Chapter 3 Obtaining Another Resource Box

Qi Yuan put the "flower garden" and "healing potion making scroll" back to the cabin, and also put the resource box back.

Because he picked up a bronze resource box just after leaving the house, and the location was not far from the cabin, so he sent it back directly.

Qi Yuan took the stone axe and the newly acquired iron pickaxe again, and planned to go to the north to have a look.

After all, he was lucky just after leaving the house and picked up a bronze resource box.

This made Qi Yuan feel that choosing the north would definitely bring good luck!

…………

The north was also full of weeds that could not be seen at the end, growing particularly lushly.

Qi Yuan couldn't help frowning and thinking: The resources nearby seem to be a bit scarce.

In addition to weeds, there are still weeds, and at most a few trees, and no other resources can be found.

I don't know if everyone is like this, or Qi Yuan is unlucky and happened to be born in a barren place.

"I must live in a place with rich resources if I have the opportunity in the future." Qi Yuan thought as he walked.

I just don't know if I can change the location of the cabin in the future.

Not long after, Qi Yuan walked to the junction of 300 meters.

Wisps of mist drifted in the air, revealing a sense of mystery.

This was Qi Yuan's first time in the mist area.

The place where he cut trees before was just 300 meters away from the mist area.

Standing in front of the mist area, Qi Yuan fell into thought.

In or out?

The mist area is not absolutely safe, and there may be hidden dangers, but not as serious as the thick fog area.

After thinking for a while, Qi Yuan still walked in.

The range of 300 meters is too small to meet the needs of life.

What's more, the surrounding area is so barren that there are even fewer things to harvest.

Therefore, entering the mist area is inevitable.

While taking risks, it also means greater gains.

But, you need to be more careful!

In just a few steps, Qi Yuan got his first harvest.

Stone!

There are many stones scattered 100 meters after entering the mist area, some large and some small, and there are quite a lot of them.

As a basic resource, the importance of stone is self-evident.

At the same time, stone is also a necessary resource for upgrading wooden houses.

This also made Qi Yuan feel relieved. With this piece of stone resources, it was only a matter of time before he could upgrade the wooden house.

After noting the location of the stone area, Qi Yuan continued on his way.

Qi Yuan was particularly careful in the misty area, which greatly slowed down his progress.

The surrounding fog was very heavy and the air was very humid.

Before long, the sweatshirt and trousers were covered with dew, which was very uncomfortable to wear.

Suppressing the discomfort of his body, Qi Yuan moved forward carefully in the mist.

Although he did not encounter any danger along the way, he still did not relax his vigilance.

After walking nearly 1,000 meters, he did not find any special resources, except for weeds and trees.

Looking at the whiteness in front of him, there was still a vast expanse of white fog behind him.

Qi Yuan hesitated for a moment and stopped moving forward.

Although there was no danger in the misty area, the visibility was too low and it was very easy to get lost.

Once you can't find the way back and are far away from the shelter wooden house, you can only wait to die in the fog.

Another point is the time problem!

Two hours have passed, and there are still four hours of daylight left.

Even if we can't find food and water, we must make full use of the time and cut as much wood and stone as possible.

When we return to the cabin, we can exchange other survival resources on the trading platform.

It's a waste of time to wander around aimlessly now.

...

After the exploration plan was over, Qi Yuan returned to the stone mine area.

He took out a good-level iron pickaxe and began his boring mining career.

"Ding! Ding! Ding!"

The efficiency of a good-level iron pickaxe is very high, which is much easier than cutting trees. One unit of stone can be harvested in a few minutes.

However, mining stone consumes more energy, and Qi Yuan's hands ached soon.

There is still a big difference between stone and wood.

The recoil of stone is extremely large, and it often takes a rest for a while to mine more than a dozen units.

It took three and a half hours, and Qi Yuan mined a total of 163 stones.

This is when using a good-level draft, and the efficiency of others can be imagined.

What's more, at present, others have no draft at all.

I could only chop trees with my novice stone axe.

After swinging the pickaxe for more than three hours, Qi Yuan's hands were shaking with fatigue, and he felt sore all over his waist and back.

At the same time, hunger and thirst had already hit, impacting the already exhausted body and mind.

"I have to exercise more, otherwise my body really can't bear it! The life of a otaku has ruined me!" Qi Yuan sighed, holding his waist.

At this time, there was still half an hour before night, and the sky had begun to become dim.

Even the fog around became thicker.

The vast sky was shrouded in heavy clouds, and the atmosphere of the entire foggy world became oppressive.

The misty air, with the increase of humidity, the temperature dropped rapidly to 0℃.

Today's temperature has dropped significantly compared to yesterday.

The cold wave is approaching!

Knowing that it is not suitable to stay outside for a long time, Qi Yuan forced himself to support his tired body and planned to move the stones back to the wooden house first.

The current atmosphere has made Qi Yuan feel a little scared and worried.

It is safer to return to the wooden house as soon as possible.

Qi Yuan used the bronze resource box he had obtained before to move the stones, which was more convenient and quicker.

Put the stones in the resource box and drag them back directly.

It took 4 trips to transport all the stones back to the wooden house.

The stone mine is 400 meters away from the wooden house, which is neither far nor close.

Qi Yuan hurried and finally dragged all the stones back in half an hour, almost collapsing from exhaustion.

Carrying the last box of stones, Qi Yuan hurried to the wooden house.

The darkening sky was like a curtain covering the entire foggy world.

Only the light of the wooden house gave people a sense of security.

At this moment, a "bang" sounded!

Qi Yuan tripped over something.

"What's going on? I remember there should be nothing here? Did I go the wrong way?" Qi Yuan rubbed his waist and thought, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

But he was relieved when he saw the lights not far away.

Qi Yuan looked down strangely to see what he had tripped over just now.

"Fuck! Resource box?!!"

Qi Yuan rubbed his eyes, seemingly unbelievable.

There was a wooden box on the ground, which was kicked and turned over.

"Hahaha! I didn't expect that a resource box would be delivered to my door while I was walking on the road!" Qi Yuan laughed excitedly.

As the sky darkened, the daytime was about to end.

Qi Yuan picked up the wooden resource box and the stone and trotted back to the cabin.

Finally, he returned to the cabin before it was completely dark.

The oil lamp in the cabin was still on, and the faint orange light brought a warm feeling.

This oil lamp is magical. Even without adding kerosene, it can burn continuously. It has been burning since last night.

The small flame is like hope in the dark night, weak but never extinguished... just like the people who are struggling to survive in the foggy world now!

"Huh..."

Qi Yuan, who was exhausted, lay on the floor without caring about his image, gasping for breath.

But his face was full of joy.

"Before, I was still lamenting that I didn't find any food and was worried that I would have to sleep hungry tonight, but I didn't expect to pick up another resource box!" Qi Yuan said with emotion.

Although the items in the bronze resource box before were very good, I didn't get any food after all.

Qi Yuan didn't believe that this resource box didn't have any either.

If there's nothing... then there's nothing!

At worst, I can go to the trading platform to exchange.

Qi Yuan didn't believe that everyone had this luck and could pick up two boxes when they went out.

Looking at the wooden box in his hand, Qi Yuan opened it without hesitation.

It's just like opening a courier. How can you not open it after you get it?

Unlike the bronze resource box with green light, the wooden resource box has no "special effects" and is opened directly.

"It's really the lowest-level resource box, and the show is indeed a bit low!"

Without thinking too much, Qi Yuan's eyes were immediately attracted by the things in the resource box.

There were also three items.

A bottle of water and two light balls.

Qi Yuan picked up the mineral water and drank half a bottle in one breath.

From last night to now, I haven't drunk water for nearly 20 hours.

After working for six hours during the day, I was so thirsty that I was seriously dehydrated.

After drinking half a bottle of mineral water, I finally felt that I had survived.

After shaking the remaining half bottle of mineral water, Qi Yuan hid it with reluctance.

In the absence of a source of fresh water, it is very necessary to save water.

After all, Qi Yuan didn't know when he could get another bottle of mineral water.

Bet that I can pick up a resource box tomorrow?

There is another bottle of water in the resource box?

This is too unrealistic.

For most people tonight, it is a night of hunger and starvation.

Only a very few people have harvested some food to barely fill their stomachs.

There are also a few people whose wooden houses are just near the water source.

But only a few people are lucky.

Qi Yuan opened the remaining two light balls without hesitation.

They are a blanket and twenty pieces of wood respectively.

The blanket doesn't look thick, but it has a good warming effect.

Qi Yuan directly put the blanket on his body and felt a lot warmer instantly.

Qi Yuan was only wearing a T-shirt and a coat, which were autumn clothes.

It was OK to wear during the day, but it was very cold at night. This blanket was a timely help.

There was nothing special about the twenty pieces of wood, and they were piled together with the wood collected during the day.

After a day's hard work, there were many more items in the wooden house.

First, in the corner near the window, which was on the right side of the wooden house, there were 163 stones and 38 pieces of wood.

Next to it was a flower bed that was one meter long, 0.5 meters wide, and 0.5 meters high.

But the flower bed was still empty.

Next to the flower bed, there were two boxes.

One was a bronze resource box, and the other was a wooden resource box.

After the two resource boxes were opened, Qi Yuan used them as storage boxes.

In fact, the resource boxes can be recycled. The bronze resource box can be recycled into 5 units of bronze, and the wooden resource box can be recycled into 5 units of wood.

But for now, the boxes are obviously more useful.

It's not too late to recycle them later.

The bronze box was used to store tools, including stone axes and iron pickaxes.

Qi Yuan also used the wooden box as a pillow, which he placed behind his back.

Qi Yuan lay on a straw mat, covered with a cashmere blanket, and his simple living conditions instantly became much happier.

"Gurgle gurgle..."

His stomach rumbled.

Qi Yuan rubbed his stomach helplessly: "I didn't expect the surroundings to be so barren, and I couldn't find any food... I wonder if there is any food to exchange on the trading platform..."
