The elevator doors closed completely, and the deafening roars vanished from Lin Feng's ears.
All Lin Feng hoped now was that the dinosaur egg he had picked up would hatch successfully and recognize him as its master.
That way, he would have a powerful helper when he explored floors in the future.
After setting the dinosaur egg on the bed and wrapping it up, Lin Feng resumed his workout for the day.
After exercising for three hours, Lin Feng ate his last can of beef, drank some water, and went to sleep.
He did not know whether it was because of the food, but he had not had a bowel movement since arriving in this world, which made him wonder if something was wrong with his body.
When he woke up, Lin Feng groggily glanced at the screen.
It was exactly eleven.
The Chatroom was already lively. It would soon be twelve, and everyone was looking forward to finding out what the next floor would be.
Someone had finally bought the iron and wood Lin Feng had listed earlier to upgrade their elevator. Including the two gold coins he had found on the Ghost Marriage Floor, Lin Feng had exactly five.
[Guys, upgrading a level 2 elevator to level 3 takes five gold coins. If you have gold coins, don't just trade them away!]
Only now did someone who had reached level 2 remind those still at level 1, like a complete moron.
With him saying that, no one would keep trading gold coins. At the same time, he had also made it impossible for himself to get gold coins from survivors with level 1 elevators.
The guy's private messages were probably blowing up now. Lin Feng was speechless too. He had seen people screw others over, but never someone who screwed himself over in the process. This guy really was a rare specimen in full bloom.
Fortunately, he had already gathered all the gold coins he needed.
At the same time, Lin Feng realized the importance of staying ahead of others. Only by getting ahead could he learn more information. Something that others might consider less than garbage could very well be essential for upgrading an elevator.
Just then, something someone said in the Chatroom caught Lin Feng's attention.
[I have some bad news to share. While exploring the last floor, I found an empty elevator. There were bloodstains on its floor, and it was directly opposite mine.]
[I get what you're saying. You mean someone killed someone else and stole their stuff, right?]
[Exactly. That's why I want to remind everyone that not everyone is willing to cooperate. You might be thinking about working together peacefully to get through this, while the other person might be thinking about how to kill you and take your resources.]
[Damn, when you put it like that, it gets scarier the more you think about it. Didn't someone say earlier that he teamed up with another survivor? For all we know, he was planning to kill them and take their stuff.]
[Heh, I'm a taekwondo athlete from Korea, and I've won countless national awards. Those with bad intentions had better hope they don't run into me. By the way, I'm looking for a beautiful woman to live with. If any of you are lucky enough to run into me, consider it. After all, in a survival situation like this, having a strong, handsome man protecting you would be a blessing!]
As soon as the Korean man finished speaking, someone stepped forward to roast him. Judging by the avatar, the person even seemed to be from America, his country's daddy.
[Honestly, Korean national awards count for nothing. Never mind anything else-ever heard of American quick draw?]
[It's not that I look down on taekwondo. I admit it can do some damage. But no matter how badass it is, can it beat the bow in my hands? From more than ten paces away, I can aim straight at your dick!]
[Holy shit, you already have a weapon? I'm still using a lousy wooden club!]
[Hehe, I just enjoy a little crafting. I found an ox tendon in a container on one of the floors, and it happened to work as a bowstring, so I managed to cobble together a bow. At least I can handle some danger with it. Oh, and a little heads-up: archery is my hobby.]
[Hah, it's just a bow. As long as I get close, you're dead!]
Because of that Korean athlete, an argument immediately broke out in the Chatroom, with everyone showing off their abilities. The smart ones quietly collected information on the other survivors. After all, this was a public Chatroom, and there was plenty to learn about people.
Everyone's avatar and name were their real picture and name, which was actually the main reason Lin Feng rarely spoke in the Chatroom.
Lin Feng genuinely admired the person who had made his own bow. If it was just a bow to play around with, he could make one too. But making a highly accurate bow with long range and considerable power was truly beyond him.
Lin Feng was now considering whether to ask that person to make him some crossbow bolts.
If he could make a bow and arrows out of wood, crossbow bolts should be no problem either. And with wooden bolts, Lin Feng would not need to retrieve them after every shot.
Besides, wooden bolts were perfectly capable of piercing human flesh, as long as the person was not wearing plate or leather armor.
With that thought, Lin Feng clicked on the man's avatar.
Lin Feng: [Hello?]
Ye Hua: [Hello. Can I help you?]
In another elevator, a delicate-featured young man looked at the large number 2 on Lin Feng's avatar and immediately understood why Lin Feng had contacted him.
It had to be for the gold coins he had mentioned in the Chatroom that morning. But now that Ye Hua knew how important gold coins were, he naturally would not agree to sell them.
Ye Hua: [Sorry, my gold coins aren't for sale.]
Lin Feng: [No, I'm not here for gold coins. I'd like you to help me make some crossbow bolts. Can you do that? I'll pay you in food.]
Ye Hua: [Crossbow bolts? I can, but I only have a knife here, so it might be very slow. I'd be doing well to make a few a day, and they'd be wooden. You'll need to provide the materials.]
Lin Feng: [No problem. I'll send you a sample. Make ten wooden bolts first so I can test them. If they work, I'll send you payment. You can tell me how much food you want then.]
Ye Hua: [No, you need to give me a deposit first.]
Lin Feng: [Heh, sure. Just list any item on the exchange and ask for food in return.]
Lin Feng readily agreed. He was not short on food at the moment. The berry bush in his Leather Backpack had plenty of berries to eat. Besides the berries, there was also plenty of meat in the Leather Backpack; he just did not know whether it would spoil inside.
"System, will food stored in the Leather Backpack spoil?"
"Beep! No, Host. Time stands still for items inside the Leather Backpack."
"That's good."
Just as Lin Feng had thought, time did not flow inside something like the Leather Backpack, which was similar to a spatial ring.
