Chereads / Eternal Ember: Rise from the Ice Age / Chapter 3 - Chapter 3: World Chat Channel

Chapter 3 - Chapter 3: World Chat Channel

Liu Muxue was shocked by the image of four polar people appearing out of thin air in the snow.

But Cao Xing was not surprised.

Anyone who has been a lord knows that this is a perfectly normal thing.

At this moment, the four polar men were staring at Cao Xing with wide eyes, expectantly.

Cao Xing began to check their attributes.

[Polar Man: Afanasi (name can be changed)]

[Level: Level 1 0/100 (Experience points can be gained through combat and other means)]

[Detailed attributes: click to expand]

[Polar Man: Zach (name can be changed)]

[Level: Level 1 0/100]

[Detailed attributes: click to expand]

[Polar Man: Mamado (name can be changed)]

[Level: Level 1 0/100]

The attributes of these four polar people are similar, but one of them named Zack has a slightly better physique.

Because these names are all Western in style, Cao Xing doesn't want to bother remembering their names.

So, Cao Xing pointed at the polar man named Zach and said, "From now on, you will be called Da Zhuang, and you will be the captain of your team."

"The other guys are called Er Zhuang, San Zhuang, and Si Zhuang."

"Did you understand everything?"

Liu Muxue at the side burst out laughing, seemingly unable to hold back her laughter at Cao Xing's simple and crude naming style.

However, joy appeared on the hairy faces of several polar people.

"I understand!"

"Thank you, Lord, for the name!"

[You have successfully given a name to the polar people. Da Zhuang's loyalty to you has increased by 5 points...]

[You have successfully given a name to the polar man, Erzhuang's loyalty to you has increased by 5 points...]

Cao Xing was stunned. Can this increase loyalty?

75 points of loyalty is already very high. At least he will not disobey Cao Xing's orders.

After the polar people are recruited, they must start working.

Cao Xing clicked on the [Building] interface and began to check the buildings that could be built.

[Level 1 Simple Stove: Can be placed indoors to raise the temperature by 15~20 degrees Celsius. ]

[Consumption: 20 minutes/1 wood]

[Materials required for construction: Stone*6]

Note: If you don't want to freeze to death at night, I suggest you build it immediately!

...

[Level 1 simple stove: can be used for cooking, steaming, etc.]

[Materials required for construction: 8 stones, 4 woods.]

Note: Man, this is a meal, I think you should know its importance, right?

[Level 1 Lumberyard: Logs can be processed inside.]

[Occupancy: 30 square meters]

[Materials required for construction: Stone*30, Wood*50. ]

Note: If you want to get rich, you must first cut down trees. I suggest you put a lumber mill on your agenda immediately.

[Level 1 sewing shop: You can make simple cold-resistant clothing or armor in it. ]

[Occupancy: 30 square meters]

[Materials required for construction: Stone*40, Wood*60.]

Note: Lord, you don't want your men to fight naked, do you?

...

[Level 1 Ore Processing Plant: can smelt and sort the ores collected in the wild. ]

[Processable ores: coal, iron. (Upgrading the processing plant level will allow you to smelt higher grade metals!)]

[Occupancy: 50 square meters]

[Materials required for construction: Stone*80, Wood*150.]

Note: In order to create more advanced equipment, a processing plant is essential.

[Level 1 Blacksmith Shop: You can forge weapons or tools in it]

[Occupancy: 30 square meters]

[Materials required for construction: Stone*100, Wood*200, Iron*20]

Note: Listen buddy, a soldier without weapons is like a tiger without teeth.

There are many types of level 1 buildings. In addition to the above, there are also [Infirmary], [Small Shelter], [Wall], [Gate], etc.

But these buildings require a lot of stone and wood, as well as the more advanced material refined iron.

Obviously, Cao Xing has no talent at all.

Also, now the stones and wood near the campfire have been used up.

In this icy and snowy place, is there any place where we can get resources?

Cao Xing looked around and suddenly his eyes lit up.

About one or two hundred meters away, you can see a small forest covered with snow and several large rocks.

These should be the early resource points.

So Cao Xing took out four stone axes and four iron pickaxes from his backpack and gave them to the four polar people.

Then he said, "Da Zhuang, Er Zhuang, form a team and go cut down the wood over there."

"Third and fourth heroes, take your tools and go collect more stones."

The four polar men immediately straightened up and said respectfully, "Yes, Lord!"

After saying that, they each took their tools and walked towards the snow outside the campfire.

Because of their talents, they can spend more time outside the campfire than Cao Xing and others.

The four polar people were sent out by Cao Xing to collect supplies.

Liu Muxue blinked her beautiful eyes, "Axing, what should we do now?"

Looking at her skin that was red from the cold and her face that was gradually turning pale.

If this continues, even if Liu Muxue doesn't freeze to death, she will get a serious illness.

Getting sick in the snow is a very troublesome thing.

Cao Xing said, "Sister-in-law, you should go to work indoors and build the stove and hearth first."

"Um."

Liu Muxue responded softly, and without forcing it, she walked slowly into the room.

Cao Xing checked the remaining supplies.

[Food*50, Wood*27, Stone*17. ]

"The most in-demand material right now is probably stone. Wood is also essential, as it is needed for heating at night."

"The current temperature is enough to get us through the first night, but it's still not safe."

"Then let's upgrade the campfire."

The system prompt appears.

[Do you want to consume 10 stones to upgrade the campfire level? ]

Cao Xing nodded "yes" and started clanging.

Ten minutes later.

Cao Xing saw that the bonfire in front of him was built up to more than one meter high by him using stones, and it gradually turned into the prototype of a furnace.

The fire is burning.

[The campfire has been successfully upgraded. Current level: Level 3.]

[Campfire: Level 3]

[Bonfire effect: can increase the temperature of the area within a radius of 40 meters by 10~20℃]

[Consumption]: 10 minutes/1 wood.

[Materials required for the next level]: Stone*20, Wood*10.

"Very good, although the temperature still hasn't increased, the heating range has doubled!"

But at the same time, the consumption is also greater, one piece of wood is consumed in 10 minutes.

At this rate, the wood in the camp won't last long.

Once the wood runs out, they will lose their source of heating and face severe weather conditions of at least minus sixty degrees Celsius.

It won't be long before they freeze to death!

Cao Xing frowned, "I hope those polar people can collect wood smoothly..."

After working outside for too long, Cao Xing felt like he was about to freeze to death.

So he also went into the lord's hut.

It was a little dark inside the cabin because there was no lighting.

A graceful figure was building a stove in the corner.

She was bent over, her long white silk legs were straight, and when she looked up, she could see her buttocks wrapped in a dress...

This posture makes it look as round as a bowling ball.

"Oh my god...it's so big." Cao Xing couldn't help but exclaim.

Liu Muxue thought Cao Xing was here to supervise the work, so she wiped the sweat off her forehead and said softly, "Ah Xing, the furnace will be ready soon."

Cao Xing shook his head and said, "Sister-in-law, let me help you."

"Hmm..." Liu Muxue responded softly.

With the addition of Cao Xing, the construction progress of the furnace was greatly accelerated.

After a few minutes, the system prompt appears.

[Level 1 furnace built successfully...]

However, this time, Cao Xing did not hear the reward prompt.

My heart suddenly understood.

It seems that basic buildings like [Furnace] will not trigger rewards.

Of course, it is also possible that other teams of survivors have been built in advance.

This time, more than seven billion people around the world have descended into the world of ice and snow together, and naturally there will be many with amazing adaptability among them.

"Crash!"

As the sound of wood being lit appeared, the stove gradually emitted an orange-red flame, illuminating the entire lord's cabin.

The lord's cottage is currently empty, with nothing in it except for a stove.

By the fire, the two felt waves of warmth coming over them.

Cao Xing took a look at the indoor temperature.

[Current temperature -16℃]

Although it is still very cold, it is much better than the temperature outside which is dozens of degrees below zero.

Liu Muxue curled up her body and kept shaking.

I was working and didn't feel anything just now, but now that I come to my senses, I realize that my body has already turned blue and purple due to the cold.

Cao Xing frowned and thought to himself.

"It seems that we need to go to the sewing shop as soon as possible. The thin clothes we wear are no different from being naked."

"If this continues, not only Liu Muxue, but I will also freeze to death."

A strong sense of crisis appeared in my heart again.

Cao Xing began to study other functions of the lord interface.

Click on the [Production] interface, and a lot of basic tools will appear immediately.

Such as: stone axe, stone hammer, stone pickaxe, wooden bowl, wooden table, wooden chair, wooden bed, etc.

Cao Xing took a look and understood it.

"From this, you can make some simple work or furniture or something like that."

Then, he began to check the [Chat Channel] function, and four options suddenly appeared on it.

[World Channel: All servers, each person is limited to 1 post per day]

[Regional Channel: This is a 500*500 km square area. All survivors in this area are in it. There is no limit on the number of times you can speak.]

[Team Channel: Only survivors who have joined your territory can speak here, and there is no limit on the number of times they can speak.]

[Private chat channel: unlimited 1-on-1 chat. ]

Cao Xing clicked on the world channel, and immediately a lot of information appeared.

Zhao Shengbing: "Oh my god! How did I suddenly come to this damn place? I'm freezing to death!"

Chen Erya: "Help! It's so cold, so cold!"

Zhang Qiang: "Didn't the system say that we were assigned people based on their family? Who are these people? I don't know them at all!"

Bear Grylls: "Survival game? I love it. It's an unprecedented challenge for me!"

Yamagami Tetsuya: "Let the male gun shine again!"

Ma Dong-seok: "Damn it! Don't let me know whose prank this is, or I'll crush his balls!"
