Chapter 24 Boss Qi

While thinking about taming the beast, a message suddenly came from the "Mist Survival Manual".

Qi Yuan looked down and found that it was a message from Gao Hanzhi.

Gao Hanzhi: "Qi Yuan, you said yesterday that you wanted to find vines. I explored near the shelter today and collected some. I'll send them to you."

Along with the message, there were dozens of green vines as thick as a baby's arm.

Qi Yuan couldn't help but sigh that he was really blessed by the goddess of luck today. Gao Hanzhi's vines were just a timely help.

As soon as the trap was made, someone delivered the materials to the door.

Accepting the vines is indeed needed to make the trap.

Qi Yuan thanked: "You are thoughtful. I was just worried about the lack of materials."

After a few simple thanks, Qi Yuan sent 50 ml of spring water as a thank you.

At the same time, he asked: "Is your shelter still level 2? How are the materials collected? Can it be upgraded before the cold wave?"

After hesitating for a moment, the message came.

Gao Hanzhi: "The amount of wood is enough, but there are still more than 200 units of stone. It should be difficult to collect them in two days."

The upgrade of the shelter is what Gao Hanzhi is most worried about!

The environment is getting worse and worse, and the temperature has been below zero for a long time. If you don't upgrade to a level 3 shelter, you can imagine how difficult life will be in the future.

The importance of upgrading the shelter is very clear to any survivor, but only a few people can really complete the task easily.

Qi Yuan frowned and asked: "Is your pickaxe very bad? Or are there no stones around the shelter?"

Gao Hanzhi explained: "Both factors are involved. My shelter is in the swamp, there are relatively few stones around, and my pickaxe is only ordinary level."

Seeing this, Qi Yuan was also a little helpless.

If you want to talk about the worst birth point, the swamp is definitely one of them.

A rainy and humid environment will inevitably cause rheumatic bone pain if you stay there for a long time. It is definitely not a place suitable for long-term residence.

And because there is too much moisture in the air, it is even colder under low temperature conditions. At the same temperature, the body feels more than 5 degrees colder in the swamp.

The most important thing is that there might be a quagmire somewhere in the swamp, and if you step into it, you will be doomed.

Compared with the place where I was born, it is just a little barren, which is acceptable. The location of Gao Hanzhi's shelter is obviously worse.

However, Qi Yuan thought for a while and suddenly sent a message: "Is the soil next to your shelter fertile?"

"It's okay. I think it's quite soft, but the light here is very poor, which is not suitable for planting most crops."

Qi Yuan showed a clear look. The swamp is rich in vegetation, and most of the soil is leaf mold, which is a natural fertilizer.

"Mr. Gao, I will help you get the stones you are missing. Can you help me collect some soil in the next few days?"

"Collect soil?"

Gao Hanzhi was a little confused, but she understood Qi Yuan's needs after thinking about it.

Although she developed slowly, she had seen many similar needs in the chat channel.

Many survivors, after solving the problem of food, will seek a long-term and stable source of food, that is, planting and breeding.

So they will buy soil, various seeds, beast cubs and other items, and the price is not low.

Some time ago, there was a foreign survivor who spent a lot of money to buy a pair of rabbits.

Obviously, Qi Yuan is this kind of person.

"Well, you can help me collect some fertile soil and then trade it to me."

As if he felt that something was missing, Qi Yuan added another sentence.

"I can give you a meal!"

Gao Hanzhi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw this sentence: "Student Qi, your landlord has surplus food! Are you going to support me?"

When the message came, Qi Yuan was stunned at first, and then couldn't help but twitch his mouth: "Helping me do things, providing food but not accommodation, it can't be considered maintenance! At most it's a labor contract."

"Haha, okay, Boss Qi!"

Another secondary shelter in the swamp.

Gao Hanzhi couldn't help laughing, with a smile in her beautiful eyes. She had been in fear for so long since she came to the foggy world, and her spirit was always tense.

Now that she has an acquaintance to chat with, the pressure has been obviously relieved.

Qi Yuan did not treat his old classmate badly. He directly used 50ml of spring water to exchange for 200 units of stone in the trading market and traded it to Gao Hanzhi.

"You upgrade the shelter first. According to my observation, it is difficult to survive the cold weather if you don't upgrade to the third-level shelter before the cold wave." Qi Yuan reminded him by the way.

The insulation of the second-level shelter is too poor. Even with a fireplace, the indoor temperature is close to below zero, and it is difficult to survive.

"Okay, Boss Qi. Thank you!" Gao Hanzhi replied with a smile.

This made Qi Yuan a little stunned. In his impression, Gao Hanzhi was serious and had a very cold personality when he was in high school.

It seems that after experiencing the difficulties of the foggy world, people are more likely to open their hearts to each other.

No one can stubbornly say: I can live well alone and don't need others at all.

Most ordinary people, when they are afraid of pressure, are eager to find their own kind.

Qi Yuan can also understand this feeling. After all, when he first came to the foggy world, he was also shivering in the first-level shelter.

Qi Yuan replied with a smile: "You're welcome, Mr. Gao, work hard and find more fertile soil, in larger quantities."

"Okay, boss!"

"..."

After chatting with Gao Hanzhi, Qi Yuan felt a lot more relaxed and less stressed.

The next time was the time to visit the trading market.

There were too many people in the chat channel, and the screen was constantly refreshed. After watching for a while, I felt dizzy. So Qi Yuan visited the trading market most of the time.

As the cold wave approached, the prices of warm and food items in the trading market soared.

A cotton coat can cost more than 300 stones.

A piece of bread can cost 100 stones or wood.

And the prices are still rising, and the market has begun to collapse.

On the one hand, it is because of the large market demand. On the other hand, it is also because wood and stone have depreciated.

Before, because of the need to upgrade the shelter, wood and stone were hard currency.

But after reaching the third-level shelter, the system did not display the materials needed for the fourth-level shelter.

So for those who have reached the third-level shelter, the demand for wood and stone has decreased.

Relatively speaking, the prices of other items have also dropped significantly.

No matter how good the props are, they are not as practical as having a full meal.

Because food is really scarce.

Therefore, Qi Yuan's goal is to sweep up some props of good quality, preferably those that have long-term significance for future development.

Soon, he found an item among the vast number of high-quality items.

[Name: Basement (good)

Function: Build a 20-square-meter basement with a ventilation system.

Introduction: It is a bit dark due to insufficient lighting. ]

A prop similar to a fence that can expand the area of ​​the shelter, and it is still underground.

Compared with the ground, the underground insulation effect is obviously better, more hidden, and more suitable for living. It's just that the lighting problem needs to be solved, otherwise life will be very inconvenient.

But these are minor problems.

Qi Yuan looked at the price and found that the seller needed food and clothes, which made him feel a little distressed.

Qi Yuan was unwilling to take out these strategic-level materials. No one knew how long the cold wave would last, and the more food, the better.

Finally, Qi Yuan sent 100ml of spring water to test it out.

But the man did not reply immediately. Qi Yuan continued to browse other products.
