Chapter 22

Rene was slightly surprised.

Several wooden containers were filled with pure drinking water.

This time, he left for four hours. The Soft Water Slime could produce drinking water once in half an hour, 1 liter each time. With ten little ones working together, they could produce a total of 80 liters of water in this period of time.

Perhaps that was nothing to a person living in the 21st century, but to the players who were struggling to survive in the Overlord World, this water was a precious resource.

“If I sell all of the water, I can obtain a large amount of wood.”

With that in mind, Rene quickly opened the trading platform.

Then, he began selling them at the previous price.

This time, Rene relaxed the purchase restriction. Each person could buy up to ten units.

In the next second, the entire world channel was in an uproar.

“Awesome!!!”

“Did you create a water condensation machine?”

“It might also be a water filter.”

“Damn, we’re still struggling to survive. The big shots have already begun to build a business empire. I can’t imagine!”

Many people were speculating.

The world channel became extremely lively.

Most of them were still racking their brains about how to build a camp.

However, at this moment, Rene had already created a water condensation machine. The water produced every day could bring him a huge amount of wealth.

Thinking of this, everyone was jealous!

But Rene was not paying attention to the world channel, he only read private messages.

The water he had just sold was only 40 liters, and he still had half of it left. The purpose was to exchange for rare items.

But it had to be said, as long as one became famous, countless people would find them.

This time, together with the ones he received while farming monsters, there were already millions of private messages in Rene’s information panel.

Fortunately, the information had a screening function. Otherwise, he would not have been able to find his target letter.

Rene set his sights on special materials and items.

The number of messages was reduced by 90% instantly.

Yes, most of the private messages were rubbish information about seeking friendship. He really did not know why those people were so bored.

“Boss, I have the blueprint for the hemp garment manufacturing. Can I exchange it for water?”

“[Stone Pot Blueprint] (photo attached), do you want to accept it?”

“I have a piece of paper to make a map. I want to exchange it for a logging axe. Is that okay, Boss?”

“Boss, do you want the blueprint for a grill?”

“Do you want a belt?”

“Do you want a candle?”

“I have a small leather whip. Would you like one?”

Everyone had a variety of items.

Rene saw many blueprints and some finished products.

Most were useless things, but Rene still chose some that he wanted.

Some things may not seem useful, but there was a huge market for them in the future.

For example, the [Hemp Garment Blueprint]. As a civilized species, clothes would definitely become a necessity in the future.

In addition, [Paper] was also very important. This was an important part of moving the world towards civilization. When the territory gradually prospered, the paper would definitely be very useful.

The candle and belt… were also obtained.

Although they were not very useful, they could at least bring back some memories of Earth to Rene for the time being.

After trading what he wanted, Rene began searching for information regarding the runes.

It could be seen that there were not many private messages in this aspect.

This was still because the current players did not understand the importance of the runes, so they used it to make such a low transaction.

After everyone gradually became familiar with the territory’s buildings and the players understood the importance of the runes, it would be impossible to exchange them for this price.

Rene looked closely and saw that some wanted tools, some wanted resources, and some even wanted workers.

Only the best players wanted workers.

However, Rene valued workers now. When this territory was developing rapidly, he would not easily sell laborers.

As for resources…

Because of the excellent sales of water, Rene now has 800 units of wood.

Therefore, in the transaction, Rene generously offered a high price of 200 units of wood for 1 rune.

In addition, there were also machetes and other tools. Some players needed these items.

[System prompt: 200 wood traded. Obtained: Fire Rune+1.]

[System prompt: 1 machete + 5,000 ml of drinking water traded. Obtained: Wood Rune+1.]

[System prompt: 2 machetes + 1,000 ml of drinking water traded. Obtained: Wood Rune+1.]

[System prompt: 200 wood + 1,000 ml of drinking water traded. Obtained: Fire Rune+1.]

[…]

After a simple exchange, the few of them completed the transaction.

Although the tools might be more practical, two machetes were definitely more valuable than a logging axe, so they were happy to make the exchange.

Soon, three fire runes and three wood runes appeared in Rene’s hands.

Now, he was just short of one fire rune and two wood runes to make the smelting workshop operational.

Rene was in no hurry.

The smelting workshop was a relatively high-level building after all. If he wanted to let it start working, he definitely needed some time.

“Should I purchase another batch of slimes?”

After a day of hunting, Rene reached Level 2 and could obtain an additional 10 soldier trading qualifications.

However, he was hesitating.

Considering that the territory was already preparing to sweep towards the outside, more soldiers would be needed.

If he were to buy warriors, the strength of the territory could increase to a certain extent. In the next few days, he could also explore the surrounding territory as much as possible.

However, if he were to buy slimes, the territory would be completely in the direction of construction. He had to slow down his plans to explore the forest for the time being.

Originally, Rene was more inclined to construction, but the gains from today’s hunt made his thoughts waver a little. The gains were too astonishing, so he had to reconsider his future development.

“I should get slimes after all.”

“Haste makes waste. I’m being too impatient.”

In the end, Rene gave up on the hot-blooded fighting style and focused his attention back on his territory.

With that in mind, he began editing the information.

Most of the players’ territories had a slime’s lair.

Therefore, the efficiency of acquiring them was very fast. Within seconds, he completed the transaction of ten slimes.

However, just as Rene was about to edit them…

A new idea occurred to him.
