Wow.
Wow!
The wind and sand in the sky are like locusts passing by, devouring all living creatures on the ground wantonly.
Yellow tornadoes gathered together, reaching directly into the sky. It really seemed like a giant dragon was swimming between heaven and earth.
It was already the early morning of the third day of the main race, and it happened to be the dead of night on the first day outside.
However, there are still many players hanging in the sky watching, and all of them are heartbroken.
“Fortunately, this natural disaster did not break out in the New World, otherwise it would have caused chaos!”
“It deserves to be called a fire and dust storm, and you can see sparks flying in the air. "
"The participating players are miserable. Not only do they have to face a shortage of water and food, they also have to find a way to escape this disaster."
"Escape? The severity of minor natural disasters is so abnormal, how do you still expect to hide until a major natural disaster comes?”
"The main race lasts only thirty days, and the average time for each terrain is just over three days. If you use it in the desert, what will you do with the remaining terrain?"
"What can you do? , Is there anyone who can survive this terrible natural disaster?”
“Hey, don’t tell me, Su Shen is an exception. The wind and sand outside are so strong that people in the house are not affected at all.”
"What? A house?"
Earth Fire Desert, the second stage, at the bottom of a sand dune.
The yurt-like studio unfolded, and sharp wind and sand constantly hit the walls, making rustling sounds.
Sometimes it's mild, and sometimes it's intense.
But they are all blocked by solid materials and have no impact on the residents inside.
“Fortunately, I bought this studio yesterday, otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to sleep well at night.”
Lifting the simple curtains, I looked at the raging yellow sand outside through the highly transparent plastic board. of barren desert.
Sumo's eyes brightened slightly, and his energy level was obviously much better than yesterday.
Unlike a single tent where it is difficult to turn over at night, living in this studio is much more comfortable.
The space is large and warm inside.
Apart from the lack of beds, I can’t find any other faults.
“Lord, you’re awake!”
The studio door opened, and Qi Jie with a happy face walked in, holding the collector he had buried last night.
Except for the slightly turbid color of the liquid, the amount of water collected is basically the same as the night before.
"You can drink, I'm not thirsty yet."
Suma waved his hand, not feeling thirsty at all.
I felt my stomach. The Earth Fire Reed I forcibly swallowed last night made me feel nauseated and heartburned.
This is a side effect.
Not only does it require a lot of drinking water, but it will also affect the endocrine of the eater to a certain extent.
Even the powerful digestion power of route players cannot bear it.
Assuming that things go on like this if no other food can be found, people may eat this reed too much and it may have to be discarded.
“How did they sleep last night?”
"In our corner, we made a small shed with collected reed poles."
Inviting other contestants into the studio to spend the night is also a kind of help.
Even if it only requires fifty points, the three people who are almost at the end of their rope are not willing to spend an extra penny.
Following the position pointed by Qi Jie, Sumo glanced and saw a low triangular windproof awning erected near the studio.
One side faces the outside and the other side is attached to the wall.
As long as you can judge the direction well, you can basically ensure that you will not be affected by too much wind and sand.
“Those two aliens were very stubborn and slept in the wind all night.”
The two aliens didn’t leave all night, and were waiting about three hundred meters away from the campsite. .
It was clear that he was going to be used as meat on the hob. Wherever Somo went, they followed him.
“It’s okay, let these two guys follow, there will always be times when you can’t hold on anymore.”
"The wind and sand are too strong right now. We won't leave for now. You have to go out and collect more reeds on the belt. I can use them."
He called Qi Jie to collect more reeds and came back. The latter happily Nod and leave.
Compared with rushing in such weather, it is not very comfortable to just move around.
Seeing him leave, the three people who were still in the windproof tent also quickly followed, and their spirits also recovered a lot.
“I was still hesitating last night whether to upgrade this thing, but now it seems that it is just needed.”
Somo stood up, stretched his muscles, and took out the food processor from the corner and placed it on the countertop.
With a thought, the upgrade panel quietly unfolded.
[Modular Food Processor (One Model)]
[Description]: A special machine manufactured using modular technology
[Upgrade Route 1]: Two-module food processor (new modules are randomly added to bring other special attributes.)
Upgrade consumable items survival points: 168
[Upgrade Route 2]: Three-mode food processor (two new modules are randomly added to bring other special attributes)
Upgrade consumable items survival Points: 300
[Upgrade route three]: Modular food decomposer (change the internal structure of the device, add new functions, and can directly extract effective ingredients from food for synthesis)
Upgrade consumption Item survival points: 450
[Upgrade route four]: Modular food synthesizer (put in basic ingredients to synthesize food, the machine will automatically extract the active ingredients inside the food and output the finished food)
Upgrade consumable items survival points: 650
< br>[Upgrade route five]: Modular gourmet robot (after it is turned on, it can automatically search for ingredients around it to decompose and synthesize delicious food.)
Upgrade consumable items survival points: 1800
[Evaluation]: A qualified food processor should go out and look for food by yourself!
"So expensive"
Seeing the upgrade price of hundreds of points, Sumo felt a bit bitter.
This would be understandable if the survival point had not been revised, but the V1.1 version is a bit ridiculously expensive.
The most basic upgrade like this would cost 1,680 points when converted to the previous version.
The most expensive gourmet robot requires 18,000 points, which requires two months of survival points to accumulate.
"Leaving the main competition, no matter how powerful the upgrade of this food processor is, it can't compare with the products of the chef apprentices."
"So."
Suddenly thinking in his heart, Sumo soon had The choice was made.
Only the harmful substances in the reeds need to be removed, and the remaining high-quality protein and starch are enough to fill your stomach.
Although some greedy eyes can directly synthesize active ingredients to produce finished food synthesizers.
But consider that the price difference between the two can create another water generator, or generate forty bottles of water.
“Choose the third way to upgrade, the modular food decomposer!”
The item survival points are deducted, and a green light emerges from Somo’s fingertips, which begins to change the internal structure of the food processor. .
Chi~
The sound of gear rotation sounded, and the machine itself began to deform obviously.
First, it shrank by a circle, and then suddenly expanded to more than double its original size.
The outlet on the back has been moved to the front, and some solar charging panels exposed to the outside have replaced their original positions.
And at the top of the machine, a palm-sized screen appeared.
“It’s exactly the same as the operating logic of an oil well!”
Sumo looked surprised, his eyes bright.
When I called up the properties panel again, it was completely different from before.
[Modular food decomposer (one model)]
[Description]: A special machine manufactured using modular technology. It is highly portable and can be used directly in the wild. Decompose ingredients and synthesize the most basic food components.
[Weight]: 8.85kg
[Module level]: One module (primary reduced integrated module)
[Function]: Decomposition, synthesis
[Charging method]: Multiple energy supply (including emergency solar energy)
[Evaluation]: Please do not try to consider self-production and self-marketing, machines also have dignity !
“The weight of the machine has quadrupled, and its functions are much simpler than before. There are only two functions left: decomposition and synthesis. Well, it seems that the internal structure has been completely changed”
Sumo looked at the meeting board and finally brought some uneaten reed roots.
Stuff it into the feed port and the small screen will pop up automatically.
【Unrecorded plant input detected, ingredients being detected. 】
【Detection successful. 】
【The currently decomposable components are: protein, fat, carbohydrates, polymerized D-glucose, polymerized D-galactose, and trace vitamins. 】
【Decompose? 】“Sure enough, it can remove harmful impurities from the earth fire reed!”
The moment he saw the decomposed components, Sumo instantly felt that the survival points he just spent were indeed worth it.
No doubt, as long as enough reeds are collected.
You don’t have to worry about the food issue during the main competition this time, as you can easily synthesize a large amount of resources.
Click to disassemble, and there is a clicking sound inside.
The speed is not slow, and one kilogram of reeds has been completely decomposed in about three minutes.
At the same time, the prompt text on the screen has also changed.
[The decomposed ingredients have been stored and can currently be synthesized]
[Carbohydrates]: rice (0.42kg), flour (0.38kg), vermicelli (0.47kg)
[Protein]: Plant meat (0.11kg)
[Sugar]: Glucose (3.9g)
"Flour, rice!"
Just looking at the displayed text, Somo instantly felt that saliva had begun to secrete.
Compared to rough reed poles, this is simply enjoyable!
“All synthetic rice.”
Click the synthesis button on the screen, and the synthesis time is displayed.
Slightly slower than water production, it actually takes twenty minutes to complete the synthesis.
But just in time, Somo took advantage of the synthesis time to quickly weave some reed stems and leaves into the shape of an iron pot.
Click to upgrade and spend fifteen points.
The material of the reed pot has changed, becoming a thin iron pot that can be placed on the fire.
"Fortunately, I have been working hard to accumulate points in the past six months, otherwise I would not be so wealthy now."
"Comfortable!"
Su Mo let out a long sigh of relief, and said something in his heart The feeling of pleasure that never comes out.
Especially after taking out the small pound of white rice from the discharging port, this feeling suddenly became stronger.
With a pot, water, and fuel, the rest of making a fire is naturally easy.
In order to complete the daily task of 'Fire Prophet' last night, Qi Jie had already started a fire by rubbing reed poles in the shelter behind the studio.
Going out at this time, rummaging around for a while.
As expected, there was still unburnt fire in the fire, and the reed leaves ignited with a little breath.
“It’s easy now.”
Set up the iron pot, put the rice in, and then pour in fresh water one to one.
Soma kept the fire going while weaving a simple pot lid out of the remaining reed leaves.
The water in the iron pot boiled quickly, making a gurgling sound.
Compared with using a rice cooker to cook rice, although this method cannot control the softness and hardness, what do you care about in this situation?
"Brother Qi, look, why is there so much smoke burning over there in the studio?"
Guan Mao, who was still digging out reed poles in the sand, turned his head and was astonished. I saw black smoke rising straight into the sky.
"Could it be that the wind blew away the fire and set our tent on fire?"
"Holy shit?!"
Several people were stunned at the same time and quickly dropped their tents. The reeds spread out and ran wildly.
It’s a small matter if you burn the tent, but it’s a big deal if you light the studio on fire.
It’s hard to imagine the consequences of doing something like this under the eyes of billions of people.
However, before they could get close, they saw Sumo coming out from behind the studio.
I saw several panicked people running for their lives.
Su Mo was stunned: "What's wrong, have you encountered a foreign race?"
Didn't it mean that we can't fight each other in the main game? Is there really a foreign race that is not afraid of being eliminated directly?
“Huh?”
Qi Jie stopped and was stunned: "We saw black smoke and thought it was fire that was blown by the wind and lit the tent."
"Oh, that's it."
A smile appeared on Sumo's face: "That machine is very easy to use. I made some rice to cook and eat. You are back just in time. Go and take care of it for a while, and then I will study it."
"Rice?"
Xi Ruyue and the others who had just stopped suddenly felt a thump in their hearts.
What the hell?
Are you sure they heard correctly?
When Sumo returned to the studio, several people realized what they were doing and hurriedly walked to the shelter.
Sure enough, where the fire was lit there was a burning iron pot, which made a gurgling sound.
As Qi Jie opened the simple lid of the pot, there was tumbling and bubbling rice lying inside.
It's white and flowery, and the fragrance goes straight into the nose, making the greedy person feel sour in his stomach.
"Not bad. It seems that the machine is really easy to use. No wonder it's so expensive."
Qi Jie pretended to be calm, but the crooked smile on his face betrayed him at this moment. My heart is not at peace!
His intuition told him that it would be impossible for a machine with 400 points to make this kind of rice.
Otherwise, the two of them wouldn’t have had to eat the bitter reed stick last night.
And where did this iron pot come from? Could it be that the machine could make an iron pot?
But everything that happened in reality was as full of mystery as the fresh water we drank before.
Is this reasonable?
That makes sense!
Xi Ruyue and the others were even more envious in their eyes. They did not doubt the origin of the rice at all, and all they could think about was what it would taste like if they could eat it.
In order to save water, they didn't dare to eat a bite of the reed straw last night.
By now, I was already hungry.
"It's a pity that if you want to eat, you have to get at least fifty points, otherwise it's okay for you to share my share."
"Thank you, Brother Qi, we don't. Well, we I can still hold on now!"
Zhang Jun swallowed, explained dryly twice, and then forcibly turned his head and walked towards the tent.
Taking in the mouth-watering aroma, he picked up the reed stick and took a vicious bite.
Seeing this, Guan Mao and Xi Ruyue, feeling sour in their stomachs, also picked up one and ate it.
Huh.
The taste is pretty good.
At least it feels better than being hungry.
"Food is very important whether it is in the outside world or in the main game. This walk will work."
Sumo thought to himself when he caught a glimpse of this scene through the window.
The three of them can still hold on for now, but that may not be the case in the next few days.
The machine decomposes and synthesizes food ingredients without spending survival points. Even if you only sell it for 50 points, you will still make a profit.
If we can find a few more survivors, the number of points gained in a day can easily exceed four digits.
"Then, what's next?"
Seeing the strong wind and tornado outside, Somo's mind couldn't help but become active.
For thirty days, it was too difficult to walk through nine terrains with my legs.
Especially if there are different natural disasters in each terrain, it will be even more difficult.
So, a reasonable traveling tool is absolutely necessary.
"There is wind, and the wind direction is stable."
"The sand dunes are so solid, and they rise and fall more regularly."
Several shapes of desert vehicles flashed through my mind. Sumo soon had an idea.
