Chapter 2: First Outing
[Today's weather]
Today is a sunny day!
The best choice for going out to collect supplies.
Daytime duration: six hours
Weather: Sunny
Temperature: 12-18℃
Climate trend: The cold wave is coming, pay attention to collect enough supplies for the winter, and keep warm!
The temperature during the day has risen a lot, more than ten degrees higher than at night.
It is daytime now, and more than ten minutes have passed.
It shows that there are still five hours and forty-five minutes of daytime.
Qi Yuan did not rush to go out.
But he took out the "Mist Survival Manual" to check if there are other people who have left the shelter.
By the way, also take a look at the information needed to upgrade the shelter. Although I saw it yesterday, I need to confirm it again.
Shelter: Level 1 wooden house (ten square meters)
"It is difficult to shelter from the wind and rain in a dilapidated wooden house. Upgrade your shelter as soon as possible!"
Level 1 shelter facilities: none
Shelter upgrade: 0/100 wood
0/50 stone
Seeing that there are no facilities in the level 1 shelter, Qi Yuan shook his head helplessly.
If the level of the shelter cannot be upgraded, then we can only live in the broken wooden house forever.
The goal of these days is very clear: collect wood and stone.
Upgrading the shelter should be the first problem faced by everyone.
Just as Qi Yuan thought, the chat channel began to become lively again.
"I... I am going to freeze to death... This broken wooden house is too simple and it is leaking!"
"I am so hungry! I haven't eaten for two days! Who has food?!"
"Who has food? I will exchange it for 200,000!"
"The person above, what are you kidding? Everyone is poor at this time, how can I give you food?"
"Don't say 200,000, it's useless even if you have 2000,000! Do you think you can go back?"
"..."
"I wanted to build a fire to keep warm, but I found that there are no facilities in the level 1 shelter!"
"Brother, this tells us that the first The task is to improve the level of the cabin!"
"What else can I say? There are only six hours in the day, why don't you hurry up and go out and chop trees?"
"Hey brothers, I've been chopping for ten minutes!"
"Fuck, it's already rolled up?"
"Thank you, brothers! I've always been worried that it would be dangerous to leave the cabin, thank you for trying for me. Since there is no danger, I'll go out and chop trees too!"
"Old cunt!!!"
"Hurry up, hurry up, it's only six hours, everyone hurry up!!!"
...
Qi Yuan didn't look at it much, just a simple understanding of the situation in the "World Chat Channel".
Close the "Mist Survival Manual" and carry it with you to prevent it from falling, and stuff it directly into the inner pocket of your clothes.
Pick up the novice prop on the table: stone axe.
Pick up the stone axe and display the information of the stone axe:
Name: Ordinary stone axe (item level: ordinary < good < excellent < rare...)
The most rudimentary axe, barely chopping wood, takes a long time, consumes a lot of energy, and is easily damaged.
Qi Yuan was helpless and couldn't help but want to complain.
This stone axe is as simple as it can be, but it is better than nothing.
Qi Yuan took the "Mist Survival Manual" and the stone axe and closed the door of the wooden house.
The environment outside is very good. There is a dense grassland in sight and a verdant forest not far away.
Looking further away, there is a thick layer of white fog, which makes it impossible to see clearly.
This is mentioned in the "Mist Survival Manual".
There is no fog within a radius of 300 meters from the shelter, and it is relatively safe.
300 meters to 2000 meters belongs to the mist area, and the vision is reduced, but it can still be explored. However, the danger is increased.
And beyond 2000 meters, it belongs to the dense fog area.
The dense fog area is full of heavy fog, and the visibility is almost zero.
And the danger of the dense fog area is extremely increased.
So for most people, the explorable area is only 2000 meters.
Of course, this range is not constant.
With the upgrade of the shelter, both the fog-free area and the mist area will expand.
In summary, everything is centered on upgrading the wooden house.
…
Qi Yuan walked carefully into the lush grass.
The weeds were almost ankle-high, the dew rubbed on his feet, and his trouser legs were wet.
Seeing the dew on the ground, Qi Yuan was actually tempted, after all, he had not drunk water all night.
But considering that it would take too much time to collect it, he gave up for the time being.
Moving forward, the weeds were not very high, but Qi Yuan still walked very carefully.
It was the first time to walk in the foggy world, so no matter how careful you are, it is not too much.
The tree was not far away, and it took only a few minutes to walk there.
Without hesitation, Qi Yuan tried to chop the tree directly to judge the difficulty of obtaining wood.
The efficiency of resource acquisition is very important.
The blunt stone axe chopped the tree, leaving a not-so-deep cut.
Qi Yuan felt very strenuous.
At this efficiency, how long will it take to collect 100 units of wood?
The sound of "bang bang" echoed in the woods.
It took about fifteen minutes to chop down a tree.
One tree collected 6 units of wood.
It was difficult for Qi Yuan to swing the stone axe continuously for 15 minutes.
After chopping down each tree, he had to rest for a while.
It took nearly an hour to chop down only three trees.
18 units of wood were piled aside. Qi Yuan planned to take a break and transport the wood to the cabin first.
According to this work efficiency, it is difficult to upgrade the cabin to level 2 within one day.
It is impossible to collect even 100 units of wood, not to mention 50 units of stone.
There are only six hours in the day, and there are many things to do in these six hours, and they cannot be used to cut trees.
The most important thing is food and water!
If you can't replenish your physical strength as soon as possible, you will soon starve to death in this foggy world.
The second is the problem of keeping warm!
I have seen the cold weather last night, and this is before the cold current comes.
Once the cold current comes, the temperature will definitely drop to an incredible level.
Qi Yuan must find suitable warm items before the weather gets cold.
The first thing to collect wood is to consider the time consumed by cutting trees.
If the wood is collected quickly enough, the shelter will be upgraded as soon as possible.
But now it seems that upgrading the shelter cannot be completed in a short time, so the goal is immediately changed.
Qi Yuan plans to transport this batch of wood back to the cabin, and then solve the food problem first.
...
After transporting the wood back to the cabin, Qi Yuan is on the road again.
The forest where the trees were just cut was to the east of the cabin, and no edible food was seen along the way.
This time Qi Yuan planned to go north.
However, as soon as he walked out of the cabin, he was attracted by a metallic light in the grass in front.
If I am not mistaken, this is a bronze box!
Resource box? ! !
Qi Yuan was immediately surprised and couldn't help pinching himself hard to make sure he was not dreaming.
After making sure there was no danger around, Qi Yuan ran over quickly.
This kind of resource box was introduced in the "Mist Survival Manual".
In the world of Mist Survival, in addition to manually collecting resources, there is another way to obtain precious resources.
That is the resource box!
Resource boxes are randomly refreshed and distributed in every corner of the mist world.
And there are different qualities, the higher the quality, the smaller the quantity.
(Resource box quality: wooden resource box < bronze resource box < silver resource box < gold resource box...)
The resource box contains various materials needed for survival.
For example, food, water, seeds, tools, wood, stone, prop manufacturing drawings, etc. ...
Items like drawings can be obtained through normal collection, but the probability is very low.
The main way to obtain them is the resource box.
And the items in the resource box are generally of high quality and rarity.
Restraining his excitement, Qi Yuan hurriedly picked up the resource box from the weeds.
The resource box is not big, and the light blue bronze luster is particularly eye-catching.
According to the "Mist Survival Manual", the probability of wooden resource boxes appearing is relatively high.
The higher the level of the resource box, the lower the probability of appearance.
Originally, Qi Yuan only expected to pick up a wooden resource box.
Unexpectedly, his luck was so good that he picked up a bronze resource box as soon as he went out.
You know, this is only the first day of survival.
At present, there are only two qualities of resource boxes in the entire mist world: wooden resource boxes and bronze resource boxes.
And the number is extremely rare, and it is not necessarily discovered when it appears.
Not to mention the even rarer bronze resource boxes.
Qi Yuan opened the bronze resource box with trepidation.
A green light diffused from the box.
Qi Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, but still couldn't bear to look away, staring at the inside of the box.
The green light dissipated, revealing the items in the box.
There were three things in total.
The first was an iron pickaxe.
With a thought, the information of the pickaxe appeared in front of him.
Name: Iron Pickaxe (Good)
"A good quality iron pickaxe, without any other bonus, used for mining ore."
This iron pickaxe is not that good, just one level higher than the ordinary stone axe.
This is also normal!
Because the bronze resource box will most likely only open three qualities of items: ordinary, good, and excellent.
Opening good quality is normal, and excellent quality is a burst of luck.
If a bunch of ordinary-level items are opened, then you can only consider yourself unlucky.
After receiving the iron pickaxe, Qi Yuan then reached out and picked up a light ball.
This is a light ball similar to a transparent glass ball.
A small and exquisite item appeared inside the light ball.
With a thought, the information emerged.
[Name: Flowerbed (good)
"For indoor planting, can increase the growth rate of seeds
Ordinary seeds: increase by 10%
Good seeds: increase by 5%"]
This is a flowerbed item that can increase the growth rate of seeds by a small amount, although the increase is not much.
But for survivors who can only live in wooden houses, this is definitely a rare good thing.
Qi Yuan was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.
Such an unexpected gain has rapidly improved Qi Yuan's survival ability.
Even if he doesn't use it himself, he can sell it on the trading platform and get a lot of supplies.
However, the iron pickaxe and the flowerbed are both needed in the near future, so Qi Yuan will naturally not sell them.
The last item is a scroll.
"Is this the item manufacturing scroll mentioned in the "Mist Survival Manual"? "Qi Yuan muttered to himself.
Unlike the flowerbed that has been made, it will be gone after it is used up.
With a manufacturing scroll, you can always have the manufacturing method.
Whether it is an already made item or a manufacturing scroll, each has its own advantages.
Although the flowerbed is useless if it is damaged, it does not need to be made by yourself, which reduces labor costs and material collection time.
Although the manufacturing scroll can be used for a long time, it is very troublesome to collect the materials for making it.
Qi Yuan did not hesitate and opened the last item.
As expected by Qi Yuan, this is indeed a manufacturing scroll.
[Name: Healing Potion Manufacturing Scroll (Good)
Materials: 2 tree roots
1 blood and flesh essence
50ml pure water
Used to treat minor injuries, such as colds, fevers, traumatic wounds, etc. Can be taken orally or applied externally. ]
Qi Yuan showed a surprised expression on his face!
In surviving in the wild, starvation is not the most terrible thing.
The most terrible thing is disease!
It is very likely that a minor cold or a minor wound will develop into an incurable disease.
With a population base of 7 billion, there will definitely be a lot of people who are accidentally injured.
The healing potion will definitely not have a problem with sales.
The only troublesome thing is the production materials.
Tree roots are easier to understand. Just dig out the roots when cutting down trees.
Pure water is also relatively easy to obtain.
Although no water source has been found yet, it will not be too difficult to obtain water, otherwise most people will not be able to survive.
What bothers Qi Yuan the most is the "blood and flesh essence".
Qi Yuan has never even heard of it.
However, based on the name, it is likely to be obtained from animals.
There is no food to fill the stomach, let alone meat.
The matter of making healing potions can only be postponed.
The most important thing now is to find food and water sources.
