Survival: Fighting floods from a thatched hut

"I don't want ginger soup, I want you to give me at least 500g of ginger."

[Excellent-grade synthesis room

Type: Extended building

Effect: Materials can be put into the room for synthesis, and the quality of the materials will be improved by one level after completion (for example, ordinary-grade wood is synthesized into high-grade wood). The highest excellent-grade materials can be obtained through synthesis. Conversion ratio: 100:1. 】

(Quality level of items: ordinary \u003c high-quality \u003c excellent \u003c excellent \u003c extreme \u003c extraordinary...)

Looking at this message, Zhang Chi's breathing became a little rapid.

This, this thing is almost the same as his talent?

Zhang Chi was determined to get it, but after seeing the end, his fiery heart gradually cooled down.

This synthesis room is useless to him, and the conversion consumption is too high.

At first glance, it is a building that will only be used by large teams after low-level materials are completely useless in the later stage.

But it can be exchanged for the bottom of the box and kept for later sale.

But the price is really too high, and he doesn't want to sell ginger.

Have to bargain!

How to bargain? Yes, find the shortcomings first!

He looked at the last sentence, the conversion ratio is 100:1, this consumption is too exaggerated.

You know, for people who don't have tools above the premium level, now they can only cut 200 units of trees a day.

After 200 units of synthesis, you can only get 2 units of premium wood.

Spending a whole day and working hard to get two units of wood, isn't this crazy?

He has a light steel axe, which can increase the number by more than ten times.

But if he has this time, he can directly use his talent to sublimate a larger tree. Isn't it simpler than this?

This synthesis room is more suitable for large teams. At this stage, there are only 10,000 people in an area, and it is difficult for any large groups to appear.

The thing is a good thing, but it appeared too early.

After thinking about this, Zhang Chi decided to talk to the other party. The synthesis room is one aspect, and he also wants to know how the other party obtained the excellent-level building.

Does the other party also have similar talents?

Zhang Chi: “500ml.”

Opposite: “???”

Zhang Chi: “500ml ginger soup in exchange for your synthesis room.”

In a small wooden house not known how far away, a dark-faced man in his 50s or 60s laughed at Zhang Chi’s news.

"Young people nowadays bargain like this? Look carefully, this is an excellent-grade expansion building, which can continuously produce excellent-grade materials."

Zhang Chi: "Don't give me that, why didn't you tell me about the 100:1 output rate? Who has so many materials to synthesize nowadays?"

Looking at Zhang Chi's message, the black-faced man subconsciously rubbed his crew cut and muttered: "Young people nowadays are not easy to fool."

"1L ginger soup plus a 200g piece of ginger! Think about it, the synthesis room can synthesize any material. You can just dig some soil outside and synthesize high-quality soil, which can be used for growing grain or vegetables."

Zhang Chi: "With this conversion rate, I can't convert an acre of land even if I dig soil until I die. 1L ginger soup for your synthesis room."

"1L ginger soup is fine, but you must give me a piece of ginger."

Zhang Chi narrowed his eyes and read the messages of the two people again.

Why is this person so obsessed with ginger?

Although he didn't know how long the growth cycle of ginger on Blue Star was, it would take at least a few months.

Even if he got a piece, how long would it take for it to grow?

Unless he has some way to shorten the plant growth cycle.

He subconsciously looked at the stimulating fluid on the table, and his mind moved.

Zhang Chi: "I don't sell ginger, I only sell ginger soup."

"But if you tell me how you speed up the growth of plants and how you got this building, I can consider it."

The other party quickly replied to the message.

"I don't understand what you are saying."

Zhang Chi grinned silently, he was anxious.

A minute later, the black-faced man didn't reply, Zhang Chi simply closed the private chat between the two.

Anyway, he was not in a hurry, the transaction would be the best, if not, forget it.

Compared with the black-faced man, the prices of others were much worse, all of them were tools and the like.

Come to think of it, everyone hides the real good things, how can they be taken out.

The excellent synthesis room was traded because it was too useless.

Then, Zhang Chi changed to a high-quality iron pickaxe and a high-quality iron shovel.

The two tools are not very useful, but Zhang Chi still decided to prepare one, so as not to return empty-handed when he really encounters something good because he has no tools.

Through these two transactions, Zhang Chi also guessed the source of the synthesis room.

The high-quality iron pickaxe was opened by a buyer who was lucky.

According to him, there are three items in an ordinary box, but only one item of a higher level will be opened.

Another buyer explored a long way and encountered a black iron treasure chest in the wild.

According to him, he also found high-quality trees at the location where he encountered the treasure chest. That location is at least five miles away from the shelter. I don’t know how he ran so far.

Finally, Zhang Chi exchanged two pieces of rabbit meat and a pound of fine salt, and planned to close the private chat.

At this time, another blueprint was sent.

[Bathroom blueprint

Quality: high-quality

Requirements: 20 units of wood (high-quality), 20 units of stone, 2 units of rubber]

"One price, 2L ginger soup."

Zhang Chi was very interested in this blueprint, but the other party's asking price was a bit high. After all, a toilet can be built in a level 1 shelter, and a high-quality toilet is more for enjoyment and has a low priority.

Besides, he didn't have high-quality wood and rubber, so he couldn't build it for a while.

He tried to bargain several times, but the other party didn't give in.

Zhang Chi had no choice but to look at other information first.

If there was enough ginger soup left in a while, he would change it, because the rest would be a waste anyway.

As for cutting another piece from the King of Ginger and cooking another pot, he had no plans for the time being.

To cook this pot of soup, Zhang Chi broke off a fist-sized piece, and the planting box consumed a quarter of the ginger.

After all, he had never planted it before, so he didn't know how big it was, so he could only buy one of each size.

Now there are only two-thirds of the King of Ginger left. After all, ginger is not spherical. Although the King of Ginger is large, it is an irregular flat shape.

At this consumption rate, the King of Ginger can only last for a week at most.

If the ginger in the planting box grows very slowly, then he can only reduce the amount of ginger soup sold tomorrow.

Ten minutes later, there was still no new private chat, Zhang Chi sighed.

After all, it was the first day, and the survivors had not yet realized the importance of ginger soup.

Those who could find good things were mostly in good physical condition, otherwise they would not be able to explore and collect materials for a long time.

They were often less likely to catch a cold, at least today's sporadic drizzle had little effect on them.

And everyone had just crossed from Blue Star, and their vigilance against colds and fevers was far from enough.

Many people felt that they would be fine after a good sleep.

He had planned to remind them in the chat channel, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it.

After all, he was a "cold medicine" seller who came to publicize the severity of colds to everyone, and anyone would think that his motives were impure.

However, these were only temporary, and most people would not get better after a good sleep, but would only get worse.

Putting away the survival manual, Zhang Chi cut the rabbit meat into small pieces with a light steel axe.

A piece of rabbit meat was about one pound, and Zhang Chi only cut one piece, and put the other piece into the manual space, and he didn't know if it could be kept fresh there.

Put the rabbit meat into the black iron treasure chest on the campfire, add a little salt and water, and cover it.

Originally, the meat should be put in first and then the fungus, but there is no way now.

Then he thought about it and put in a piece of ginger the size of a fingernail.

I don’t know if the rabbit meat is fishy or not, and whether this little ginger is enough.

Ten minutes later, the water in the treasure chest gradually boiled, and the house was filled with the aroma of meat.

Zhang Chi swallowed his saliva. He had not eaten anything since he came to this world, and he only drank a bowl of soup.

Besides, he had worked hard all day, and his stomach had already started to growl.

After waiting for another ten minutes, Zhang Chi couldn’t wait to serve a bowl of rabbit meat stewed with fungus.

Regardless of how hot the rabbit meat was just out of the pot, Zhang Chi picked up a piece of rabbit meat and put it in his mouth.

It smells so good!

The rabbit meat with only a little salt and ginger was unexpectedly delicious. After swallowing it, I felt warm all over, which was a bit like the feeling of drinking ginger soup.

The fungus was no less delicious, and it was extremely chewy. After absorbing the fragrance of the rabbit meat, it had a unique flavor, which was not comparable to the fungus he had eaten on Blue Star.

After eating a bowl of fungus stewed with rabbit meat, Zhang Chi felt that a lot of fatigue from the day had dissipated.

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt a trace of weak energy in his body, slowly merging into his body.

Zhang Chi subconsciously clenched his fists.

Well, the strength didn't change.

A whole pound of rabbit meat and half a pound of fungus went into Zhang Chi's stomach.

Even so, Zhang Chi still felt unsatisfied and wanted to eat another meal.

He usually doesn't have such a big appetite, probably because King Jiang can whet his appetite.

After eating, Zhang Chi picked up the survival manual.

He had to continue working after finishing his meal.

Why did he feel that the working hours were longer than 996 in another world?

Zhang Chi smacked his lips and clicked on the private chat.

He received several messages while eating, but he was concentrating on eating and didn't notice them at all.

Black-faced man: "I surrender. There is a chance that the treasure chest will open a higher-grade item, but in this case there will only be one item in the treasure chest."

"I was lucky and found a black iron treasure chest. I'll give you another piece of news. There is a wooden treasure chest within 500 meters around each shelter, but there is only one.

As for buying ginger, it is indeed because I can speed up the growth of plants."

"My talent is planting, which can shorten the growth cycle of plants."

"I have told you everything you want to know. Can you sell me ginger now?"

"Hey! Hey? Where are you? Young people don't have martial ethics and come to deceive me, an old man."

The avatars of all people in the chat channel are real avatars and cannot be faked.

Zhang Chi looked at the avatar of this person. He was a dark-skinned man in his fifties or sixties, named Qian Zhongtian.

Planting talent?

"I was eating just now and didn't see it."

Just sent, the other party replied instantly, obviously staring at it.

"I have told you everything you want to know. Let's talk about ginger."

Zhang Chi narrowed his eyes and began to reply after a little thought.

"You can exchange, but I have two conditions."

"You say."

"First, I can only give you a small piece, and you can't sell ginger soup and ginger until there is a second person in the trading channel who sells a large amount of goods with similar effects to ginger soup."

"Okay, tell me the next one."

Seeing that he replied so quickly, Zhang Chi confirmed his guess.

The other party bought ginger not to do business with him, or that was not the main purpose.

Zhang Chi recalled his talent information and had some guesses in his mind.

"The second one is very simple. I want you to promise me that if you grow something good in the future and want to sell it, or want to sell high-quality seeds, give priority to me."

The black-faced man was stunned for a moment when he saw the message from Zhang Chi, and then he chuckled and touched his bald head.

'You actually guessed that my talent can improve the grade of plants with just a few words?

Just because you are smart? Or... because his talent effect is similar to mine, so you think of it?

Well... no matter which one, it means that the other party is worth making friends with. '

"I agree, but if you have extra high-quality plants or seeds in the future, you must also give priority to selling them to me."

"Okay."

"Add a friend, my name is Qian Zhongtian."

"Zhang Chi."

Seeing that the other party agreed, Zhang Chi decisively cut off a thumb-sized piece of ginger and added 1L of ginger soup to initiate a transaction.

Zhang Chi did not ask what would happen if the other party broke his promise.

Because it was meaningless. Even if the other party really started selling ginger soup tomorrow, he would not care.

The other party only had a small piece of ginger in his hand. If his talent was not so strong, such a small amount would not pose much threat to Zhang Chi.

Besides, if he could get ginger, others could also get other medicines, sooner or later.

But if the other party could really make ginger mature overnight, it would mean that his talent was really strong.

It was not a loss to spend such a small price to see clearly a survivor with strong talent.

If the other party kept his promise, it would mean that Zhang Chi's previous inference had a certain degree of accuracy. The other party's talent might be able to improve the grade of plants, or at least greatly speed up the growth of plants.

Such a "technical" talent is also in the field of planting. If they can cooperate, it will also be of great help to Zhang Chi.

The plants that have been sublimated by his talent will die completely. Although there will be no difference in the effect, they cannot be planted.

But if the other party improves the quality of the plants first, and then sublimates them again after harvesting, wouldn't it be equivalent to sublimating a fruit twice?

This is also the most fundamental reason why Zhang Chi is willing to trust the other party once.

The other party agreed quickly and did not argue about the size of the ginger.

Zhang Chi thought the synthesis room would be very large, but he did not expect that it was sealed in a small transparent ball like the planting box.

Looking at the small ball in his hand, Zhang Chi was a little stunned.

"Is it possible for the building to sublimate in this state?"

When he just awakened his talent, Zhang Chi tried to sublimate the shelter, but failed at that time.

Zhang Chi felt that it was not completely impossible, but the shelter was too big, and the talent could only cover one cubic meter of space at most.

But the synthesis room was sealed in a fist-sized transparent bead, maybe it would succeed?

Zhang Chi put it away carefully and planned to try it tomorrow. If it can really be sublimated, there might be a surprise.

Seeing that there were still two liters of ginger soup in the pot, Zhang Chi thought about it and decided to change the bathroom, but he did not expect that the other party was very tough before, but now he sent him a lot of messages.

Although he did not mention the price reduction, Zhang Chi felt that the other party did not seem to be as confident as before.

He tried to quote:

"1L, will you sell it?"

"Sell!"

Zhang Chi:......

What's with this inexplicable feeling of losing out?

But he still agreed, because he knew that if he bargained again, the other party would agree nine out of ten times.

But he felt that this price was enough, after all, he had planned to exchange it for 2L at the beginning...

After the transaction was completed, Zhang Chi put away the drawings. Now there was no high-quality wood and rubber, so he couldn't build it.

Zhang Chi didn't plan to waste the remaining 1L of ginger soup. After a long time of private chatting, he traded a set of three-piece bedding and a wooden bed.

It is worth mentioning that the wooden bed is of high quality, but it is not considered an expansion building. It is just a piece of furniture and has no special effects.

[Wooden Bed

Grade: High Quality

Evaluation: It can give you a comfortable sleep. 】

Place the wooden bed not far from the campfire, Zhang Chi makes the bed, puts the survival manual at the head of the bed, and lies down to sleep.

It may be the effect of the high-quality wooden bed, or it may be that Zhang Chi was too tired after a day of tossing.

Not long after, Zhang Chi's breathing became steady and long, and only the sound of the campfire could be heard in the shelter.

I don't know how long it took, but it was still pitch black outside, and the survival manual on the bedside began to vibrate again.

Zhang Chi opened the survival manual sleepily. He had set it to do not disturb, but why was it still vibrating?

As soon as he opened it, an interface popped up.
