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

The purpose of this trip was to explore the surrounding environment and find resources. In order to avoid taking the same route and wasting time, Mo Ming decided to go in the opposite direction from the forest.

Looking in this direction, there are no towering trees, but rather weeds that are more than half a person tall.

Mo Ming, carrying a stone axe, cautiously stepped into the bushes and began to search.

In the original world, Mo Ming's experiences could be described as extremely tragic, with absolutely no luck to speak of.

But this time, Lady Luck smiled upon him.

He had only walked about ten meters when a greenish light caught his eye. Although it was in the grass, most of the weeds had withered and turned yellow due to the cold snap, making the greenish light quite noticeable.

Mo Ming wasn't overwhelmed by the surprise. After carefully confirming that there was no danger around him, he strode towards the blue light.

A large "2" was engraved on the blue box.

Bronze Resource Box?

2?

Could it be a level 2 bronze resource box?

I previously saw information about resource boxes in the "Misty World Introduction" section of the Survival Bracelet.

In this misty world, there are many ways to obtain resources. Besides manually gathering resources such as cutting down trees and digging for stones, opening chests—that is, searching for resource boxes—is also a very efficient method.

Moreover, resource boxes usually contain good items.

However, the resource boxes spawn randomly, appearing randomly in various corners of the misty world at different stages.

Finding someone like Mo Ming near a shelter is pure luck!

Resource boxes vary from one to another. Classified by quality from lowest to highest, they are: Iron Resource Box, Bronze Resource Box, Silver Resource Box, Gold Resource Box, Platinum Resource Box, Emerald Resource Box, Diamond Resource Box, and Star Stone Resource Box...

Each type of resource box is divided into three levels: 1, 2, and 3. The higher the level, the higher the value.

Of course, the higher the quality and level of the resource box, the lower the probability of it spawning.

The box in front of Mo Ming, engraved with a large number "2", is a Level 2 Bronze Resource Box.

This isn't just good luck, it's downright bad luck!

Keep in mind that this is only the first day. According to the introduction to the Mist World, during the first few days of the new player protection period, only level 1-3 black iron resource boxes and level 1-3 bronze resource boxes will spawn, and the number will be limited.

For a survivor with over 90 billion lives, finding even a bronze resource box is already considered quite good.

The resources in the resource box are also very diverse, ranging from high-quality equipment, blueprints, and advanced scrolls to food, water, clothing, and props.

Unboxing is like opening a blind box; it's all about luck.

Unable to contain his joy and excitement, Mo Ming picked up the bronze box, knowing that more resources might mean a longer period of survival.

Instead of opening the resource box immediately, he carried it back to the shelter.

Firstly, the resource box wasn't heavy, so Mo Ming could easily carry it back. Secondly, the shelter wasn't far from here, so it wouldn't take much time to get back.

Most importantly, if the items unearthed are large in size or weight, it will take a lot of effort to move them to the shelter.

He dared not gamble, nor could he afford to gamble. Already lacking food and water, he couldn't afford to expend too much energy, otherwise, if he became dehydrated or weak, the consequences would be dire...

Upon arriving at the shelter, Mo Ming felt both excited and apprehensive.

With a trembling hand and an excited heart, I raise a glass to my goddess!

"Lady Luck, please bless me and let me win the grand prize!"

"open!"

As the Level 2 Bronze Resource Box was opened, a bluish-green light instantly emanated from it.

At this moment, Mo Ming didn't dare to blink, for fear that the treasure would fly away from him.

As the light faded, five objects floated out of the box like orbs of light.

As Mo Ming's gaze followed, the survival bracelet displayed all the item's information.

The appearance of the first item dazzled Mo Ming's eyes.

[Plant-based catalytic fertilizer manufacturing formula: pale yellow grade]

Ingredients: 50g insect excrement, 50ml fresh water, 1 plant root

Function: It can shorten the plant growth cycle.

Gray-white level plants: shorten by 30%

Pale yellow plants: shorten by 15%

Introduction: Black fertilizer turns gray, gray fertilizer turns black; black fertilizer turns gray and volatilizes, gray fertilizer volatilizes and turns black. Catalyst fertilizers volatilize...

The level system for resources such as wild animals and items is the same as that for survivors, divided into gray-white, light yellow, emerald green, dark blue, crimson, bright orange, and scarlet levels...

Plant roots and stems are not difficult to obtain. Since there are no special instructions, it should be possible to obtain any plant. Fresh water should also be not difficult with some effort, otherwise everyone would die of thirst.

As for insect droppings... where do you get those?

The first item yielded a recipe, and it was even a pale yellow one. If this were used to create a plant growth catalyst fertilizer, the growth cycle of crops would be greatly shortened. Whether for personal use or for trading, its value would be self-evident.

After all, time is of the essence before the cold wave truly arrives.

Could it be that the toast Mo Ming offered to Lady Luck (his flattery) actually worked?

I'm inexplicably delighted to accept the recipe!

Looking at the second item, information instantly came into view.

[Hacksaw: Light Yellow Grade]

Description: A hacksaw with super-sharp teeth, it saves time and effort in logging, and the effect is simply amazing. It's Bald Qiang's favorite!

The quality is so-so, only light yellow grade, but it's a hacksaw after all. This will definitely greatly improve the efficiency of collecting wood. A wooden-handled stone axe? Even a dog wouldn't need it!

The item in the middle is a long knife, with a blade about 1 meter long and a handle about 20 centimeters long.

[Fine Steel Longsword: Pale Yellow Grade]

Introduction: Without the Heaven-Slaying Sword, who can rival it?

Do you really think you're some kind of dragon-slaying sword? You claim that without the Heaven-Reliant Sword, who can rival you? You're utterly shameless.

Despite his complaints, Mo Ming was still quite satisfied. He really needed a decent weapon for self-defense. A wooden-handled stone axe? Even a dog wouldn't use that!

The fourth item is relatively small, and it looks like there are several of them.

[Giant Carnivorous Plant Seeds: Pale Yellow Grade]

Quantity: 5

Description: A giant, growable carnivorous plant that likes to strike unexpectedly. Its roots can detach from the soil and move around freely. It is quite aggressive and, when fully grown, can swallow mountains and rivers—just kidding! However, it can easily devour large predators.

Mo Ming's eyes widened. He could already imagine the scene of five giant man-eating plants growing around his shelter in the future. They could even move, they were definitely giant land piranhas!

The last item is a scroll.

[Taming Scroll: Grayish White Level]

Description: Can tame gray-white level beasts, including plants. The weaker the target, the higher the success rate. Tamed beasts will be absolutely loyal to their master!

Grayish-white level? So what? We'll nurture it slowly!

This is a taming scroll. Having it is basically like having a loyal teammate to guard your home. Isn't that great?

After reading all this, Mo Ming didn't know how to describe his feelings at that moment.

One word: fucking awesome!
