Survival Game: Call Me an Honest Businessman

Chapter 12 Organizing Supplies

Li Zhi was not in a hurry.

Instead, they first hung the fluorescent moss spores in the trading area.

In the pitch black of the sky, in a completely unfamiliar world, even people who aren't afraid of heights would probably need some light to feel safe.

Fluorescent moss spores are absolutely hot sellers!

Sure enough, she received more than a dozen private messages as soon as she posted the ad, all asking about the price.

After pondering for a moment, Li Zhi decided to earn less and sell 1 copper for 1 fluorescent moss spore.

On the first day, everyone was poor, but as a conscientious businessman, I still felt it was time to help others.

One unit of moss fluorescent spores contains 100. Half of them should be sold in three nights. She made a net profit of 3999 copper coins, even though she was robbed and chased repeatedly.

The system automatically notifies you that the transaction is complete.

The transaction revenue figure rose rapidly.

Li Zhi hummed a song as he began to do the accounting and organize his gains for the day:

In the afternoon, a total of 700g of salt and 1 anti-inflammatory pill were sold. 10g of salt was used as a deposit for the Rong tribe, and 150g of salt was exchanged by the orcs for resources such as animal hides, dried meat, and wood.

I earned 270 copper coins from selling salt and 57 copper coins from selling anti-inflammatory drugs.

Adding the 50 deposit, the profit from the Wilderness Market should theoretically be 377 copper.

But she spent 70 copper to buy red ore, 2 copper was stolen by ratmen, 12 copper was spent refreshing 6 times, and 76 copper was spent buying cards, leaving her with only 205 copper in the end.

After calculating the money, Li Zhixian organized the supplies he had bartered with the beastmen:

【木材117捆、肉乾48斤、兽骨9单位、兽皮3张、矿渣50单位、不知名但公平秤表示能吃的野果21个，各种矿石大约五斤……】

These items are worth a total of 75 coppers.

Aside from jerky and timber, which have fixed prices, most of the other items are cobbled together by orcs and added to the insufficient quantities of jerky and timber.

Even so, Li Zhi made a fortune.

The lumber was 1 copper coin per bundle in the deck, but she received 5 copper coins per 10 bundles back.

Compared to other things, it doesn't seem like you're making much money, but timber in the trading area has already been sold for 3 copper a bundle.

Some people are still only focused on the Apocalypse Dust, but many far-sighted people have already started preparing for upgrading their flying boats and collecting various upgrade materials.

Her initial plan was to wait.

If you resell the timber three days later, you'll definitely get a high price for it.

But now that we know the three cards can be combined into one for upgrades, we need to reconsider whether to keep the wood for the upgrade or sell it.

Other items include dried meat and wild fruits.

Although some people found food in the crates, the majority of people didn't have any.

Moreover, proteins and vitamins are essential substances for human survival.

This is not only a basic necessity, but also a luxury that only a small number of people can afford at present.

You can also hold onto it and wait for a better price later.

After sorting through the supplies he had obtained from the market, Li Zhi began sorting through the other supplies.

First and foremost is the most important one: Apocalypse Dust.

She obtained 0.7 units of Apocalypse Dust from the D card, traded for 0.2 units of Apocalypse Dust, and opened a bronze chest containing 0.2 units, bringing her total to 1.1 units of Apocalypse Dust.

The beginner's tasks were completed ahead of schedule.

A major problem on my mind has been resolved.

The remaining categories are energy materials, tools and equipment, food, medicine, and daily necessities.

Energy Materials: [2 units of heat-resistant alloy, 11 units of rubber tree sap, 1 unit of slag, 0.1 unit of red ore, 1 unit of ambergris, 1 fire feather, 1 unit of ironwood, 1 bundle of wood]

Tools and Equipment: [4 Copy Cards, 1 Intermediate Copy Card, 1 Smelting Clan Eliminated Dagger, 1 Iron Pot, 1 Windproof Furnace, 2 Flying Boat Upgrade Blueprints, 1 Toilet Blueprint, 1 Disposable Protective Shield]

Food: [50g salt, 5 jin of rice, 5 packets of sour soup beef instant noodles, 1 can of luncheon meat, 1 packet of unsold hot pot base, 1 tangerine, 1 head of cabbage, 1 packet of cabbage seeds, 1 550ml bottle of cola, 1.5L of water]

Medications: [1 box of 16 anti-inflammatory pills and 1 vial of antibiotics]

Personal items: [2 comforters, 1 pillow, 1 mattress, 1 pair of sneakers]

We've gathered all the materials needed for the eco-conversion furnace to upgrade the airship, and we shouldn't lack food for at least a week.

This slightly alleviated Li Zhi's anxiety about survival.

The good news is that the copy cards that were originally intended to be used to copy Apocalypse Dust can now all be kept.

Li Zhi directly duplicated another "protective shield (one-time talent)".

If she had only one "protective shield," she wouldn't have been in such a passive position when the rats attacked her.

Three copy cards remain...

Li Zhi simply stacked them together.

A look of anticipation on his face.

One second, two seconds, ten seconds passed...

Nothing happened.

Li Zhi frowned and rearranged the three cards.

Four seconds passed.

Nothing happened.

Undeterred, she changed the order again.

……

Li Zhi changed the order and arrangement countless times, even building a triangle, before two dialog boxes popped up:

[Except for Energy Cards and Material Cards, all other cards cannot be upgraded.]

[Copy cards are a special type of card (cannot be upgraded!!!)]

Li Zhi smiled and said, "Why are you still getting emotional?"

Actually, after failing to synthesize the items the first few times, she realized that the game shouldn't have such a big bug that would cause her to get stuck.

But it really doesn't work, so it's a bit disappointing.

Li Zhi probed, "Is it only me who can combine three items to upgrade, or can everyone do it?"

[Except for energy (cards) and materials (cards), all other (cards) cannot be upgraded.]

I saw three bright red circles.

Li Zhi had already fully sensed the impatience of the dog game.

But it also proves that this is a skill unique to her.

Li Zhi stacked three bundles of timber together.

10 seconds.

15 second……

Nothing happened.

Li Zhigang was about to try again when the dialog box popped up again.

[Except for energy (cards) and materials (cards), all other (cards) cannot be upgraded.]

Li Zhi's expression gradually turned serious as he looked at the circled red characters.

All of this timber, except for one bundle which was obtained from the deck, was purchased at the Wilderness Market.

And her most abundant material is wood.

If wood cannot be synthesized, she has nothing left to experiment with.

Most importantly, this means that the resources she acquires through trading in the future will be far less valuable than the resources in her deck, and the inability to synthesize and upgrade them will trigger a series of reactions.

It particularly affects decisions made when trading and using goods.

As his gaze inadvertently swept over the cards and wood, Li Zhi suddenly realized that something was amiss.

The image of the ore rolling around flashed before my eyes.

Those two iron ores were things she had collected from the Wilderness Market, not cards from the deck. How could they have been combined back then?

Li Zhi's gaze darted between the stacked timber and the pile of cards.

After a while, she took out the wood card from the deck and placed it on top of the other two bundles of wood.

A dialog box popped up:

[Three bundles of wood detected. Should they be combined into one bundle of hardwood?]

"synthesis!"

A flash of white light—

The previously rough wood instantly became smooth and hard, and its quality seemed to have improved several levels.

"So, to upgrade a card, you need a card from your deck?"

but……

The number of energy cards and material cards in the deck is limited. Whether you can get them, what kind you can get, and how many you can get depends entirely on luck.

Since direct upgrades are not possible, it is necessary to stock up on various types of goods just in case.

Stockpiling inventory is often the trigger that dies a company, and it can easily lead to a bottleneck when there is an urgent need for supplies.

This skill is essentially useless.

Li Zhi was preparing the player panel when his gaze suddenly fixed on something:

[Player: Give me back my 3-star, 5-cost character!!!]
