Good heavens, both are light yellow grade, but this iron pickaxe is far superior to my hacksaw. It increases stone production by 10%, that's outrageous!

[Unidentified bird egg: Grayish-white level]

Introduction: You never know what kind of bird will hatch; it can range from a roc to a sparrow. It's all about the thrill.

P.S.: It tastes amazing whether steamed, boiled, fried, or deep-fried!

Lin Qingqing: "This is one of the items I got from opening a level 1 bronze resource. I'm showing it to everyone, hehe!"

Lin Qingqing: "It's a pity I didn't have a taming scroll, so I can only steam it and eat it!"

"Big Brother YYDS, we don't even have anything to eat here, she's started eating bird eggs."

"What do the bird eggs in the Misty World taste like? Share them with us later."

"Trading timber for bird eggs."

"Potatoes for bird eggs."

"..."

What the hell!

Steamed?

What a waste! If it hatches into a ferocious bird, wouldn't that make you a true winner in life?

No, I have to save the little sparrow from its dire straits—oh wait, I mean the roc! Who doesn't have a dream?

Without having time to check the item information, Mo Ming quickly opened Lin Qingqing's private chat, sent a friend request, and noted that he was trading bird eggs.

Mo Ming made up his mind to try his best to trade for the bird eggs. Even if an ordinary sparrow hatched, he would simply not tame it.

Soon, the friend request was accepted, and a message flashed in the friend list.

Lin Qingqing: Hello, are you looking to trade bird eggs?

Mo Ming: Yes, name your price, and if it's reasonable, we'll make a deal.

Lin Qingqing: Now that you mention it, I really don't know what I should ask for. Why don't you make an offer, and I'll see if I need it?

My hair!

What do you mean you don't know what you want? You don't lack anything? Water? Food? Wood? Stone? ...

Mo Ming felt like crying but had no tears left; this was the difference between them.

While you were starving and suffering from hunger, others had already forgotten what they wanted. How could you be so rich?

Mo Ming: Well, the only thing I can offer right now is timber, twenty units of timber?

Lin Qingqing: Fifty units.

Mo Ming: Thirty units.

Lin Qingqing: Fifty units.

Mo Ming: Forty units.

Lin Qingqing: Fifty units.

Mo Ming: Forget it, it's too expensive.

Lin Qingqing: Okay, come find me again if you need anything!

Mo Ming was practically grinding his teeth to dust. This girl wouldn't act until she saw the benefit; what could he do? She had everything she needed.

Resources are only precious to those who have a scarcity of them, but look at their attitude, do they seem to be short of timber?

Mo Ming: Deal.

Open the trading platform and Mo Ming initiates a trade: 50 units of timber for one unidentified bird egg (grayish-white level). Send?

Yes!

Soon, Mo Ming received confirmation of the transaction from the other side.

In an instant, the fifty units of wood placed in front of him disappeared with a white light, replaced by a grayish-white bird egg the size of an adult's head.

The actual bird eggs were even more attractive than those in the photos, and I inexplicably liked them terribly.

Fifty units of timber, and bird eggs—don't disappoint me when the time comes!

After daydreaming for a moment, Mo Ming opened the chat box again.

Mo Ming: If I may ask, do you lack no resources at all?

Lin Qingqing: Of course not! I'm short of wood and stones, and I don't have much water either.

Mo Ming: Then why do you act like you have everything you need?

Lin Qingqing: Otherwise, how can we raise the price?

These two sentences struck Mo Ming like a bolt from the blue. He realized he had fallen for this girl's trick; she definitely had the mindset of a top salesperson!

But you can't blame them, since it was consensual. It's your own fault for being so impatient.

Mo Ming: The city is full of tricks, I want to go back to the countryside!

Lin Qingqing: Hehehe...

Learn as long as you live!

Mo Ming was not discouraged. This was experience. The fifty units of timber were well spent. He not only bought bird eggs, but also learned a lesson.

He opened the trading platform and scrolled through it. His next target for trading was food and water.

He didn't want to spend those long 14 hours of the night in hunger and thirst.

Clicking on someone's profile picture reveals that everyone's information in the Misty World is real, using their real name, and their profile picture is also a photograph of someone else.

This person, named Lu Mingyu, planned to exchange coconuts for some timber. He didn't specify the exact amount of the transaction, only saying that he would add Lu Mingyu as a friend to discuss the details.

I received a reply very quickly after sending the friend request.

I guess most people are doing the same thing now, staying in world chat channels and trading platforms, waiting for the right opportunity to act.

Lu Mingyu: Hello!

Mo Ming: Hello, I see you want to exchange coconuts for timber. Are you at the beach?

Lu Mingyu: Yes, I'm on an island, or more precisely, on a beach.

Mo Ming: How would you like to change it?

Lu Mingyu: One coconut can be exchanged for ten units of wood.

Mo Ming: Goodbye!

Are you kidding me? Do you really think Mo Ming is still the same gullible fool he used to be? After Lin Qingqing taught him a lesson, he's become... much more shrewd!

According to him, being on the beach, with the sea blocking his way, there was only one way to obtain timber: deep into the island.

Unlike Mo Ming, who can explore in all directions and has opportunities to obtain wood.

Moreover, he certainly wouldn't dare to explore too deep into the island. Judging from his current lack of timber, he probably hasn't obtained a logging tool like a hacksaw, and is likely still using that wooden-handled stone axe that even dogs wouldn't use.

There should be coconut trees on the beach, but he wouldn't be willing to cut them down.

Therefore, he doesn't lack food for the time being, but wood is a necessity.

For most people, timber is extremely scarce, and even if they go to a trading platform, it is difficult to find a suitable trading partner.

After all, not many people can own a hacksaw on the first day.

Mo Ming was certain that Lu Mingyu would come looking for him.

Sure enough, a message came in half an hour later.

Lu Mingyu: Honey! Are you still there?
