Any recipe was worth collecting.
Xia Feng received multiple messages very soon.
Bu Pingfan: Master Xia Feng, what do you think of my recipe?
Random Guy A: Hello, Master Xia Feng. This is my recipe.
Random Guy B: Hello, Master Xia Feng. This is my recipe.
Xia Feng checked their recipes one by one.
[Recipe of Exquisite Power Gauntlet: This is a spiritual device that can increase the strength of your arm. You can only wear one on each arm.]
[Recipe of Ordinary Shelter Furnace Expansion: This is a one-time recipe that can create a furnace in your shelter. Requirement: An exquisite or better shelter.]
[Recipe of Exquisite Gas Mask: This is a very practical tool that offers great protection. If you craft it, you won’t be scared of ordinary poisonous gas.]
All of the recipes were very useful. Xia Feng asked about their prices one by one.
Random Guy A, who had the Recipe of Ordinary Shelter Furnace Expansion, wanted food. Xia Feng easily exchanged two pieces of Shadow Cat Meat for that.
It was a fair deal. Both of them got what they needed.
Random Guy B had the Recipe of Exquisite Gas Mask. He demanded five spiritual runes of each class.
Xia Feng didn’t think the price was unacceptable, but he tried to bargain with the guy, and eventually paid three spiritual runes of each class for that.
As for Bu Pingfan, his demand was slightly weird. He wanted to work as Xia Feng’s assistant too.
Looking at his name, Xia Feng couldn’t help but associate Bu Pingfan with Lin Feifan.
He sent a private message to Lin Feifan.
“Do you know that guy named Bu Pingfan?”
Hardly had he sent the message when Lin Feifan replied.
“Boss, I’m sorry… Pingfan is my best friend. We grew up together. I accidentally divulged the secret when I talked to him earlier.”
Xia Feng couldn’t tell if Lin Feifan was telling the truth.
However, considering that Lin Feifan had done a good job, Xia Feng decided to trust him for this time.
“Don’t do that again.”
Xia Feng didn’t get the Power Gauntlet in the end. He refused Bu Pingfan’s demand.
After Xia Feng turned him down, Bu Pingfan declared that he wouldn’t accept anything else for the Power Gauntlet.
That was the end of the trade. Xia Feng bartered with Random Guy A and Random Guy B.
[System notification: Shadow Cat Meat -2, spiritual runes of each class -3]
[System notification: Recipe of Ordinary Shelter Furnace Expansion +1]
[System notification: Recipe of Exquisite Gas Mask +1]
[System notification: Do you want to learn the Recipe of Ordinary Shelter Furnace Expansion?]
[System notification: Do you want to learn the Recipe of Exquisite Gas Mask?]
“Learn them,” Xia Feng mumbled.
After a flash, he successfully learned them.
He opened the craft menu.
[Ordinary Shelter Furnace (one-time): Stone 48/4, Bronze 100/4, Iron 76/2]
[Exquisite Gas Mask: Plastic 0/2, Beast Skin 4/1, Iron 76/2, Wind Spiritual Rune 24/2, Water Spiritual Rune 34/2, Fire Spiritual Rune 24/2]
Xia Feng remembered seeing plastic in the market. It was about the same price as iron.
Xia Feng bought 10 pieces of them in a row.
[System notification: Plastic +10]
[System notification: Iron -10]
After the materials were ready, Xia Feng crafted two Gas Masks, one for himself and the other for Big Black.
Before the equipment was made, the system had modified it according to the specs of its user.
[System notification: Plastic -4, Beast Skin -2, Iron -4, Wind Spiritual Rune -8, Fire Spiritual Rune -4, Water Spiritual Rune -4]
Two Gas Masks that could cover the entire head appeared in Xia Feng’s hands.
He tried it on, and found that it was very convenient. It didn’t block his eyesight, and breathing was very easy.
Then, Xia Feng set up the shelter, and crafted the furnace in it.
“Big Black, you’re going to enjoy yourself.”
Xia Feng looked at the furnace in satisfaction as he could cook when he was hungry.
As it happened, he had reaped a lot of vegetables and rice. He could enjoy his life.
However, it was not the time for enjoyment yet.
He had to use up the exploration opportunities first.
Folding the shelter, Xia Feng began to observe the five channels that were connected to the island.
[Island No.1: A highly corrosive acid rain is going on here. You wouldn’t want to experience that.]
[Island No.2: There’s a white pig in heat. It’s willing to be ravaged by any male creature right now. You may go there and enjoy yourself if you’re interested. There’s also a Bronze Chest and some assets.]
[Island No.3: It has an Iron Chest, but a bunch of Night Demons are lurking here. They’re extremely dangerous. You can’t see them at all at night.]
[Island No.4: There are some assets on it, but you probably don’t need them.]
[Island No.5: Poisonous gas permeates this island, which is also home to an adult Poisonous Smoke Beast. However, there’s a Silver Chest in the beast’s lair.]
After reading the hints on the five channels, Xia Feng opened his handbook, and looked for the creatures.
[White Pig: Harmless, delicious, and highly fertile.]
[Hint: If you run into one, you may try to catch it.]
[Night Demons: Extremely dangerous creatures in the Misty Space. They often appear at night. Ordinary people can’t see them.]
[Hint: If you have a Spiritual Lamp, you may try to deal with them.]
[Poisonous Smoke Beast: A rarely seen animal in the Misty Space that does not like to move. They usually live in highly poisonous places. People don’t see them often.]
[Hint: If you’re in conflict with them, kill them as soon as possible, or the poisonous smoke it releases will corrode and evaporate you.]
Xia Feng wanted to go to Island No.5 the most. After all, the Silver Chest was really attractive.
However, Island No.3 was also an option, as long as he waited.
He was sure that the Night Demons would be inactive during the day.
After thinking it over and over, Xia Feng decided to go to Island No.5.
The Exquisite Gas Mask he just made proved useful.
Putting the Gas Masks on Big Black and himself, Xia Feng came to the 14th island through Channel No.5.
The island wasn’t very big, with a coverage of only 200 meters. Visible poisonous gas was everywhere.
[The poisonous gas here is so dense that you can only survive 10 minutes even with the Gas Mask.]
10 minutes is enough.
Xia Feng walked to the Poisonous Smoke Beast’s lair at the center of the island.
He was not confident of shooting it from so far away, so he had to get closer to the target.
The Poisonous Smoke Beast was only one meter tall. It had short limbs and a skin full of ulcers.
As he approached the Poisonous Smoke Beast, the poison density soared.
The golden hint popped up, warning Xia Feng that his Gas Mask would expire in five minutes.
