Chapter 207: Survival Game System (36)
Xie Yang arrived at her Rest Cabin, as if she had arrived at a certain sea-view luxury apartment in the real world.
She first mixed herself a cocktail and took a comfortable hot spring bath.
This hot spring water was something she had hoarded in her Backpack Slot beforehand.
At the time, she thought to hoard some hot spring water just in case some dungeon made it inconvenient to boil hot water for a bath, so she would have hot water to use.
She didn't expect that now there would be no water to use at all.
It was just that hoarding water required her to be in contact with water every moment, but she had to chop wood and fleece the Residence Island; there were too many things to do, so she only hoarded a little in her Backpack Slot while taking baths. Therefore, the hoarded amount was not very large, but it was enough for her to enjoy a few hot spring baths occasionally in an environment lacking water.
Xie Yang sipped her cocktail, soaked in the hot spring bath, and looked at the beautiful scenery of the sea and sky merging into one outside through the bright porthole glass.
If one didn't think about the fact that the environment she was in was a Survival Game and that she was facing a drought disaster, it really gave one the illusion of being on vacation.
She soaked for about twenty minutes, rinsed off simply with the hoarded fresh water, and applied body lotion.
This used water was not wasted; she spent Gold Coins to buy a Water Storage Bucket to use later for flushing the toilet and washing the mop.
After tidying herself up, Xie Yang sprayed some orange perfume on her wrists, rubbed her hands, and opened the Treasure Chest.
【Congratulations to player GY for obtaining Gold Coin*200, Navigation Acceleration Card*2, Towing Slot*2, which have been added to the player's backpack.】
【Congratulations to player GY for obtaining Gold Coin*200, Water Purification Kit*2, Merge Card*2, which have been added to the player's backpack.】
Seeing the Water Purification Kit, Xie Yang raised an eyebrow. Could it be that her luck was now so good that she got whatever she wanted?
After carefully reading the description of the Water Purification Kit, she discovered that it was still very different from the Seawater Desalination Device she wanted.
The Water Purification Kit could only remove impurities in the water and filter out bacteria and viruses in the water, but it could not extract the salt from the seawater.
In other words, the Water Purification Kit could only make seawater clean, but it could not turn it into fresh water.
But then she thought: clean seawater was now available, so was extracting salt to get fresh water still far off?
But to be safe, Xie Yang still had the Main System spend points to purchase a Seawater Desalination Device.
A very compact tool, yet it could continuously desalinate seawater.
A high-tech product that exceeded the Modern Plane; it wouldn't be easy to take out outside the game.
But in the game, let alone a Seawater Desalination Device, even if she brought out a magical device that had never been heard of or seen in the real world, no one would be suspicious.
The Survival Game itself was enough to shatter everyone's original worldview into pieces.
Survival Game System: 【...】
No! This is cheating!
Main System: 【I communicated with you before entering the game, and you said it could be used.】
Survival Game: 【...】
It had been careless!
Returning to the Cockpit, after discussing with Fu Zhangzheng, Xie Yang first sent the two newly opened Merge Cards to the Regional Channel in the form of red envelopes, allowing the ten players in the tows to draw them.
【Those who draw them, merge first. Don't be discouraged if you didn't draw one; there will definitely be such opportunities in the future. As long as you don't give up, there is definitely hope!】
【Additionally, let me tell everyone some good news: I have opened a Seawater Desalination Device, so we won't be short of daily water from now on!】
This news truly made those players who hadn't drawn a Merge Card instantly perk up.
【Wow! The big shot is awesome!】
【I must have saved the galaxy in my past life to have met the big shot Wanyi in this shitty Survival Game!】
【Big shot, do you need help? I'm signing up!】
【I'm signing up too! I'll do anything!】
Xie Yang smiled: 【I do need everyone's help! The Seawater Desalination Device needs people to watch it, and the Water Storage Bucket must be replaced immediately once it's full. Because there are other tasks to arrange, for the desalination part, two hours per person, everyone takes turns. Personnel on duty can bring their own cups to drink water for free, plus a labor subsidy of 5 Gold Coins per hour.】
【No need for Gold Coins!】
【Damn! You kid are such a bootlicker! You'll make the big shot think we want Gold Coins!】
【Hahahaha!】
With the joint cooperation of the Water Purification Kit and the Seawater Desalination Device, Xie Yang's large Cruise Ship would never be short of fresh water from now on.
As long as the seawater didn't dry up, they would always have fresh water to use.
Not only were they not short of it, they could also set aside a portion to trade with players on the World Channel who were extremely short of water, so they wouldn't be forced to be annexed or looted by players from other countries for a mouthful of water.
This move won the favor of most surviving players, but it also completely offended that small group of players with sinister motives.
Since they were already offended, Xie Yang simply logged into her main account and started advertising purified water on the World Channel:
【Dahai Brand Purified Water, an indispensable good friend for the Drought Season! I have already helped you bring the price down! 2 Gold Coins a cup, you provide the cup, I provide the water! You can't go wrong buying this! You won't be cheated!】
2 Gold Coins per cup of purified water was the price Xie Yang decided on after discussing with other fellow players.
Although the Seawater Desalination Device didn't require extra expenses, the Water Purification Kit needed regular maintenance. And the whole process required someone to stay by its side to prevent the Water Storage Bucket from overflowing when full.
So out of these 2 Gold Coins, 1 Gold Coin was saved to pay the wages of the shift personnel, and the remaining 1 Gold Coin was the maintenance fee for the Water Purification Kit.
If you can't come up with Gold Coins, you can also exchange other supplies.
2 Gold Coins for a cup of water is indeed not expensive!
A bottle of Mineral Water in the Game Mall costs 10 Gold Coins, which could buy 5 cups of purified water!
Consequently, players from various countries came to find Xie Yang to buy purified water one after another.
Xie Yang's team could earn two or three thousand Gold Coins every day just by selling purified water.
And this was still in the early stage of the Drought Season, where many players were not yet short of water.
By the later stages, there would only be more and more players coming to buy purified water, and the purchase volume would also become larger and larger.
Because they were not only short of water, but also short of vitamins.
Although Red Clay retains heat and moisture, vegetables and fruits cannot be grown in the long-term absence of water.
Living on the sea, the two things one fears most are: first, a lack of fresh water, and second, a lack of Vitamin C.
The former causes death by thirst, the latter causes death by illness.
Therefore, the pure water Trading link initiated by Xie Yang was always pinned to the top of the homepage by players from various countries; the number of players coming to her to buy water increased day by day, and the trading volume grew larger day by day.
This day, they suddenly discovered that a small advertisement initiated by GY had appeared below the pure water Trading link:
【Limited supply of the following fresh fruits and vegetables: 1. Perfume Lemon; 2. Chili; 3. Bok Choy; 4. Rosa Roxburghii; 5. Tomato; 6. Cucumber. 10 Gold Coins per portion; players in need can enter the corresponding number to place an order. Quantities are limited; currently, only player pre-orders are accepted.】
As soon as this advertisement came out, players from various countries were shocked!
Just how high is this Dragon Country player's Luck Value! Not only does she have an endless supply of pure water, but she also has an endless supply of fruits and vegetables!
Immediately, many players gave up on growing their own vegetables and fruits, choosing instead to pre-order directly from Xie Yang.
Spending 10 Gold Coins to eat ready-made vegetables and fruits—isn't that much more convenient and affordable than buying water to irrigate Red Clay, then sowing seeds and waiting for the vegetables to mature?
