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

[Incorrect answer!]

Congratulations to the survivor for answering four questions correctly. Reward: One Water Bead

[Water-absorbing beads: Deep Blue grade]

Description: It can store 100 tons of water.

P.S.: It can only store a single type of water.

Great stuff! Now I have a freshwater storage solution, and I can take showers without worry.

After receiving the reward, Mo Ming was teleported out of the secret realm.

Then he took Xiong Da and Xiao Jin to the huge freshwater lake they had discovered earlier to get water.

The water droplet was quickly filled, and 100 tons of water were lost at once, but the freshwater lake seemed to be completely unaffected and did not appear to change.

Mo Ming was slightly startled; it seemed this freshwater lake held a secret!

Without much hesitation, Mo Ming left and returned to the shelter.

......

Having experienced the previous attacks by wild beasts, Mo Ming realized that he needed to speed up the construction of the shelter's defensive facilities.

Currently, the only combat force I have is Xiong Da, Xiong Er, Xiao Jin, and five giant man-eating plants, but they are all still in their juvenile stage and have limited combat power. I can still handle a dozen or so beasts of similar level.

If there were deep blue-level beasts or a large herd of beasts, they would be unable to withstand it.

So... a fully automated combat bunker is Momin's only option now.

Mo Ming pondered the bunker's supplies, muttering to himself, "Stone, bronze, and iron."

"Furthermore, crafting the Breaking Formation Crossbow requires a large amount of black iron, and the bolts also require wood and feathers..."

Based on his plan to set up a bunker every 5 meters, with four crossbows installed in each bunker, a 200m x 200m territory would require...

80 bunkers, 320 crossbows, and as for the materials...

Good heavens! Another astronomical figure.

Just thinking about it gives me a headache...

For the safety of the shelter, we have to do it, even if it's a huge headache!

Shaking his head slightly, Mo Ming, with a look of utter despair, reluctantly opened the world chat channel, typed a message, and sent it out:

Mo Ming: Buying large quantities of bronze, iron, wood, stone, and feathers. Prices are negotiable (Deep Blue-grade Holy Spring). Add me as a friend to discuss details!

......

Mo Ming sent 10 messages in a row, and then went to the trading platform to set up the transaction information.

Just as he was about to turn off the bracelet and go out to explore, a message in the chat channel caught Mo Ming's eye. To be precise, the person who sent the message made it impossible for him to look away.

That person was none other than Mo Ming's former goddess, Liu Simeng!

Liu Simeng: Mo Ming?

Looking at the real person's profile picture that had sent several messages in the channel, Liu Simeng's expression appeared somewhat unnatural.

(After being transported to the Misty World, everyone in the chat channel was forced to use real-life avatars and undergo real-name authentication, which could not be changed.)

He lost a leg, how did he manage to survive until now? And he even received an SSS rating in the first shelter assessment?

Or perhaps they just share the same name and happen to look so alike?

Seemingly unable to believe it, Liu Simeng edited another message and posted it in the channel.

Liu Simeng: Mo Ming, is that really you? Mo Ming from Class 34, Tieyuan No.1 High School?

This bastard is still alive? And her rating isn't low, an S. It would be better to add a B after that.

Mo Ming was furious! But he managed to control himself and didn't retaliate in the chat channel.

Soon, Liu Simeng sent a friend request.

Mo Ming didn't hesitate and approved it decisively. He also wanted to see what this bastard was up to.

Liu Simeng: Mo Ming, is that you? You're still alive?

Mo Ming: You're still alive, so of course I have to live well, right?

Liu Simeng: Oh my, you're really good at joking.

Liu Simeng: Where did you get your sacred spring from?

Mo Ming: I picked it up.

Liu Simeng: You found it? You're not kidding, are you?

Mo Ming: A joke? Didn't you start it?

Liu Simeng: ? ? ? ? ? ?

Mo Ming: Do you think I'm an idiot? Or are you out of your mind? Do you think I'd tell you the origin of the Holy Spring?

Liu Simeng: You!!!

Liu Simeng: Then can I trade with the Holy Spring?

Mo Ming: A deal? Sure! I'll give you a 100% discount!

Liu Simeng: Okay! I knew it...

Liu Simeng didn't read carefully and thought Mo Ming wrote "10% off," but after the message was sent, she realized it was "100% off."

Liu Simeng: 100% off? Are you crazy?

Mo Ming: Don't you know whether I'm sick or not? You should know best in your heart who gave me my leg, right?

Liu Simeng: Mo Ming, listen to me, I really didn't know he would do that?

Mo Ming: So do you know what he will do?

Liu Simeng: Oh, I'm so sorry! Anyway, you're fine now and doing so well, so don't worry about it!

Mo Ming: Oh? You don't mind? That's fine, but we'll have to see how sincere you are.

At this moment, both of them harbored their own ulterior motives. They both said they didn't care, but in their hearts...

Inside a Level 2 shelter.

"Hmph! Damn it, I should have let Mingyang kill him back then. How come he's still doing so well now, and even has a Deep Blue-level Earthly Sacred Spring? Just wait, once we get the Earthly Sacred Spring, let's see how long you can keep smug."

Meanwhile, Mo Ming...

"Hmph! You won't care? You can overlook my leg, but you'll have to pay for the dean's life."

Mo Ming: I'll give you a friendly price; the ratio of Earthly Holy Spring to any supplies I need is 1:100.

Liu Simeng: Oh dear, Brother Mo Ming, we don't have many resources left here, can't you make it a little cheaper?

Mo Ming: I give everyone else a 1:200 ratio, you should be content!

Mo Ming: If you don't have it, you can ask your brother Mingyang for it. Surely he has it, right?

"Hmph! Still trying to pull that on me?"

In the original world, Liu Simeng's coquettishness and cuteness were Mo Ming's strongest weapon. As long as Liu Simeng acted cute, Mo Ming would be completely smitten and would do whatever she wanted.

Why is it that Mo Ming likes her?

But now, Mo Ming only felt disgusted.

After waiting for a while, Liu Simeng did not reply to the message again, and Mo Ming did not continue to wait. He had never planned to trade with Liu Simeng in the first place. As for the 1:100 ratio?

Only a traitor would agree!

After turning off the bracelet, Mo Ming released the five giant carnivorous plants. The giant carnivorous plants were still in their juvenile stage, but they were already more than 2 meters tall and could move freely without soil, making them perfect for guarding the house.

After checking the reconnaissance data from the guardian radar, it was found that there were no deep blue-level beasts within a three-kilometer radius of the sanctuary.

Only then did he feel at ease taking the miniature version of Xiong Da out to explore. With this bodyguard, as long as no deep blue-level beasts appeared, they could basically roam freely around the shelter.

Now, whenever he goes out, Mo Ming only takes one dog with him, leaving the other one at the shelter to guard the house and prevent the giant tiger from stealing it.

As for Xiao Jin, although it is only at the pale yellow level, its body can reach a length of nearly 5 meters after spreading its wings. At this stage, it has few rivals in the air, so Mo Ming doesn't need to worry about its safety.

It's now a little eagle that's like the wind, always out in the wild.

Every now and then, he would bring back a couple of wild wolves, rabbits, and the like, which made Mo Ming very gratified. The little guy even knew how to help share his burden.

I had only taken a few steps outside when snowflakes began to fall. I don't know if it was just my imagination, but I inexplicably felt the temperature drop a few degrees.

I couldn't help but tighten my clothes and take a couple of big bites of grilled meat to give my body some energy.

"Ah! If only we had wine, we could eat meat to our hearts' content, drink wine from large bowls, and warm ourselves up. Wouldn't that be wonderful!"
