The food today was four kilometers due south. There were two dangers. One was nine kilometers to the east, and the other was three and a half kilometers to the southwest.
The beast three and a half kilometers away was a minimal threat. It was probably an animal like a rabbit or a field mouse. There was nothing to be afraid of.
According to his habits, Chen Chen would take the food first and then plan the search area according to the situation.
But now that he had eaten the super apple, his stamina had significantly increased, and his search efficiency also got much higher. There was no need to be so nervous.
“Today, I will search a five-kilometer radius around the shelter. I will first go to the east and then search all the way to the west.”
Having made up his mind, Chen Chen immediately began to move.
Chen Chen began to search wearing military boots, a tactical vest, a knife on his waist, and a long-handled Tang blade in his hand.
Today’s main target was long-range weapons such as bows and arrows or weapons manufacturing blueprints. Next was all kinds of medicine. Chen Chen needed to stock up on some to save his life at critical moments.
Next was all kinds of tools, such as saws, axes, and the like. Although Chen Chen now had all these tools, they were not detailed enough functions. Each tool could “multitask.” Once tools of various functions were complete, his work efficiency would also improve.
The least important things were all kinds of dispensable resources, while the more precious ones were mechanical components of plastic. The more common wood and steel would be completely unable to withstand the abnormal radiation outbreak that would happen in two days. It couldn’t be eaten, but it would also be a pity to throw them away.
Chen Chen had the powerful scouting skills of a scavenger, but this kind of scouting still relied heavily on his eyes. Chen Chen had to see it when he would act very strangely whenever he searched.
While holding the long knife, his head darted left and right as he ran. His eyes looked around, and sometimes he suddenly stopped and stared at the bee messenger in front of him. He did not look like a wilderness explorer at all.
“Fortunately, there is no one around the shelter. It doesn’t matter if I do something strange.”
“If I send my current image to my classmates, I will die on the spot.”
Not long after, Chen Chen found a resource. It was a mechanical component.
Chen Chen picked up the mechanical component and put it into his tactical vest pocket. He felt a little regretful. “Unfortunately, many of the settings in the game have changed. In the game, you could directly use mechanical components and some materials to create things in the past. Now, you have to have the corresponding blueprint.”
Shaking his head, Chen Chen continued to move forward.
After running for about five minutes, a small brown thing suddenly jumped into the hole beside him.
If it was an ordinary person, they might not be able to see what it was. However, Chen Chen now had a super-high dynamic vision and the ability to lock onto objects. When his eyes swept over it, he could clearly see that it was a rodent that looked like a field mouse. It was bigger than an ordinary field mouse, and it looked like it weighed eight or nine kilograms.
This small animal seemed to be sane. The moment there was any movement, it would burrow into the hole. Chen Chen wanted to see if he could catch this animal.
“It ran so fast. One look and I can tell it has not eaten its fill. Let me take it home and feed it properly.”
Chen Chen walked to the side of the hole that the rat had burrowed into. He looked around carefully and used soil to block another hole. Only then did he start to catch the rat.
Firewood on the trading channel was now free. Many people were open to trading 24 hours a day, allowing those who needed it to take it themselves.
Chen Chen took a bit of the fuel and found some dry wood and hay around. He lit it and placed it at the hole.
Just like that, he smoked it for five minutes, and when he was wondering if the rat had escaped through a hole that he did not know about, the soil in the hole he initially blocked started to move.
Chen Chen immediately picked up his Tang Dao and stood by the side.
Gradually, the soil began to loosen more and more. When a small claw reached out, Chen Chen decisively stabbed it in.
Chen Chen felt that he had stabbed something. He shook his knife and picked it out.
It was indeed the rat. It was not light. It could be considered a pretty good harvest.
[Large field rat: its limbs are short and strong, claws are developed, and front teeth are thick. It likes to dig complicated tunnels. The terraforming world’s environment nourishes it, and its size is relatively large. It weighs 2.83kg.]
It was difficult to carry such a large rat, so Chen Chen directly sent a private message to Wang Yu.
Wang Yu quickly replied.
I’m The Main Character: What is it, Brother Chen?
Chen Zhen: I killed a large field rat. I will give it to you now. If you help me sell it, I will provide you with 200g of the rat meat.
“I’m The Main Character: Ah! Alright, Alright.
“I’m The Main Character: I’m touched! Brother Chen, you actually trust me so much! I’ll definitely help you.
“Alright, accept it.”
Chen Chen originally wanted to say that these conditions would be written in the transaction, but he felt that he couldn’t let Wang Yu be touched for anything. In the end, he only said good words.
Other than direct transactions, the system’s only other option was renting.
Wang Yu’s trade was just like that. However, Chen Chen had used food to rent his water collection service.
Even though there were only two types of trade, one was a one-time transaction and a rental. However, under the players’ imagination, the rental trade was played out in all sorts of ways, such as payment by installments.
However, there was also a considerable risk involved. If the renter lost, destroyed, or deliberately threw the player’s items into the wild, the system would immediately determine that the trade had failed. The loaner’s equivalent items would be randomly deducted to repay the loaner.
However, the system’s equivalent value was not the same as the player’s current equivalent value. The price of meat was different every day, and the system’s compensation might not be able to offset the loss.
Yesterday, there was a case like this in the World Forum. A player named [Flying Dragon] had rented the items for more than ten people, and he had moved all of his out of the shelter. He filled the shelter with stones and then threw all of his rented items in the wild.
The system determined that the transaction had failed, but his shelter only had stones, so the system returned the stones to the players who had rented them. The flying dragon swindled more than ten good items in one go.
The Flying Dragon knew that he would not return them, so the rental price was very high. One person gave the flying dragon five pounds of meat, and the flying dragon promised to return it with a bow and arrow, but in the end, he only received ten units of stones.
After all, from a physical point of view, ten units of stones were really about the same value as five pounds of meat. However, in a player’s transaction, five pounds of meat was more than enough to exchange for 100 units of stones. The key was that the stones were really useless.
The victims in that area had sent this message, intending to let everyone take this as a warning to prevent fraud.
However, these messages were quickly signed in by other players every day. Looking at Wang Yu’s reaction, Chen Chen knew that most players did not know about this. The number of victims would probably increase again.
Chen Chen felt that after everyone knew about this message, the rental transaction could only be carried out between people who trusted each other.
After a while, Wang Yu sent another message.
I Am The Main Character: Oh right, Brother Chen, do you have any intention to trade it? What resources do you need?
Chen Zhen: Long-range weapons, medicines, and tools. The importance of these three decreased in order. You don’t need the resources.
I Am The Main Character: Alright, Brother Chen. I will definitely sell it for a good price.
Chen Zhen: Yes, yes.
Even though the player’s demand for food was decreasing, food was still the most sought-after resource.
Chen Chen only needed to use the temperature control window to exchange for ordinary resources. Players who exchanged for the temperature control window were relatively better off, so they took out ordinary resources to exchange for them. Meanwhile, food could be exchanged for rare resources from extremely hungry people.
After the transaction was completed, Chen Chen continued to search.
In three hours, Chen Chen collected a thermometer, a kerosene lamp, three units of rubber, and a new pair of jeans.
After running for another ten minutes, Chen Chen finally found a food spot in the south.
This time, he found that the food was actually a large lunch box of spicy hotpot, with all kinds of meat and vegetables, seaweed, lotus root, broccoli, black fungus, konjac hairy stomach, duck intestines, squid, shrimp, beef balls, and sausage.

[Spicy hotpot: A large portion of spicy hotpot, with rich side dishes. Spicy and refreshing, and fragrant, suitable for eating with white rice. Weighs 1000 grams.]
Chen Chen could not help but swallow his saliva. Although there was meat in every meal, the taste was really ordinary without seasoning.
It was really refreshing to find a spicy hot pot today!
Chen Chen picked up the packaged lunch box. “There is no white rice.”
“No, I must eat white rice today!”
