Chapter 14: The Man Called Boss, God, and Profiteer

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Profiteer.

At some point, Lin Yue realized that in the group, other than ‘Boss Lin Yue’, he had another nickname.

I just want some materials. When did I become a profiteer?

While browsing the group chat and looking for mentions of items that came out of high level treasure chests, Lin Yue kept discovering this new prefix in his name.

I’m a profiteer? Then, what about those people who are selling 15 milliliters of water for 20 units of iron?

However, this did not matter.

Profiteer? I’ll show you what a profiteer is.

Lin Yue looked at his inventory.

Small soilless culture set… He had not had the time to use it.

He was about to open it when a notification box appeared.

A small soilless culture set.

Area: 50 m2

Components: Chive seed, nutrient solution, helical pipes, sponge.

Description: A special item that can greatly reduce the growth speed of crops. It requires a large amount of water.

Lin Yue widened his eyes.

What? 50 square meters?

His shelter was only 40 square meters. Was this a joke?

No wonder Zheng was in such a hurry to sell it, and even had to sell it at such a low price at the end.

This was a lesson.

Lin Yue knew that this thing could only occupy a slot of the inventory for the time being unless he could immediately upgrade the shelter to a larger area.

‘Speaking of which, is there a blueprint to expand the shelter?’

Lin Yue searched.

There was not.

They were all blueprints of tools and some basic things like sickles and wooden staff.

There did not seem to be any special blueprints.

He looked at the materials column. Wood, stone, and iron.

These should not be the only materials.

Gold, silver, copper, iron, and aluminum. There were the so-called ‘copper treasure chests’, so could there be copper?

He searched in the group chat and trading center.

As expected, there was!

However, the production seemed to be very small. Only a few people had mentioned it in the chat. They had also posted it in the trading center, but no one bought it.

Lin Yue felt that this might be because there were no blueprints that required it.

After all, almost everyone’s blueprints only required straw, wood, stone, or iron.

Indeed, this was a blind spot.

Lin Yue thought for a moment and searched for many keywords.

In the end, he found coal, aluminum, asbestos, and other materials.

It seemed like what was seen currently in this world was only the most basic things.

Perhaps there would be a considerable change later.

Now, the wood was gone, and there were only 6 units of stone left. There were still 43 units of iron.

Lin Yue decided to do the same as last time and exchange a large amount of materials on the market.

This time, in order to ensure that not too many people died of thirst, he directly put up a large amount of water!

[Seller: Lin Yue]

[Auction: 50ml of mineral water x 100]

[Requirements: Stone, copper, blueprints, or other.]

[Seller’s Note: 100 portions. Everyone can only bid once. The highest bidders will get them.]

After putting this on, Lin Yue closed the interface.

This thing wasted too much time. He had done almost nothing this morning.

Time was precious.

Lin Yue held the small wooden shield in his left hand and the iron spear in his right hand and opened the stone door.

The high temperature brought by the strong sunlight made him frown.

This weather was too weird.

However, a breeze blew across the wasteland and dispersed the hot air.

He looked at the shallow pit where he buried the bones and internal organs of the mutated sheep and realized that it was in a mess.

The shallow pit seemed to have been ransacked by some animal. Strange claw marks were everywhere, and the bones and internal organs were naturally gone.

Now, only some beetles with pure silver carapace and about twice the size of his fist were crawling there.

Lin Yue picked up the iron spear and stabbed them to death.

Seven treasure chests dropped.

It was a pretty good gain.

He went to the place where he had buried the giant locust on the first day. There were indeed some insects crawling there as well.

It seemed like these insects were the decomposers of this world…

Lin Yue did not stand on ceremony and sent them on their way.

Being merciful to the enemy was being cruel to oneself.

Who knew when these things would crawl into the shelter and cripple him?

After searching for a while and confirming that there was no threat, Lin Yue returned to the hut and took out the shovel.

He dug the same pit as before and placed the 30cm wok on it. He grabbed the dry grass that was everywhere in the wasteland and lit them.

He poured water and waited for it to boil before putting a packet of instant noodles.

He took the opportunity to run to the wood and casually found two thin branches. He cut them into the shape of chopsticks… well, they were similar.

[You have obtained Wooden Chopsticks Blueprint]

Wonderful.

However, when he created it, a box of chopsticks appeared, making him raise his eyebrows.

Forget it, forget it.

Lin Yue slurped the noodles while looking around warily.

The environment tempered people.

If it were on Earth, he would not have such a habit.

After eating the noodles, he placed the tools in his inventory and went straight to the wood to cut 20 units of wood.

After two days of familiarity, he could use the most energy-saving method to cut and gather more units of wood.

Wood was the only material that Lin Yue could obtain, but it had a lot of usage.

After doing this, Lin Yue drank some water and rested for a moment. He picked up the iron spear and the small shield and patrolled the surroundings of the shelter.

Hunting mutated creatures, or rather, bullying those small mutated creatures like small lizards, grasshoppers, and ants.

Lin Yue still did not have absolute confidence in winning against the giant locust and the mutated sheep.

He was not one of those ferocious people in the group who went to hunt more than ten to twenty mutated creatures when they had just arrived. He could not overstep his limits.

However, he had gained some combat experience, and after killing five small lizards, he decided to walk further today.

He would run back to the shelter if he encountered any mutated creatures that he could not deal with.

He climbed up to the roof with the ladder and looked around. Finally, he chose a direction where there were not many moving black dots.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Yue decided to take this small risk.

He could not just stay around the shelter. Not only were there too few resources, but there were also various factors that prevented him from developing.

Who knew how long this water could be sold for?

Speaking of which…

What kind of disaster was it going to be?

Lin Yue opened the announcement.

There were still five hours to go.

‘I will return before that!’
