delicacy is this! I'm so glad my Residence Island opened up a bunch of quartz ore; from now on, I've achieved seafood freedom!】

【I've had seafood freedom for a long time! Ever since my Shelter was surrounded by collapsed fissures, the fish and shrimp in the sea have all swum right to my doorstep!】

【It's different! You can't pick up the seafood traded for quartz ore even if the tide brings it to your doorstep! The tuna sashimi is super fragrant!】

【No matter how fragrant, it's still seafood. I'm sick of eating seafood! What I want to eat most right now is vegetables! Has anyone among you grown vegetables using Red Clay?】

【I've never opened up any Vegetable Seeds! *Sob*... Which kind player opened up Vegetable Seeds? Can you sell me a vegetable?】

【Want to eat vegetables +1】

【Want to eat vegetables +2】

【Want to eat vegetables +ID number】

Upon scrolling to this post, Xie Yang raised an eyebrow; she has vegetables!

Not only did she grow Chinese cabbage, spinach, and bok choy using Red Clay, but the wild vegetables and mushrooms transplanted from Fengqing Island have all survived! Now she can pick whatever she wants to eat!

Xie Yang rubbed her chin: "How about we try trading vegetables for High-purity Quartz Ore?"

And so, Fu Zhangzheng's Trading link had new items listed again—

【To give back to new and old friends, fresh vegetables are on sale at a discount! Spinach, cabbage, Mao Mao, Shepherd's Purse, mushrooms, Indian aster... no matter which one, you can take it home for 2 pieces of High-purity Quartz Ore! Any vegetable, all for just 2 pieces of High-purity Quartz Ore! 2 pieces! 2 pieces! You won't lose out! You won't be fooled! Quantities are limited! First come, first served! While supplies last!】
