Chapter 4 Little Sister’s Lucky Charm

[Treasure Chest Level: Level 1]

(Survival Game World treasure chests are divided into red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. Red treasure chests are the lowest level, purple treasure chests are the highest level. The materials obtained after opening the treasure chest are related to the player’s luck)

Do you want to open the treasure chest?

Just as Lu Chenxi’s hand was about to touch the treasure chest, a thought flashed through her mind.

Lu Chenxi decided to let her sister open the treasure chest. After what had just happened, Lu Chenxi firmly believed that her sister’s luck was better than hers. For this kind of luck-testing task, it was more suitable for her sister to do it.

She didn’t want to open a good treasure chest and get some useless materials.

Speaking of which, if it weren’t for her sister, she would probably be hungry and thirsty like most of the players now.

After making her decision, Lu Chenxi patted her sister’s little head: “Chenyue, do you want to open the treasure chest?”

“Yes, yes, I want to open it,” Chenyue was curiously staring at the treasure chest, wanting to see what her sister could open. When she heard her sister wanted her to open it, she was immediately overjoyed.

For Chenyue, this was just a treasure hunt game, one of her favorite games to play with her friends.

Lu Chenxi’s decision was indeed correct. After Chenyue opened the treasure chest, she got [Planks x10, Apples x5, Pure Water x10].

Not only did she get apples and water, but half of the materials needed to upgrade the hut were gathered. Lu Chenxi quickly hugged her sister and kissed her twice.

Sure enough, her sister was a lucky charm. It must be true!

Looking around carefully, there were no other treasure chests on the sea for the time being. Lu Chenxi planned to go to the trading hall and see if she could exchange for some thatch.

Lu Chenxi opened the trading center and first looked at the existing trading information. She found that there weren’t many players who had listed items for trade yet, probably because it was too early.

So Lu Chenxi could only list her own trading information: [(500ml Pure Water) Trade (Thatch x20)]

Now that all players had just entered the survival game world, there was no price yet. Based on the items listed in the trading hall and the discussions among players in the chat area, Lu Chenxi knew that clean drinking water was scarce now.

When they first entered the game world, unless they were about to die of thirst, players rarely chose to drink from unknown water sources.

But Lu Chenxi didn’t know how easy it was to obtain thatch. She decided to try first. If no one traded with her, she would add a 200g loaf of bread.

Anyway, she would just raise the price a little bit. She definitely wouldn’t be a sucker.

Thus, about two hours passed. During these two hours, Lu Chenxi and her sister were both looking at the messages sent by everyone in the chat area. Occasionally, Chenyue would see a character she didn’t recognize and write it down on the ground, asking her sister.

Lu Chenxi decided that once their lives stabilized, she would arrange for her sister to study every day. At the moment, they were still worried about food and safety, so education would have to wait.

Every half hour, Lu Chenxi would open the trading center to see if the items she had listed had been traded successfully.

After doing this a few times, just when Lu Chenxi felt that there was little hope of a deal and was about to raise the price, the system finally notified her that the trade was successful.

It wasn’t that no one wanted to trade. After all, there were still many players who were dying of thirst. But either they didn’t have any thatch nearby, or those who did have thatch found it difficult to gather 20 pieces of thatch.

At this time, Li Qihua, who had been randomly teleported to the forest area by the system, looked at the bottle of pure water in his hand and was overjoyed. He didn’t dare to drink much either, just taking a small sip.

He wasn’t sure if he would be able to get water resources in the future, and this bottle of water might have to sustain him for several days.

After waking up, Li Qihua found himself in a forest that stretched as far as the eye could see. Above his head was a dilapidated thatched hut, with leaks all over.

He thought it was some friend playing a prank on him, taking him to the mountains while he was asleep.

But after careful observation, he found that he was alone. After fumbling around for a while, he heard the system’s voice and realized that he had entered a survival game.

He was lucky, too. He got an axe from the system’s sign-in. Otherwise, even if there were many trees around, he wouldn’t be able to do anything without tools.

It took about half an hour to chop down a tree, and different types of trees could yield 2 to 3 planks.

Li Qihua had finally chopped down 3 trees, obtaining 7 planks needed to upgrade the hut. He felt like he was about to collapse from exhaustion, thirsty and hungry, and couldn’t chop anymore.

On his way to find food and water, he discovered a small patch of thatch, which led to the trade with Lu Chenxi.

Not only were the trees difficult to chop, but the thatch here was also unusually tough. Even with the help of an axe, it took him about two or three minutes to collect a bundle of thatch. It was fine for a short time, but it was really tiring to lift his hands after a long time.

Since thatch was so difficult to collect, why didn’t Li Qihua haggle? It was just that he had just entered the survival game, and he, a grown man, hadn’t developed the habit of haggling yet.

Li Qihua carefully put the water into the system space. It was worth mentioning that his system space was quite large, with 8 cubic meters, which was more than enough to hold the planks he had chopped.

Next, he needed to collect more planks and thatch, and then exchange them for food and water. After his observation, it might be difficult to find food in this area in the short term.

It was better to directly use existing resources to trade with other players.

Thinking this way, Li Qihua sent a private message to Lu Chenxi on the other side: “Bro, I have plenty of planks and thatch here. If you need them, you can continue to trade with me.”

Then he closed the system panel and continued to work. As he chopped down trees, he thought, why did he get an axe? Why wasn’t it a chainsaw?

Lu Chenxi on the other side saw the private message and replied with a “Good” character.

Thinking that this was the first player to trade with her, if the other person was nice, she could keep in touch.

Moreover, it seemed that the other person was teleported to a similar forest area, and the types of resources were complementary to hers.

Having obtained the resources she wanted, Lu Chenxi just wanted to upgrade the hut immediately.

She clicked on the “House” interface.

[House Level: Level 0 (No defense ability after the newbie protection period, please upgrade the hut as soon as possible)

Lu Chenxi clicked the “Confirm” option without hesitation.
