Chapter 3 Intelligence and Water Collector Construction
After putting away the third batch of supplies, Zhang Tuohai returned to the car.
This time he did not set off immediately.
After driving for two hours straight and searching for supplies, he was exhausted and needed to rest for a while.
Taking advantage of this time, Zhang Tuohai closed his eyes and opened the game interface, ready to see how the half bottle of mineral water he had put up for sale was selling.
After summoning the game panel, Zhang Tuohai was shocked. Hundreds of people came to him to communicate.
The number of private messages has already reached 99+.
"Master, where did you get the mineral water?"
"I'm dying of thirst, can you give me a bottle of water? I can be sweet or salty."
"Give me the water, and I'll give you 1 million yuan."
Zhang Tuohai took a look and found that most of the private messages were worthless information, so he deleted them directly.
There are also a small number of people who have obtained some resources and want Zhang Tuohai to lower the price.
But the resources they have are too few.
It does not match Zhang Tuohai’s psychological price.
Fortunately, Zhang Tuohai is not worried about not being able to sell his water.
On this road surrounded by deserts on both sides, water is the most precious resource and no one would complain about having too much water.
At worst, we can wait until night time, someone will have accumulated enough resources.
Just when Zhang Tuohai was about to close the game panel and continue on his journey to look for supplies, suddenly a new private message came in.
"Hello, I have the relevant resources, but the quantity is not enough. However, I have other things that can be used to make up the difference. Can you discuss it in detail?"
“How many resources are there?”
Zhang Tuohai replied with a private message.
"Broken glass 5 units, metal fragments 6 units, metal parts are relatively few, only 3 units."
The other party replied very quickly.
Fortunately, it is enough to build the water collector.
Zhang Tuohai breathed a sigh of relief.
Now that the basic goal has been achieved, Zhang Tuohai has made up his mind to finalize the deal.
Now the only thing left to see is how much more the other party is prepared to pay to make up the difference.
"What are you going to do to fill the gap?"
Zhang Tuohai rubbed his hands and asked.
The other party sent a screenshot.
【Lightweight tire manufacturing drawings: Level 1 tire manufacturing drawings. 】
[Requirements: 20 units of low-grade rubber, 20 units of metal fragments, 16 units of metal parts. ]
【Effect: Reduce fuel consumption by 30%. 】
When Zhang Tuohai saw this drawing, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Lightweight tires don't seem to be a survival resource and are of little use to our current situation.
But in the long run, this is definitely a magical artifact.
You know, at the beginning each of them only had 200 units of gasoline.
How long can these 200 units of gasoline last?
Based on a cruising speed of 30 miles per hour, it can only drive for about seven hours.
If new gasoline is not replenished within these seven hours, the car will be unable to move.
In a place like this, being unable to move is equivalent to a slow death.
Reducing fuel consumption by 30% is equivalent to more than two hours of exploration time compared to others.
A supply box could mean the difference between life and death, let alone two hours.
It can be said that the earlier you use this kind of thing, the greater the benefit.
It's a sure win business.
"Sure." Zhang Tuohai suppressed the joy in his heart and replied to the message.
"You should know the value of this blueprint. If my sister hadn't been injured, I would never have given it to you. You must add some medical resources to treat the trauma, otherwise I cannot agree to this deal."
A long string of messages came back quickly.
Seeing the reply from the other party, Zhang Tuohai tapped his fingers lightly on the steering wheel, calculating the pros and cons of the transaction.
He has the medical resources to treat injuries.
Moreover, with the reminder system, he can easily avoid those risks and basically won't get hurt.
Then, this roll of bandage will most likely become dust in his hands.
It is very cost-effective to use for trading.
However, there was a piece of information in the other party's reply that interested him.
"You mentioned your sister just now. How did you get in touch? Were you with her? Was it the same car or two cars? How was she injured? If you can tell me these, I can make a deal with you."
In order to make his words more persuasive, Zhang Tuohai also took a photo of the hemostatic bandage and sent it over.
[Hemostatic bandage: used to bandage wounds. The bandage is coated with medicine, which can reduce inflammation and sterilize, and promote wound healing. ]
After the message was sent, the other side fell silent.
However, Zhang Tuohai is not worried that the transaction will be affected.
Because medical resources are the third most important resource after food and water.
Except for myself who has a warning system to avoid risks, no one can guarantee that I will not get hurt.
A medical resource is a talisman that can save your life at a critical moment.
Zhang Tuohai believes that, at least at this stage, no one will sell it.
Taking advantage of this gap, Zhang Tuohai looked at the name of the person who sent him the message.
It’s a girl named Su Mu, who looks very young.
Sure enough, just as Zhang Tuohai expected, the other party sent a reply three minutes later.
"Actually, it's no big deal to tell you all this. My sister and I were selected into the game at the same time. Fortunately, we were not far from each other and successfully reunited. These supplies were gathered by the two of us. My sister was injured by the explosives inside when she opened a supply box. The manufacturing drawings of this lightweight tire came from that box."
"It was actually an explosion." Zhang Tuohai was also shocked when he heard Su Mu's explanation.
He originally thought that the danger in the supply box was just a mad dog or a big rat, but he didn't expect there would be an explosion.
If we are not careful, won’t it cost someone’s life?
At the same time, Zhang Tuohai felt deeply lucky. If he had not been bound to the reminder system, he would have been defeated in front of the big rat's box.
"Can I ask what color the box is?" Zhang Tuohai asked.
"Level 2 supply box, blue." Su Mu replied.
"Is it true that the higher the level of the supply box, the greater the danger it contains?" Zhang Tuohai wrote down this guess and then made a deal with Su Mu.
I used half a bottle of water and a roll of tourniquet to exchange for the resources to make a water collector and the production drawings of lightweight tires.
After the transaction was completed, Zhang Tuohai immediately went to the manufacturing page.
[Blueprint detected: Level 1 water collector, lightweight tire. ]
[The materials for manufacturing the Level 1 water collector are complete. Would you like to manufacture it? 】
"manufacture!"
Accompanied by a buzzing sound, the drawings and resources turned into a pool of liquid and disappeared. A moment later, something like a water bottle appeared in Zhang Tuohai's hand.
[Level 1 water collector, can collect 1-2 liters of pure water every 24 hours. Fluctuates according to external environment. Placed in the car to take effect. Upgradable. ]
[Upgrade materials: 1 Level 2 water collector production diagram, 8 units of metal ingots, 4 units of metal parts, 4 units of glass. ]
