National destiny survival: I am weak and rely on luck to fly
Chapter 248 Heavy Rain
The darkness around was dispelled by the firelight, and a hint of coolness came through the cave entrance.
Fanfan quickly finished eating six ant legs. Noticing that Shen Nan shivered because of the cold wind, she quickly spread out a straw mat to try to block the entrance of the tree hole.
However, the entrance of the tree hole they were in was larger and could not be completely covered by the straw mat like the previous stone cave, so a small amount of cold wind still quietly blew into the tree hole.
When Fanfan was about to use other straw mats to block the extra tree holes, Shen Nan hurriedly swallowed the last bite in his mouth, wiped his mouth, and said:
"Fanfan, no need to cover myself. I'll go to bed in a while. With the quilt and the fire, it won't be cold at night. There's no need to use the straw mat as a door curtain. You should also go to bed early. You've worked the hardest today!"
Fanfan stopped, put down the mat, and waved the vines to indicate that it understood.
Suddenly, a dazzling flash of lightning streaked across the night sky, illuminating the entire darkness in an instant.
Immediately afterwards, a deafening thunder sounded, making Shen Nan's ears buzz.
Then, raindrops began to fall sporadically, hitting the leaves, making crisp sounds.
"It's raining." Shen Nan said to himself.
He walked to the entrance of the tree hole and stretched out his hand, intending to use the rain to wash off the grease on the ant legs. "It's a good way to wash my hands and save water."
However, those raindrops were too big for him now.
A drop of rain hit his hand heavily, instantly soaking half of his clothes.
"Ah!! My clothes..."
Shen Nan screamed and quickly retreated back into the tree hole. Looking at his half-wet clothes, he felt like crying but had no tears.
This is the only set of clothes he has now!
I wrung out the wet areas with my hands, then walked over to the fire, hoping that the heat from the fire would dry them out.
At this time, the rain outside the tree hole was getting heavier and heavier. The raindrops were dense and rapid, like countless pearls falling from the sky, hitting the ground and splashing water.
The wind gradually strengthened, whistling through the mountains and forests. The leaves rustled and the branches swayed, as if fighting against the wind.
The fire in the tree hole flickered in the strong wind, and the flames were swaying in the wind, as if they could go out at any time.
The intensive roots pulled out from the soil and climbed into the tree hole.
The thick dark green vines poked a little, and the tender green branches that were a little wilted by the sudden downpour shook slightly, and then slowly climbed up the vines.
Fortunately, this tree hole was much larger than the previous stone cave, and there was still enough space to accommodate all of them.
Moreover, the location of the tree hole is high enough, so there is no need to worry about rainwater flooding the tree hole.
The only thing that worried Shen Nan was that the heavy rain came too suddenly and they did not prepare enough dry wood. They did not know whether the few pieces of wood in the tree hole would be enough for one night.
[Ding! You have a new message in the trading area. ]
"Hey! Has the system become so user-friendly after the update?" Shen Nan asked in surprise.
In the past, no matter what the matter was, there was only a red dot prompt, and you had to click on the light screen to view the specific content. But now there are direct language prompts to understand what the news is.
“This is so convenient.”
Shen Nan clicked on the light curtain and entered the trading area to check.
Sure enough, it was a message from the seller of animal skins, asking him what kind of meat he traded for, and he also took the initiative to add him as a friend.
In the friend request, I found the seller’s name and agreed to the other party’s friend name.
As soon as I agreed to the friend request, the other party started a series of compliments.
It was this familiar scene again. Every time a friend was added during a transaction, after knowing that his nickname was "Nan Pengyou", he would perform a "confession" or praise.
However, the situation this time is different from the past. The object of this transaction is not a Xia person, and Shen Nan is not interested in mutual flattery.
After dealing with it briefly, he got straight to the point.
[Friend Nan: Send pictures (bloodthirsty ant legs), send pictures (large bamboo meat)]
[My friend Nan: There are two kinds of meat, you can choose which one you like.]
In the past two days, he has decomposed a total of 20 blood-sucking ants, a giant stick insect and a ghost poison dart frog.
Among them, 120 blood-sucking ant legs were harvested.
They ate more than ten ant legs themselves, although 90% of them were absorbed by Fanfan and converted into energy.
Now he only has about a hundred ant legs and a dozen blood-sucking ant bodies left.
Because the body contains more energy, Fanfan prefers to eat the body rather than the ant legs, so Shen Nan did not include the body of the blood-sucking ant in the trading list.
As for the ghost poison dart frog, he himself was craving for frog meat, so he did not add the ghost poison dart frog to the trading list.
In the end, only ant legs and the meat of giant stick insects were left to trade.
[Alan Cotter: Oh, my dear Nan, I want both!]
[Alan Cote: You also know that you can no longer directly purchase supplies in the system mall. Even our own reserve supplies require selection times to obtain. Currently, I am the only one who can sell so many animal skins.]
[Alan Cote: Since you plan to buy so many hides at once instead of selling them separately, I guess you must have a great use for them. Then I won't beat around the bush. A large set of hides in exchange for all your bamboo meat and 100 ant legs. As for the remaining three ant legs, I won't take all of them, but leave some for you. If you think it's okay, let's trade now!]
After Shen Nan read the message sent by Alan Cote, the other party's face at the moment appeared in his mind.
Shen Nan: ...
Sometimes, when people are speechless, they really can't help but laugh out loud.
Although there were 9999 animal skins, and only 120 pieces of ant legs and bamboo joint meat in total, judging from the quantity, it seemed that he had gotten a bargain.
But trading is not just about quantity.
Although basic materials are relatively scarce at present, it is not that there is no one selling them.
Many survivors have already obtained basic materials by opening "activity treasure chests", but the quantities are limited, and most of them are sold in pieces, not on such a large scale like Allen's.
Moreover, the other party was able to sell so many animal skins at one time, which meant that he must have taken advantage of the opportunity to select them from his own material storage room.
But for some reason, these animal skins were no longer useful to him, so he exchanged them for food and water.
The reason why he was able to obtain such an abundant supply of meat in just two days was entirely due to the powerful power of Fanfan.
Those survivors who do not choose to pick their food can only rely on catching insects to obtain food.
It is only the second day since entering the Misty Forest, and many survivors may not have actually come into contact with the creatures in the forest.
In addition, if some people do not choose food as their initial supplies, then food and water are now the most urgent necessities for survivors.
As for the basic material, to process it into the finished product, a processing table must be used.
Even if you choose the processing table when entering the Misty Forest, the "Inscription Rune" given by the system can only change the size of the weapon, but cannot change the size of the processing table.
Those processing tables that cannot be resized can only become decorations and cannot be used.
Because the use of the processing table requires selecting processing items and adding materials on the roulette wheel, for the current tiny survivors, even climbing onto the processing table is a difficult task, let alone operating it.
So, now except for those who have "Any Rune", no one else can use the processing table.
In this case, selling these basic materials becomes their only option.
But that's exactly why the basic materials can't be sold at any price now, and this person is asking for an exorbitant price!
[Friend Nan: Although you cannot directly purchase supplies in the system mall, there is still a chance to open basic supplies in the "Activity Treasure Box". And no one can use the processing table yet, so the basic supplies on the market will only accumulate more and more. I can trade you a large set of animal skins with 20 pieces of bamboo worm meat or 20 ant leg meat. These 20 pieces of meat are enough for you to eat for a month. You can choose which kind of meat you want. If you think it is not suitable, I can't do anything about it. I can directly go to the trading area to buy scattered animal skins.]
Brother Wan San once said that if you want to buy something at a low price, you must first point out the shortcomings of the other party's item and make it clear that you don't have to have it.
Moreover, he did not deliberately lower the price. A large set of animal skins only cost 2 points in the system mall, which is 2000 crystals.
Currently, in the trading area, more and more people are looking for food and water because of the heavy rain.
The number of people selling basic supplies was gradually increasing, but he didn't want to waste his time in the trading area, buying scattered animal skins one by one and negotiating with different people.
To sum it up in two words: too troublesome!
Alan Cote may have understood Shen Nan's implication, and was worried that if the matter was delayed, the animal skins might not be sold or could not be sold at the current price, so after a few minutes of silence, he agreed to the transaction.
During the few minutes that Allen was thinking, Shen Nan bought some scattered cotton cloth in the trading area.
Although the quantity is not large, only 17 units, it is enough to make 8 pairs of travel boots. Each team member can get a pair and there will be some left over!
After completing the transaction with Allen Cote, Shen Nan immediately stood up and went to the processing table to start working.
Select the crafting option for the Travel Boots, then add the corresponding materials, submit, and you're done!
[Production time: 29 minutes and 59 seconds remaining]
The camera slowly moved towards the entrance of the tree hole. It was still raining heavily outside, and thunder roared in the air from time to time, as if accompanying the rain.
Shen Nan stood in the tree hole, took off his wet clothes and pants and hung them on the lush vines, then twisted his waist and ran to the prepared bed.
Shen Nan dove into the bed and couldn't help shivering, "Hiss... It's so cold!"
He reached out and hugged the fat kid who had gone into bed first to sleep tightly to his chest. The little fur ball curled up in his arms, and a hint of warmth emanated from his furry body.
Shen Nan looked down at the little fur ball in his arms and couldn't help but sigh: "Why don't you grow up at all?"
In half a year, if you raise a cat or a puppy, they will all grow a lot, but except for getting a little fatter due to eating more, the little fur ball has no obvious changes in body shape and bones, and still maintains the same petite shape as at the beginning.
Unfortunately, the little fur ball, which had eaten and drunk its fill, had already fallen asleep. It couldn't hear Shen Nan's questions at all, and naturally couldn't answer them.
Accompanied by the unique melody of rain and wind outside, Shen Nan gradually relaxed his body and his breathing became steady. With the warm company of the little fur ball, he soon fell into a deep sleep and entered a sweet dream.

[Time: Day 3 of Survival in the Mist
Mental state: 100 (less than 40 will cause mental disorder and other phenomena)
Mission content for Survival in the Mist 1-15 days: Mission (Advanced Challenge) has been completed. 】
Whoosh…whoosh…whoosh…
Shen Nan, who was still sleeping, felt as if there was a jack lying on him, making it difficult for him to breathe, his body stiff, unable to move, and unable to wake up from his dream.
Just when he felt he was about to suffocate, he felt a surge of heat and wetness on his face and his eyes suddenly flew open.
What came into view was a furry head, with its tongue sticking out and licking his cheek gently.
Shen Nan reached out and tried to push away the furry creature lying on him, but found that it was extremely heavy and showed no sign of being pushed away.
He moved his feet again and felt two slender, soft claws covered with fluffy hair on his thighs.
Shen Nan was stunned.
He took another closer look at the big guy whose fur color was similar to that of the little ball of fur, but obviously a little different.
Is this still his cute and beautiful little ball of fur that is only two palms long?
The brain, which was originally in a confused state, instantly regained consciousness within these few short seconds and began to look carefully at the big guy on his body.

"Second-level spiritual beast!"
"1.4 physical fitness!"
"Control the flames!"
The more Shen Nan looked, the more shocked he became! The more he looked, the more surprised he became!
I started to doubt whether I hadn't woken up yet and whether all this was just a dream.
He closed his eyes and opened them again after a few seconds. The scene in front of him remained the same, the Nine Frost Spirit Fox was still lying quietly on his chest.
Now the appearance of the little fur ball has changed a lot, not only in size, but also in the fact that its originally grayish-white fur has added a unique color.
On its forehead, there appeared a small tuft of fiery red hair, shaped like a leaping flame, which complemented its ability to control flames, as if it was an outward symbol of its inner strength.
