Chapter 11: Acquisition Blueprints, Drones?

The Misty World is dark.

There are still terrifying behemoths roaming around out there!

The favored beasts had gone down the mine again, and with only the campfire around for company, Xu Jingnian had little sense of the passage of time.

The Shadow Bat Skin that was on the trading market quickly paid off.

With this bat skin, he traded for a box of meat loaf buns, a seed of an unknown plant, and a large bag of bone-strengthening dog food.

“It’s getting better, too.”

Xu Jingnian sighed.

As time went on, everyone gradually started to develop and become more resourceful.

As for the underdeveloped ones, they’ve probably finished their Mona soup and reincarnated by now ……

Xu Jingnian didn’t know just how big the entire Misty World was, nor did he know just how many people were left today.

All he knew was that the more developed everyone else was, the better it would be for him, as long as they didn’t drastically outgrow themselves.

As usual, wait for the mists to clear.

On the ground right next to the campfire was a cardboard box sealed with duct tape and a bag of dog food that was probably knee-high.

It should be okay for a pangolin to eat dog food …… right?

It was mainly because Xu Jingnian wanted to eat something that people ate, and as for the bag of dog food, it was just him not wanting to lose out and bargaining with the man who traded it to get it.

Of course, there was also the seed of this unknown plant, and Xu Jingnian also planned to plant one, not for any other reason than to give life more hope.

Unwrapping a small loaf of bread, Xu Jingnian swallowed it in one bite, feeling the flavor of meat floss filling his mouth.

“That’s what people eat!”

He glowed at the thought that it would be nice to switch to bubbly, that would just be too good for this environment.

Burying the seeds again in the soil away from the campfire, a panel popped up in front of him:

[Z Plant Seed]

[Growth Progress: 0%]

[Current status: Stopped growing (water and soil are not suitable, can be solved by transplanting to nutrient-rich soil ……)]

“Need nutrient-rich soil?”

After thinking about it, Xu Jingnian brought the last bit of pork sausage that the little one had left over.

He pinched his nose, and with the other sharp clawed material he hadn’t made, he turned over the large intestine and poured the juice all over the land on the seed.

[Z Plant Seed]

[Growth Progress: 0%]

[Current status: Stopped growing (water and soil are not suitable, can be solved by transplanting to nutrient-rich soil ……)]

Unfortunately, nothing works.

“Maybe the nutrients haven’t soaked into the soil yet?”

Xu Jingnian wasn’t in a hurry, he had just traded for this kind of sub after hearing from the person he traded with that this kind of sub wouldn’t die.

He had plenty of time to wait.

……

Xu Jingnian laid down on his bed and fell asleep again in a daze, and when he woke up, he felt that his state was not right.

The throat rebels when you swallow.

“No way?”

Unbelieving, Xu Jingnian performed the swallowing maneuver once again, finding some slight pain and a clear sense of obstruction.

“It’s over, I’m going to catch a cold!”

Xu Jingnian opened the [Chat] panel and realized that quite a few people had started complaining about their throats as well:

“Someone save me, it was so hard to barely survive with my favored beast, and now I have a fever, I feel like I’m going to ascend to heaven!”

“Me too, my throat is very uncomfortable right now, it looks like I’m coming down with a cold, and I can’t get any cold medicine for it in the trading market ……”

“If your throat is already uncomfortable, you’re not catching a cold, you’re catching a cold already, and you’re probably going to be sick until you drink the medicine now, so there’s no way to avoid it!”

“Brothers and sisters who are in a position to do so, the Misty World is generally chilly, so please turn up the campfire range, it’ll be better that way!”

During the chat, many people showed the pre-symptoms of a cold.

It’s fine when you first arrive, but mainly after a good night’s sleep, especially if you don’t have a bed and have to make do on the floor, you basically have to get sick.

And Xu Jingnian was even worse.

Didn’t escape a cold even with a bed ……

He opened the trading market and rummaged around, but he couldn’t find any trading cold medicine.

After all, if you use ordinary resources to exchange them, the others will definitely not exchange them, so you might as well keep them for your own use.

Unless it was traded for transcendent resources, but Xu Jingnian didn’t want to waste it.

In this situation, the other party will definitely take advantage of the situation and just sit on the ground!

It’s impossible to take a loss!

Xu Jingnian chose to fight it, it’s just a small cold ……

He sat curled up on the bed with a fire going, and after a while the little pangolin came out of the hole in the ground.

It harvested another fire crystal!

“Good job, little guy.”

Xu Jingnian stroked its head and took the fire crystals from his little pawpaw, preparing to take it to the silver treasure chest for storage when he realized that there were so many more fire crystals.

Together with this one in hand, there are actually ……

[Fire Crystal*14]

At this moment, Xu Jingnian deeply realized how cool it was for a favored beast to not have to rest!

How long has he been asleep?

[Homestead bonfire]

[Illumination range: twenty meters in diameter (changeable …… currently consumes 50 points of firewood per hour)]

[Remaining firewood: 12966↓]

[Estimated burn time: 259 hours ……]

[Current level: Level 1 (no special effect)]

Xu Jingnian did some calculations based on the time of the campfire and realized that he had slept for more than three hours!

No wonder ……

While he was sleeping, the little pangolin was digging non-stop for a moment!

Looking at the fourteen fire crystals in the box, Xu Jingnian’s heart flamed.

It seemed that the slight effects of the cold were swept away!

“Little man, you must be treated!”

Xu Jingnian put a piece of jerky in the stone basin for the pangolin and poured dog food and mineral water over it.

This feast.

The little guy was clearly happier eating than a pork sausage, and apparently, he doesn’t like offal either.

It’s okay!

Xu Jingnian was satisfied.

Just enjoy the dog food, we’re all single ……

The pangolin raised its head and looked at Xu Jingnian with soulful eyes, indicating that it was still a baby ……

After the favored beasts finished eating, Xu Jingnian once again looked at the panel:

[Favored Animal: Chinese Pangolin]

[Real name: unnamed]

[Attribute: Gold]

[Level: Cub 1st Order (57%↑)]

[Skills: None]

[Specialty: Digging]

Not bad!

This doggy meal seems to have grown even faster than the previous pig innards, maybe because of the nutrient richness?

After that, the pangolin went back to digging.

Xu Jingnian, on the other hand, was filled with excitement as he took the nine fire crystals and came to the workbench.

Consuming fire crystals*9, the workbench is successfully energized!

[Current energy: 100 points.]

“Enough!”

Without hesitation, Xu Jingnian directly spaced out and tapped the button on the workbench’s panel that made him incredibly expectant.

Only the wooden-edged, iron clad workbench suddenly glowed with a circle of blue light.

Buzz!

A ball of energy coalesced on the countertop, spinning wildly and eventually turning into a blue drawing.

[100 points of energy consumed, blueprints learned successfully!]

Xu Jingnian picked up the drawing and took a look:

[Thermal Sensor Drone Blueprint: Flexible small drone with thermal sensor imaging and a maximum maneuvering range of one thousand meters! Repeatable at the workbench]

[Required materials: Iron*5, Alloy*1, Plastic*5]

“It’s actually a drone, or is it heat-sensitive?”

Xu Jingnian was a bit surprised as he looked at the drawings, and he then looked beyond the mists to the unknown area beyond the bonfire.

Finally a look around the neighborhood ……
