Ahhhhh, high-altitude survival!

Lin Yue had just finished building the workbench, so she naturally knew the uses of the glass and iron blocks. When Liang Dong saw that she didn't reply, his tone became low again: "I don't need much, I just want to change the water. If I'm not thirsty, I won't be able to retrieve any more airdrops."

Liang Dong was really out of options. He knew in his heart that his materials would definitely be useful in the future, but he had tried to talk to several people privately before, but he hadn't been able to reach an agreement.

As time went on, his stamina declined faster and faster, and his thirst became increasingly severe, causing his vision to blur and making it extremely difficult to read text. Apart from mechanically copying and pasting information, he could only try to select players who seemed interested in exchanging information and attempt video calls with them.

Although a video call might allow the other party to see through his predicament and make exorbitant demands, Liang Dong didn't care about that.

He doesn't have much time to waste!

Seeing that Lin Yue remained silent, Liang Dong grew increasingly anxious. He gritted his teeth and continued, "I don't need much, just a bottle of water, and everything else is yours." He had previously had the energy to haggle with others, but now he was almost at his breaking point. As his situation worsened, the other players became increasingly assertive, pushing the price down further and further.

There was once a player who had finally managed to negotiate a deal, but after learning that he could no longer see clearly, he secretly replaced the water in the trade box with a bottle of urine.

If he hadn't taken a closer look and noticed the color was off, he would have almost been swindled out of everything.

Judging from her voice, the girl in front of him didn't seem like a bad person, but Liang Dong was filled with uncertainty about whether she would actually help him in return.

While Liang Dong was feeling both anxious and expectant, Lin Yue was also secretly making plans.

In survival games, survival supplies are definitely more precious in the early stages, especially since Liang Dong was stranded in an extreme environment like the desert, making the situation even more urgent. Every drop of water could be a key factor in determining life or death.

However, Liang Dong's supplies weren't actually bad. The two wooden crates could provide 10 planks, the iron block was exactly what Lin Yue desperately needed, and the glass, as a basic material, would definitely come in handy in the future. Therefore, by exchanging a bottle of water for his three materials, Liang Dong had actually gotten a slight advantage.

If this person's physique is really as special as everyone is saying, then she might be able to obtain a stable supply of materials.

Now that her food and water supplies are secure, if even the supply of materials can be stabilized, it will undoubtedly bring great benefits to her future development.

In this situation, I really have to lend a hand, but even though I have a lot of stuff, I don't want to be taken advantage of. So I need to think carefully about what to exchange.

After thinking for a while, Lin Yue made up her mind and then spoke up: "Okay, I'm willing to trade a bottle of water and a bird egg for the three materials you have, plus two boxes of sand. Do you agree?"

Ok?

Someone actually added extra food on their own initiative?

Upon hearing this, Liang Dong's eyes widened in astonishment. Had he encountered another swindler?

“However, I have one condition,” Lin Yue paused for a moment, then continued, “I hope that you will give me priority in exchanging any other materials you obtain afterward, aside from those you use yourself.”

"can!"

"no problem!"

"Absolutely no problem!"

Seemingly afraid that Lin Yue might change her mind, Liang Dong eagerly agreed, then quickly squatted down and began filling the empty box with sand, handful by handful.

After both parties had put their items away, Liang Dong opened his eyes wide and carefully checked the supplies Lin Yue had put in one last time. Only after confirming that there were no problems did he hesitantly click the confirm transaction button.

After receiving the items, Liang Dong couldn't wait to unscrew the bottle cap and take a sip of water.

As the cool water slowly slid down his throat, Liang Dong felt his vision rapidly returning. Soon, the confusion in his eyes faded away, and his original sharpness returned.

Unfortunately, mineral water couldn't replenish his stamina, and his stamina remained at 30 points.

Liang Dong looked at the small bird egg in his hand, hesitated for a moment. The bird egg was broken, and there was no stamina display, so he didn't know how long it could last him.

However, this was the only source of food. After thinking about it, Liang Dong decided not to break it open again, but instead put it into his mouth whole, shell and all.

He chewed slowly, the raw, fishy smell of the bird egg and the hardness of the shell not being very pleasant to his mouth, but he seemed not to feel it at all, chewing it bit by bit and swallowing it whole.

As the food in his mouth slid down his throat along with his saliva, Liang Dong suddenly felt a jolt. The warning text that had been flashing before his eyes, "[Stamina too low, please replenish as soon as possible]", finally disappeared, and he felt as if his body had regained a lot of strength.

The text appeared when his stamina dropped to 30 points. It was in bright red font and right above his eyelids, so he could see it as soon as he looked up.

Seeing the warning text disappear, Liang Dong immediately checked his data.

The stamina stat column clearly showed 60.

That bird egg actually gave him a full 30 points of stamina! That's equivalent to three loaves of bread.

Liang Dong was stunned for a moment. His first thought was that the young girl probably didn't know about this either, and that her kindness had brought him a great deal.

But upon closer reflection, I realized something was amiss.

He noticed it as soon as he took out the bird egg; there was some transparent, sticky mucus on the shell. Although the egg itself did have some tiny cracks, the inner membrane of the shell was intact, and the egg white hadn't leaked out. So the mucus must have come from the egg white of another bird's egg.

Since the other bird egg had already cracked, Lin Yue must have eaten it. Once she ate it, she would definitely see an increase in her stamina. So, this bird egg was actually the little girl subtly helping her, and the reward she asked for was nothing more than a vague promise!

After nearly being swindled out of all his supplies, Liang Dong, a grown man, felt his eyes well up with tears upon encountering such kindness.

He took a deep breath and silently remembered this kindness. Then, he carefully put away the remaining half-full bottle of water, picked up the net, and looked up at the sky again to search.

A drop of kindness deserves a spring of gratitude! He must live on, and live well!
