Chen Ming did not start selecting directly, but instead put a portion of the bronze-level healing bandages on the shelves to the market.
The exchange options were wooden blocks and stone blocks.
According to the current market ratio, the ratio between wooden blocks and stone blocks is 2:1.
One strip of bronze-level healing bandage can be exchanged for 10 wooden blocks or 5 stone blocks.
His main focus was still on collecting stone blocks.
With the development in these days, many players had a lot of stone blocks in stock.
Chen Ming targeted these people.
He was preparing to collect resources tonight to upgrade the level 3 shelter!
Currently, there was still a shortage of wooden blocks, iron blocks were enough, and stone blocks were still far from enough.
After the healing bandages were put on the shelves, they were quickly sold out in just a few breaths.
After looking at the number of stone blocks that were lacking, he once again put up dozens of healing bandages for exchange for stone blocks.
After the rush ended, Chen Ming successfully gathered all the upgrade resources.
Click to upgrade.
[Ding! Upgrading level 3 shelter, countdown 3 hours...]
Seeing that the upgrade had started, Chen Ming then opened his private messages, ready to select some useful items for exchange.
Soon, the items displayed by a boy named Feng Yun caught his attention.
[Flint: Generates sparks when rubbed, can be used for ignition!]
Seeing this item, Chen Ming couldn't help but feel excited.
With this flint, he could make fire.
With fire, he could cook raw food in the future!
He must get this no matter what! Chen Ming quickly replied, "How many flints do you have now?"
The other party replied quickly, apparently waiting for Chen Ming's response, "Great, Chen Ming bro, you finally replied! I thought you didn't like this! I have 10 in hand right now, but I want to keep two for myself, and the remaining eight can be traded."
Eight...
Chen Ming nodded in satisfaction, this quantity exceeded his expectations.
"I'll take them all. Will you trade two strips of silver-level healing bandages for them?"
"Chen Ming bro, there are many wild beasts in my area, can you give me a few more strips of bronze-level healing bandages?"
"Sure!"
After a while, Chen Ming exchanged two strips of silver-level healing bandages and four strips of bronze-level healing bandages for eight flints.
He brought some dry grass from the side, and after exchanging some wooden sticks for sticks on the workbench, he began to try to rub the flint to make fire.
After a few minutes of friction, Chen Ming felt his hands trembling.
The next moment, as a spark fell on the dry grass, the flame slowly rose. Chen Ming took the opportunity to put the sticks in it to keep the flame stable.
"Done!"
The ground of the wooden house was soil, and the flame was burning in the middle of the house, so there was no need to worry about burning the house.
After collecting all the flints, he leaned against the flame to continue selecting exchange candidates.
After an hour of effort, he exchanged a lot of seasonings, including but not limited to: 50 grams of salt, a small bottle of vinegar, a small pot of cooking wine, half a packet of MSG, a small jar of black pepper...
He didn't get rice, but he got some instant noodles.
He also exchanged for a copper pot so that he could make noodles in the morning.
"Howl~"
Just as Chen Ming had just made a small wooden table on the workbench to place the seasonings, there came a series of wolf howls from outside.
Then there were scratching sounds of claws on the fence around the wooden house!
Chen Ming's heart trembled, and he hurriedly walked to the small fire pit, directly stamping out the flame.
He then took out weapons from the dimensional backpack, a sharp dagger in his left hand, and a regular stone axe in his right hand.
His gaze was fixed on the direction of the wooden door.
He now realized that he had been too careless in his actions!
In this dark environment, any light could easily attract the attention of wild animals!
Mainly, he was too conspicuous!
These wolves were likely attracted by the light.
After a stalemate for more than ten minutes, the scratching sounds outside gradually faded.
The wolf pack retreated!
Chen Ming's tense nerves finally relaxed.
In the future, he would try to make fires during the day.
Now that the temperature was rising, there was no need for flames at night anymore; they were primarily for cooking food.
Chen Ming was concerned and added more stone blocks and iron blocks behind the door.
There were not many iron blocks left, and he couldn't return to the small iron mine from before. He would have to find a new one later.
After this incident, he did not plan to continue trading but went straight to sleep.
The fact that the wolf pack did not continue their attack did not mean they had left; they might be lurking nearby.
He might encounter them tomorrow morning!
Night.
While Chen Ming slept, some changes gradually occurred in his small cabin.
The night passed silently. The next morning, Chen Ming woke up on time and was stunned in place when getting up.
The workbench in front of him had disappeared!
Subconsciously looking to the side, the wooden table exchanged last night was also gone, replaced by a wall instead!
"Is this... the upgraded cabin?"
Chen Ming said in disbelief.
He stood up and walked out of the cabin.
Outside, he saw that the overall area of the cabin had more than doubled!
[Simple Cabin]
[Owner: Chen Ming]
[Level: Level 3]
[Upgrades Required: 2000 wooden blocks, 1000 stone blocks, 300 iron blocks, 50 gold blocks!]
[Introduction: A rudimentary cabin, barely able to stand its ground in this alien world; however, it is still vulnerable before large predatory beasts. Please quickly improve various facilities inside the cabin!]
Seeing the upgrade requirements, even though he was mentally prepared, Chen Ming couldn't help but be amazed.
The number of wooden blocks, stone blocks, and iron blocks had doubled, and gold blocks even appeared as a new resource.
If he remembered correctly, in the Wheel of Fate before, there were only 10 gold block options!
Now, the upgrade required a full 50 blocks!
This showed how difficult it was.
The introduction actually made it clear that the level 3 shelter was just the beginning, and the previous stages were all transitional phases.
The future upgrades of the shelter would be even more challenging!
After eating breakfast, Chen Ming carried the dimensional backpack to the location of the Man-Eating Flower's tender shoots. After absorbing the block of flesh essence last night, the tender shoot had grown to half a meter tall, with a purple flower bud appearing on top!
Chen Ming once again placed a block of flesh essence next to the tender shoot for absorption.
Then he watered the Stardust Golden Grain Rice seeds and went outside to check the damage to the fence.
He did not forget the wolf pack's attack last night!
After he arrived at the fence, he saw a scene that instantly made his expression serious.
