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

On the first day of the competition, everyone was still groping in the dark, and there were only a few sporadic messages reporting safety and some information that had been obtained in the channel.

Shen Nan flipped through the chat history.

One of the contestants landed near a small village and exchanged the rhino meat he had hunted for some tools from the villagers, such as an axe for felling trees, as well as pottery and other daily necessities.

The skin and horns of the horn rhino are both high-quality materials for making armor and weapons. These materials were exchanged for more than 30 gold coins, and a military nest has been successfully established.

In the troop nest, there are currently only two common troop types available for conversion, namely archers and melee infantry.

To convert a normal villager into an archer, you need to pay 5 gold and 5 units of meat.

Once the transformation is complete, the archer will come with a set of bows and arrows designed specifically for him and can go straight into battle.

If you choose to convert ordinary villagers into melee infantry, you need to submit 8 gold coins and 8 units of meat. The converted melee infantry will receive a melee weapon and a shield.

"This is still acceptable. It's equivalent to using gold coins to buy a set of equipment for the converted soldiers. At least I don't have to buy or forge equipment myself, which saves a lot of trouble." Shen Nan touched his chin, nodded slightly, and continued to look through the chat history.

In addition to these two common types of soldiers, there are also rare types of soldiers in the soldier nest.

However, rare soldiers are currently sealed and require special scrolls to activate and transform.

As for how to obtain these scrolls, there are only some speculations and no confirmation.

Unfortunately, ordinary villagers basically barter, and even when it comes to monetary transactions, they mainly use copper and silver coins.

In this world, gold coins are usually the currency used by nobles or wealthy merchants when traveling for business.

The village was able to collect more than 30 gold coins this time thanks to a traveling merchant who came to the village some time ago and bought some special products that were only available in the forest, which gave the villagers these gold coins.

Shen Nan frowned. He originally thought that there was only gold coins as the currency system here, but he didn't expect that there were copper coins and silver coins under gold coins.

Specifically, 100 copper coins can be exchanged for 1 silver coin, and 100 silver coins can be exchanged for 1 gold coin.

"Oh, converting troops costs money, building houses costs money, everything costs money... I don't know how many gold coins the antlers of the giant deer can be sold for." Shen Nan sighed and secretly calculated in his heart that he had to find a way to earn more gold coins.

At the same time, I was thinking that I should take Fanfan to explore other directions tomorrow to see if there are any hostile forces.

Before meeting the traveling merchants, robbery was the fastest way to make money.

You can obtain resources and complete tasks at the same time, it’s like killing two birds with one stone!

It’s just a pity that among the 10 people who came today, there are only two young men and three teenagers aged between twelve and fifteen or sixteen. Among the remaining five, there is a pregnant woman and four elderly people around fifty years old.

The only ones who can be converted into soldiers are the two men in their early thirties.

However, Shen Nan was not in a hurry.

The protective shield will last for three days, and he plans to see if there will be any suitable candidates among the refugees in the next two days.

It doesn’t matter if you have fewer troops in the early stage. After all, when you conquer the enemy territory, you only need to bring Fanfan and Xiaomaoqiu. The others can just stay in the territory to look after the house.

Afterwards, Shen Nan contacted the contestant who mentioned the village and made a deal with him.

In exchange, I got a large clay pot, a clay kettle and two clay bowls.

The large clay pot was enough for holding water and cooking, but there were only two clay bowls, which were only enough for him to eat.

As for the refugees, let them figure it out on their own.

In addition, a dagger made of unknown animal bones was also obtained.

Although this dagger is not as sharp as the weapons produced by the system, it is still sufficient for cutting meat and processing food.

After testing the sharpness of the dagger, Shen Nan suddenly said, "It's getting late. Let's prepare dinner first. After dinner, go to bed early today so we can go out early tomorrow."

Then he patted the little fur ball's head and said, "Little fur ball, do you want to go to the private space to sleep? I need this table to cook now."

There is only one table in the entire territory. With so many people coming today, if there is no table, we can’t just put the food on the ground and eat it, right?

What's the difference between that and a dog.

The little fur ball opened its eyes, stretched, jumped lightly from the table, landed on the ground, shook its tail twice, and walked out of the house, obviously not wanting to go back to the pet-only space.

Shen Nan shook his head and continued, "Fanfan, can you help me move this long table outside?"

"Okay, young master." The vines gently rolled up the long table and lifted it steadily out of the house.

Afterwards, Shen Nan asked Fanfan to collect some firewood.

He himself carried the clay pot and kettle and walked towards the stream, with the clucking chicken following closely behind him like a bodyguard.

When Shen Nan came back from fetching water from the stream, Fanfan also came back with a few dead branches.

The vines moved slightly, breaking the dead branches into small pieces, and then neatly arranged them into two small piles of firewood.

Shen Nan placed the clay pot and kettle on two piles of firewood respectively.

The little ball of fur jumped to the pile of firewood consciously, opened its mouth slightly, and spit out a fireball.

The dead wood instantly caught fire with a "whoosh" sound, and the flames jumped.

While the water was boiling, Shen Nan took out 10 units of venison meat from his space backpack, which weighed a total of 20 kilograms.

He simply washed the meat and began to cut it into pieces.

Large pieces of venison were cut into evenly spaced small pieces on the long table. Soon, the table was piled high with pieces of meat.

Fanfan is a plant that never sits idle. Seeing her little master cutting the meat by himself, she ran into the forest again to pick up more wood.

It knew that the little master was extremely poor and didn't even have any clothes to change into, let alone a bed and a quilt.

The dog cannot feel the sun during the day, but it will definitely be cold when sleeping at night, so it has to bring back more dead trees so that the little master can have a fire to keep warm when sleeping at night.

When the water boiled, the refugees who had gone to bury the goblin corpses came back one after another.

Since they had no tools, they could only rely on their hands and a few wooden sticks to dig the soil. Naturally, their speed was much slower, and they only finished now and came back.

However, when they returned to the cabin, the scene before them stunned them for a moment.

I saw a long table piled with meat, which was cut into evenly sized pieces and filled the entire table.

Their tired steps came to an abrupt halt, and their eyes were filled with the tempting piece of meat.

At this moment, Shen Nan clearly heard several sounds of swallowing saliva and saw the desire for food in their eyes.

Despite this, they all just stood aside politely, and no one approached without permission.

Dacheng was the first to react.

He saw Shen Nan looking at them expressionlessly, and his heart suddenly tightened. He thought to himself, this is not good. How could he stare at adults' food with such greedy eyes?

What if the adults are unhappy and want to drive them away?

Thinking of this, he immediately stood up straight and said respectfully: "Sir, we have completed the task you ordered. Please give us your instructions."
