Chapter 1211 Rewarding Knock, Phase 3!
Snap!
Snap!
Bundles of reeds were moved into the corner of the studio by several people and stored and stacked together.
Fortunately, the storage module only counts one-tenth of the weight, otherwise even if the weight of white rice is only half, 200 kilograms is still a headache.
After greeting the three people to rest first, Qi Jie turned his head and obviously found that Su Mo was in a good mood.
By the way, he also saw a few sand boards piled in the corner.
"Lord, what is this?"
"I can't be idle while you are busy. I will use it for the journey tomorrow. You will know it then."
Su Mo was in a good mood after receiving an unexpected 1,200 points from the aliens.
Although it seemed a bit extravagant to spend 50 survival points on preparation.
But he knew very well that food resources might continue to have a market until the end of the main competition, but the business of selling water would definitely not last long. It is very likely that a large number of contestants will stop after finding the oasis.
It is more important to get more points as soon as possible to form a leading advantage.
"That's right."
"We'll cook the rice for them and send it over, otherwise it would seem like I'm being stingy."
Su Mo interrupted Qi Jie when he realized that he was going to use dry rice as a reward.
Four hundred kilograms of reeds can produce more than three hundred kilograms of rice, which is really a huge profit.
We have to cook anyway, so we might as well cook them all together.
"Also, add these plant meats and crush the energy bars we made and put them in."
A large number of points were credited, and supplies were no longer tight.
Su Mo arranged it very generously, and the degree of arrogance made Qi Jie, who was used to a hard life, smack his lips for a while.
But soon, he also understood the reason for Su Mo's arrangement.
Although the main competition prohibits fighting between players, it does not prohibit competition in other aspects.
For example, collecting supplies, such as moving forward in a group.
There is no definite interest to unite the scattered individuals, just relying on some fictitious names.
When encountering difficulties, they will immediately disperse.
And they want to keep the three people who call each other "Brother Qi" together.
Necessary persuasion is necessary, but rewards should not be stingy.
"I, your brother Qi, have seen the efforts of the three of you today. This time, I have invested a lot of money."
"I won't need your water to cook rice later, and the seasonings added in it are also free."
Qi Jie set up the iron pot and said in a heroic manner.
It immediately attracted a wave of flattery, and the three of them were so happy that they ran around and wanted to go out to collect some reeds.
As the water for cooking rice boiled, a sweet aroma of energy bars came out.
Take advantage of the night.
The five people who ate a meal all had round bellies and felt an unprecedented sense of happiness.
But for the four aliens guarding the sand dunes not far away, it was a great torture.
"It smells so good, so good, I want to eat it too."
"What to eat? It's not enough to have water. At least wait until all the water is sold before giving it to you."
"No, we only sold two bottles today. If we sell them all, I will starve to death."
"Hehe, a cat woman is not hungry, why are you hungry?"
"No! I'm hungry too!"
The biggest feature of the humanoid aliens is that they have habits similar to humans.
Including food, which is also very similar to human preferences.
Therefore, they need to grab land to plant crops and expand the scale of the race and the material warehouse.
"We made 60 points today, which is a good start."
"When the scale expands, we can also eat our fill!"
Abe said confidently.
In the afternoon, an alien passed by nearby, and two centaurs found an alien.
According to the purchase price of 120 points per bottle, two bottles of water were sold at 150 points, and a net profit of 30 points per bottle was made.
By the way, the location where the next supply may be made was agreed upon, emphasizing sustainable development.
Of course, it would be fine even if the other party found out that the water was bought from the human Soma.
The alien race that was alone did not have 1,200 points to buy ten bottles at a time.
If it was 150 points to buy individually, it would not be a loss to buy from them.
"Hehe, what a group of ignorant people who only know how to meet basic needs."
"This kind of trash would be cannon fodder even if they followed the human Soma to the Mist Island."
The three of them planned a bright future, but Tieta on the side curled his lips in disdain.
If he had not wanted to follow the favorite to win the championship, he would have chosen to leave the three behind and set off.
As a qualified dwarf ironsmith, not to mention three days without food and water, even ten days would be fine.
And he had already eaten and drunk enough before setting off, so it would be no problem to hold on until the end of the desert.
He sniffed the fragrance in the air.
Tieta swallowed his saliva, and finally closed his eyes and buried his face directly in the sand.
"Hehe, even if I die, I won't eat him!"
No words for the whole night.
The raging storm gradually subsided in the early morning, heralding the end of the small natural disaster.
After a whole day of tiring, they were full and satisfied.
Not only did the four of them sleep soundly, but even Su Mo slept soundly, which was rare. He felt as if his whole body was a little relaxed.
"In this main competition, I don't have to worry about the pressure from the outside world. It's really relaxing."
Su Mo stood up under the light of the rising sun.
There was no absolute pressure on survival.
For others, the Earth Fire Desert was like a nightmare, but for him, it was like coming to participate in the competition.
Click.
Click.
Moving his body, there were crackling sounds coming from his stiff joints.
He took out the manual, and the main competition points at the top had reached 1850 points.
In addition to the original 200 points, he got another 30 points for the fire source task last night, and 20 points for the drinking water task.
1200 points were earned from Catwoman Abe, and 400 points came from the reward for surviving the sandstorm.
As long as he met a merchant, he could immediately buy two modular items worth 1,000 points.
"It's not clear if I don't calculate it, but I'm shocked when I calculate it. According to the current objects, the value of Magu's oil well should be at least 8,000 points, or even 10,000 points to buy it?"
Suma clicked his tongue in his heart.
What was recorded in Magu's notebook was also entering an arena similar to the current mode.
In the end, the oil well was successfully brought out under the competition of tens of thousands of people.
At that time, I didn't think it was that difficult, but now it is a bit scary compared to the number of points.
In addition, the modular box that can make adventurer terminals is also extremely valuable.
You need at least 10,000 points, or even more, to buy it.
"I earned 1,000 points yesterday and thought I could be generous, but I didn't expect that I'm still a pauper after all this calculation.
There are only 26 days left, I have to speed up the collection of points."
Su Mo muttered to himself.
It's a waste to spend the 400 points earned after surviving the small natural disaster on the merchant.
Without upgrading, even a modular item of 1,000 points can't provide much help.
But on the contrary, 400 points are enough to buy eight kilograms of white rice from him.
Eat sparingly, you don't have to worry about food at all in this race.
"Get up, while the weather is not hot yet, we have to set off quickly."
Called Qi Jie, and the three people who heard the noise "next door" also woke up quickly and ran to the place where the collector was buried last night.
No surprises, or it's terribly stable.
The fresh water collected overnight is still the same number, without deviation due to temperature.
The extra 400 points finally made the three of them less nervous and more confident.
While Qi Jie was cooking, Guan Mao came up to him.
"Brother Qi, did Lord Su tell us how far we have to go today?"
"Yes, if we are not in a hurry, we can collect some more reeds this morning."
Zhang Jun and Xi Ruyue also looked eager, obviously addicted to "earning points" yesterday.
"I'm afraid that won't work. We rested for a day yesterday, which delayed our progress."
Qi Jie put his hands behind his back and stirred the rice in the pot, with a look of difficulty on his face.
"The Lord said last night that our goal today is 120 kilometers. We must make up for the progress we lost yesterday and reach the third stage."
"In addition, the next few days, we must not be less than 100 kilometers every day, and we must arrive at the entrance of the next terrain before the major natural disaster arrives."
The major natural disaster will arrive on the ninth day, but there are still 450 kilometers to the exit.
"If we continue to delay, we still have eight more terrains to go to Kirishima!"
The voice fell.
The three people were stunned, and then they remembered the time limit and the goal of the race.
"But. One hundred and twenty kilometers." Xi Ruyue was the first to show difficulty.
Yesterday, her route ability was only used a little bit when collecting the Earth Fire Reeds, but as soon as the sun rose, she turned around and had to rush to her most disadvantaged road.
If the goal is really one hundred and twenty kilometers, I'm afraid she will be the first to fall behind.
"Don't worry, the lord is a man, and he naturally considers the difficulties.
And one hundred and twenty kilometers, do you want to walk there on foot?
Relax, the lord has already made a few sailing sandboards for rushing yesterday.
If you want to follow along, just buy them when the time comes."
Qi Jie spoke earnestly, looking at the boiling white rice in the pot without looking back.
Until the touch on it was all skimmed off with the reed stems, he turned his head expressionlessly.
"If you don't want to follow, and want to save points to buy a few things to bring back to the territory, you can also walk slowly."
"Now you already have a device to collect water, and if you buy some white rice, you may be able to survive a few more terrains."
Yesterday's favor was a reward.
Now the advice is naturally a warning.
The three of them looked at each other, their minds were in a mess for a while, and they began to think about the pros and cons.
Speaking of the goal of this trip, with their strength, they definitely don't have to think about the final reward.
If they can walk through more terrains and find more opportunities to bring back to the territory, it will be considered a success.
And Su Mo is definitely different from them, his goal is definitely the final prize.
Following means taking pressure.
But not following
Thinking about the experience of the past three days, think about the consequences if you don't choose to follow.
"Don't worry, make a decision after you are full, this breakfast is a gift from the lord."
"Just consider it as a reward for your hard work collecting earth fire reeds yesterday."
After covering the pot, Qi Jie got up.
The aroma of rice wafted out from the pot, and the three people swallowed their saliva again and again.
"Have you decided?"
They said they would wait until after dinner, but in fact they made the decision before the rice was cooked.
They knocked on the small door of the studio, and the three stood in a neat row, nodding their heads up and down.
Unlike the arena in Magu, even ordinary people can enter and participate.
The contestants who can enter the main competition now have territories with hundreds of thousands of people, millions of people, and even millions of people, nearly ten million people.
For individual players, the route level is low and the information is blocked.
It is difficult to pass a knockout match, let alone several consecutive knockout matches in the next day.
As for the 800,000-plus people in the Blazing Fire Territory and the 600,000-plus people in the Dream Moon Territory.
If they stay, they may be able to collect one or two thousand points and buy a modular device to take back.
But for the territories, this device is unlikely to be of much help.
For them, it is not very helpful either.
But if you follow Su Mo, even if you can't bring anything back in the end, this experience is definitely worth recalling.
And the growth in the experience cannot be measured by specific points.
"Okay, this is a sailing sandboard. I was going to sell it for 500 points."
"But since you are willing to follow, one for 400 points."
Pointed to the five pairs of sandboards facing each other in the corner.
Su Mo was not afraid that the three people thought that the sand board was made for the points they had earned.
"Qi Jie, take a pair out for you to try."
"Okay."
Qi Jie, who had been curious about the sand board for a long time, immediately became excited.
About twenty minutes later, the four people came back suppressing their ecstasy.
"It's so easy to use, Lord, you are simply a god!"
When the sandstorm was raging yesterday and the wind direction was turbulent, the sailing sand board could save 30% of the effort.
Not to mention the help it can provide when the wind direction is restored to normal and stable.
After a test, at least half of the effort was saved.
And the most important thing is that the efficiency is improved, which allows the wearer to travel long distances more easily.
In the past, walking 60 or 70 kilometers would make people tired to death.
Now with this sand board, let alone 120 kilometers, even if there are more people, they have confidence.
"It's good to use, let's finish the meal and get ready to set off."
The sky was bright and the temperature in the desert began to rise.
Su Mo smiled and nodded. Although his tone was flat, it revealed a convincing calmness.
At the price of 400 points per person, the three boards were sold at a high price of 1,200 points.
Adding Qi Jie's 400, this is another 1,600 points in the account.
The only thing left to save 5,000 to bring things in from the outside world is the last 1,500 points.
"Once you get the energy stone engine, you will be able to build a vehicle that can move quickly in the next terrain."
"The faster you move, the more contestants you can find!"
After a simple breakfast, Su Mo sent Qi Jie to explain the next route to the catwoman Abei.
According to the aliens' foot strength and magical abilities, it is not difficult to keep up with the progress of ordinary contestants.
But now with the sailing sandboard, it is difficult to keep up easily.
However, as long as the direction is correct, there will be no problem for the two centaurs.
Su Mo is not worried that the trade route that has just been opened will be reopened because of falling behind.
"Okay, they can definitely keep up."
After receiving the confirmed news, Su Mo put away the micro-workshop, and the group began to put on the sailing sandboard.
With the blessing of the wind, an unprecedented sense of lightness suddenly came.
