Xu Xin immediately traded three purple-level animal skins to Li Wenxi.

"Wow, I'm being rewarded!" Li Wenxi's message made Xu Xin laugh and cry.

It was not wrong for her to say so. Isn't this giving back to others? He had taken so many resources from Li Wenxi, and now he was finally giving some back.

"One for the backpack, one for the hidden cloak, and one for the strongman's belt. That's exactly three. I don't think I'm short of anything now."

"No, no, no! In fact, the backpack and the invisible cloak are enough. I don't think I need the Hercules belt."

"You should make one. You also need to improve your own combat capability to deal with some special situations."

"Okay, then I'll go find them now! Um, Xu Xin..."

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing! It's late, you should get some rest!"

Forehead…

It had indeed been dark for a long time, but that was because the nights were long now, and it was dark at four o'clock. Now it was only a little after eight o'clock in the evening.

It’s too early to rest at this point.

This little beauty, doesn't she want him to pass by again

Xu Xin shook his head. Now that the world channel is open, there are many important things to do, so he should deal with them first.

As for some things...

There's still time tomorrow.

At this time, Lou Feier sent a private message: "Um, I don't have a purple backpack, I need..."

Lou Feier was also in the group, but she didn't speak just now.

Oh, I almost forgot about her. She is indeed needed, as an important mission is coming up.

With abundant resources at hand, Xu Xin directly made a purple-level backpack, and then asked Wang Lei and Zhao Xiaochuan to make a special equipment each, and handed them over to Lou Feier.

Lou Feier: "Oh my god, the master is so generous! Three purple-level equipment!"

Xu Xin: "Just complete the task for me tomorrow."

After doing this, he opened his watch and clicked on the world channel.

"With everyone's help, I feel much more comfortable now! Thank you World Channel!"

"I didn't expect that there are ski equipment in the points mall. It's so powerful. Unfortunately, I don't have that many points."

"Don't you have even a few hundred points? Didn't you kill a few blood-marked creatures today?"

"Who dares to go out? It's lucky that those mutants didn't kill me. I'm only fit to shiver in the tree house..."

“… The elders in your area, won’t you share the Tree House Heavy Crossbow with us?” The person who said this was from District 188. Due to the mandatory anonymity, we don’t know who he is and can only see the district logo.

"Huh? The big bosses in our district? Almost all of them are dead. There are only about 60 people left in our area now. I haven't seen anyone share any weapons or armor. We survived the defense battle by luck. It's not like you in District 188, where you have so many big bosses to help you. I envy you!"

People from District 188 have already told people in other regions about the deeds of the Explorer Organization in their area. Now, people in those areas are all envious of the survivors from District 188.

"Oh, can we change districts? I want to go to District 188, or I can take refuge there... I can take dozens of people from our district with me..."

"It should be possible. Can't we parasitize? But we will lose some initiative."

"You can also come to our Jungle Area 1. Our Area 1 welcomes any survivors and we absolutely guarantee that we will not exploit you for parasitism."

"District 1 is not bad either. This area code sounds strong. District 1 is the second place now."

"Are you thinking of seeking refuge now? Isn't it good to be alive?"

"How can we survive? There are only a few dozen of us left. If we run into danger again and we can't contact or trade with others, the possibility of everyone dying is too high. More than 30 districts have already been wiped out. I feel like we will be the next..."

Everyone in the world channel has basically reached a consensus to coexist peacefully, share resources with each other, and survive together in this doomsday.

As for the previous voices talking about regional confrontation, they have disappeared. Perhaps the people in those regions also know that now the regions basically cannot meet each other except for those next door. Even if there is confrontation, there is no point. It is better to cooperate first.

Maybe in the future, we can do as the person just said, and the other party will directly surrender to us, so that we can defeat them without fighting.

Moreover, for the regions that rank higher, exchanging food and finished products for large amounts of materials is actually a way to enhance their own strength and weaken the strength of the other side.

This is actually what Xu Xin and Ji Chaoyang also thought.

Exploitation exists in every world.

Compared with other weaker regions, District 188 has too many advantages.

The first is Qi Xuefei’s pills.

Although I don't know what those powerful areas are like, from the discussions in the world channel, except for the survivors in Area 188 who mentioned that explorers distributed pills for curing diseases during the rainy season, other areas don't even have the concept of medicine. They only know that hemostatic grass can heal wounds.

Moreover, Qi Xuefei can also grow spices. The more powerful the region, the greater the demand for this thing. After all, people like Xu Xin who basically don't have to worry about survival will naturally pursue a better quality of life.

Secondly, it is Li Wenxi’s metal.

Although they were not going to release blue and purple metals, they could still release green metals. Judging from the current situation, things like iron ore were still very scarce in the market, and most people still used stone tools and wore leather armor.

However, he did not intend to sell the green-level metal, but he and Ji Chaoyang would process the metal and sell the finished product. After all, those who could use metal to make tools were those who had obtained the gold treasure chest during the jungle exploration activities. Such people were rare, and even in Area 188, there were only two people.

The market for metal armor and weapons is absolutely huge.

Other things, such as his and Ji Chaoyang's artworks, his alchemical products, and the special equipment that could be made over there, were not intended for sale. They haven't even supplied these things to the region yet, and there are not enough for the explorers.

Xu Xin immediately asked other explorers about the transaction, and they basically agreed with his opinion.

Ji Chaoyang: "I also think it's better to sell low-level pills and green-level iron equipment."

Qi Xuefei: "Low-level pill? Are you talking about the pill that caused two hours of weakness after taking it, which I eliminated?"

Xu Xin: "Yes, that thing, it seems that you don't need too many materials to make it?"

Qi Xuefei: "Indeed, that one is indeed suitable for mass production. Well... In fact, the advanced ones can also be mass-produced... Forget it, I will make more of those pills and sell them to people in other areas. I will keep these advanced ones for myself."

Ji Chaoyang: "There may not be anyone in other areas who can use the medicinal materials. You just happen to exchange them for a large amount at a high price. That kind of thing is useless to them. Most of them will be willing to exchange it with you for a pill that can cure the disease and save their lives."

Qi Xuefei: "I see. I just feel that there are too few people now, and it's too slow to grow medicinal herbs by ourselves."

Li Wenxi: "Do you need green-grade iron blocks? Take them, take them. I have too many green-grade iron blocks. I feel like the tree house can't bear the weight! Take them all quickly. Now I feel that green-grade iron ore is the byproduct of my bet on blue-grade iron blocks..."

There is a certain chance that high-level materials will appear in her furnace, and there is a certain chance that blue-level materials can be produced when smelting green-level iron blocks. So, green-level iron blocks are just a by-product of betting on blue-level iron blocks.

It seems that everyone else has no problems either.

When Xu Xin reached the third floor, Coco had already gone to the bedroom to sleep. Mimi, Yinwang and Afu were also asleep. It seemed that they were influenced by Coco.

When he reached the bedroom door, he immediately felt a peaceful and comfortable atmosphere, and his eyelids began to tremble.

But it was only eight or nine o'clock, and he didn't want to go to bed so early, so he immediately left the bedroom.

Coco's skills are still very strong.

He walked to the window and looked out.

The snow was already extremely dense, with countless snowflakes floating down from the sky, and a thick layer of snow had accumulated around the tree house.

The snow was so heavy, even heavier than last night’s. It was so heavy that he might turn into a snowman if he stood outside for just a dozen seconds.

I really don’t know how thick the snow will be on the ground tomorrow.

At this time, Li Wenxi sent him a transaction request.

He clicked it and saw, wow, there were five thousand green-grade iron blocks, five hundred green-grade steel blocks, eighty blue-grade iron blocks, eighty blue-grade steel blocks, and even three purple-grade steel blocks!

"It's useless in my hand and it takes up space, so I'll just give it to you!" Li Wenxi sent a video call. She was still lying on the sofa, but this time, she changed into a slightly more conservative set of pajamas.

"Did you send it to Ji Chaoyang as well?" Xu Xin asked.

"I only gave him green-level iron blocks. Didn't you say that you only sell green-level equipment?" Li Wenxi said, sitting up from the sofa.

Just send it out.

"Okay, you've worked hard. Take a rest now. I'm going to start making metal equipment."

"Well, okay..."

Xu Xin made another voice call to Ji Chaoyang to discuss the price issue.

They decided to sell the weapons first. After all, weapons were easier to test and determine their value than armor.

They planned to sell at a low price to the survivors in Area 188 and at a high price to areas outside Area 188.

Of course, in order to prevent the survivors in Area 188 from becoming scalpers, they will limit the purchase quantity for each survivor. If they still want to sell to other areas at a high price, then just sell it, because they will lose it anyway.

As for the outer areas, they plan to set the price at a large amount of basic resources, energy such as coal and charcoal, or a real blue-level resource that is not a blue-level fruit.

After all, the strength of green-level iron tools is basically equal to that of blue-level stone tools. What they are doing is basically equivalent to letting everyone use blue-level stone tools.

If Lou Feier had not been captured by Xu Xin, she would probably still be using a blue-level stone dagger. She was in the top ten of District 187!

Soon, Xu Xin used up most of the iron blocks sent by Li Wenxi, and the first wave of weapons was ready.

Some are listed on regional trading platforms, and some are listed on global trading platforms.

The world trading platform does not need to be anonymous. Neither Xu Xin nor Ji Chaoyang is anonymous.

Because the two are still ranked first and second on the world rankings, and District 188 is still overwhelmingly ranked first, their transaction information was pinned to the top and instantly occupied the most conspicuous position on the world trading platform.

Then, the world channel was boiling again.

"Shit, the big bosses from District 188 have taken action. They've started selling weapons! Iron weapons. Holy shit, are we entering the Iron Age?"

"My eyes are filled with tears. Looking at the stone tools in my hands, and then looking at the iron tools that the elders of District 188 have already started to mass-produce and sell to the whole world, I feel like a primitive man!"

"My God, this price is really good! It's much cheaper than the ironware sold on the trading platform in our area! District 188 is indeed District 188!"

"Hahaha, shit, this price is cheap. I really want to show you the prices of the ironware that we have on sale at the same time in area 188. They are simply dirt cheap, hahaha!"

“Don’t come and show off your superiority from District 188! I will definitely become a member of District 188 in the future! I will become a parasite in the tree house of Xu Xin or Ji Chaoyang, and I will step on your head and make you call me a tyrant!”

"Then come on over. If you come to Area 188, you can enjoy the treatment of buying an iron tool with two green-level resources~"

"What?"

“Fuck!”

"Isn't this just a free gift..."

"Mom, why am I not in Area 188!"

This was just a silhouette that occasionally appeared in the chats of tens of thousands of people in the regional channel. Xu Xin did not stop the people in District 188 from bragging to the outside world. They just wanted to create a contrast and make people from other districts feel that District 188 was very strong and worth joining.

This is also true.

However, one person among them caught Xu Xin's attention, the one who said that ironware on his regional trading platform was extremely expensive.

Although it was just a flash, Xu Xin still saw that he was from Jungle Area 45.

Xu Xin looked on the ranking list and found that Jungle Area 45 was ranked 13th among all areas, with 1,230 people remaining and only 9,852 points, which was less than ten thousand.

Since someone can make iron tools, someone must have discovered a gold treasure chest in this area.

The areas ranked higher than them should not be worse than them. So it seems that in at least a dozen areas, people have found gold treasure chests that can be used to make metal weapons.

It seems that iron ore has also been discovered in other areas, but the efficiency of mining is much lower than that of Li Wenxi, which is why he and Ji Chaoyang raised the price so high in other areas, and these people still feel conscientious.

This further strengthened his determination not to sell the raw materials.

Since technology cannot be monopolized, let’s monopolize raw materials and low costs.

"Hahaha, I've already bought it! I've heard that green-grade iron weapons are basically the same quality as blue-grade stone weapons! I'm now equivalent to someone who owns blue-grade weapons!"

"Ah? Equivalent to blue-grade quality? Damn, this price is too good! I... I? Sold out? Really? Your hands are too fast!"

"Xu Xin, Ji Chaoyang, are your prices disrupting the market?"

The last person Xu Xin saw was from Jungle Area 1. However, he was busy accepting a large amount of basic supplies and had no time to pay attention to him.

Moreover, now that the world's trading platforms are open, who cares about the market prices in your area

What surprised him was that among the materials he received, there were relatively few things like wood and stone, but more things like iron ore and medicinal materials.

After thinking about it, he understood.

Most of the people who bought his green-level weapons were ordinary people.

Now that winter has arrived, most people have used up all the stones they have in making fireplaces.

But they didn't dare to exchange wood because they didn't know how long this severe winter would last.

They don't have Xu Xin's coal mine, so the fireplace relies entirely on burning wood. It is too cold outside, making it more difficult to cut wood. Wood is now a scarce energy source.

Therefore, the first group of people who bought weapons without hesitation exchanged all the things they could not use, such as iron ore and medicinal materials, for a weapon of the same quality as a blue-level stone tool to improve their survivability.

Even though the blue-level stone tool was a weapon that Xu Xin had abandoned a long time ago, he had used it to kill intermediate-level mutant creatures! Therefore, the strength of the blue-level stone tool was still no problem.

What surprised Xu Xin the most was that he actually saw copper ore among these resources!

"What?" His eyelids twitched.

Has anyone else found copper ore

He immediately searched for the copper ore transaction in the transaction information and soon found it.

It's an anonymous person.

Because he set the exchange rate to be fifty green-level resources for a weapon, this person used twenty-three pieces of stone (green) and twenty-seven pieces of copper ore (green) to buy an iron spear he made!

Judging from the number, he definitely did not have enough stones, so he used copper ore to make up for it!

Xu Xin immediately sent him a private message.

Sorry, the function of private messaging with survivors from other zones is not yet enabled.

I'm so...

Xu Xin took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

Who is this person

In his impression, copper mines can only be found under water at a depth of 40 meters.

Could this person also dive forty meters underwater

No, the water depth of forty meters is only the location of the copper mine on his side. It does not mean that other places are also underwater. After all, no copper ore was found underwater on Qin Yunlong and Qin Yunhu's side.

But at least it showed that the person who traded with him had found a copper mine! A copper mine that even Li Wenxi hadn't found!

And judging from the fact that he didn't even have enough stones and needed copper ore to exchange for green-level weapons, he shouldn't be a strong man! His copper mine must not be as dangerous as Xu Xin's!

Xu Xin immediately wanted to ask on the world channel who had just traded the copper mine, but after thinking about it, he did not ask.

There are more than 80,000 people in the world channel, and anonymity is enforced. Now is a time when there are many people and many opinions, so if he asks, his question will be instantly blocked.

Moreover, if this person is targeted by someone with ulterior motives, he may be poached by others, especially those in the same district.

I can only see if I can find him the next time I trade.

What a pity, why can't people from other regions send private messages...

At this moment, Li Wenxi suddenly sent a message: "Xu Xin, are you there?"

Xu Xin put all the resources into his backpack and replied, "What's wrong?"

"It seems safe now. Can I go play with you?"

Want to play with him

Xu Xin's eyelids twitched.

It's late at night, and you want to ask him to come and play

"Come if you want, I'm just done with my work."

"Then I'll come over to play with you now!"

Soon, after about ten seconds, he heard the sound of a portal coming from outside.

… Is this true or false

This is... delivered to my door
