Survival: Fighting floods from a thatched hut.

"I don't want ginger soup, I want you to give me at least 500g of ginger."

【Excellent synthesis room

Type: Extension Building

Effect: Materials can be placed inside for synthesis. After completion, the quality of the materials is upgraded by one level (for example, ordinary wood is synthesized into high-quality wood). The highest quality materials can be obtained through synthesis. Conversion ratio: 100:1. 】

(The quality level of the items: ordinary < good < excellent < excellent < ultimate < extraordinary...)

Looking at this message, Zhang Chi's breathing became a little rapid.

This, this thing is actually almost the same as his talent?

Zhang Chi was determined to win, but after seeing the end, his passionate heart gradually cooled down.

This synthesis room is useless to him because the conversion cost is too high.

At first glance, it is a building that will only be used by large teams in the later stages after low-level supplies are completely useless.

But you can save it in the bottom of the box and sell it later.

But the price was too high, and he didn't want to sell ginger.

You have to bargain!

How do you bargain? Yes, find the flaws first!

He looked at the last sentence. The conversion ratio was 100:1. This consumption was too exaggerated.

You know, for people who don't have high-quality tools or above, cutting down 200 units of trees a day is the limit.

After synthesizing 200 units, you can only get 2 units of high-quality wood.

Spending a whole day working hard just to exchange for two units of wood, isn't that crazy?

He has a light steel axe, which can increase the number by more than ten times.

But if he had the time, why not just use his talent to sublimate a bigger tree? Isn't that easier than this?

This synthesis room is more suitable for large teams. At this stage, there are only 10,000 people in one area, so it is difficult for any large groups to appear.

It's a good thing, but it appeared too early.

After thinking this through, Zhang Chi decided to have a chat with the other party. The synthesis room was one aspect, and he also wanted to know how the other party obtained the sophisticated-level building.

Could it be that the other party also has similar talents?

Zhang Chi: “500ml.”

opposite:"???"

Zhang Chi: "500ml of ginger soup in exchange for your synthesis room."

In a small wooden house somewhere far away, a dark-faced man in his fifties or sixties was so angry that he laughed at Zhang Chi's news.

"Is this how young people bargain nowadays? Look carefully, this is an excellent-grade expansion building, which can produce excellent-grade materials continuously."

Zhang Chi: "Don't give me that. Why didn't you tell me about the 100:1 output rate? Who has so many materials to synthesize now?"

Looking at Zhang Chi's message, the dark-faced man subconsciously rubbed his haircut and muttered, "Young people nowadays are not easy to fool."

"1L of ginger soup plus a 200g piece of ginger! Just think about it, the synthesis room can synthesize any material. You can just dig some dirt outside and synthesize high-quality soil, which can be used for growing crops or vegetables."

Zhang Chi: "With this conversion rate, I can dig till I die and still not be able to convert an acre of land. I'll give you 1L of ginger soup in exchange for your synthesis room."

"1L of ginger soup is fine, but you have to give me a piece of ginger."

Zhang Chi narrowed his eyes and read the messages from the two people again.

Why is this person so obsessed with ginger?

Although he didn't know how long the growth cycle of ginger on Blue Star was, it must be at least several months.

Even if he gets a piece, how long will it take for it to grow?

Unless he has some way to shorten the plant growth cycle.

He subconsciously looked at the labor-inducing fluid on the table and his heart moved.

Zhang Chi: “We don’t sell raw ginger, we only sell ginger soup.”

"But if you tell me how you speed up the growth of plants and how you built this building, I can consider it."

The other party responded quickly.

"I can not understand what you say."

Zhang Chi grinned silently, he was anxious.

A minute later, the dark-faced man did not reply, so Zhang Chi simply closed their private chat.

Anyway, he is not in a hurry. If the deal can be done, that would be the best. If not, then forget it.

Compared with the black-faced man, the prices of the others were much lower, they were all tools and the like.

Come to think of it, everyone keeps the really good stuff hidden, so how could they possibly take it out?

The reason why the advanced synthesis room was traded was because it was too useless.

Afterwards, Zhang Chi changed to a high-quality iron pickaxe and a high-quality iron shovel.

The two tools are not very useful, but Zhang Chi still decided to prepare one in case he really comes across something good but returns empty-handed because he doesn't have the tools.

Through these two transactions, Zhang Chi also guessed the source of the synthesis room.

The quality iron pickaxe was a buyer's luck and was opened from a wooden box.

According to him, there are three items in an ordinary box, but only one item will be revealed in a higher-level box.

Another buyer explored far and came across a black iron treasure chest in the wild.

According to him, he also found high-quality trees at the location where he encountered the treasure chest. That location was at least five miles away from the shelter. No one knew how he ran so far.

Finally, Zhang Chi exchanged for two pieces of rabbit meat and a pound of fine salt and planned to close the private chat.

Just then, another drawing was sent over.

【Bathroom drawings

Quality: High quality

Requirements: 20 units of wood (high quality), 20 units of stone, 2 units of rubber]

"One price, 2L ginger soup."

Zhang Chi was very interested in this blueprint, but the other party's price was a bit high. After all, a toilet could be built in a level 1 shelter, and a high-quality toilet was more for enjoyment and did not have a high priority.

Besides, he didn't have high-quality wood and rubber, so he couldn't build it in a short time.

I tried to bargain several times, but the other party refused to budge.

Zhang Chi had no choice but to look at other information first.

If there is enough ginger soup left after a while, he will change it because the rest will be wasted anyway.

As for cutting another piece from King Ginger and cooking another pot, he had no plans to do so for the time being.

To cook this pot of soup, Zhang Chi broke off a piece of ginger the size of his fist, and the planting box consumed a quarter of the ginger.

After all, he had never planted one before, so he didn't know what size would be appropriate, so he could only try one of each size.

Now only two-thirds of the Ginger King is left. After all, ginger is not spherical. Although the Ginger King is very large, it is an irregular flat shape.

At this rate of consumption, King Jiang can only last a week at most.

If the ginger in the grower box grows slowly, he will have to sell less ginger soup tomorrow.

Another ten minutes passed and there was still no new private chat, so Zhang Chi sighed.

After all, it was the first day, and the survivors had not yet realized the importance of ginger soup.

Those who can find good things usually have good physical fitness, otherwise they will not be able to explore and collect materials for a long time.

They tend to have a lower chance of catching a cold, and at least today's sporadic drizzle will not have much impact on them.

Moreover, everyone had just traveled from Blue Star, and their vigilance against colds and fevers was far from enough.

Many people think that a good night's sleep will do the trick.

He originally planned to remind her in the chat channel, but then he thought better of it.

After all, he is a "cold medicine" seller who is telling people how serious the cold is. Anyone would think that his motives are impure.

However, these are only temporary. For most people, the symptoms will not get better after a good night's sleep, but will only get worse.

Putting away the survival manual, Zhang Chi used a light steel axe to cut the rabbit meat into small pieces.

A piece of rabbit meat weighs about one pound. Zhang Chi only cut one piece and put the other piece into the manual space. He didn't know whether it could stay fresh there.

Put the rabbit meat into the black iron treasure chest on the campfire, add a little salt and water, and cover it with the lid.

Originally, I should put the meat first and then the fungus, but there is no other way now.

Then he thought about it and put in a piece of ginger the size of a fingernail.

I don’t know whether rabbit meat has a fishy taste, and whether this amount of ginger is enough.

Ten minutes later, the water in the treasure chest began to boil, and the house was filled with the aroma of meat.

Zhang Chi swallowed his saliva. He had never eaten anything since he came to this world, and only drank a bowl of soup.

Besides, he had been working intensively all day and his stomach had already started to growl.

After waiting for another ten minutes, Zhang Chi couldn't wait to serve a bowl of rabbit meat stewed with black fungus.

No matter how hot the rabbit meat was, Zhang Chi picked up a piece of it and put it in his mouth.

Really fragrant!

The rabbit meat, which was only added with a little salt and ginger, was unexpectedly delicious. After swallowing it, I felt warm all over, a bit like the feeling of drinking ginger soup.

The black fungus was no less delicious, extremely chewy and having absorbed the aroma of the rabbit meat, it had a unique flavor that was incomparable to the black fungus he had eaten on Blue Star.

After eating a bowl of rabbit meat stewed with black fungus, Zhang Chi felt that a lot of fatigue of the day was dissipated.

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt a faint energy in his body, slowly merging into his body.

Zhang Chi subconsciously clenched his fists.

Well, the strength hasn't changed.

A whole pound of rabbit meat and half a pound of black fungus all went into Zhang Chi's stomach.

Even so, Zhang Chi still felt unsatisfied and wanted to have another meal.

Normally he doesn't have such a big appetite, I guess it's because King Ginger can whet his appetite.

After eating, Zhang Chi picked up the survival manual.

I have to continue working after eating.

Why does it feel like the working hours in this other world are even longer than 996?

Zhang Chi smacked his lips and clicked on the private chat.

He received several messages while eating, but he was so focused on eating that he didn't notice them at all.

Black-faced man: "I surrender. There is a chance that the treasure chest will open a higher-grade item, but in this case there will only be one item in the treasure chest."

"I was lucky and found a black iron treasure chest. I'll give you another piece of information. There is a wooden treasure chest within 500 meters of each shelter, but there is only one.

As for buying ginger, it is indeed because it can speed up the growth of plants.”

"My talent is in planting. I can shorten the growth cycle of plants."

"I've told you everything you want to know. Can you sell me the ginger now?"

"Hey! Hey? Where are you? Young people have no moral principles and try to deceive an old man like me."

The avatars of everyone in the chat channel are real and cannot be faked.

Zhang Chi looked at the man’s profile picture. He was a dark-skinned man in his fifties or sixties named Qian Zhongtian.

A talent for planting?

"I was eating just now and didn't see it."

The message has just been sent and the other party replied instantly, obviously he has been staring.

"I've told you everything you want to know. Now let's talk about ginger."

Zhang Chi narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment and then began to reply.

"You can exchange, but I have two conditions."

"You said."

"First, I can only give you a small piece, and you can't sell ginger soup and ginger until there is a second person in the trading channel who sells a large amount of products with similar effects to ginger soup."

"Okay, next one."

Seeing that he replied so quickly, Zhang Chi confirmed his guess.

The other party bought ginger not for the purpose of doing business like him, or that was not the main purpose.

Zhang Chi recalled his talent information and had some guesses in his mind.

"The second one is very simple. I want you to promise me that if you grow something good and want to sell it in the future, or want to sell high-quality seeds, you will give me priority."

The black-faced man was stunned for a moment when he saw the message from Zhang Chi, then he chuckled and touched his shaved head.

'You actually guessed that my talent can improve the grade of plants based on just a few words?

Is it just because he's smart? Or... because his talent is similar to mine, so I can associate it with him?

Well...either way, it means the other person is worth making friends with.'

"I agree, but if you have any extra high-quality plants or seeds in the future, you must give priority to selling them to me."

"Row."

"Add me as a friend, my name is Qian Zhongtian."

"Relaxation."

Seeing that the other party agreed, Zhang Chi decisively cut a thumb-sized piece of ginger and added 1L of ginger soup to initiate the transaction.

Zhang Chi did not ask what would happen if the other party broke his promise.

Because it is meaningless, he doesn't care even if the other party really starts selling ginger soup tomorrow.

The opponent had only a small piece of ginger in his hand. If his talent was not so strong, such a small piece of ginger would not pose much threat to Zhang Chi.

Besides, if he can prescribe ginger, it is only a matter of time before others can get other medicines.

But if the other party can really make ginger mature overnight, it means that his talent is really strong.

It's not a loss to spend such a small amount of money to see a survivor with great talent.

If the other party keeps his promise, it means that Zhang Chi's previous inference has a certain degree of accuracy. The other party's talent may be able to improve the quality of the plants, or at least greatly accelerate the growth rate of the plants.

Such a "technical" talent, especially in the field of planting, would be of great help to Zhang Chi if they could cooperate.

Any plants that have been sublimated by his talent will die completely. Although there will be no difference in the effect, they cannot be planted.

But if I let the other party improve the quality of the plant first, and then sublimate it again after harvesting, wouldn’t it be equivalent to sublimating a fruit twice?

This is also the most fundamental reason why Zhang Chi is willing to trust the other party once.

The other party agreed quickly and did not argue about the size of the ginger.

Zhang Chi thought the synthesis room would be very large, but he didn't expect it to be like a planting box, sealed in a small transparent ball.

Looking at the small ball in his hand, Zhang Chi was a little dazed.

“In this state, is it possible for architecture to be sublimated?”

When he just awakened his talent, Zhang Chi tried to sublimate the shelter, but failed at that time.

Zhang Chi felt that it was not completely impossible, but the shelter was too big, and his talent could only cover one cubic space at most.

But the synthesis chamber is sealed in a transparent bead the size of a fist, so maybe it will work?

Zhang Chi put it away carefully and planned to give it a try tomorrow. If it can really be sublimated, there might be a surprise.

Seeing that there were still two liters of ginger soup in the pot, Zhang Chi thought about it and decided to change the bathroom. However, he did not expect that the other party was very tough before, but now sent him a lot of messages.

Although there was no mention of price reduction, Zhang Chi felt that the other party did not seem as confident as before.

He tried quoting:

"1L for sale?"

"Sell!"

Zhang Chi:.......

Why is there this inexplicable feeling of being at a disadvantage?

But he still agreed, because he knew that if he bargained further, there was a 90% chance that the other party would agree.

But he thought the price was enough, after all, he had originally planned to exchange it for 2L...

After the transaction was completed, Zhang Chi put away the drawings. Now there was no high-quality wood and rubber, so construction could not be carried out.

Zhang Chi didn’t plan to waste the remaining 1L of ginger soup. After looking at private chats for a long time, he traded a set of three-piece bedding and a wooden bed.

It is worth mentioning that the wooden bed is of high-quality grade, but it is not considered an extended building. It is just a piece of furniture and has no special effects.

【Wooden bed

Grade: High quality

Comment: It can give you a comfortable sleep. 】

Place the wooden bed not far from the campfire, make the bed, put the survival manual at the head of the bed, and lie down to sleep.

It might be the effect of the high-quality wooden bed, or it might be because I was too tired after a whole day of work and rest.

Before long, Zhang Chi's breathing became steady and long, and the only sound in the shelter was the sound of the campfire.

I don't know how much time passed, it was still pitch black outside, and the survival manual on the bedside table began to vibrate again.

Zhang Chi opened the survival manual with sleepy eyes. He had clearly set the mode to do not disturb, so why was it still vibrating?

As soon as I opened it, an interface popped up.
