Chapter 18: Information From The Profession
Han Jiang Gu Ying sent a message, “Do you need the vehicle solid wood interior card scroll I quoted before?”
This was the highest quoted price, Yu Jiang decisively agreed, “The interior card can increase wealth value once made, and it can also be sold. Don’t you need it yourself?”
“Whether it looks good or not doesn’t matter to me. Solid wood interior is useless without sufficient vehicle level. Let’s trade. If you have healing potion in the future, can you give me one? I can trade with level 3 component card. I have both electric vehicle and gasoline vehicle ones.”
He asked because he saw The King Called Me to Patrol the Mountain also collecting scrolls. He really didn’t have much energy to haggle over the price.
“I can give it to you now. Electric vehicle component card.” Yu Jiang initiated the trade.
She was short on component cards for upgrading, and all other materials were ready.
Three healing potions. Yu Jiang said one-for-one trade, but unexpectedly the other party directly gave her 4 electric vehicle level 3 component cards.
“Seeing you’re a straightforward person too, I’ll give you the remaining one. Anyway, I’m not using electric vehicle, it’s just taking up space.”
This person is a survival game big shot!
Yu Jiang added them as a friend along the way. Now she had 7 in total, still short of 3.
She decided to upgrade the vehicle to level 3, then modify the interior layout.
Vehicle upgrades get slower the higher they go.
During the transition period, just endure it. No need to worry too much.
Yu Jiang sorted and organized supplies by category. Messages on the public screen were scrolling fast.
Player 857: [Big shot who got the game area top ten reward, can you come out and share the walkthrough? What’s in the rewards? Little transparent struggling to survive also wants to see.]
Lone Wolf 2009: [Top ten probably all have professions or skills? How exactly to obtain professions and skills?]
188 Male College Student: [188 Male College Student here begging for walkthrough! No, begging for a carry.]
Hand Holding Cleaver Chopping Wire: [Need corresponding achievement. I feel it’s very random. You might not believe it, but I picked up two axes on the road, found a stone to sharpen them, and got the ‘Axe Door’ achievement.]
Han Jiang Gu Ying: [That’s how it is. I know a bit about cars, so I dismantled a few roadside scrap cars.]
188 Male College Student: [??? So it’s all about luck, plus real-life skills from before? But I’m a liberal arts student. Done for!]
Pure Love Cockroach Spicy Spicy: [Art student here, what do I say? Entered the game holding a suona. Now playing a tune at the heavy rain and monsters, feeling utterly desolate inside.]
WithWind220: [Survival game meds are too important. I think we shouldn’t be too selfish and should tell everyone the drug manufacturing method. So many people can only wait to die without meds, especially now with the rain getting heavier and bad weather.]
Having experienced the instance, the existence of skills and professions was no longer a secret.
Yu Jiang sent a message, [Pick puffball mushrooms. Picked a few and got the achievement. Same channel doesn’t necessarily give the same achievement.]
She really wasn’t worried about others knowing.
Getting the achievement also has a condition: being the first to complete the gathering medicinal herbs hidden quest, possibly plus having low combat stats.
Hand Holding Cleaver Chopping Wire: [I told another player to pick up discarded knives, sharpened them but no achievement. Probably related to location and time too. Resource boxes can also yield profession-related crafting scrolls.]
Sicily: [No wonder I gathered some mushrooms today but didn’t get the related achievement. Sad wuwuwu.]
This person quickly sent another one,
[So many big shots on public screen tonight. Chatting with brothers and sisters, too excited! Can I beg for a friend slot?]
Small Town Story: [Beg for a hammer! You haven’t paid back the crystal coins you scammed me out of. Pay up!]
The two started arguing on the public screen again, but this time, several people who previously said they were scammed didn’t show up.
From what was said above, some people’s names were already blacklisted.
Yu Jiang stopped paying attention to the public screen and focused on sorting her own things.
She now had no shortage of food and water.
Compressed biscuit*20, pea can*6. She listed them on the trading platform, keeping 10 compressed biscuits for herself.
All exchanged for cotton and fabric and such manufacturing materials.
For medicinal materials, she had a fixed supplier.
Captain qualification allows opening a friend group chat channel. Yu Jiang invited some friends from the friend list to join.
Collect materials from them, then craft, and return healing potions to them.
Hallucinogenic medicine materials are harder to find, so she hasn’t revealed it to everyone for now.
Only gave it to the monster resource supplier ‘X’.
In the future, to upgrade poison master skill or unlock other skills, Yu Jiang had a feeling it would require killing higher-level poisonous monsters for resources.
This person keeps getting first kills, so attack value won’t be low.
Just like that, Yu Jiang crafted a batch of medicinal herbs, distributed them to several friends, and still had in hand:
Hallucinogenic medicine*2, healing potion*16
Tomorrow she had to gather blue mushrooms. Yu Jiang took out the scavenged sticky note and pen, wrote a memo, and stuck it on the vehicle.
Vehicle upgrade materials category, basically after upgrading level 3 vehicle there would still be half a portion left, also listed on the trading platform.
Scavengers can recycle, materials acquisition is quite fast.
Nighttime wind strengthened. Yu Jiang worried the sky curtain would be blown off at night, so she simply took it down.
Then went to the bathroom placed in the truck bed for a simple wash.
Truck bed space is very small, bathroom also small, feeling like turning around would hit something.
Shower head hot water needs to connect to the battery on the vehicle.
She currently didn’t have conditions for long showers, just a quick rinse to wash off the sticky feeling from the rainy day and the rotten smell from the instance.
For such a clean RV, Yu Jiang specially changed into a clean set of clothing, to be used as pajamas from now on.
Then took out the previously stocked clean four-piece bedding set, laid the bed sheet, placed the cushion and blanket.
The moment she lay down, Yu Jiang let out a relieved sigh.
Self-cleaning rabbit figurine, bought it right.
Although the bathroom came with a small exhaust fan, in this weather it always felt humid, not easy to clean.
Plus manual cleaning wastes water and effort. Tired after a day, who wants to do more work.
Just press the carrot leaf on the rabbit figurine, and all problems solved.
She now had 950 crystal coins total, free stat points 10.
Yu Jiang opened the panel, thinking of the poison master path introduction, which has high attack requirements.
Thought about it and allocated 5 points to attack, 5 to agility.
Adding 5 to defense might not make much difference, lose just one or two HP less per hit. Useless against high attack.
High agility means faster movement, also a way to survive.
Yu Jiang dragged the public screen to one side by the car window, sat cross-legged on the bed without much poise, and brought out the folding crafting bench.
Also sent messages to friends on the friend list. Warm clothing set requires: fabric*5, cotton*10
Each material +2 portions, or trade with gathered plants. Can craft for them, no more than 2 sets, will send within three days.
Crafting increases fatigue value, especially this kind of non-player profession related life crafting, fatigue rises very fast.
Once fatigue value goes up, combat stats will also be affected.
This is also why players sell scrolls.
Not long after Yu Jiang sent the message, she received a reminder.
[‘Pure Love Cockroach Spicy Spicy’ gifted cotton*10, fabric*6, level 2 water collector accessory A1]
[‘Han Jiang Gu Ying’ gifted cotton*12, fabric*7, battery*2. Note: Just want to trade for some cold-resistant stuff. Wait for me to make component card then give to you.]
