Chapter 1216: Rolling Stone Canyon, a Chasm that Is Difficult to Cross!

Seventeen thousand points?

Qi Jie, who was listening intently next to him, was shocked and suppressed the flash of shock on his face.

Calculated based on the five hundred initial points issued by the game, this is the total initial points of thirty-four people!

If you just go through the level alone and complete various challenging tasks.

Even if all nine terrains are completed, this amount may not be accumulated.

But now.

This amount can be easily earned through a decomposition machine with almost no capital.

Qi Jie was in a daze for a moment, and the items on the merchant's sales list flashed through his mind.

Even for a modular product that costs up to 5,000 points each, these points are enough to buy three units.

More than just getting rich, this is simply getting rich!

"You want a lot. It seems like you are planning to do a big business?"

Having seen the products on the Xiyou sales list, Sumo would naturally not be ecstatic about more than 10,000 points at this time.

He glanced at the anxiety on Catwoman's face, and then said in a deep voice:

"You can also do business on the human side, but I don't want to hear you selling it at a high price."

"I understand, we understand!"

Abe nodded repeatedly, and the big stone hanging in his heart finally fell to the ground.

What he was most worried about before coming was that Somo would not allow them to sell fresh water to humans, or that they would have to sell it at cost price.

As a result, the sales crowd suddenly shrunk several times, making it difficult to clear the goods and raise funds in a short time.

But now I just say that I can’t sell it at a high price.

Even if you don’t sell it at the original price of 100, but only sell it for 80, or even 70, you will still make a profit!

"very good."

"Qi Jie, go get them water."

After turning around and giving instructions, Sumo did not choose to have too much contact with other alien races.

First, because the audience above is still watching, there is no problem with the transaction between the human Su Shen and the foreign race, but too close contact will inevitably cause unnecessary criticism and pressure from public opinion.

Second, the harvest from this transaction has been sufficient, and a stable scale and group have been formed. With Abe's cleverness, he can easily maintain the business as long as he develops step by step.

As for selling to aliens or humans, this Somo didn't care.

They are all contestants who have been eliminated, and they will not die in the main game.

He had no obligation to help everyone walk to Kirishima. The important thing was to earn more points as quickly as possible.

"Fourteen thousand points, a total of one hundred and forty liters of fresh water."

"A bucket here is thirty liters. The bucket is given to you, but you have to carry it yourself."

Twenty liters have been used to fill all the empty bottles, and the remaining four barrels can only be carried by the aliens themselves.

Qi Jie originally thought that these strange humanoid alien races would make a noise for a while and allocate their transportation capacity.

However, what was surprising was that one of the aliens who looked like a fox came up and gently touched the barrel, and the originally huge barrel shrunk to one-third in an instant.

Then several strong and powerful aliens stepped forward and easily picked up the bucket.

"This ability is really..."

Qi Jie stared at it and couldn't help but feel envious for a moment.

But when I turned around and saw the studio not far away, this trace of envy quickly faded away.

It is true that aliens have this magical ability, but humans also have similar methods.

Perhaps in their eyes, this studio, big or small, is not magical.

Soon, the transaction was completed.

The points in the manual increased by 17,000, bringing the total to 24,500!

Watching all the aliens leave excitedly, Sumo suppressed his excitement and strode back to the studio.

The most difficult part of starting a multiplayer competitive game from scratch is the accumulation of original funds.

Taking ordinary contestants as an example, even if the points in their hands are doubled or tripled, they are only just over a thousand.

But now that I have more than 20,000 points, doubling it is 20,000, which is really an exaggeration.

"We have a large-scale transaction partner and the initial funds have been in place. The only thing left to do is to earn more points and enter the finals."

"As for the points, I can let Qi Jie do it for me. My goal is to win the championship!"

Somo thought secretly and let out a long breath, taking away all the depression in his chest.

Although we haven’t reached the next terrain yet, judging from the current progress, the finals are already a sure bet!

On the seventh day of the race, the sandstorm ended.

The sky has not yet turned white.

The centaur Barry came in a hurry again with several strong and strong foreigners, fearing that he would miss the last chance to purchase goods in the Earth Fire Desert.

Judging from the uncontrollable joy on several people's faces, Su Mo knew that yesterday's trading volume might have been quite good.

But after receiving the order, I was still inevitably shocked.

"Thirty-two thousand cents? Are all the fresh water and food you bought yesterday sold out?"

Faced with Somo's doubts, Barry's smile did not diminish.

After a few days of familiarity, he already knew that this human Soma was not as scary as the rumors.

In other words, as long as this murderer is not provoked, there will be no problem with normal communication.

And this is why Catwoman Abe is willing to let him bring people over to buy goods.

"Dear human lord Sumo, your goods are very popular and were sold out yesterday afternoon."

"Don't worry, we haven't violated the rules. The fresh water sold to humans only costs 70 points per bottle."

Purchased at noon and sold out in the afternoon.

140 liters of water, even at the price of 70 points/500ml, the turnover is as high as 19,600 points.

Compared with the purchase price, there is a profit of 5,600 points.

According to the average distribution of the 42 aliens present yesterday, each person can get 133 points.

In addition, the food is also calculated at a profit of 20%, and each person should get about 150 points.

This is not a small amount!

If you complete the daily tasks of the game step by step, it will take three to four days to accumulate.

And now there is this income in just one round of trading.

And the most important thing is that this product is not difficult to sell, and there are still many people waiting to buy it with points.

Therefore, the trading alliance headed by Catwoman Abe has expanded its scale again.

The number of people has been raised to 60 in one breath, and it has immediately absorbed a larger amount of funds!

"22,000 points of fresh water, and 10,000 points left to buy food!"

"No problem."

Thinking about the inventory in the studio, Su Mo nodded slightly.

If I hadn't stopped yesterday to charge the decomposition machine, I would have decomposed and purified fresh water and generated raw materials all day.

Now this huge order may take half a day to make up for the gap.

But after staying for a day, the amount of purified water stored in the studio has exceeded 400 liters.

Taking out 220 liters for trading is not a problem at all.

As for food, it is even more abundant. Any plant in the desert can be decomposed into carbohydrates and synthesized into flour.

Even if nearly 500 breads emptied the inventory at one time, Su Mo was not worried about the lack of food in the future.

"Dear human lord Mr. Su Mo, thank you for your generosity!"

Counting the number of transactions, Barry happily transferred all the points in the manual without feeling distressed.

Just for fresh water, today's profit can exceed 8,800 points!

Add these popular foods, and the turnover will exceed the 40,000 mark.

After this round, the income is nearly 15,000 points.

Even if the number of people in the alliance has risen to 60, each person can be allocated 250 points!

Adding the daily tasks on weekdays, maybe you can really save up several 5,000 points before leaving the main competition.

Buy a few precious "Bloodline Evolution Pills" from the merchants to greatly improve your strength and potential!

"If everything goes well, I will stay at the exit of the terrain for a day or two."

"Understood."

Still using the magical shrinking technique, Barry quickly led people away with the shrunken supplies.

Looking at the number on the manual that has reached 56,585 at this time.

Su Mo laughed dumbly, but he was no longer as excited as he was when he got a large amount of points yesterday.

After the first round of funds, the rest of the snowball will come naturally.

As long as this business can be maintained for a few more times, the number of points can easily exceed 100,000 or 200,000.

If you can find similar profit points in the next terrain in the future, it is not uncommon to earn a million points in a main competition.

"If I see that rare sales order again now, will I buy the Refiner route?"

Su Mo's eyes flashed with a strange color, and a special impulse suddenly rose in his heart.

Authority is authority, power is power.

As a native Chinese, it would be a lie if I didn't have a heart for such a legendary thing.

And if I can get the Refiner route, and then combine it through infinite energy, what will be the result?

"Don't think about it. If I can meet it again next time, I'll talk about it."

Going back to find the merchant to refresh and try my luck is definitely not feasible. The route is not that important.

Su Mo quickly put this newly raised thought behind his mind and began to arrange the last section of the road in the Earth Fire Desert.

First, he repaired a few sand boards. After replacing them with the collected materials, it only cost 9 points, which was a surprise.

In addition, the prototype of the truck frame was built yesterday and all were put away in the studio.

Including fresh water and collected plants, the studio popped up a warning of overweight.

In order not to affect the daytime operations, Su Mo had to spend another fifty points to upgrade the storage module of the studio, increasing its maximum storage capacity to 1,200 kilograms.

But correspondingly, the weight after full load also reached 120 kilograms.

"Just let me carry it, this is nothing, our previous migration was much harder than this!"

After eating and drinking, Qi Jie weighed it and carried the large module on his back without hesitation.

Since becoming a lord and seeing all kinds of people, Su Mo has rarely felt appreciation for an ordinary person.

It's not because of his high status that it's difficult to contact these people.

But after seeing too many powerful people, his horizons have been improved too much.

But now, Qi Jie's performance made him brighten his eyes and see some qualities that ordinary people can only have, independent of geniuses.

"Perhaps there are many people like Qi Jie in the territory, but we just lack a channel to discover them."

"What Qiao Yuansheng suggested is correct. Management talents must be cultivated from the basics."

Keeping this in mind, Su Mo decided to start the first talent selection meeting after returning to the territory.

As the territory continued to expand, there was a gap in management talents.

Selecting a group of people with good character to supplement them will definitely increase the speed of expansion.

And now.

Although Qi Jie looked like he was taking on a lot of responsibilities, Su Mo was unwilling to really put all his courage on him alone.

After paying some material costs, Guan Mao and Zhang Jun happily accepted this not-so-hard work of carrying.

Following the oasis, the group identified the direction and set off again.

Because of the rolling volcanoes, the efficiency of the sailing sandboard increased again.

Before noon, they arrived at the fifth stage of the Earth Fire Desert in advance, which is also the last stage.

"We are almost out!"

Standing on the top of the mountain and looking towards the exit, you can already see that the sky in the distance is no longer as monotonous as in the desert.

Those yellows also seem to have a gap at the end and disappear abruptly on the ground.

Compared with the previous stages, the number of oases in the fifth stage has increased dramatically.

Just in the place that can be seen by the naked eye, Su Mo saw no less than three places, and the size is much larger than that of the fourth stage.

However.

Going to the nearest oasis, the fresh water inside is still the daunting Earth Fire Spring.

And as we got closer to the exit of the desert, the side effects of the Earth Fire Spring also changed from small to medium.

"It seems that this fresh water business can continue."

Su Mo raised his eyebrows, as if he didn't expect that the game didn't set up water supply even after the exit.

Could it be that the next terrain is still short of water?

"Rest, and continue to set off in half an hour."

Eat, drink water, and take a nap.

After getting used to the desert for a few days, even Xi Ruyue has adapted to such a high-intensity journey.

Without too much delay, everyone knew that they could have a good sleep at the exit at night.

So after a simple repair, they put on the sand board and set off again.

At about five o'clock in the afternoon, they finally arrived at the exit of the Earth Fire Desert.

"The second terrain is. Canyon?"

"The back is the plain?"

Climbing up and looking far away, looking at the straight crack in the distant earth, and the crisp green extending from the back to the front.

Su Mo couldn't help but feel surprised.

Although he guessed that the difficulty of the Earth Fire Desert might be ranked at the top among the nine terrains, he did not expect that the game would actually give two similar welfare terrains after the desert.

This canyon is at most a dozen kilometers long, and the contestants can walk out of it in a few hours with their feet.

As for the plain, it is not clear to see too many specific conditions deeper.

But at the exit of the canyon, where it borders the plain, Su Mo can still see a lot of fruit trees full of red fruits standing on the ground.

The lush greenery, the red and green, make people secrete a sour water in their mouths.

"Great, we finally left this damn desert!"

"Lord Su, why don't we make a concerted effort and walk to the plain today before resting?"

Zhang Jun and Guan Mao couldn't help cheering, their eyes full of joy of being out of the sea of ​​suffering.

Xi Ruyue, who pursed her lips, also wiped her sweaty face, and couldn't help but secrete a little hot tears in her eyes.

It's too hard!

Excluding the two days of rest, in five days, they trekked 600 kilometers in this damn Earth Fire Desert!

Even if you think about it later, even if you suddenly dream about it, it is definitely a nightmare.

Of course, this is still the case when you encounter Soma.

If one person is walking in this desert, the three of them looked at each other, and there was relief in their eyes.

"Let's go, go to the oasis over there to rest. There seems to be a merchant at the dividing line. Go and have a look."

After descending the last volcano, there is less than ten kilometers left to the dividing line.

And within this distance, the game does not set other difficulties, but instead sets up a huge oasis.

Two kilometers ahead of the oasis is the dividing line, and you will enter the canyon as soon as you step in.

However, the moment the five people arrived at the oasis, the manuals in their arms all vibrated.

Take it out, automatically turn the page, and new text appears.

[Congratulations to player ‘Su Mo’ for successfully crossing the main race terrain ‘Earth Fire Desert’]

[Congratulations to player ‘Su Mo’ for successfully completing the challenge mission ‘Desert Warrior’]

[As the 16th contestant who successfully crossed the ‘Earth Fire Desert’, you can choose to receive any two of the following additional rewards based on your performance]

[1. Terrain knowledge right, you can know the additional rules of the next terrain (mandatory)]

[3. A large piece of black bread (2kg)]

[4. Main race points * 300]

[5. Merchant coupon (30%, maximum deduction of 1,000 points; not tradable)]

“16th place?”

Surprisingly, he was not the first. Su Mo thought about it and understood the reason.

Perhaps it was because of the two days of rest, which delayed a lot of time, which led to someone getting there first.

But looking at the current rewards, Su Mo didn’t think the first place would give anything good.

"I choose the first and fifth."

Food and fresh water are of course worth mentioning, and 300 points are not very attractive now.

Su Mo made his choice, and the manual trembled again, automatically turning to the blank page at the back.

Similar to the prompt game in the Earth Fire Desert, lines of text began to appear.

[Terrain: Rolling Stone Canyon (Difficulty: Four Stars)]

[Description]: The overall terrain of the Rolling Stone Canyon shows a downward trend from high in the front to low in the back, with a length of fifteen kilometers.
