Chapter 6: Great Harvest, Crossbow Blueprint
Looking at the dense death information on the regional channel, Zhang Tuohai couldn't help but feel a chill on his back.
Behind every piece of death information, there is the passing of a living life.
Before the first day was over, nearly half of the people in the regional channel had died.
After the seventh day of disaster, how many people will remain?
Zhang Tuohai no longer dared to imagine it.
At the same time, he was extremely grateful that he had obtained the prompt system.
Otherwise, he would have been killed by the endless traps.
The sun sank below the horizon and the sky darkened.
The night in the other world was a little strange. There was no moon and the stars were very rare. The road was pitch black and nothing could be seen beyond ten meters.
Zhang Tuohai wanted to turn on the headlights, but found that this broken car didn't even have headlights.
Zhang Tuohai didn't know what to say anymore.
He didn't dare to discredit this vision.
Moreover, the game prompts at the beginning also said that driving at night can be dangerous.
Since it is so dangerous during the day, one can imagine how terrifying it would be if the danger could be specifically reminded by the game system.
Zhang Tuohai decided to sleep in the car at night and search for supplies tomorrow.
He opened a bucket of instant noodles, but because there was no boiling water, Zhang Tuohai could only eat the noodles dry.
Crush the dough, sprinkle with half a bag of seasoning and shake well.
“Just think of it as a reminiscence of childhood.”
While eating noodles, Zhang Tuohai opened the regional channel to see what .
"I'm dying of thirst. I've been searching for supplies for a whole day, but all I can find are rubber and metal parts. There's not even a drop of water. If anyone has water, I'm willing to trade all my resources for it."
"Wake up, look at the terrain around you. It's a desert! Even a fool knows that the most scarce resource in the desert is water. No one will sell water. Let's wait and see if we can find water tomorrow."
"I'll tell you something very useful. If you don't have water, you can drink urine. If you produce and sell it yourself, it can last for two days."
"Do you think I don't want to? You need a container to drink urine. How can I drink it if I don't even have a bottle?"
"Bottle? I have one, but I can't give it to you for free. You have to exchange it with resources."
Seeing the information in the forum, Zhang Tuohai was moved.
Many people who are still active in the regional channels have some supplies to a greater or lesser extent.
What they lack most is water resources.
I can take advantage of this opportunity to use water to exchange all the resources in their hands.
Thinking of this, Zhang Tuohai took the one-liter bottle of mineral water in his hand and asked with his mind: "Can a whole bottle of water be split and sold?"
"Sure." The game platform answered straightforwardly.
It's fine if it can be split.
Zhang Tuohai put the one liter of mineral water on the exchange channel.
[Sell mineral water, 20 ml of mineral water in exchange for two resources, limited resources: metal parts, low-level rubber, metal fragments, metal ingots, glass. A total of 50 pieces, first come first served. ]
[Note: If you have special resources or drawings, please chat privately. ]
After hanging up, Zhang Tuohai returned to the regional channel and shouted: "Water can be bought in the trading channel, a total of 50 copies, brothers with resources, hurry up."
Zhang Tuohai's voice caused a sensation on the regional channel.
" What do you mean someone is really selling water?"
"Why do you have to use resources to buy it? How about using money? I'll give you 10,000 in cash plus a Rolex."
"Why do you have to limit the resources? Can I use plastic scraps and weeds to exchange? After all, they are from the supply boxes."
"Brother, do you have anything to eat? I haven't eaten for a day. I have 20 units of wood. Just give me a loaf of bread."
There was a lot of noise in the regional channel.
However, although there was a lot of noise in the regional channel, these people were not slow at all and soon a liter of water was sold out.
Zhang Tuohai sorted out his harvest.
He obtained a total of 36 units of metal fragments, 28 units of low-grade rubber, 28 units of metal parts, 6 units of glass, and 2 units of metal ingots.
Combined with the remaining resources he had accumulated, it was enough for him to make the lightweight tires.
Even the resources for upgrading the second-level water collector have been saved up for the most part. All that's missing are 6 metal ingots and a key manufacturing blueprint to upgrade the water collector to level 2.
Seeing that the water was sold out, people in the channel started shouting.
"Brother, do you have any more water? Please sell me some more. I was too slow and didn't get any."
"That's right. Sell a little more. Can I give you 30% of your resources?"
"I have 6 units of wood, all for you, plus a piece of authentic lace, and just give me a glass of water, please."
Zhang Tuohai directly blocked these messages and only left one sentence: "Sold out today, if you want to buy, please come early tomorrow." He did not reply anymore.
Some of those who failed to buy water were begging on the channel, while others were cursing.
Looking at all this confusing information, Zhang Tuohai shook his head and prepared to withdraw from manufacturing lightweight tires.
At this moment, a private message happened to be delivered.
The writer of the letter is an old acquaintance, Su Mu.
"Is there any water and food? I don't have any resources, but I have a blueprint."
[Hand Crossbow Production Blueprint: Level 1 weapon, range 50 meters, requires 2 units of metal ingots, 10 units of metal fragments, 8 units of metal parts, and 8 units of low-level rubber.]
[Note: After making a hand crossbow, 10 crossbow arrows will be equipped. If you need new crossbow arrows please find the crossbow arrow production drawings to make them.]
When Zhang Tuohai saw the drawings, he had an idea.
This world is not as safe as the original world, and a weapon for self-defense is very necessary.
More importantly, he has all the resources needed to make a crossbow, and he can make it as soon as he gets the blueprint.
He looked at the water collector.
800 ml of water has been collected in it.
"I'll give you 300 ml of water and a tea egg," Zhang Tuohai replied.
"This is too little. It will take at least 1 liter of water, 6 tea eggs, and 6 loaves of bread." Su Mu replied dissatisfiedly.
Seeing Su Mu's reply, Zhang Tuohai smiled and said, "That's impossible. No one can afford so many supplies right now, and I'm the only one who can afford it. I guess you've asked a lot of people with this blueprint, and they definitely can't offer as much as I do. At most, 400 milliliters of water and 1 tea egg, no more."
Seeing Zhang Tuohai's reply, Su Mu's fingers froze.
It was indeed as Zhang Tuohai said. Her blueprint had been on the trading channel for a long time. Many people asked for the price, but no one was willing to offer food in exchange.
"But this amount of food is not enough to fill me up. I need at least two more loaves of bread. One blueprint must be exchanged for a full meal." Su Mu tried to protest.
"I don't have any bread now. If you are willing to wait, I will find some bread tomorrow and exchange it with you."
Zhang Tuohai looked at the only bucket of instant noodles and a sausage left beside him and said.
Although the crossbow is good, food is obviously more important.
After seeing Zhang Tuohai's reply, Su Mu looked at his sister who had turned pale due to weakness, gritted his teeth and made a decision.
"I can give you the blueprint first, but you have to give me water and tea eggs first, and also give me three breads tomorrow." Su Mu bit his lip and sent the message.
After seeing the news, Zhang Tuohai was slightly stunned.
Judging from the information, he guessed that Su Mu had reached the end of his rope, otherwise, he would not have proposed such mortgage conditions.
"Okay, but I'm not sure I can find bread of equal value. Other foods will be fine too, right?" Zhang Tuohai asked.
"Of course, I hope you can keep your word." Su Mu posted the crossbow blueprint on the transaction interface.
Zhang Tuohai hung up water and tea eggs.
The deal is done.
Zhang Tuohai obtained the blueprint of the crossbow.
