And there's the 32 yuan I earned from selling it to Luo Liuzi Tian Man a few days ago...
In addition, Qiu Shuyu received payment for the urgent orders she placed those two days...
They had nearly 700 yuan in front of them.
In Scavenger Community, this would be an astonishing sum of money.
However...
Song Xiaozhu clicked her tongue as she thought of the "housing prices" inside the Fortress.
Those living at the Garbage Mountain will likely never be able to cross that high wall in their entire lives.
Qiu Shuyu seemed to sense her emotions and said, "It's already... it's already very impressive. If you continue like this, at most... at most..." She did a mental calculation but couldn't say it aloud.
Even if you earn 300 a day, it would take a full 2000 days, roughly six years, to earn 600,000 and buy the worst, smallest, and most marginal house in the Fortress.
Six years may not seem like a long time at first glance, but for the residents of the Garbage Mountain, it feels like a dream.
The problem is, if they want to continue earning this much money, the risks they face are enormous.
Six years?
They don't even dare to earn money for tomorrow.
Song Xiaozhu wouldn't be discouraged by these things; what's Fortress Fortress about fortresses or houses?
She was a mortgage slave in her past life, and she doesn't want to spend her life struggling for it again.
Moreover, in that Ink City...
This will only complicate matters further.
Her Synthesizer could barely hide under the Garbage Mountain, but if she actually went to Ink City, she'd be locked up in a "laboratory" in no time.
Even in a world where there are Awakened.
The Synthesizer's ability is also an extreme case.
Of course, she wouldn't tell Qiu Shuyu any of this, only smiling and saying, "Get some rest, we'll go to the Garbage Mountain together tomorrow."
Qiu Shuyu: "Mm!"
Before going to bed, Song Xiaozhu checked the " Workbench ".
The exchange rate between Transaction Value and quantum ratio remains at 100:1.
Her 300 points of Transaction Value, on the contrary...
It can be exchanged for 3 Quantum Points.
Song Xiaozhu currently has many recipes that can be upgraded, but she is more interested in new medicine recipes, weapons, and armor, but unfortunately, the starting price is 10 Quantum Coin.
We're going to the Garbage Mountain tomorrow, should we upgrade our hoes?
Forget it, we don't have any scrap metal right now. We can't even make a professional axe, let alone a professional hoe.
Song Xiaozhu glanced at the basic original booklet out of the corner of her eye, and an idea struck her...
You can unlock one [ Raw Material ].
[ Raw Material ] Only costs 1 Quantum Coin. This [ Raw Material ] is most likely something that can only be used at level 3, but unlocking it in advance allows you to stockpile it and collect scrap from the Garbage Mountain more efficiently.
Without further hesitation, Song Xiaozhu chose to unlock the Raw Material. After the notification sound rang, the gray formula turned white, and detailed information appeared:
Formula Name: Crude Oil
Recipe Level: 2
Required materials: Any plastics, rubber, synthetic fibers, chemicals, cosmetics, etc.
Success rate: 1-99%
Song Xiaozhu's eyes lit up.
crude?
Is it the one she's thinking of?
Looking at the required materials again, Song Xiaozhu felt that she was right. This [crude oil] was the crude oil she knew, the oil that had propelled human civilization forward by leaps and bounds.
With [crude oil], Song Xiaozhu was even more excited about the Level 3 Synthesizer.
Of course, there's no rush right now. She hasn't even unlocked all the recipes for the level 2 Synthesizer yet. Presumably, the conditions for this repair will also include those: experience points, recipe unlocks, and synthesized items.
Song Xiaozhu had plenty of plastic bottles nearby, so she grabbed a few and turned her back to try and assemble them.
After failing three times in a row, she put in three plastic bottles at once.
The notification sound changed, "Synthesis successful, obtained [Crude Oil]*1."
Evaluation: One of the basic [ Raw Material ].
"Usage effect: Combustible."
The previous [ Raw Material ] had no effect, but this time the [crude oil] gave a flammable warning.
Is this reasonable?
It's both reasonable and unreasonable.
[ Raw Wood Material ] are still wood, so why can't they be burned?
[Crude oil] is actually acceptable.
Shouldn't this [ Raw Material ] be an abstract creation?
Song Xiaozhu was no longer surprised by the Synthesizer's strange judgments.
snow-white Workbench
On top, there lay a sticky, oily substance, translucent green, about the size of a palm, containing about 100 milliliters of liquid.
Song Xiaozhu thought of the stress-relieving toys popular in her world—slime.
This lump of [crude oil] looks like a black slime with a green pearlescent sheen.
Song Xiaozhu poked it with her finger. Slime... oops, I mean [crude oil], it really is bouncy and not sticky.
After considering for a moment, Song Xiaozhu asked, "Can I pick them up directly with my hands?"
Prompt: "Okay."
After ensuring its safety, Song Xiaozhu held it in her hands.
[Crude oil] has some liquidity, but not much. When you shake it, you only feel a "DuangDuang" sound, but there's not much of a flowing sound.
Song Xiaozhu tried pulling it, and it was quite stretchy...
After playing with it for a little while, Song Xiaozhu put it in the small box.
It's not slime, it's [crude oil].
It shouldn't be used for playing around.
The little box has gained another "resident," filling all ten slots to capacity.
Song Xiaozhu glanced at the Workbench and seized the opportunity to ask the notification sound again, "Can I add another level 1 storage unit?"
Prompt: "Okay."
Song Xiaozhu: "!"
Very good.
She decided to forgo keeping the two Quantum Coin and instead use them to make small boxes.
She had enough Raw Material, but considering the axes for tomorrow... well, making 20 fewer axes wouldn't be a big deal.
There's not much difference between 150 and 130.
We'll have to take a break eventually.
Song Xiaozhu didn't waste any time and quickly synthesized the third small box.
