Wow.

Wow!

The wind and sand in the sky are like locusts passing by, devouring all living creatures on the ground wantonly.

Yellow tornadoes gathered together, reaching directly into the sky. It really seemed like a giant dragon was swimming between heaven and earth.

It was already the early morning of the third day of the main race, and it happened to be the dead of night on the first day outside.

However, there are still many players hanging in the sky watching, and all of them are heartbroken.

"Fortunately, this natural disaster did not break out in the New World, otherwise it would have caused chaos!"

"It lives up to its name as a fire and dust storm. You can see sparks flying in the air."

"The participating players are in dire straits. Not only do they have to face water and food shortages, they also have to find ways to avoid this disaster."

"Hide? This small natural disaster is so abnormal, how do you still expect to hide until a large natural disaster comes?"

"The main race lasts only thirty days. On average, each terrain lasts just over three days. If you use it too much in the desert, what will you do with the remaining terrain?"

"Then what can be done? Can anyone survive this natural disaster?"

"Hey, don't tell me. Su Shen is an exception. The wind and sand outside are so strong that people in the house are not affected at all."

"What? A house?"

Earthfire Desert, the second stage, at the bottom of a sand dune.

The yurt-like studio unfolded, and sharp wind and sand constantly hit the walls, making a rustling sound.

Sometimes it's mild, sometimes it's intense.

But they were all blocked by solid materials and did not have any impact on the residents inside.

"Fortunately, I bought this studio yesterday, otherwise I wouldn't be able to sleep well at night."

I opened the simple curtains and looked out through the high-transparent plastic panels at the barren desert filled with yellow sand.

Sumo's eyes brightened slightly, and his energy level was obviously much better than yesterday.

Unlike a single tent where it is difficult to turn over at night, living in this studio is much more comfortable.

The space is large and warm inside.

Apart from the fact that there is no bed and my waist is a bit weak, I can't find any other faults.

"Lord, you're awake!"

The studio door opened, and a cheerful Qi Jie walked in, holding the collector he had buried last night.

Except for the slightly turbid color of the liquid, the amount of water collected was basically the same as the night before.

"You drink, I'm not thirsty yet."

Sumo waved his hand, not feeling thirsty at all.

Instead, I felt my stomach. The Earth Fire Reed I forcibly swallowed last night made me feel nauseated and heartburned.

This is a side effect.

Not only does it require a lot of drinking water, but it also affects the endocrine system of the eater to a certain extent.

Even the strong digestion power of route players cannot bear it.

Assuming that if things go on like this if no other food can be found, people may eat this reed too much and it may have to be discarded.

"How did they sleep last night?"

"In our corner, we made a small shed using collected reed poles."

Inviting other contestants into the studio for the night is also a form of help.

Even if they only need fifty points, the three people who are almost at the end of their rope are not willing to spend a penny more.

Following the position pointed by Qi Jie, Sumo glanced and saw a low triangular windproof awning erected near the studio.

One side faces the outside and the other side is attached to the wall.

As long as you can judge the direction well, you can basically ensure that you will not be affected by too much wind and sand.

"Those two aliens were so stubborn that they slept in the wind all night."

The two alien tribesmen didn't leave all night, and were waiting about three hundred meters away from the campsite.

It was clear that he was going to be used as meat on the hob, and wherever Somo went, they would follow him.

"It's okay, let these two guys follow, there will always be times when you can't hold on anymore."

"And the wind and sand are too strong right now. We won't leave for now. You have to go out and collect more reeds on the belt. I can use them."

He asked Qi Jie to collect more reeds and come back. The latter nodded happily and left.

Compared with rushing in such weather, just moving around is not very comfortable.

Seeing him leave, the three people who were still in the windproof tent quickly followed him, and their spirits also recovered a lot.

"I was still hesitating last night about whether to upgrade this thing, but now it seems that it is just needed."

Somo stood up, flexed his muscles, and took out the food processor from the corner and placed it on the countertop.

With a thought, the upgrade panel quietly unfolded.

[Modular food processor (one module)]

[Description]: A special machine manufactured using modular technology

[Upgrade Route 1]: Two-mode food processor (new modules are randomly added to bring other special attributes.)

Upgrade consumes items. Survival points: 168

[Upgrade Route 2]: Three-module food processor (two new modules are randomly added to bring other special attributes)

Upgrading items consumes survival points: 300

[Upgrade route three]: Modular food decomposer (change the internal structure of the device, add new functions, and can directly extract effective ingredients from food for synthesis)

Upgrading items costing survival points: 450

[Upgrade route four]: Modular food synthesizer (put in basic ingredients to synthesize food, and the machine will automatically extract the active ingredients inside the food and output the finished food)

Upgrading items costing survival points: 650

[Upgrade route five]: Modular gourmet robot (after it is turned on, it can automatically search for ingredients around it and decompose it to synthesize delicious food.)

Upgrading items consumes survival points: 1800

[Evaluation]: A qualified food processor should go out and look for food by yourself!

“So expensive”

Seeing the upgrade price of hundreds of points, Sumo felt a bit bitter.

This would be understandable if the survival point had not been revised, but the V1.1 version is a bit ridiculously expensive.

The most basic upgrade like this would cost 1,680 points when converted to the previous version.

The most expensive gourmet robot requires 18,000 points, which requires two months of accumulated survival points.

"Beyond the main competition, no matter how powerful this ingredient processor is, it can't compare to what the chef apprentices produce."

"in this way."

Thinking inwardly, Sumo quickly made a choice.

You only need to remove harmful substances from the reed, and the remaining high-quality protein and starch are enough to fill your stomach.

Although some food can be directly synthesized into active ingredients to produce finished food.

But consider that the price difference between the two can build another water generator, or generate forty bottles of water.

"Choose the third way to upgrade, the modular food decomposer!"

The item's survival points were deducted, and a green light emerged from Soma's fingertips, which began to change the internal structure of the food processor.

Tsk~

The sound of gears turning was heard, and the machine itself began to deform visibly.

First it shrunk a circle, and then suddenly expanded to more than double its original size.

The outlet on the back has been moved to the front, and some solar charging panels exposed to the outside have replaced their original positions.

And at the top of the machine, a palm-sized screen appeared.

“It’s exactly the same as the operating logic of an oil well!”

Sumo looked surprised and his eyes brightened slightly.

When I called up the properties panel again, it was completely different from before.

[Modular food decomposer (one module)]

[Description]: A special machine manufactured using modular technology. It is highly portable. Users can directly decompose ingredients in the wild and synthesize the most basic food components.
