The group chat remains lively.
But the content isn't just idle chat; each person's ssage carries dissatisfaction with their own situation and envy and jealousy towards those who are better off.
Of course, there are also those spreading doomsday theories, talking about everyone dying together, while secretly living well themselves.
Lin Yue has beco a famous na in this group of ten thousand.
After all, he drew everyone's attention by selling large quantities of water continuously.
There are quite a few discussions about him in the group, though Lin Yue doesn't care about the variety of opinions.
His main focus now is how to survive longer in this world, rather than concerning himself with trivial matters.
Lin Yue carefully scanned the ssages and unexpectedly found soone ntioning a term he was interested in.
"Opened a blueprint, trading for water, interested parties are welco to chat!"
Blueprint!
What kind of blueprint? Lin Yue's interest was piqued, and he imdiately opened the transaction market and typed "blueprint" into the search bar.
Soon, an item appeared.
[Seller: Louis Capone]
[Trading Item: Iron Pot Blueprint]
[Required Material: Water]
[Seller's note: Opened from an Iron Treasure Chest after a whole day's effort. I need water, as much as possible!]
Iron pot... blueprint?
So with this blueprint, you can use materials to make an iron pot.
In survival crafting, only very basic items are available to craft.
Weapon and tool categories include axes, hamrs, shovels, picks, guns, spears, bows, and slingshots. Besides these, the options are limited to tables, chairs, beds, and torches.
Materials are divided into wood, stone, and iron, corresponding to the required materials.
Beyond that, there's nothing else.
If you want new things, you can only craft a wooden ladder to get a blueprint, or open a chest to find one.
If soone naturally possesses carpentry or masonry skills, could they get blueprints when crafting items?
Then, can these blueprints be purchased?
Lin Yue tried placing his wooden ladder blueprint in the trading market.
It worked!
He quickly withdrew it, realizing the principle behind it was true.
Moreover, he figured out the core purpose of this ga.
To preserve those who are more capable, have more technology, and are stronger.
They didn't include elderly, children, or those unable to survive independently right away considering this point.
First let young and able-bodied people participate and conduct a major selection.
The first wave eliminates those lying flat and doing nothing - their ramshackle hos will be rcilessly destroyed by mutated creatures.
Those who stay without water for long periods will soon be eliminated in the second wave.
During the disaster seven days later, those who don't make it through will be the third wave to get wiped out.
Lin Yue thought for a while and checked the product ssages again, discovering many people surprised by the iron pot blueprint, but even more were envious he opened the Iron Treasure Chest.
He stretched his arms, still feeling sore.
These past few days involved way too much physical activity; Lin Yue, who was not much into exercise, soon felt the consequences.
However, if he could persevere, he would unknowingly beco stronger.
And with six days left before unknown disaster strikes, he must stabilize his shelter and stockpile a large amount of food and water.
In the group chat, as Lin Yue silently observed, he noticed the increasing demands for water and more frequent ssages.
It's been nearly a day and a half without drinking water; anyone would find it unbearable.
It's undeniable that stone counts as hard currency, it's seldom sold, even if he released 300 milliliters of water, the bids were sparse.
It's been quite so ti but the bid records remained at 22.
However, it seems about ti.
He glanced at the ssages.
No trace of the one selling the small soilless cultivation kit.
Want to hold onto it? Then let it sit idle.
After all, it's not a necessity.
Just as Lin Yue was about to confirm the transaction with the most suitable offer of [Stone X10], a new bid popped up.
[Stone X8, Iron Pot Blueprint X1]
Oh, Louis couldn't help but make a move.
However, iron pot...
Lin Yue looked at the aluminum foil in his inventory.
Constantly using aluminum foil for instant noodles won't work, also he indeed needs an iron pot to boil water.
Not to ntion, if living standards improve, wouldn't an iron pot be great for making a goose stew?
Additionally, there's another aspect catching Lin Yue's attention.
Rating.
Bids on this auction actually have a system rating standard, and the bids receive a total score based on the value of the offered items, leading to a ranking by score.
For instance, the third bid "Stone X9" has a score of 540, while the second "Stone X10" scores 600, and the bid including the iron pot blueprint shot up to a high score of 2900!
Lin Yue couldn't discern any pattern in how the scores were determined.
Still, it highlighted the value of the iron pot blueprint.
Lin Yue imdiately clicked to confirm.
[You lost 300 milliliters of water]
[You gained Stone X8, Iron Pot Blueprint X1]
Transaction complete, Lin Yue felt relieved.
What to do next?
He thought for a mont and opened the "Shelter Evaluation" option.
Last ti the system mocked his ramshackle hut would be blown down like the big bad wolf with a puff of breath, so what about this ti?
Shelter: All-Wood House
Area: 40㎡
Durability: 45/50
Comnt: You've got a wooden house, one spirited match and it's gone. By the way, did you deal with the formaldehyde?
hhhhhc.
Who designed this system?
Lin Yue felt like greeting the family of the programr who designed the system.
Is it just a love for malicious sarcasm?
Anyway, it doesn't matter.
Lin Yue clicked on crafting and switched to shelter-related items.
Let's see, how much stone do I need?
[Stone Door: Stone X4]
[Stone Wall: Stone X20]
[Stone Roof: Stone X10]
[Stone Floor: Stone X10]
Lin Yue felt frustrated.
Why does it need so much stone? It's far more than wood?
Note that this is just a small 40-square-ter house.
To convert this wooden house into a stone house, should he continue selling water?
Although he has plenty of water reserves, there's a problem.
There aren't many mutated creatures nearby.
Lin Yu went outside again, grabbed an Iron Spear, and decided to kill more mutated creatures.
"The farthest I've walked is two hundred steps. This ti, let's try going an additional hundred steps!"
Lin Yue said, heading in a direction.
Just when he asured three hundred steps, Lin Yue didn't have ti to do anything when suddenly fierce roars ca from far ahead of him!
"What is that...?"
