Can you believe it?
Amidst a nationwide boycott, someone was selling elemental crystal fragments.
This was truly unbelievable.
Chen Yu felt this was an absolutely good sign.
Elemental crystal fragments were marked as special trade goods, triggering a notification if such keywords appeared.
The message came from Liu Tiantian.
She was the "Little Tiantian" he always saw in the regional chat, who even urged Chen Yu to remember her.
She succeeded.
Chen Yu did have some impression of her.
Clicking on her avatar, she was indeed a sweet girl with a bit of baby fat, easily scoring over 8.5 points.
She certainly had good interpersonal skills with the opposite sex.
Chen Yu couldn't help but murmur to himself.
Actually, this could be understood. It wasn't about interpersonal skills with the opposite sex, but rather a kind of same-sex repulsion.
Humans generally had a tendency to prefer interacting with the opposite sex.
Same-sex relationships were more often characterized by jealousy.
The resources Chen Yu possessed were definitely enough to make many petty individuals in the region intensely jealous. If they weren't pushed to their limits, they wouldn't bow to Chen Yu.
Frankly speaking, Little Tiantian likely didn't possess many resources herself.
Adhering to the principle of "even a fly's leg is meat,"
Chen Yu: Hello.
Liu Tiantian: Wow, Brother Chen Yu, you replied to me! I'm so happy, *ying ying ying* ٩(๑>◡<๑)۶
Chen Yu: ?
Selling resources is selling resources, why the *ying*?
One punch would cave in her face.
Liu Tiantian: Brother Chen Yu, you need elemental fragments, right? I have elemental crystal fragments. I know you need them, so I'll give them to you.
Liu Tiantian: [Earth Elemental Crystal Fragment]
Chen Yu: You didn't participate in boycotting me?
Liu Tiantian: I would never! Those people who are against Brother Chen Yu are all so bad. Little Tiantian hates them. My cousin is also participating, and I haven't spoken to him in a long time.
Chen Yu: What resources do you need?
Liu Tiantian: I don't lack anything. I just want to talk to you.
What the hell?
What did she think an elemental crystal fragment was worth?
If a big spender sold him 100 elemental crystal fragments, he would still ignore them if he wasn't interested. Did she expect this single fragment to get her half an hour of conversation?
Chen Yu: I welcome you if you're selling resources.
Chen Yu: I don't have time for idle chat.
Liu Tiantian: Wow, Brother Chen Yu is so cool! Not like those shameless dogs who pester me daily asking for my leg photos. Brother Chen Yu, do you want to see them?
Chen Yu: Selling or not?
Chen Yu: If you want to sell resources, I'm buying basic resources now too.
*Ding.*
You have received a gift from Liu Tiantian.
Earth Elemental Crystal Fragment +1.
Iron Block +20.
Liu Tiantian: I don't want any resources, I just want Brother to talk to me.
Chen Yu: (；￣д￣)
Calculating the value of the resources.
20 units of iron could be considered the price of one and a half grilled meats. Chen Yu also needed iron at the moment, so he directly gifted Liu Tiantian two portions of grilled meat.
Adding the elemental fragment, he gifted three portions.
*Ding.*
Gift successful.
Liu Tiantian: Wow, Brother, you're giving me grilled meat. You're so kind.
Chen Yu: You deserve it.
Liu Tiantian: Brother is such a thoughtful person. If Tiantian could gain Brother's affection, Tiantian would be overjoyed.
Liu Tiantian: Brother, do you want to see Tiantian's Pikachu?
ヾ(ﾟдﾟ)ﾉ
Miss, if you talk like that, I won't be sleepy anymore.
Chen Yu: Are you well-endowed?
Liu Tiantian: I'm very well-endowed. I'm 177cm and 49kg. I used to be a model ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
Chen Yu: What size dress do you wear?
Chen Yu: If I find a dress in the caves later, I'll give it to you.
Liu Tiantian: L
Liu Tiantian: Brother, you're so nice. If you give me a dress, then from now on, I'll only wear it for you, hehehe.
Chen Yu: What size shoes do you wear?
Liu Tiantian: 35
Upon receiving this message, a smile appeared in Chen Yu's eyes.
Chen Yu: Beautiful lady, your shoe size is 35. According to the formula (shoe size 35 + 10) / 2 * 7, with a variation of 5cm up or down, you should be between 155 and 160cm.
Chen Yu: You also wear an L size, meaning you must be 130 jin.
Liu Tiantian: None of your business! Did I eat your rice? Why are you so nosy? You're sick!
Chen Yu: Hey, I didn't say I was minding your business.
Chen Yu: I just wanted to say, remember this formula from now on. Maybe it will be helpful if you go fishing again. Come back with resources next time, I'm always buying.
*Ding.*
The other party has added you to their block list.
You motherf***er.
How did I get blocked?
Chen Yu was just thinking of her well-being, not appreciating his good intentions at all.
"Sigh."
He let out a long sigh.
Then, Chen Yu smiled and clicked on the camp.
[Fine Survival Camp: Upgradeable]
[Upgrade Requirements: 25/12 Earth Elemental Crystal Fragments, 15/4 Fire Elemental Crystal Fragments, 27/4 Wind Elemental Crystal Fragments, 30/2 Water Elemental Crystal Fragments, Ethereal Soul 134/20, Wood 409/160, Stone 250/160, Iron Block 85/80, Copper Block 190/40, Silver Block 167/20, Soil 129/120] See book.
Now they were all gathered?
Upgrade.
[Cave Reminder: Fine camp is upgrading, remaining time 44:59:59]
Upgrading from Fine to Rare takes a full two days.
Although the time is long.
Once upgraded to a Rare camp, elemental crystals can be crafted.
Anticipation.
Chen Yu's current reserve of elemental fragments is also insufficient.
He needs to get more.
Wind elemental crystal fragments were still abundant. Chen Yu took advantage of the Fine camp to expand his yard considerably and built 20 more drying racks.
Wind Elemental Crystal Fragment -20, Wood -80, Copper Block -40.
Among the drying racks made, 4 were Fine, 10 Rare, and 6 Perfect.
Chen Yu was very satisfied.
If they weren't all Perfect grade, he felt his life would be saved.
Dividing them into Fine, Rare, and Perfect sections, Chen Yu neatly arranged the drying racks and then placed 80 pieces of meat on them to air dry.
The yard space was still ample.
The yard of a Fine camp is probably nearly 500 square meters. Each drying rack requires 1 square meter of space. Considering congestion and the placement of other facilities, placing 100 drying racks wouldn't be a problem.
He currently only had 50 drying racks in total.
Once the sub-camp space is allocated, he would have another area. Chen Yu could consider turning that into a drying area or a planting area.
He had quite a few seeds on hand, but he hadn't obtained the blueprint for a planting greenhouse yet.
The furnace was also urgently needed.
With the camp about to upgrade to Rare grade.
Elemental crystals could then be synthesized, and metal ingots should also be equipped quickly.
He was still missing the [Legendary Upgrade Blueprint].
Chen Yu still had a long way to go. He had only managed to ensure sufficient food reserves, and his camp facilities were still lacking.
If outsiders knew Chen Yu's thoughts, they would likely spit blood.
Among the current survivors, only a few had decent grade camps, yet Chen Yu was already worrying about materials for upgrading to Legendary.
"Everyone should be rested by now."
Chen Yu checked the time and called out to the several lazily sprawled cats, mice, and lions.
"Move, move. It's time to go explore. Finish exploring quickly so you can get off work. I need to organize our camp when I get back. The camp is too messy now, it's unbearable for me to look at."
The ones on the ground all got up, and Hei Dou's little belly had digested quite a bit.
"Boss, what's the plan for the afternoon?"
"You've all eaten so much, why not digest it a bit." Chen Yu grinned slightly and winked at Hei Dou and the others, "Let's... go catch slaves."
