Thousands of private messages continue to flood into Liao Fan’s mailbox.
Liao Fan tried to filter through the messages and only looked for valuable information.
Everyone wanted to live.
They were trying their best to survive.
“Brother Liao Fan, I’m Zhu Mingzhang. I have 200 units of coal. Can I trade them for two liters of water?”
“I’ll pay you one hundred million! Just give me a liter of water and I’ll transfer the money to you once I’ve cleared this game!”
“Brother Liao Fan, did you encounter any danger in the fog? Where can I find a water source? Please let me know. Thank you!”
“That guy called Meng Fei is a phony. He only dared to explore two steps away from his cottage. He’s nothing compared to you, Brother Liao Fan. Can I be your underling?”
…
Among all the private messages, Liao Fan was only interested in two.
One was to exchange two hundred units of coal for two liters of water.
According to his own pricing, he was willing to trade two hundred milliliters of water for ten units of coal.
Two hundred units of coal would require six liters of water.
This person who had proposed the trade was obviously lacking water. That was why he lowered the price.
What surprised Liao Fan was that the other party had two hundred units of coal.
After all, coals were very rare.
Furthermore, it was almost impossible to obtain two hundred units.
Although coal was considered a basic resource, they were still uncommon!
‘He must have discovered a mining area!’
Liao Fan proceeded to trade two liters of water for two hundred units of coal.
Two liters of water was not a lot for him.
This trade would definitely fulfill his current needs!
As for the second message that caught Liao Fan’s attention, it was rather interesting.
“Brother Liao Fan, do you want some wild boar meat? I’ll trade one pound of meat for one liter of water!”
Liao Fan’s expression darkened!
The other party did not lack food at all!
Moreover, this message revealed a very crucial piece of information.
There were actually wild boars in this world!
‘Was there a wild boar in the fog?
‘If the monsters in the fog were only wild boars, then it’s not scary at all.’
A singular person might not be able to deal with a wild boar.
However, three men with stone axes would surely be enough.
Despite that, Liao Fan quickly dismissed his theory.
The wild boars might not be the monsters in the fog, but they were certainly out there!
In fact, the most important monster was the one that destroyed his mark!
When Liao Fan was in the fog, he could feel a pair of eyes observing him.
The feeling of being watched made him anxious.
It was definitely not a wild boar!
…
The thousands of messages provided Liao Fan with some valuable clues.
After a few hours of research, some things had become clear.
First of all, this game was called ‘Lord Survival’. Everyone started with two villagers, so it was very difficult for them to survive.
Secondly, the people who were trapped here all came from different regions. Some were even from different countries. However, there were no elderly or children.
Thirdly, about a hundred people had gone out and returned safely. Some managed to bring back resources, while others did not. Most of them remembered the routes they had taken. A few of them used the same method as Liao Fan, which was to draw lines on the ground. Despite that, no one had found a water source.
Of course, those who had found a water source would not send a private message to Liao Fan. Therefore, it was still possible that someone had already found a water source.
Lastly, people had described the monsters in different shapes and sizes. One person even said that they heard a woman crying in the fog.
‘What’s actually in the fog?
‘Are there really monsters?
‘Or is it just an illusion?’
In the end, Liao Fan traded a total of three liters of water for two hundred units of coal and wood.
He used the materials to make more torches.
It was all in preparation for the next exploration.
Liao Fan also synthesized a piece of paper. He did not have a pen, so he used the remaining black crystal stone as a replacement.
Then, he began to construct a map.
The center part of the map was his thatched cottage.
By using his memory, he recalled the routes he had explored and drew them on the paper.
Once he was done, Liao Fan folded and put the map in his pocket.
He needed to be very cautious.
One mistake and his next exploration would be fruitless.
Or worse still, it might cost his life.
Therefore, he could not let his routes be tampered with again!
Without a backup plan, Liao Fan would be in a huge predicament!
