[Ding, system notification: 6 Iron Shards have been received.]
[Sold 2 Bone Bird Meat, sold 4 Bone Bird Feathers.]
The power of two billion survivors was truly enormous.
The items had just been listed, and Su Mu had already gathered enough Iron Shards to upgrade the Crystal Bracer.
Seeing some people complaining about Su Mu's goods on the trading forum, Su Mu smiled and replied:
[Meat from undead creatures is perfectly fine.]
[Non-toxic and harmless, just tastes strange at worst.]
[No deception here, no returns accepted in this store.]
Soon a flood of messages appeared below:
[Wow, Big Su Mu replied in the world channel! Group photo, group photo!]
[What eloquence! Is this the cultural heritage of L Nation people?]
[Big Su Mu, little sister is really hungry. Can you spare some food? (pics, pics)]
[Hey, the big white one upstairs, can you move? You're blocking my view of Big Su Mu.]
Since Su Mu himself was appearing on the trading forum, the buyer of the Bone Bird Meat didn't dare complain anymore.
After all, they didn't need the Iron Shards right now; exchanging them for some meat or throwing knives was fine.
But someone grew curious and asked:
[Big Su Mu, Iron Shards are materials used for upgrading equipment, right?]
[You now need both Broken Gold Grass and Iron Shards.]
[Do you already have two pieces of equipment?]
Seeing this comment, people in the world channel started speculating wildly:
[Yeah, Su Mu only trades for Broken Gold Grass and Iron Shards, which are both upgrade materials.]
[Does Big Su Mu already have two pieces of equipment? So jealous!]
[Looks like Su Mu got a piece of equipment from a boss drop after killing it.]
[So jealous! My newbie gear sucks. I want a different piece too!]
[Hmph, only two pieces of equipment, nothing special.]
[Other world first killers have two pieces too!]
[But don't forget, Big Su Mu's loot from the Special Reward Chest will always be more than yours, never less.]
...
Su Mu ignored the forum chatter.
Improving his own strength was more important than anything else.
[Iron Shard x3, Energy Stone x20, materials gathered. Proceed with upgrade?]
"Upgrade."
After arranging the materials, Su Mu began upgrading the Crystal Bracer.
A flash of light, and the upgrade was done quickly.
[Crystal Bracer]
[Quality: Rare]
[Level: 2+2, defense increased by 40%]
[Secondary Entry: Shatterglass]
[Description: A bracer that resists fatal blows. The shield glass is said to be made in Huaxia.]
With the upgraded Crystal Bracer on, Su Mu immediately felt a greater sense of security.
"The next location should be somewhere with a water source."
"Acid rain is coming in two days—having water is crucial."
But before worrying about getting water, Su Mu needed to buy some containers to hold it.
It would be embarrassing to reach the lake and realize he had nothing to carry water in.
"I remember someone selling bottles before."
"Not sure how they got the crafting recipe, but they probably weren't lying."
"Let's check it out."
Su Mu opened the trading market again to find the shop selling bottles.
...
"Sigh, no customers as expected."
"My goods really don't help people at this stage."
"If only I could have items as popular as Su Mu's."
"I think I'm the weakest first killer on the list."
A helpless round-faced girl was lying on a grass pile near the shelter, staring at her empty trade panel.
She had randomly gotten a decent newbie weapon and even earned a first-kill reward chest,
But she had been greedy and lost it all.
"Oh, a customer!"
"This name looks familiar."
"Ah, it's Su Mu!"
After some complaining, the girl was surprised when Su Mu actually came over to trade with her.
Startled, she quickly opened the chat with him.
[Meng Tianyi: Su Mu, do you want to buy bottles?]
[Su Mu: Make as many as your materials allow.]
Su Mu had five liters of Crimson Boar Blood to divide, and would need to hold water later—so he wanted as many bottles as possible.
So, Su Mu opened the store of the girl named Meng Tianyi.
While most traded survival items, this girl uniquely sold bottles—a rare exception.
[Meng Tianyi: Su Mu, I can't make bottles right now.]
[The materials to make bottles are Energy Stones.]
[And I don't have a single Energy Stone left.]
As she spoke, Meng Tianyi showed Su Mu an item panel:
[Handmade Knife]
[Quality: Excellent]
[Effect: Can drill holes into Energy Stones and other metals, making them into any tool.]
Su Mu slowly typed a question mark.
He remembered Meng Tianyi was on the first-kill leaderboard.
How did she manage to get a first kill using just a handmade knife?
