Max looked at his master in horror, wondering what on earth he had captured him for.
"Don't be afraid, I'll take your measurements and make you an awesome piece of armour!"
After seeing Max's terrified expression, Chris spoke while smoothing Max's fur with his hand.
After hearing his words, Max really quieted down, gently lying on his lap and letting him fiddle with it.
Chris didn't have a tape measure on his body, so he could only use his fingers to make measurements.
Using his fingers, he compared the general size, and then copied it onto a piece of paper to record it.
After spending half an hour's effort, he finally recorded all of Max's measurements.
Including the length of Max's body, the size of his neck, the size of his chest, and the length of his four legs.
He recorded them all.
It was getting late in the day, and once Chris had written it down, he lay down on the wooden bed, and Max squeezed into his side with a rub.
One man and one dog closed their eyes.
...
"Doomsday Calendar, Year 1, Month 7."
"Congratulations on starting your first live stream and are very pleased with your overwhelming popularity while doing so. (Survival Points +15)"
"You have successfully defended yourself and your sanctuary from the enemy during the live broadcast. (Survival Points +20)"
"You have fortified your sanctuary for the first time, and the space of your sanctuary has increased significantly. (Survival Points +10)"
"You slept very peacefully last night, and your mental and physical strength has been fully restored. (Survival Points +10)"
"Congratulations, you have managed to survive another day and are being evaluated on what you did today. (Survival Points +10)"
"Final settlement, you have gained a total of 65 Survival Points this time, with a total of 435 Survival Points remaining"
As a new day arrived, Chris opened his eyes and nodded with satisfaction as he looked at the slowly rising number of Survival Points on the system interface.
Repairing the generator kernel only required the consumption of 500 Survival Points, and with this momentum, the generator could be repaired tomorrow.
After popping down from the wooden bed, he looked at the shelter that was much emptier compared to the past, feeling more or less uncomfortable.
Walking over to the side of the suggested water extraction device, he cranked the windlass to pull up the iron bucket, preparing to receive the spiritual energy water in the bucket into the system space.
This action, Chris repeated every morning.
But this time, he lifted the iron bucket up and after taking a look at it, he couldn't help but freeze.
How did the water in the iron bucket become so much in one night's time?
The efficiency of the simple water extraction device was only 3000ml/day, and in one night's time, it was only about 1200ml, almost one third of the iron bucket.
But now, the spiritual energy water in the iron barrel was so full that it was about to overflow.
He couldn't help but open the introduction of the simple water extraction device.
"Name: simple spiritual energy water extraction device (strengthened once)"
"Introduction: capable of producing a steady stream of spiritual energy water, the efficiency of water extraction gains a significant increase after strengthening."
"Efficiency: 8000ml/day"
The Simple Water Extraction Device had actually evolved on its own?
A look of surprise appeared on Chris' face, but then he pondered.
It definitely couldn't have evolved on its own for no reason, and there was no indication on the system as to how long it would evolve after being used.
There was only one possibility for this evolution.
That was that when the refuge was strengthened yesterday, the Simple Water Extraction Device had also received a strengthening along with the refuge.
After receiving all the Spiritual Energy Water in the iron barrel into the system warehouse, Chris counted the Spiritual Energy Water in the warehouse.
This time, he had harvested a total of 3 full litres of Spiritual Energy Water, and together with the ones he had previously received, he actually had 15L of Spiritual Energy Water in his warehouse!
This was already a considerable amount of wealth.
After pondering for a while, he opened the system's trade list and checked the market price of fresh water.
As expected, as he had predicted before, the price of fresh water had plummeted after the acid rain had descended.
Previously, 1,000 ml of fresh water could even be exchanged for 100 units of stone, but now not even 10 units could be exchanged.
There were many reasons for the drop in the price of fresh water, on the one hand, it was due to the fact that most of the shelters had already dug wells and had a stable way of obtaining fresh water.
More than that, it was because the acid rain had caused a large number of survivors to perish, and the demand for fresh water had dropped drastically.
There was a need before there was a demand, and with a large number of people in need of fresh water dying, the value of fresh water naturally ceased to be what it once was.
After thinking about it, he felt that it was time to release the news of Spiritual Energy Water, so he posted a trade.
"Trade item: 100ml Spiritual Energy Water"
"Required item: 100 units of stone"
"Introduction: spiritual energy water not only quenches thirst, it is also a potion that slowly heals injuries after taking it, and all kinds of external injuries can be healed."
As Chris had predicted, the chat page kicked up a storm after the message was posted.
"You guys go and see, Big Brother Chris released a trade, and it's something never seen before, something called Spirit Energy Water, it seems to be very rare."
"I saw it as soon as I refreshed just now, Spirit Energy Water is a potion that can slowly heal external injuries."
"A potion that slowly heals external injuries? This is something good, I didn't think that Chris would be willing to take this out and trade it!"
"During the descent of the acid rain, there were quite a few survivors who suffered traumatic injuries because they were accidentally drenched by the acid rain, I'm afraid they'll start looting it now!"
"Upstairs, stop it, this 100ml of Spiritual Energy Water must be mine!"
Countless messages were scrolling frantically on the chat interface, and all those who saw Chris's trading message were all excited about it.
Even those who were not injured were salivating over the Spiritual Energy Water.
After all, just because they weren't injured now didn't mean that they wouldn't be injured in the future, and with Spiritual Energy Water, they could be prepared!
While these people were excited and euphoric to the extreme, Chris was looking at his private chat with a bitter smile.
From the moment he had just released the trading information, countless messages had poured in frantically, and in an instant, 99+ messages had stuffed the screen.
Until now it had been more than ten minutes and it still hadn't stopped.
There was a constant influx of new messages.
He visually estimated that there were already nearly 9999+.
"Chris, don't you want stone, I have over a thousand units of stone here, I can give them all to you!"
"Hello, esteemed Sir Chris I not only have stone here but all kinds of beast meat and a lot of wood and plant fibres."
"Not only do I have stone here but quite a few other things as well, trade them to me!"
(The other party initiated a trade request to you: trade items: screws*5, nuts*6, springs*3, stone*100, oil*20L.....)
His eyes visibly lit up when he saw this item, surprisingly someone had oil in their hands.
After thinking for a while, Chris accepted the other party's trade request.
Instantly, 100ml of Spiritual Energy Water was deducted from the warehouse, but 20L of oil and quite a few other gadgets were added to the warehouse.
Among the items traded over by the other party, apart from the screws and nuts mentioned by the system, there was also some food, simple condiments, and even 2 units of rubbish ....
He highly suspected that the opposite party might have traded all the things that could be traded in the warehouse.
Meanwhile, in a cave that was very far away from Chris, a man covered in blood was lying in the cave.
His body was covered with wounds, and his breath was unusually weak, as if he would die the next moment.
However, his expression was one of ecstasy.
"Surprisingly, I really snatched it!"
The man muttered under his breath, and took out a small glass bottle from the warehouse, in which was a transparent liquid that didn't look any different from ordinary fresh water.
This was the Spiritual Energy Water that had been traded from Big Brother Chris and was capable of treating traumatic injuries!
A look of excitement filled the man's heart!
As if using all his strength, the man pulled out the wooden cork from the mouth of the bottle and drank all the potion in the bottle in one gulp.
100ml, just one sip's worth.
The man was afraid of missing a single drop, and even though the bottle was already empty, he still hung the glass vial upside down by his mouth, wanting to use gravity to drip down the residual liquid hanging on the wall of the bottle.
Unfortunately, the man's hand remained suspended like this for two or three minutes, and still not a single drop fell.
He shook his head, and flicked the vial in his hand, which hung in a curve.
It shattered with a crunching sound.
The man couldn't help but freeze.
He himself had just come back from death in the relics, and was incredibly weak.
How could he throw the vial that far in one go?
Then, as if he had thought of something, the man's eyes widened in surprise and looked towards his arms.
Both arms were still reddish and stained with blood.
However, underneath the reddish blood, the originally horrifying and hideous wounds disappeared.
Just a few minutes ago, his arms were strewn with wounds that were deep enough to see the bone, causing him pain.
Now, however, the wounds were completely gone.
The man's face was stunned, as if he couldn't believe that the effects of the Spiritual Energy Water were this good, the man gently stretched out his right hand and tentatively touched it towards his arm.
However, there was no pain at all!
His own arms, just like that?
The man's hand rose with force, stroking every inch of his arms up and down.
On his arms, not only were the wounds gone, the healed wounds didn't even leave scars!
He looked towards the rest of his body.
On his chest, there was originally a long knife wound, which was now healed and gone.
On the left side of his abdomen, there was a penetrating wound, which was also completely healed at this moment.
All the traumas on his body had healed and healed perfectly, with no pain, no scars, and no after-effects!
"Your Excellency Chris, thank you for the Spiritual Energy Water!"
"Now I realise that all that rubbish of mine in exchange for 100ml of your spiritual energy water is really too much!"
The man forced down the excitement in his heart, opened the system menu and sent a private chat to Chris.
"You don't have to, since I chose to trade, I'm recognising the value of the things you traded over."
Chris replied quickly.
The man thought for a moment after seeing Chris' reply.
"Sir Chris, I'm giving you a free piece of information!"
