Crossing the wilderness to survive, starting with a broken kitchen knife

It was pitch dark inside the cabin, so the most urgent thing was to light a fire. Zhang Shi took out a lighter from the system backpack, and with the help of the lighter's flame, he used an old stick to cut a piece of wood into thin strips, and then ignited the thin strips. The wood near Zhang Shi's shelter was very dry, and the small wood strips were quickly ignited. Zhang Shi cut the wood into small pieces suitable for ignition, took out some stones, surrounded the fire, and made a simple bonfire.

The bonfire started, and the cabin suddenly became bright. With the fire source, Zhang Shi felt more secure in the dim wilderness world. Taking out the rabbit meat that the system had decomposed, Zhang Shi still used a thin wooden stick to fix the rabbit meat and grilled it on the bonfire.

As the bonfire burned, the temperature in the cabin gradually rose, and Zhang Shi felt his body become warm. The firelight reflected on Zhang Shi's focused face, coating his self-proclaimed handsome face with a layer of warm gold.

The rabbit meat slowly turned on the campfire, and the fat dripped into the fire, making a "sizzling" sound, accompanied by an alluring aroma that filled the entire hut. Zhang Shi adjusted the position of the rabbit meat from time to time to ensure that each side could be evenly heated. The golden outer skin gradually became crispy, and the meat inside remained fresh and juicy.

As the rabbit meat gradually cooked, Zhang Shi carefully took the rabbit meat off the fire with a wooden stick and placed it in the newly obtained black pot as a rice bowl. Zhang Shi blew a few breaths gently to let the heat dissipate a little, then opened his mouth and bit off a large piece of meat.

"Woo, woo."

Zhang Shi looked a little disappointed. Rabbit meat itself has little fat, and the lack of seasoning makes its taste even more monotonous. Zhang Shi, who is used to eating modern technology, feels that this meal is a bit bland.

"Hey, it's good to have something to eat, it's better than chewing bread."

Zhang Shi took out a bag of bread, cut off a piece of rabbit meat, and sandwiched the meat between the bread.

"Old Zhang's homemade hamburgers are ready!"

The atmosphere in the cabin became warm and peaceful, and the light of the bonfire and the aroma of the food intertwined to form a warm picture. Zhang Shi sat by the fire, enjoying this rare peace. Even in the real world, his state of mind has never been as stable as it is now.

After enjoying this simple dinner, Zhang Shi did not forget to add new wood to the bonfire to ensure that it can continue to burn at night to provide him with light and warmth.

Opening the window, Zhang Shi leaned against the bed and looked at the night sky. The night sky was dark, without stars or moon. Zhang Shi's eyes were slightly red, and two lines of tears slowly slid down.

"This smoke is so strong, it's almost choking me to death."

...

After eating and drinking, Zhang Shi lay on a simple bed built with wood, pillowed on rabbit skin, looking at the dancing light and shadow on the ceiling, silently planning the next action in his heart.

He opened his already full backpack. At the moment, his supplies were:

[Old Duan (colorful) X1, Broken Stone Axe (white) X1, Broken Stone Pickaxe (white) X1, Purified Water 500ml (white) X6, Plastic Water Bottle X1, Bread 500g (white) X6, Windproof Lighter (blue) X1, Bicycle (white) X1, Rabbit Skin (white) X1, Small Trap (blue) X1, Wood (white) X105, Stone (white) X6]

This was only the first day of surviving in the wilderness, and he already had so many resources. I have to say that the invincible golden finger is really useful, and the things it gives are practical and critical.

At the moment, although Zhang Shi has no worries about food and drink in the short term, for the sake of long-term development, he decided to continue looking for water and food. In addition, it was mentioned in the chat channel that treasure chests will be refreshed in the wild, and he has the privilege of doubling the treasure chest resources, so exploration in the wild must be carried out.

He lay down for a long time, but couldn't fall asleep. Zhang Shi opened the system panel and found that it was only 8 o'clock. Normally, he had just got off work from the office. With nothing to do, Zhang Shi checked the material requirements for the next stage of the shelter upgrade.

[Stone House (Unlocked): Intermediate shelter, can shelter from wind and rain, even in the face of natural disasters and wild beasts, it has a certain defense ability, and the built-in fireplace can effectively resist the severe cold climate. Upgrade conditions: Wood 105/300 Stone 6/500 Mud 0/50 Stone House Design 0/1]

The next stage of the shelter upgrade requires more resources. There is no rush to get mud and design drawings. It is estimated that this type of resource will appear in the trading market in a few days. At that time, you can get it by spending some resources. It's just 500 units of stone, which is a big expense for anyone. I don't know if the transaction with Liu Yu alone can meet the demand.

Thinking of this, Zhang Shi decisively opened the trading module and took a rough look. In the current trading market, the price of basic resources has stabilized, and the ratio of wood to stone is roughly 4 to 1.

Zhang Shi summarized the reasons:

First, although it is possible to pick up scattered stones in the wild, it is still necessary to mine them in order to gather enough stones to upgrade the shelter. The physical strength and time consumed by quarrying are far greater than cutting trees, which leads to more survivors tending to cut trees.

Second, many top survivors have upgraded wooden houses, unlocked the next stage of stone house upgrade requirements, and began to buy stones in the trading market, causing the already high stone prices to rise.

Zhang Shi looked at the transactions of other items again, and found nothing new. Most of them were basic resources in exchange for food and water. It may be because of the novice gift package. This is only the first day, and everyone can survive by saving food and drink. The price of food resources is not too high.

Zhang Shi thought he could let the bullets fly for a while, and temporarily gave up the idea of ​​exchanging food for resources. After placing 20 orders for 4 wood for 1 stone, Zhang Shi opened the regional chat channel and prepared to take a look at what these people were doing.

Duan Bi: Wow, this world is so dark, I'm so scared, is there any brother with abdominal muscles who can make a video to comfort me.

Chen Beipan: Is there anyone who has successfully started a fire? Give me a piece of fire, and I can trade with water.

Tang An: Is there anyone selling lighters and matches? I opened a treasure chest and got a piece of raw meat, but I can only stare blankly, I'm almost dying of greed.

Zhao Weiwei: This thatched house is leaking everywhere, is there anyone selling fire sources, please privately chat with me if the price is right.

Zhang Shi's eyes lit up and caught a business opportunity. He got up quickly, took a burning wood from the fire, and put it on the trading interface.

System prompts, successfully put on the shelf [Wood (white) X1]

Zhang Shi was stunned, and took the wood off the shelf, and found that the flame on it had gone out, leaving only a charred piece.

"I guess, I was happy for nothing."

Zhang Shi threw the wood into the campfire and was about to close the transaction interface. He glanced at it and found that there was a rental module on it. After clicking it, he found that the system can rent tool items. The survivors who rent can set time or durability limits. As long as the conditions are met, the rented items will be taken back immediately.

Zhang Shi's eyes lit up again and tried to rent the lighter. Since it is a product without durability, Zhang Shi didn't know how long it could be used, so he set a time limit of 3 minutes per person, and 3 units of wood were consumed for one rental.

Ding, your [Windproof Lighter (Blue) X1] has been successfully rented by "AAA Building Materials King Brother", and you get [Wood (White) X1]

"Haha, it's done!"

Zhang Shi was overjoyed. He had a stable income from wood again. Although it was not much, the quantity was large. In the early stage of the game, there are definitely only a few people who can start a fire by themselves. Leasing lighters is a great profit, and most people will not be stingy about exchanging 3 units of wood for a fire source. After all, 3 wood can be obtained stably in half an hour, but even professionals cannot guarantee that a fire can be started within half an hour. This business is very profitable.

Sure enough, the previous tenant had just returned the lighter, and the next order had been completed. Under Zhang Shi's rental list, there are still many survivors leaving messages:

Bloodthirsty Demon Realm Mad Blade: Big brother is awesome, where did you get the blue quality lighter, can you bring me to make a fortune together?

Pure Man: Big brother, can you lend me the lighter first? I only wore a pair of underwear when I crossed over. Now it's dark and the temperature has dropped. It's so cold that I'm going to freeze to death, woo woo woo...

Prometheus: Did you get kicked in the head by a donkey? You sold such an important thing as a fire source at a cabbage price? I tell you, don't let me catch you, otherwise you will have a hard time.

Humanoid Teddy Bear: @Restore the masculinity of a man. Boss, your ID is not a lie, right? Can you please spare me a moment to talk?
