The hearts of the people bought by material things will eventually fall apart because of interests.

Only sincerity in exchange for trust can endure.

Although Chen Ye and Lin Zimo have not known each other for a long time, they have established a certain relationship of trust in the apocalypse.

This is also an important reason why the favorability can be smoothly improved.

And the day she takes the initiative to admit her gender is when her favorability increases to level 3.

I don't know what reward the system will give.

It would be perfect if you could fire a gun.

Just as Chen Ye fell into a beautiful fantasy, the system kept coming with a prompt sound of points arriving in his account.

[Kill the Jellyfish and get 1.5 Survival Points]

【……】

Under the effect of the system function [Calling Friends and Companions], the survival points and life essence obtained by the team members will all be evenly distributed.

The rules are quite fair.

When the team grows in the future, Chen Ye will not even have to take action in person, he will be able to share the "gold coins" and "experience points" obtained by his teammates.

Isn't that beautiful?

Of course, as it stands, the speed of points acquisition is really slow.

After working for a long time, I only killed a dozen red nitrate jellyfish and gained 18 survival points.

In addition, the Life Essentia needs to be close to the corpse of the alien beast to be obtained.

Chen Ye was not in a hurry, because under the action of the waves, many red nitrate jellyfish were washed near the reef of the island.

When the heat has passed, you can carry the basket and welcome the harvest.

But under Lin Zimo's accurate shooting, there were still a few fragmented red nitrate jellyfish that landed around the watchtower.

In the midst of such heat, it would be unwise to rush out and pick it up.

Chen Ye took out a branch and pulled the remains of the red nitrate jellyfish to the window as much as possible.

Taking advantage of the system's long-distance storage function, it was successfully stored in the storage space.

After that, close the window panel and place the magical jellyfish on the table for further dissection.

Even if they were blown to pieces, they would be the size of a washbasin.

After Chen Ye and Lin Zimo got closer, a small amount of gray mist poured out of the corpse, and the two of them each absorbed a part.

"What is this?"

Lin Zimo absorbed the essence of life for the first time.

So while experiencing the wonderful feelings in the body, his expression was very puzzled.

"This is the essence of life, which can enhance your physique to a certain extent, similar to the Kidney Treasure Lozenge and the Ten Perfection Great Tonic Pills!"

Chen Ye tried his best to explain to her in easy-to-understand words.

Of course, compared to large exotic beasts such as the megalodon shark and the snake-tailed Rafflesia, the red nitrate jellyfish has less vital mass.

It is estimated that it will take more than ten to obtain the same amplification effect.

During the dissection, Chen Ye found that the tentacles extended from the red nitrate jellyfish contained many thorn sacs the size of soybean grains.

He poked it with his dead hand.

With a soft "poof" sound.

The irritated spiky ejects a large number of small, transparent filaments while secreting a viscous pink liquid.

The moment the liquid meets the air, it volatilizes and oxidizes into red smoke.

Chen Ye had seen the same picture before, and immediately secretly screamed that it was not good, and hurriedly picked up Lin Zimo, who was poking his head out to join in the fun, and threw himself on the ground in the living room.

Between the lightning and flint, the smoke that spread out violently burned.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly, otherwise the person would have disappeared directly.

And because when these red nitrate jellyfish were killed, they had already released smoke once.

Therefore, there are not many unopened filaments left, and the explosion power is naturally much smaller.

When the smoke and dust cleared, Chen Ye couldn't care about Lin Zimo, who was shocked, and quickly got up to check the situation on the table.

The solid wood dining table was already charred, but the living room was unharmed.

In this kind of accident, Chen Ye not only did not feel remorseful, but seemed very surprised.

Because these smoke are much more powerful than the black powder of Blue Star, so small doses can be so powerful, and they can be used as high-energy explosives later!

Chen Ye carefully put away the red nitrate jellyfish as if he had met a baby.

At this time, as if he had thought of something, he immediately opened the window panel to confirm the situation outside.

As expected, the remains of the jellyfish floating on the surface of the sea are being relentlessly devoured by the megalodon alligator shark.

Even if jellyfish explode in their mouths, they chew with relish.

It's like eating popping candy.

Chen Ye was angry from the bottom of his heart.

According to UNCLOS, the area within 12 nautical miles of an island is within its territorial waters.

These strange beasts with huge bodies but small brains like beans dare to steal his prey on his territory?

Can this be endured?

This is unbearable!

Chen Ye carefully observed through the gap in the window panel,

He found a group of megalodon alligator sharks hiding in the sea not far away, waiting for an opportunity to prey on the red nitrate jellyfish that had fallen into the sea.

The smarter ones go around the coastline and climb onto the beach at the risk of being caught by vines, devouring the jellyfish carcasses on the ground.

If you read it correctly, these megalodons don't dare to approach the lumen tube that is exposed to the sea!

Why is that?

Chen Ye immediately looked at the translucent cavity tube standing in the high temperature, and focused his gaze slightly.

【Terra Creature: Flame Anemone】

[A first-order alien beast, symbiotic with the red nitrate jellyfish, under certain conditions, will surface the sea, spray all the red nitrate jellyfish parasitic in the cavity into the air, and attack the life forms within a certain range]

[The huge body lurks beneath the surface of the sea, and when it encounters danger, it will eject sharp and hard bone mouthparts and release a large number of deadly neurotoxins]

"I see......"

Chen Ye folded his arms and fell into deep thought.

This is both the parent and a firing device of the jellyfish.

So what will happen if the red nitrate jellyfish explodes before it is launched?

Chen Ye could already imagine the scene of a violent explosion on the sea.

His eyes were slightly cold, and another ghost idea came to his mind.

"I like to steal food, don't you?"

"Look at me adding some devilish spicy to you!"

Chen Ye asked Lin Zimo to aim at the cavity tube on the sea surface, and when he was about to spit, he fired an arrow to pierce the jellyfish in the cavity tube.

With a bit of luck, it can release a large amount of red smoke that will directly detonate the cavity tube and spread to the surrounding sea with incredible power.

Those megalodons will lose half their lives if they don't die!

This plan is very demanding for the archer, who needs to accurately grasp the angle and distance of the arrow.

But for Lin Zimo, as long as he has a rough idea, all the rest will be left to talent.

This ability is no different from opening a hanging.

Under the command of Chen Ye, Lin Zimo took a bow and shot arrows.

However, a few arrows flew out, and all of them landed near the islands and reefs.

Not enough distance!

The location of the flame anemone is at least 100 meters away from the safe house.

And the simple and primitive wooden longbow is simply not able to shoot a distance of more than 100 meters.

It seems that talent [favors] are not omnipotent, at least not to change the rules of physics.

But Chen Ye didn't want to miss this great opportunity, so he immediately opened the consignment center:

"Wait a minute, I'll see if anyone sells better bows and arrows."

Lin Zimo, who was guarding the side, was very puzzled by this.

"Do you have to fight the monsters in the sea, I see a few jellyfish floating in the sky."

Chen Ye frowned, it seemed that this girl still didn't understand the importance of life essentia and survival points.

"Survival Points and Life Essence are the common currency and experience points of this world, which can be used to increase your rank and source power level."

As he spoke, he taught her to look at the description of each attribute entry in the data panel.

Lin Zimo nodded as if he didn't understand: "In other words, the more monsters we kill, the stronger we will be?" ”

Chen Ye cast an approving gaze: "That's right, the rules of this world are like this, and now the opportunity is in front of us, how can we miss it?" ”

took advantage of the time when Lin Zimo re-understood the basic survival system.

Chen Ye began to look for suitable bow and arrow weapons in the consignment center.

However, most of them are simple bows and arrows, and the quality is uneven.

Some casually hung a rope on the branches, saying that it was a high-lethal straight draw.

If you sell fakes openly, aren't you afraid of God's punishment?

After searching for a long time, Chen Ye suddenly saw someone selling crossbows, that is, crossbows.

Out of curiosity, he clicked in and took a look.

Compared to ordinary longbows, crossbows are more lethal, have a higher hit rate, and are very simple to operate.

But on the other hand, crossbows are relatively expensive and prone to breakdowns.

Chen Ye glanced at the not-so-beautiful exchange price, and was about to row away.

Suddenly, Yu Guang saw a description of the item with a lot of text written on it.

【Consignment product: Crossbow】

[Product details: A crossbow body made of cloud ironwood, a bow rope made of vine tanning, has a pulling force of nearly 70 pounds, an accurate range of about 80 meters, and a maximum range of about 150 meters.

[Exchange requirements: Thirty standard units of stone can be exchanged for a crossbow, other valuable resources, please chat privately, food priority!] 】

Wait a minute, did he read it wrong?

A handmade crossbow can have a pull force of 70 pounds and an accurate range of 80 meters?

If it's modern equipment from the newcomer's lucky bag, then forget it.

But this is a handmade wooden crossbow, what fairy boss can make such a powerful weapon?

Chen Ye, who was extremely surprised, no longer hesitated, and immediately chatted with the seller privately.

Without beating around the bush, he asked bluntly:

"5 kilograms of crocodile shark meat for a crossbow, whether to sell it or not."

One kilogram of alligator shark meat can be exchanged for seven or eight units of stone.

In this way, he gave a fairly high price.

And Chen Ye's exchange for a handmade crossbow is one thing.

Befriending a big guy who can make powerful weapons is the real goal.

On the other side of the screen, Liu Jianguo, who was worried about food, received a life-saving message.

He glanced at the crocodile shark meat placed on the swap bar, and immediately showed a surprised look.

"Good guy, what a big shot!"

Looking at the buyer's name again, it is even more incredible.

[Liu Jianguo]: "Chen Ye? ”

[Liu Jianguo]: "You are the beast hunter who was so popular in the world before?" ”

Chen Ye was stunned in place, and didn't react for a long time: "What alien beast hunter?" ”

[Liu Jianguo]: "Didn't you and that guy named Xiao Yan hunt a group of strange beasts last night, and the world channel went crazy!" ”

Hunted a pack of alien beasts?

When did this happen, and how did he not know?

Chen Ye scratched his head.

It is estimated that Xiao Yan's kid made up such an outrageous story in order to sell crocodile shark meat as soon as possible.

[Chen Ye]: "It's all rumors, I don't have that much ability."

[Chen Ye]: "Now let's get down to business, do you sell your crossbow?"

Liu Jianguo, who was guarding in front of the screen, was shaking his hands excitedly.

"5 kg of meat is exactly more than I expected the price!"

"According to the current discount, buy a crossbow and get ten crossbow arrows, I can give you thirty!"

He put the special arrow in the exchange bar and showed it to Chen Ye.

Unlike ordinary arrows, crossbow arrows are about 30 centimeters long and are made of cloud ironwood.

In addition, the bolts are also roasted with fire to enhance the overall hardness by carbonization.

[Chen Ye]: "So professional? ”

[Liu Jianguo]: "I have the talent to make equipment, and I am a veteran, so I have no problem organizing teams to go on outdoor adventures and make some simple weapons all year round. ”

Simple weapons?

Hearing this, Chen Ye glanced sideways at the stone axe and longbow in the storage warehouse, revealing an expression of disbelief.

"How many handmade crossbows do you have there, I want to buy a few more for self-defense."

[Liu Jianguo]: "At present, there is only one left for sale in the warehouse, but I will continue to make it to ensure that it can be supplied!" ”

Hopefully not hungry marketing for disgusting people.

Chen Ye sighed: "What is the price of the arrow?" ”

Liu Jianguo pondered in his heart for a while, and then sent the expected price over.

"One kilogram of crocodile shark meat can be exchanged for 20 crossbow arrows."

"Brother Chen, crossbow arrows are also more troublesome to make, so the price is a little higher, I hope you forgive me!"

For Chen Ye, this price is not too expensive.

Because there are still hundreds of kilograms of crocodile shark meat in the storage warehouse.

He thought about it, and directly took out ten kilograms of crocodile shark meat, as well as some crocodile shark scale armor, and put them in the cargo exchange column.

"I want two hundred bolts, plus one more crossbow."

Looking at the entire consignment center, the crocodile shark scale armor is only available to Chen Ye, and the divided part can probably be used as an upper body armor.

Of course, there are quite a few people who have opened a complete armor set out of the lucky bag, but the price put forward is prohibitive.

Since Liu Jianguo has the talent of equipment production, it shows that he does not lack technology, only suitable materials.

These alligator shark scales are even more precious to him than food!

"Much, thank you brother, I'll give you another 20, no, 50 crossbow arrows!"

After saying this, Liu Jianguo, who was emotional, hesitated for a moment in front of the light curtain.

He turned to look at his teammates who were dying in the safe house, gritted his teeth, reorganized the language, and pressed send.

"Brother Chen, perhaps, we can become long-term partners."

Chen Ye smiled slightly: "Let's hear it." ”

[Liu Jianguo]: "Affected by the hot weather, the team I led was all trapped in an underground shelter, unable to go out to find survival materials, and now the shortage of food has put us in the most difficult situation!" ”

[Liu Jianguo]: "Although a few handmade crossbows were sold today, most of them were replaced with ice cubes and fresh water to withstand high temperatures, and some compressed biscuits that were not enough. ”

[Liu Jianguo]: "Brother Chen, I can do my best to make better equipment, as long as you can exchange it for food." ”

[Liu Jianguo]: "How about this proposal?" ”

Theoretically, having the ability to craft equipment in the last days can definitely eat and drink spicy food and gain a respectable status.

But Liu Jianguo was wrong.

In an environment of scarcity of materials, most people have become extreme egoists.

They do want to be better equipped, but only if they pay the least price.

Liu Jianguo rejected many low-level exchange requests, and at the same time received all kinds of dirty and insulting words.

"Are you still human, why don't you even have this bit of compassion?"

"It's all your fault, if you had sold me the crossbow sooner, my family wouldn't have been eaten by wild beasts!"

"Anyway, you can make equipment, give me a handful, and then find materials to make it......"

"It's just a discount, I'm not a prostitute for nothing, are you so careful......"

Remarks like these made Liu Jianguo very frustrated.

However, he also has teammates!

He also needs to survive in this world!

……

[Chen Ye]: "I have food here, and there is a lot of it. ”

[Chen Ye]: "However, you have to give me some discounts on equipment." ”

Hearing this, Liu Jianguo was overjoyed:

"This is natural, I can give you a twenty percent discount on all weapons and equipment!"

The two ended the exchange happily.

After successfully exchanging supplies, a brand-new handmade crossbow and a bag of crossbow arrows appeared in front of Chen Ye.

However, he did not use it directly, but focused his gaze.

A system prompt appeared in front of me:

[Consumes 10 Survival Points to strengthen the Crossbow]
