Chapter 8, Hard Currency? What is a Stone!
an area approximately the size of 14 football fields
In the face of the envy, slander, desperate pleas, and temptations from the crowd, Lin Yue merely observed silently, his heart remaining utterly unperturbed
In fact, saying that it is rare is not entirely accurate
As for the exchange rate between the two...
8907
Upon returning to the cabin, Lin Yue closed the door and let out a sigh
Lin Yue looked around the entire shelter
If this world were to allocate each person to an area based on this average, then each individual would have approximately 130 acres of land.
Auction item: 300 milliliters of purified water
Is the speed fast
Yesterday's experience made him realize how terrifying mutated creatures can be
Seller: Lin Yue
Excluding those elderly, children, and others who do not possess much survival capability, the total should be around one-third. Lin Yue recalled having seen a figure indicating that if the land area of the Earth were to be evenly distributed among every individual, it would amount to approximately 45 mu per person
After drinking the last sip of water from the bottle, Lin Yue climbed down from the ladder and jumped to the ground
I beg you, I am having a hard time, Lin Yue, please give me some water
After he locked that giant locust inside yesterday, the impact was so strong that it caused the wooden house to tremble incessantly
Humans are social animals
From the large amount of feces behind those houses, it can be inferred that those mutated creatures move towards the direction of this refuge, which they do not actively approach during the day, at night
Report, I changed it last time, the farmer's three punches are a bit sweet, definitely not by the riverside or lakeside
Under the scorching sun, the temperature is continuously rising at this moment
The amount of stone extracted is actually quite substantial, but nearly one hundred percent of what can be mined is used for upgrading the shelters
However, the area he observed from the rooftop should be greater than this figure
Both the roof and the walls, as well as the main door, are made of solid wood, which is much sturdier compared to the previous dilapidated straw hut
The gentle breeze lifted Lin Yue's hair
Especially in this wondrous yet bizarre survival game, people are seeking solace in groups, filling the void in their hearts that they are reluctant to leave empty
In order to search for water and food, everyone thought of eliminating the mutated creatures to obtain treasure chests, but the drop rate of the treasure chests is astonishingly low
Seller's note: Auction, you know what I mean
Then naturally, the water is a bit harder
After all, from the beginning until now, in this span of more than a day, he has only encountered the more than 9,000 people within the group
In a short period of time, one thousand people have already died
The bodily fluids of small insects can corrode shoe soles; what would happen if a large insect were to come by
Recalling the distant black dots, Lin Yue suddenly felt that this refuge was not very secure.
Above the roof of the shelter, his figure was solitary and silent
This is the third time Lin Yue has sold water... altogether it amounts to 700 milliliters? Comparing people can be infuriating! Now, even if I have a drop of water, I split it in half to drink!
Moreover, one can rely on their imagination to create a ladder from wood, subsequently obtaining the design blueprint for the wooden ladder
How vast is this world
A simple comparison also made Lin Yue understand that stones are somewhat rarer than the other two items
There are approximately 3,000 messages related to the sale of wood, while there are over 1,900 messages concerning the sale of iron blocks. However, there are only about 700 messages regarding stone.
Upon opening the group panel, Lin Yue suddenly noticed that the number of total members in the upper right corner had significantly decreased again
Lin Yue opened the trading mall and browsed around.
Is it still the case that the distribution of people is not even, and is he the only unfortunate one who is farther away from his neighbor
He stored the ladder in his inventory, and a sense of doubt arose within him
If it were not for insects, which lack intelligence, but rather mutated beasts or mutated birds
Moreover, it is not just that
The shelter is definitely by the river or the lake. Speaking of which, those who have managed to buy water, please share your thoughts: is the water murky or clean?
At the highest point he could climb in this wasteland, he surveyed his surroundings, leaving no corner overlooked
That being said, the big shot has not spoken all this time; how did the water come about
This survival game is filled with countless mysteries
Trees can be felled to be transformed into timber, or one can simply replace the walls and roof with timber without any physical effort
The number of sellers is still considerable, but it is indeed much less compared to those selling wood and hay
Of course, if the secret is revealed, he will still receive a reward of endless exploitation that will not cease until death
Required: Stone materials
Humanity is facing a common disaster, yet until now it remains hidden and concealed, which is simply inhumane
However, he no longer thinks so now
Lin Yue believes that this issue needs to be addressed within the group for a solution
So, is this place larger than the Earth?
However, the desolate and barren wasteland, with its exposed yellow earth and sparse clumps of wild grass, almost filled his entire field of vision
Speaking of which, where did the green water go? I remember she sold a little bit of it
Sitting by the bedside, he contemplated a matter
The shelter is the safest place he can find at the moment
No food or water was seen in the wilderness; they seemed to exist only in treasure chests
Although it seems that there are currently no particularly formidable mutated creatures appearing, this is probably the "beginner's benefit" at the start of the survival game
The night is the most dangerous time in this world before disaster strikes, and those who did not reinforce their fragile huts faced severe punishment at night, perhaps suffering serious injuries, or perhaps being left with nothing but bones.
If it were before encountering that large locust, Lin Yue would have thought that this was simply too fast, excessively so.
Before he has truly experienced comfort himself, he does not need to consider the lives of others
If a big bug can do this, what if a stronger animal comes along? What if there is not just one?
With a delicate figure and a soft body, I originally had hundreds of rockets in the live broadcast room, Lin Yue, my dear brother, have you considered it? I only want water
No matter what is said, what lies ahead is an endless series of inquiries and doubts
From time to time, some slowly moving black dots appeared and disappeared among the licorice bushes. Lin Yue conservatively estimated that they were at least several hundred meters away from him.
Accompanied by a significant loss of physical strength, how many people have collapsed in the midst of battling mutated creatures, overwhelmed by fatigue, thirst, and hunger?
The group is still very lively
If wood is not suitable, then what about stone
According to the refugee manual, a total population of 7.8 billion has been transferred to this other world
Stone shelters are significantly more robust and durable than wooden shelters. This is a point that most people will not hesitate to choose when they see the option to upgrade to a stone shelter in the crafting panel
Lin Yue conducted a search.
But to be honest, it is not as sturdy as one might imagine
Therefore, in addition to water being a hard currency, stone is also considered a hard currency
Although Lin Yue did not wish to encounter anyone by chance, he still wanted to find some semblance of kindred spirits in this survival game that felt like the end of the world
Why is there no trace of a second refuge in such a vast area
Do not ask anymore, the profile picture has turned gray, it has long since cooled down
Who knows whom
