Chapter 2 Going Out For The First Time
【Today's weather】
Today is a nice sunny day!
The best choice when going out to collect supplies.
Day length: six hours
it's clear
Temperature: 12-18℃
Climate trend: The cold wave is coming. Be sure to collect enough supplies for the winter and keep warm!
The temperature during the day has risen a lot, more than ten degrees higher than at night.
It's daytime now, and more than ten minutes have passed.
It shows there are five hours and forty-five minutes of daylight left.
Qi Yuan was in no hurry to go out.
Instead, he took out the "Mist Survival Manual" and checked to see if anyone else had left the shelter.
By the way, let’s also take a look at the information needed to upgrade the shelter. Although I read it yesterday, I need to confirm it again.
Shelter: Level 1 cabin (ten square meters)
"A dilapidated wooden house is difficult to shelter from wind and rain. Upgrade your shelter as soon as possible!"
Level 1 Shelter Facilities: None
Shelter Upgrade: 0/100 Wood
0/50 stone
Seeing that there were no facilities in the Level 1 shelter, Qi Yuan shook his head helplessly.
If you can't improve the level of your shelter, you will have to live in a dilapidated wooden house.
The goal these days is clear: collect wood and stone.
Upgrading your shelter should be the first issue everyone faces.
Just as Qi Yuan thought, the chat channel became lively again.
"I...I'm going to freeze to death...This shabby wooden house is too crude, and it actually leaks air!"
"I'm so hungry! I haven't eaten for two days! Who has something to eat?!"
"Who has food? I'll exchange it for 200,000!"
"Are you kidding me upstairs? Who is not broke at this time? How can I give you something to eat?"
"Don't talk about 200,000, it's useless even if you have 2,000,000! Do you think you can go back?"
"..."
"I also wanted to make a fire to keep warm, but I found that the Level 1 shelter didn't have any facilities!"
"Brother, this tells us that the first task is to improve the level of the wooden house!"
"Then what are you talking about? There are only six hours in the day, why don't you go out and chop trees right away."
"Hey guys, I've been chopping for ten minutes!"
"Damn it, you're already rolled up?"
"Thanks a lot, brother! I've been worried that it would be dangerous to leave the cabin. Thank you for trying for me. Since there's no danger, I'll go out and chop down the trees!"
"Old cunt!!!"
"Hurry, hurry, it's only six hours, everyone rush!!"
…
Qi Yuan didn't read much, just briefly understood the situation in the "World Chat Channel".
Close the "Mist Survival Manual" and carry it with you to prevent it from falling, and stuff it directly into the inner pocket of your clothes.
Pick up the newbie item on the table: the stone axe.
Pick up the stone ax and display the information about the stone ax:
Name: Ordinary grade stone ax (Item level: Ordinary<Good<Excellent<Rare...)
The simplest ax can barely cut wood. It takes a long time, consumes a lot of energy, and is easily damaged.
Qi Yuan looked helpless and couldn't help but want to complain.
This stone ax couldn't be more crude, but it was better than nothing.
Qi Yuan took the "Mist Survival Manual" and the stone ax and closed the door of the wooden house.
The environment outside is very good, with lush grassland in sight and green woods not far away.
Looking further into the distance, there is a thick layer of white fog that makes it impossible to see clearly.
This is mentioned in the "Mist Survival Manual".
There is no fog within a 300-meter radius of the shelter, and it is relatively safe.
300 meters to 2000 meters is a mist area, and the field of vision is reduced, but it is still possible to explore. However, the risk has increased.
Beyond 2,000 meters, it is a dense fog area.
Dense fog areas are filled with thick fog and visibility is almost zero.
Moreover, the danger in dense fog areas is extremely high.
So for most people, the explorable area is only 2,000 meters.
Of course, this range is not static.
As the shelter is upgraded, both the fog-free zone and the mist zone will expand.
In summary, it’s all about upgrading your cabin.
…
Qi Yuan cautiously walked into the lush grass.
The weeds were almost ankle-deep, the dew rubbed on my feet, and my trouser legs were wet.
Seeing the dew on the ground, Qi Yuan was actually moved. After all, he didn't drink water all night.
But considering that it would be a waste of time to collect, I gave up for the time being.
Along the way, the weeds were not too high, but Qi Yuan still walked carefully.
Walking in the misty world for the first time, you can never be too careful.
The trees are not far away, it only takes a few minutes to walk.
Without hesitation, Qi Yuan directly tried to cut down the tree to judge the difficulty of obtaining the wood.
The efficiency of resource acquisition is very important.
The blunt stone ax struck the tree, leaving a not-so-deep gash.
Qi Yuan felt very strenuous.
According to this efficiency, how long does it take to collect 100 units of wood?
The sound of "bang bang" echoed through the woods.
It took almost fifteen minutes before I could chop down a tree.
A tree collects 6 units of wood.
It was difficult for Qi Yuan to swing the stone ax continuously for fifteen minutes.
After cutting down a tree, you need to rest for a while.
It took nearly an hour to cut down just three trees.
18 units of wood have been piled aside. Qi Yuan planned to take a break and transport the wood to the wooden house first.
According to this kind of work efficiency, it is difficult to upgrade the wooden house to the second level in one day.
It is impossible to collect even 100 units of wood, let alone 50 units of stone.
There are only six hours of daylight. There are many things to do in these six hours, and you can't all use them to chop down trees.
The most important thing is food and water!
If you can't replenish your physical strength as soon as possible, you will soon starve to death in this foggy world.
The second is the issue of keeping warm!
We had seen how cold the weather was last night, and this was before the cold wave came.
Once the cold snap comes, the temperature will definitely drop to incredible levels.
Qi Yuan must find suitable warm items before the weather gets cold.
The first thing to collect wood is to consider the time it takes to cut down trees.
If the wood is collected quickly enough, upgrade the shelter as quickly as possible.
But now it seems that upgrading the shelter cannot be completed in a short time, so the goal was immediately changed.
Qi Yuan planned to transport this batch of wood back to the cabin and then solve the food problem first.
…
After transporting the wood back to the cabin, Qi Yuan hit the road again.
The woods where the trees had just been cut were to the east of the cabin, and there was no edible food seen along the way.
This time Qi Yuan planned to go north.
But as soon as he walked out of the wooden house, his eyes were caught by a flash of metallic light in the grass in front of him.
If you read it correctly, this is a bronze box!
Resource box? ! !
Qi Yuan was suddenly pleasantly surprised and couldn't help pinching himself hard to make sure he wasn't dreaming.
After making sure there was no danger around, Qi Yuan ran over quickly.
This resource box is introduced in the "Mist Survival Manual".
In the fog survival world, in addition to manually collecting resources, there is another way to obtain precious resources.
That's the resource box!
Resource boxes are randomly refreshed and distributed in every corner of the foggy world.
And there are different qualities, the higher the quality, the smaller the quantity.
(Resource box quality: Wooden resource box<Bronze resource box<Silver resource box<Gold resource box...)
The resource box contains various supplies needed for survival.
For example, food, water, seeds, tools, wood, stones, prop manufacturing drawings, etc...
Items like blueprints can also be obtained through normal collection, but the probability is very low.
The main way to obtain them is through resource boxes.
Moreover, the quality and rarity of the items in the resource box are generally relatively high.
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Qi Yuan quickly picked up the resource box from the weeds.
The resource box is not big, and the light cyan bronze luster is particularly eye-catching.
According to the "Mist Survival Manual", wooden resource boxes have a relatively high probability of appearing.
The higher the level of the resource box, the lower the probability of its appearance.
Originally, Qi Yuan only expected to pick up a wooden resource box, which would be great.
Unexpectedly, I was so lucky that I picked up a bronze resource box as soon as I went out.
You know, this is the first day of survival.
Currently, there are only two qualities of resource boxes in the entire mist world: wooden resource boxes and bronze resource boxes.
And the number is also extremely rare, and people may not always find it when it appears.
Not to mention the even rarer bronze resource chests.
Qi Yuan opened the bronze resource box with anxiety.
A green light filled the air from the box.
Qi Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, but still couldn't bear to look away, staring closely at the inside of the box.
The green light dissipated, revealing the items in the box.
There are three things in total.
The first is an iron pickaxe.
With a thought, the information about the pickaxe appeared before his eyes.
Name: Iron Pickaxe (Good)
"A good quality iron pickaxe with no other bonuses, used for mining ore."
This iron pickaxe is not very good, it is only one level higher than the ordinary stone axe.
This is normal!
Because the bronze resource box will most likely only contain items of three qualities: ordinary, good, and excellent.
It's normal to get good quality, and it's just luck to get excellent quality.
If a bunch of ordinary-level items were opened, you would have to consider yourself unlucky.
Putting away the pickaxe, Qi Yuan then reached out and picked up a ball of light.
This is a ball of light that resembles a transparent glass ball.
A small and exquisite object appeared inside the light ball.
With a thought, information emerged.
[Name: Flower Garden (Good)
"For indoor planting, it can increase the rate of seed growth
Normal level seeds: 10% increase
Good grade seeds: increase by 5%"]
This is a garden item that can slightly increase the growth rate of seeds, although not much.
But for survivors who can only live in wooden houses, it is definitely a rare good thing.
Qi Yuan was already grinning from ear to ear with joy.
Such an unexpected gain quickly improved Qi Yuan's ability to survive.
Even if you don't use it yourself, you can still get a lot of money by selling it on the trading platform.
However, the pickaxe and flower garden are needed in the near future, so Qi Yuan will naturally not sell them.
The last item is a scroll.
"Is this the item manufacturing scroll mentioned in the "Mist Survival Manual"?" Qi Yuan murmured to himself.
Unlike flower beds that have been made, they are gone once you use them.
With a crafting scroll, you will always have the crafting method.
Whether it is already made items or making scrolls, each has its own benefits.
Although the flowerbed is useless if it is damaged, you do not need to make it yourself after all, which reduces labor costs and material collection time.
Although making scrolls can be used for a long time, it is very troublesome to collect the materials for making them.
Qi Yuan opened the last item without hesitation.
As expected by Qi Yuan, this was indeed a manufacturing scroll.
[Name: Healing Potion Making Scroll (Good)
Material: 2 tree roots
1 Flesh Essence
50ml purified water
Used to treat minor injuries, such as colds, fevers, traumatic wounds, etc. Can be taken internally or externally. 】
Qi Yuan had an expression of surprise on his face!
In surviving in the wild, being hungry is not the most terrifying thing.
The most terrifying thing is disease!
It is possible that a slight cold or a minor wound can develop into an incurable disease.
With a population of 7 billion, there will definitely be no shortage of people injured in accidents.
There is absolutely no need to worry about selling the healing potion.
The only troublesome thing is the production materials.
Tree roots are easier to understand. Just dig out the roots when cutting down the tree.
Purified water is also relatively easy to obtain.
Although no water source has been found yet, it will not be too difficult to obtain water, otherwise most people will not be able to survive.
What bothered Qi Yuan the most was the "essence of flesh and blood".
Qi Yuan had never even heard of it.
However, based on the name, it is speculated that it is most likely obtained from animals.
There is currently no food to satisfy hunger, let alone meat.
Making the healing potion can only be postponed.
The most important thing now is to find food and water.
