Yu Yuan Shelter.
5:30 AM.
Yu Yuan carried the last box of supplies into the shelter.
He let out a long sigh.
"Finally finished moving everything!"
The quantity of supplies this time wasn't particularly large, with the bulk consisting of various clothes and shoes.
Only when actually moving them did Yu Yuan realize just how many clothes were in that room.
Yu Yuan truly couldn't understand why Luo Mei collected so many clothes—this was the post-apocalyptic wasteland, after all.
Could she have a haute couture collecting obsession?
Understanding or not, Yu Yuan had brought back every single piece of clothing without missing one.After moving all the survival supplies into the warehouse, he listed all those women's clothes on Taotao Hole.
Finished clothing wasn't cheap on Taotao Hole.
It was generally divided into two categories: player-made garments and pre-wasteland clothing.
Player-made clothes were relatively cheaper. If they lacked special effects like warmth retention, durability, or camouflage properties,
Prices typically ranged from 200 to 1000 points.
Clothes with special effects commanded higher prices.
Meanwhile, intact pre-wasteland clothing started at 500 points, with specific prices also determined by the garment's condition, style, and effects.
A complete down jacket set would cost at least ten thousand survival points.
Therefore, Yu Yuan wasn't worried about these clothes not selling.
Having been in the wasteland for so long, he had observed something.
Those top-ranked veteran players had divided into three categories.
The first were the laid-back faction—holed up in their little worlds, their shelters developed to a certain level where they lacked nothing in food and drink, living carefree lives without ever placing themselves in dangerous situations, simply enjoying their small daily existences.
Their daily reward survival points were already quite substantial, having progressed from basic survival needs to pursuing spiritual fulfillment.
They were essentially little landlords and wealthy misers.
The second type were the driven faction.
These players showed extreme enthusiasm for invading other players' worlds, plundering resources, and exploring world resources, developing and expanding their own shelters, even building forces uniquely their own, filled with passion.
Their goal was to advance their own ranks and access broader horizons.
The final player type were the opportunist faction.
They cared about nothing else except whether they could profit from events—trading intelligence, buying low and selling high—wherever there was profit to be made, there they would be.
Yu Yuan targeted this batch of clothes primarily at the first category of players. Since they had already begun pursuing spiritual enjoyment,
Different clothing and different experiences were what set them apart from others.
And the clothing Luo Mei had collected served this purpose perfectly.
He immediately priced these clothes between 1000 and 4000 survival points and listed them on Taotao Hole.
Some clothes with special effects, like haute couture evening gowns, he even priced at 5000 survival points, treating it as an experiment. There were several high-ranking female bosses after all—what if one of them went crazy and took a fancy to something?
Reality unfolded exactly as he anticipated. When these clothes were listed on Taotao Hole,
They were discovered immediately.
Because no one had ever listed so many garments at once before, all of them custom-made clothing that clearly showed exceptional craftsmanship, completely incomparable to clothes players made themselves.
However, these clothes were equally unsuitable for wearing during wasteland survival.
Those lower-ranked players or driven faction players merely glanced at them before disregarding them entirely.
But just as Yu Yuan had predicted, those higher-ranked laid-back and opportunist players developed their own thoughts upon seeing these garments.
Cigar Shelter.
Yan Juan had recently sold a batch of tobacco a few days ago. With new tobacco plants having broken through the soil these past few days, he could finally resume his laid-back lifestyle.
"This world is truly miraculous! Tobacco completes its entire growth cycle in just half a month—simply unbelievable!"
Yan Juan had lost count of how many times he had marveled at this world.
As usual, he opened [Social], planning to lurk and see if there were any interesting messages.
Instead, he saw someone mentioning that a batch of expensive clothes had been listed on Taotao Hole.
"Clothes? How expensive could clothes be? Aren't they just the rags players make themselves?"
But when he opened Taotao Hole and saw dozens of clothes and shoes in various styles and numerous patterns,
He couldn't help but pause briefly.
How long had it been since he last saw clothing styles like these since entering the wasteland?
Almost immediately, he found himself browsing unconsciously.
"Hmm, now that I think about it, I really should buy some casual wear for fishing! Hiss... this outfit would also be nice to wear while hunting..."
Similar scenes played out in other shelters belonging to players who had chosen the laid-back lifestyle.
Yu Yuan heard the occasional notification chimes but paid them no mind.
He was also browsing through transaction information on Taotao Hole.
Because the Level 3 warehouse could no longer hold this many supplies.
He needed to upgrade to a Level 4 warehouse. Fortunately, among the conditions required for upgrading to Level 4 warehouse, the most difficult one was Level 3 [Walls]—which Yu Yuan already satisfied.
After purchasing the last few materials on Taotao Hole, he initiated the warehouse upgrade.
The Level 4 warehouse upgrade would take 6 hours.
As for the supplies he brought back, Yu Yuan had no choice but to temporarily move them into the civil defense shelter level passage outside his shelter. Otherwise, stacking so many supplies inside the shelter would have compressed the living space for him and Mie Mie.
As transactions proceeded, after Yu Yuan replenished the clothing listings on Taotao Hole, he finally had some free time.
He went to check the mealworm cultivation boxes' growth status. Including the mealworm larvae brought back from Dale, Yu Yuan now possessed three boxes of mealworms.
He didn't plan to use these three boxes of mealworms—he currently lacked nothing in food and drink.
He needed these three boxes to rapidly breed more larvae.
Today's resources from the Resource Recycling Trash Can were quite ordinary, so he simply collected them and placed new trash inside.
The Magazine Display Stand had refreshed with a new additional item.
After spending 1000 survival points, the item revealed its true appearance.
—"Johnck Zoo Animal Carnival Season" promotional poster.
The poster was large, with a cheerful style.
The Johnck Zoo sign occupied the central position on the massive poster.
Surrounding the sign were photographs of various star animals: chimpanzee Besson, Cree Mountain sheep Behi, leopard Algier...
Beneath these animals were printed various welcoming messages for children, written from the animals' perspectives.
On the back of the poster was a zoned map of Johnck Zoo.
Monkey Pavilion, Reptile Pavilion, Bear Pavilion, Aquarium, Ape Pavilion...
Each pavilion area and route was clearly marked.
But Yu Yuan's attention was captured by a carnival game picture titled [Spiritual Journey].
Or more accurately, he was drawn to a woman in the picture.
He had seen this woman before.
Her enchantingly voluptuous figure, combined with her wild gaze.
She was none other than the Nightingale leader—Lilith!
Only in this image, Lilith wore a witch's robe, and a black snake was coiled around her neck....
