Volume One, Chapter Fourteen: The Alluring Wildcat

Page (1/3)

However, just because Lin Yifan didn’t have it, it didn’t mean it wasn’t available in the market.

So, he replied directly to the seductive Wildcat:

“No problem with the food. As for the warm clothing, please wait for me a moment.”

After saying that, he began to search within the auction house.

Most of the purchase requests there were for food, but there were some seeking clothing as well.

Lin Yifan glanced briefly and chose a women’s cotton jacket, successfully trading three pieces of raw meat and two skewers of cooked meat for it.

Then he messaged the seductive Wildcat again: “How about you trade that pot of mugwort for these five pieces of raw snake meat and the cotton jacket? Do you agree?”

Seeing the cotton jacket and snake meat, the seductive Wildcat’s eyes lit up immediately and she quickly agreed to the trade.

After obtaining the mugwort, Lin Yifan planned to close the private chat with the seductive Wildcat.

But at that moment, she sent another message:

“Brother Ye, thank you for letting me eat my fill and keep warm. I don’t have many skills, but I’m fairly talented. If you ever feel lonely late at night, I can perform for you!”

“As long as you give me some food…”

Lin Yifan twitched the corner of his mouth, but he didn’t dislike the seductive Wildcat as much anymore.

She was able to offer mugwort and accept raw meat as payment, which meant she must have gone out during the day to gather supplies.

Otherwise, the fire wouldn’t have been lit.

Someone willing to fight to survive deserves respect, no matter what.

Not to mention, she had once been a popular internet celebrity adored by thousands on Earth, but here, she was just a weak woman with no power.

There was very little she could rely on, so it was understandable that she’d trade a bit of allure to live.

Therefore, Lin Yifan rarely replied:

“If I ever have such a need, I’ll consider you—but only if you’re still alive.”

“So, take care and survive well! Good luck.”

At that moment, the seductive Wildcat, who was roasting meat, instantly burst into tears upon reading those words.

Since arriving in this world, she had been drowning in despair every moment. Her former beauty and celebrity halo had shattered completely.

She had shown weakness and misery in the chat channels, all in hopes of getting a single bite to eat.

But the men only teased her; not one actually gave her any food.

Although her trade with Lin Yifan was fair, the respect he showed still moved her to tears.

Lin Yifan didn’t pay attention to what the seductive Wildcat was feeling; after acquiring the mugwort, he immediately reloaded it into the Quality Cultivation Soil.

Though there was already a blueberry plant growing there, the mugwort visibly perked up after being planted.

It wouldn’t be long before this mugwort grew significantly.

He had checked when he got the mugwort—though it had only four or five leaves, it could be divided into five units.

Making a batch of Strong Mosquito Repellent only required two units of mugwort, so once it grew a bit more, he could make quite a few portions.

The only pity was that he currently lacked mint.

Having tasted some success in the private channel, Lin Yifan finally stopped feeling impatient.

He opened each private message one by one, though most were nonsense.

“Brother, you have so much snake meat; why not give me some? We’re all compatriots. Helping each other is the way, and of course, I’ll thank you!”

“Brother, you’re a jerk! Trying to freeload? Not a chance! Blocked!”

“Boss, I have 1 billion saved in the bank. If you give me a piece of meat today, when we return to Earth, I’ll give you 1 million as a reward! Forever grateful!”

Earth is destroyed, and you still think you can go back? You must be crazy! Next!

“Cutie, I want to eat meat, but I don’t have the herbs you need. However, I have sexy legs and D-cup black lace bra to trade for meat. Is that okay?”

Attached were two photos.

One showed a pair of sexy legs, the other a grown woman’s cleavage.

Deep and alluring, even glistening with dew.

As for the black lace D-cup bra… well, that was a good thing.

Lace fabric could be used as rope, and in case of injury, even as a makeshift bandage.

The cotton padding inside was even better—it could filter water.

Though filtering water with that was a bit unsettling.

If the water ended up tasting like milk, that would be awful!

But he wouldn’t drink it; plenty of others would.

It was perfect for filtering some clean water in exchange for supplies.

“One piece of meat!”

“Deal!”

Lin Yifan’s offer was just out, and the other party agreed immediately!

He regretted not cutting the meat smaller—finger-sized pieces would have been better.

But since the trade screen was already out, he felt awkward to go back now.

Once he got the bra, Lin Yifan immediately removed the sponge inside to filter water.

Then he finished reading all the private messages.

Most were begging for food; a few wanted to trade.

Lin Yifan cut the remaining meat into small pieces and exchanged for anything useful.

He obtained a plastic watering can, a blueprint for a simple wooden bed, a spiny fruit, a small pinch of salt, and a piece of fresh ginger.

He planted the spiny fruit seeds and half of the ginger in the cultivation soil.

To live better in the future, self-sufficiency was key.

Collecting plant seeds was essential.

Not to mention, there was half a piece of ginger.

Cooking meat without ginger lacked soul!

Therefore, he had to cultivate ginger!

After planting both, Lin Yifan used the remaining half piece of ginger and salt to season the previously roasted snake meat.

Though just two seasonings, the taste was worlds better than before.

Satisfied, he ate all the remaining snake meat cleanly before exhaling deeply.

He then took out the three blueprints he had just traded for, wanting to see if he could craft them.

[Basic Workbench Blueprint]

Grade: Quality

Materials: Wood [icon] 20, Stone [icon] 10, Iron Nails [icon] 5

Wood and stone were not difficult to get, but those five iron nails directly stumped Lin Yifan!

So far, not a single iron nail had appeared in the entire Zone 10086.

Neither the auction house nor the chat channels had any.

So he had to temporarily set this blueprint aside.

Next, he looked at the second blueprint.

[Feathered Arrow Blueprint]

Grade: Quality

Materials: Bird Feathers [icon] 10, Wood [icon] 30, Iron Blocks [icon] 10

(Note: Each production yields ten arrows.)

Iron blocks and bird feathers—this was even harder to craft!

Lin Yifan forced a bitter smile.

Truly, a clever housewife can do nothing without rice!

He could only put this blueprint aside for now as well.

Only when he took out the last blueprint did his expression finally improve.

[Simple Wooden Bed Blueprint]

Grade: Rough

Materials: Wood [icon] 20

The materials were quite simple—just 20 pieces of wood.

This would be hard for others; otherwise, this blueprint wouldn’t have fallen into his hands.

But for Lin Yifan, it wasn’t too difficult.

Though most of the wood he had collected earlier was used to upgrade the shelter, he still had a dozen or so units left.

Though a little short, he had leftover snake meat and easily traded in the market for enough wood.

After learning the blueprint, he immediately crafted the wooden bed.

Soon, a small wooden bed that could only fit one person appeared before him.

And this simple wooden bed was truly simple!
