The Great Flood of the End of Time: Female Neighbor Comes to Borrow Food

Chapter 83: Earning Points
In room 3201, Liang Yuan was holding a computer and checking it carefully.

The computer definitely has no internet connection, as it contains the electronic data that Liang Yuan had saved in advance.

What he is watching now is a video on how to make a raft.

Originally he wanted to build a ship, but the workload and technical difficulty of shipbuilding were beyond his ability to accomplish at his current level.

So he could only settle for the next best thing and make a raft.

"The size of the raft is important if you want to bring other people with you, and there has to be space to store supplies, so the raft can't be too small."

"But the wood we can find in the building right now is too small and too broken. Only the cabinet doors and door panels are in good shape."

Liang Yuan thought about it and gradually came up with a plan.

"First, use a large number of wooden doors and cabinet door panels to nail together to create a stable chassis."

"It is best to use a metal frame as the bottom layer. The choice of metal frame is... curtain rack, storage rack..."

He was making a draft on some rough paper, roughly writing down the materials he had prepared.

In addition, the power system also needs to be planned. At present, all he can think of is to use batteries to provide power.

As for underwater propellers, he plans to look for fans or something like that and dismantle them to make propellers to reduce manual drive.

The canvas for the raft is simple. Just find some raincoats, windbreakers, curtains, etc. and simply sew them.

"Tuk tuk tuk..."

As I was thinking, there was a knock on the door.

Liang Yuan looked up and saw Yang Mei standing at the door. She said happily, "Brother, Song Wen is here. She said she wants to exchange fish for rice."

Liang Yuan was surprised and asked, "Oh? Did she catch a fish?"

Yang Mei smiled and said, "I took a look, there are more than ten of them."

Liang Yuan couldn't help but laugh and said, "Okay, I'll go take a look."

He got up and walked into the living room, and saw Song Wen standing there nervously.

Her face was dirty, but it couldn't hide her beautiful big eyes.

At this moment, her eyes were full of excitement and excitement. When she saw Liang Yuan, she immediately said, "Brother Liang Yuan, look, these are the fish I caught, as well as crabs and shells."

Liang Yuan was stunned and couldn't help but look at the shells and crabs on the ground, quite surprised.

"Even crabs and shells?"

He immediately realized that the area of ​​seawater backflow was getting larger and larger, and a large number of marine life were invading the original land.

This is not good news.

The richer the aquatic resources, the more dangerous this place is.

His expression was slightly gloomy as he looked at the fish. There were thirteen in total, of varying sizes.

The big ones are about half a meter long, and the small ones are only the size of a palm.

Liang Yuan thought for a moment and said, "That's amazing. Do you know how it was changed?"

"Sister Mei told me."

Liang Yuan nodded: "Okay, what do you want to change?"

Song Wen immediately said, "I want to exchange all the fish for snacks, mainly meat. How do I exchange the two crabs and shells?"

Liang Yuan was a little surprised: "Change them all into snacks? Snacks don't stop hunger."

Song Wen smiled and said, "I left a fish at home. We can eat fish tonight and won't be hungry."

Liang Yuan nodded: "Okay, as for the crab, I need to kill one first and take a look. And I also need to open the shell to take a look. Is that okay?"

Song Wen was puzzled, not knowing what Liang Yuan was looking at, but she nodded: "It's okay, just take a look."

Liang Yuan didn't say much. He found a crowbar, pointed it at the crab's heart, and with a "pop", he thrust it directly into it.

After a while, the ferocious crab stopped moving.

"Ding, you killed a mutant creature and earned 31 points."

Liang Yuan suddenly raised his eyebrows.

"31 points? The crab's mutation level is so much higher than the fish's?"

You know, an ordinary mutant sardine only has seven or eight points.

Liang Yuan immediately stabbed another crab to death.

"Ding, you killed a mutant creature and earned 27 points."

Liang Yuan was moved: "This crab is not that big, about the same size as a normal brown crab, and it actually has such a high score."

"Could it be that crustaceans have a higher degree of mutation than fish?"

Liang Yuan seemed to be thinking about something, and then looked at the shell again.

This shell is about the size of an elementary school student's schoolbag. It is bluish-gray in color and looks like stone.

Liang Yuan used a kitchen knife to pry open a hole, and then inserted the crowbar.

Even with his strength three times that of an ordinary person, it still took him all his strength to open the shell.

"Bah!"

When the shell was pried open, it made a crisp sound and revealed a large piece of white meat inside, as white as preserved egg and milk.

Liang Yuan poked inside with the crowbar, and soon a crack suddenly appeared inside the shell.

In the crack, there is a row of sharp teeth.

With a click, he bit the crowbar directly.

This scene frightened the two girls so much that they stepped back one after another.

Liang Yuan poked hard, and with a "pop", he completely pierced through the shell meat.

"Ding, you killed a mutant creature and earned 41 points!"

"41 points!"

Liang Yuan's eyes suddenly lit up with excitement.

Shell’s points are so high!

"Two crabs, plus this shell, are worth 99 points!"

He almost wanted to laugh out loud, this was such a pleasant surprise.

He thought for a moment and said to the anxious Song Wen, "Two crabs and one shell, I'll convert them into 10 fish for you."

"Counting these 13 fish, there are 23 in total. How about 25?"

He was already taking care of this woman.

Generally speaking, a fish is worth 7 to 8 points.

10 fishes are estimated to be worth 70 to 80 points. Add the 2 free fishes, and it’s about 90 points.

Song Wen did some calculations and found that out of 25 fish, one fish could be exchanged for two bags of snacks.

If we replace all of them with snacks, wouldn’t that mean we need 50 packs of snacks?
She was very happy. Some snacks are very high in calories. Although they cannot satisfy your hunger, they can help you last longer.

Without any hesitation, she said directly: "I will replace them all with snacks."

Yang Mei heard this and couldn't help but said, "Song Wen, think it over. People can't stand it without staple food."

Song Wen smiled and said, "Sister Yangmei, I have thought it through."

Liang Yuan looked at her, wondering what this woman was planning.

But this had nothing to do with him, so he took a bag of snacks from the room.

There are many kinds of snacks, such as melon seeds, bread, milk candy, chicken feet, Wahaha, Wangzai, French fries, etc.

Liang Yuan said directly: "Pick it."

"Okay, okay."

Song Wen looked at so many snacks, drooling, and started to pick them excitedly.

She prioritized meat snacks, such as chicken feet, beef jerky, pork jerky, etc., and then chose high-calorie snacks such as bread, French fries, and sugar.

After picking fifty bags, she put them in her backpack and bowed solemnly to Liang Yuan and Yang Mei again.

"Brother Liang Yuan, Sister Yang Mei, thank you. If it weren't for you, I... I really don't know how I would survive."

Liang Yuan waved his hand and said, "Everyone takes what they need."

She wiped her tears and was about to leave when three more people came to the door.

It was Hu Weimin, Liu Danian and Liu Feifei, who was full of excitement.

Liang Yuan looked at the three people, then looked at the three people carrying buckets, and couldn't help laughing: "Come to exchange for food?"

Hu Weimin smiled and said, "Yes, let's change some food."

Liang Yuan nodded: "How many fish?"

"Nineteen, and a few conches. Would you like to take them?"

He caught the conch by accident when he was casting his net.

He was just trying his luck. This thing was not big, not even as big as a fish head, and the meat was also tough. He was not sure whether Liang Yuan would buy it.

Liang Yuan couldn't help but feel moved, and walked over immediately. He didn't look at the fish, but looked at the conches.

These conches are about the size of a child's fist and have yellowish-brown shells.

Liang Yuan reached out and squeezed hard.

Click!

The hard snail shell cracked instantly, and the snail meat inside was immediately squeezed out by him.

"Ding, you killed a mutant creature and earned 29 points."

Liang Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and he nodded silently: "Well, snail meat is rare, so here... five or six conches, count as one fish for you."

"Oh, thank you, thank you Mr. Liang." Hu Weimin burst into laughter, his face full of joy.

I thought this conch was useless and Liang Yuan might not even like to eat it, but I didn’t expect it to be worth a fish. I made a profit.

Liang Yuan was even more delighted, as a crustacean could actually have such a high score.

He smiled and said, "Twenty fish in total, what do you want to exchange for?"

"Noodles, let's change to flour."

Hu Weimin said quickly.

Liu Danian also nodded: "Yes, flour."

Liang Yuan was surprised. Twenty fish only needed four cups of flour. He glanced at the people and said, "Okay, then four cups of flour."

He immediately asked Yangmei to get the flour.

After a while, the two parties completed the transaction and Liang Yuan no longer paid attention to them.

He excitedly brought all the fish to the kitchen and started killing them.

"Ding, you killed a mutant creature and earned 8 points."

"Ding, you killed a mutant creature and earned 7 points."

"Ding, you killed a mutant creature and earned 9 points."

"Ding, you killed a mutant creature and earned 7 points."

……

System prompt sounds came one after another.

Liang Yuan was almost overjoyed. There were 32 mutant fish in total, and each fish could contribute at least 7 points.

By the time he had processed all the fish, he had earned 257 points!
Plus six conches, two crabs, and a shell.

His total score has now reached 526 points!
In just one day, he earned 526 points!
"Hahaha, even if it's a 100-point lottery disk, I can draw five times in a row. I don't believe that I can't draw any free attribute points!"

Liang Yuan laughed in his heart and was full of confidence for the future.

"Brother, there are so many fish, how can we eat them all?"

Yang Mei entered the kitchen, already wearing an apron, and took the initiative to help Liang Yuan clean up the dead fish.

Liang Yuan didn't care at all and smiled: "It's okay, these fish meats can be saved as supplies."

Yang Mei couldn't help but say, "But our refrigerator is so small, it's almost full."

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "I have my own way."

When Yang Mei heard him say that, she didn't ask any more questions and just focused on processing the fish.

Liang Yuan left the kitchen and quickly returned to the bedroom.

“Draw a prize!”

"System, what does the lottery disk with more than 100 points look like?"

"Ding, the next level lottery disk is a 200-point lottery disk, and you can specify the category to draw. Do you want to select it?"

Liang Yuan was stunned for a moment, then he was overjoyed.

He immediately asked, "Can I specify the attribute point category?"

"This category belongs to the designated category of 1,000 points. You don't have enough points to participate in the lottery."

Liang Yuan was stunned and could not help but say, "What category can I specify with 200 points?"

"Fresh food, grains, medicine, family planning and entertainment, home appliances, seafood, digital products, men's clothing, personal hygiene, women's makeup, luggage, shoes and boots..."

The system displays a wide variety of categories.

For a moment, Liang Yuan had the illusion that he was browsing Taobao Mall.

He took a quick look and apart from the medical, weapons, family planning and erotic categories, the others did not attract him at all.

These are all very common things before the end of the world.

Now you have to spend 200 points to draw?
He's crazy?
He asked directly, "No category specified."

Suddenly a prize plate appeared, followed by a wide range of goods.

Liang Yuan glanced around and immediately saw the familiar attribute area. This time, the probability of winning in the attribute area increased a little more than the 100-point plate, close to about 4%.

Liang Yuan looked at the other items again. There were too many of them.

To be honest, if you don’t specify the lottery, you really don’t know what you will win.

At this moment, he really understood how lucky it was that he had drawn the attribute points before, a low-probability event.

He hesitated for a while and simply closed the lottery interface.

"Just wait a little longer. I have accumulated so many points in just one day. Maybe I can reach 1000 points tomorrow. Then I can directly specify to extract attribute points."

Liang Yuan suppressed his desire and did not draw the lottery rashly, choosing to wait.

……

Song Wen stood at the door and waited for a while, carrying a bag full of snacks.

Then Liu Feifei, Liu Danian and Hu Weimin came out.

Their buckets were empty, replaced by bags of flour.

Song Wen was a little surprised when she saw the flour.

Flour cannot be eaten directly, so why do they exchange flour?
Liu Feifei and the other two were slightly stunned when they saw Song Wen and others waiting at the door.

Although the two sides had experienced a day of fishing together, they were not familiar with each other.

We didn't even talk all day today.

Liu Feifei couldn't help but ask: "Are you waiting for us?"

Song Wen quickly said: "Well, yes, I have something to discuss with you."

Liu Feifei couldn't help but feel strange and asked, "What's the matter?"

Liu Danian also glanced at Song Wen and asked, "Miss, what can I do for you?"

Hu Weimin looked at Liu Feifei's bag, his eyes filled with contemplation.

Song Wen said: "Well, I would like to ask the two uncles for help."

Liu Danian was surprised and asked, "What help?"

Hu Weimin also looked at her.

"I just exchanged a lot of snacks from Brother Liang Yuan. I have an idea that I might be able to earn more food, but I don't dare to do it alone, so I want to discuss it with you guys."

Hu Weimin and Liu Danian looked at each other. Hu Weimin became interested and asked, "Oh? What do you think?"

Song Wen looked around and whispered, "I have exchanged a lot of snacks now. I want to take some of them out and go to other apartment buildings to exchange for fish."

"Brother Liang Yuan, you can exchange one fish for two packs of snacks. I can exchange one fish for one pack and make a profit from the difference."

"When the time comes, you can take the fish and come back to Brother Liang Yuan to exchange for other food."

Her words immediately changed the expressions of Hu Weimin and Liu Danian.

Liu Danian couldn't help but glance at Hu Weimin, a smile appeared on his face, and he said: "Old Hu, look, what did I say? There are many smart people these days."

Hu Weimin also shook his head and praised: "Little girl, you are really smart. You were doing business before the flood, right?"

Song Wen looked a little embarrassed and waved her hands quickly: "No, no, I was just a host before."

Hu Weimin was surprised again, but then he said with emotion: "Anchor, you are really courageous and have seized the opportunity of Internet live broadcasting. No wonder you have such a brain."

He looked at Liu Danian and asked, "Old Liu, what do you say?"

Liu Danian thought for a moment and asked, "Little girl, may I ask, which room downstairs do you live in?"

Song Wen quickly said, "3101, I live in room 3101."

"Is the room opposite occupied?"

Song Wen shook her head: "No."

She suddenly understood, looked at the two of them, and said, "Do you want to move up?"

Liu Danian smiled and said, "Yes, to be honest, we do want to move up here. You've seen the situation on the 12th floor. It rained so hard and the water rose very quickly. We live on the 19th floor and we're worried that it will be flooded sooner or later."

"Another point is that we also want to be closer to Mr. Liang and his family. It will be safer where Mr. Liang is."

Song Wen nodded: "That's true. No one lives across from my house. You two can move up. I have no objection. By the way, here is the key to the opposite side."

"The lock on the door opposite was broken before, so I found a new one and replaced it."

She originally wanted to use the house opposite as a kitchen to avoid too much smoke from burning things at home.

So she replaced the lock with a good one.

But now that Liu Danian and his family were going to move in, she immediately took out the key and made friends with the two families.

She knew very well that even if she didn't agree, she would have no choice if the other party insisted on staying.

After all, the house was not hers, and the lock could be easily pried open.

And now that she needs help from someone, she might as well sell herself to the other party in a good way.

Liu Danian suddenly laughed, the two looked at each other, and Hu Weimin immediately took the key.

Then he said, "Thank you, little girl. We will be neighbors next door from now on. It is only natural for us to take care of each other."

"We have actually thought of the method you mentioned to make money."

"But we don't plan to sell snacks. After all, these things can't fill your stomach."

This time it was Song Wen's turn to be surprised. She couldn't help but ask in confusion: "What do you want?"

Liu Feifei had been standing by without saying anything. When she saw the two parties reach a deal, she happily raised the flour and said with a grin, "We want to sell buns!"

"Selling buns?"

Song Wen was shocked and looked stunned.

Liu Feifei smiled and said, "Uncle Hu and Aunt Liu used to run a steamed bun shop. They have a lot of experience and materials in making steamed buns at home."

"In the area of ​​the flood, if Uncle Hu and Aunt Liu hadn't had a lot of supplies at home, my dad and I wouldn't have been able to survive."

"We plan to use this flour to make buns, and then take it to Unit 2 to exchange for fish."

Song Wen couldn't help but look surprised, then smiled bitterly.

"I thought... I was the only one who came up with this idea."

"There are too many smart people, little girl. Our method is based on the fact that they don't know the proportion of the materials traded by Mr. Liang. So we have to hurry up and reap the benefits before the news of Mr. Liang's material trade is leaked out."

"We weren't so lucky later on."

Hu Weimin reminded her, causing Song Wen to nod repeatedly.

Liu Danian said, "We plan to catch some more fish tonight and get some more food. Tomorrow morning, we will go to Unit 2 to try. You can come with us then."

Song Wen immediately expressed her gratitude: "Thank you, thank you both. I will go fishing with you tonight."

Liu Feifei immediately said, "I'll go too, Dad. I caught most of the fish today."

Liu Danian was a little embarrassed, but Hu Weimin laughed and said, "Well, let's go together. Let Xiuqin stay at home to steam buns, and the rest of us will go out and try to catch more fish."

Song Wen couldn't help but laugh. For the first time, she felt the warmth of having found an organization and partners.
