43: Ji Chaoyang
tarting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse: Chapter 43: Ji ChaoyangChapter 43: Ji ChaoyangXu Xin has been thinking, even if he made a bow and arrow, at the level he has never touched a bow, can he really hit the target?
So when he saw the introduction of this crossbow, Xu Xin felt that this weapon was made for people like him.
Although it is indeed a hassle to wind a bow and arrow compared to a bow with a good bow, but he is not a good bow, and the crossbow in his hand must be much more powerful than the bow and arrow.
It is this animal tendon...
He doesn't need the iron spear for the time being, because his blue-grade stone spear is enough to pierce the body of the beast, and its durability is even higher.
Continuing to look at it, iron armor suits have already appeared in the armor.
[Iron scale armor (green): Iron armor can resist the attacks of ordinary beasts, and it will be very heavy to wear on the body. ]
[Iron Greaves (Green): Iron leggings. Because of the large weight, it will slightly affect the speed. ]
[Iron helmet (green): Iron helmet. Don't twist your neck all the time, or you'll get sprained easily. The vision will be slightly damaged after wearing it. ]
[Iron boots (green): Iron boots. Any beast can't get enough of a kick, as long as you can lift your foot while wearing it. ]
As expected of a heavy armor suit, with full body defense, it can withstand the attacks of ordinary beasts, but its shortcomings are also obvious. It is too heavy, and it is not necessarily suitable for ordinary people.
But Xu Xin felt that with his body that has been strengthened several times now, it shouldn't be a problem to wear iron armor. Although it will reduce the weight of his backpack in disguise, his own safety is still the most important thing.
Xu Xin sent Li Wenxi a message that he wanted to trade iron ore, but the other side did not reply.
Maybe she hasn't come back from outside, otherwise, with her personality, seeing that she is number one, I'm afraid a video has already come over.
Xu Xin looked at her private message, and it exploded because she was the number one in the rankings. Countless people sent him greetings and wanted to hug his thighs. Some people asked him what was in the treasure chest, and others wanted to. To trade with him, and even ask him for supplies.
Xu Xin ignored it.
However, one of the private messages caught his attention.
Ji Chaoyang. The one who, like him, found the treasure chest.
"You already know the secrets of this world, right?" The conversation sent over there made his heart skip a beat.
Sure enough, his conjecture was correct. Those who found the treasure chest would definitely know the secrets of the world.
He considered it for a while, and sent a message: "Yes, near the treasure chest."
The opposite side quickly replied, "I want to cooperate with you."
He said what Xu Xin also wanted to say, so Xu Xin replied, "How do you want to cooperate?"
"The first is to exchange information. Voice call, okay?" The opposite side looked polite.
Xu Xin made a direct voice call.
There was an instant answer. Xu Xin could hear the sound of breathing over the voice, but neither of them spoke first.
Xu Xin still has some scruples. Although it can be inferred from Ji Chaoyang's words that he also knows the secrets of the world, but the world is so mysterious, who can guarantee that the secrets they both know are the same?
If it wasn't the same one, wouldn't exchanging information with him violate the rule that the mysterious voice said "Don't share the secrets of the world with those who don't know the secrets"?
It was the other side who spoke first, with a low and magnetic voice, like a radio voice: "Underworld. Do you know what I'm talking about?"
A slight smile appeared on Xu Xin's mouth, and she said, "Hello, Ji Chaoyang, I have admired your name for a long time. You led everyone through the first beast riot."
Hearing Xu Xin's reply, the tone on the other side became a little more relaxed: "I've won the prize. On the premise of not harming my own interests, I can help a little bit. Everyone is a compatriot."
"Your consciousness is quite high."
From this sentence alone, Xu Xin has roughly analyzed Ji Chaoyang's character. He is not the kind of high-ranking person who ruthlessly steps up on other people's corpses, nor is he the kind of Virgin who is sympathetic and must help others, but a person in between.
Well, a normal person.
Of course, it is not excluded that he is pretending to listen to himself.
"Haha." Ji Chaoyang laughed, and then the tone of the voice became more serious, "What do you want to say about the underground world I just said, Xu Xin?"
Now that they know the secret of the two is the same, Xu Xin doesn't care, and said: "I did see the underground world near the treasure chest, I think, at present, only you and I know about this matter. Bar?"
"Well, since it was my proposal for cooperation, let me first express my sincerity." Seeing that Xu Xin gave him a positive answer, he first expressed his stance, "I found a way to The underground passage, after I went all the way, I saw a lot of huge monsters in the underground world."
"It's like an enlarged version of the monster on the ground guarding the treasure chest." Xu Xin interjected.
"Yes! It seems that my experience is similar to yours. Phew... I'm relieved. I'm afraid that I will be punished by that voice for speaking out."
The opposite side was obviously relieved, and then continued: "This is Xu Xin, I observed the contents of the copper treasure chest, and also asked a few survivors who obtained the silver treasure chest, and the answers they gave were the same. That is to say, for this event, the materials in the treasure chests of the same level are the same."
"In order to show my sincerity, I can tell you that the resources in my treasure chest are [Special Treehouse Root Potion] and [Metal Products Automatic Unlock Contract~www.readwn.com~ It seems that the opposite side is really sincere, so Xu Xin also said: "The former can expand the protection scope of the tree house, while the latter needs to obtain all the raw materials to unlock the formula. "
"Yes, you and I deduced the same. It seems that we are the same kind of people."
Infer? Oh, by the way, there is no object identification ability on the opposite side, and the real function of the materials cannot be directly seen.
Fortunately, the opponent is smart, otherwise it will be exposed. Xu Xin couldn't help but feel ashamed.
"To tell you the truth, I want to build a small organization with the two of us as the center. The current thinking is that all the members of the organization are survivors who have at least obtained the silver treasure chest." Ji Chaoyang told Xu Xin and his plans.
"Bringing all the current powerhouses together, members within the organization can more easily trade materials with each other, share information, and benefit from each other."
"At the same time, at present, only the winner of the silver treasure chest can add weapons and protective facilities to the tree house, and only you and I can make high-level metal weapons and armor."
"We can negotiate a reasonable price together, sell these advanced weapons and equipment to others, let other ordinary people who have not obtained silver treasure chests profit with us, and at the same time we can obtain low-level basic materials from them through trading , no need to waste your time cutting down or digging."
Listening to Ji Chaoyang's plan, Xu Xin gradually admired this man who was only 30 years old.
While he was still thinking about his own affairs, this man was already thinking about more long-term and stable matters.
"I understand, the strategy team, right?" Xu Xin smiled and thought for a while, "Then I have a few questions to ask you. If the answers satisfy me, I will join the organization you mentioned."
"you say."
.

44: Cooperation, speculation about the world"First, there are nine people in total, including you and me, who have obtained the silver treasure chest. How do you convince the other seven people to join this organization?"
Ji Chaoyang may have long thought that Xu Xin would ask this question, and said in a relaxed tone: "Among the other nine people, the third, fifth and seventh are the ones I have been communicating with during the novice protection period, and they are also The silver treasure chest obtained with my help, so we only need to get the remaining four people, the key to this matter lies in you."
"I?"
Hearing Ji Chaoyang's words, Xu Xin was secretly shocked.
There are only nine people who have obtained the silver treasure chest, and four people, including Ji Chaoyang himself, are related to him!
This man is really a big guy!
"Yes, if you join our organization, then in the entire 188 area, only we can make metal weapons, armor and tools. I believe you have seen those things, and the performance of the green class is basically better than that of the previous ones. Blue tier equipped.
At present, iron ore and other metal ores are scarce, we only have two people, and the production capacity is insufficient. So if we declare to the public that the metal tools that the two of us have produced are only open to trade within the organization, how do you think they will choose?
As the top ten in the event, they must want to become stronger. Not to mention that we are all strong in the organization, and the exchange of resources and information must be much more efficient than their own exploration.
At the same time, our organization does not have any mandatory requirements, so there is no harm at all, so why not do it? "
Good guy, a monopoly, right? A bit of a capitalist.
Xu Xin nodded secretly. There is nothing wrong with what Ji Chaoyang said. Even Xu Xin himself would definitely join this kind of organization. According to him, the only limitation may be the unified pricing of materials.
But there are nine people who have obtained the silver treasure chest, which is not a lot.
"Then the second question, how do the members of the organization communicate?"
Ji Chaoyang smiled and said, "You must have been in contact with very few people these days, Xu Xin."
"It's really not much."
"After the novice protection period, the treehouse has opened up a function similar to group chat. At present, everyone can only join one group chat. I was in the same group chat with the three people who got the silver treasure chest before. We can form a new one. Group chat." Ji Chaoyang explained.
"Can I ask how you helped them find the silver treasure chest?" Xu Xin was very curious about this, because the process of getting the silver treasure box was very strange, and he didn't know if other people were like him.
"Of course you can, you also got your silver treasure chest in the stream, right?"
"Yes."
"I just told them that my silver treasure chest is in the stream, let them explore along the stream, and be careful of the monsters in the stream. You should have noticed that the location of the treasure chest makes the flow of the stream slow. The sound of the water is slightly different."
The stream has slowed down? The sound of running water? Xu Xin frowned and thought back.
no? The stream was still so turbulent, and he didn't pay much attention to the sound of the water. Could it be that the terrifying crocodile he encountered was different from others?
"Are all the silver treasure chests in the stream?" Xu Xin continued to ask.
"I don't know, there are actually a few people in that group chat, but only the three of them found the treasure chest."
"Then what monsters did you encounter in the stream? I'm a crocodile." Xu Xin asked tentatively, concealing the fact that the crocodile didn't attack him.
The terrifying crocodile didn't attack him, and even gave him a silver treasure chest for nothing, which made Xu Xin feel more and more strange.
"My side is a big tortoise as big as the round table. It was lying on the bottom of the stream. As soon as I got close, it suddenly attacked me. Fortunately, I quickly blocked it, but it still directly bit my weapon." Ji Chaoyang's tone was a little heartbroken, "That's a blue-grade weapon! Fortunately, the turtle was turned into pieces because of the protection of the tree house, otherwise I might have been carried there too."
Sure enough, the terrifying crocodile that Xu Xin encountered was really different.
A turtle as big as a dining table is indeed huge, but at most it counts as the crocodile's tooth sacrifice.
What the **** is that crocodile? His red dot is also not shown on the map.
When he was in the underground world, all those monsters could appear on the map. Could it be that this giant crocodile is not an underground creature?
"How about Xu Xin, are you interested in creating this organization with me?" Ji Chaoyang couldn't help asking when Xu Xin was silent for a long time.
"It's a pleasure to work with." Xu Xin replied.
"Haha, happy cooperation!" Ji Chaoyang smiled and clapped his hands, "When the time is right, I will set up a group chat to pull you in. By the way, can we make a video? I don't know what you look like, and some things are face-to-face. It's more appropriate to talk."
"Of course." Xu Xin was also very interested in Ji Chaoyang's appearance.
The two connected to the video, and Xu Xin finally saw Ji Chaoyang's appearance. He was a very gentle-looking young man with a handsome appearance and meticulous hairstyle. He was wearing a two-piece novice suit just like Xu Xin. Unlike Xu Xin, his clothes looked much cleaner and tidy than Xu Xin, and they should have been specially taken care of.
"You look quite handsome." Ji Chaoyang was stunned when he saw Xu Xin's appearance, maybe he didn't expect Xu Xin's appearance to be so attractive.
"To be honest, I thought you were the brawny type at first." Xu Xin also replied with a smile.
"Haha. We will be partners in the future. Now let's talk about things that only the two of us know." Ji Chaoyang's expression became serious, "Xu Xin, what do you think about those monsters in the underground world?"
"We will definitely meet them in the future, which is very likely the reason why we came to this world." Xu Xin expressed his opinion, "Now even on the ground, if it is not within the protection range of the tree house, it will Attacked by these underground creatures, they are all-pervasive, and they are our real enemies relative to the beasts."
"I agree with this, but Xu Xin, have you ever thought that these monsters attacking us on the ground and those underground are really the same group of monsters?"
"What do you mean?" Xu Xin frowned.
"You should also have noticed that the monsters that attacked us on the ground and the monsters in the underground~www.readwn.com~ Although the types are similar, the difference in size is very large, and the monsters in the underground world are obviously much larger. "
"Well, that's true." To be honest, Xu Xin felt that the crocodile was not too small, but thinking of its particularity, she nodded in agreement with Ji Chaoyang's statement.
"And I observed for a long time on the edge of the cliff, and found that the monsters underground do not seem to have the ability to take off thousands of meters to the ground."
Xu Xin frowned even tighter: "You mean that the monsters that attacked us weren't those underground monsters?"
Ji Chaoyang pondered for a while and said: "Those monsters that attacked us should also live underground, but they don't live in the underground world we see, but in the soil under our feet, we should separate these two kinds of monsters. Look."
Xu Xin gradually cleared his mind: "You mean, there are three types of monsters, beasts on the ground, medium-sized monsters in the soil, and large-scale monsters underground?"
Although it is a medium-sized monster, it is still much larger than a beast, and the man-eating flower can easily be ten meters.
"Yes, and in my opinion, these monsters in the soil under our feet seem to be miniature monsters in the underground world, and they may have been artificially created and put here."
Xu Xin's eyes narrowed and she pondered for a while: "The purpose is to make us familiar with the underground monsters in advance?"
"That's right."
The two looked at each other, and both saw a little panic in each other's eyes.
They are probably really a bunch of guinea pigs.
Xu Xin suddenly thought of the skeleton underground.
They are not the first people to come to this world. Before them, there were others who came early.
Those people, are they survivors, or are they those who control the world?
.

45: No shortage of iron oreXu Xin was silent for a while, then said, "Anyway, what we need to consider now is the next beast riot. It's too early to think about these things."
"Yes, in fact, what I want to say is that if possible, try to help others without harming your own interests. All those who survive may be a force in the future."
"Then why didn't you tell those survivors in this event that gathering other materials is also counted in the resource ranking."
"You said that this time, 50 people are going to die. What else do you do for them? It's the best outcome to die for the stupidest 50."
Xu Xin likes Ji Chaoyang's character a bit.
Although it seems a little inhuman, but always make the most correct choice for the collective interests, this may be a natural leader.
After exchanging information again, the two hung up the video call.
From his mouth, Xu Xin learned that the survivors who ranked second to tenth in the ranking also got a watch, but their watches are not as fully functional as Xu Xin, only for communication, calls and videos. and viewing information, and cannot be produced, and even material transactions cannot be realized through watches.
After all, Xu Xin obtained a purple-level watch, and they were all blue-level. However, even the blue level is very convenient. When an organization is established, all members of the organization can communicate anytime, anywhere.
The organization was left to him to handle. Xu Xin can help to ask Li Wenxi.
After looking at the private messages, Xu Xin's head was about to explode. The thousands of private messages made him completely unable to read them. Most of them were still useless hugging and begging for resources, and even moral kidnapping. Start a voice and video call with him.
He quickly set that only Li Wenxi and Ji Chaoyang were allowed to send him audio and video.
I found Li Wenxi from a bunch of private messages. She still didn't reply to the iron ore transaction that Xu Xin sent to her.
Coco was also huddled in a ball on the bed and dozing off.
Xu Xin leisurely sat by the grill, threw the wood into the fireplace, and comfortably enjoyed a sumptuous dinner of bear meat and lotus root.
"Go down and plant those two kinds of trees." Xu Xin, who was full, was ready to do something.
Xu Xin took the fertilizer and two bags of seeds, and went down from the tree house to the land that had been opened before.
There are a lot of seeds in the bag, and Xu Xin doesn't know how many there are, just like no one knows how many melon seeds are in a bag of melon seeds.
Anyway, enough.
"Try the effect of fertilizer first." Xu Xin buried a birch seed in the soil, and a few seconds later, a small seedling slowly emerged from the soil. This is the normal growth rate of a seed, and it can grow into a large tree in ten days.
He looked at the fertilizer in his hand.
[Natural Organic Fertilizer (Green): Fertilizer that can transform barren soil (white) into ordinary soil (green), and sprinkle it on ordinary soil (green) to speed up the growth of plants, leaving 50 copies. ]
This bag of fertilizer is only 50 parts. Xu Xin carefully poured it on the small seedling.
[Successful fertilization, the birch growth time was shortened to 10 hours. ]
Shortened so much? !
Xu Xin was a little surprised. He also thought that if he could shorten it by half, he would be earning it. He didn't expect that ten days would change to ten hours.
It's not even seven o'clock in the evening, which means that he will be able to harvest new materials when he wakes up early tomorrow.
"This fertilizer is really a good thing. I don't know if anyone sells this kind of thing." Xu Xin immediately opened his watch and started searching for information on the trading platform.
It's a pity that no one has put up fertilizers for sale at present, but a bunch of people have exchanged green materials for the wolf meat he put on the shelves before. Xu Xin picked some stones and a few green iron ore to complete the transaction.
"The automatic weapons of the tree house need to use thin wood, and the defense facilities are logs, so let's start with half and half." Xu Xin planted thirty birches and thirty pine trees in the open space, and then scattered them. fertilizer.
Including the previous one, Xu Xin sprinkled twenty parts of fertilizer on ten birch trees and ten pine trees.
"According to poplar trees, each tree should produce five thin logs or logs, and ten of them are each fifty new materials, which can be harvested tomorrow morning. It is absolutely enough for me, so the fertilizer will be used first. Take it easy."
He made a simple wooden fence to surround the saplings. Xu Xin looked at the fruits of her labor and nodded with satisfaction.
Suddenly, Xu Xin's watch vibrated. He looked down and saw a video sent by Li Wenxi.
"Wow! Xu Xin, you are really a big guy! You are actually the number one in the whole district! No. 1! It's better than that Ji Chaoyang!" On the small screen projected on the watch, Li Wenxi was in a hurry, and the ear-to-ear There was still a little dust on her short hair, and her expression was very excited.
Sure enough, as Xu Xin expected, as soon as she came back and saw the ranking, she called herself a video.
"Aren't you fourth? I didn't expect you to be so strong." Xu Xin replied with a smile.
"Oh my, it's because... I'm lucky!" Li Wenxi stroked her head embarrassedly, "It's not like you are a real boss who can even find a treasure chest."
"Did you just come back?"
"Yeah, I was very excited when I found the silver treasure chest, so I continued to look for the treasure chest, but I didn't find it until the event was over, so I just came back." Li Wenxi's pretty face showed excitement, "In the end, I came back and took a look. , I am the fourth! You are the first! This is too strong!"
"Haha, congratulations, by the way, do you have a lot of iron over there?"
"Of course there are many. I don't have many wood plants here, but mines are abundant. Let me tell you, through the exploration of this activity, I found two more mines, and there are no beasts in them!" The little beauty raised her head on her hips. , come to praise my expression with a face.
"It's amazing!" Xu Xin felt the envy in her heart, this little beauty really has a mine at home, especially now that the production of this armored iron weapon is open and iron ore is in short supply, the strategic value of the mine is very high.
"Hey, how much iron ore do you want? I'll give it to you!"
Xu Xin remembered Ji Chaoyang's organization, so she told Li Wenxi what happened before~www.readwn.com~ Join an organization full of bosses? That must be added, you have already added this first, why didn't I add it! "Li Wenxi was persuaded very easily. "By the way, you just said, you and that Ji Chaoyang can already make iron weapons and armor? "
"That's right."
"Well... so, I will provide you with the materials for two sets of iron armor, so I won't exchange materials with you. Can you help me make one?" Li Wenxi asked tentatively.
"You?" Xu Xin looked at Li Wenxi, "Are you sure you can still move when you put on the armor?"
"Just kidding, I'm very strong, okay!" Li Wenxi did a muscle show, although she couldn't see the bulging muscles, but she did exercise a lot of strength, "Besides, my body was strengthened by the contract once. already."
"Yes, but don't blame me if you can't wear it."
"No, no, if you can't wear it, I'll sell it to other people in the organization you mentioned. Anyway, there are a lot of iron ore, so it's not bad!"
Good guy, the troublesome ore source problem was solved directly by Li Wenxi.
After hanging up the video, Xu Xin just returned to the tree house, and Li Wenxi quickly initiated a transaction with him. To his surprise, what he received was not iron ore, but iron blocks (green) that had been smelted, and he even had a lot of money. The land gave him eight iron nuggets (blue).
Eight blue resources? This is too rich and powerful, no wonder only one of the seven people who only got the silver treasure chest is ranked above her.
There was also a message sent to him over there: "I'll give you the iron blocks directly, my room is too small to hold iron ore, the furnace has never stopped, there are a lot of iron blocks! A set of four pieces of iron armor, your four Four pieces of mine, eight pieces in total! The four blue iron blocks I gave you are counted as my repayment of your two oranges, which has helped me a lot!"
