Chapter 52 Iron Armor Deal
After eating and drinking, Xu Xin made a video call to Li Wenxi.
The connection was quickly connected there, but it was not connected with a watch in the tree house.
"Are you back? When I finish my work, I will go up and return the pork to you. As promised in the morning, I have already divided the tenth." Li Wenxi had a dirty face and a pickaxe in his hand. , the surroundings were quite dark, and it looked like they were digging in a mine.
Even the pickaxe has been replaced by an iron pickaxe?
She is indeed a rich woman whose family owns iron ore.
"Okay, if you want to keep more, you can just exchange it for iron ore."
"No, no, no, I can't even finish the tenth." Li Wenxi shook her head, then turned the camera away from her face, "It's okay, I'm dead. I'm mining, and I'm so dirty. Ugly!”
"Okay."
After hanging up the call, Xu Xin, who had everything ready, decided to recharge her batteries for tomorrow's event, commonly known as: showing off.
So he lay on the bed, playing with Coco who was napping, and started browsing regional channels on his watch.
The regional channel at this time is still very lively. The novice protection period has ended, the beasts in the jungle have returned, and dangers are everywhere. When there is sufficient water and food, most people choose to stay in a tree house.
Xu Xin discovered that there were only 6,998 people in the channel at this time, less than 7,000 people.
Even if those 50 people were eliminated yesterday, there would still be more than 7,000 people?
"Friends, have you noticed that there are no wild beasts around today!"
"You must have discovered it too late. Boss Ji Chaoyang told us early this morning and suggested that we go out and search for more supplies."
"Huh? I went out early in the morning, and I was still on tenterhooks this day. If I had known, I would have watched the regional channels first!"
"The [Xuan Hu Ji Shi] organization has posted the [Hemostatic Grass] obtained today on the trading platform. Everyone, go and take a look!"
"What kind of organization is not organized? It's just a group. The name sounds quite noble."
"Tomorrow is a new event, so we only have one day to rest and prepare..."
"Sigh, I don't know if there will be any final eliminations in this event."
"You might be lucky to be eliminated at the end. The first friend I met here got a copper treasure chest yesterday and was even ranked in the top 1,000. However, he was too seriously injured in the fight with the monster. This place can't treat it at all. Injury, his name has been grayed out today.”
"Oh my God!"
"Just waiting to die! It's terrible!"
"So friends, you must do what you can and don't get too seriously injured! Otherwise, the first 1,000 people will still die."
"I have to buy some styptic grass!"
"That person just now was a trap, right?"
It seems that in addition to their [Explorers], some people have also chosen to join the group to keep warm. However, their [Explorers] do not seem to have made a sound on the regional channel yet, probably because the people are not there yet.
Although anonymity is not allowed on the rankings, regional channels can still speak anonymously, so Xu Xin asked anonymously: "Are there no wild beasts around everyone?"
"Yes, some people have reached the border and still haven't seen the beast."
Xu Xin thought thoughtfully. He went hunting three kilometers away, and there were indeed no wild beasts within three kilometers of his tree house. He could tell this by glancing at the map. Of course, except for the group of piranhas in the middle of the lake.
It seems like today is indeed rest time.
Ji Chaoyang should also be hunting within three kilometers.
He also knew why dozens of people had died today. Some people died from injuries. Of course, it was also possible that some people just walked out of the protected area because of their brains.
"There is currently no cure for serious injuries, and you must not be seriously injured during exploration."
With this in mind, he opened the trading platform to see what he needed.
As he expected, there are still no blue-level resources on the trading platform. Blue-level resources are basically traded privately, and most of the people who have the ability to obtain blue-level resources are in his [Explorer] organization.
However, there are a lot of green-level resources, some of which he has never obtained before.
"Celery? Green vegetables, bought."
"These are some weird edible fungi, I bought them."
"Hey, there are even wild vegetables like dandelions? I bought them."
After searching the trading platform for a long time, he didn't find any useful resources. Instead, he spent a few negligible pieces of green wood in his inventory to exchange for various wild vegetables.
Eating meat all the time is unhealthy, so it’s better to eat more green vegetables.
He also saw some people selling hemostatic grass on the trading platform. There was a lot of it, and it must have been picked by the people from [Xuan Hu Ji Shi] he saw before.
Xu Xin looked at his group again. The [Explorers] were relatively quiet, and none of them were the kind of people who had nothing to do with chatting.
At this time, Li Wenxi finally sent a video call to him. After the connection, she no longer looked that dirty on the screen, and her hair was still a little wet.
"I'll trade it back to you now, and I'll keep one-tenth of it."
"Okay." Xu Xin agreed to the deal, kept some for herself, and put the rest of the pork on the shelves.
"By the way, I want to ask, why are there wild beasts around your tree house? I turned around and saw nothing." Li Wenxi asked curiously, "Is it related to your gold treasure box?" < br>
"Well... my range of movement is wider than yours."
"That's great. I also want to hunt some wild beasts. I can't make a heavy crossbow without animal sinews. Do you have any extra? I'll trade my resources with you!"
Xu Xin shook his head: "No more, I have used it myself."
"Oh, okay." Li Wenxi was a little disappointed.
"There should be wild beasts in tomorrow's event. You have iron armor and can deal with them."
"That's right!"
"I want to trade you some wood for some iron ore. Do you have more iron ore?"
“There are so many that I don’t want to continue mining anymore.”
Li Wenxi directly took out the smelted iron block and exchanged it with him.
After hanging up the video, it was already dark. Xu Xin slowly fell asleep holding Coco in her arms.
Xu Xin was woken up by the vibration on his wrist. It was a voice call from Ji Chaoyang, the only person he allowed to initiate a voice and video chat with him.
He looked at the time, it was half past ten in the evening.
Xu Xin answered the voice call.
"What's wrong? It's so late."
"Late? Are you asleep? Everyone is here, come and show your face." Ji Chaoyang didn't expect Xu Xin to go to bed so early on the eve of the event.
"Oh? What is the name of that last person..."
"Qi Xuefei, ranked eighth."
After hanging up the voice, Xu Xin looked at the [Explorers] group chat, where everyone was welcoming Qi Xuefei.
This Qi Xuefei seemed to be a girl of few words. She only said "Thank you everyone" and said nothing more.
Ji Chaoyang: "Okay, now that everyone is here, let me repeat what I told you."
Xu Xin's eyelids trembled as she watched Ji Chaoyang express in words the purpose of establishing the organization and what it was going to do.
"...嘤?"
Coco was awakened by Xu Xin's movements. It glanced at the screen projected by the watch, turned around and continued to sleep.
"Do you have any questions?"
"There is no boss!"
"No problem."
"I have a problem." Qi Xuefei, the new member, suddenly said, "I want a set of armor right now. Who can make it for me, you or Xu Xin?"
Qin Yunlong: "We also want two sets of armor."
Ji Chaoyang: "Do you have any raw materials? Iron ore is scarce now, and I don't have any extra."
Both fell silent.
At this time, Li Wenxi suddenly sent him a private message: "Should I provide them with iron ore?"
Xu Xin replied: "It's up to you."
"It's a bit troublesome. How about this? How about I trade iron blocks with you and you make them for them?"
"You can trade iron ore directly with them."
"I don't want others to know that I have a lot of iron ore, and you have to keep it secret for me! And there is no way to sell raw materials to consumers, only selling them to producers is normal operation."
"Well, that makes sense. That's fine. Happy cooperation."
If you don't have resources, you won't make any money.
After the transaction with Li Wenxi, Xu Xin said directly in the group: "I have a source of iron ore that I can sell to you, but you have to come up with a price that satisfies me."
This price naturally refers to the materials used for exchange.
Qi Xuefei, Qin Yunlong: "Private chat."
Qi Xuefei sent him a private message the next second, which was the attribute of a resource. Seeing this resource, Xu Xin's pupils shrank.
[Hemostatic Grass (Blue): A magical grass that can quickly recover from serious injuries! Cannot regenerate limbs or organs. 】
She actually has blue grade hemostatic grass!
"Blue-level hemostatic grass can save lives at critical moments. This one is replaced by a green-level armor."
To be honest, this deal was not a loss for Xu Xin. He just exchanged green-level wood and blue-level consumable fruits for iron blocks with Li Wenxi. The cost for him was very low, but he had the technology in hand, so he naturally knew about the iron armor. How precious it is to others.
"Three styptic grasses and a suit of iron armor."
"...Three plants are too many. This is a life-saving herb. The iron armor is just green-level armor. Two plants at most."
"Deal, let me remind you, the armor is very heavy, you may not be able to wear it."
"You don't have to worry about that."
Xu Xin immediately made a green-level armor and initiated a deal with Qi Xuefei. The other party also immediately agreed to the transaction.
After receiving two blue-grade hemostatic grasses, Xu Xin couldn't help but smile as she looked at the blue-light grasses in her hands. He's not even afraid of getting hurt now. As long as he doesn't have missing arms or legs, it won't be a big problem.
Over there, Qin Yunlong took out a blue-grade red berry. Xu Xin also had it, and he knew that one red berry plant could produce more than thirty fruits. Judging from the fruiting cycle of apple trees, The red berries might last for ten days, so they're not too expensive.
However, as Coco's rations and the huge amount of supplies he consumes at night, the more of this stuff, the better.
"Fifty red berries, I'll give you two sets of iron armor."
"Fifty?! This is a blue-level resource!"
"Don't think I don't know. I have this thing too. The red berry bush is the truly precious blue-grade resource. The red berry is just a product. It can produce more than thirty fruits at a time. Fifty is the minimum price."
Seeing that Xu Xin was not easy to fool, his tone softened. The two argued for a long time. In the end, Xu Xin exchanged two sets of green-level iron armor for forty red berries.
"Go to sleep, go to bed, recharge your batteries." Xu Xin, who was finally done with her work, lay on the bed and gradually fell asleep. (End of chapter)
