Building infrastructure in a digital world

Chapter 11 11. Transactions
Not only the materials for building the fire in the heart of the city, but also the materials for killing the fire monsters are enough.

If she is asked to collect these materials by herself, that is, to kill three more stone monsters, then at least it will be delayed until tomorrow, because the materials on her body and the state of her body can only allow her to kill one more stone monster at most. .

It's not just because of her physical condition. It took an afternoon to kill the six stone monsters. Now it's almost evening, and the forest at night is very dangerous. She must return to the temporary foothold as soon as possible and light the bonfire...

All of this was well planned, but Su You didn't take any action because she knew that her act of picking up these dropped objects might anger the mysterious creature.

The protection of the halo is limited, and it is only limited to the situation where she does not actively provoke the other party, but picks up the other party's spoils. For most creatures, they will think this is a kind of 'provocation'.

It's not right to take it, but I don't want to take it... Su You squatted among the bushes, her eyes seemed to be focused on the open space all the time, but in fact she was quietly observing her surroundings from the corner of her eye.

As time passed by, Su You's half-squatting posture made her legs feel a little numb. She glanced at the 15-minute countdown, and glanced at a tree inadvertently from the corner of her eye... …

After waiting for another two or three minutes, Su You sighed slightly, first rubbed her numb legs, then slowly stood up, ready to leave.

Since she was about to leave, it meant that she was going to give up these stones.

Although she was really reluctant, since the other party had no intention of leaving, it meant that she did not take advantage of the possibility of picking up the spoils after the other party left.

For these stones, Su You has already wasted a lot of time here. The time to kill the seventh stone monster is running out. Now she must go back to retrieve the rope trap, and then return to the foothold to rest and collect the remaining stones for tomorrow. prepare for.

The moment Su You stood up, she could clearly feel something looking at her.

She paused, then left without looking back.

On the way back to the trap point, Su You took out a portion of roasted berries, ready to replenish her hunger while walking, but just as she was about to eat, Su You only felt her eyes go dark, as if something blocked her vision. line of sight.

And at the moment when she lost her vision, she suddenly felt light on her hand.

Su You: "..."

Su You, who had regained her light, looked at the empty hand, and all kinds of complicated emotions were mixed for a moment, and she didn't know how to react.

Being robbed of food for no reason, Su You had nothing to do with him.

However, there is no emotion called anger or anger in her heart. After all, the opponent is strong, and she just showed a more obvious emotion of coveting the opponent's spoils, so she just robbed the food as a 'punishment', which is not a big deal .

But in order not to be robbed of food again, Su You didn't plan to take out any more food, but quickened her pace and wanted to leave.

Although Su You wanted to leave here quickly, this creature hiding in the dark was obviously not happy.

Before taking two steps, Su You felt that there seemed to be something under her feet, but because she was walking too fast, before she had time to react, she tripped over this sudden thing, but fortunately she caught it in time A tree next to it, which avoided the danger of wrestling.

After standing still, Su You looked back subconsciously, only to see the 'real culprit' who almost tripped her - a stone she had just looked at for a long time.

Su You: "?"

If emotions can be turned into substance, then Su You feels that she must be full of question marks at this time.

Before she had time to react to the stone, Su You saw something fall from the tree and land next to the stone along with some 'swirling' movements.

One of them even almost hit Su You, thanks to the fact that she left under the crime tree as soon as she heard the noise, otherwise, she might have lost a few drops of blood.

Looking at the gravel and that piece of stone, Su You recalled what she had just been robbed of, and she seemed to understand something.

She opened the backpack immediately, took out seven portions of roasted berries, and placed them under the tree that had just rained gravel.

Looking at the roasted berries neatly arranged by herself, Su You thought for a while and said, "I only have so many on me, and I only keep two."

Su You's words didn't get any response, but she could vaguely feel that the other party should 'agree'.

With the other party's tacit consent, Su You breathed a sigh of relief, and tentatively began to pick up the gravel on the ground...

After picking up all the gravel and the other party didn't make any movement, Su You was really relieved now.

She bravely picked up the last stone, then took out a glass of berry juice from her backpack, put it together with the roasted berries before, and immediately got up and left.

After walking for a certain distance, Su You vaguely heard some movement behind her. She resisted the urge to look back and left here quickly.

……

……

"Kill six stone monsters, drop gravel*11, stone*1..." Su You sat beside the lit bonfire, carefully counting her gains this afternoon.

In addition to the drops of the six stone monsters she killed, Su You also had an 'unexpected' harvest this afternoon-she exchanged food and the mysterious creature for some gravel and a piece of stone.

Although she saw that there were only seven or eight pieces of gravel in the open space, she didn't know if it was because of the angle that she didn't see it completely, or because of some other reasons. In short, she counted now and found that, That 'gravel rain' provided her with 10 gravels!
10 pieces of crushed stone plus one stone, that's more than what she's harvested all afternoon... Wait!
Could this be all the drops from the mysterious creature killing the three stone monsters?

Su You: There seems to be something wrong...

She killed six stone monsters, and harvested the dropped stones*11, stone*1, and the mysterious creature killed three stone monsters, and harvested the dropped stones*10, stone*1...

Su You took a deep breath, for the sake of these stones, she stopped thinking about other things.

Including the piece of gravel that was used as bait before, Suyou now has a total of gravel*22 and stone*2, which is enough to build the city center fire and also make some other things.

In addition to the stones, the other items in Suyou’s backpack are as follows——

Lord token (does not take up space), string*4, wood*14, branch*20, berry juice*2, stone knife (89/100)*1, red berry*50, leaf*47.
