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

Looking at the colorful cloth bag and jade-colored box in front of them, Mo Ming and Song Yufei were very excited.

This was the first time the two had won a bid, and it was a double win. Although the process was somewhat tortuous, the result was good.

However, along with the excitement came a little nervousness. This super "scratch card" that cost a huge sum of 2200 Ancient Spirit Coins was worthless. If the item that came out wasn't valuable, it would really be a "flying lottery ticket."

"Should you drive first or should I?" Song Yufei asked.

"I'll go first! Uh, no, you go first! I'm a little nervous."

This feeling of anticipation and nervousness made Mo Ming's palms sweat.

"Look at you, so pathetic. I'll go first."

Song Yufei rolled her eyes at Mo Ming.

"brush!"

The colorful cloth bag opened with a click, but Song Yufei kept her eyes tightly shut. "Mo Ming, Mo Ming, what happened? What did you get?"

Mo Ming found it amusing. This girl said I was useless, but she wasn't much better!

"Haha, you've got some ambition, but not much!"

"Hey, stop laughing, come and see what came out!"

Mo Ming turned his head and stared at the twelve differently shaped orbs of light floating in the air, his mouth agape.

After pausing for about ten seconds, she excitedly shouted, "Yufei, we've made it!"

Hearing Mo Ming's excited voice, Song Yufei quickly opened her tightly closed eyes and looked up in the direction of the ball of light.

Wow! It's true! We're rich! We're rich!

Song Yufei was overjoyed.

"How about that, little idiot? You've seen my power, haven't you? If you were driving, you probably wouldn't get anything good."

"Holy crap, you're going to criticize me for this?"

"Humph!"

"..."

Getting back to the point, this super gift pack truly lived up to its reputation as a massive item worth 2000 Ancient Spirit Coins; the contents of the package were enough to make their villa overlook the sea.

If used properly, it can definitely take the shelter to the next level.

2000 units of fine steel

2000 magnets

2000 units of saltpeter

2000 units of silver

2000 units of black iron

2000 units of gunpowder

2000 units of redwood

2000 units of oak

2000 peaches

2000 live purple bamboo plants

2000 hematite ore pieces

2000 pebbles

The variety and quantity are abundant, and most importantly, all the items obtained are of the deep blue grade.

Putting everything else aside, considering the exchange rate of one to ten Ancient Spirit Coins for Deep Blue-grade items, even if all of them were used to exchange for Ancient Spirit Coins, that would amount to 240000 coins!

Of course, they couldn't possibly use all of it to exchange for Ancient Spirit Coins; most of the resources were for current needs.

Materials like saltpeter, gunpowder, fine steel, and black iron were used entirely to manufacture steel cannons and shells, leaving none behind.

It's a bit of a pity that there's no sulfur inside, otherwise all the materials would be complete.

Living purple bamboo is definitely something that should be cultivated. Hematite and magnetite are also rare resources, so keeping them in hand is certainly not a bad thing; you never know when you might need them.

I'll probably save the peaches to eat or make fruit wine.

The only materials that can be used to exchange for Ancient Spirit Coins are redwood, rubber, and pebbles.

But that's still a huge fortune.

Looking at the enormous wealth before them, the two were overwhelmed with excitement.

Good heavens! The store really didn't lie to me.

This is an amazing gift package; it truly lives up to the "amazing" title. I love it!

"Mo Ming, do you have any channels for trading sulfur?"

"Now that we have plenty of materials, except for sulfur, I can manufacture at least ten steel cannons."

"I have no clue. Sulfur is usually more abundant near volcanoes, but it seems that there are no survivors near volcanoes in my trading circle."

Mo Ming shook his head helplessly. After thinking carefully, he really couldn't find such a person.

"Where did you get the sulfur you used to make the shells?"

Song Yufei's face also showed helplessness, "When I tried to contact that person these past two days, I found that his profile picture was grayed out and I couldn't send messages."

"Gray avatar? Does that mean...they've gone offline?"

"should be."

A hint of sadness appeared on Song Yufei's face. It wasn't that she had a deep relationship with that person, but rather that she was inevitably a little uneasy about someone suddenly dying in her friend list.

"How about this, let's ask everyone on our friend list again later, one by one. Who knows, maybe someone else has also obtained sulfur!"

Who cares how much, every little bit counts!

"Okay, sure. Oh, right, I was so excited I forgot to unlock your random map resources!"

Mo Ming slapped his forehead. "Oh right, I almost forgot about that."

Mo Ming walked to the jade-colored box, gently lifted the lid, and a ball of light appeared.

[Pine Forest: Dark Blue Level]

Area: Three mu

Description: This is a three-acre high-quality pine forest with fertile soil and robust pine trees. To maintain its sustainable development, please do not over-harvest it!

"not bad."

Mo Ming felt that the pine forest that could be obtained from this random map resource was quite profitable.

Although the two of them don't have a great need for wood at the moment, so many deep blue-grade pine trees would be a huge sum of money just to exchange for Ancient Spirit Coins.

Mo Ming chose to place it about 30 meters west of the shelter.

It will be easier to collect timber then.

"Mo Ming, you've made a fortune since you opened up this pine forest!"

"Huh? You also think that cutting down trees to exchange for Ancient Spirit Coins is a good idea, right?" Mo Ming asked with a proud look.

Snapped!

Song Yufei just slapped her on the head.

"Idiot! All you know is Ancient Spirit Coins. Such a high-quality pine forest might attract some squirrels, pheasants, or other wild game. We can catch them and raise them, then we'll have more kinds of meat to eat in the future."

"All you ever do is eat, don't you?"

Mo Ming curled his lip.

"Humph!"

……

The two first exchanged all the pebbles for Ancient Spirit Coins, and then Mo Ming returned 1400 of them to Liu Heng.

They even sent him an extra twenty deep blue-grade peaches, demonstrating that Mo Ming had handled the social niceties perfectly.

Liu Heng: Brother, you paid me back so quickly? It's only been twenty minutes, right?

Mo Ming: Haha, Brother Liu, those Ancient Spirit Coins of yours have been a great help. I earned them back in no time.

Liu Heng: Huh? I just saw that the eligibility to buy the second item ended up in your hands. You must have gotten something good!

Mo Ming: Yeah! Anyway, we didn't lose out. You, your sister-in-law, and your friends can all try some of these peaches.

Liu Heng: Hahaha, great!

Liu Heng knew how precious the deep blue-grade peach was, but after spending so much time together, he also knew Mo Ming's character. Mo Ming genuinely wanted to thank him, so he didn't stand on ceremony and simply accepted it.

Mo Ming didn't go into details either. It wasn't that he didn't trust Liu Heng, but since he was now working with Song Yufei, things still needed to be discussed between the two of them.

We can't expect others to be enthusiastically gathering their resources and planning for development while we recklessly reveal all our secrets to them.

That would be disrespectful to her, and Mo Ming would never do that.

Just like when Liu Heng lent him Ancient Spirit Coins, it was the result of discussing with his partners.

It has to be said that Mo Ming and Song Yufei won their gamble and made a fortune!

It's absolutely great value for money.
