Chapter 44: No small gain

All morning, Ye Chen and the others spent the whole morning playing billiards in the basement, and the game ended until eleven o'clock at noon, and when it was over, they didn't hit all the balls into the hole.

Don't look at the skills of a few people, they can still score a few goals after playing for a long time, and in the end, Ye Chen lost to Li Yuxin 1:2, which made him very depressed.

After returning to the first floor, Ye Chen accompanied his parents to the kitchen to cook, and Li Yuxin was bored, so he also went to the kitchen to help.

The strength of the number of people is great, and it only took more than 20 minutes for the four of them to make lunch together, which was still four seafood and a cabbage soup as before.

When he sat down at the table, there were still two minutes before 11:30, just in time for Ye Chen to sort out the cooked food.

While sorting out the cooked food and putting the cooked food in the inventory on the shelves, Ye Chen watched the number and weight of the cooked food in the inventory gradually increase, and when he put all the cooked food in the inventory on the shelves, the weight of the cooked food was displayed as 19,440kg.

Even Ye Chen himself didn't expect that there were so many cooked foods on the shelves this time, you must know that Ye Chen only made 40 pots and stoves at eight o'clock in the morning, in just three hours, plus the cooked food made from 17 pots last night, there is this achievement.

I don't know how much cooked food I can get when I harvest cooked food in the evening? 40 pots were used at the same time, and the final amount of cooked food was still very much expected by Ye Chen.

After all, the amount of cooked food he makes is related to the amount of black crystal he can earn.

After 11:30, Ye Chen put all the cooked food prepared on the shelves, and then closed the system interface and left him alone.

Even if there is so much cooked food, it is not enough for the remaining Blue Star people in this world, there are more monks and less porridge, and Ye Chen can only try to help some people so that these people will not starve to death.

The world is big, eating the biggest, and being indifferent to the food is disrespectful to the food, and the best way is to eat it all.

Looking at the four empty plates and a soup bowl on the table, several people unconsciously touched their swollen stomachs, and Li Yuxin hiccuped even more, causing everyone to laugh.

After the meal, Li Yuxin and her mother went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, while Ye Chen went to sit down on the sofa in the living room, ready to see if anyone asked him to help with cooking.

opened the private channel, and sure enough, as Ye Chen thought, from last night to now, there has been no one looking for Ye Chen to do things.

Before, most of the things that other people asked Ye Chen to do were some things needed for life, and few people wanted to do other irrelevant things, firstly because they were useless, and secondly, because of the shortage of materials.

Nowadays, everyone else basically has a small wooden boat, and they can also go to the sea to fish for supply boxes, and there are almost 20 supply boxes harvested in a day.

With so many material boxes, there are always some design drawings, either duplicate or new, and over time, no one will ask Ye Chen to help make things.

If you have the materials and the drawings, why bother to ask others to help you do it.

Besides, asking Ye Chen to help make cooked food is not free, a first-order thing costs 1 black crystal.

For this situation, Ye Chen didn't care about it, others didn't ask him to be a black crystal, but he was more relaxed, at the beginning, just dealing with these transactions made him busy, and the most important thing was that he didn't earn much black crystal.

Now, Ye Chen has also gained the trust of some people, and there is no need to do this kind of thing to help people do things anymore, it's thankless.

If you get something more important in the future, maybe you can consider helping others make it, as for the price, it will definitely not be one or two black crystals like now.

Seeing that there was nothing to do, Ye Chen turned on the world channel, ready to see what these people were doing.

"Wow, help, this is cooling down too fast, it was still thirty or forty degrees a few days ago, and just now I saw that the temperature was only 23 degrees."

"It's not too cold, it's living in a stone house, it's a fire, and it's warm."

“??? What's the situation that you have fire? ”

"Yes, don't you have fire? I thought everyone could make a fire. ”

"Big guy, how did you make a fire, drill wood to make a fire?"

"No, I've got a torch in the supply box, and there's a fire when I take it out, just use it to set the wood on fire."

"Haha, I also turned on the torch, and the system said that it can be burned for 2 hours when taken out, and now I can make grilled fish and eat."

"Looks like I'm lucky, I've got the torch too."

"God, why do you treat me like this, why can't I fire a torch?"

"Brother, don't be afraid, with me with you, I haven't opened a torch, and I still eat bread every day."

"Hey, I really envy you lucky ones, I have no torches and no bread, so I can barely eat some crabs made by the big guy to get by."

"Draw a circle and curse the son upstairs for not having a fart."

"Draw a circle and curse that the wife upstairs is a man."

"Draw a circle and curse the upstairs going out to be struck by lightning."

"Draw a Circle and Curse ......"

……

After reading the news sent by these people for a while, Ye Chen didn't expect that someone had already fired a torch, you must know that he had only been out of the torch for a short time.

Could it be that what is opened does not change with the number of boxes opened, but with time?

No matter what the situation is, it doesn't have much impact on Ye Chen, he can open about 100 material boxes every day, quantitative changes cause qualitative changes, and with the fusion system, there is no need to worry about falling behind others.

After reading the news for a while, Ye Chen didn't find any valuable information, so he closed the system interface.

Leaning quietly on the sofa, Ye Chen began to think about another problem he had just discovered.

Population!

By the fifth day, the population had been reduced to more than five billion, and he thought that after the mortal stage, the survival rate of the remaining people would be much higher.

However, his speculation was based only on ideals.

In addition to the incapacitated, there are many children, the elderly, and a large number of sick and disabled people among the remaining Blue Star people.

Although these people also have a certain ability to survive, they are not enough for the current situation.

Just now, when Ye Chen was watching the World Channel, he also looked at the number of people displayed on the side, it was only the eighth day, and the population was only 4.6 billion.

For others, 4.6 billion people living may be a good situation, after all, 4.6 billion is not a small number.

But don't forget, there are 8.1 billion Blue Star people who have been teleported to this world.

As many as 3.5 billion people, all of them died in less than eight days, and more than 400 million people died in an average day, a figure that is unacceptable to anyone.

It's not the grass mustard that can be seen everywhere, it's a living human life.

If there is a choice, maybe these people will choose to stay in the Blue Star and wait to be swallowed by the abyss of nothingness, at least in this way, there is no pain.

And in this world, there is nothing, and the only thing to eat every day is bread, and even some people can't even eat bread.

Starvation is one thing, no water to drink is another, people with bad luck can only make 100ml of mineral water a day, rather than suffering this sin here, it is better to be swallowed by the abyss of nothingness.

"If I had enough ability, maybe these people wouldn't have died." Ye Chen thought so in his heart.

Although Ye Chen didn't care much about the lives and deaths of other people, he still couldn't bear to see so many people die, no matter what, these people were from the same world as himself.

The continuation of civilization must be promoted by someone, and civilization without people is meaningless.

Opening the system warehouse, Ye Chen searched inside, only to find the drinking water hidden in a pile of seafood grids, and looked at the capacity, it was already 40,000L, which should be enough for other people to quench their thirst.

I opened the trading floor again, put all 40,000 liters of first-order drinking water on the shelves, and then watched the water sell little by little until it was sold out.

Because some people have already opened water purifiers, most of the people who really buy water are those who have no water to drink, and it took about three minutes for the full 40,000L of water to be sold, which is completely incomparable to the rush to buy cooked food.

After a rough calculation in his heart, Ye Chen found that the amount of black crystals obtained from selling water seemed to be a little more than the black crystals obtained from selling cooked food, and he knew that this was the case, he should have sold water as soon as he obtained the water purification system, and after delaying for so long, how many black crystals had to be lost.

After selling the water, Ye Chen found that he had nothing to do, Li Yuxin and his parents also seemed to go upstairs to take a lunch break, in order not to affect Li Yuxin's sleep, Ye Chen still decided not to go upstairs, just lay on the sofa and sleep with his eyes closed.

Not to mention, the villa sent by this system is good, even if it is just an ordinary sofa, it is soft to sleep on, coupled with the constant temperature system, so that the temperature has been in a comfortable range, and Ye Chen fell asleep after a while.

The sky outside was cloudless, only one sun hung lonely overhead, selflessly sprinkling warm sunlight, but the temperature of this sun today was only 24 degrees.

The maximum temperature can reach 42 degrees, but what will be the minimum temperature? Ye Chen didn't know, and the others didn't know either.

However, with this thin set of summer clothes on his body, he will definitely not be able to hold on, and when the time comes, he will be frozen to death before he starves to death.

If you starve for a meal or two, at least you won't starve to death, if you freeze for a day, it's hard to say, if the temperature is lower, it reaches below zero, and you can't freeze yourself to death in half a day.

Whether it is starvation, thirst, fainting, freezing to death, every way of dying is very uncomfortable for these people, if they have to die, it is better to give a good time, at least suffer less sin.

When they were in Lanxing, the company where Ye Chen and Li Yuxin worked had a two-hour break at noon, and after lunch, there was still a lot of time to arrange by themselves, and the most they did was to sleep on their stomachs.

There is an air conditioner blowing in the office all day, and there is no sun and rain, so resting in the company is the best choice.

Of course, there is one more important reason why Ye Chen and Li Yuxin chose to rest in the company, that is:

No money.
