Have fun testing it out in the sand.
After the system upgrade, the effect of the sailboard is finally much better, and the wear resistance has also been improved.
Based on the test results and identified attributes, it is estimated that a sandboard can be used for approximately two hundred kilometers.
Depending on the strength of the wind, 30% to 40% of the effort can be saved.
In addition, after wear and tear, you can use survival points to continue repairing it, and you can also reduce it after adding materials.
Sumo took off the sailboard from his feet and felt extremely satisfied.
But the surprise goes far beyond the sandboard.
Having not taken a few steps, I saw a humanoid alien walking in front of the door in the distance, seemingly waiting for him to come back.
“These aliens really couldn’t bear it anymore.”
It wasn’t the two people they met yesterday, and Sumo wasn’t surprised either.
There are thousands of contestants in total.
No matter how vast the desert terrain is, there are only two exits to the next terrain.
As long as everyone moves in the same direction, they will eventually come together.
“It seems that another amount of points is about to be earned.”
As soon as Sumo strode closer, he saw Catwoman Abe waiting at the door and quickly greeted him:
< br>
"Dear Mr. Sumo, the human lord, I am Abe, a member of the Mist Cat Clan."
"If you don't mind trading with foreigners, maybe I can bring you some surprises."< br>
Catwoman Abe moved quickly and decided to take the initiative without much hesitation.
The reason is simple.
Although Barry and Basha are not as durable as ordinary centaurs, they still have a lot of energy left.
Even if we stay here for another day, we can still rush to the third stage to try our luck.
The Dwarf Iron Tower is inherently resistant to high heat and lack of water because it is a blacksmith and is stationed in the foundry all year round.
In this hot weather like now, maybe it is still cool for him.
And she, the Mist Cat Clan.
Although he is unique in his stealth ability, he has no advantage at all in this desert.
If you continue to wait, you will only be at a greater disadvantage.
"You don't seem to be afraid of me?"
Sumo glanced at her lightly, but did not continue the conversation.
In an absolute seller’s market, buyers are not even qualified to negotiate and bargain.
Not to mention these alien races, they are all within his control.
"Although we, the Mist Cat Clan, are not friends of humans, we have never harmed any human beings."
Abe was full of humility: "I heard that the priests of the Austrian Clan talked about you, and you only hugged me. Aliens with malicious intentions will never kill innocent people."
"Ao tribe? Is it the lioness I met in the competition field?"
Suma Mian? He was expressionless, but there was a wave of excitement in his heart. He didn't expect that Connie's hidden secret would come into play so early. It was really beyond his expectation.
“Yes, we, the Mist Cat Clan, are stationed in Baiyue Canyon. Although there is a distance from the Ao Clan’s station, we often do business.”
Catwoman Abbey scratched her head, her pink-gold beard trembling slightly as the wind and sand blew by.
“Continue.”
Sumo did not change the subject this time and placed the board in his hand on the ground.
"We need food and drinking water. As long as you are willing to provide it, we will pay the price of points."
Abe said, seeming to feel a little empty:
"Mr. Sumo, all the items sold by the merchants are good things, but every good thing requires a lot of points. Just completing challenge tasks and daily tasks is definitely not enough."
"Of course I know that."
Sumo laughed.
“Points are important to me, and they are important to you too. Don’t you want good things from merchants?”
“This is the surprise I want to say.”
Abe nodded repeatedly, showing a hint of surprise: "I can be a transit station between you and the aliens, earn some price difference, and then sell things to more aliens."
Oh.
This Catwoman is really direct.
I have dealt with the twists and turns of the Blue Star people a lot, and it is really a bit unaccustomed to suddenly be together with the foreign race of the Zangzi.
But the other party made it clear, and Somo no longer hid it.
This was originally his purpose.
The transactions on the human side can be left to Qi Jie, there is no reason for the aliens to do it themselves.
If this Catwoman has the ability to bring more markets, Sumo wouldn't mind a "win-win" situation.
"One bottle of fresh water, one hundred and fifty points."
"One serving of food, fifty points."
"If you can buy more than five copies at a time, I will give you a 10% discount."
"If you can buy more than ten copies at a time, the discount can be up to 20%."
"Buy it The more, the greater the discount. I don’t care how much you sell it, or who you sell it to.”
It is naturally impossible to sell devices that can collect water to foreigners, but there is no such problem with finished resources.
When Catwoman Abe heard the price, she was not surprised, nor did she exclaim that it was expensive.
On the contrary, after calculating the commission she could get, she nodded quickly.
"No problem, but I need you to guarantee that you will only sell me a foreigner next, otherwise"
"This is impossible."
Sumo shook his head decisively: "If you want exclusive sales rights, you must first get 10,000 points, otherwise there is no need to negotiate."
"Ten thousand?"
Abe gritted his teeth, nodded and wrote down the number.
Then he pointed to the sail board on the ground: "Are you selling this?"
"Sell, as long as I haven't emphasized anything, you can sell it."
"This one. Five hundred points."
Abe was speechless at the high price.
But then I thought about it, the more expensive the price, the more difference I could earn.
"I understand."
I didn't have that many points on hand to purchase goods, so I hurriedly negotiated with Sumo a transaction method of paying one hand and delivering the goods.
Abe left the studio and jogged back to the sand dune where he was crouching before.
"I heard about it. This human Soma is indeed willing to trade with us, but the things he has are not cheap. A bottle of water costs two hundred points, and a piece of food costs 100 points!"
If you want to make a profit from the price difference, you must at least have a certain amount of capital.
It is not a good idea to rush for success before you have the exclusive rights to sell.
Abe obviously understood this truth and did not start the reselling business from the beginning.
On the contrary, he was very generous and told about the discount for more purchases, which made the two people stunned.
“If you buy five bottles, he will give us a 10% discount?”
"Ten bottles, 20%?"
It sounds like 10%, 20% may not seem like much, but the added up number cannot be ignored.
If you can resell it to other alien races, this will definitely be a big income.
“Only 10,000 points will give you the exclusive right to sell, so don’t think about it for now.”
“My opinion is that we can cooperate, then.”
I glanced at the iron tower not far away, where a man was sitting alone and resting in the sand pit with his eyes closed.
Catwoman Abe lowered her voice and told her plan.
They knew that human Soma had fresh water and food in his hands and was willing to sell it.
But other alien races don’t know that.
Using this valuable information gap, you will be able to accumulate your first pot of gold very quickly.
"One person earns one hundred, and one hundred people we can earn ten thousand."
"When the time comes to get this exclusive sales right, are you afraid that you won't be able to earn more points in the future?" Abe There was a hint of temptation in the words.
The young Basha could no longer hold back any longer. He fantasized about emptying the store in one go and greatly increasing his strength.
On the other hand, the mature and prudent Barry remained calm and asked the most critical question: "Fresh water and food are scarce now, but they may not be enough in a few days. We are reselling"
"It's not a problem. The worst we can do is make a fortune and leave."
"It's useless to consider the terrain behind. Who knows if this human Soma will come up with some good things?"
>Abe hits the nail on the head.
The two men nodded and discussed together for a while, and soon came up with a simple method of cooperation.
They have fast feet and are responsible for finding nearby foreign races.
Abe is responsible for buying things, selling things, and negotiating with this human Soma.
The points earned at that time will be distributed according to contribution.
If they find a foreigner, they will get 70% of the price difference.
If it is a passing alien race, everyone will share it equally, and Catwoman Abe can get 50%.
As for the iron tower.
Glancing at this "vindictive" little guy, the three of them naturally ignored him.
Man perishes for wealth, and birds perish for food.
The New World is not just about intense competition among humans.
The competition between their alien races has also reached a fierce stage. Every time the territory expands, small-scale battles will break out, and everyone wants to occupy a better position and gain an advantage.
As for the foreign race that can enter the main competition this time, which one does not carry a heavy responsibility.
A waste of opportunity like the Iron Tower is called naive at best, but stupid at worst.
Can such an idiot enter the main draw?
“We have to keep an eye on him, we can’t let this guy leak the news.”
“Find a way to get rid of him?”
A flash of light flashed in Basha’s eyes. Killing intent.
If it weren't for the restrictions of the game, he would have wanted to get violent and kill this dwarf right now.
“Don’t worry, human Soma is smart, as long as we can provide him with enough value.”
“He is not an ordinary person, he knows how to earn more.”
Abe comforted softly, and the three quickly reached a contract under the witness of Yugi.
One person invested 400 points, and a total of 1,200 points were used to trade with Somo.
Buy ten bottles of water first, one bottle for each person to quench their thirst.
The remaining seven bottles are used to sell to other alien races. As for the price, Abe is responsible for them.
As long as Sumo doesn’t lower the price, this transaction can be said to be a sure profit!
Huh.
Huh.
Severe storms blew from morning to noon, and from noon to evening.
On the third day of the fire and dust storm, almost no contestants chose to brave the wind and sand.
Basically hiding in a sheltered place and waiting for the storm to pass before considering the next choice.
On the panel record that cannot be seen by the contestants, the number of survivors has plummeted from the initial 1,435 to 1,321.
In just three days, a full 114 people were eliminated, with the elimination rate as high as 7%.
It may not sound high, but you must know that every contestant has been selected through various stages of the main competition.
Those who can stand here are the best among the best, the best among the best.
If an ordinary person entered this scorching desert, he might not be able to survive even two days.
Of course, think about it differently.
Perhaps ordinary people will spend all their points at merchants to buy fresh water from the beginning.
Not to mention the elimination rate in the future, at least the past few days should not be as bleak as it is now.
In front of the yurt-like studio.
As the sky gradually darkened, the four people who had been busy all day stood in a sheltered place and counted the harvest.
"Xiaoguan, 32 bundles, not bad."
"A bundle is priced at 5 points, which is 160 points." Qi Jie finished counting the earth fire reeds collected by Guan Mao. Quantity, he praised with satisfaction.
There is no accurate measuring tool, but if you weigh it with your hands, the weight of this bundle will not be less than three kilograms.
32 bundles are close to hundreds of kilograms, enough to be broken down into forty kilograms of white rice.
"Brother Qi found a good location. If it weren't for that patch of reeds, how could we have gained so much."
Guan Mao's face was filled with joy, and he was full of joy in his words. A hint of joy.
“Brother Qi, look at me, I have it here too.”
"Okay, don't worry, I'll be here right away." Qi Jie turned around and counted Zhang Jun's reeds again.
There are also quite a few, there are 27 bundles, which can be exchanged for 135 points.
“It’s great, I can finally have a full meal tonight, and I don’t have to eat this garbage reed anymore!”
Zhang Jun was so pleasantly surprised that he felt that all the fatigue in his body was gone in an instant. .
According to what Qi Jie told them during the day, a pound of white rice only costs fifty points.
The points earned are enough for them to have a full meal at night.
"Brother Qi, where is my side?" Xi Ruyue, who had an earthy face, also urged.
Qi Jie turned his head and was suddenly shocked.
"Oh, you have a lot here, let me count."
"45 bundles, okay, this is faster than me." He only had 41 bundles, and he didn't expect it. Xi Ruyue could actually do more than him.
This adds up to an income of 225 points, which is enough to buy a thermostatic water collector.
And it also triggered the reward conditions set in the morning. If you exceed forty bundles, you will be rewarded with a pound of white rice.
"Brother Qi, thank you for taking care of us, otherwise there would be no place to sell these reeds."
Xi Ruyue showed a faint smile, her high ponytail swaying in the wind, and said It makes people feel more comfortable when talking.
While in a hurry, her route really didn't offer any help.
But when it comes to collecting things, the special abilities provided by the Reader route allow him to get started quickly.
If the time is longer and the physical strength is more, it is not impossible to push the number to fifty.
"Haha, you are all very humble."
"Okay, brother Qi, I will keep my word, and the white rice I will reward you with will come from me later!"
Patting the reeds on the ground, Qi Jie laughed.
"Tell me, what do you want?"
"We want two portions of white rice, and five more points for the rest to get a thermostatic water collector." After Guan Mao and A Jun discussed it, they decided to continue Expand the scale of water production.
The two of them were very happy about the fresh water generated last night. They will go over to see the collection situation in a while.
Continue to expand the scale, and the daily output can reach 1200 ml.
Not to mention that it is completely sufficient for daily water needs, but at least I will not die of thirst in the desert again.
What a huge improvement!
“Me too, I’ll get a simple water collector by adding 75 points.” Xi Ruyue also chose to purchase water collection equipment after achieving the incentive target of one kilogram of white rice.
She bought two bottles of water yesterday and has 220 points left.
After completing the fire source mission at night, the points rose back to 250. It would not be a problem to spend 75 points to add equipment.
“I understand, just transfer your points to me, and I’ll give you the stuff later.”
The game’s minimum 50-point help limit is just to prevent large-scale grouping.
The current employment of labor is not within the scope of the regulations.
With fifty points as transfer, not only did I collect 400 kilograms of reeds in one day, but I also earned 80 points.
As a transaction, I only paid two collectors and three kilograms of worthless white rice.
