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

"Yes!"

"Did happiness come so suddenly?" A shy yet expectant look suddenly appeared on Mo Ming's face.

Seeing Mo Ming's deadpan expression, Song Yufei knew he was thinking about some inappropriate image again, so she immediately slapped him on the head and said, "Be serious! Don't think like that."

Song Yufei's bucket of cold water poured directly down Mo Ming's euphoria, and Mo Ming subconsciously muttered something.

"Not with me..."

Song Yufei interrupted him directly, "Hmph! You big jerk, all you do is dream!"

"Then why did you make it?"

"Mo Ming, let me ask you something. Now that the Misty World has launched the Partner Agreement, and teleportation array orbs are easy to obtain, what will everyone do next?"

Mo Ming immediately understood after Song Yufei's suggestion: "The connections between survivors will become more frequent, and desires that were originally limited by distance and other factors will be released as a result. So you want to mass-produce condoms and sell them to those who need them."

“You’re a promising young man. That’s right. Now is the time when we need to stick together and support each other. Wouldn’t these men and women who have finally gathered together do something?”

But surely nobody wants to get pregnant in this kind of environment, right?

"Therefore, condoms are definitely a business opportunity, and we are sure to make a fortune."

Mo Ming silently gave Song Yufei a thumbs up, then looked at her with a half-smile, "Didn't realize...you're the real pro! Hahahaha..."

Song Yufei blushed. "No...no, I've never even had a boyfriend...how could that be...it's all from...what I read online..."

The voice grew softer and softer until it was almost inaudible by the end.

Mo Ming stopped teasing her and said softly, "You've woken me up from my dream. This time we're sure to make a fortune."

The two quickly reached a consensus that the idea was absolutely feasible. After all, in the original world, the market for condoms was enormous, with global consumption reaching hundreds of billions every year.

Even after an Olympic Games, the number of condoms consumed can reach nine figures.

Currently, no one has been found selling condoms or blueprints. Generally speaking, blueprints that appear repeatedly are for basic tools or low-value items.

The more unique, rare, and in high demand a product's blueprint is, the less likely survivors will obtain it.

As things stand, the two even have reason to believe that others may not have the blueprints for condoms.

Otherwise, it's impossible that there wouldn't have been any news related to condoms during the days when the trading platform was in operation or shut down.

Mo Ming then specifically searched for the keyword "condom" on short video platforms, but the results showed that no relevant content was found, which further solidified their idea.

“Yufei, we only have 100 units of rubber here right now. According to the materials recorded on the condom blueprint, that's enough to make 100 condoms.”

[Condom Pattern]

Material: 1 unit of rubber

Purified water: 10ml

Introduction: Who do you want to use it with? Who can you use it with?

"I think it would be best if we could first acquire a large quantity of rubber, and then process and sell it."

Song Yufei immediately understood Mo Ming's idea. "That's right. If we sell it first, the rubber merchants will find out what we're going to do with it and might raise the price."

"Hmm, smart. I estimate that we should buy 5000 units of rubber in the first batch, and then we should keep an eye out for rubber seeds. That way, we won't have any more costs."

Mo Ming became more and more excited as he spoke.

"Okay, go check on short video platforms to see if they sell them. I'll make these 100 first, and then I'll take Xiao Jin outside to look around."

Song Yufei nodded heavily, "Then I'll mainly use the 700 coins we have on hand. If that's not enough, we'll exchange them for more redwood and oak."

"Okay, just do it your way."

......

One hundred condoms were quickly made and Mo Ming handed them to Song Yufei. When she received the condoms, the girl's face turned red without her realizing it.

Then Mo Ming took Xiao Jin and Xiong Da and Xiong Er out the door. Before leaving, he specifically instructed the Golden Horned Longhorn Beetle family and the five giant man-eating flowers to protect Song Yufei's safety.

The pets also respond very actively to their owner's commands.

Once outside, Mo Ming headed north into the forest. The great lake was to the east of the sanctuary, and without absolute certainty, Mo Ming didn't want to disturb the mysterious beast.

Otherwise, it would probably have noticed Xiao Jin the moment it entered its territory.

Beep beep!

Before he had taken more than a few steps, Mo Ming's bracelet popped up a message notification.

Lu Mingyu: Hello, boss, how much sulfur do you want?

Upon seeing the message, Mo Ming was overjoyed. Could it be that he really had it?

Mo Ming: I'll take as many as you have!

Lu Mingyu: To be honest, I have a lot of sulfur here, but I estimate you won't need that much.

Mo Ming: Huh? As far as I know, sulfur should only be found near volcanoes, right? Aren't you by the sea? Did you move?

Lu Mingyu: I haven't moved, but I suspect there's a volcano beneath my island, and I estimate it's about to erupt.

Mo Ming: Holy crap! Are you serious?

Lu Mingyu: I can find a lot of sulfur here every now and then, and the amount is increasing.

Mo Ming: So... you haven't considered moving?

Lu Mingyu: I'm planning to move, but there are still some resources here, and I'm a little reluctant to leave. I want to mine a little more.

Mo Ming: Okay, but I think you'd better move as soon as possible. Your life is the most important thing.

Lu Mingyu: Yes, I will.

Mo Ming: Let's get back to business. How do you want to sell the sulfur?

Lu Mingyu: Boss, I can collect as much sulfur as possible for you before I leave here. As for the quantity, you definitely won't be disappointed.

Lu Mingyu: Forget about the price, I just hope you can do me a favor.

Mo Ming: Tell me what you're busy with first?

Lu Mingyu: Boss, would it be convenient to talk via video? You can explain things more clearly in a video call.

Mo Ming: Okay!

Mo Ming found a tree, sat down beside it, and positioned himself so that the direction of the shelter wouldn't be visible in the video.

When the video call connected, it was the first time Mo Ming had met this "Coconut Bro" who had left a fairly good impression on him.

Lu Mingyu has a slightly dark complexion, but his features are upright. He has short, choppy hair and a hint of heroic spirit between his brows, making him look somewhat like a soldier. He has a sunny smile.

It's often said that first impressions are very important, and that's not just empty talk.

The moment Mo Ming saw Lu Mingyu, he felt that Lu Mingyu was a decent person and not someone with malicious intentions.

Of course, Mo Ming wouldn't be so naive as to judge a person's character solely based on their outward appearance.

"Hello, big boss, I am Lu Mingyu."

"Hello, hello, please don't call me 'boss' anymore. I only got an SSS rank by luck before. Just call me by my name."

"Okay, Boss Mo Ming."

"..."

Tell me about your situation, and see if there's anything I can help you with.
