Zhou Zeyu feels very embarrassed now!

Very shy!

Just like Shen Yiming, he was also in a state of dehydration after waking up in the cave. What happened was that he did not boil water in the wooden box placed in the palace...

When he saw what was in the wooden box, his mentality was a little split.

Then…

After a fierce ideological struggle.

He gritted his teeth, picked up the shovel and dug into the next cave.

He's very lucky.

There were no cave creatures in the first cave. He searched the entire cave and obtained ten units of wood and five units of iron. Then, with the mood of an old farmer having a good harvest, he discovered...

He still didn't find water!

So, he gritted his teeth again, picked up the shovel and dug into the second cave.

This time.

His luck continued.

The second cave was half magma and half ordinary dirt. After he came out of the black hole, he was lucky enough to appear on the dirt.

Feeling the heat in the air, he felt that his already dehydrated body was becoming even more dehydrated.

So, he dug into the next cave without hesitation.

that's all…

He took the shovel and dug all the way down, and he didn't stop until the shovel's durability was only ten points.

I don't know whether to say he is lucky or bad.

Say he is unlucky.

Among the nine caves, he didn't encounter any cave creatures. The most dangerous one was just when he almost fell into the lava. Instead, he collected a lot of various materials.

Said he was lucky.

Nine caves, he has never seen even 100ml of water...

Moreover, while he kept digging the cave, he also paid attention to the situation on the [Transaction], but he never once snatched away the water resources listed on the [Transaction] from others.

Sitting on the ground in the ninth cave, he felt that his body could no longer hold on...

Fortunately, there is always a way out.

Just when he was hesitating whether to use the last ten points of the shovel's durability.

He saw in [Trading] that a big boss had placed two units of core nuts.

He quickly hung up eight units of iron and twenty units of wood.

In the end, the transaction was successful, and he finally got the first thing that could be used to replenish water.

At the moment, while he was munching on the core nuts, he sent a private message to the big boss who had included the core nuts in the [Transaction]:

[Zhou Zeyu]: "Boss, I only have two units of silver. Do you think you can exchange those four units of copper for one unit of soul crystal?"

The seller responded quickly:

[Shen Yiming]: "Two units of silver, two units of copper and one unit of soul crystal."

What?!

Is one unit of soul crystal worth two units of copper?

Zhou Zeyu was stunned for a moment, then became furious.

Even if you are a big boss, you can't suppress prices like this. From the description of the system, soul crystals are obviously much more precious than copper, right?

He couldn't bear this. This kind of behavior of suppressing prices must be strongly condemned!

Immediately, he sent a message back:

[Zhou Zeyu]: "Boss, please do me a favor. I haven't found even one unit of copper. I really can't get it out. How about I give you five more units of wood?"

[Shen Yiming]: "Okay."

Seeing the other party's reply, Zhou Zeyu first looked happy, and then cursed a few words in a low voice with an unpleasant look on his face:

"Bitch profiteer, after this transaction, even if I, Zhou Zeyu, die of thirst and drink lava, I will never trade with you again!"

Although he was cursing in a low voice, his movements were not slow. He hung up two units of silver, five units of iron, and one unit of soul crystal.

The moment the material is hung up.

Transaction successful!

Zhou Zeyu once again harvested a unit of earth core fruit.

This was the first time he saw this kind of thing that could both replenish water and fill the stomach. He had been paying attention to the [deal] for so long, so even though the price was a bit expensive, he chose the deal without hesitation.

Given the rarity of this kind of thing, if you don't trade it yourself, someone else will. After passing this village, there won't be that store.

After all, he is still dehydrated and in desperate need of rehydration.

Moreover, the durability of his shovel today has reached 90. If he continues digging, the shovel will be useless...

He comforted himself like this and felt a little better.

"Bye bye to you, bitch profiteer, you are still a boss, bah!"

He took a sip in front of him and was about to close the private chat interface.

At this time, Shen Yiming sent a message:

[Shen Yiming]: "Happy transaction."

He was stunned for a moment, and then immediately replied:

[Zhou Zeyu]: "Happy transaction, thank you for the earth core fruit, boss. If you have similar resources next time, remember to give me priority!"

…

…

In the cave on the other side.

Shen Yiming looked at the extra silver, iron, wood and other materials in the inventory, and couldn't help but feel a little dumbfounded for a moment.

He originally thought that he would need to dig a few more caves to collect the materials to make the water-making device.

Unexpectedly, he just sold two units of core nuts and he was able to collect them all.

Speaking of which, he originally just wanted to raise a price to facilitate subsequent bargaining with the buyer.

When it comes to bargaining, it's all about you going back and forth, each making a counter-offer.

but…

What made him even more unexpected was that the other party seemed to have agreed to his price without even paying the price once.

"I just like this kind of bold approach and lots of materials."

He muttered to himself with emotion. At this time, he saw another message sent by the other party:

[Zhou Zeyu]: "Happy transaction, thank you boss for the core fruit. If there is water next time, remember to give me priority!"

Looking at the message sent by the smart guy with lots of information, he smiled and replied:

[Shen Yiming]: "Okay."

After replying, he closed the private chat interface and looked at the copper treasure box in front of him.

[System prompt: The current treasure box can be decomposed, should it be decomposed? 】

"break down."

He thought silently in his heart.

The treasure box in front of him immediately disintegrated, and then turned into a coppery-yellow light that disappeared into the ring on his index finger.

[System prompt: Decomposition successful, copper +4.]

The materials have been gathered, it's time to build the water-making device.

He opened the [Manufacturing] interface.

Then find the only lighted icon among a series of dark icons, and select:

[Water making device for survivors: silver 2/2, copper 4/4, iron 8/8, wood 16/16, soul crystal 2/2.]

[System prompt: Material collection is completed and manufacturing can be carried out. Do you want to proceed with manufacturing? 】

"yes."

He had a thought in his mind.

The materials in the inventory suddenly disappeared.

[System prompt: Silver -2, Copper -4, Iron -8, Wood -16, Soul Crystal -2.]

[System prompt: The special water-making device for survivors has been successfully manufactured.]

A device that resembled a claw machine in size and appearance appeared in front of him.

He glanced at the device intently:

[Survivor-specific water production device: Survivor-specific device, suitable for various survival scenarios.

How to use: After placing an energy crystal, it can be used once every 5 units of wood consumed.】

[Note: One energy crystal can support the use of this device 100 times.]

[Do you think this is a claw machine? You are totally wrong. Let me tell you, this is a water machine!

As for the working principle of this device? You are already here, why do you still care about the working principle?
