Chapter 27 (2/2)

These materials were easy to find because they had once been on Earth.

Zhang Bei searched for the nano ropes and found a bundle of nano ropes listed on the Exchange Platform. The seller was asking for a half month’s worth of food for it.

“It’s expensive.” Zhang Bei frowned. After all, food was still the most precious thing in space.

Using half a month’s worth of food to exchange for this nano rope was still quite a loss.

But Zhang Bei thought, “Maybe it can be bargained?” So he sent a transaction message: Hello, are you online?

After about five minutes, the other party replied. “Yes, do you want to buy this nano rope?”

Zhang Bei didn’t answer directly. He only said, “What is your final price?”

The other party: “If you really want it, you need to give at least ten days’ worth of food.”

Zhang Bei thought for a moment. After all, he did not have much food now.

“A week’s worth of food, deal?

The other party refused. “One week’s food is not enough. That is too little. When I got this thing, it happened to be during the meteor rain. I was almost killed that time. This thing really cost me my life. One week’s food is really too little. You need to add a little more.”

Zhang Bei thought for a moment. “How about this? A week’s worth of food, and a piece of flint. What do you think?”

“Sure, deal.”

Then, Zhang Bei packed the things and placed them aside. He confirmed the transaction.

Soon, the other party confirmed the exchange. The nano rope appeared beside Zhang Bei.

Zhang Bei felt that the nano rope was similar to an ordinary rope, but no matter how hard he cut it, sawed it, or burned it, he couldn’t break it. It was extremely firm.

Then, he searched for other items written in the blueprint. There was nothing else in the Exchange Platform, so he closed it and looked at the world channel to see what they were talking about. Was there any clue about the things he was looking for?

Ever since the disaster passed, the cosmologist had been sending today’s news on the world channel.

“I watched the blackspot activities in the sun today. It’s not as frequent, and there’s no problem with the movement and orbital velocity of various planets. Today is a safe day. I hope everyone is well.”

Some people replied one after another to express their gratitude. Then, someone began to chat. “Recently, I seem to feel that there’s more food, but I still can’t find tools. For example, I picked up two roasted chickens some time ago, but I could only eat them cold. I had a stomach ache in the middle of the night.”

“Yes, I still haven’t found a fire source. Once it’s dark, I can only lie down and sleep. Who can keep on sleeping for 24 hours? There is no night life either. It’s so boring.”

“Don’t mention it. I picked up a lighter a few days ago, but it exploded after I pressed it a few times. Now, there’s a huge cut on my hand that’s bleeding.”

“Hahahahaha, brother, that’s so tragic. I picked up a steamed bun a few days ago and it fell to the ground. I took off the soil-covered skin and stuffed it into my mouth. Although it’s very hard, it was carbohydrates.”

“Stop talking. I picked up a piece of bread a while ago. It was as hard as a biscuit. Then I soaked it in mineral water and drank a few mouthfuls a day. I have to make do with it to not starve to death..”
