He put the unfinished tiger and the factory core into his backpack. Before leaving, Ark looked at the system again.

He found that some of the gray and blurred ununlocked modules had a clearer font although they were still gray.

"trade?"

After clicking on this module called "Trade", there is only one countdown with caption text on the entire page.

"There are nine hours left before the transaction function is unlocked...that is, midnight today. Could it be that we were specially given time to collect materials before we delay opening?"

Ark opened the social channel and planned to see how others reacted.

【World Channel】

Balemenggan: "Look at the system, the trading function is about to be opened, haha, I have tender lamb here, and I'm going to exchange your supplies for it."

Arasaka Dairo: "Hurry up, open quickly, I want water, just give me water, whatever you want!"

Morgan Sauron: "Trade?Trade! I love trading. I will provide purchasing services on behalf of others. Everyone can buy goods through me, and only a little processing fee is charged."

...

Most people on the World Channel are very excited about this news, and some even start to be second-trade dealers.

Ark can fully understand it because the trading system can allow everyone's goods to flow, and everyone can exchange their own extra things to what they want, and the lack of materials will be greatly alleviated.

【Regional Channel (427500)】

Tang Xiaoxian: "Xiaoxian warm soup is about to open, and it is provided with OEM processing. You are welcome to provide ingredients and fresh water. Xiaoxian only takes a little bit of it, and the rest is made into warm and warm soup and returned to you. Remember to bring your own container."

Li Si: "Li Si Fresh Fish Shop is about to open. My fish is guaranteed to be fresh and plump. You can change it with water (fresh water). The sharks nearby are crying."

Feiwu: "I want to eat, I want water. As long as there is water, I will hang all the crossbows that are opened from the gift bag, and the price will be higher."

...

The regional channel is also full of expectations. Some people think of using their own rewards to process, while others are preparing to sell the materials they can get around.

But some companies are happy and some are sad, and some are at the point where they want to sell the tools they have opened from the gift package.

The ark closed the chat window, added some dead branches to the fire, and set out to the forest. He knew that before the trading system opened, whoever had more important materials would have the advantage.

At this stage, everyone is just starting out and the basic survival resources are scarce. Perhaps one or two chosen people already have food, drink and a place to live, but that is a very small number and can be ignored.

For most people, water and food are the most in short supply at the moment. After a while, a group of people will be cleaned up. Those who can survive the natural disaster will naturally have a certain ability to survive.

Although people who lack water and food will have it at that time, the price will be far less than that of the time when the trading system was just open.

Ark has determined his current goal and mastered the water source!

What's more, the Ark has not yet determined which natural disaster will come in more than 40 hours.

But he is sure that no matter it is an earthquake, a storm or a acid rain, as long as there is enough water and food, he can find a place to hide and he can pass it.

As I thought along the way, before I knew it, the ark crossed the junction between the grassland and the forest and entered a world covered by leaves.

The unique fragrance of leaves came to my face. Compared to the grass, the feeling of stepping on each foot in the forest was completely different. Fang Ao held his breath and was alert to the surroundings.

On the ground, he saw all kinds of intertwined footprints, belonging to all kinds of animals, but he was not a zoologist and did not recognize any of them.

"These look quite big. If I encounter two carnivorous ones, I will definitely have to explain here."

The ark moved forward carefully, fearing that a tiger would emerge from the grass or a poisonous snake would fall from the tree. So he walked forward step by step. After passing through the gap between the two trees, the world in front of him suddenly became clear.

Breeze, flowing water, nature!

A long stream divides the forest. The stream water is clear and you can see fish swimming happily under the turbulent water surface.

Looking around, there was no beast, the ark was overjoyed and quickly picked up a handful of water from a piece of water where no fish gathered.

Clear and sweet!

"Try to put it directly into the backpack."

Ark opened the backpack interface and tried to put the water directly into the item grid, but a prompt popped up.

【Missing container】

"I have to find something to fill with water."

Fang Ark looked at the surrounding trees, took out the core of the factory, and asked, "Is there any device that can process the wood into a water cup?"

Two small highlights appeared on the side of the factory's core facing the ark, blinking like an eye, and then making electronic synthesized sounds.

"Considering that the user is currently poor and has no body energy, it is recommended to use a 3D wood product printer. Currently, the remaining power is 5%, and it can run for 10 minutes."

"Not bad! I want this!"

At the factory core in his hand, Fang Ao gave a thumbs up, then looked at the stream reluctantly, and then quickly left.

"Stay at the water to make tools, and I don't know when it will attract wild animals. It's better to go to the forest, approach the bonfire, and use fire to drive away wild animals is a good way for our ancestors to try."

Fang Ark picked up a pile of branches by the forest. After returning to the bonfire, he added some firewood to the bonfire, then placed the core of the factory on the ground and shook his hand.

"Change me!"

The factory core collapsed and reorganized again, turning into a black box as big as a small square stool. The two sides also thoughtfully demonstrated "in" and "out".

There is a control panel on the side of the box. Fang Ark tried it and found that there are many built-in wooden tools and also support customization. He plans to explore this part of the function later. The most urgent thing is to hold the water container.

There are two options for the processing part: finishing and roughing. Generally speaking, the finer the better, the better. However, the energy consumption of finishing is more than three times that of roughing, so Fang Ark can only make do with it first.

After throwing the branches in, choose to print the wooden cup, and then choose to rough processing. With a buzzing sound, something fell out of the exit in a minute.

When Fang Fang picked it up, he saw it. It was a cup made of wood chips and tree bark. It felt very dense to the touch, and it would make a thumping sound when knocked.

With a cup, he could fill water. He couldn't wait to bring the cup and go to the stream for a test. As the cup filled with water disappeared from his hands, a pattern of a cup filled with water appeared in his backpack lattice.

Although the water resource problem has not been completely solved, the first step has been taken smoothly.

But drinking a glass of water yourself may not be enough, let alone trading it later. It requires a larger water storage container.

Bigger and more?

Fang Ark suddenly looked around and saw tall and stout trees everywhere he saw, all of which were the best wood.
