The World Is A Wasteland: I Obtained A Top Tier Shelter

Chapter 40 - Self

Chapter 40 Self-Sabotage

Unknowingly, the sky darkened again.

Under the endless snowstorm, there was a shelter that seemed to never be drowned by

snow.

Two thick white smoke emitted from the two black chimneys, making the iron shelter even warmer.

The shelter on the ground was only 40 square meters, and it was almost occupied by a large amount of firewood and two huge fireplaces.

A woman in casual clothes opened one of the fireplaces and placed a pile of firewood in it. After checking that there was no problem with the other fireplace, she quickly went down the basement entrance in the middle of the room.

In the 320-square-meter basement, seven people were doing their own things.

Seeing the woman come down, the bespectacled man, who was paring a tree branch with a short knife, looked up and asked, “Beth, is the fireplace okay?”

“Yes, yes.” The woman quickly nodded in fear. “I’ve already filled the firewood. They can burn for more than five hours. There’s no need to…”

Seeing the bespectacled man frown, Beth quickly went to the first floor to check.

At this moment, the bearded man who had been making wooden planks walked over and patted the bespectacled man’s shoulder. “Du, are you thinking about the shelter of the first place kid again?”

Du Ping smiled gently. “There’s a lot to study, isn’t there, Elliot?”

“I don’t deny that. Du, I’ve a question. Why didn’t we fight for first place? Instead, we changed the plan halfway and became fourth place?”

“Elliot, your words are very strange. Isn’t it obvious enough? Du doesn’t want us to expose our strength. He used so many methods to reduce our points… Although we were only two points away from the third place, it was indeed a little dangerous.” The red-haired woman sat beside Du Ping and leaned against him.

“It’s not a big deal to expose our strength. Isn’t that even better for us to attract more people to work for us?” Elliot spread his hands. “Du, there’s no benefit in hiding our strength, right?”

Du Ping pushed up his glasses and glared at Theresa. “Fight for first place? Do you think I haven’t calculated it? The eight of us together can’t even do better than this Lin Yue! If we really take second place, we will be asking for humiliation. If we are first, it will be even more humiliating if we don’t have much of a lead.”

“Ah? Is that so?” Theresa was in disbelief. “I saw that video too. It doesn’t seem to be a big deal. Will our score not be enough?”

Du Ping pointed at the wooden barrel that only had a few liters of water and stood up. “Our water was obtained from Lin Yue with the good stuff that we got from the treasure chests. What can we compare to him? When he was eating grilled meat and instant noodles, what did we eat? How can we compare? He even has food and water to raise a pet! Did you see that? There were a lot of things piled up in the basement, and it was definitely after Lin Yue put away a lot of the materials!”

Theresa and Elliot looked at each other.

That was indeed the case. The eight of them had reasonable division of work. They went out to cut trees, find ores, cut stones, and hunt. Although they had worked hard, they still did not obtain many resources.

The crisis of the extreme lack of water was also expanding infinitely in front of this huge number of people.

Because of this, they had no choice but to exchange for a small amount of water with Lin Yue.

This forced them to take out better things for the water.

However, the chances of obtaining treasure chests from killing mutated creatures were too low. In the end, they could only explore the secret realm to find some special things.

Now that the snowstorm had descended and the secret realm was sealed, it was impossible for them to exchange for water with anything good. Even the mountain bike with the highest value was exchanged for two liters of water with Lin Yue.

“In another day, there will be many more people in this shelter. At that time, we won’t have to listen to Lin Yue and beg him for water.” Du Ping took off his glasses and took a deep breath. “We will reach the top in the next round! At that time, I will let this group know who the true king is!”

At the same time, in another ‘pit’.

Lin Yue was lying on the bed, stroking Xiaobai and bargaining with Berg and Cork Brown.

He did not add these two people to his friends list. Instead, he started a temporary conversation with them.

Unexpectedly, before he could make his move, these two guys started the conversation first.

They were naturally asking for water, and Lin Yue would not let them off easy.

There was a lot of animal skin with Berg, but what Lin Yue wanted was the blueprint of his iron shelter. While from the old carpenter, Cork Brown, Lin Yue wanted various wood products’ blueprints.

What was the greatest taboo in doing business?

Letting others know your trump card.

Lin Yue? He had no trump card, or rather, his trump cards were almost endless. What about those two?

They had to take out everything they had to get what they needed.

To be honest, Lin Yue was not good at bargaining, but he was the one with hard currency now. He would be the one to judge their bottom lines, and he would win whether he had to spend more or less.

“Lin, I want water. 2L isn’t much for you, right?” Berg pestered.

“1L, I’ll post it up.” Lin Yue replied after a while.

“Please give me 1.8L. My friend and I are short of water. Do us a favor!”

“Oh, then 0.9L.”

“What? Why are you lowering it? Lin Yue, I’m warning you. My parents will be here at this time tomorrow. They will bring enough water to drink for three days…”

“Not satisfied? 0.8 L.”

“No! Don’t lower it. I accept 1L. Lin, you’re really a demon!” Berg cursed and left the temporary chat group.

“

When Lin Yue was talking with him, he had left Cork Brown on hold, making him anxious.

After using 1L of water to exchange for the iron shelter blueprint, Lin Yue was not interested in anything else and focused on dealing with Cork Brown.

However, when he saw the chat window, he couldn’t help but laugh.

At first, Cork Brown’s message style was… “No, impossible! I don’t want to create a blueprint for a comfortable wooden bed! Lin, you want to exchange 500 milliliters of water for this? Dream on!”

However, while Lin Yue and Berg were chatting, this person actually changed his style after getting no reply for a long time.

“Lin, you can… bargain a little, right?”

“Alright, I can give you this with 1L of water. Consider it my kindness.”

“800 milliliters is not unacceptable too. You know about the situation of water. I will have more than three days of water and food tomorrow. This is your last chance, Lin!”

“Haha, how about 700 milliliters? Let’s each take a step back?”

“Lin, don’t pretend to be blind. Hurry up and

reply!”

“Hurry up and answer! If you don’t answer, I’ll make a deal with someone else! This is very popular!”

“Alright, 600 milliliters!”

“Hurry up and trade, I beg you. God Lin, I was wrong. 500 milliliters is fine with me…”

Lin Yue praised.

Was this self-sabotage?

Just as Lin Yue was about to trade with this guy, the system suddenly sounded.

[The system will upgrade in 24 hours!)
