Chapter 310: Doubt
Yu Jiang switched to the team and friend channels, telling everyone about exchanging scrap steel and iron for supplies.
“As for the exchange ratio, we’ll only know once we get there. The message I received says it’s by the jin. If conditions allow, starting tomorrow everyone can pick up more scrap, find me to craft shovels, just need to add some materials for labor cost.”
Team is 10%, friends 20%, tomorrow’s external sale will be 40%.
This way, attribute shovels can be crafted very soon!
In the team and friend channels, everyone naturally wouldn’t doubt the authenticity of Yu Jiang’s message. Everyone had iron blocks and wooden sticks, and within less than 5 minutes, they all sent over the materials.
Yu Jiang alone couldn’t craft many shovels in a day. Sixth Brother Blacksmith could too, and even more professionally. He and Yu Jiang hit it off immediately, and the production chain was set up just like that.
Before sleeping, Yu Jiang crafted 50 shovels, and only one had attributes: Attack +10, Durability +50%.
Another day relying on the guaranteed reward.
But she sent out the ones without attributes, and kept the ones with attributes for herself hehehe.
Yu Jiang stored the shovels in the grids, turned off the light, and went to rest.
The road at night was extremely quiet, with only a few reflective signs left amid a pitch-black expanse.
It seemed like stepping off the road would plunge a person into an endless dark abyss.
That was how it was in Yu Jiang’s dream, but she jolted awake the instant she fell.
Opening her eyes again, it was already 5 a.m., dawn just breaking, the sofa bed with the sleeping mat was hot, and beside it was a charging small fan.
Also scavenged, repaired by the repairman to work normally.
Advantage: low power consumption. Disadvantage: weak airflow.
The Four-leaf Clover fan can’t work long-term; on setting 1, it stops after over 6 hours, and sunlight cards don’t help.
Yu Jiang’s back was covered in sweat. She flipped over, found a spot not yet contaminated by body heat that was slightly cooler, and continued catching up on sleep.
Once the nighttime safe time settlement was done, she finally got up with messy hair.
Lying flat is really comfortable; she wouldn’t have gotten up even a minute earlier.
Yu Jiang first opened the translucent screen curtain, scanned around outside, nothing happened.
Companions also sent messages in the team-up one by one, saying everything was normal on their end.
Today’s temperature is 35-40.
Not bad; previously at work, she had to go out in 40-degree high temperature without even high temperature subsidies.
Yu Jiang washed her face with clean water, and her head cleared up a lot.
On the wasteland road, the domestic water from the water collector manufacturing was even murkier than before; settling and homemade filtration device was the lowest-cost method.
Better ones equipped with filters; Yu Jiang’s RV had a full set of advanced filtration and purification devices, so domestic water could be drunk directly without much issue, and power consumption was handled by solar power generation.
Thinking of this, she felt immensely grateful that yesterday when surrounded by monsters, the solar panels had already been retracted via the light screen operation.
Otherwise, the loss wouldn’t just be the vehicle, but also the now frighteningly expensive solar panels.
This was Yu Jiang’s habit: retract the photovoltaic panels at sunset, deploy them again the next morning.
Shi Xu’s off-road RV also handled its solar panels this way.
Retractable and deployable solar panels were more expensive than fixed ones on the roof, but safer.
For today’s breakfast, Yu Jiang chose scallion oil pancakes and pre-chilled instant soy milk.
After eating, she first used a repair card to reduce the RV’s wear and tear, then took scavenged rags and wooden sticks from the external storage box to wipe the dust off the windshield and rearview mirror.
Once the continuous damage effect from the Poison King Zombie’s attack saliva on the vehicle ended, the fluorescent thick liquid would also disappear; it was a skill, not sticking to the vehicle forever.
After tidying up, she just waited for the scrap yard message to be announced, sell shovels, then set off to scavenge.
On the public screen, people were much more active than usual; previously at this time, hardly anyone spoke.
It started with someone showing off their luxurious breakfast, and then that person never appeared again.
A Zhen Loves A Qiang: [Big Shot good morning, when will you share the way to earn supplies 『Anticipation』]
Survival Without Going Crazy: [Don’t know if Big Shot is up yet.]
Quanda Zhen Guanxi: [You still don’t get how intense Big Shot is; she took down two challenge instances in one day, plus one solo. Just wait patiently.]
Sicily: [『Sitting and waiting』]
Thirteen Yao: [Woke up at 4:50 in such hot weather, really couldn’t sleep, no fan, can’t afford to run the air conditioning.]
Rain Has Nothing to Do with You: [Hope I can follow Big Shot to get supplies; yesterday I was in despair, seeing Big Shot say there’s a way felt like salvation.]
Yu Jiang wore a light, breathable strap top, then a light-colored long-sleeved sun protection clothing, and sat in the driver’s seat.
Posted a message on the public screen:
[Over 200 km ahead, there’s a service area, it’s a scrap yard, can exchange scrap steel and iron for supplies, exchange ratio unknown, need to pick up 200 jin of scrap to enter.]
[Lots of scrap on the road, those short on tools can buy from Purple Butt Can Do It, there are brand new shovels at favorable prices.]
[Saying this upfront: lots of scrap is stuck in soil, trash piles, both sides of the road—everyone knows the situation. Scavenging might encounter monster sneak attacks too; method is here, go or not is up to you.]
The implication: don’t come crying to her if bitten by monsters later.
Ye Wuyou: [I knew it, who would share a way to earn supplies? Turns out it’s to sell shovels, make us pick trash. Waited all night in anticipation, thought it was something good.]
A Thousand Lamps Exhaust Snow: [200 jin of scrap steel and iron isn’t easy to pick, especially in this heat outside. If not for this method, probably no one would buy shovels.]
Lonely Qingchuan: [Big Shot, how do you drive a luxury RV, blasting air conditioning, sipping iced beverages, while making others pick scrap and selling shovels to earn our money.]
Oath: [Exactly, thought it was some method, just pick trash in 40-degree high temperature? If heatstroke hits, still gotta buy summer cooling powder from you, too ruthless.]
He and 9687, plus a few others, had been blocked last night. Even after groveling, that woman wouldn’t unblock them. Now with nothing to lose, he had no scruples.
Seeing the successive sarcastic messages, quite a few were stirred up, suspecting if The King Called Me to Patrol the Mountain had ulterior motives, using everyone as tool people and consumables. Oath felt much better.
Ye Wuyou was still saying: [Need to pick up 200 jin of scrap to enter—where’d this message come from? So accurate? Big Shot really not grinding some achievement mission?]
Evening Rain: [Remember there was a misfortune card before, where players killed on a road segment had their revenue go to the user.]
Fireworks Year After Year: [Real or fake? There’s such a prop card?]
Distant Mountain Mist: [Was gonna buy a shovel to try; now hearing you say needing just iron block and wooden stick for processing, I’m a bit scared.]
Someone stirred the rhythm, causing voices of doubt and hesitation, while others chose to believe Yu Jiang.
Big Hammer 80: [I believe Big Shot’s message, shovel bought. Can understand not believing the message’s authenticity, but thinking providing info = giving you free supplies is wishful thinking.
200 jin of scrap steel and iron sounds like a lot, but this stuff is heavy, actually not hard to pick up.]
For players with space grids and good physical fitness, is picking 200 jin of scrap hard?
Better than no supplies, vehicle breaking down, starving or dying of thirst on the road.
Wasteland road picture is being generated~ Will post when ready.
