Survival in the Mist: From a Dilapidated Wooden Hut to a Heavenly Palace in the Clouds

Lu Mingyu: Thank you for understanding. So, one coconut is worth 8 units of wood?

Mo Ming: Deal.

Lu Mingyu: Okay!

[Lu Mingyu has sent you a trade request: 4 coconuts for 32 units of timber. Do you agree?]

agree!

Lu Mingyu: Boss, wait a moment. Do you need this?

Mo Ming: Is this ore?

Lu Mingyu sent it a message.

This is... a mixed iron ore?

Mo Ming was now quite agitated. He had been searching high and low for something, only to have it fall into his lap without any effort. He had been wondering where to find a piece of mixed iron ore, and now it had been delivered right to his doorstep.

This is the material used to build the Bronze Beast King's Palace!!!

Mo Ming: How do you want to trade?

Lu Mingyu: 50 units of timber.

Mo Ming: You actually dare to ask for that! 30 units.

Lu Mingyu: 40 units.

Mo Ming: Deal!

Lu Mingyu: Did I ask for too little?

Mo Ming: Hehe, I don't know either. Do you still have this?

Lu Mingyu: No, I found this by chance while I was beachcombing.

Mo Ming: Okay, let's work together again next time!

Lu Mingyu: OK

After carefully storing the mixed iron ore, Mo Ming took stock of the building materials for the Bronze Palace and prepared to go find Song Yufei to exchange it for stones.

Bronze Hall: 547/100 Wood, 0/50 Stone, 0/3 Bronze (Comes with a nested fireplace, chimney, and a random set of household item design blueprints)

Just then, Song Yufei sent a message.

Song Yufei: Is the timber ready?

Song Yufei: Is the timber ready?

Song Yufei: Is the timber ready?

Mo Ming: Just send the same message once, it's not like I can't see it.

Song Yufei: It's not like it's the time of day when you bombard me with messages first thing in the morning, is it?

Mo Ming: ......

Forget it, I won't stoop to your level.

Mo Ming: I need 100 units of stone.

Song Yufei: Okay, 300 units of timber.

Mo Ming: Aren't you going to give me a discount?

Song Yufei: What do you think?

Mo Ming: Sigh~ The world is so cold and heartless~

Song Yufei: This is the price, there's no way I'll give you a discount. Who told you to disturb my sleep? Take it or leave it!

Mo Ming: It seems I can only gulp down a couple of coconuts and devour a piece of rabbit meat to soothe my emotional wounds... Then I'll go find someone else to trade with; yours is too expensive.

Song Yufei: ? ? ?

Song Yufei: A big coconut, and rabbit meat! Where did you get these?

Song Yufei: I want one too!

Mo Ming: The price...

Song Yufei: Fine, I'll give you a 250.

(Mo Ming: You're the only idiot.)

Mo Ming: 200.

Song Yufei: Why don't you just die? 220.

Mo Ming: Then let's add another empty bronze resource box.

Song Yufei: How did you know I had it?

Mo Ming: Just guessing!

(Mo Ming: Damn it, with your luck, it would be strange if you didn't get it.)

Song Yufei: Sure, but you have to tell me what you want an empty Bronze Resource Box for?

Mo Ming: To be honest, I live behind the Bronze Gate, and I need bronze to cast the Bronze Palace.

Song Yufei: Bronze Gate? Why don't you just say your name is Zhang Qiling? Fine, don't tell me then.

Mo Ming: Actually, my nickname is...

Song Yufei: Get out! Don't you dare insult my idol!

Mo Ming: ...

Soon, Song Yufei received a transaction request from Mo Ming.

[Mo Ming has sent you a trade request: 220 units of wood + 1 pound of Red Mad Rabbit meat for 100 units of stone + 1 empty bronze resource box. Do you agree?]

agree!

After the transaction was completed, Mo Ming remembered that there was still a level 1 bronze resource box that hadn't been opened, so he immediately found it and opened it.

A flash of cyan light appeared, and three orbs of light floated out.

The three orbs of light each produced a ten-pound cashmere quilt, a bag of corn seeds (5 seeds per bag), and a torch-making blueprint, all of which were of the light yellow grade.

I have to say, the three items I got are incredibly cost-effective – one for keeping warm, one for filling my stomach, and one for lighting and warmth. They're really great!

After opening the chests, Mo Ming disassembled the two empty Level 1 Bronze resource chests into Bronze units, for a total of 10 units.

Seeing that all the materials were ready, Mo Ming eagerly opened his survival bracelet, and a notification immediately popped up:

[To complete the construction of the Bronze Age House, please select the facility you wish to build.]

Mo Ming chose the Bronze Hall option.

【Bronze Hall: 327/100 Wood, 100/50 Stone, 10/3 Bronze (Comes with a nested fireplace, chimney, and a random set of household item design blueprints)】

[Building the Bronze Hall will require the above materials. Confirm?]

confirm!

More than 600 units of timber have been reduced to 327 units in the blink of an eye. They really don't last long!

A dozen seconds later, accompanied by a flash of blue light, the bronze hall was completed.

Please select a placement location.

Mo Ming placed it on the east side of the old house in the shelter. The entire hall occupied almost half of the shelter's area. The fireplace was right next to the east wall, with a suitable length and width, and was right next to the bronze window. Outside, a chimney miraculously extended from the roof of the shelter.

After completing the bronze hall, seeing that there were still materials left over, Mo Ming then built a bronze workbench according to the instructions and placed it in the center of the hall.

Bronze Workbench: 227/100 Wood, 50/50 Stone, 7/2 Bronze (Can craft items of Emerald grade and below. Requires blueprints or material recipes. Includes a random bronze craft blueprint).

With the initial goal achieved, Mo Ming carefully reviewed the resources at his disposal.

[Shelter: Level 2 - Bronze Ancient House]

Size: 49 square meters

Facilities: Bronze Hall, Bronze Workbench (Function: Torch Making)

Required basic materials for upgrade: 117/300 wood, 0/400 stone

Add materials (optional): Feel free to experiment (5/100 bronze or other special materials)

Description: A sturdy and ancient bronze house, a bronze door symbolizing the suppression of spirits, an eternally burning bronze lamp, an ancient and solemn bronze hall, a fully functional bronze workbench—it seems something is missing...

Looking at the changed information about the shelter, Mo Ming fell into deep thought:

The description of the Bronze House has changed, seemingly related to the shelter facilities, and it's unclear when it will be fully updated.

......

One light yellow steel hacksaw

A long sword made of light yellow grade fine steel

Five pale yellow giant carnivorous plant seeds

Pale yellow plant catalytic fertilizer formula

One gray-white grade wooden-handled stone axe

Two empty coconuts + three whole coconuts

A bag of compressed biscuits

A box of canned ribbonfish

5 catties of rabbit meat

A 500ml bottle of mineral water + less than half a bottle of mineral water

1 mixed iron ore

127 unit of timber

Bronze 5 units

One empty Black Iron Resource Box

A light yellow, 10-pound cashmere comforter

One bag of light yellow grade corn seeds (5 seeds per bag)

Pale Yellow Torch Manufacturing Blueprint

Random household item blueprints (included with the Bronze Hall)

Random bronze artifact design blueprint (unique) (Bronze workbench included)

One Golden-feathered Skyhawk chick (gray-white level) --- already domesticated

Looking at the supplies in front of him, Mo Ming smiled happily. In less than two days, he had already obtained so many resources, which was really beyond his expectations.

Open the workbench, put the torch manufacturing blueprint inside, and the blueprint instantly disappears. In its place, a torch-shaped button appears in the function area of ​​the bronze workbench.

In the world of Mist, blueprints and scrolls are consumables, but they are not the same as other consumables. Once the blueprint is fed to the workbench, it becomes a permanent function of the workbench, and the corresponding item can be crafted at any time as long as there are enough materials.

[Torch: Pale Yellow]

Materials: 5 units of wood

Function: Can burn for 2 hours

Description: Fire in the cold, light in the darkness.

Mo Ming directly input 10 units of wood and clicked to start manufacturing!

Soon, two unlit torches appeared on the workbench. They could be lit simply by using the ancient bronze lamp.
