Ding!
Another notification sound came from the screen.
"Li Qingge: Hello, I only have three iron ingots, but I can offer two extra gold coins plus a crafting blueprint!"
A private message appeared on the screen, catching Ye Li's attention.
Especially when he saw that someone was offering a crafting blueprint in exchange.
Ye Li became even more interested and immediately replied, "What kind of crafting blueprint?"
"Li Qingge: A blueprint for a multi-functional car-mounted rice cooker!"
Rice cooker?
This item was indeed quite important.
With this, he wouldn't need to make a fire and could cook in the car.
After three days, when the eternal night descended,
and everything was plunged into darkness,
cooking and eating in the car would definitely be much safer than doing so outside.
"Deal!"
Ye Li replied directly.
The value of a blueprint already far exceeded the value of five iron ingots.
Only a fool wouldn't make the trade.
The two quickly completed the transaction.
A bottle of water disappeared from Ye Li's car.
At the same time, he gained three iron ingots, two gold coins, and a blueprint.
"Car-mounted Multi-functional Rice Cooker (Normal)"
"After learning, you can use a workbench to craft a decent multi-functional rice cooker that can make delicious meals."
"Crafting Materials: Ten iron ingots, one electronic component"
"Can be used once"
Looking at these two crafting materials,
Ye Li couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.
He only had the three iron ingots he'd just traded for, and now there was an unfamiliar electronic component.
He really needed to hurry up and open some chests!
Ye Li opened the chat channel.
He found the person who offered the highest price for wooden sticks and exchanged a bottle of water for two hundred wooden sticks.
Looking at the car full of wooden sticks, Ye Li felt a bit overwhelmed.
Fortunately, the workbench could synthesize wooden sticks into wood.
Twenty wooden sticks could be synthesized into one piece of wood.
Ye Li kept twenty wooden sticks and synthesized the other one hundred eighty into wood.
This saved a lot of space.
With the materials gathered, Ye Li crafted the iron axe and continued driving forward.
He still had more than half a day of invincibility time left.
Not a single second could be wasted.
Ding!
Ye Li drove another fifty kilometers.
The road was wide and flat, so Ye Li wasn't worried about hitting anything. He drove while observing the group chat,
to see if anyone was trading good items.
Unfortunately, after watching for a long time, there was nothing good.
Most people were just trading materials.
Iron ingots, wood blocks, rubber, plastic... all sorts of materials.
But, he still hadn't seen any so-called electronic components.
Nor had he seen anyone offering crafting blueprints.
After all, it had only been half a day.
Not many people would have found good items.
Even if they did, they weren't fools.
They would definitely prioritize trading for the most common items.
Ye Li drove boredly.
There was no music, no other sounds; he was the only one on the entire road.
If it weren't for how bumpy the damn car was,
Ye Li would have fallen asleep long ago.
Ding!
Just as Ye Li was about to fall asleep, another notification sounded.
"A resource area has been detected to the right of the car!"
"Resource area?"
Ye Li turned his head to look to the right of the car. About a hundred meters away was a dense forest.
From the outside, one tree after another, it was very dense and deep.
It was like a giant abyssal beast with its maw open, waiting for prey to fall into its trap.
"Let's go take a look!"
Ye Li didn't hesitate at all. He opened the car door and jumped out.
Anyway, he had invincibility time now, so he might as well gather more information.
Ye Li didn't even take out his Desert Eagle this time.
He just walked over with a single iron axe.
There was a small dirt path outside the forest that extended into it.
No one outside had warned him where the treasure chests were.
Ye Li could only walk and scan his surroundings intently, trying not to miss any spot within his visible range.
There were some bushes along both sides of the road.
Some of the bushes were growing bright red berries.
Ye Li walked over and picked some, putting them into his spatial ring for future use.
Cluck-cluck-cluck!
Just as Ye Li was concentrating on picking berries,
a sharp sound rang out.
Ye Li looked up and immediately chuckled.
A wild chicken burst out of the berry bush.
This berry patch was its territory.
It had been picked without its permission.
It was clear that there was anger burning in the wild chicken's eyes; it was very upset.
Whoosh!
With one swing of the axe,
the wild chicken, which had just pounced in front of Ye Li, was slammed to the ground by him.
"Do you want to harvest the wild chicken?"
"Harvest!"
The wild chicken's corpse immediately disintegrated.
"Obtained: Gold Coin * 1, Delicious Wild Chicken Leg * 2, Avian Feather * 5"
Looking at the chicken legs on the ground, Ye Li couldn't help but curl his lips.
Such a large, delicious wild chicken, and he only harvested two chicken legs.
It felt a bit like a waste.
Ye Li used his axe to poke around in the bushes a few times.
Sure enough, he found a bronze treasure chest.
With an excited heart, he opened the treasure chest.
As a golden light flashed, the contents of the box appeared before Ye Li.
"Windproof Lighter"
"Headlamp (Normal)"
"Electronic Component * 5"
This time's harvest could be said to be exactly what Ye Li wanted.
A lighter, a must-have for wilderness survival, not to mention.
With a headlamp, he could face the eternal night three days later.
He wouldn't have to get out of the car in the dark to search for supplies.
And electronic components.
It was truly getting whatever he wished for.
Now he just needed seven more iron ingots to craft the multi-functional car-mounted rice cooker.
He put all the items from the box into his spatial ring.
Ye Li continued to explore forward while collecting berries.
The animals in the forest were much more abundant than those seen on the grassland.
Monkeys, pythons, civets, squirrels, antelopes... they hid behind tree trunks deep in the forest.
They watched warily the man who had suddenly intruded into their forest.
Ye Li walked forward for nearly another five hundred meters.
The surroundings had grown much darker.
The tree canopy above was too dense, and no light from outside could penetrate.
Chilly winds blew from the forest, carrying a faint scent of blood.
Ye Li paused for a moment.
Finally, he took out the headlamp, put it on his head, and continued walking forward.
The light emitted by the headlamp was very bright.
He could clearly see everything within a twenty-meter radius in front of him.
Beyond twenty meters, it became blurry and indistinct.
Ye Li continued for another hundred steps.
Suddenly, low growls came from all around.
It was like a beast demonstrating its power to other creatures that had trespassed into its territory.
Ye Li stopped and looked into the woods on both sides.
Pairs of eyes, like rubies, opened from behind the trees.
They stared in his direction.
With the help of the headlamp's light, Ye Li finally saw the true appearance of these red-eyed monsters.
They were all humanoid monsters.
Similar to zombies in movies.
Their skin was sickly green, covered with bulging blood vessels.
Fangs protruded from their mouths, dripping black, foul-smelling liquid.
Their hands had evolved into claws.
They looked extremely sharp.
With just one glance,
Ye Li wanted to turn and run.
But then he remembered that he was currently in an invincible state.
Ye Li's courage immediately surged.
That's right, I'm invincible.
They should be the ones running!
With that thought, Ye Li tightened his grip on the iron axe and continued walking forward.
