Survival: Fighting floods from a thatched hut

Zhang Chi was startled and quickly raised the axe in his hand. He was relieved when he saw a silver-white metal axe with a cold glow in his hand.

The iron axe in his hand lost weight at the moment of sublimation, and he thought the axe was gone.

[Light Steel Axe

Quality: Excellent

Effect: Reduce physical exertion when felling trees

Evaluation: Made of light steel, it is extremely light, and increases weight when swinging. It is very hard and sharp, and has the effect of reducing physical exertion. ]

(Item quality level: ordinary \u003c excellent \u003c excellent \u003c excellent \u003c extreme \u003c extraordinary...)

It actually works!

Before, Zhang Chi did not have much hope in his heart, but just thought that it would not lose a piece of meat if he tried it.

But he did not expect that his talent could actually nest dolls.

Since opening a treasure chest is possible, what about other methods?

For example, if he sublimates the ingredients first, can he sublimate them again after making them into dishes?

Or upgrade the metal and sublimate it after forging?

For a moment, Zhang Chi thought of countless possibilities in his mind, and the arc of his mouth was harder to suppress than AK.

Although Zhang Chi was excited, he knew that the current priority was to chop down the tree, so he raised the light steel axe high.

The light steel axe is worthy of its name. It is made of metal, but the feeling of Zhang Chi holding it in his hand is almost the same as the weight of a plastic toy axe.

Zhang Chi swung the axe hard. It was very light in his hand, but the moment he chopped it down, he could feel a sudden weight blessing!

He chopped above the two marks he had made before.

He wanted to make a comparison to see how big the difference between fine and high-quality and ordinary was.

As the axe fell, the imagined "bang" did not appear, but a "puff" sounded.

Zhang Chi looked closely and his eyes widened.

I saw that half of the silver-white light steel axe was submerged in the tree trunk, three fingers deep.

Zhang Chi thought that the fine-grade axe would be stronger than the high-quality axe, but he didn't expect it to be so much stronger.

Excited, he pulled out the axe and chopped it again and again.

After only five or six chops, a tree fell at his feet.

It took Zhang Chi only more than ten seconds from the first chop to the tree falling.

This efficiency is more than ten times higher than that of the stone axe!

Moreover, he swung the axe with all his strength just now, and he should have felt the physical consumption, but it may be because the light steel axe has no weight, and it has the special effect of reducing physical consumption.

He hardly felt any consumption, and didn't even breathe.

If he used a stone axe, it would take a long time to chop a tree, and the physical consumption would make him have to rest for a while.

Looking at the tree under his feet, Zhang Chi took out the survival manual and decomposed it.

The survival manual can directly decompose the tree into wood, and it also has storage function, but it is only one cubic meter. It's not big, but it's better than nothing.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to carry the tree to the shelter.

The tree under his feet disappeared, and Zhang Chi obtained 11 units of wood. The trees in the space became one by one. Judging from the number, the survival manual even synthesized branches into wood.

Zhang Chi roughly estimated that if he used a stone axe, it would not be a problem to chop down a tree in half an hour, including rest.

If he had better physical strength and was more diligent, he could collect 100 units of wood in five hours.

It seems that many people with poor talents can upgrade the shelter on the first day.

He gathered his mind and continued to chop trees, but he slowed down the frequency and strength of the chopping to keep it at the least physically demanding level.

Although he didn't see a rabbit during the previous exploration, it was in the wild after all, and no one could tell whether there would be any danger. It was still important to maintain a good physical condition.

Although he had some strength left, relying on the sharpness of the light steel axe, Zhang Chi still maintained the speed of one tree per minute.

This was because he was exploring while chopping trees.

Ten minutes later, he collected 100 units of wood, and the storage space of the survival manual was also filled.

In desperation, Zhang Chi had to go back and put the wood back in the shelter.

The area of ​​the shelter was not large, only a dozen square meters. In addition, the ground was full of mud, and there was even less space to put the wood.

Zhang Chi had to build a base with wood under the roof that did not leak rain, and piled the wood on the base.

Then, he went out again, changed direction and started the plan of cutting trees.

After two hours of this cycle, even though Zhang Chi had been paying attention to physical consumption and the special effects of the light steel axe, Zhang Chi still felt a little tired.

However, the results were gratifying, and half of the space in the thatched house was piled with wood.

Zhang Chi did not pile the wood very high, because doing so was dangerous and laborious.

Zhang Chi put the last 100 units of wood, took off his raincoat, sat on the wood, and took out the survival manual.

Zhang Chi thought everyone was busy collecting materials, but looking at the message refresh speed of the chat channel, the situation did not seem to be the case.

"Anyway, I won't go out to chop trees now. It's raining outside. What if I catch a cold?"

"You're lazy, so what? You're afraid of catching a cold. I've been moving rocks outside for the whole morning and I didn't catch a cold. Besides, what's there to be afraid of with a mere cold?"

"The guy above, do you think we're on Blue Star? We're all out in the wild, isolated and helpless. A small cold could kill us!"

"Woo woo woo, is this true? I'm already having a runny nose. I'm not going to die, am I?"

"Even if catching a cold is terrible, the rain is getting heavier now and the thatched house is leaking. If I don't hurry up to collect materials, it will be chronic suicide."

Zhang Chi looked at the information in the chat channel, and his heart sank slightly.

Although he had a raincoat and didn't have to worry about getting wet, his shoes and trouser legs were already soaked.

He still had the possibility of catching a cold.

Thinking of this, Zhang Chi opened the [Trading Channel] and searched for medicine.

As a result, he didn't find any medicine, but there were a lot of orders for purchasing medicine.

There was no way, Zhang Chi had to give up and started browsing these transactions. He planned to see if he could exchange wood for some stone.

After all, he only had an axe in his hand, no pickaxe, and he didn't find a place to collect stones.

I thought that even if the price of stone was more expensive, it would be at most one-for-two with wood.

But what he didn't expect was that the price of stone was very outrageous. The cheapest one was 1 unit of stone for 10 units of wood.

Zhang Chi was speechless. Although he had plenty of wood, he was not a sucker and would not accept such an outrageous price.

It must be because the area they were in was a forest, and everyone prioritized cutting trees instead of collecting stones.

That's why those who dug up stones first wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune and cheat the fool.

In addition, other things were also extremely expensive, 10 wood for a berry, and 100 wood for an axe.

The prices in the entire trading channel were a mess, obviously not in line with their value.

The most outrageous thing was that Zhang Chi found someone selling water.

100ml of water was priced at 10 units of wood or stone.

He was speechless.

It was raining outside, and there were still people who wanted to make a fortune by selling water.

Besides, everyone had just traveled for three hours. Even if there was no rain, they would not be thirsty enough to accept such an outrageous price.

Seeing that there was nothing to trade in the trading channel, Zhang Chi simply closed his eyes and rested for a while with the wood.

Now he had thousands of units of wood, which far exceeded the demand for upgrading the shelter.

It was difficult for him to judge the value of various items now. He planned to wait until the evening when the prices of items in the market were more stable before trading.

For people with average physique, it was very difficult to collect 100 units of wood and 50 units of stone a day. There should be a large gap in wood in the market.

It was not obvious now, just because most of the people who really tried to survive were not in the shelter.

When the thatched hut leaked at night and people couldn't sleep, and wood was needed to upgrade; when the house was pitch black and wood was needed to light a fire, the real price of wood would be reflected.

In short, he was not worried about not being able to sell the wood.

However, he did not plan to continue chopping trees in the afternoon, but planned to explore the surroundings.

He still remembered the huge gains brought to him by the treasure chest in the morning.

Moreover, the stones for upgrading the shelter had not been found yet, and he did not want to pin all his hopes on the [Trading Channel].

Buying stones and having to buy stones are two different concepts.
