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

Mo Ming recounted his conversation with Lin Qingqing to Song Yufei, making her burst into laughter, almost breathless.

"Hahaha, this girl is quite cute!"

"Cute? You call this cute? I'm at my wit's end. You go and negotiate with her! If that doesn't work, see if anyone else is selling it."

"Serves you right. Who told you to send Xiao Jin that message to provoke her? Otherwise, none of this would have happened."

Mo Ming was filled with regret. Why did he have to be so impulsive and upset her? Now he can't even buy fish!

There was no other way but for Song Yufei to take matters into her own hands.

Song Yufei: Qingqing, are you busy?

Lin Qingqing: I'm here! Hey miss, what brings you here? Want some fish again?

Song Yufei: Hehe, umm, I'd like to buy some fish from you to keep as pets.

Lin Qingqing: No problem, I can give you as many as you want. You have no idea, some jerk just asked me to buy fish, it made me so angry.

Song Yufei: Um...you mean...Mo Ming, right?

Lin Qingqing: Huh? You told him! I was wondering how that bastard knew I sold fish.

Lin Qingqing: Wait a minute, are you two very close?

Song Yufei: I signed my partnership agreement with him! Hehe!

Lin Qingqing: Hmph! This scoundrel beat me to it; all the good cabbages have been eaten by pigs. Miss, you have no idea how sad I was when you didn't sign with me.

Song Yufei: Oh, Qingqing, don't be so mushy, let's talk about fish instead!

Lin Qingqing: Okay, for your sake, I'll reluctantly agree.

Song Yufei: That's great, thank you Qingqing.

Lin Qingqing: I'll send you all the information about the fish, you can choose one!

Song Yufei: Okay!

Looking at the information about the fish that Lin Qingqing sent, Mo Ming's lips twitched.

Was it really that easy? How come there's such a huge difference between people?

"Take a look, what kind of fish do you want to raise?"

The pictures and information Lin Qingqing sent were very detailed, and there were quite a few kinds of fish, a total of 12 kinds.

Grass carp, snakehead, silver carp, crucian carp, black carp, redback carp, small whitebait...

Some of them I've never seen before; they must be special products of the Misty World.

Mo Ming couldn't help but exclaim, "This is truly a large-scale fish farmer! How big must her pond be?"

After careful selection, the two finally spent 1000 Ancient Spirit Coins to buy 50 black fish, 20 red-scaled carp, and 30 blue rainbow fish, all of which were of the Emerald Green grade.

Mo Ming's fishpond is not big, only 30 square meters. If you put 100 fish in it, it will be a bit crowded.

At Song Yufei's suggestion, the red-scaled carp and blue-green carp were released into the fishpond, while the 50 black carp were all released into the spiced rice field.

Spiced rice is a type of rice, and it needs water to grow. So Mo Ming created a paddy field for it in the greenhouse.

Now, releasing snakehead fish into paddy fields solves the problem of insufficient fishpond area, and the rice-fish polyculture also imitates the rice-crab farming of the original world.

The activities of snakehead fish loosen the soil in paddy fields, and the insects in the paddy fields become food for snakehead fish. The excrement of snakehead fish becomes the best nutrients for spiced rice.

Fish are raised in the fields, and the fish nourish the fields, ultimately creating a virtuous cycle.

The spiced rice grown in this way will be more nutritious, and the blackfish raised in this way will have more succulent meat.

......

Busy days always fly by, and it's almost time for the Mist Shop to refresh again. This is already the fifth day of the seven-day polar day.

Every day at this time, Mo Ming and Song Yufei would sit around in the bronze hall, enjoying fruit wine and meat, waiting for the items in the Misty Shop to refresh.

time up!

The Mist Shop refreshed its inventory. Now, Mo Ming rarely pays attention to the gray and light yellow zones anymore. The two people's bracelets entered the shop at the same time, one opening the emerald green zone interface and the other opening the dark blue zone interface.

This way, you can keep track of the refresh status of all valuable items immediately.

Today, the Deep Blue Zone still features three items simultaneously, all of which can be purchased through auction.

However, the items available today failed to pique the interest of Mo Ming and Song Yufei. The three items were a black and gold armor, demon gauntlets, and a black and gold helmet.

They were all equipment.

Mo Ming had actually considered buying one or two items, but when he saw that the purchase method was auction, he immediately gave up the idea.

The starting price was already quite high, and if the auction went on, the final price would be ridiculously high. Mo Ming still didn't want to spend so much money on this.

However, they faltered in the deep blue zone but triumphed in the emerald green zone.

Mo Ming actually found a shelter upgrade scroll in the Green Zone.

The above shows:

[Shelter Upgrade Scroll: Emerald Grade]

Description: An essential item for upgrading your shelter to level 4!

Quantity: 8/10

Price: 3000 Ancient Coins

Without the slightest hesitation, Mo Ming decisively purchased a card, thus fulfilling all the conditions for the special upgrade of Mo Ming's Shelter, which could be upgraded at any time.

Song Yufei, on the other hand, is still missing a deep blue-level pet.

In fact, the two had discussed it long ago. If they didn't get the shelter upgrade scroll in the end, they would use Song Yufei's first and upgrade Mo Ming to level 4 first.

In this way, at least one of the two will be at level 4, giving them an advantage in the evaluation.

What's more, the mysterious shelter is a special upgrade! That's definitely a plus.

It's worth noting that Mo Ming initially relied on this special upgrade technique to squeeze into the top 10000 in the first evaluation, despite being one level behind, and earned the SSS title.

With the merchandise matter settled, the two prepared to rest.

The current time is equivalent to the middle of the night in normal times. Although it is the polar day and there is no darkness, sleep is still needed to maintain energy.

With their eyelids already starting to droop, the two decided to go to sleep first and then consider upgrading the shelter after they woke up.

Song Yufei teleported back to her shelter, while Mo Ming returned to his bedroom on the second floor.

Nowadays, teleportation array orbs are as common as hairs on a cow. Not to mention, the Mist Shop's Emerald Zone refreshes this item almost every day, and the price is not expensive, only 100 Ancient Spirit Coins.

The two of them had stockpiled 20 bills, 10 of which they each carried with them for backup. They would buy more when they ran out, since they weren't short of money anyway.

"Ouch!"

As soon as Mo Ming lay down on the bed, a deafening roar rang out, followed by a loud eagle's cry that echoed through the sky.

Mo Ming's heart skipped a beat; something was wrong!

I hurriedly dressed and ran downstairs to the radar monitoring station. What I saw shocked me.

Near the west side of the shelter, two dark blue dots almost overlap.

One should be Xiao Jin, then the other...?

Is that ferocious beast near the big lake east of the shelter coming?

Mo Ming quickly denied this claim. The ferocious beast in the lake was almost certainly an amphibian, and what Mo Ming had just heard was clearly the roar of a tiger.

Furthermore, if they really came from the other side of the Great Lake and wanted to reach the western part of the shelter, they would have to pass through Xiao Jin's reconnaissance range.

There's no reason why Xiao Jin wouldn't notice a deep blue-level ferocious beast entering its territory.

Therefore, Mo Ming could conclude that it must be a foreign deep blue-level ferocious beast.

Wait, a tiger's roar?

Could it be... that it... has returned?
