Cao Xing also collected the other materials on the ground.
Afterwards, I came to the coal mine with great anticipation.
[Found a small, ownerless coal mine. Should we occupy it? ]
"yes."
[Occupation successful, obtain small coal mine*1, obtain bronze treasure chest*1.]
[Congratulations! You are the first survivor in the server to occupy a resource point. You will receive rewards: 1 ancient weapon Barrett (purple), 10 12.7mm ammunition.]
Cao Xing: "???"
What the hell?
Barrett?
Did I hear it right?
However, when Cao Xing looked at the pitch-black, meter-long heavy sniper rifle on the snow in front of him, he confirmed his guess.
This is really Barrett!
But after thinking about it, it's normal.
After all, this world is a mixture of technology and magic.
Cold Iron Mechanic can drive Gundam and summon bomber groups in the later stage, so what is a Barrett?
Thinking of this, Cao Xing happily collected the Barrett and the bullets on the ground.
[Ancient Weapon Barrett (Purple)]
[Quality: Rare]
[Attack Power: 967~993]
[Attack interval: 2 seconds/time]
[Additional Effect 1: Armor Piercing (When attacking, there is a 50% chance of ignoring 100 points of enemy armor)]
[Additional effect 2: Headshot (when attacking the head, an additional 50% damage is caused)]
…
"Fuck! That's so awesome!"
There is no doubt that this is a real killer.
With an attack power of over 900 in the early stage, it can kill any enemy that stands in its way!
Plus the two special effects at the end, if all are triggered, monsters below level 20 can't withstand a single shot!
Although he is a mage, who says that mages can't use Barrett?
But unfortunately, Cao Xing only had 10 rounds of ammunition.
Cao Xing pondered and said, "I remember that when the territory level is upgraded to level 4, some new technological buildings will be unlocked, such as the [Bullet Factory], [Small Snow Robot Production Workshop], etc."
"Then we won't have to worry about bullets!"
Cao Xing put the Barrett into his backpack with satisfaction.
At this time, he remembered another prompt from the system.
In addition to the coal mine resources, there is also a bronze treasure chest.
In other words, there is a high possibility that there is a treasure chest inside!
So Cao Xing turned around and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll go to the mine to take a look. You collect the scattered coal outside first."
Liu Muxue nodded gently, "Yes."
After Cao Xing finished speaking, he jumped directly into the mine.
This is just a small mine, only four or five meters deep.
In the middle of the nearby soil, you can see some black coal and stones. There are indeed rich resources here.
According to the system, more than 1,700 pieces of coal can be mined here.
According to the standard of 1 coal = 5 wood, the resources here are enough for him to use for a long time!
Cao Xing even wanted to send a few polar people over to mine now.
However, the four polar people in the territory now all have missions and there are no extra manpower at this stage.
Cao Xing thought to himself, "It seems that the upgrade of the polar man's hut should be put on the agenda."
"We must recruit more labor, otherwise there will be no one to mine the ore."
However, what is more important right now is to find the treasure chest in this coal mine.
Cao Xing walked to the end of the mine and found a bronze treasure chest in the darkness.
"That's it!"
The system prompt appears.
[Found an unlocked bronze treasure chest*1, do you want to open it? ]
Cao Xing nodded "yes" directly.
[Open the bronze treasure chest successfully, and obtain a believer's staff (green)*1,
[Get Snow Boots (White)*2]
[Get medical kit*1, get food*15, get refined iron*5]
[Get market construction drawings*1.]
"Huh? Are the construction blueprints available on the market?"
Cao Xing's eyes lit up with joy.
Only after building a market can you trade with other survivors.
Although only a few hours have passed since Cao Xing came to this world.
But with more than 7 billion humans on the entire Blue Planet having traveled through time, with such a large population base, there must be quite a few people who have already built a [market].
Cao Xing looked at the description of this drawing.
[Market: After construction, you can trade resources with other survivors. ]
(Note: Before the merger, you can only trade with other survivors in the same area as the survivors.)
[Area of land: 20 square meters.]
[Materials required for construction: stone*15, wood*30.]
Cao Xing thought thoughtfully: "Can we only trade with the survivors in this area first?"
"But it doesn't have much of an impact. There are tens of thousands of people in District 174, and there are a lot of supplies circulating in the market."
Cao Xing began to check the other two pieces of equipment he had just obtained.
[Believer's Cane (Green), Quality: Excellent, Attack Power: 15~18, Spirit +3, Additional Effect: Believer's Grip (When attacking, there is a 20% chance to increase your Spirit +10)]
(Note: When you are fighting with the cane of a fanatic believer, shouting: Black silk is justice will have unexpected effects~)
Who the hell is going to shout!
White silk is justice, okay?
Cao Xing was speechless. He always felt that this system note was a little bit improper.
He began to examine the second piece of equipment.
[Snow boots (white), quality: ordinary, armor: none, special effects: none. ]
(Note: Snow boots have good cold resistance and allow you to walk better in ice and snow.)
"Another piece of cold-proof equipment."
Cao Xing was delighted.
There are two pairs of snow boots, one for him and one for Liu Muxue.
So he took off his black leather shoes and put on fur-covered snow boots.
The soles of my feet, which had been almost numb from the cold, were now wrapped in waves of warmth.
Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction.
There is another item in the treasure chest.
[Medical Kit (White): Can be used to treat injuries or common illnesses, and restore 100 health points.]
(Note: A simple medical kit that can be used to treat some common symptoms caused by weather, such as colds, fevers, frostbite, etc.)
This is also a good thing. Before the [Medical Room] is built, this medical kit is a life-saving thing!
After all, there are some diseases that even the Aurora Knight's [Purification] cannot dispel.
After continuing to check and confirming that there was nothing else in the coal mine, Cao Xing prepared to go out.
However, before leaving, he dismantled the treasure chest.
[Successfully decomposed the bronze treasure chest and obtained 5 bronzes. ]
…
Cao Xing crawled out of the mine.
After seeing him come out, Liu Muxue said softly: "Axing, collect all the coal on the ground. There are 112 pieces of coal in total. It's enough for us to use for a long time!"
There was joy of harvest on her face.
Cao Xing nodded and said, "Well done, sister-in-law."
"I'll give you this pair of snow boots first."
After saying that, Cao Xing placed his boots under Liu Muxue's feet.
He noticed that Liu Muxue's legs were already red from the cold, her ten toes were tightly clasped, and her thighs were trembling constantly.
Five or six minutes had passed since they came out.
If Liu Muxue didn't return to the campfire in a few minutes, her legs might be completely frozen.
Although Liu Muxue also longed for this pair of snow boots, she also knew how precious these boots were in such an extreme environment.
"Can you really give me this pair of boots?" Liu Muxue asked tentatively.
Cao Xing smiled and said, "Of course I can give them to you. I already have a pair, and Elena has no legs. Who else can wear them except you?"
Liu Muxue stopped refusing and whispered, "Thank you...Axing."
Cao Xing waved his hand, signaling her to change quickly.
At this moment, Liu Muxue said a little embarrassedly: "Axing...can you help me up? My legs are a little out of control."
After saying this, her cheeks had turned red all the way to her ears.
Cao Xing didn't think much about it, he just walked up to her and put one of Liu Muxue's hands on his shoulder.
A faint fragrance wafts from the tip of my nose.
Liu Muxue put her arms around Cao Xing's neck and raised her right leg with some difficulty.
Looking at her like this, Cao Xing knew that her legs were frozen.
"Sister-in-law, let me help you put it on."
After saying that, before Liu Muxue could react, Cao Xing directly lifted her legs covered with white silk stockings.
"Hmm…"
Liu Muxue's body trembled and her beautiful eyes suddenly widened.
Cao Xing didn't have any extra thoughts. He quickly helped her put on two pairs of snow boots and then bent down.
"Sister-in-law, I'll carry you back to the camp."
Hearing this, Liu Muxue became even more shy.
But she also knew that in her current state, she had to return to the camp as soon as possible to keep warm.
"Sorry...sorry to trouble you..." Liu Muxue replied softly.
The next moment, a pair of slender arms wrapped around Cao Xing's neck.
Then, she felt a pair of large, strong hands grabbing her thighs.
It seemed like this was the first time that another man touched this part of her body. Liu Muxue let out a slight gasp and her face turned red all the way to her neck.
Liu Muxue lowered her head deeply.
Cao Xing felt a delicate and soft touch between his hands.
I thought to myself: "This woman... has a very soft body..."
Then, Cao Xing carried Liu Muxue and took Ilena with him.
The two men and the snake returned to the camp.
The warmth from the campfire came over me again.
The stiffness in the body gradually dissipated.
After settling Liu Muxue.
Cao Xing looked up and saw that the sky was getting darker.
There is still half an hour until dark.
He wanted to build a small shelter for Ilena to live in at night before dark.
Otherwise, if these residents of the territory are left to freeze at night, their loyalty will decrease.
In addition, he also needs to build a [market] to trade with other survivors.
Cao Xing took a look at the current territory resources.
[Food: Bread*50, Snake Meat*17, Wolf Meat*134]
[Wood*97, Coal*112, Stone*62]
"Not bad. There are enough materials to build the lumber mill and the market. The remaining materials can also build a small residence."
So Cao Xing shouted to the distance: "Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang, both of you come back."
Upon hearing the order, the polar people put down their work and returned to the campfire trembling.
"My Lord, what is the matter?"
Cao Xing nodded, and then began to give orders: "Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang, the two of you go and build the lumber mill."
"San Zhuang, the task of building the market is up to you."
"Si Zhuang, go build a small residence."
At this point, Cao Xing added, "After you finish this, you can eat."
Hearing the last sentence, the four polar men's eyes lit up,
"Don't worry, Lord, I promise to complete the task before dark!"
"That's right, Lord, don't worry about us doing the job."
