Jia Feng's words stirred up a storm.
[Brother Feng, could you tell us more about the Extraordinary Items you mentioned? What are they?]
[So that's why those Players have so much meat. This game is way too unfair.]
[If we can get Extraordinary Items in the Survival Game, does that mean we can get them in our game too?]
[That Player who went viral online before, the one who flew around like Superman—he must have gotten an Extraordinary Item, right?]
[No way, I have to stay alive. I want to get an Extraordinary Item too.]
[I can be a mature woman or a cute little girl. Any lonely guys out there? Want to add me as a friend and chat? Just 100g of berries gets you a long, cozy conversation.]
[I'm the Son of Jiang City's Richest Man. I'm willing to buy food and wood with cash. Anyone interested can contact me. I guarantee I'll pay in cash once we're out of the game. You all know I'm not short of money.]
[The Qinghong Society is recruiting members! Our Chairman and Vice Chairman are both Players Who Cleared the Survival Game...]
After weaving a large basket, Wang Yu took out the 25 jin of berries he'd traded for and put them in it. He'd had another 5 jin of berries already, so he added those too. The large basket was now packed with 30 jin of berries.
Looking at all that food made Wang Yu as happy as a farmer facing a bountiful harvest. He picked up some berries, tossed them into his mouth, and ate.
With the small baskets free, Wang Yu put 12 White Melons and 27 Wild Oranges in them. Neither needed to be kept fresh in his Backpack; they could be stored in the small storage room on the first floor, leaving more space in his Backpack.
Wang Yu put the large basket containing 30 jin of berries into his Backpack. The berries needed to be kept fresh, or they'd spoil within a few days.
He'd been short on plant-based food before, but now that he had 30 jin of berries, that problem was solved. He no longer needed to leave his shelter to look for food. He could just hunker down there until the Wilderness Extreme Night Time ended.
After he finished everything, Wang Yu went to bed.
He slept on the sheepskin, and his sleep quality was especially good now.
A little after three in the morning, Wang Yu's alarm rang again. It was time to use Dice to Increase the number of his items.
Wang Yu took out a large basket of berries.
Still half-asleep, he casually rolled the dice.
Five.
It was five.
Wang Yu was instantly wide awake. He couldn't believe he'd rolled a five again.
That made two nights in a row he'd rolled a five.
Five phantoms floated above the dice: five large baskets of berries. He'd increased the number of baskets by five.
Wang Yu took out the five large baskets of berries one by one.
A moment later, large baskets covered the first-floor floor, each filled to the brim with berries.
Wang Yu: "This..."
It had happened so suddenly, completely catching him off guard.
He now had six large baskets of berries, each holding 30 jin. That meant he had 180 jin of berries.
"Uh..."
Wang Yu was delighted at first. He'd have all the berries he could want from now on. Then he realized there was a problem.
His one-cubic-meter Backpack couldn't possibly fit six large baskets of berries.
He'd been too careless.
He should have increased the number of berries a little at a time, but who could have expected him to roll a five?
Now he had a headache over what to do with all six baskets. Even if the weather wasn't hot, the berries would spoil in just a few days.
The main things in Wang Yu's Backpack were Five Black Horn Sheep Meat, and the items taking up the most space were 13 Big Fish. He thought fish tasted best fresh, so he hadn't hung them out to dry.
His Backpack also held other odds and ends. Most importantly, he had three Crossbows and their arrows. Those had to stay in his Backpack so he could protect himself at any moment. Safety was more important than food.
He put four large baskets of berries into his Backpack, filling it completely.
He decided to deal with the other two baskets of berries tomorrow.
Then Wang Yu went back to sleep. With food and clothing taken care of, he could get a good night's rest.
The next day was the seventh day since he'd entered the Survival Game.
Wang Yu got up at eight in the morning.
If he made it through today, he'd receive a Survival Game Gift Pack.
Wang Yu checked the Chat Channel. It still showed 99963/100000 people. In the past seven days, 37 Players had died.
Anyone who dared to enter the Survival Game—especially several days after it began—was no weakling. At the very least, all 100,000 Players were young and strong, with stamina no worse than Wang Yu's.
Yet 37 of them had died in just seven days. It seemed entering the Survival Game came with enormous risks.
After getting up, Wang Yu made breakfast as usual. He had Roasted Mutton and berries. Now that he had so many berries, he could make them the main part of breakfast.
While the mutton roasted, Wang Yu opened his friends list, found Zhang Dahai, and sent him a message.
[Wang Yu: Are you there?]
[Zhang Dahai: Morning, brother. What's up so early?]
[Wang Yu: Here's the thing. I got a lot of berries—more than I need. I wanted to ask if you had any other plant-based food you'd trade.]
[Zhang Dahai: What do you mean, more than you need? How much do you have?]
[Wang Yu: Fifty or sixty jin.]
[Zhang Dahai: Holy shit, that's amazing, bro! I saw you trade Wild Rat Meat for berries last night. Did you get that many?]
[Wang Yu: Yeah, I ended up with too many. I want to trade for some other plant-based food.]
[Zhang Dahai: I traded 5 jin of fish for 15 jin of berries yesterday too. With the berries I picked myself, I've got 20 jin.
I'm not short on berries, but I haven't found any other plant-based food either. Since you asked, I can give you something good.]
[Wang Yu: What is it? If it's good, I can trade you something for it.]
[Zhang Dahai: Wild Chili.]
[Wang Yu: Wild Chili? Holy shit, you found peppers?]
[Zhang Dahai: Hehe, I got lucky and came across a few Wild Chili plants. They're definitely a kind of pepper.]
[Wang Yu: What do you want in exchange? I really want these. I can trade you meat or plant-based food.]
[Zhang Dahai: I grew up by the sea. You know people from the coast can't handle spicy food. I can't eat these peppers, so I'll give them to you, brother. It's just a little something; you don't need to trade me anything.]
Then Wang Yu received a Trade Request.
He opened it.
[Player Zhang Dahai has offered you 12g of Wild Chili × 12.]
Wang Yu checked the item information.
[Wild Chili]
[Edible]
