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

After bypassing the wetlands, Mo Ming continued walking for another 300 meters. During this time, he not only found a level 2 bronze resource box, but also had incredible luck in discovering a patch of sweet potatoes with intact vines.

Without saying a word, Mo Ming dug out the sweet potato and put it into his spatial ring, while he wrapped the sweet potato vines around his waist.

But their luck ran out after that; more than an hour passed and they hadn't gained anything.

I glanced at the time; there were still two hours of daylight left. Considering that I would have to carry the two jujube trees home, it would definitely take quite a while.

So Mo Ming decided to head straight back.

Mo Ming didn't linger on the road for the rest of the time and headed straight for the wetlands.

Calculating that there was still enough time, Mo Ming dug up two more Hundred Flower Fruit trees, carrying all four on his shoulders. The Hundred Flower Fruit trees were not particularly thick, so Mo Ming did not find it too strenuous to carry them.

After digging up trees and rushing along, it took Mo Ming about an hour to finally get back to the shelter.

Mo Ming planted four Hundred Flower Fruit trees in the previously planned open area on the black soil, which was a bit crowded. He then diluted the remaining fresh water from the Earth Holy Spring and irrigated the crops on the black soil.

As for the sweet potato seedlings, they had no choice but to make do and plant them in ordinary soil outside.

He glanced at the two little guys in the Beast King's Palace again. They had eaten almost all the meat and were lazily curled up together, fast asleep.

Mo Ming couldn't help but marvel at the benefits of thick fur; he could fall asleep instantly even on such a cold day.

Back in the shelter, after closing the bronze door, Mo Ming opened the level 1 bronze resource box.

They received 10 jin of light yellow rabbit meat, two 500 ml bottles of mineral water, and two landmine watermelons.

They're all food resources!!!

It seems the cold wave has really affected things; the proportion of food in the resource boxes has been increased.

They went out and threw two more pounds of beef to Gray Rock Bear as a midnight snack. Little Gold hadn't finished his beef yet, so they stopped giving him that too.

Mo Ming cut off a few slices with a knife, brushed them with oil, and started frying them in the pan.

There were also sweet potatoes. Mo Ming threw two into the fireplace to roast, and left the rest in the kitchen.

As if he had thought of something, Mo Ming opened his bracelet and asked Wang Xiaoyu to exchange it for 10 liters of fresh water.

The original price of 20 units of timber was waived by Wang Xiaoyu; it had to be free, and she even gave Mo Ming a 10L bucket for free.

The reason is simple: Mo Ming's name has three capital S's added to the end.

We must befriend such a powerful figure.

Mo Ming smiled helplessly, but still passed two catties of rabbit meat to Wang Xiaoyu, not wanting to take advantage of others.

Moreover, he was quite pleased with Wang Xiaoyu's overtures.

Wang Xiaoyu was very happy to see the big shot's generous feedback, it seems that the big shot had a good impression of her.

Song Yufei: Mo Ming, Mo Ming, dinner's ready, dinner's ready!

Mo Ming: I know! You look like that starving ghost reincarnated.

Mo Ming was also a bit hungry, so he decided to start cooking and finish his dinner first.

Beep beep!

Just as Mo Ming was preparing dinner, a message notification popped up on his bracelet.

It's a friend request. The name is Lin Nan, and the rating is A.

The application was approved, and the other party immediately sent a message.

Lin Nan: Hello, boss!

Mo Ming: Hello, what can I do for you?

Lin Nan: Boss, I'm Lin Qingqing's friend. I'd like to exchange some timber; she recommended me to come here.

Mo Ming: Oh, so how would you like to change it?

Lin Nan: The quantity is a bit large; I need 500 units of timber.

Mo Ming: What are you going to offer in exchange?

Mo Ming checked his wood reserves and found he still had 716 units of wood. He didn't have any upgrade plans at the moment, so it was enough for him. It would be good if he could exchange it for some useful resources.

Lin Nan: Um, what do you want, boss?

Mo Ming: Hmm... Do you have any special resources like bronze, silver, ores? Meat of pale yellow grade or higher is also fine, or seeds of pale yellow grade or higher are also acceptable.

Lin Nan: Uh, I see. Please wait a moment, sir.

Lin Nan: Is this enough for you to see? (Image.png)

Click on the image, and you'll see a bunch of items:

30 units of bronze and light yellow grade apple seeds (10 seeds per pack), 10 coal ore, and 1 random grade life skill design blueprint.

Mo Ming: 30 units of bronze can be exchanged for 150 units of wood, apple seeds for 100 units, coal ore for 100 units, and the blueprints are not guaranteed to be of a certain level, so let's say 100 units. We are still 50 units short.

Lin Nan: Um... then I'll add 5 more coal ore.

Mo Ming: Deal.

The transaction was over, and Mo Ming continued making noodles. He didn't bring canned fish today, but he did have roasted sweet potatoes, along with two slices of premium donkey meat. Hehe... what a sumptuous dinner.

Half an hour later, the fragrant noodles were ready.

Song Yufei's video call came in right on time, as if it were perfectly timed.

"Wow! Are you a dog? You arrived right after the noodles came out of the pot?"

Mo Ming was genuinely surprised; this was incredibly punctual. Even a dog wouldn't be as punctual as you!

"Tch! I have to keep an eye on you all the time, what if you run away with my flour?"

Mo Ming passed the noodles to Song Yufei and then ate them in big mouthfuls.

Song Yufei's bowl was a vegetable noodle dish, with a bucket of noodles and a pile of vegetable leaves, while Mo Ming's bowl was a meat and noodle dish, with half a pot of noodles and two pounds of meat...

"Hey, dare you give me a few more slices of donkey meat?"

"Resources are scarce, and there's not much meat left."

"Bullshit, then what are those two big pieces in your pot?"

"Um... well... hurry up and eat, it won't taste good if it gets cold."

"Go ahead and shut me up, hey... I remember reading something about insect feces, how come I can't recall it?"

(Mo Ming: Damn it, do you want to be any more obvious? You just want to eat meat, right?)

Suddenly, Mo Ming had a flash of inspiration and turned to the fireplace to dig out two roasted sweet potatoes that were buried under the charcoal.

He kept scrolling through the video.

"I wonder if roasted sweet potatoes have any stimulating or refreshing effect?"

Mo Ming muttered to himself while glancing out of the corner of his eye at the drooling foodie in the video.

"I heard that sweet potatoes can help restore memory, maybe eating them will help me remember! I just don't know... sigh..."

They really know how to take advantage of a situation, and they don't even try to hide their desires!

"Here you go!"

After saying that, Mo Ming passed a roasted sweet potato to Song Yufei.

"Oh my, look, roasted sweet potatoes are amazing! I just remembered them right away."

"..."

Wuyu's mother opened the door for him; Wuyu was home. But exchanging a roasted sweet potato for a piece of useful information wasn't a bad deal.

Don't let Mo Ming's usual carefree and cheerful demeanor fool you; when it comes to resource transactions, he gets incredibly serious.

"I've added someone as a friend. Her sanctuary is amazing, with tons of insects, to say the least. She also keeps a bunch of black steel beetles. I'll send you her contact information later, and you can contact her yourself!"

"Oh? It seems pretty reliable."

"Then you've seen it."

"I'm curious, how did you find this person? I searched for a long time on the trading platform, and even sent messages, but I didn't get any response!"

"Hmph! Who am I? How could a dog like you compare to me?"

"..."
