It seems the quantity of [Wood] obtained from gathering trees is determined by the thickness of the tree.
The thicker the tree, the more [Wood] obtained!
Continue!
Gather!
Ding! Congratulations, you obtained [Wood] *2!
Ding! Congratulations, you obtained [Wood] *4, [Sprouting Branch] *1!
...
Zhang Chen gathered trees from the entire alley, obtaining a total of [Wood] *240 and [Sprouting Branch] *65.
[Sprouting Branch]: Planted in the soil, it can grow into a tree!
[Once the next stage of system suppression is lifted, unmutated trees will become rare resources, make good use of them!]
A prompt suddenly popped up!
Zhang Chen was originally planning to discard this [Sprouting Branch]!
Trees are everywhere, why would he need this thing!
But seeing the prompt, Zhang Chen immediately understood.
This means that in 30 days, all plants will mutate!
These trees might even eat people...
At that time, if he wanted to craft tools, walls, and the like.
Without unmutated trees, it would truly be impossible!
Next is to craft the [Precision Longbow]!
[Precision Longbow Blueprint]: Consume [Wood] *10, [Energy Crystal Core] *1 to craft [Precision Longbow]!
[Arrow Blueprint]: Consume [Wood] *1 to craft [Arrows] *20!
Ding! You lost [Wood] *10, [Energy Crystal Core] *1!
Ding! Congratulations, you obtained [Precision Longbow] *1!
Ding! You lost [Wood] *10, [Energy Crystal Core] *1!
Ding! Congratulations, you obtained [Precision Longbow] *1!
Ding! You lost [Wood] *1, [Energy Crystal Core] *1!
Ding! Congratulations, you obtained [Precision Longbow] *1!
...
Zhang Chen directly consumed 20 points of Energy Crystal Cores and 200 points of Wood to craft twenty [Precision Longbows]!
Open the chat channel:
[Precision Longbow] for sale, comes with [Arrows] *10, PM if interested! Bring your own price!
At this time, the survivors were all exhilarated by the video of the heavy truck crushing zombies!
They all wanted to kill a few zombies to showcase their skills.
But many, despite having cleavers, still dared not go out.
After all, this was close combat!
If they failed to finish off a zombie with one strike, they would die themselves.
The risk factor was too high!
Therefore, after Zhang Chen posted the [Precision Longbow], the chat room instantly exploded!
Holy crap, ranged weapons, this is awesome!
Do the arrows automatically aim? Even if you can't shoot, will they hit? Definitely a divine weapon!
Brothers, we must go out and kill zombies, being stuck here is a slow death, why not take a chance!
That's right, take a chance, and a bicycle can turn into a motorcycle!
Don't know the price of this longbow, any brothers who made a deal, share your experience?
At this moment, Zhang Chen's private message interface was flooded with people.
Big brother, can I borrow the bow and arrows first? I'll exchange them with Energy Crystal Cores after killing zombies, what do you think?
Little brother, I want a bow and arrows too, what do you want? How about we video call? I'll follow your instructions, it'll be fun!~
I only have half a sausage, big brother, what do you think?
...
Zhang Chen directly ignored these freeloading survivors.
What a joke!
I crafted a weapon with 10 Wood and 1 Energy Crystal Core, and you want it for free?
Are you crazy!
There are so many survivors, eventually, there will be those who can afford it!
Big brother, I have 5 Energy Crystal Cores, can I exchange them?
The speaker was a man in a military uniform, looking very spirited.
His name was Dong Tiejun.
Yes, let's exchange!
Zhang Chen nodded.
Actually, it wasn't because the price of 5 Energy Crystal Cores was reasonable.
The main reason was that Zhang Chen saw that this person's combat power was not bad!
If he got the bow and arrows, he would definitely be able to kill more zombies!
This way, he would have Energy Crystal Cores to exchange for Zhang Chen's [Arrows]!
That's right, Zhang Chen wasn't planning to earn Crystal Cores by selling bows from the very beginning!
To truly reap the benefits long-term, one must rely on [Arrows]!
These are consumables!
And without [Arrows], the bow is useless!
Want to continue killing zombies?
Then come and buy arrows!
This is the correct way to reap benefits!
Big brother, I have the skill book [Primary Insight Eye], do you want it?
[Primary Insight Eye]: Allows you to directly see the opponent's strength level, effective range: three levels above and below your own strength!
Being able to clearly see the strength of other survivors is definitely very important!
However, in the early stages of the apocalypse, the role of this item is far less practical than a bow and arrows.
The zombies' strength is as it is, why would you need insight?
As for encountering survivors, their strength is also measured by numbers.
More people naturally means stronger, and the difference in strength in the early stages cannot compensate for the difference in numbers.
It's better to steadily trade for bows and arrows and kill more zombies unharmed!
Okay! Trade!
Ding! You lost [Precision Longbow] and obtained the skill [Primary Insight Eye]!
I have a 10L barrel of pure water, can I exchange it?
A 10L barrel of pure water?
Zhang Chen clicked on the item.
An image immediately popped up.
It was the kind of bottled water commonly used at home.
To be able to trade a 10L barrel of bottled water for a weapon at once, this guy must have more than just this one barrel!
Zhang Chen's heart stirred, and he replied:
I want 10 barrels!
Ah? Big brother, you're too greedy, 10 barrels won't do, 2 barrels, at most two barrels!
In fact, this person was also worried.
His name was Li Xuefeng.
Zhang Chen had indeed guessed correctly, he was trapped at the water station.
There were more than a dozen barrels of pure water piled up in the room.
He wasn't worried about water problems.
The key was that he couldn't sell this water!
Others were selling it bottle by bottle.
If he directly listed a barrel, let alone no one could afford it.
It would also easily attract the attention of other survivors!
Most importantly, food and water were in a state of being available but not purchasable.
Those who could afford Crystal Cores generally had the ability to kill zombies, and thus could find food and water themselves, so there was no need to use precious Crystal Cores for exchange.
Those who needed water couldn't afford Crystal Cores either.
It was this awkward situation.
Li Xuefeng also knew that only by killing zombies and becoming stronger could he survive better in the apocalypse.
And the auto-aiming bow and arrows naturally became a divine weapon for killing zombies!
With it, Li Xuefeng had the confidence to establish himself in the apocalypse.
This was why he mustered the courage to privately message Zhang Chen.
Who knew he would encounter Zhang Chen's exorbitant price, asking for 10 barrels at once!
That's basically robbery!
10 barrels, not one less!
Brother, I only have a dozen barrels of water in total, if you take ten at once, how will I live in the future!
Actually, Zhang Chen wasn't making an outrageous price.
He could tell from the other party's words that Li Xuefeng was hesitating.
If Li Xuefeng really felt that he was asking for too much and being unreasonable, he would definitely stop replying!
If you have other options, you wouldn't need to waste time talking to me.
The current reality is that Li Xuefeng is still willing to bargain with him, which shows that he not only has the confidence to produce ten barrels of water!
And he was also genuinely in urgent need of this weapon!
Are you kidding me... you've shown your need so strongly...
If I don't extort you, who will I extort?
Either 10 barrels, or the transaction is canceled!
Zhang Chen replied with a firm attitude.
