Digging To Survive: I Can See Hints Chapter 20

"Yes! Do you want food or water?"
Klein's current demand in the market was for wind runes.
However, as long as it was a rune, he would accept it.
He wouldn't use it for the time being and could use it as a strategic reserve.
Alice had used runes to exchange for a piece of bread the last time, but this time, she didn't know what substance it was.
The girl looked like she had a good connection with the elements. She found another earth rune.
Alice said, "I want to sleep. Can I exchange one earth rune for 500 ml?"
Klein said, "Sure."
Alice: "???"
Alice said, "Since it's so simple, I should ask for more! Can I go back on my word?"
She had thought that it was the same as last time when she had been slashed.
Klein said, "It's useless to go back on your word. If you want to raise the price now, I won't agree."
He took precautions in advance to prevent the other party from raising the price.
Alice said, "Boss, you're too heartless! 500 ml of water is fine too. I haven't found any water for a day, and my mouth is so dry."
Klein said, "Okay, I'll connect it to you later. In the future, if you have anything good, you can look for me. I can give you a discount for my old customers."
Alice said, "Sigh, alright. If it weren't for the fact that I can't exchange for water now, I wouldn't be willing to use runes to exchange for it."
Back and forth, he had conned two runes from her.
Klein didn't feel any guilt. Everyone took what they needed.
Runes. It was temporarily difficult to exchange for food and water outside.

He estimated that in another three to five days, the food and water trade would gradually appear.
When that time came, the price would definitely rise.
Even as a player, he wouldn't be the only one to find the water-making equipment.
A moment later.
[System notification: 500 ml of water completed transaction, Earth Rune+1]
After the transaction ended, Alice sent another message:
"Even though this water is enough to last me for a few days, I've seen you trade water many times today. Did you dig up a water source? Or do you already have the ability to make water? In my regional channel, someone dug up a water-gathering item, and the materials required to make it are especially high."
A water gathering basin?
Klein guessed that it was probably similar to a water gathering basin.
It could also be that Alice was lying.
As for the reason, she probably wanted to get some information from Klein.
Klein thought for a moment and replied, "Help me ask if they want to exchange a water gathering basin. The price isn't a problem."
If there really was a water gathering basin, it would naturally be good to get it.
It wouldn't be a pity if it didn't have a name.
Alice said, "Alright, I'll help you pass the message."
The other party seemed to understand that Klein wouldn't answer the question, so she didn't continue to pester him.
He wouldn't go too far.
It wasn't as far as Klein could go.
"Continue cooking dinner."
Pork soup was made by adding 600 ml of water into the pot, followed by adding 1 ladle of octopus meat.
Normally, if one wanted pork soup, they would need more water.
But to conserve water, there was no harm in drinking some soup.
Two pieces of meat were cut into slices and put into the water to boil thoroughly.

Then, some seasoning was added.
Two bowls of steaming hot broth came out of the pot.
During this period of time, Alice sent a message saying that the others didn't plan on selling the water gathering basin.
Klein could only give up.
After dinner, the water condenser had stopped functioning.
The transactions used 500 ml, the preparation of the broth used 600 ml, and the watering of the meat field. The current stock was 1,100 ml.
The wood resources were all used up.
"It'll take about 10 hours until daybreak. I'll exchange for 50 pieces of wood first."
Klein opened the transaction channel and continued to sell water resources.
As for the price, it was the same as last time.
[Seller: Klein]
[Item: 15 ml Mineral Water]
[Requirement: 1 Wood]
[Stock: 50]
[Transaction Settings: You can complete a transaction only once.]
[Seller's Message: If there are special items, it can be privately communicated. Water is not a problem.]
..
Inventory: 50, a total of 750 ml of water. That was too extravagant!
The put up sale once again caused a heated discussion in the chat channel.
Some people suspected that Klein had a water-making device, while others said that he might have dug into an underground river.
There were many strange ideas.
In just a dozen seconds.
All 50 sets of transactions were completed!
Klein added 40 more pieces of wood to the water condenser.
He didn't immediately activate the water condenser.
It had been operating for half a day, so it needed to rest for an hour or two.
"There's 350 ml of water left. I can first make a set of healing medicines."
Klein turned to the manufacturing interface.
[Ordinary Healing Medicines: Fluorescent Grass 5/2, Black Vine 8/2, Cold Play Grass 9/3, Red Flower 6/3, Water 350ml/200ml]
[Selected items.]
[Selected production.]
[System notification: Fluorescent Grass-2, Black Vine-2, Cold Play Grass-3, Red Flower-3.]
[System notification: Ordinary Healing Medicine has been successfully produced]
In the stone bowl in front of Klein, there was an additional bowl of sticky black medicinal paste.
[Checking the details...]
[Ordinary Healing Medicine: It won't let you down just because it doesn't look good. In the subterranean world, healing medicine is a good thing that can be trusted. External medicine can quickly heal wounds, and internal medicine can treat internal injuries. It's a must-have item for adventures.]
It was different from the anesthetics.
One set of healing medicine could only be used once.
Klein put away the healing medicine and continued reading his private messages.
He was quite lucky.
He traded another piece of Yellow Sand Octopus meat for fire runes.
Unfortunately, there was still no sign of the wind runes.
Just as Klein thought that he wouldn't receive any wind runes today, he successfully sold the cured meat and water that had been put up there for an entire day.
As a result, the runic crossbow was ready to be made.

(Re)Install
After his death, Garry, AKA Gaz, is summoned by a nameless goddess to another world and tasked with a very important mission, the main characters sets out to travel around in search of a way to accomplish his objectives and live happily ever after.The catch? The mission is to save the same goddess, who've been sealed away for all eternity in who knows where. Having little to no energy left, she was unable to create a decent blessing, so Gaz is left with a weak body in a savage world that he knows nothing about.Also, did i mention he wasn't reincarnated as a human? Neither as a beast? Well...His actual body might actually not be that bad. As long as he survives the first day, of course.-------------Okay, some of you might know from Insania Online, some don't, so might as well explain it here. This is a Re: (ish) style story, with a Scifi (ish) setting and some fantasy (ish) assets (precision is overrated). This is kind of a side project I will work while I take a break from insania.This is a crazy idea i had thanks to a certain game's trailer, and decided to write it. Even if it starts fairly serious, it will probably have a lot of wacky comedy, so don't say you haven't been warned and don't try to take it too seriously. Really. If you are expecting a dramatic and heavy story, this is very probably not what you want(who knows? I'm just starting it...).
