Chapter 195: Welcome To The Deep Rainforest
Yu Jiang is currently short 760 Steel Blocks for basic materials, 150 Aluminum Alloys, and one-third of the remaining Composite Materials.
Still short 6 Level 6 Component Cards, originally short 12, but Shi Xu sent her 6.
“In the short term, my Vehicle won’t reach Level 6, so I’ll give them to you first.” That’s what he said.
“Thank you!” Yu Jiang’s tone was full of gratitude.
Besides him, who else would send over the currently scarce Level 6 Component Cards without mentioning conditions first.
Yu Jiang needed Level 6 Component Cards right now, so she didn’t pretend politeness or hesitate before accepting; she accepted them openly, of course, she wouldn’t take them for nothing.
3 Advanced Healing Potions, 5 Popeye’s Spinach, 5 Intermediate Healing Potions, Miasma Dispelling Pills, Insect Bite Cream. She sent some of the medicines she had over, then sent a message,
“When you upgrade your Vehicle to Level 6, I’ll also help find Materials and Component Cards.”
Supplies have different values at different times.
Like now, if she wants to be the first to upgrade her Vehicle to Level 6, it’s definitely the most expensive; just returning 6 Component Cards would be taking advantage of him.
Shi Xu chuckled lightly: “Good.”
Ending the private chat, Yu Jiang continued alchemy, selling medicine; her Trading Platform Homepage was very lively.
There were quite a few people spectating and discussing.
Player 3640: [Big Shots are all collecting Level 6 materials, sigh, we can’t afford Advanced Healing Potions, we want to wait to buy slightly cheaper ones, plus the other medicines, when will Big Shot list them?]
Little Orange Cat: [She’s busy refining Advanced Healing Potions to exchange for supplies to upgrade her own Vehicle, why would she care about your survival.]
Great Luck Chariot God: [If you hadn’t traded so many Medicinal Herbs and Materials with her back then, her progress wouldn’t be this fast; that’s how ungrateful people are.]
Little Orange Cat and Great Luck Chariot God dared to say this because they had been blacklisted early on, and they couldn’t snatch medicine anymore.
No matter how good Miasma Dispelling Pills and Insect Bite Cream were, they couldn’t buy them unless at two or three times the price from someone willing to resell, which was painful to even think about, impossible to do.
Several times they watched Yu Jiang list limited quantities at conscientious prices, others snatching them while they could only glare helplessly, holding in a belly full of anger.
It was just fear of Yu Jiang’s Team that made them occasionally pop up to fan the flames; otherwise, they would have acted long ago.
Yu Jiang couldn’t be bothered to reply; she refined whatever medicine she wanted to refine! Even if they were dissatisfied, they had to endure it.
Other players spoke up, wanting to eat hamburgers:
[You two stop with the passive-aggressive nonsense here; if Big Shot gets unhappy and really doesn’t list medicine, it’ll be your fault!]
word duck: [You weren’t blacklisted yourselves and couldn’t buy or snatch, so you want everyone else unable to buy too; too malicious!]
Marco Radish Prince: [Don’t say it, these flame-fanners don’t seem like good people.]
The two upfront stopped talking; Sicily stared at the Trading Platform, unable to resist clenching his fists.
The King Called Me to Patrol the Mountain’s level was rising too fast.
No one wants to be the eternal second place; not being first, up to now, there are estimated to be no more than 25 Level 4 Alchemists in the Game Area.
Saying Sicily is the second Alchemist isn’t him boasting; his Purification Skill Level is the highest among all Alchemists, and he has already received the Level Up Mission.
Just short some Alchemy Experience; he expects to get the Level 5 Alchemist Achievement around the next Leaderboard release.
But the other party can already proficiently craft Advanced Healing Potions.
It’s not just a small level difference; when he gets the Advanced Healing Potion Crafting Scroll, the other’s refining Success Rate will be much higher than his.
In other words, their Cost will be lower than his, and Advanced Healing Potions won’t be as valuable then.
He wants to gain the maximum profit from alchemy; this damned feeling of being suppressed is really unpleasant.
Sicily looked at Heartless Water in his Friend List and sent him a message,
“In the future, if you deal with The King Called Me to Patrol the Mountain, I can provide assistance; just share some benefits.”
“But say this upfront, I’m just an Alchemist; don’t ask me to charge into battle upfront, I can’t fight, I can only provide skills.”
Sicily wasn’t truly unable to fight at all; he just possibly told Heartless Water that, he wasn’t that stupid; he was still counting on Heartless Water’s Team to charge into battle against The King Called Me to Patrol the Mountain.
With the first Alchemist gone, he would be first.
Half a minute later, Heartless Water replied: “Okay.”
The King Called Me to Patrol the Mountain throws Bats and has Poison Fog Skill to road block; too many tricks. A Thousand Lamps Exhaust Snow takes the group healing route, no Purification Skill.
When Sicily added him, that’s when both sides hit it off.
As for what Sicily said about only providing skills from the back without showing up, Heartless Water didn’t care about his demands; when the time comes, he won’t have a say.
If not for seeing that he also wanted to deal with The King Called Me to Patrol the Mountain and his Purification Skill Level was indeed good, Heartless Water wouldn’t look up to Sicily.

Yu Jiang saw her Fatigue Value was high and the time was about right, so she stopped crafting, set a timer on the Air Conditioning, turned off the lights, and went to sleep.
Her body carried the faint fragrance of Toiletries; lying on the soft Mattress was much more comfortable than sleeping on the Sofa.
A good night’s sleep, directly until past 7 AM the next morning.
At this moment, it was drizzling outside the car window; the fog wasn’t as severe as the previous days, visibility was better.
But when it rains here, more moisture lingers in the Forest, making people’s bodies feel worse; most Poisonous Insects prefer damp and dark environments.
These days Yu Jiang has picked Pyrethrum; she still has 5 unused Pyrethrum flowers on hand.
Later, first check teammates’ Instance Missions, then distribute to them; a Team can have at most one, definitely not enough by number of people.
Today Yu Jiang advanced 80km, still on Personal Road; at this pace, tomorrow evening’s Mission release will land right on Parallel Road, a bit troublesome.
She discussed with teammates in the same situation: teammates with Mileage Exemption Mission Item Cards should use them directly; those with extra Energy who want to push should drive over directly; willing to trade for Mileage Exemption Mission Item Cards is fine too.
Mileage Exemption Missions and Instance Exemption Missions are both Leave Pass Item Cards; the former isn’t hard to buy, the latter is harder.
Yu Jiang collected Mileage Exemption Mission Item Cards; she does direct alchemy, and exploring Forests on both sides of Personal Road yields more revenue, no need to waste Energy.
By 8 PM on Survival Time Day 54, Yu Jiang was eating a single-person small hot pot mushroom clear soup when the Instance Mission arrived.
[Dear Survivors, long time no see! The Instance Mission everyone’s been anticipating is here! Still 3 options for everyone to choose from, time: 30 minutes.
Players who don’t choose an Instance Mission and don’t have Mission exemption Item Cards will receive Punishment oh~]
Yu Jiang looked at her options.
The first was the Three-star medium difficulty Instance marked with a red exclamation point, 3-5 people team up.
[Instance Name: Escape the Rainforest
Number of People: 15
Instance Description: Welcome to the Deep Rainforest, where dangers lurk everywhere; it used to be a forbidden zone for humans. Of course, for skilled Survivors, danger and opportunity always go hand in hand.
You need to find a way out within the Time Limit and return to the Road. (Instance Difficulty is high, choose carefully.)]
