Chapter 15: Instantly Acquiring a Large Amount of Building Materials
The world channel was in a state of shock.
“Whoa, who is this god-tier player? It’s only been a few hours, and I’ve just woken up, and he’s already secured two houses?”
“I’m absolutely stunned this year, okay? Is there anyone more shocked than me? If you think there is, you might as well become a zombie because that’s impossible!”
“Brother Lin Feng, may I call you Lin God? Just calling you that in a sweet, delicate voice would make me so happy…”
“Hey, the guy above, you’re acting weird. Are you trying to seduce Lin God?”
The survivors who had just woken up and had nothing to do were naturally shocked to see that Lin Feng had already secured a second house so early in the day.
However, Lin Feng had no time to pay attention to the comments on the world channel.
At this moment, he held a vial of light blue serum in his hand, the blue liquid inside was very clear.
【Achievement Reward: Tier 1 Gene Serum has been issued, which can enhance the survivor’s own strength.】
Lin Feng carefully put away the vial of gene serum and first listened to the system’s overall report.
【From this search, your food acquisition is: 413 jin of food, including 300 pounds of rice…】
【Total: 413 jin of food, 41 liters of potable water, one generator, and 10 liters of diesel.】
Lin Feng had long noticed that this haul included a full 300 jin of rice and a generator! With this generator, he would be able to use electricity.
Although the use of electricity might not be very continuous, it marked the transition from having no power to having some.
Lin Feng decided to sell 250 jin of rice to exchange for white crystal stones. Currently, he had very few white crystal stones, which were insufficient to enhance the strength of his elite militiamen.
Lin Feng said to the system in his mind, “Confirm unlocking, Steel Shield!”
Unlocking the blueprint required calling out to the system in his mind; otherwise, the blueprint couldn’t be used for trading.
【Retrieving blueprint…】
【Detected Tier 2 unit blueprint: Steel Shield! Unlocking, please wait…】
【Exchange Store unlocked: Steel Shield, 20 white crystal stones each】
One only regrets the lack of white crystal stones when they are needed.
Lin Feng asked the system in his mind, “Summarize all my resources.”
【You currently have 519 jin of food, 1062 liters of water, 43 white crystal stones, 2 yellow crystal stones, 0 units of steel, and 0 units of building materials.】
Lin Feng hadn’t yet reacted when suddenly the units of steel and building materials appeared.
【Detected that you have acquired two independent houses. Now loading the conditions for upgrading to a Level 3 Shelter…】
【Upgrade to Level 3 Shelter (Compound Defense): 500 white crystal stones or 50 yellow crystal stones, 5000 units of building materials, 500 units of steel, four adjacent safe villas, and a single offensive operation to clear a zombie horde and establish a safe zone.】
The units of steel and building materials were unexpected for Lin Feng. The upgrade of the safe zone now required more than just clearing; it involved significant resource collection and strategic planning.
Lin Feng estimated that the need for steel in the construction of future safe zones was likely due to the necessity of building defensive structures, such as walls, to connect the houses.
Standing up, Lin Feng picked up a wooden plank at the edge of the villa and struck it hard against the wall.
With a “bang,” a corner of the wall chipped off.
He placed his hand on the chipped-off brick.
【Detected resource: Concrete or brick, 1.2 jin, converted to 1.2 jin of building materials.】
Lin Feng experimented further and confirmed that building materials referred to hard construction materials like bricks and cement.
He realized that while he could dismantle houses to gather these resources, it would be more efficient to trade based on the information disparity.
Immediately, Lin Feng posted two trade offers.
【Survivor Lin Feng offers: 250 jin of food (mixed food, evenly distributed portions) in exchange for 50 crystal stones, using a free trade method.】
This was Lin Feng’s first message.
“Whoa, Lin God is offering another 250 jin of food? Is he the master of relief? Brothers, hurry and grab it!”
“Yeah, he’s giving an extra jin of food compared to the market price. Buy it and resell it, and you make an extra jin!”
“Charge, charge, charge.”
Quickly, the 150 jin of rice, 50 jin of baguettes, and some other perishable foods Lin Feng offered were snapped up.
Lin Feng now had 50 more white crystal stones in his possession.
【You now have 269 jin of food, 1062 liters of water, 93 white crystal stones, 2 yellow crystal stones, 0 units of steel, and 0 units of concrete.】
However, it was the second trade offer that caused a stir. It was a very peculiar trade!
【Survivor Lin Feng offers: 25 jin of food (mixed food, evenly distributed portions) in exchange for 5000 units of building materials, 25 jin of food in exchange for 500 units of steel.】
【Trader’s note: Building materials include concrete and bricks, and steel includes iron and similar materials. One unit equals one jin.】
This trade offer immediately elicited a chorus of exclamations from the survivors.
“Whoa, is Lin God here to aid the poor? Concrete and bricks are practically useless. Even if it were 50 jin for one jin, it would still be an incredible deal!”
“Enough talk, I’m grabbing a sledgehammer and starting to break down the wall. I’ll just knock down the side by the window so it won’t affect the zombies outside.”
“Everyone else, stay put. I’m going first!”
In less than five minutes, Lin Feng’s 50 jin of food was completely snapped up.
【You have obtained 5000 units of building materials and 500 units of steel through the trade!】
He directly acquired the necessary resources for the upgrade with a small amount of food!
