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

Upon entering the Mist Shop, I checked the refresh time and saw that the items in the Deep Blue Zone would refresh in less than two minutes.

At this point, many survivors should be waiting here, looking at the items in the deep blue zone.

Mo Ming was one of them, as was Song Yufei.

The two made a video call and stared at the store with wide eyes.

time up.

At this moment, a notification pops up in the Mist Shop, indicating that all items in the shop have been refreshed.

Not only the dark blue zone, but also the products in the other zones have been refreshed.

But Mo Ming had no interest in looking at other areas; his eyes were fixed on the Deep Blue area. Although he knew the prices might be high, he thought, "What if they are?"

What if you can afford it, but someone else snatches it up first? Who will you cry to then?

It's likely that the survivors lurking here all share this same thought.

The dark blue zone has fewer products and only three fixed stalls, so the interface looks very simple.

In the very center of the interface are three stalls displaying goods, which are currently empty. Below each stall is a sign that presumably indicates its price.

But now it's blocked out.

"Mo Ming, what's going on? My prices are all blocked."

"Me too, I guess it's because of the special purchase rules! Let's wait and see, there should be an explanation."

After waiting quietly for five minutes, the page finally changed.

Without any fancy embellishments, the page simply displays a few lines of blue text, outlining the purchase rules for the dark blue zone.

The content is not complicated. The three items on the page will appear in sequence, and the subsequent items will only appear after the first item is successfully purchased.

The purchase methods for the three products may differ, and when a product becomes available, its purchase method will also emerge.

As the three-second countdown ended, the first item appeared on the stall.

Item No. 001: Beast Upgrade Scroll (Emerald Grade)

[Beast Upgrade Scroll: Emerald Grade]

Description: This skill can raise the level of any beast below Emerald Green (including Emerald Green) by one.

Purchase method: Guess the price. Each person has one chance. The person whose guess is closest to the actual price wins the bid and can purchase the item at the guessed price. If payment is not completed within the time limit, the person will be prohibited from purchasing the next two items, and this item will be locked and cannot be purchased this time.

Purchase time: Three-minute countdown begins.

It has to be said that this way of buying is quite novel. When guessing the price, you not only have to get as close to the real price as possible, but you also have to be realistic and make sure that you can afford the price you guess.

However, if all participants agree on the action and all guess 1 Ancient Coin, and then one person guesses 2 Ancient Coins, then they will obtain this Beast Upgrade Scroll at the lowest cost.

Unfortunately, this situation is absolutely, and will never, occur.

"Mo Ming, Mo Ming, did you see that?"

"I'm not blind, why would I be tempted?"

"What do you think? With it, I can meet the most difficult requirements for upgrading my shelter."

"Then you'd better think carefully about its value!"

It has to be said that Mo Ming was also very envious of this item, but now that the two have formed an alliance, and the shelter's assessment is that it is a two-person binding, helping Song Yufei get this scroll is more meaningful than getting it for himself.

Referring to the price of 150 Ancient Spirit Coins for the Shelter Transfer Array Orb in the Thousand Faces Green Zone, Mo Ming guessed it would be 171 Ancient Spirit Coins.

It wasn't that Mo Ming thought its value lay in this, but rather that Mo Ming only had this many Ancient Spirit Coins.

He is trying to get as close to the real price as possible.

This scroll is very valuable. Although it is only emerald green, it can create a deep blue pet, which is understandable for it to appear in the deep blue zone.

Moreover, when it appears at this time, its value is at least 30% higher than under normal circumstances.

The reason is that it appears at this time, so its greatest value is that it will enable survivors to meet the most difficult shelter upgrade conditions.

Wait, I forgot to ask Song Yufei how many Ancient Spirit Coins she had. It would definitely be closer if the two of them combined theirs.

"Little girl, have you guessed yet? If not, don't guess yet."

Upon hearing Mo Ming's words, Song Yufei stopped writing down the price.

"Not yet, what's wrong?"

How many Ancient Coins do you have?

"110 pieces."

"Then guess 281, and the rest is up to luck."

"it is good!"

Song Yufei was very clever and immediately understood what Mo Ming meant. Before the countdown ended, she wrote down the number 281.

Soon, the purchase results appeared in the shop: [Congratulations to survivor Lu Mingyu for purchasing the first item for 346 Ancient Spirit Coins.]

Seeing that it wasn't her name, Song Yufei looked somewhat dejected.

However, things quickly returned to normal. You can't force these things; there's nothing you can do about it—we just can't afford to be as wealthy as others.

Immediately afterwards, the actual price of the Beast Upgrade Scroll was also displayed below the merchandise stall: 450 Ancient Coins.

Mo Ming was slightly surprised when he saw the name of the successful bidder.

"It's him?"

"You know him?"

"Remember that big coconut we ate before? That's the one I traded with him."

"Ow!"

"Don't be sad, there's nothing we can do about it. Let's see what happens next."

"Uh-huh."

Immediately afterwards, information about the second item appeared on the stall.

Item No. 002: Black Gold Armor (Dark Blue Grade)

[Black Gold Armor: Deep Blue Grade]

Description: Forged entirely of gold and infused with black clay as a binding material, the black gold armor offers extremely high defense, can activate a small shield, and feels weightless and sturdy.

Purchase method: Auction, starting bid 150 Ancient Coins

This item is extremely valuable to any survivor.

With it, life has an extra layer of protection.

Seeing the eagerness in Mo Ming's heart, Song Yufei asked, "Mo Ming, do you want this armor?"

After a moment, Mo Ming shook his head, indicating that he had given up.

"No need for it. This armor does significantly boost an individual's strength, but it's not very useful for our shelter's rating in seven days."

At best, it might only add some value to individual skills. I'd like to take a look at the third item. If it helps our rating, then we can make a move.

Even if you can't buy all three items, check out the earlier sections and find something suitable.

"I didn't realize you had such a sensitive mind!"

"There are many things you haven't noticed. Would you like your brother to explain them to you in detail?"

"You've even learned to take advantage of others, you old scoundrel."

"Hey hey hey..."

Mo Ming, who had decided to give up on the item, clicked on the first few sections to take a look.

There were no items I liked in the entire gray and white area and pale yellow area.

When it was the Emerald Green section's turn, Mo Ming's eyes lit up. Today, the Emerald Green section no longer had just one item; it had increased to a full nine.

He actually found something he had been longing for.

【Agricultural Processing Machine: Emerald Green Grade】

Function: It can be used for preliminary processing of agricultural products.

Description: A farmer's favorite...

Upon seeing the price, Mo Ming fell silent; it actually cost 120 Ancient Spirit Coins.

Let's leave it for now and wait to see the information for the last item.

Mo Ming withdrew and returned to the Deep Blue Zone, where the auction for the second item had already ended.

In the end, it was bought by a handsome Chinese man named Christopher for 489 Guling coins.

Mo Ming couldn't help but exclaim, "This is what a real tycoon is like!"
