National destiny survival: I am weak and rely on luck to fly

Shen Nan was not in a hurry to solve the problem of mineral water, because no matter how to get water, he had to have a container to hold water first.

Shen Nan was not in a hurry to solve any problem of getting water, because he realized that no matter what method was used to get water, he first needed a container that could hold water.

The wooden cylinder that Ren Linhe made yesterday to hold the flames also has a stopper, making it very suitable for holding water.

But Shen Nan didn't want to disturb him because of such a trivial matter, so he decided to solve the problem himself.

He remembered seeing a plant yesterday when he was looking for shelter on the road. It was a plant very similar to the knotweed on the Blue Water Star.

Like bamboo, the knotweed is hollow and has a structure of sections like bamboo. This was the natural container he thought of besides the wooden tube.

"Fanfan, can you help me collect some knotweed? It's the kind I showed you on the road yesterday, the kind with knots."

As Shen Nan spoke, he gestured with his hands, trying his best to describe the appearance of the knotweed.

At that time, I saw that it looked very similar to the knotweed on the Blue Water Star, so I pointed it out to Fanfan.

But at that time they were busy looking for shelter, and he did not use the "Insight" skill to check the names of these plants that looked like knotweed.

Fanfan answered happily: I remember. Little master, please be safe at home. Fanfan will be back soon.

Shen Nan nodded and responded: "Okay, I will pay attention to safety."

Afterwards, Fanfan set out to collect knotweed.

After Fanfan left, Shen Nan was not idle either. Instead, he opened the light curtain and planned to see if there were any items worth buying in the trading area.

Shen Nan noticed that after the system update, the trading area changed a lot.

In addition to team chats that can be connected via microphone and video, a new auction house function has been added to the trading area, which already displays many items and high-quality materials.

Shen Nan studied the rules of the auction house carefully and found that each survivor could put three items on the auction house at the same time.

Before an item is put on the auction house, the system will appraise it. If the value of the item does not meet the listing requirements, it will not be allowed to be put on the auction house. This avoids a large number of low-value items from flooding into the auction house and ensures the quality of the items in the auction house.

There are also two ways to auction items listed in the trading house.

The first method is the ascending auction, that is, before the auction, the seller sets a starting price and a maximum price, with a time limit of 60 minutes.

During the formal auction, bidders start from the starting price and increase the bid from low to high until the end of 60 minutes. The system will then automatically trade the auctioned item with the highest bidder.

If within 60 minutes, a survivor bids the highest price set by the seller, the auction will end immediately and the system will automatically sell the item to the highest bidder.

The second auction takes place over a longer time frame, lasting 6 hours.

The seller only sets a starting price, not a maximum price. After the 6-hour countdown ends, the system will automatically sell the item to the bidder with the highest bid.

Both auction methods support transactions using crystals, and also allow exchanges using items or props.

The system will appraise the items and props provided by the buyer. If the props and items provided by multiple bidders have similar or equal valuations, the seller has the right to choose which buyer to trade with based on his own judgment.

Shen Nan browsed around the auction house and noticed that there were not many items being auctioned. This might also be because many items did not meet the valuation standards set by the system and could not be put on the shelves.

However, all the items that are successfully put on the shelves are of high quality.

In the list of items in the auction house, Shen Nan was pleasantly surprised to find a group of black silver ores, numbering as many as 100 pieces.

Ink silver ore is an indispensable material for making purple and even orange quality weapons.

Just yesterday, Fanfan hunted blood-sucking ants, and today, he was lucky enough to see black silver ore, which made him extremely excited.

Because this means that the materials needed to make the bloodthirsty battle axe have almost been found, although the number of bloodthirsty ant teeth and acid is still far from enough...

But even so, Shen Nan was very excited.

Because it only takes 50 pieces of black silver ore to make the Bloodthirsty Battle Axe, the set of black silver ore being auctioned now is enough to make two Bloodthirsty Battle Axes!

The only regret is that the seller of the black silver ore chose a 6-hour auction duration, but there were still more than 4 hours left before the auction ended.

Shen Nan didn't want to wait and planned to offer a high price directly and quickly get this set of black silver ore.

After all, the auction would not end for more than four hours, and he was worried that he would forget to pay attention to the situation of the black silver ore while being busy with other matters.

The most important thing is that the seller clearly stated that he would not accept crystal transactions and was only willing to exchange materials or props of equal value.

The most valuable item in his hand now is the intermittent ointment. He believes that no matter which copy, healing drugs are always the most needed supplies.

Although he was not sure whether the seller was short of therapeutic drugs, because he was not the only one who could make the intermittent ointment, he still decided to ask the seller whether he was willing to accept the intermittent ointment in exchange.

If the seller agrees to accept the intermittent ointment, Shen Nan will use it to make the deal, if not, he will have to find another way.

Today is only the second day since we entered the Misty Forest and someone is already selling black silver ore. Perhaps more people will be selling black silver ore in a while.

But Shen Nan didn't dare to take the risk. After all, he didn't know where this man got the black silver ore. What if no one sold it to him later?

After all, only what you actually get is yours.

The bottle of intermittent ointment is very small, each bottle contains only 100 grams of ointment, which is not as big as the mineral water bottle just now.

But even so, for Shen Nan's current body size, it is still difficult to open such a small bottle, so he can only wait for Fanfan to come back.

Shen Nan continued to browse the trading area until Fanfan returned with the collected plants.

Because he was planning to use them to hold water, for safety reasons, he didn't know whether the knotweed in this copy would contain toxins, so Shen Nan cast an "Insight" skill to check the information of these plants.

[Jointweed: a fern plant that likes light, is cold-resistant, and resistant to water and humidity. The whole plant can be used as medicine, with a sweet and slightly bitter taste, and has the effects of clearing away heat, promoting diuresis, improving eyesight, removing cataracts, removing phlegm and relieving cough...] (Click to view pictures of Jointweed)

Shen Nan had only seen this kind of knotweed by the river in the countryside, but he had never thought that in addition to its unique appearance, this plant could also be used as medicine, which surprised him very much.

However, he did not have time to think deeply about the various benefits of knotweed, but hurriedly asked Fanfan to help him open the small bottle containing the ointment.

Because, during the time he was waiting, several more bidders joined the competition for the black silver ore at the auction house.

According to the auction house's rules, the identities of both sellers and buyers are kept confidential.

To get in touch with the seller, bidders must raise their bid to the top five, which opens a temporary communication window that allows the seller and bidder to communicate.

This temporary communication window maintains anonymity between both parties during the transaction and automatically closes once the transaction is concluded.

If he wants to communicate with the seller, he must first use some intermittent ointment to raise his bid to the top five before he has a chance to contact the seller.
