Chapter 27: Mysterious Blood

Tissue paper isn't urgent; the auction house has plenty.

However, it's better to first get hold of these few blueprints.

He then messaged Ruan Qingtan:

"Aren't you going to keep these blueprints for yourself?"

Because of physiological differences, girls actually need a private restroom more than boys.

So Lin Yifan couldn't help but ask.

Ruan Qingtan quickly messaged:

"Keeping them is useless; I only have blueprints, but turning them into real objects needs materials, which I don't have."

"Moreover, I spent today looking for treasure chests—I didn't chop trees or break stones—I'm hoping to trade these blueprints for supplies to upgrade the shelter."

"But I promised yesterday that if I sell my blueprints, I'll give you first pick; if you want them, you'll also have priority purchase rights."

Since they've already decided to sell, Lin Yifan has nothing more to say.

Because what they said makes sense; she has no materials, so having blueprints can't be realized.

Then it's better to exchange them for supplies!

Since he decided he wanted them, Lin Yifan was not stingy at all—like a nouveau riche—he messaged:

"Then name your price! I'll take all three blueprints."

Seeing Lin Yifan's reply, Ruan Qingtan's heart instantly relaxed.

Actually, she didn't really intend to prioritize selling all the blueprints to Lin Yifan.

Put bluntly, people are selfish.

If someone could offer a better price than Lin Yifan, or better terms, she would naturally choose to trade with others first.

But now, most people can't achieve equal exchange; they basically just want to get a bargain.

Occasionally, someone wants to trade, but the conditions are very harsh and the price is driven very low.

It's completely like looting amid a fire.

How could Ruan Qingtan accept that?

So after going around, her best trading partner is still Lin Yifan.

However, she didn't dare to ask for a lion's share; after a rough calculation, she honestly offered a real price:

"Boss, to upgrade my shelter to level 2 I still need 74 units of wood, 78 units of stone, 49 units of clay; I'll give you these three blueprints plus those two items altogether—can you help me gather these?"

Lin Yifan looked at Ruan Qingtan's words and was truly speechless; two days have passed.

He thought that no matter what, at least half the materials would have been gathered by now!

Unexpectedly, this little girl hasn't found any materials at all; she went all out looking for treasure chests.

However, her luck is not bad—not only can she find treasure chests, she can also open so many blueprints; that could be considered a talent.

Although Lin Yifan's current materials are prepared for upgrading his shelter to level 3.

But he's actually not that urgent; he's now well-fed, warmly clothed, and basic security is still there.

There's still one day until the mosquito swarm uprising; delaying the upgrade by a day doesn't matter.

Moreover, the price Ruan Qingtan offered is actually fair, even a loss.

Because if we really talk about it, the value of the blueprints is absolutely higher than these basic materials.

It's just that everyone is extremely poor right now.

So at this point exchanging the blueprints is all profit, no loss.

What's more, Lin Yifan has always been generous to people he knows well.

He didn't even haggle, nor even look at what the two items were, and directly initiated a trade with Ruan Qingtan.

Ruan Qingtan was currently sitting by the fire, anxiously waiting.

Upon seeing the trade Lin Yifan sent over, she was instantly overjoyed.

She also quickly put the three blueprints and the other two items into the trade slot.

After receiving the blueprints, Lin Yifan glanced at them twice and then directly studied them.

But actually producing them, he currently can't do it.

Because making a flush toilet needs ceramic; making generally needs glass and metal aluminum; making a solar water heater also needs these.

And these things still can't be obtained in this time period, so Lin Yifan isn't in a hurry at all.

Just a quick glance is fine; he temporarily shelved the idea of building a bathroom.

And only now did he finally remember to look at the remaining two items Ruan Qingtan traded to him.

One of them was actually a drop of blood sealed in amber.

Lin Yifan looked at this blood and instantly felt a palpitation, as if facing some terrifying beast.

Looking at the description further confirmed his thought.

【Blood of a certain mysterious bird】

Effect: Unknown

(Special Task Reminder: If you can find a bird egg about to hatch, perhaps you can drip this drop of blood onto the egg, possibly causing the hatchling to inherit some of the bloodline of the blood's owner. What if this is the blood of a phoenix or a kunpeng? The time to gamble on luck has come! Dare you gamble?)

Lin Yifan looked at this long special reminder and was momentarily speechless.

Again, it's making him gamble on luck!

The entity that posted this message is really a thorough gambler.

But whether he should gamble or not?

From the aura emanating from this drop of blood, its owner is absolutely not simple.

At the very least, it's a top-tier raptor.

Moreover, even a single drop of blood sealed in amber can emit such a powerful aura; one can imagine how terrifying the original body must be.

Could it really be a phoenix, a kun-peng, or some other divine beast?

But aren't those mythical creatures?

How could they possibly actually exist?

Lin Yifan shook his head, and then felt that everything could make sense.

After all, he has now transmigrated into this Survival Realm full of strangeness and danger, and he can even eat attribute fruits to strengthen himself, which has long surpassed the boundaries of science.

Having a few divine beasts would then be completely reasonable!

If the original owner of this blood is truly a divine beast, then even being able to absorb a trace of its bloodline would be tremendous!

Although the golden eagle is also a raptor, compared to such legendary divine beasts, it amounts to nothing!

Isn't it just a gamble?

If we're gambling, then gamble!

Lin Yifan carefully used the axe handle to smash the resin wrapping the blood outside, and then carefully dropped that drop of blood onto the 【Golden Eagle Egg】 that was in the process of hatching.

The 【Golden Eagle Egg】 had been utterly still, gathering strength, preparing for its final escape dash.

But from the moment the Mysterious Blood dropped onto its shell, the entire egg began to tremble rapidly.

It seemed as if it would break out of its shell in the next second!

Lin Yifan watched the 【Golden Eagle Egg】 shaking faster and faster, his heart also extremely tense.

This is the pet he has been longing for!

If anything were to happen because of his greed, he would feel like killing himself.

But fortunately, the 【Golden Eagle Egg】, after shaking for a moment, gradually came to a stop.

Then Lin Yifan saw the eggshell suddenly break!

A little bird head covered in yellow down cautiously poked out from the eggshell.

With its small bird head tilted, it curiously sized up Lin Yifan!
