Who Else but You?
It seems that the amount of [Wood] collected from trees is determined by the thickness of the trees.
The thicker the tree, the more wood is obtained!
Continue!
Collect!
Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained [Wood]*2!
Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained [Wood]*4, [Sprouting Twig]*1!
...
Henry collected all the trees in the alley and in total, he obtained [Wood]*240, [Sprouting Twig]*65
[Sprouting Twig]: Can be planted in the soil to grow into a tree!
[Once the next phase of system suppression is lifted, non-mutated trees will become a rare resource. Make good use of them!]
The prompt suddenly popped up!
Initially, Henry had planned to discard these [Sprouting Twigs]!
With trees everywhere, who needs them?
But after seeing the prompt, Henry suddenly understood.
That means in 30 days, all plants will mutate!
These trees might very well become man-eating...
When it comes to making tools, fences, and such.
You really can't do without non-mutated trees!
Next, it's time to make the [Precise Longbow]!
[Precise Longbow Blueprint]: Consumes [Wood]*10, [Energy Cores]*1, to create
[Precise Longbow]!
[Arrow Blueprint]: Consumes [Wood]*1, to create [Arrows]*20!
Ding! You have used [Wood]*10, [Energy Cores]*1!
Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained [Precise Longbow]*1!
Ding! You have used [Wood]*10, [Energy Cores]*1!
Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained [Precise Longbow]*1!
Ding! You have used [Wood]*1, [Energy Cores]*1!
Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained [Precise Longbow]*1!
...
Henry directly used 20 [Energy Cores] and 200 [Wood], producing twenty [Precise Longbows]!
Opening the chat channel:
"Anyone interested in a [Precise Longbow]? Comes with [Arrows]*10, DM me if you're interested! Bring your own price!"
At this time, the survivors were all pumped up from the video of the heavy truck crushing zombies!
Everyone wanted to kill a few zombies to show their prowess.
But many, even though they had kitchen knives, were still too scared to go outside.
After all, this is close combat!
If a single strike doesn't kill a zombie, it could mean death for them!
Too risky!
So, when Henry posted about the [Precise Longbow], the chat room instantly boiled over!
"Damn, a ranged weapon, that's awesome!"
"Arrows auto-aim? Even if you can't shoot, you can hit the target? Definitely a god-tier weapon!"
"Guys, we have to go out and kill zombies. Staying put is a death sentence sooner or later, let's take a chance!"
"Right, a gamble might turn a bike into a motorcycle!"
"Does anyone know the price of this longbow? Any brothers who've made a deal, can you share your experience?"
At this moment, Henry's private chat was flooded with people.
"Can I borrow the bow and arrows first? I'll pay you back with Energy Cores after killing some zombies, how about that?"
"I also want the bow and arrows, see what you want? Maybe we can video call, I'll follow your commands, it'll be fun!~"
"I only have half a stick of sausage, would that work?"
...
Henry outright ignored these freeloaders.
Are you kidding me?
I spent 10 pieces of wood and 1 Energy Core to make these weapons, and they want them for free?
Crazy!
With so many survivors, there will definitely be someone who can meet the price!
"I have 5 Energy Cores, would that work for a trade?"
The speaker was a man in military uniform, looking sharp.
His name was Nelson.
"Sure, let's trade!" Henry nodded.
It wasn't so much that the price of 5 Energy Cores was reasonable. The main reason Henry agreed was that he saw this man's formidable combat capabilities. If he took the bow and arrows, he would definitely kill more zombies. That way, there would be Energy Cores to exchange for Henry's [Arrows]!
Indeed, Henry wasn't really counting on selling bows and arrows to earn cores from the start. If he wanted a long-term gain, it would definitely depend on the [Arrows]! These are consumables. And without [Arrows], a bow is useless. Want to keep killing zombies? Then come buy arrows! That's the right way to harvest!
"I have a skill book, [Basic Eye of Insight], are you interested?"
[Basic Eye of Insight]: Allows you to visually see the strength level of opponents within a range of three levels above or below your own strength! Clearly seeing other survivors' strengths is absolutely crucial.
However, in the early days of the apocalypse, this item isn't as valuable as a bow and arrows. Zombies' strength is evident, is insight really needed? And when encountering other survivors, strength is generally measured by numbers.
More people naturally mean more power, and early stage strength differences can't compensate for numerical discrepancies. Trading solidly for a bow and arrows and safely killing a few more zombies is the way to go!
"Okay! Let's trade!"
Ding! You have traded your [Precise Longbow] for the skill [Basic Eye of Insight]!
"I have a 10-liter jug of purified water, would that be an acceptable trade?"
A 10-liter jug of purified water? Henry clicked on the item and immediately a picture popped up.
It was the type of bottled water commonly used at home. Being able to offer a 10-liter jug of water in exchange for a weapon suggested this guy definitely had more than one jug at his disposal.
Henry, intrigued, replied: "I want 10 jugs!"
"Ah? 10 jugs won't work, 2 jugs, at most two jugs!"
Indeed, this person was also in a dilemma.
His name is Shawn.
Henry was right; Shawn was indeed trapped at a water station.
The room was stacked with over a dozen jugs of purified water.
Water supply was not a problem for him.
The real issue was that he couldn't sell it!
Others sold water by the bottle.
If he listed a whole jug at once, not to mention that no one could afford it, it would also make him a target for other survivors!
The most crucial point was that currently, food and water were priceless.
Anyone who could afford to pay with cores had the ability to kill zombies and could find their own food and water, so there was no need to trade precious cores for it.
Those who needed water couldn't afford to pay with cores.
It was a truly awkward situation.
Shawn also knew that only by killing zombies and becoming stronger could he survive better in the apocalypse.
The auto-targeting bow and arrows naturally became a divine weapon for killing zombies!
With it, Shawn felt he had a foundation to stand on in the apocalypse.
That's what gave him the courage to privately message Henry.
But who knew that upon contacting Henry, he would immediately ask for 10 jugs!
Wasn't that like robbery?
"10 jugs, not one less!"
"I only have about a dozen jugs of water, if you take 10 all at once, how am I supposed to survive later on?"
Henry wasn't just making an outrageous demand.
He could tell from Shawn's language that there was hesitation in his heart.
If Shawn really thought Henry was being unreasonable, he would have stopped replying altogether!
You have other options, so there's no need to waste words with me.
The truth was, Shawn was still willing to negotiate, which indicated that not only did he have the confidence to part with ten jugs of water, but he also genuinely needed the weapon!
Jokingly... when you make your needs known so strongly...
Who else but you?
"Either ten jugs or cancel the trade!"
Henry replied firmly.
