Clearing the frost outside the small wooden house took Ye Feng several hours, lasting until dusk.
Hungry and cold, Ye Feng quickly grabbed a packet of self-heating beef tripe hot pot, opened it, and put it in the small iron pot to heat up, preparing to eat it to warm his body.
While waiting for the hot pot broth to boil, Ye Feng opened the [Zone Chat Channel] again.
"Has anyone else noticed that this zone's chat channel has suddenly become so quiet~"
"I... I feel it too, so many familiar IDs are gone..."
"They wouldn't have already..."
...
The [Zone Chat Channel] fell silent for a long while.
"By the way, with this cold weather, do you have enough firewood for heating? Do you have warm clothes?"
"I have firewood. Zhang San said it would get very cold today, so I prepared a lot~ I also bought a flint from him~"
"I don't have firewood, I need to go check the [Trading Channel]~"
"Me too..."
...
"Why do you think Zhang San knew it would suddenly get so cold today?"
"I don't know, maybe he's some kind of meteorologist?"
"Nonsense, this place is like a primitive society, there's no electricity, let alone weather satellites. Without data or cloud maps, meteorologists are useless!"
"I agree. Even with satellite images and data, weather forecasts aren't this accurate~"
"Then how do you explain that he knew it would get so cold today? Not only was the timing precise, but he was also very confident. People cursed him a lot before, but he couldn't even be bothered to reply!"
"He has precognition abilities!"
"........."
"........."
.........
At this moment, the beef tripe hot pot had finished boiling.
Ye Feng immediately scooped a bowl of hot pot soup. He ignored the heat and spiciness and took a big gulp, his body instantly warming up significantly.
Then, Ye Feng added some corn on the cob, sausages, instant noodles, and other small snacks, preparing to have a good meal.
Over the past few days, he had been buying things from the [Shop] daily, and combined with trading in the [Trading Channel], he had accumulated a lot of good supplies.
"Hoo~"
Looking at the full pot of fragrant beef tripe hot pot, Ye Feng's appetite was whetted. He immediately started eating with gusto.
...
After a satisfying meal,
Ye Feng began to inventory the various supplies he had acquired in the past few days.
Besides a large amount of food and fresh water, there were also a bunch of miscellaneous items, such as medical gauze, medical swabs, disposable syringes, band-aids, a portable tent, cold-weather clothing, snow boots, and so on.
Oh, and a bottle of Feminine Hygiene Wash~
Notably, Ye Feng bought a silencer with a strange design and quite a large size. This thing was very expensive, costing 100 survival coins.
Although Ye Feng bought it, he had no idea how to use it...
"Hoo~"
Ye Feng exhaled lightly and lay down beside the stone stove, contemplating his next move.
Through observation and analysis during this period, Ye Feng realized his predicament was quite dire.
According to the system, the most reliable way for him to become stronger was through available points, and the source of these points was by killing those mutated monsters, demonic creatures, and the like.
However, he hadn't killed a single mutated monster in the past seven or eight days. The swarm of bloodthirsty bats, after he killed more than a dozen of them that night, never returned...
This resulted in Ye Feng not gaining any available points in the past few days.
Ye Feng had also considered upgrading the small wooden house as a base, even transforming it into a super empire.
But materials like steel bars, cement, and power sources needed for remodeling and upgrading the wooden house were completely unobtainable in this forest...
He couldn't just wait for the [Shop] to refresh every day, right?
The [Shop]... Thinking about this, Ye Feng became even more depressed!
Because he had previously asked the system, the [Shop] could be upgraded, which would increase the number of items refreshed daily, and also the quantity of each item.
However, upgrading the [Shop] also required available points, and quite a lot of them...
Therefore, Ye Feng came up with the idea of venturing out to explore and become stronger!
...
On a freezing night, as a group of people shivered from the cold and could no longer wake up, Ye Feng slept warmly.
...
The next day,
As soon as dawn broke, Ye Feng woke up.
Just yesterday, after he bought supplies, the shop's luck value had reached its maximum, 50/50!
This meant that today's [Shop] was guaranteed to refresh with top-tier items and offer huge discounts!
"Ding~"
Ye Feng quickly opened the [Shop].
[Su Fei Sanitary Napkins x50, 5 Survival Coins]
"What the hell..."
Seeing the first item, Ye Feng was speechless and utterly exasperated. Then he continued to look down.
[Gasoline x20, 0 Survival Coins]
"Whoa, it's free?!"
Ye Feng was extremely surprised. Previously, one bottle of gasoline cost 20 survival coins, and now 20 barrels cost nothing.
Although he had known the items refreshed today would have discounts, this discount seemed a bit too much...
[Glock 18 x1, 5 Survival Coins]
"Huh, a handgun!"
Seeing this, Ye Feng was very happy. His fire axe, in terms of lethality and intimidation, couldn't compare to this handgun.
Not to mention that this was the renowned Glock 18, known for its high power, accuracy, and rate of fire, exclusively for special forces.
Due to its special design, it could even be used as a fully automatic pistol!
[kt
Ye Feng, completely bewildered, immediately asked.
"Miniature space, a special form of space... Items can be stored in this space, but living beings cannot... Current capacity is 1 cubic meter..."
The system's mechanical voice immediately responded.
"I see~ A portable storage space?"
Having read many novels, Ye Feng quickly understood and then asked another question, "What does 'growth type' in parentheses mean?"
"This space can be upgraded using available points."
"Damn it, available points again!"
Hearing the system's reply, Ye Feng's initial joy was tinged with some frustration, making him even more eager to leave this place.
Immediately,
Ye Feng used the 1000 survival coins he had been reluctant to spend, to purchase this growth-type 1-cubic-meter miniature space.
