Chapter 5 Exchange of Goods
chat area:
Work Hard, Strive Hard: Is there any water? I haven't opened any bottled water. I didn't drink much water before entering the game, and I rode a bicycle. I'm dying of thirst. One vehicle upgrade fragment for two bottles of water.
The True European Emperor Has Arrived: You're so unlucky! That's a bit tragic! I'll trade with you; I don't lack these foods and water either. Let's exchange via private message!
Short-Tempered: @10389 You trash, we clearly agreed to trade two breads and one bottle of water for one vehicle upgrade fragment and one glass fragment. Now I've sent you the bread and water, but where are the vehicle upgrade fragment and glass fragment? Just you wait!
Friction Friction: Brother, you're so unlucky! I don't even dare to trade things; I've already been scammed once. My already poor family has been hit with another blow.
Work Hard, Strive Hard: @The True European Emperor Has Arrived Brother, you're my witness, I'm a trustworthy person. Everyone can trade with me in the future.
The True European Emperor Has Arrived: That's right. The person above is a good person. Before I could even say anything, he had already sent me the items. In the future, if anyone has vehicle upgrade fragments, glass fragments, or other basic materials that can upgrade a vehicle, you can trade with me too. My vehicle upgrade requires too many materials; I need to save up for a long time.
The King Called Me to Patrol the Mountain: It really is one bad apple spoiling the barrel. This will only make it harder for those who genuinely need things... It turns out some people have already started trading these items, it's just that during the novice period, the Trading Zone can't be opened yet.
It feels a bit unsafe; some people have already been scammed.
And there's no guarantee.
However, I also don't know if, after the novice period, if I still have the original vehicle, it might still be a bit dangerous.
Maybe it's better to wait a bit longer. After all, today is only the first day, and who knows, I might open them from treasure chests later!
To be safe, it's better not to trade things for now.
Zheng Wudi thought about how she still needed eight vehicle upgrade fragments, one glass fragment, and ten plastics, and secretly prayed that she could collect them successfully soon.
However, she still needed to pay more attention to the chat area in the future.
After all, she could also discern some people's personalities from the chat area.
This way, she could prioritize trading with them in the coming days.
It seems she still needed to work hard to find more treasure chests.
However, seeing the conversations of several people in the chat area, Zheng Wudi felt fortunate that she had the Good Luck Charmitem.
Otherwise, with her luck, it's imaginable that she wouldn't have opened so many good things.
But how did she get this Good Luck Charm item?
Did the system open a backdoor for her?
Never mind, it's better to drive diligently and look for treasure chests.
Hehe! Zheng Wudi thought her luck was pretty good; all these vehicle upgrade materials were obtained from opening treasure chests.
However, both times she opened wooden chests, and the contents weren't that abundant.
They just happened to contain the upgrade materials her vehicle needed.
Zheng Wudi originally planned to upgrade, but for a vehicle upgrade, the vehicle needed to remain stationary. Although it only took ten minutes to upgrade to an electric bicycle.
But there were only six hours of treasure chestrefresh time this day, and she had already wasted half an hour.
It's better to upgrade during her rest time.
For now, she should seize the time, quickly find treasure chests, and collect supplies.
And there was only half an hour left until the midday rest time.
She was a bit hungry. When she rested later, maybe she should have a hot pot. After all, today was the first day in the game, so she should have a hot pot to reminisce about the real world that was hard to return to.
chat area:
Believe Ultraman: @All Members Does anyone know how to gain experience points? My experience points haven't moved and are still zero. Do you know how to raise them? When I opened a treasure chest just now, I got a note. It disappeared after I read it, but something new popped up on my player level, showing that after upgrading my level, my physique seemed to increase. There were no other changes. But the most important point is that after reaching the second level, the entire Trading Zone can be opened.
Not an African Emperor: Oh my god, how can you guys open so many things from treasure chests? I only get some steamed buns and water.
The True European Emperor Has Arrived: I opened some water that can enhance physique. And also pills that can enhance mental power [Image].
The King Called Me to Patrol the Mountain: Pills that can enhance mental power? But there's no such thing on the personal information panel? Will the system upgrade later? Or is our current mental power generally too weak, so we don't have this panel?
Are You Crazy?!: I suspect the system interface might be able to upgrade later. I just don't know what the conditions are.
Four Years Minimum: Have you noticed that many things now don't have any descriptions? We need to unlock them ourselves for the rules and descriptions to appear.
Believe Ultraman: If that's the case, I think this system is very much like filtering people, filtering normal people.
European Emperor is Fake: Bullshit! What filtering? What the hell do you know? Get lost! All mystical nonsense!
Believe Ultraman: You know it all again? Mr. Know-It-All!
European Emperor is Fake: No, I think you're sick, aren't you? And you call me Mr. Know-It-All? You're easily misleading people like this. And 'normal people'~, I don't talk to childish people. Be~lieve~ Ul~tra~man~
Believe Ultraman: Damn, I haven't seen such a cheap person in a long time!
Four Years Minimum: Alright, you two should stop arguing. Calm down, calm down. Meeting is fate, and it's not easy to meet in this vast sea of people!
Believe Ultraman:...Fine, you win, to be able to say such cheesy, cutesy words.
European Emperor is Fake:...
The True European Emperor Has Arrived: Everyone, hurry up and find treasure chests! There are no monsters during the novice period now, so take this time to find more treasure chests to accumulate more things for the future.
The King Called Me to Patrol the Mountain: Exactly, exactly!
...Zheng Wudi heard the notification sound and looked at the chat group. She roughly glanced at what they were saying, then carefully read what Believe Ultraman and The True European Emperor Has Arrived posted about experience points and mental power.
She pondered the situation of these two things.
She couldn't figure it out, so she stopped thinking about it.
However, this The True European Emperor Has Arrived really had good luck.
Many people who drove cars were exchanging gasoline in the chat area, but he never seemed anxious about not having enough gasoline.
When she used to surf the internet, she thought there were quite a lot of abstract people.
But in this chat area, she realized her understanding was still too shallow.
Even after entering the game, some people still couldn't recognize themselves and change their mindset.
It hadn't been half a day, and the number of deaths was already approaching fifty.
Many people hadn't adjusted their mindset, and many committed suicide.
Zheng Wudi couldn't guarantee others, she could only make herself be more low-key, more cautious, and persevere longer.
It was finally eleven-thirty, and she could upgrade to an electric bicycle.
She could also use this time to eat a hot pot.
Woohoo, flying high with joy!
Wait, that's not right!
Zheng Wudi remembered that she had nothing to light wood with, and she couldn't make a fire. The most important thing was that she only had two bottles of mineral water.
Hehe! Then she wouldn't cook. She would take out a few dishes from the Manchu Han Imperial Feast and have a small remembrance. It was just a pity she hadn't opened any happy water.
Zheng Wudi blissfully enjoyed her feast.
The system sound rang in her ears, announcing that the vehicle upgrade was successful!
Zheng Wudi put the dishes into a steamed bun, walked over to the vehicle, intending to see her newly upgraded electric bicycle.
Hoo hoo, this electric bicycle...
