Doomsday game, my supplies increased tenfold

Chapter 78 Selling Cotton and Linen

Just when Xiao Qi was about to close the window, Lin Xueqing suddenly called her.

"Wait, boss. I see you seem to be collecting protective equipment. What kind of equipment do you need?"

Since she could ask such a question, Lin Xueqing must have a way. But after looking at her backpack, it seems...it doesn't have the type I need?

"As long as it's protective, I'm willing to take it. Let me see what you have first. The price is negotiable."

“My friend said he had this [diving mask] — a practical three-in-one piece of equipment that’s a mask, oxygen tank and diving suit.”

The equipment in the picture looks a bit heavy, but the mask and oxygen tank do provide some protection. As for the diving suit, in theory it should be tightly wrapped, which is probably what I need...

With the idea that it's better to have something than nothing, Xiao Qi gladly accepted the equipment. However, since it didn't meet his expectations 100%, he could naturally bargain for the price. If they only wanted basic materials, he could give them to them, but if they wanted something else, he wouldn't be able to give them whatever they wanted.

"To be honest, this thing is a little different from what I expected. After all, I'm not going to go diving. If the price is right, I can accept it."

Here Lin Xueqing did not make a decision for Li Yangyang, but asked him what he needed.

Li Yangyang was born by the sea and eats seafood almost every day without any other choice. Now he would like to exchange for other foods to try something new.

"He said he wanted to eat some normal food, which is... well, something other than seafood."

There was no shortage of food, so Xiao Qi readily took out five pounds of wolf meat and five pounds of bird meat.

This diving equipment is most likely an important equipment that Li Yangyang uses to dive and catch seafood. Giving it to myself will have some impact on my future. Besides, there is also a 011 who is eyeing me covetously. If I give too few supplies, Li Yangyang will turn around and make a deal with 011, which will be a huge loss. There is a lot of meat from these two kinds of meat, so I might as well contribute some of it.

Li Yangyang was obviously very satisfied with the transaction result, and after expressing his gratitude profusely, he reached an agreement on the deal again.

Xiao Qi took out the equipment she had just obtained and examined it. It was called diving equipment, but it was actually somewhat similar to the clothing worn by astronauts in space, except that the head was not completely covered. The diving in her memory did not seem to be so cumbersome? Could it be the preference of this world?

The equipment did not look brand new, and was obviously used, but fortunately it was intact and not damaged. The oxygen in the oxygen cylinder could be compressed and inflated manually, and Li Yangyang thoughtfully filled it with oxygen for her, which slightly improved Xiao Qi's favorability.

The system indicates that this bottle of oxygen can be used for three hours. After use, it will take time to refill the gas. If you find it troublesome, you can also use the energy of the transmission essence to automatically refill the gas, which is more convenient.

Looking at the trading channel, the transaction of 011 is still listed there. It seems that this thing is really rare.

In addition, Xiao Qi also collected some miscellaneous props, but most of them were useless and only some cotton and linen were used.

Just now, a rumor came out from somewhere that the next natural disaster would be extreme cold. There was a heated discussion on the public screen, but the discussion lasted only a dozen minutes before most people chose to believe it.

Many people have begun to hoard supplies such as cotton, hoping to make a fortune later, or to make cotton-padded clothes and quilts to ensure their subsequent survival.

Therefore, the price of cotton and linen rose inexplicably, and most people began to follow suit and choose to collect some. Xiao Qi looked at the cotton and linen in his backpack, which was more than he could use up in his next lifetime, and simply put it on the trading house, one for a Teleportation Essence. Even with such a ridiculous price, it was actually sold out under people's crazy rush to buy.

Xiao Qi sold 16,000 cotton and linen, which was exactly a fraction of her amount, and directly and painlessly obtained 16,000 teleportation essences. It seems that people's tendency to follow the trend will not change no matter where they go, and the Chinese people's enthusiasm for stockpiling is even more fully demonstrated in the doomsday game.

Xiao Qi, who still had 100 pieces of cotton and linen, fell into deep thought. Her sewing skills told her that making the warmest and thickest quilt required 20 pieces of cotton and linen and pieces of thread. She really did not need so much cotton and linen, so she simply cut it in half and hung up a total of pieces of cotton and linen.

The people who were originally scrambling for the goods discovered that Xiao Qi had been putting up huge quantities of cotton and linen again and again. Some smart people seemed to have discovered something was wrong. If the next disaster was really an extreme cold, why would a big shot like 007 have been selling off cotton and linen...?

Some teams began to discuss and argue with each other, and the sales of cotton and linen also dropped exponentially. This time, only 20,000 were sold and almost no one bought them.

Xiao Qi shook his head helplessly and simply took the rest off the shelves.

This trend seemed to end too quickly. In just seven or eight hours, Cotton and Linen experienced its peak moment and then fell to the bottom. I just don’t know who released this news and whether it is reliable?

I opened the Pioneer group chat and found that they were discussing this issue as well.

Xiao Qi was originally peeking at the screen, but just after reading two lines, he was called out by the group leader.

Xiao Qi was confused for a moment, but still came out to ask what was going on.

"Xiao Qi, I remember you are 011, right? How do you know the next natural disaster will be extreme cold?"

Nonsense questions, inexplicable inquiries, Xiao Qi's brain worked rapidly, and finally determined that this 011 suddenly came to life and announced that the next natural disaster would be extreme cold.

This brother, he was dead earlier and never died later, how come he suddenly came back to life now and dug a hole for himself.

Xiao Qi was extremely embarrassed and didn't know how to explain. In the end, he could only bite the bullet and say that it was a hint of an item he got from a treasure chest. However, it was not known whether it was true or not, and he never expected it to have such a big influence.

When the group leader heard Xiao Qi say that he didn’t know whether it was accurate or not, he immediately shook his head.

"Now people are buying cotton and linen at all costs for the sake of the next natural disaster that we don't know yet. It's really not appropriate. Liuyang, please take some time to tell everyone not to buy blindly, as the next natural disaster is uncertain."

Fortunately, the group didn’t discuss the matter anymore, and Liu Yang’s message was quickly pinned to the top of the list, but…

Why is this content a bit strange?

"011 has personally spoken out that the news that the next natural disaster will be an extreme cold is not reliable and the probability is not 100%. Please do not blindly purchase cotton and linen. It is best to wait for official verification for more information. Even if it is really an extreme cold, the official will do its best to ensure everyone's warmth, so there is no need to worry."

Liu Yang could explain, but why did he have to bring 011 along? Was he afraid that no one would believe him if he didn't say so?

Xiao Qi's face darkened as he looked at the message. He was just an impostor. 011 was still active. He didn't know what would happen after seeing this pinned message... Wouldn't it be extremely embarrassing if he exposed himself?

After seeing Liu Yang's words, the public screen's opinion of 011 gradually changed, from gratitude at the beginning to doubt, and then to abuse. As expected, no matter where they went, everyone's attribute of shifting the blame did not change much.

The insults to 011 were so harsh that Xiao Qi couldn't bear to watch them, so he had to close the chat out of guilt.

At this time, a tall girl was sitting on a bed in a level three shelter. She kept refreshing the trading house, trying to find the supplies she needed, but after searching for a long time without any results, she was almost about to give up.

She is Bo Mu, the second player in the exploration ranking.

Compared to ordinary people, she does have stronger mental abilities to explore and discover the details around her, which is a great help for her to collect supplies and crack mechanisms. Therefore, she has always been among the top in the game. It was not until the appearance of the ranking list that she realized that her exploration degree could actually rank second in the region.

She had learned a lot of self-defense methods before the game started, including but not limited to boxing and swordsmanship, which seemed to be things that should not appear in modern society. Therefore, the problem of self-protection was also solved, and killing zombies was even easier.

In the game, she was born near a university town, where there was plenty of food, books, materials, and treasure chests. After exploring several universities, she had plenty of supplies, but she had never found a very handy weapon. Besides, she was more inclined to exploration. Killing zombies and fighting wits and courage with other players were meaningless. Otherwise, she would have the courage to challenge the top ten on the so-called combat power list.
