It can be seen that everyone in the chat channel is troubled by the issue of food.
They didn't know how to get food.
In fact, during the novice protection period.
There are some low-level wild monsters around everyone's camp, which is also the source of food in the early stage.
Because it is a family team, four of them are capable of fighting.
If we work together, dealing with a level one or two wild monster will not be a problem.
However, because they were too frightened or had poor adaptability, they did not dare to step too far out of the snow, let alone fight those wild monsters.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the chat channel.
"Look, Fang Long from the Three Heroes Society is selling food again!"
"100g of beast meat for 100 wood or 50 stones. Weapons and equipment are prioritized. If anyone has extra materials, go and exchange them!"
"Oh my god... this is too expensive. All my resources combined don't even add up to this much."
"What do you know, brother upstairs? Do you know how precious food is now? Can those resources be more valuable than your own life?"
"That's right. If you don't buy it, there are plenty of people who will!"
"Don't fight me! I'm starving!"
…
Looking at the chat channel, Cao Xing seemed to be thinking about something.
The food that Fang Long was consigning was a piece of wild boar meat. Although the price he put on it was outrageous, it was still sold out in less than three seconds.
Cao Xing thought to himself, "100g of beast meat is sold at such a high price. This is equivalent to draining all the resources of an entire camp."
"Those who traded supplies can recover a little bit of their satiety, but they will be in trouble afterwards."
"It is very likely that development will not be achieved due to insufficient resources."
"Even if we can develop it, we will probably fall behind by several days. By then, once the novice protection period is over, it will be GG."
Cao Xing checked the records.
This seems to be Fang Long's 17th time selling food.
One can imagine how much resources he has gathered through these transactions.
Cao Xing continued to think: "The wild boar is about the same size as the snow wolf, which means that he probably doesn't have much meat left."
Thinking of this, Cao Xing also posted a transaction information on the market.
[Consignment item: Fresh bear meat (blue)*100g, first time consumption, strength +2, constitution +2]
[Required items: Wood*10, Stone*5, Iron*1, Mithril and Elemental Crystals and other materials can be traded in large quantities! ]
[Consignor: Cao Xing]
[Seller's Note: Bear meat can increase hunger and attributes. We have a large amount of inventory. We collect various materials, drawings, skill books, and equipment.]
Then, Cao Xing began to set the prices of various items.
1 element crystal = 1 piece of bear meat.
1 piece of Mithril = 1 piece of bear meat.
Equipment blueprint = 5~10 pieces of bear meat.
Skill book = 5~10 pieces of bear meat.
Cao Xing recorded each item one by one, even adding bullets, and clearly marked their prices.
At this moment, in the regional channel, many survivors who had already built the [Market] suddenly noticed the bear meat on consignment.
Then he wiped his eyes in disbelief.
Huang Qiufeng: "Fuck! Blue-grade bear meat can also increase its properties!"
"Brothers, go to the market and see if someone is selling bear meat with enhanced attributes!"
Hearing the news, many survivors felt a little confused.
"What? Meat with added attributes? Why have I never seen such a thing?"
They opened the [market] as soon as possible and were shocked by the consignment information there.
"Oh my God! It's true!"
"The price is really cheap. 10 pieces of wood can be exchanged for 100g of bear meat, and 1 elemental crystal can even be exchanged for a whole piece of bear meat!"
"Oh my god? Is this fake? Is this guy doing charity?"
The eyes of these survivors were filled with disbelief.
After all, they all know how horribly expensive food is now.
Moreover, this is bear meat with added attributes!
However, they soon learned that it was true.
A survivor named Yang Lin said excitedly: "Fuck! I got it! I got it!"
"I used 50 stones to exchange for a whole piece of bear meat, which is enough to improve the attributes of my whole family!"
"What?"
When the first survivor trades successfully.
The other survivors immediately started frantic trading.
"Holy crap! Holy crap! My deal was successful, too. I can get a whole piece of bear meat for 10 pieces of iron. That's awesome!"
"Elemental crystals, who has any? One elemental crystal can be exchanged for a whole piece of bear meat. Go quickly!"
"I exchanged a skill book for 5 pieces of bear meat. That's awesome!"
"…"
At this moment, the regional channel has completely gone crazy.
The survivors who grabbed the bear meat were very excited.
They all knew how profitable it was to exchange these supplies for bear meat.
Someone even posted the information about the bear meat on the world channel, making other survivors who were not in Area 174 envious.
Ed Stafford: "Oh my god, it's bear meat. I've never fought a bear in my life."
Qiu Weichao: "It adds a lot of attributes. It's really good news for the warrior profession."
Shuichirou Deguchi: "Damn! Why am I not from District 174? Why is it that no one from District 11451 has dropped this kind of bear meat?"
And Cao Xing was also being bombarded with crazy trading information.
[Transaction successful: You gained Iron*10, you lost Fresh Bear Meat (Blue)*1]
[Transaction successful, you gained 5 stones, you lost 100g of fresh bear meat (blue)]
[Transaction successful, you get the Soldier's Standard Long Sword Blueprint (Green)*1, you lose fresh bear meat (Blue)*5]
…
The prices set by Cao Xing are very humane. Even if you have only a few supplies, you can still trade with him.
At one time, almost all the survivors in Area 174 received the news.
After all, the sooner you take this kind of item that can enhance attributes, the safer you will be in this world.
Cao Xing almost watched the resources in his territory grow wildly!
After a while.
He obtained 5400 pieces of wood, 3200 pieces of stone, 342 pieces of iron, 43 pieces of primary element crystals, a green blueprint, and 20 pieces of mithril!
Even if 12 polar people worked hard to mine for nearly half a month, they might not be able to get so much of these resources.
So far, he has paid a total of 215 pieces of bear meat.
And there were still 1,000 pieces of bear meat left in Cao Xing's backpack!
At this moment, Cao Xing couldn't help but swallow his saliva: "I'm rich, I'm rich now!"
Seeing the materials in the backpack, Cao Xing decided to use them to improve his strength first.
First upgrade the [Campfire], then upgrade the [Lord's Hut].
Then upgrade the [Polar Hut] and recruit more polar people to work.
After that, Cao Xing can even build a powerful building like the [Primary Element Arrow Tower] to greatly enhance the defense capabilities of the territory.
So, Cao Xing interrupted the transaction in the market. He wanted to call back all the polar people and prepare to upgrade the buildings.
Hearing Cao Xing's call, the polar people put down their work and walked towards the camp.
