Chapter 8: The First Transaction

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

“My friends, how old are all of you?” Xu Xin asked after some thought.

His question was quickly drowned among the torrent of chats and he had no choice but to ask a few more times.

“Why? I just graduated from university and have just started working.”

“I’m 18, in my first year. ”

“I’m also studying at university. I’m in my third year!”

“You guys are so young. I’m already 29, almost in my thirties.”

“Brother, let’s shake hands. I’m 28 years old, single since birth. Are there any ladies here?”

“Look at the situation we’re in. Why are you still asking about ladies, you horny-ass?”

“So what if I’m horny? Ladies are a need!”

Xu Xin looked at the age of these people. The youngest was 18 years old, and the oldest was no more than 30 years old. This was the age range. He had also just graduated from college less than a year ago. He had been regulated to another university after his postgraduate entrance examination in his fourth year and chose not to go. After studying for another year, he had just been admitted to the university he wanted and was waiting at home to go to school in September.

“Looks like we’re all between 18 to 30 years old,” Xu Xin muttered to himself.

He didn’t turn off the voice chat function, so the message was sent to the Chat Room.

“That’s true!”

“F*ck, I just turned 18! Is this compensation for me being restricted from playing games before I turn 18? I can only play games for the rest of my life?”

“…Yesterday was my 31st birthday. I almost didn’t have to come. Why wasn’t I born two days earlier …”

After observing for half a day, Xu Xin began to gain an understanding of the kind of people that had arrived in this world as survivors.

First of all, they were between 18 to 30 years old and came from all over the country. They were relatively healthy. According to a few of older survivors who were around 30 years old, they were either not married or married without children.

It seemed that the game had been selective of the survivors. Even if people like them disappeared from the world, it would not affect the lives of others too much. After all, their parents were not old, and they did not have young children who were still dependent.

To be honest, Xu Xin heaved a sigh of relief when he learned all this. He had been quite worried about his relatives getting involved in this survival game these days, but it seemed unlikely at the moment.

Of course, all these were just his guesses. No one knew the real reason behind the game, but he was still more willing to believe that the situation was beneficial to him.

“Guys, what should we do now?”

“Yeah, I’ve been cooped up in the treehouse for the past two days and didn’t dare to go out. I’ve almost finished all my bread and water.”

“Everyone has bread and water, huh? I thought I got it by luck …”

At this time, the frequency of the chats in the Chat Room had gradually decreased. Many had probably left their treehouses and started to work.

Xu Xin wasn’t in a hurry to get to work. He was very efficient. He took out an apple, took a bite, and asked, “Where did you plant your treehouse seed?”

“Where else can I plant? I walked for half a day, and other than trees, I only saw more trees. I could only plant it somewhere randomly.”

“I found a small stream and planted it next to the stream!”

“Really? Doesn’t that mean you have a lot of water resources?”

“My good brother, please give me some water! I’m almost out of my five bottles of water!”

Xu Xin ate his fruit breakfast while observing their reactions. At least for now, these people had only found the stream and not a resource area like him.

“Is everyone’s treehouse a short treehouse?” Someone asked.

“What else? Are there different treehouses?”

“We’re just novices. It’s good enough to have a short treehouse.”

“Mine is also a short treehouse. It’s not even 20 square meters, about the same size as our dormitory. ”

Although the others didn’t have Xu Xin’s Item Identification ability so they couldn’t see the grades of the items, they could still see the names. Just like when he didn’t have this ability, he could also see the introduction of the treehouse seed, but the introduction was very simple.

Suddenly, someone’s words caught his attention.

“Short treehouses? Isn’t it a small treehouse?”

Xu Xin noticed that this person was not anonymous, but had used her own name to send the message.

Li Wenxi, it seemed to be a woman’s name.

However, her post didn’t stand out in the pile of posts and soon disappeared from the page.

It seemed that some were still lucky, but there shouldn’t be anyone else in the 10000 people who found a piece of fertile soil like him. If anyone else could find it by luck, that person wasn’t just lucky, that person could be the main character of a novel.

Unless someone else had the same ability as him.

Exiting the Chat Room, Xu mang clicked into the Trading Platform, which was already filled with transaction requests.

“Wood (white)*20 in exchange for bottled water (green)*1 or other water resources.”

“Stone (white) x 10 in exchange for any food.”

There was no need to look at these transaction requests. White-grade wood and stones were easy to obtain. Seeling these things in exchange for food and water, no one would accept such a transaction request.

Xu Xin shook his head. Just as he was about to close the Trading Platform and leave, he suddenly saw a trading message.

“Iron ore (green) in exchange for any blue-grade material. Please PM for the exact amount.”

“Oh?” Xu Xin’s eyes lit up. Iron ore. He remembered that the grill had required iron (green) as one of its materials. The iron must have been smelted from this iron ore.

On top of that, the other party had asked for blue-grade materials, which meant this person must have used the appraisal desk to identify blue-grade items. Otherwise, they wouldn’t know that the higher grade items were blue grade.

He remembered the appraisal desk.

[Basic Appraisal Desk (white): When materials are placed on it, they will emit a light of the same color as their grade after 10 seconds. It can be used to appraise the grade of the obtained items. Materials required: wood (white)*20, stone (white)*20].

It was useless to him but was the most basic tool that other survivors must have.

Looking at the sender of the transaction, Xu Xin was stunned.

Li Wenxi.

That was the name of the woman who had planted the small treehouse.

She was really lucky. Not only did she grow a small treehouse, but she also found blue-grade resources and iron ore.

Eh? Could this woman be in a resource area similar to his?

Xu Xin immediately sent her a private message.

“Hello, do you have iron ore?”

“Yes, in exchange for blue-grade resources,” The other party replied quickly.

“Do you also have blue-grade resources?” Xu Xin asked.

The reply came after some time, “Yes.”

This girl was quite cold.

“Red berries that can provide night vision for 2 hours, do you want them?” Xu Xin cut to the chase and spoke frankly.

“Yes! How many iron ores do you want in exchange?” The other party replied quickly.

“I want to make a long-term deal with you, but before that, I want to know the function of the blue-grade materials you discovered.”

The other party didn’t waste any words, probably because she knew that blue-grade resources had special effects, so she trusted him more and replied directly, “[Stone (blue): Just using one to make stone tools can greatly increase the efficiency of the tool.]”

“F*ck!” Xu Xin immediately exclaimed. This was a good item! He needed 10 slashes to cut a green-grade tree with the stone axe, and this item could increase his efficiency! The durability of a stone tool was only 200, so cutting less not only improved efficiency, but also allowed the axe to cut more trees.

Moreover, his current stone pick could not mine blue-grade stones at all, which made these stones even more precious.

Because the chat worked through voice input, Xu Xin’s exclamation was directly sent over, making him feel a little awkward.

“…” A string of ellipses was sent over.
