Chapter 12: Drones take off, campfire perimeter

After studying the drone blueprints.

There are only five fire crystals left.

To make drones, there is still enough iron for the moment, and there is some left over from the last crafting workbench, enough for five.

But the alloys, and the five plastics, would have to be exchanged at the market again to make it work.

As for the resources Xu Jingnian could currently take out in exchange, other than the clawed beast’s sharp claws, the only thing left was the fire crystals.

It’s something that really can’t be saved.

Luckily, the two current blueprints, which required common materials, weren’t too hard to exchange.

But anything that is more precious will cost more blood.

Just like Xu Jingnian himself, there was no way he could take out something good to trade, just like these drawings, there was no way he could take them to trade.

By the same token, if you want to take it out of someone’s hands, you have to have the chips in place to do so.

It’s kind of lucky, too.

Xu Jingnian opened the trade market, but this time it was a little different, and he realized that everyone had set a name for themselves.

Things like King of the Twin Wolves, Forest Bull*, Piggyback Riding Girl …… and the like are no longer just individual items.

More like a groundhog.

“In that case, what should I call myself if I get a nickname too?”

Think about it.

He calls himself–

Ore sellers.

After reforming the trading market a bit like this, finding some items became a bit better.

For example, Xu Jingnian specifically looking for the “grocer” with the name, very easy to find the alloy and plastic he wanted.

He looked around and saw that the man had traded a number of things, but all of them were miscellaneous items.

There are no transcendental resources either.

[Ore Vendor: Without further ado, one fire crystal, transcendent resources, everything I’ll take it all.]

[Grocer in the Mist: Fire crystals? It’s a transcendental resource, but I’ve got a bit of everything ……]

[Ore Vendor: No Exchange?]

Xu Jingnian did not expect, a fire crystal, for a bunch of groceries, food and drink these important resources are not, this person actually want to pull.

Trying to put me at a disadvantage?

Then replace it!

[Grocer in the Mist: Switch! Swap! It’s just that I have a request to ask you for a trade lock bit with each other.]

[Ore Vendor: What do you mean?]

[Grocer in the Mist: Don’t you know? The trading market was updated once, and now everyone can lock in ten trading spots, so it’ll be easy to find me from now on.]

Xu Jingnian understood, so it was something like the buddy bit.

It seemed that this grocer was looking at his own outburst of fire crystals and was worth befriending, thinking that he would have the opportunity to trade in the future.

So ask for a locking bit.

Otherwise the trading marketplace of billions of people, basically traded once, is unlikely to be found again.

[Ore seller: Row.]

Xu Jingnian thought about it, and he could indeed get a grocer’s lock bit, and later on, when he got some more blueprints, he would be able to look for him to exchange for materials if he needed them.

After the deal was made, Xu Jingnian locked down the “Misty Grocer”, and his name appeared on the far left of the trading panel.

The deal is done.

Fire crystals minus one, four left.

When the mist around the campfire cleared, Xu Jingnian saw an additional pile of rags in his homestead.

There’s everything; a kettle, tennis rackets, evil god artifacts, a mechanical keyboard, and even a refrigerator!

Xu Jingnian was once again puzzled, he thought he and the others had come to the other world, but why were there so many familiar items again?

It’s weird.

Xu Jingnian couldn’t figure it out so he didn’t think about it, picking up the kettle on the ground and coming over to the workbench, placing it on top of the drone drawings.

[Plastic*2 + Alloy*1, added successfully!]

[Workbench Production: Heat Sensing Drone]

[Remaining materials required: iron*5, plastic*3]

Afterward, Xu Jingnian brought all the iron tools from before and placed them on the workbench.

[Iron*5, added successfully!

[Remaining materials needed: plastic*3]

It’s just a matter of getting to the end.

Xu Jingnian turned his head to look at the groceries on the floor, thought for a moment, and picked up three inferior Evil God hand puppets with abstract expressions and put them on the workbench.

[Plastic*3, added successfully!

[The materials needed for the heat-sensing drone are complete and the workbench is in the process of being built ……]

Buzz!

A circle of blue light surfaced on the worktable and all the materials on the table began to spin and merge, like a drum washing machine ……

After a while.

A small, black-painted drone lay flat on top of the workbench.

“What a metaphysical production ……”

Xu Jingnian had to sigh.

He then picked up the drone, studied it, and fumbled for the button to activate it before a panel immediately appeared in front of him.

It’s the footage seen by the drone.

Xu Jingnian thought, and suddenly the drone followed his thoughts, its rotors turning and flying into the air.

With his thoughts, the drone began to hover in the air, floating up and down, nimble as a bird of prey.

“This stuff is good!”

Xu Jingnian was once again surprised that he could maneuver with just his thoughts and fly as much as he wanted.

He immediately looked beyond the mists.

Buzz ……

The drone swooshed out and disappeared into the mist.

Xu Jingnian then looked at the panel in front of him, following the images captured by the drone.

Only, the Death Mist even insulates most of the heat, and the heat-sensing drones can probe very close.

Only about 20 or 30 meters ……

He started by having the drone hover around the perimeter of the campfire.

From the transmission back.

Able to be seen, at the edge of the brightly lit campfire, which was in the mist, was a huge mass of heat, the terrifying beast!

“It’s still out there!”

Xu Jingnian turned his head to look at the edge of the mists, but unfortunately, he couldn’t see through anything but the pitch-black mists of death.

And the drone’s heat sensing picks up the behemoth, standing still outside the campfire.

If he didn’t have this talent, Xu Jingnian would have wondered if he was some kind of Everlasting Body!

Why else would he be so popular with the beasts? Because his meat tastes good, doesn’t it?

No one else in the chat had encountered the beast blocking the door, just him, or twice in a row!

Of course, in fact, Xu Jingnian is also clear that this is only the survivor bias, really encountered blocking the door, did not find it dead.

Naturally, I won’t say it in chat.

Continuing to maneuver the drone deeper into the mists, Xu Jingnian wanted to see what kind of terrain he had near this campfire.

With drone exploration.

He noticed that near this campfire, there seemed to be an entire plain, very flat terrain with no undulations at all.

Before the drone could get more than a few hundred meters out, Xu Jingnian spotted another superbeast!

It was radiating heat, and could not even be detected in its entirety by the drone’s dozens of meters of heat sensing alone!

“What the hell?”

Xu Jingnian’s scalp tingled.

Not daring to let the drone fly around the super-beast, he maneuvered back towards the other side of the campfire’s counterpart to the mists.

However, it’s the same!

The drone hadn’t even flown a few hundred meters before it spotted another another super-beast.

Looking at the heat-sensitive image that came back from the drone, the giant beast whose size was completely beyond the detection distance.

Xu Jingnian was confused.

His bonfire. Where the hell is it?

How the neighborhood is full of giant beasts!

That’s if the mists riot in a month’s time, causing this pack of behemoths to attack this little homestead of his ……

It will not be razed to the ground!
