Chapter 40 Self-Strategy Is Okay
Unknowingly, it became dark again.
Under the blizzard that seems to never stop, there is a shelter that never seems to be flooded by snow.
Two thick plumes of white smoke emerged from the two black chimneys, making the iron shelter even warmer.
The above-ground shelter is only 40 square meters, and it is almost entirely occupied by a large amount of firewood and two huge fireplaces.
A woman in casual clothes opened one of the fireplaces, put a pile of firewood into it, checked the other fireplace to make sure there was no problem, and then hurriedly went down through the basement entrance in the center of the house.
In the 320-square-meter basement, there are currently seven people doing their own things.
"Bess, is there any problem with the stove?" After seeing the woman come down, the man with glasses who was watching the live broadcast video raised his head and asked.
"No, no." The woman nodded tremblingly, "I've already filled the firewood. It can burn for more than five hours. I won't use it for now..."
Seeing the bespectacled man frowning, Bess quickly went to the first floor to check again.
At this time, the bearded man who had been making wooden boards next to him came over and patted the bespectacled man on the shoulder: "Du, are you looking at the refuge of the first place kid again?"
Du Ping smiled softly: "There is a lot to study, isn't it? Elliot."
"I don't deny that, Du, I have always had a question, why don't we compete for the first place in this group, but instead change the plan midway and go for the fourth place?"
"Elliot, your statement is very strange. Isn't it obvious enough? Du didn't want us to reveal our strength. He used so many methods to reduce the points... Although in the end he was the same as the stupid big guy in third place.
It's 2 points short, but it's definitely a bit thrilling." The red-haired woman sat next to Du Ping and leaned closely against him.
"There's nothing wrong with exposing your strength. It just allows us to recruit more people to work." Elliot spread his hands, "Du, there's nothing good about hiding your strength, right?"
Du Ping pushed up his glasses, hugged Teresa and glared at him: "Fighting for the first place? Don't you think I haven't calculated it? What the eight people in our shelter can do together are not as good as Lin Yue."
! If you really go for second place, you will be humiliating yourself. If you are first and not leading by much, it will be even more humiliating."
"Ah? Is that so?" Teresa was a little incredulous, "I also watched that video. It doesn't seem to be a big deal. Will our scores not be enough?"
Du Ping pointed to the wooden barrel with only a few liters of water and stood up: "Our water is replaced by Lin Yue's good stuff out of the box. How can we compare with him? When he was eating barbecue, he ate
When we make instant noodles, what do we eat? How do we compare? He has enough food and water to raise a pet! Did you see that there are a lot of things piled up in the basement, after Lin Yue put away a lot of them?
quantity!"
Teresa and Elliot looked at each other.
Indeed, the eight of them divided the work reasonably every day and went out to chop down trees, search for ores, chisel stones, and hunt every day. Although they worked very hard, they still did not obtain many resources.
The crisis of extreme water shortage is also expanding infinitely in the face of this huge number of people.
Because of this, they had to exchange some temporarily unused items or parts with Lin Yue for a small amount of water to maintain.
This also forced them to use better things to exchange water with Lin Yue.
But the chance of getting a treasure chest by killing the mutated creatures was too low, so in the end they had no choice but to explore the secret realm, hoping to find some special stuff inside.
Now that the snowstorm is coming and the secret realm is blocked, it is no longer possible for them to exchange water for anything good. Even before, even the most valuable bicycle design drawing, Lin Yue still bargained for it and only used two liters of water to exchange it.
"In another day, there will be many more people in this shelter. Then there will be no need to look at Lin Yue's face and beg him for water." Du Ping took off his glasses and took a deep breath, "Next time
Let’s go to the top of the standings! When the time comes, let this group know who is the real king!”
…
At the same time, in another "tiankeng".
Lin Yue was lying on the bed, stroking Xiaobai, and haggling with Berg and Kirk Brown word by word.
He did not add these two people to his friends, but started a temporary conversation with them.
Who would have thought that before he had a chance to do something to them, these two brothers would come directly to his door.
Naturally, they all came to ask for water, and Lin Yue, a profiteer selling water, would not let them lose just a layer of skin.
Berg had quite a lot of animal hides, but what Lin Yue wanted was his design drawings of an iron shelter; what Lin Yue wanted was the design drawings of various wood products made by Kirk Brown, an old carpenter.
What is the most taboo thing about doing business?
Others know your trump cards.
Lin Yue? He has no trump card, or his trump card is almost infinite. But what about those two?
Everyone gets what they need, and the rest is a matter of extreme pulling and pulling.
To be honest, Lin Yue is not good at this aspect, but now he is the one with hard currency. He can judge the bottom line by himself. If there is too much, it will not be considered. If there is less, it is better.
"Lin, I want some water. 2 liters isn't much, right?" Berg kept asking.
"1l, I'll place your bid." Lin Yue replied after a while.
"Please give me 1.8l. My friends and I are short of water. Please help!"
"Oh, then 0.9l."
"What? Why is it lowered? Lin Yue, I warn you, my parents will come at this time tomorrow, and they will bring enough water for three days..."
"Not satisfied? 0.8l."
"Don't! Don't lower yourself, I accept 1l, Lin, you are really a devil!" Berg cursed and exited the temporary conversation.
When Lin Yue was fighting with him, he was also letting Cocker Brown's pigeons go, making him anxious.
Lin Yue successfully exchanged 1 liter of water for the design of the iron shelter. Lin Yue had no interest in Berg bringing out other things, so he concentrated on dealing with Kirk Brown.
However, when he saw the chat window, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.
At the beginning, Kirk Brown's painting style was still... "No, it's impossible! I don't want to come up with the design of a comfortable wooden bed! Lin, you want to use 500 ml to replace this, it's just a dream!"
However, while Lin Yue was chatting with Berg, the man who had been waiting for a long time actually changed his painting style again.
"Lin, you can bargain a little...a little bit, can't you?"
"Okay, I can give you this for just 1 liter of water, so I'll just show my kindness."
"800 ml is not unacceptable. You know water. I will have more than three days of water and food tomorrow. This is your last chance, Lin!"
"Haha, how about 700 ml? Let's each give in?"
"Lin, don't pretend to be deaf and dumb, please reply to me quickly!"
"Answer quickly! If you don't answer, I will trade with others! This is very popular, you know!"
"You deserve 600ml!"
"Hurry, trade quickly, please, Lin Shen, I was wrong, just exchange for 500 ml, I have no objection..."
Lin Yue called him a good guy.
Is this a self-guided strategy?
Just when Lin Yue wanted to trade with this product directly, the system suddenly sounded a prompt.
