N-M Chapter 5 The Deal!
Chapter 5 The Deal!
After receiving the water and food, Shuang Ruxue kept only the water and returned the white bread to Lin Xia.
"I'm a succubus now, I don't need to eat this kind of thing. I'll just drink some water. If I'm hungry, I'll ask you for some~"
Upon hearing this, Lin Xia subconsciously rubbed her waist and then nodded.
After putting the bread away, he pondered for a moment, then looked at the three-headed hound that Okamoto Saburo had killed not far away, and directly instructed Shuang Ruxue:
"Go and see if you can collect the meat and pelts from these hunting dogs."
"I want to trade these things for some of the components needed for the water dispenser blueprints!"
Upon hearing this, Shuang Ruxue gave Lin Xia a resentful look, but still obediently went over.
After eating and drinking her fill, Lin Xia put the remaining three loaves of bread and three bottles of water into her backpack.
That's when I clicked into the chat channel.
Seeing that the world channel had gone from 82 billion people to only 58 billion, Lin Xia fell silent.
If I didn't have this talent, I might have been one of the 24 billion who died!
Moreover, it seems that not everyone dares to dig into the unknown mud walls.
After taking a deep breath, Lin Xia didn't think much of it and switched directly to the area chat interface, then carefully read through the information.
"I'm not Old Liu: If anyone has water, I was born in a scorching, sandy cave; I can trade my stone pickaxe for it!"
"Uesugi: Water is so precious, upstairs! You think you can get water with just a broken pickaxe? You must be dreaming!"
"God King: What a pity, I do have water here, but it's seawater. I'm on a deserted island in the underground cave, otherwise I really would like to switch!"
"Wolf Cat: Does anyone have food? Any kind of food is fine. A Snorlax has appeared here, and it keeps begging me for food. If I don't get any, it beats me up. I can't take it anymore!"
As Lin Xia watched the messages constantly appearing on the screen, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up in a smile.
It seems everyone is having a tough time, which puts Lin Xia at ease!
After all, if the survivors have an easier time, it might be really difficult for Lin Xia to exchange for resources.
Lin Xia casually set a nickname, "Qingci Zhujiu," and was just about to continue looking at the market when...
Just then, Shuang Ruxue arrived at Lin Xia's side with prepared hound meat, hound fur, and hound teeth.
"I've taken care of everything, Master!"
Lin Xia was somewhat surprised to hear this.
"How did you do that?"
Upon hearing this, Shuang Ruxue had a thought, and her fingernails instantly grew longer.
"talent!"
Lin Xia nodded, without any hesitation.
[Ding—You have obtained 15 Hound Meat, 3 Hound Hides, and 6 Hound Teeth!]
After receiving these, Lin Xia pondered for a moment and realized that at this stage, food and water were the most essential necessities.
The underground caves connect to all the heavens and worlds, and with such a large population, there are bound to be some lucky individuals who possess the materials they need.
Perhaps I could set a high price to buy it.
Thinking of this, Lin Xia immediately edited a message and sent it to the world chat and the regional chat.
"Looking to buy; can trade hound meat and hound pelts!"
Of course, Lin Xia wasn't idle on the trading chat side either; she also posted a message.
Hound Meat x1: Gold Ingot x3
[Hound meat x1: Refined iron x5]
[Hound meat x1: Electronic components x2]
[1 piece of hound meat: 5 pieces of plastic!]
After Lin Xia sent out the message, she immediately received a lot of private messages!
Lin Xia opened it and immediately burst out laughing.
"I'm not Lao Liu: Master Boiling Wine, do you have any water? I have gold ingots, lots of gold ingots. I can trade you gold ingots for water!"
"Uesugi: Boss, I have a lot of plastic and electronic components here. I can give them to you if you need them, but could you give me priority if you have any good stuff to sell later?"
.......
Lin Xia was dumbfounded after reading seven or eight messages.
How can these people be so rich!
Aside from a few freeloaders, I didn't expect there to actually be stock!
After thinking for a moment, Lin Xia replied directly to the person who called her "I'm not Lao Liu":
"Qingci Zhujiu: Okay, but I can only give you a bottle of water in exchange for three gold ingots. I wonder if you'd be willing!"
"I'm not Lao Liu: Great, great, that's perfect! I spawned right next to a gold mine. Besides a few simple digging tools, all I have is gold. If you need gold in the future, just tell me! You can trade it for food and water!"
After saying that, I, not Lao Liu, immediately sent a transaction request.
[Exchange 3 gold ingots for 1 bottle of clean drinking water. Do you agree?]
Seeing this, Lin Xia didn't hesitate at all and immediately clicked "agree"!
[Ding—Acquired 3 Gold Ingots]
After completing this transaction, Lin Xia added "I'm not Lao Liu" as a friend and then looked at Uesugi's private chat.
"Poetry and Wine: Are you telling the truth?"
"Uesugi: Of course it's true. I was born in a junkyard, which is full of plastic and electronic components, and even a lot of good stuff. It's a complete mess. The reason I did this is to invest in some big shots!"
Uesugi: I've invested in so many people!
Immediately after this message ended, a notification appeared on Lin Xia's panel.
[Uesugi has gifted you 2 electronic components and 5 plastic items!]
[Ding—You have obtained 2 electronic components and 5 plastic items!]
Lin Xia was surprised to see such a person after witnessing this scene.
In such an environment, it's amazing that they could trust others so much.
Lin Xia smiled. Since everyone else was so generous, she naturally couldn't be stingy. She immediately sent over three pieces of hound meat.
"Qingci Zhujiu: Brother, I won't take advantage of you. You keep it, I'm going to explore the dungeon first!"
Uesugi: Okay, boss, be careful!
After completing those two transactions, Lin Xia scrolled through the private chat and area chat for a while to make sure no one else wanted to trade refined iron with him.
Lin Xia placed all her orders except for the refined iron trading order, leaving only one open.
After finishing all that, Lin Xia closed the chat and then spoke directly to Shuang Ruxue:
"We still have three more digging opportunities, so we'll have to trouble you a bit more. After all, in this kind of game, nobody knows what will happen next. It's more important to acquire more resources and improve our strength!"
Frost, like snow, naturally understood this principle as well.
"Where should we dig next?"
Lin Xia pointed to the top of the cave and handed Okamoto Saburo's shovel directly over.
After Shuang Ruxue took the shovel, she also began to work.
A passage was quickly dug above the underground cave.
Lin Xia and Shuang Ruxue also climbed straight in.
