Xu Xin was silent for a while, then said, "Anyway, what we should be thinking about now is the next beast tide riot. It's too early to consider these things now."
"Yes, actually what I want to say is that if possible, without harming your own interests, try to help others. All those who survive may be a force for the future."
"Then why didn't you tell the survivors during this activity that collecting other supplies would also be counted towards the resource ranking?"
"You said this time, 50 people are going to die anyway, why should we help them? The best outcome is that 50 of the stupidest people die."
Xu Xin likes Ji Chaoyang's personality a little bit.
Although he seems a little inhumane, he can always make the best choice for the collective interest. This may be a natural leader.
After exchanging some information, the two hung up the video call.
From him, Xu Xin learned that the survivors ranked second to tenth on the list also received a watch, but their watches were not as fully functional as Xu Xin's. They could only be used for communication, calls, video calls, and viewing information, but could not be used for production, and even material transactions could not be carried out through the watches.
After all, Xu Xin got a purple-level watch, and they were all blue-level. But even blue-level ones were very convenient. Once the organization was established, all members of the organization could communicate anytime and anywhere.
The organization's affairs will be handed over to him. Xu Xin can help ask Li Wenxi.
After reading the private messages, Xu Xin's head was about to explode. There were thousands of private messages that he could not keep up with. Most of them were useless requests for flattery and resources, and some even used moral blackmail. Some people even initiated voice and video calls to him.
He quickly set the settings to allow only Li Wenxi and Ji Chaoyang to send him voice and video messages.
Li Wenxi was found among a bunch of private messages. She still hadn't responded to the message Xu Xin sent her about the iron ore transaction.
Coco was still curled up in bed, taking a nap.
Xu Xin leisurely sat down beside the grill, threw wood into the fireplace, and comfortably enjoyed a sumptuous dinner of bear meat and lotus root.
"Let's go down and plant those two kinds of trees." After eating and drinking, Xu Xin was ready to do something.
Xu Xin took fertilizer and two bags of seeds, went down from the tree house, and went to the land he had opened before.
There were a lot of seeds in the bag, but Xu Xin had no idea how many there were, just like no one knew how many melon seeds were in a bag.
It’s enough anyway.
"Let's try the effect of fertilizer first." Xu Xin buried a birch seed in the soil, and a few seconds later a small seedling slowly emerged from the soil. This is the normal growth rate of the seed, and it can grow into a big tree in ten days.
He looked at the fertilizer in his hand.
Natural organic fertilizer (green): A fertilizer that can transform poor soil (white) into ordinary soil (green). Sprinkling it on ordinary soil (green) can speed up the growth of plants. 50 portions remaining.
This bag of fertilizer only contained 50 portions. Xu Xin carefully sprinkled it slowly on the seedling.
The fertilization was successful and the birch tree growth time was shortened to 10 hours.
Shortened so much?!
Xu Xin was a little surprised. He thought it would be a good deal if he could shorten the time by half, but he didn't expect that ten days could be reduced to ten hours.
It's not even seven o'clock in the evening, which means he can harvest new materials early tomorrow morning.
"This fertilizer is really good stuff. I wonder if anyone is selling it." Xu Xin immediately opened his watch and began searching for information on the trading platform.
Unfortunately, no one has put fertilizer up for sale yet. Instead, a lot of people are exchanging green materials for the wolf meat he had put on the shelf. Xu Xin picked out some stones and a few scattered green iron ores to complete the transaction.
"The tree house's automatic weapons require thin wood, while the defensive facilities require round wood, so let's split it in half for now." Xu Xin planted thirty birch trees and thirty pine trees on the open space, and then spread fertilizer.
Including the previous one, Xu Xin spread twenty portions of fertilizer on ten birch trees and ten pine trees.
"Based on the poplar trees, each tree should produce five logs or fir logs. If there are ten of each, that means fifty new materials each. We can harvest them tomorrow morning, which is definitely enough for me. I'll just use the fertilizer sparingly for now."
They also made a simple wooden fence to enclose the saplings. Xu Xin looked at the results of his labor and nodded with satisfaction.
Suddenly, Xu Xin's watch vibrated. He looked down and saw that it was a video sent by Li Wenxi.
"Wow! Xu Xin, you are really a big shot! You are actually number one in the whole district! Number one! Better than that Ji Chaoyang!" On the small screen projected on the watch, Li Wenxi was exhausted, with some dust on her ear-length hair, and her expression was very excited.
Sure enough, just as Xu Xin expected, he called himself as soon as he came back and saw the ranking.
"Aren't you also fourth? I didn't expect you to be so strong." Xu Xin replied with a smile.
"Oh, it's because I'm... lucky!" Li Wenxi touched his head embarrassedly, "Unlike you real big guys, you can even find the golden treasure chest."
"Did you just get back?"
"Yes, I was very excited after I found the silver treasure chest, so I continued to look for the gold treasure chest. In the end, I didn't find it until the end of the event, so I just came back." Li Wenxi's pretty face was full of excitement. "But when I came back, I saw that I was fourth! And you were first! You are too strong!"
"Haha, congratulations. By the way, do you have more iron blocks over there?"
"Of course there are a lot. I don't have much wood and plants here, but there are plenty of minerals. Let me tell you, through the exploration of this activity, I found two more mines, and there are no wild beasts inside!" The beautiful girl put her hands on her hips and raised her head, with an expression that looked like she was going to praise me.
"Awesome!" Xu Xin was envious from the bottom of his heart. This little beauty really had a mine at home. Especially now that the production of armor and iron weapons was open and iron ore was in short supply, the strategic value of the mine was very high.
"Hey, how much iron ore do you want? I'll give it to you!"
Xu Xin remembered Ji Chaoyang's organization, so he told Li Wenxi what had happened before.
"Joining an organization full of bigwigs? Of course you will join. You are the number one and you have joined, so why shouldn't I join?" Li Wenxi was easily convinced. "By the way, you just said that you and Ji Chaoyang can already make iron weapons and armor?"
"That's right."
"Well... How about this? I'll provide you with the materials for two sets of armor. I won't exchange materials with you. Can you help me make one set as well?" Li Wenxi asked tentatively.
"You?" Xu Xin looked at Li Wenxi, "Are you sure you can still move after putting on the armor?"
"You must be joking. I'm very strong, okay?" Li Wenxi showed off her muscles. Although her bulging muscles were not visible, she did have a sense of strength as she worked out regularly. "Besides, my body has been strengthened once by the contract."
"Okay, but don't blame me if you can't wear it."
"No, no, if you can't wear it, I can sell it to other people in the organization you mentioned. Anyway, there are plenty of iron ore, so there's no shortage of ore!"
Wow, the headache-inducing problem of ore source was directly solved by Li Wenxi.
After hanging up the video, Xu Xin just returned to the tree house, and Li Wenxi quickly initiated a transaction with him. To his surprise, what he received was not iron ore, but smelted iron blocks (green). Li Wenxi was even generous enough to give him eight iron blocks (blue).
Eight blue resources? This was too much. No wonder only one of the seven people who only got silver treasure chests ranked above her.
The other side also sent him a message: "I'll just give you the iron blocks. My room is too small to store the iron ore. The furnace has never stopped, so there are a lot of iron blocks! A set of four pieces of iron armor, four for you and four for me, a total of eight! The four blue iron blocks I give you are my repayment for your two oranges. You helped me a lot!"
