After having a good meal, Xu Xin called Li Wenxi via video.
The call was connected quickly, but it was not made in the tree house, but using a watch.
"You're back? When I'm done, I'll go upstairs and return the pork to you. I've already divided the pork into the tenth as agreed this morning." Li Wenxi's face was dirty, and he was holding an iron pickaxe in his hand. It was quite dark around him, and it looked like he was digging in a mine.
Even the pickaxe has been replaced with an iron pickaxe
She is indeed a rich woman with an iron mine at home.
"Okay, if you want to keep more, you can just exchange it for iron ore."
“No, no, I can’t even finish one tenth of it.” Li Wenxi shook his head and turned the camera away from his face. “It’s okay, I’m done. I’m mining. I’m so dirty. It looks ugly!”
"good."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Xin, who had already prepared everything, decided to conserve his energy for tomorrow's activities, commonly known as: playing badly.
So he lay down on the bed, stroking his dozing cocoa, and began browsing the regional channels on his watch.
The regional channel was still very lively at this time. The novice protection period had ended, the wild beasts in the jungle had returned, and dangers were lurking everywhere. With sufficient water and food, most people chose to stay in the tree houses.
Xu Xin discovered that there were only 6,998 people in the channel at this time, less than 7,000 people.
Even if those 50 people were eliminated yesterday, there would still be more than 7,000 people, right
"Friends, have you noticed? There are no wild beasts around today!"
"You discovered this too late. Elder Ji Chaoyang told us early this morning and suggested that we go out and search for more supplies."
"Ah? I went out early in the morning and was so nervous all day. I should have checked the regional channels first!"
"The Xuanhu Jishi Organization has put the hemostatic grass obtained today on the trading platform. Everyone, go check it out!"
"What kind of organization is this? It's just a group. The name sounds pretty impressive."
"There's another new event tomorrow, so we only have one day to rest and prepare..."
"Alas, I don't know if there will be any elimination at the end of this event."
"Being eliminated at the end might be lucky. The first friend I met here got a bronze treasure chest yesterday and was even ranked in the top 1,000. But because he was seriously injured in the fight with the monster, this place can't treat such a serious injury. His name is grayed out today."
“Oh my God!”
"Just wait to die! How terrible!"
"So my friends, you must do it within your ability and don't get hurt too badly! Otherwise, the first 1,000 will die anyway."
"I have to go buy some hemostatic grass!"
"That guy just now was a spy, right?"
It seems that in addition to their explorers, some people have chosen to gather together for warmth, but their explorers do not seem to have spoken on the regional channel yet, probably because everyone is not together yet.
Although anonymity is not allowed on the leaderboard, regional channels can still speak anonymously, so Xu Xin asked anonymously: "Are there no wild beasts around you?"
"Yes, some people have walked to the border, but still haven't seen the beast."
Xu Xin was thoughtful. He went hunting three kilometers away, and there were indeed no wild animals within the three kilometers of his tree house. He could tell this by just glancing at the map. Of course, except for the group of piranhas in the middle of the lake.
It seems that today is indeed a break time.
Ji Chaoyang should also have gone hunting outside the three-kilometer range.
He also knew why dozens of people died today. Some of them died from serious injuries. Of course, it is also possible that some people just had holes in their brains and walked out of the reserve.
"There is currently no way to heal serious injuries, and you must not get seriously injured during the exploration."
Thinking of this, he opened the trading platform to see if there was anything he needed.
As he expected, there were still no blue-grade resources on the trading platform. Blue-grade resources were basically traded privately, and those who had the ability to obtain blue-grade resources were mostly in his explorer organization.
However, there are quite a few green-level resources, some of which he has never obtained before.
"Cereal? Green vegetables. Buy it."
"What kind of weird edible fungi are these? Buy them."
"Wow, there are even wild vegetables like dandelions? I bought some."
After searching the trading platform for a long time, he didn't find any useful resources. Instead, he spent a few negligible pieces of green wood in his inventory and exchanged them for various wild vegetables.
It is unhealthy to eat meat all the time. It is better to eat more green vegetables.
He also saw some people selling hemostatic herbs on the trading platform. The quantity was quite large. It should have been picked by the people from Xuanhu Jishi that he had seen before.
Xu Xin looked at his group again. The explorers were relatively quiet, and none of them were the type to chat idly.
At this time, Li Wenxi finally started a video call to him. After the call was connected, she was no longer dirty in the screen, and her hair was a little wet.
"I'll trade it back to you now, and I'll keep one tenth."
"Okay." Xu Xin agreed to the deal, kept some for himself, and put the rest of the pork on the shelves.
"By the way, I want to ask, why are there wild animals around your tree house? I looked around for a long time and didn't see anything." Li Wenxi asked curiously, "Is it related to your golden treasure chest?"
"Well... I can move around in a wider area than you."
"Great! I also want to hunt some wild beasts. I can't make a heavy crossbow without animal tendons. Do you have any extra ones? I'll trade them with you for resources!"
Xu Xin shook his head: "No more, I've already used it up myself."
"Oh, okay." Li Wenxi was a little disappointed.
"There should be wild beasts at tomorrow's event. You have armor so you can deal with them."
“That’s right!”
"I want to trade my wood for some of your iron ore. Do you have a lot of iron ore?"
"There are so many, so many that I don't want to continue mining."
Li Wenxi directly took out the melted iron block and exchanged it with him.
After hanging up the video, it was already dark. Xu Xin hugged Keke and slowly fell asleep.
Xu Xin was awakened by the vibration on his wrist. It was a call from Ji Chaoyang, the only person he allowed to initiate a voice or video chat with him.
He looked at the time. It was half past ten in the evening.
Xu Xin answered the call.
"What's wrong? It's so late."
"Late? Are you asleep? Everyone in the group is here, come over and show your head." Ji Chaoyang didn't expect Xu Xin to be able to sleep so early on the eve of the event.
"Oh? The last person's name is Qi something..."
"Qi Xuefei, ranked eighth."
After hanging up the voice, Xu Xin looked at the explorer group chat, where everyone was welcoming Qi Xuefei.
Qi Xuefei seemed to be a girl of few words. She just said "thank you everyone" and said nothing else.
Ji Chaoyang: "Okay, now that everyone is here, I'll repeat what I told you."
Xu Xin's eyelids were trembling as he watched Ji Chaoyang using words to express the purpose of establishing this organization and what it was going to do.
"…Hmm?"
Coco was awakened by Xu Xin's actions. He glanced at the screen projected by his watch, turned over and continued to sleep.
"Does anyone have any questions?"
"No boss!"
"no problem."
"I have a question." The newly joined Qi Xuefei suddenly spoke up, "I want a set of armor right now. Who between you and Xu Xin can make it for me?"
Qin Yunlong: "We also want two sets of armor."
Ji Chaoyang: "Do you have raw materials? Iron ore is scarce now, and I don't have any extra."
Both of them were silent.
At this time, Li Wenxi suddenly sent him a private message: "Should I provide them with iron ore?"
Xu Xin replied: "It's up to you."
"It's a bit troublesome. How about this, I trade iron blocks with you and you make them for them?"
"You can trade iron ore directly with them."
"I don't want others to know that I have a lot of iron ore, so you have to keep it a secret for me! Besides, it's normal to sell raw materials to consumers. Selling them to manufacturers is the normal operation."
"Yeah, that makes sense. OK then. Happy cooperation."
It would be a waste if you don’t make use of the resources.
After the deal with Li Wenxi, Xu Xin directly said in the group: "I have a source of iron ore and can sell it to you, but you have to offer me a price that satisfies me."
This price naturally refers to the materials used for exchange.
Qi Xuefei, Qin Yunlong: "Private chat."
Qi Xuefei sent him a private message the next second, which was the attribute of a resource. When Xu Xin saw this resource, his eyes shrank.
Hemostatic Grass (Blue): A magical grass that can quickly heal serious injuries! It cannot regenerate limbs and organs.
She actually has blue grade hemostatic grass!
"Blue-grade hemostatic grass can save lives at critical moments. This one will buy you a set of green-grade armor."
To be honest, this deal was not a loss for Xu Xin. He only used green-level wood and blue-level consumable fruits to exchange iron blocks with Li Wenxi. The cost was very low for him, but he had the skills and naturally knew how precious this iron armor was to others.
"Three hemostatic herbs for a set of armor."
"… Three are too many. This is a life-saving herb. Iron Armor is only a green-level armor, so it can only have two at most."
"Deal. Let me warn you, the armor is very heavy and you may not be able to wear it."
"Don't worry about that."
Xu Xin immediately made a set of green-level armor and proposed a deal to Qi Xuefei, who immediately agreed to the deal.
After getting two blue-grade hemostatic herbs, Xu Xin couldn't help but smile as he looked at the blue-glowing grass in his hand. He was not even afraid of getting hurt now, as long as he didn't lose any limbs, it wouldn't be a big problem.
Over there, Qin Yunlong took out the large blue-grade red berries. Xu Xin also had one of these, and he knew that one plant could produce more than thirty red berries. Judging from the fruiting cycle of apple trees, a cycle of red berries might be produced every ten days, so it was not a very expensive thing.
However, as Coco's food and the huge amount of supplies he consumes at night, the more of this thing the better.
"Fifty red berries for two sets of armor."
"Fifty?! These are blue-grade resources!"
"Don't think I don't know. I have this thing too. The red berry bush is the truly precious blue-grade resource. The red berries are just a product. They can produce more than thirty fruits at a time. Fifty is the reserve price."
Seeing that Xu Xin was not easy to fool, the other party softened his tone. The two of them argued for a long time. In the end, Xu Xin exchanged two sets of green-level armor for forty large red berries.
"It's time to sleep, it's time to sleep, to recharge your energy." After finally finishing his work, Xu Xin lay on the bed and gradually fell asleep.
