“Hey? Did you guys notice? The glowing pattern on the central pillar of the Tent seems to have shortened quite a bit!”
“It really has, mine’s already lost a third!”
“Holy crap! Why is mine less than 1/5 left? What’s going on?!”
“Could this thing be the health bar of the outside shield?!”
“Ah! It seems it really is. Today, there was a bird attacking the shield outside. After I chased it away, I came back and found it had shortened quite a bit!”
“Ah?! No way, something attacked my Tent today, and I didn’t bother with it. Now there’s only a small section left!”
“Help! My energy pillar is out of energy! I just went out to check, and the Magic Shield outside has disappeared!”
“Help! Someone save me! My shield just broke, and now there’s a leopard Demon Beast attacking my Tent!”
9873 / 10000
As the message was sent, the number of people in the channel decreased by one.
Jiang Xun then saw that out of the original 10,000 people in the entire area channel,
Over a hundred people had already died without him even realizing it!
These hundred-plus people even died silently!
They didn’t even make a ripple!
Jiang Xun looked at his own energy, which was only half left, and immediately made up his mind.
He absolutely had to upgrade the Tent tonight!
Otherwise, if he was attacked again tonight, he wouldn’t even know how he died!
He didn’t dare to gamble whether other Demon Beasts would also be scared away by his two roars!
Everyone in the chat channel also quickly adjusted their mindset.
They all quickly understood that this was not an “Otherworldly Farmhouse.”
But a Wasteland World where people could truly die!
Thinking of this, Jiang Xun discovered a blind spot.
That is, where did the two words “Wasteland” in this “Magic Wasteland World” come from.
Although his environment was dangerous, it looked full of vitality!
In any case, it was quite different from a Wasteland full of radiation and ruins everywhere.
He shook his head and simply stopped thinking about it.
After all, there were too many unknowns in this world, and he couldn’t possibly keep track of them all.
Survival was the most important thing!
He no longer cared so little about his own life!
He posted his trade information: 1:1 【raw wood】 for 【raw stone】, quantity * 50.
He began to prepare the materials for the upgrade.
In less than a minute, the materials he put up were all traded.
Jiang Xun was not surprised by this speed.
Because everyone’s birthplace environment was almost different.
The resources that could be Gathered around were also different.
In the Trade Center, the quantities of raw wood and raw stone were almost maintained at around 1:1.
It seemed everyone was scared and began to rush to prepare the materials needed for the Shelter upgrade.
After all, although there were few people who could gather the required materials in just one day, Jiang Xun was certainly not the only one.
Under a large base, there were definitely not a few people who had encountered special opportunities!
Then Jiang Xun began to look through the items he had that could serve as “magic material”:
But he found that none of the three “Firefly” level fruits would work.
However, the “Firefly” level 【hardwood】 and 【magic iron ore】 he Gathered could!
It seems “magic material” refers to materials that can be maintained for a long time!
He threw the dark ore aside.
Jiang Xun did not plan to use these two items as the “main material” for the upgrade.
Nothing else, just not enough prestige!
He opened his magic book and turned to the 【Shelter Information】 page:
【Glimmer-grade “Magic Tent”】
“A must-have temporary equipment for travelers, it can barely shield from wind and rain and block attacks from small Demon Beasts. Please upgrade as soon as possible!”
Shelter Facilities: Lesser Magic Shield (45%)
Shelter Upgrade: 100 / 100 raw wood, 110 / 100 raw stone, 0 / 1 magic material (Please add)
Additional Effects: None
...
Seeing this, Jiang Xun’s eyes narrowed.
He had just thought of this inconspicuous piece of information:
Additional Effects!
Jiang Xun estimated that this “magic material,” which served as the main upgrade material, was the key to adding “Additional Effects” to the Shelter!
Looking at the items in his hand, Jiang Xun impulsively put all ten fruits he had on the market.
The exchange item column read: 【emerald aura fruit】, 【ruby raspberry】, 【Amber Yangtao】 for 【raw wood】, 【raw stone】, or other items, ratio 1:1000
Note: Can private message
Jiang Xun also set up trading rules:
Everyone could post their trade item information and send him a 【Trade Request】.
And Jiang Xun could choose whether to trade after checking the other party’s trade item information.
Soon after setting it up, a series of “ding-ding-dang-dang” notification sounds came, ringing densely!
As Jiang Xun expected, countless 【Trade Requests】 were sent.
Jiang Xun was delighted!
There were indeed quite a few people who recognized the value!
He quickly opened the trade information to check, but the more he looked, the more his head ached:
【Trade Request: raw wood * 1, Message: Private message for photos!】
Jiang Xun hesitated slightly, then closed the request.
He was afraid the other party was a muscular man!
【Trade Request: raw stone * 1, Message: Your item isn't worth much, I have plenty here, I’ll help you see if it’s poisonous!】
Jiang Xun: You see what, you big idiot!
He didn’t expect the system chat to have keyword filtering. Jiang Xun directly blocked him!
【Trade Request: Poisonous Mushroom * 20, Message: Exchange for 1 Glimmer Fruit, buddy, eat with confidence, I just ate it, it’s not poisonous at all!】
As soon as he opened it, Jiang Xun watched the trader’s avatar turn black...
【Trade Request: Breadfruit * 1, Rabbit Head * 1, Spiritual Spring Water * 200mL, Are you hungry, brother? Fruit isn’t filling at all!】
It really wasn’t filling... but he wasn’t stupid either!
【...】
The more Jiang Xun looked, the darker his face became. He decisively opened the filtering function!
Filtering out “No-grade” level resources, the trades suddenly became much fewer.
However, there were still several hundred left.
He could only click filter again, filtering out “Glimmer” level items!
Immediately, only a scattered few dozen messages came into view:
【Trade Request: Golden Coconut * 1 for Amber Yangtao * 1 + emerald aura fruit * 1, Message: Coconut increases Magic Value limit.】
【Trade Request: Starlight Grass * 1 for emerald aura fruit * 1, Message: Let’s trade one, I guarantee you won’t lose out.】
【Trade Request: Frozen Crystal Ore * 1 for emerald aura fruit * 2, Message: Can cool down, and can also be used as magic material.】
【Trade Request: Frost Wolf Mane * 1 for ruby raspberry * 1, Message: Can be used as magic material for upgrades, or as weapon crafting material.】
【Trade Request: Magic Copper Ore * 1 for Amber Yangtao * 1, Message: I suppose you also want to upgrade your Tent as soon as possible.】
【Trade Request: magic-patterned mutton * 2kg, for Amber Yangtao * 1, Message: Long-term consumption can increase physical fitness, long-term trade possible.】
...
People who could trade with “Firefly” level resources clearly spoke with a bit more prestige.
These people either had special encounters or were brave enough to even kill Demon Beasts alone.
Jiang Xun couldn’t help but sigh.
Humans are truly adaptable creatures. A large portion of people have already fully integrated into this world!
Although there were still people who wanted freebies, most trade requests were still reasonable.
After all, among those who obtained higher quality items in just one day, none were fools!
Looking at the various 【Trade Requests】 before him, Jiang Xun quickly made a decision...
