A world full of tips

As the fog cleared, the area chat channel exploded!

"The fog is gone! I see myself in a forest, what kind of place is this? There's nothing but wood!"

"Forest!!! You're already lucky enough! I'm in a desert, there's nothing but fucking sand!"

"Wahhh~ I seem to be on a cliff, my hut is at the top of the cliff, what should I do?"

"I'm lucky, I'm by a river. There are mountains and water, and even fish!"

"It seems like I'm in an abandoned building. It looks like a city, but not really."

"I envy you, big brother. Please go find someone where you are. If you find the police, please report to them and have them come find me. There will be a reward!"

The chat channel refreshed at a faster speed. However, Andrew didn't have time to pay attention to these messages because he found that the range of the fog clearing was only about ten meters. Beyond that, it was still a white foggy state. Although the fog was much thinner than before the sun appeared, it was still considered a heavy fog.

Where he happened to be was the junction of a forest and grassland. He couldn't see beyond his exploration range. Did this mean that his exploration range was limited to just ten meters around the hut?

He picked up the only weapon in the hut, a broken stone axe.

Andrew walked out of the grass hut. But when he was about to move forward, he saw a prompt in front of him.

[Straight ahead: You can harvest some dry grass, and there are some short pines 15 meters ahead that can be cut down without danger!]

What is this? It can even warn him of danger?

Andrew quickly looked in the other two directions.

Sure enough!

[To the west: there is a dead tree with a squirrel hole on it, where many pine cones are hidden!]

[But I think you probably don't want to go there because there is a sleeping cheetah under the tree. With only a broken stone axe, you have no chance of winning against it. If you want to take the risk of losing a hand or a leg, you can try your luck.]

Only a fool would fight a cheetah with a broken axe.

If he had a gun or a bow, he might consider it!

Turn around! Next direction!

[To the east: there are many dead branches, which are good materials for your campfire! But there is a swift wind snake under the branches, waiting to attack. Be careful!]

[To the south: there is a hidden bronze chest in the green grass, with no danger.

Bronze chest: What's inside? You won't know until you open it!]

Tsk tsk.

Is this his own cheat code?

Andrew could see all the dangers and good things no matter where they were. He found a bronze chest hidden in the green grassland! If it wasn't for the red exclamation mark, he would never have found such a good thing hidden in the waist-high grass. Compared to the other three directions, Andrew naturally chose the treasure chest!

Soon, he arrived at the spot where the prompt appeared. He pushed aside the half-high pasture and saw a flashing copper box underneath, with a large copper lock holding the lid tightly closed.

[Bronze chest: there are some ores inside, no danger, do you want to open it?]

Since there was no danger, of course, he would open it! Just as Andrew silently thought of opening it, the large lock on the bronze chest automatically disappeared, and the lid of the chest automatically popped open, revealing a large number of stones with a shimmering metallic luster inside.

[Flint: can be used for fire, is an extremely precious material in the wilderness!]

[Do you want to collect it?]

Collect!

[Flint +20]

[System prompt: the chest is automatically disassembled, bronze +10]

This entire chest was filled with Flintstones?

Andrew's eyes lit up immediately, even though he wouldn't be able to use all of them himself. He remembered that the magic book had a trading channel.

He took out the magic book. The time reminder on it had already changed!

[Time: 08:12, only 3 hours and 48 minutes left until the mist sets in. Please be sure to leave enough time to return home and don't get lost in the mist.]

This non-mist time seemed way too short. There were only four hours of outdoor time.

Andrew had already wasted 12 minutes looking for this bronze treasure chest.

Fortunately, he had obtained an entire box of flint stones. If they could be traded, they should be able to be exchanged for many useful resources!

He opened the magic book and silently recited the trading channel.

Immediately, Andrew saw the content of the trading channel gradually appear on the originally blank page of the magic book.

[Trading Channel]

[Dry wood*2: Does anyone want this? I'll exchange it for some food. Anything will do!]

(Message: This is the garbage you start with, there's barely enough to start a fire. Who would want to exchange with you?)

(Response: If you don't want to exchange, then don't exchange. Shut your mouth and get lost!)

[Wood*1: Exchange for a piece of meat, I'm starving!] "

(Message: Whoever has food is the boss now. You actually want meat? You must be delusional!)

(Reply: Do you know how hard it is to chop wood? I spent more than ten minutes on this!)

[Poor quality stone axe: Selling weapon, just give me some food.]

(Message: If you sell the stone axe, how are you going to chop wood?)

(Reply: None of your business!)

[Apple*1: Exchange for 100 pieces of wood. Available now! Discount available, private message me.]

(Message: Are you crazy? It takes at least half an hour to chop down a tree for 100 pieces of wood, who has that many?)

(Message: I have 100 pieces of wood, I upgraded to a small wooden house already. I don't need to trade with you, you lunatic.)

(Message: Can I exchange one piece of wood? I'm so hungry! The trees here are so hard to chop!)

(Reply: I heard that someone opened a chest and got a lot of wood. Since you guys don't have any wood, then stop talking and go find some!)

Clicking on each trade information, Andrew could also see some people's comments and various ridicule. Without wasting too much time, Andrew quickly browsed through the basic information in the trading channel!

He quickly collected some useful information among these messages. 100 pieces of wood can be used to upgrade a small wooden house! This is good!

Andrew continued to wonder how these traders knew about the wood house upgrade. Suddenly, he remembered that the magic book had a channel called upgrade tree before. Could it be that there were some tips there?

He silently repeated the words "Upgrade Tree" in his mind, and soon enough, the magic book automatically displayed information about upgrading trees!
