Chapter 5 - Exchange

The cold voice of the detector sounded, "500 kilometers south, there are plant seeds."

Zhang Bei charged towards the green light with all his might.

Plants! There were basically no plants in space, but he had found seeds!

Zhang Bei was very happy. He was already thinking about how to use these seeds.

After about an hour, there was another familiar "pop" sound. A small bag fell to the ground not far away.

Zhang Bei quickly ran over and picked up the bag.

He opened it and saw cabbage seeds, cucumber seeds, and tomato seeds.

Zhang Bei was grinning from ear to ear!

But when Zhang Bei calmed down, he realized a very serious fact.

The temperature, humidity, and oxygen content of the asteroid were the same as those of Earth, this soil was also normal soil. There was also the frozen soil that he had knocked into last time. These were all fine.

But… Zhang Bei scratched his head. "What about light?"

From the first day of space drifting, Zhang Bei had roughly calculated the time of day and night on Jupiter. According to the calculations on Earth, there would only be a 24-hour night after three consecutive days.

"Even if these plants receive light, they will have no night to use up the huge amount of nutrients," Zhang Bei thought.

"Forget it. Let's plant some and see." So, Zhang Bei began to gather all the soil.

While Zhang Bei was drenched in sweat, the World Channel was still filled with sighs.

"Will I starve to death here? I haven't eaten for a long time…"

"Me too. And I'm so hot here, I don't have any water to drink. I'm going to collapse."

"No way, no way. Is there anyone who doesn't have water to drink now?"

"May I ask how much water this brother has?"

"Just now, a large bucket of water knocked into me. It almost scared me to death, but it should be around 10L."

"Luck King! Please accept my bow!"

"Please send me your location! I will come over right away!"

"Wuwuwu, I'm so envious. Let me get a lick."

At this moment, Zhang Bei had gathered the soil together. It was about three square meters.

Zhang Bei took a few bottles of mineral water and reluctantly poured them into the dry soil.

"F*ck! How extravagant!" Zhang Bei cursed. But he thought about how if the planting succeeded, he would have a lot of vegetables to eat and he could even exchange the extras for other things.

"Forget it, he who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.." Zhang Bei continued to pour water.

After the soil became moist, he began to bury the seeds.

After doing all this, Zhang Bei wiped his sweat and said, "I hope it will succeed." He turned around and touched his rumbling stomach.

"I will have some instant noodles and ham sausage for lunch today." Zhang Bei licked his lips. "There's no seasoning for the cold food, it won't taste good even if I cook them."

What Zhang Bei did not know was that there were already people fighting over a few pieces of bread near some planets.

In such a situation, humans would only fight for their own survival!

Zhang Bei still used the kettle to prepare noodles and added a ham sausage.

While waiting, Zhang Bei opened the Exchange Platform to see if there was anything he needed.

Most of the items were clothes and blankets. Zhang Bei saw the second page but did not see what he needed.

"Forget it, let's eat first." Zhang Bei closed the Exchange Platform and started eating.

After lunch, Zhang Bei lay on his cardboard bed and turned on the World Channel.

"Sigh, I just saw the guy beside me jump off the asteroid."

"Ah, why?"

"It's probably because he has no confidence in life."

"Yeah, I wonder when the drifting days will end."

Zhang Bei was shocked.

Yeah, I wonder when this will end.

He could not help but feel sad.

But when he thought of the current environment, Zhang Bei decided to live well.

After all, only by surviving could there be hope.

Zhang Bei thought for a moment and sent a message on the World Channel.

"Those who want food and have resources, come."

The people who were still grieving earlier instantly fell silent.

A few seconds later, the World Channel seemed to boil as if a drop of water had fallen into boiling oil.

"F*ck! This is the real boss! Using food to exchange for resources!"

"What does Big Boss want! I'll give you everything I have! Even if I don't have what you want, I will steal them for you!"

Some displayed a strong desire to exchange, while others spoke sourly.

"Hehe, trading food. Aren't you afraid of being robbed?"

"Idiot, food is the most important thing now. Using it to exchange for resources is really stupid."

Immediately, some people were unhappy. It was rare for someone to be willing to take out food to trade, yet some people were still making sarcastic remarks.

"I think you're a pig that's putting onions in your nose and pretending here! If you don't want to exchange, get lost!"

"I think you're just jealous!"

Those few trolls instantly started cursing. Their words were extremely vicious and vulgar.

They were immediately rebuked by others. As the number of people cursing at them increased, they no longer dared to speak.

The cursing lasted for a while before stopping.

As for Zhang Bei, he was browsing through the information sent to him by all the people who wanted to trade with him and screening them.

"Clothes…" Zhang Bei looked at his clothes which were so dirty that the original color could not be seen. He sniffed at them and smelled a pungent smell.

Zhang Bei frowned and opened the exchange interface.

"Brother, what's the deal?" Zhang Bei asked.

"Brother, let me tell you, the material of this dress is excellent. It's also a big brand. I won't scam you! How about a day's worth of food?"

Zhang Bei chuckled. "You have the cheek to ask for a day's worth of food with your torn clothes? It will be just a loaf of bread. Do you want to exchange or not?"

"One is too little… at least three." The other party hesitated.

"Just one!" Zhang Bei insisted.

"Okay, okay, deal!"

After confirming the exchange, there was one less loaf of bread and a set of clothes beside Zhang Bei.

Zhang Bei touched it and found that it was light and had breathability. He was very satisfied.

"Hahahahaha, I'm really a bargaining genius!" Zhang Bei began to be narcissistic, and then continued to look at the exchange interface.

After reading a few pages of wood, stones, and clothes, Zhang Bei gradually lost his patience.

Suddenly, Zhang Bei saw something that looked like a tent. He clicked on it and saw that it was indeed a tent. It was also a high-level tent that could withstand high temperatures and collisions!

Zhang Bei was looking for a place to sleep. He quickly sent a message: "Brother, what's your price?"

The other party instantly replied to 'fire source'.

Zhang Bei stared at the chat box and thought for a long time. He did not know if he should expose his secret of having a fire source.
