Survival in the Mist: Beginning Evolution Pingtouge

Chapter 17 The Value of Wood

"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and saw more electric trees before it's dark, or you'll have to sleep outside at night." Zuo Bing rolled his eyes.

Ma Wenjie looked at the wolf meat in the fire, and finally could only continue to work reluctantly.

At this time, there were already five trees on the ground, but the number was not enough to make a wooden house, so Zuo Bing was not in a hurry to dig a hole, but instead opened the chat channel of the system.

"Two bottles of water are exchanged for food, and if you have to chat with friends in private."

"I have two iron plates in my hand, and I need a quotation."

"Is there anyone who can change the lighter? Three kinds of food are exchanged, and those who want to chat privately."

"Two bicycle wheels, replace them with dry wood."

…………

Zuo Bing was also lucky, as soon as he opened the channel, he saw two things he wanted.

Iron plates and wheels.

He always wanted to make a mobile house, but he couldn't do it because he didn't have tools in hand.

If there are these two things, it is tantamount to sending charcoal in a timely manner, and there is hope for building "RV".

So, he clicked on the names of those two people and applied to add them as friends.

It may be that there is not much demand for these two things now, and the two quickly passed the application.

The man who traded iron plates was called Hong Yang, he was a man, he looked like he was in his 50s, and he had a very smart head. .

The one who wants to trade the wheels is a woman named Ji Mo. 35 years old, with a fat face, medium-length hair, and a big mole at the corner of his mouth.

Zuo Bing clicked on the private chat box of the two at the same time, and sent the same message: "Exchange supplies, please quote."

After a while, the woman called Ji Mo replied the message first.

"Hello, I have two bicycle wheels, and I need to replace them with dry wood, or gasoline, or charcoal."

When Zuo Bing saw it, he knew that the woman was also going to start a fire, the branches scattered on the ground were too wet, and she didn't know the secret of the black tree, so they wanted to exchange.

Zuo Bing counted the remaining split wood next to him, there were 23 left, and then sent a message.

"Twenty pieces of dry wood, guaranteed at one point. If possible, apply for a deal directly."

This time, it took a long time to get a reply after sending the message.

At the end of the season: "Twenty is too few. These are wheels, which are very useful. At least fifty, and each one should be at least the thickness of an arm."

fifty?How thick is the arm?

Zuo Bing couldn't help looking at the big tree that had been cut down over there, and fell into thinking.

Fifty pieces of wood are actually not many, and Ma Wenjie can finish it in minutes.

But he saw a business opportunity in the simple conversation just now.

Most people at this stage are incapable of cutting down trees, monsters are everywhere, and few people dare to make too much noise, so there should be few who know the secret of the big tree.

But the air here is humid, the food is not enough, and there is no light source. Naturally, some people think of making a fire, and there are not a few of them.

So at this stage, the price of dry wood will never be low.

But this secret will not be kept for a long time. After this early stage, someone will cut down the tree, and the wood will be worthless at that time.

From this point of view, now he doesn't need to go around to collect supplies, he can completely exchange them with wood.

It's just that in terms of the amount of exchange, you still need to control it, and you can't make it easy to get your own dry wood, otherwise the secret will be discovered in advance.

Figured it out, Zuo Bing is going to give it a try and see if he can kill the price.

Just as he was about to reply to the news, the news at the end of the season came first.

"Thirty, this is the lowest. If you can, exchange it immediately."

Seeing that the other party directly lowered the price, and it was exactly the price he expected, Zuo Bing replied directly with two words: "Deal."

Then, a window pops up on the panel.

[The player applies for a transaction at the end of the season, do you agree? ]
Zuo Bing decisively clicked to agree, and a window that was exactly the same as the transaction in the game appeared.

Then, I saw two bicycle wheels coming in at the end of the season.

Zuo Bing only had 23 pieces of wood in his hand at this time, and the other party offered [-] pieces of wood, which was seven pieces short.

So he yelled at Ma Wenjie and told him to chop a few out as fast as possible.

In order not to make the other party impatient, Zuo Bing put the wood into the trading column one by one, just in time for Ma Wenjie's chopping speed.

Both parties click OK, and the transaction is successful.

In the next second, two bicycle wheels appeared in front of Zuo Bing.

Before I had time to look at it, Hong Yang, who was exchanging iron plates, sent back a message.

"Change the iron plate, right? Food and dry wood are exchanged first, and water is not needed."

When Zuo Bing saw it, he couldn't help being happy.

Sure enough, as I thought, the wood that can be ignited is indeed a hot commodity.

Looking at those black tree trunks, I really complied with that sentence - if you want to get rich, first pluck the trees.

This time, Zuo Bing didn't talk nonsense, and successfully exchanged two iron plates measuring 1.5 meters by [-] meter for [-] pieces of wood.

Moreover, they reached a verbal agreement with the two people. If there is something to show him first, the quotation will definitely satisfy them.

Based on the experience of these two times, Zuo Bing opened the chat channel again, looking for the supplies he wanted to exchange.

As long as it is what he needs, whether it is tools or materials, he will add friends and chat privately.

Knowing that Zuo Bing had dry wood, most of them would choose to exchange it. Only those who didn't get food would ask for food in exchange.

And this request was perfectly solved by Zuo Bing, who directly traded the roasted wolf meat.

He didn't care if there was a virus in the wolf meat, as long as he didn't eat it himself.

In half an hour, Zuo Bing made a total of 2 transactions, with an average of one successful transaction every [-] minutes.

At this time, there were already a lot of supplies piled up in front of him.

There are eight iron plates of different sizes.The largest is 1.5 meters by one meter.

A pair of bicycle wheels, solid tires.

Two steel pipes of one and a half meters in diameter, about five centimeters in diameter.

There are ten ropes, all of which are three meters in average.

It may be that the humidity is too heavy, and all the steel products are rusted, but it is not particularly serious.

Looking at the supplies all over the place, Zuo Bing let out a laugh.

With these things, if you think of a way to make a wooden frame, isn't the "RV" within your reach?

And poor Ma Wenjie, already tired and sweaty at the moment, was still helplessly chopping firewood.

Especially seeing Zuo Bing exchanging wolf meat for things just now, it really made him feel bad.

At this time, Brother Pingtou, who had been away for a long time, came back.

What Zuo Bing didn't expect was that this guy still had a canvas bag in his mouth.

"I'll go, okay! Go out and bring back the baby?"

Brother Pingtou heard Zuo Bing's praise, but he didn't react. He walked up to Zuo Bing, threw the canvas bag, and lay down on the edge of the fire.

"Tch." Zuo Bing had no choice but to focus on the canvas bag.

The canvas bag is not big, but it is very full inside, and I don’t know what it contains?
Pulling off the sealing rope of the canvas bag, there are actually small bags of gunpowder inside.
