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

This morning.

Mo Ming had just gotten up and arrived at the bronze hall when he found some food already laid out on the table: spiced rice porridge and some roasted meat.

"You made all of these stones?"

"Yes, yesterday when you showed me around the shelter, I noticed the food in the kitchen, so I thought I'd get up early to make you breakfast."

Mo Ming nodded slightly, but he was quite satisfied. She knew how to handle things!

"Let's eat together. After we finish, let's go check out the Golden Sword Bamboo Forest to see if there are any wild animals."

"Okay, thanks boss, I'll get the mission done!"

While eating breakfast, Mo Ming browsed the shops, which had increased by more than a dozen compared to before.

Moreover, an interesting phenomenon has emerged: the names of the first five stores are all numbered.

【Shop No. 1】

Shop No. 2

Shop No. 3

Shop No. 4

Shop No. 5

And then there are all sorts of names, like "Brother Yuan's Armory" and "Da Ming Daily Necessities"...

Does this mean that the shops that appear later can all have their own custom names?

Mo Ming wanted to cry. The first shop he acquired didn't even give him the chance to buy a name change card, but the shops he acquired later allowed him to change his name at will. Where could he go to complain?

He clicked on a shop called "Rice Shop" to see what kinds of rice they sold, so that Mo Ming could have a reference. If it sold well, he also planned to put a batch on the shelves to try it out.

Now all his stalls in the gray and white and light yellow sections have been turned into advertising spaces, displaying information about his high-quality products, including various flavors of fruit wine, various fruits and vegetables, etc., with a note to add him as a friend to purchase.

His spiced rice is now yielding a good harvest, thanks to the catalytic effect of fertilizer. On average, a batch can be harvested every 5 days, and each batch can be processed into about 300 catties.

However, the moment he opened the store, Mo Ming was dumbfounded.

Just like him, every district was plastered with advertisements, and they were all... all kinds of transportation!?

Wheelbarrows, two-wheeled carts, rafts, small wooden boats, small kayaks, large kayaks, four-wheeled carriages...

A small rice shop that doesn't sell rice, but vehicles? What kind of logic is that?

Also, where did he get all these things? How could he possibly have so many vehicle blueprints?

Is he cheating?!

Mo Ming immediately added the person as a friend, not to inquire about the blueprints, but to buy a large inflatable boat so that he wouldn't have to bother Meng Ling so often when crossing the river.

Mo Ming: Hello, I'd like to buy a large kayak. What's the price?

Mo Ming received a reply very quickly.

Wang Chen: A large kayak costs 1000 Gulling coins.

I'm speechless. 1000? Are you robbing me?

Mo Ming: Can you make it cheaper?

Wang Chen: How much cheaper do you want?

Mo Ming: 500?

Wang Chen: Brother, 500 isn't even enough to cover my costs.

Mo Ming: Come on! If you can mass-produce this, you must have design blueprints. The cost is just the manufacturing materials, which are nothing more than rubber, iron, and other common materials. How could it cost 500 Ancient Spirit Coins?

Mo Ming: If you sell this to me for 1000, you'll still make at least 800 profit.

Wang Chen: Look at what you're saying... Hehe, you've really cut the price too drastically, by half? You should add a little something extra.

Mo Ming: 500 is quite a lot. If you don't sell it, I'll go look elsewhere.

Wang Chen: Okay, okay, I'll take the loss, deal!

Wang Chen: I need time to process this; the transaction will take place in ten minutes.

Mo Ming: Okay!

Ten minutes later, Mo Ming walked out of the shelter. With the transaction completed, a beautifully crafted kayak appeared in Mo Ming's yard.

The kayak is 5 meters long, 3 meters wide, and half a meter high, which is quite large.

"Big Bear!"

Mo Ming shouted towards the Beast King's Palace, and then a "little bear" that was more than half a person's height waddled out and affectionately rubbed against Mo Ming's thigh.

He patted Xiong Da's head and smiled, "Alright, alright, help carry this kayak into the moat."

Big Bear nodded, then grew larger at a speed visible to the naked eye, grabbed the dinghy with one hand, and strode out of the yard.

"Be careful, don't break it..." Mo Ming shouted.

Although Shi Tou had already met Xiong Da yesterday under Mo Ming's guidance, he never imagined that this seemingly cute but fierce little bear could transform into such a super ferocious beast in the blink of an eye.

Stone's mouth was wide open, big enough to fit an egg.

Seeing this, Mo Ming gently patted his shoulder and said, "Take your time to get used to it! Haha..."

......

Suddenly, a loud eagle's cry echoed through the sky.

Mo Ming's nerves immediately tightened; every time Xiao Jin made such a sound, it meant that something was wrong.

When Xiao Jin landed on the ground, Mo Ming immediately lay down on its back, hugged its neck, and went up into the sky with Xiao Jin.

After flying westward for about twenty kilometers, Xiao Jin began to circle in the air, telling Mo Ming that something unusual was below.

However, his eyesight was far inferior to Xiao Jin's, so he could only help Xiao Jin descend.

When they were tens of meters above the ground, Mo Ming finally saw the abnormality that Xiao Jin had mentioned.

"This... a tornado?"

Mo Ming frowned and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

It's not that we haven't considered the possibility of super-large typhoons like tornadoes occurring during typhoon season.

But... this is only the early stage of a typhoon, how come there are already tornadoes?

The tornado was already over five meters high and was still expanding. Some trees and rocks could be vaguely seen in the vortex.

Tornadoes are products of extremely strong convection, usually accompanied by convective complexes or supercells, and are rapidly rotating cyclones formed under strong convective cumulonimbus clouds.

Its generation conditions include near-surface wind shear and significant vertical motion, as well as unstable energy.

Thunderstorms are an ideal environment that meets the above conditions and are the main cause of tornadoes.

The thought sent chills down Mo Ming's spine. Tornadoes alone would be enough to give him a hard time; his windbreaks were practically useless against them.

The destructive power of a tornado can even be amplified when trees are caught inside it.

If thunderstorms are added to the mix, it will only make matters worse.

Lightning, torrential rain, hail...

A variety of natural disasters will also follow.

Generally speaking, the path of a tornado is mostly a straight line.

Mo Ming's shelter happened to be located on his route.

Although the growth rate of this tornado is still unclear, the distance between this place and the shelter is about 20 kilometers, which is probably enough for it to grow into a "beast" and tear apart the defenses of the Momin Shelter.

At this point, there is no good way to stop its enhancement.

Since we cannot weaken its power, we must try to find a way to disrupt its path.

If there were a way to force it to change its course, that would be an effective countermeasure.

Unless a mountain suddenly appears out of nowhere to block it and force it to go around it, otherwise...

Wait, out of thin air? Blocked?

Mo Ming suddenly beamed with joy. How could I have forgotten about it...?
