Blueprint?
Chen Chen was not in a hurry to reply. He felt that this name was somewhat familiar.
He then looked at the screenshot and compared it with the current post. He found that this [Take A Bite Of Snail] was the guy from the post-00s generation, Wang Zixuan.
Chen Chen immediately replied.
[Take A Bite Of Snail’s private message]
…..
Chen Zhen: I have food. What blueprint do you have?
Take a bite of the snail: Uh, this… The blueprint is a bit special… I’ll send you the message.
Chen Chen was a bit confused. What kind of blueprint was it? This Wang Zixuan still couldn’t say it out loud.
Soon, a private message was sent. It had the appearance of the blueprint and the system description.
[Wooden scabbard (Blueprint): After learning it, you can make scabbards of various sizes. A slightly greater difficulty of making. Required materials: 0.1 units of wood.]
A useless blueprint and a certain level of difficulty in making it. No wonder Wang Zixuan was so hesitant.
Chen Chen thought for a moment. 0.1 units of wood was nothing.
A unit of wood had ten wooden boards that were three centimeters thick, five centimeters wide, and fifty centimeters long. Making a scabbard only required one wooden board. It was not a problem for Chen Chen.
However, the problem was that a scabbard was useless at the moment. Let alone Chen Chen, who used a knife, he would not make a scabbard for himself even if it was a sword.
If he met a beast in the wild, he could just pick up a weapon and make do with it. Wouldn’t having multiple scabbards make things difficult for him?
If the blueprint was a bench table, Chen Chen might have reconsidered.
There was really no need for a scabbard. Although he had a stable food source, he still needed to use steel on the blade.
Chen Chen replied immediately.
Chen Zhen: This is useless to me. I won’t exchange it.
Take A Bite Of Snail: Okay, brother Chen. I’ll ask someone else, then.
After dealing with this small incident, Chen Chen returned to the shelter.
This time, he did not encounter any more supplies. Chen Chen returned to the shelter safely.
After resting in the shelter for a while, he set off again, heading 6 kilometers southwest.
On the way, when he was three kilometers away, Chen Chen found materials again.
[1 unit of plastic: A very versatile plastic that can withstand temperatures ranging from -40 to 170 degrees. It is non-toxic and harmless to the body.]
Plastic was also a part of the resources in the game. Chen Chen did not expect that the deformed world would refresh plastic.
He held the 10-centimeter-long cubic plastic in his hand. “Transparent and colorless. It looks pretty good, but how do I use it?”
Would there be a machine in the later stages, or could it be made with blueprints?
Although he didn’t know how to use it, the value of this thing was definitely higher than wood, so he brought it with him.
Half an hour later, as he arrived at the food refresh point with sweat all over his back, the food he saw gave him a big shock.
What appeared in front of Chen Chen was actually a complete Jinhua ham!
“This… This is more than profitable!”
This made him even more excited than the tactical vest he discovered. It had been made from a whole piece of pork hind leg.
Protein and salt: these two things were all there at once!
The ham was wrapped in Kraft paper and tied with hemp rope and on the outermost side were four Chinese characters, “Jinhua Ham.”
“Jinhua Ham: Bright color, distinct red and white. The lean meat is salty and sweet, fatty but not greasy. Delicious; it contains rich protein and fat, and many vitamins and minerals.”
After harvesting the Jinhua ham, Chen Chen wouldn’t have to worry about the food for the next three days. Carrying the ham on his back, he began to search for supplies.
After ten minutes of searching, a bee came back to report.
The beast that was in the south moved its position and headed east.
“Fortunately, it is away from my direction. Keep searching!”
After another 20 minutes, Chen Chen finally found new supplies.
This was a blueprint, and it was the first time he was exploring it himself.
[Temperature adjustment window (Blueprint): Speeds up the flow of high-temperature air to low temperature through its delicate structure, which can effectively adjust the indoor temperature and humidity. Materials needed: 1 unit of wood, 0.2 units of steel (iron) sheets.
“This is good stuff. This blueprint should be recognized by the system, right? The conditions of the shelter will be much better.”
The shelter created by the terraformed world had a magical effect. It could completely isolate the radiation from the surroundings.
However, when players opened the wooden doors or windows of the shelter, the radiation would enter.
After the players went out to explore yesterday, night had arrived quickly, and they did not feel much heat.
But today, the players had to stay in the shelter for at least half a day when it was closed. The heat was unbearable.
With this blueprint, the conditions of the shelter could be improved a lot.
Chen Chen looked at the trading channel. There were six players selling steel pieces, which added up to nine units.
As for the wood, there was even more, so there was no need to worry.
Today, another player was lucky enough to pick up an ax. He could cut down the tree himself.
However, after cutting the tree for two hours, that player realized that he wouldn’t earn as much as picking trash. There was a lot of wood on the market right now, so it was not worth much. Cutting down the tree also consumed more stamina. Moreover, the quality of the cut wood was nowhere as good as the resources the system refreshed. Therefore, he posted a comment and went back to picking up trash.
Many players thought of Chen Chen’s analysis. At that time, he suggested that everyone should focus on searching for resources. Unless they had special resources, the profits wouldn’t be as high.
This was only one of Chen Chen’s many conjectures. Many people found that the analysis was true and went to the bottom of the post to say something along the lines of “awesome.”
Not long after, the survival expert finally sent a message to Chen Chen.
Survival Expert Xing Kai: “Brother Chen, I’ve made the bamboo basket for you. Can I send it to you now? Also, I’d like to exchange some honey with you. Can you use some of the small items I made?”
He had not eaten all this while, and now that he was going out, he needed to replenish his energy.
Chen Zhen: “Brother Kai, it’s inconvenient for me to receive items now. You can send them to me in the afternoon. I don’t really need small items either.”
After seeing Chen Zhen’s message, Xing Kai was a little disappointed. It would be very dangerous to go into the wild if he couldn’t replenish his energy.
Survival Expert Xing Kai: Alright then. I really don’t have anything right now, so I won’t disturb you.
Xing Kai sighed and prepared to set off.
But at this moment, Chen Zhen sent a message over.
Chen Zhen: How about this. I’ll give you 20g of honey first, and when you find something today, you can return it to me. At the same time, some of the honey will be used for me to ask you questions.
Survival Expert Xing Kai: Great! No problem. It’s good enough that you can pay me in advance. I will exchange it for the same price. If you have any questions, just ask, and I can answer for free forever.
Chen Zhen: Okay, I’ll send you the transaction now.
Survival Expert Xing Kai: Thank you, thank you.
Such delayed transaction was done by leasing. Xing Kai’s rental price was “20g of honey for an equivalent item,” and the system would determine its value.
It would be troublesome to complete such a transaction when the time came. The two of them also needed to have enough trust, but they could only do so because the system only had two ways of trading: direct exchange and leasing.
Through their previous contact, both of them had more trust. 20 grams of honey wasn’t very expensive, so Chen Chen agreed.
The transaction was set by the system, so there was no need to worry about breaking the contract. The only risk was Xing Kai encountering danger during the exploration, and Chen Chen wouldn’t get anything in the end.
However, since he was a survival expert, it was unlikely to die the next day he went out.
After trading the items for Xing Kai, Chen Chen asked him about the method of tying a rope to irregular objects, then tied the plastic and ham firmly and continued to explore.
After Chen Chen’s honey had been bought, the original trading interface immediately refreshed. The players also noticed this.
[Honey 20g]
…..
Monster Galulu: Wow, someone really bought it! Fools!
Fire King Cao Xin: You bought 20 grams for the price of 200. What a fool with a lot of money.
Vitality Girl Guo Degang: Is it because the higher-ups don’t have good eyesight? Look carefully. The person who bought it is Survival Expert Xing Kai. He made so many simple survival items in the morning. What makes you think you know better than him?
Killing people like Maxi Sheep: That’s right. Without Brother Xing’s method of heating up rocks, I would have been frozen to death last night.
Down Everyday: Those two guys are so funny. They don’t know anything but still love to talk about God.
Fire King Cao Xin: That doesn’t mean the honey is valuable…
Nice Giegie Li Tiuniu: Don’t bother with this fool. By the way, since the survival expert has already exchanged for it, should I exhange for some as well?
….
Following that, Chen Chen spent two hours and twenty minutes exploring and returning. He didn’t use up all of his time, so he reserved an hour for dealing with unexpected situations.
After exploring for over two hours, Chen Chen did not find any more high-value resources, but he still found some small items.
[Outdoor Aluminum Lunch Box: All-aluminum structure, with a foldable handle. 100% domestic, reliable quality, sturdy and durable.]
[1 unit of Wood: Neatly cut, strong, and durable. Wood for a wide range of uses.]
With his job as a scavenger, Chen Chen’s search efficiency was indeed much higher. Later on, he chose to reserve an hour in the wild because there were too many things that he could not take down.
Wood was considered a common resource, and the aluminum lunchbox was not bad. In the future, he could drink warm water.
Returning to the shelter, Chen Chen ate some rice that filled himself halfway.
Then, he exchanged a rice ball for two units of steel sheets and began to make the temperature adjustment window.
With a clap, Chen Chen learned the blueprint and immediately knew how to make the adjustment window.
Just as he had guessed, the adjustment window made from the blueprint could isolate the radiation from the terraformed world, perfectly replacing the original window.
Even if someone without the blueprint made an exact copy, it could only adjust the temperature and not isolate the radiation from the terraforming world. By installing it on the window, the shelter had a loophole.
And after learning the blueprint, Chen Chen could create it with his bare hands as long as he had the materials. However, the efficiency would be very low.
Chen Chen tried it. Without the Tang blade, he would need five hours to create a temperature control window, but he would only need one hour if he had it. If he had more tools, the time could be further shortened.
“An hour is worth it. Let’s give it a try.”
Chen Chen immediately started making the windows.
He held the extremely rough temperature control window an hour later, not knowing if he should laugh or cry.
[Temperature Control Window: Speed up the flow of high-temperature air to low temperature through the delicate physical structure, which can effectively adjust the indoor temperature and humidity.

Quality: Inferior (40% efficiency)]
“There’s actually some quality here. I have no experience in carpentry, so I really can’t make anything good!”
Chen Chen was a little worried. Would he have to sell the blueprints in the future in order to maximize the benefits, or did he have to waste lots of resources to train his ability? What should he do when he could make machinery and other things in the future? Should he practice his mechanical skills again?
“Let’s load it up first. It’s too much of a loss to sell the blueprints. I can only practice more. Fortunately, I have an early advantage. I can practice earlier and burn more money to accumulate experience…”
Chen Chen suddenly stopped halfway. He seemed to have a better idea..
