From their information, Cao Xing learned that many people had died.
Most of them died from cold weather, and a few were attacked by monsters in the wild.
The entire human environment is in a state of panic and anxiety.
There are other calmer survivors in the world channel who share their experiences there.
Zhang Huaiyun: "Brothers, you must build the Lord's Hut as soon as possible. Only after the Lord's Hut is built can other buildings be unlocked!"
Ed Stafford: "I suggest that you collect the stones and wood near the territory as soon as possible, and then upgrade the campfire level."
Wang Sheng: "If you encounter monsters in the wild, don't try to attack them. Remember to run back as soon as possible and run to the campfire area. Then the monsters will not attack you!"
…
Just as Cao Xing had expected, there are many people with good adaptability among the world's more than 7 billion people.
However, compared to Cao Xing, they were still a step slower.
Not only did they not play the game in advance like Cao Xing, they also did not have SSS-level hidden talents.
During these four hours, Cao Xing not only built the lord's hut and the polar man's hut, but also built a lumber mill, a market and other buildings, and upgraded the campfire to level 3.
Moreover, after two battles, Cao Xing's resources have reached an abundant level.
Cao Xing thought about it and added a sentence.
Cao Xing: "The lowest temperature at night will be -60℃. Don't go out casually. If you don't have time to build a lord's hut, you can first build a simple shelter with wood and stones. It can barely withstand the low temperature of the first night."
After Cao Xing finished speaking, he closed the world channel.
He didn't know how many people would see his message.
I don't know if anyone can use his method to survive the first night.
But no matter what, just take it as a friendly reminder.
Then, he opened the [Regional Channel] again.
According to the system description, this is a square area of 500 kilometers * 500 kilometers.
Shown above.
[174 Regional Channel]
[Online users: 38224/40173]
Cao Xing was silent for a moment.
Obviously, many people died on the first day.
Nearly two thousand people have died in his area alone.
One can imagine how high the death rate is among survivors worldwide.
But there is nothing that can be done about it. In a survival game, many people will eventually be eliminated.
Moreover, as long as we get through the first day, everyone will adapt and the death rate will not be that high.
Of course, once the novice protection period is over, the monsters roaming outside may actively attack the camp, and the death rate may soar again at that time.
So, it's not just the other survivors.
Even Cao Xing has to cherish the novice protection period and work hard to develop his own territory.
Click on [Regional Channel] and a lot of information will appear immediately.
Wang Wenjie: "Brothers, are you all from Hong Kong?"
Gu Boren: "I'm not from Hong Kong, but I'm from the neighboring city of Shenzhen and Hong Kong."
Qiao Pingwei: "I'm from Hong Kong."
Pan Fei: "I'm from Hong Kong too."
After reading the above chat, Cao Xing nodded suddenly.
This regional division should be to randomly assign people from several adjacent cities together.
At this time, Wang Wenjie continued, "My compatriots, I'm in trouble. My sister suddenly fainted due to hypothermia and now has a high fever. Does anyone have cold medicine or antibiotics? Please save my sister!"
Qi Qiang: "My family is also sick. My parents have already collapsed. It's just me and my brother left. What should I do if this continues?"
Lu Jizhong: "It's troublesome. After tonight, there won't be enough food for tomorrow, and there are no warm clothes..."
Fang Long: "I am Fang Long from the Three Heroes Society. Other brothers in the gang please contact me as soon as possible."
In the chat channel, many people are talking about the difficulties they are currently facing, hoping to get help from others.
Of course, there are also some survivors who have developed in this area.
Chen Tianhao: "Haha, you are a bunch of cowards. Just stay near the campfire. I have found a treasure chest in the snow. I found an iron sword and a bunch of food inside."
Ji Wenlong: "I also opened a treasure chest, and found a medical kit inside that can cure colds and fevers. If you want it, bring food or weapons to exchange with me!"
Cheng Lei: "Winter-resistant coats for sale. We need food, lots of food!"
…
From the information of these people above, it can be seen that everyone is short of supplies.
Cao Xing closed the regional channel. He also had to go to the market to trade some supplies.
Cao Xing clicked on the [Market] interface of the territory building.
As soon as I opened it, I saw many transaction information on it.
[Consignment items: Stone*20]
[Required items: Food*10 or medical kit*1.]
[Consignor: Zhao Jiaxing]
(Seller's note: Basic material, price negotiable.)
…
[Consignment Item: Rusty Spear (White)*1,]
[Required items: Food*20. ]
[Consignor: Anonymous]
(Seller's note: Iron spear, although rusty, is still more powerful than the initial weapon given by the system. It needs food! Food!)
…
[Consignment item: opened bronze treasure chest*1. ]
[Required items: warm clothing. ]
[Consignor: Wang Wen]
(Seller's note: Although the treasure chest has been opened by me, it can be decomposed into rare materials such as copper. Give me some warm clothes, I'm almost freezing to death!)
...
Apparently, it is the first day of global advent.
In this world with extreme conditions, the most scarce things are naturally food, warm clothing, and medicine.
Everyone is exchanging the limited resources they have.
Cao Xing only had one medical kit in his hand, and he even lacked warm clothes.
So of course it is impossible to trade these things.
He continued to browse to see if there was anything he needed.
At this time, he saw a consignment information.
[Consignment Item: Ice Armor Skill Book (White)*1]
[Required items: Food*50, or medical kit*5.]
[Consignor: Melese]
(Seller's note: This is an early skill book for the Frost Mage. You can cut down the price a bit, so hurry up if you want to buy it!)
Cao Xing's eyes moved slightly.
It turned out to be the Frost Mage's [Ice Armor]!
This skill can increase the armor value according to the user's mental strength. The effect lasts for 20 seconds, but it consumes a lot of energy.
For other frost mages, this may be useless, but for Cao Xing, it is a magical skill!
Because this skill can be turned into a permanent skill by combining it with your own talents.
Then combined with Ilena's [Scale Armor], Cao Xing's defense will reach a terrifying level!
At this moment, Cao Xing even wanted to take a picture of this skill book on the spot.
But it was obvious that this guy was asking for an exorbitant price, and he directly asked for 50 pieces of food.
But fortunately, the seller said in the notes that the price can be bargained, which means there is still room for negotiation.
So, Cao Xing opened the private chat interface for consignment.
Cao Xing: "Ten food in exchange for the Ice Armor skill book."
After a few seconds, Melese sent a speechless expression.
Melese: "I told you to bargain, not to bargain with people. You want to exchange ten food for a skill book, why don't you just go and rob?"
"Go, go, go play!"
Cao Xing replied: "I know you are anxious, but don't be anxious yet. What if I tell you that this is not ordinary food, but meat?"
Melese: "Meat? You got the meat so quickly?"
There was a strong sense of surprise in the other party's tone.
Cao Xing knew that the other party didn't believe it. After all, at the current stage, food like meat could only be obtained from wild monsters.
Obviously, on the first day, almost no one could defeat those wild monsters.
Cao Xing directly posted the item information on the private chat window, but he sent information about snake meat.
It was not until this time that Maileser finally believed that Cao Xing had flesh on his hands.
"Sure, brother! I actually managed to get you some snake meat."
Cao Xing asked directly: "How about it, will you sell it?"
Melese: "Of course I will sell it, but what you are offering is too little, isn't it? At least 40 food items, which is 8 pieces of snake meat, or no deal!"
Cao Xing said: "What are you thinking? 8 pieces of snake meat, I don't even have that much, 3 pieces at most."
However, Melese insisted that the minimum number of pieces of snake meat should not exceed 6.
After hearing this, Cao Xing replied directly: "Forget it, keep it for yourself."
"Ice Armor is just an early stage skill, and its drop rate is not low. After tomorrow, you won't be able to exchange it for food even if you want to."
Hearing this, the other party seemed a little hesitant.
Melese asked doubtfully, "Are you telling the truth?"
