If you want to continue to improve your physical fitness, the only way is to make a serious elixir furnace to brew official elixirs.
After all, formal elixirs and elixirs are two completely different concepts.
Therefore, Fang Xiaoyue spent the next time walking towards a gathering place of humans in her memory.
After all, it would take too long to find the materials for refining the alchemy furnace by yourself, and it would delay things too much.
The situation is different in human gathering places. Any human gathering place has enough manpower to search the surrounding ruined cities and towns. They can even develop nearby mineral deposits and manufacture cold weapons and armor.
As for modern firearms, they are also found in places where humans gather.
However, after the war, human society completely collapsed, and the previous industrial system collapsed, making it impossible for most human gatherings to have the ability to produce modern firearms.
This is not surprising. Before the war, any arsenal required complete assembly lines, a large number of skilled workers, and sufficient production materials.
And all of this, humans today don’t have.
In a war, any arsenal is a key target for the enemy.
After all, only by attacking the enemy's arsenal can one's own side gain sufficient advantages.
But on the way forward, Fang Xiaoyue frowned and considered some things.
With his status as a loser, well, and his current physical fitness, entering and settling in a human gathering place is not a big problem.
But the only problem is that he doesn't have enough currency now.
After the war, the original paper currency systems of various countries naturally collapsed. No matter how much money you put, you can't buy a needle in a gathering place of mankind.
In fact, when human gatherings search for ruined cities and discover the vaults where banknotes were stored before the war, they often give up and leave.
After all, those banknotes are of too little use. Even if they are used as firewood, the smell they emit when burning is very unpleasant.
What's more, there is no shortage of firewood in the wild nowadays. Plants are growing crazily, making firewood one of the easiest resources to obtain.
In post-war human settlements, the initial method of trading was bartering.
But it was too inconvenient to exchange for things, so most of the places where humans gathered later issued their own currencies.
But many people do not settle in a human gathering place. They often search for materials in the wild and sell them in individual human gathering places.
There are also people who form caravans and shuttle between major human gathering places, making money by buying low and selling high.
This is the postwar business system.
But no human gathering place will recognize the currency issued by other human gathering places.
So now, important materials such as firearms, cold weapons, metal ingots, canned meat, etc. have become universal currencies in disguise.
But Fang Xiaoyue didn't have any of this. All he had was a stainless steel kitchen knife picked up from the ruined city.
And because of previous fights with pheasants, the blade of this stainless steel kitchen knife is somewhat uneven.
Therefore, during the next journey, every time Fang Xiaoyue encountered a ruined town, she would go in and search in order to find some materials that could be exchanged.
It's a pity that most of the ruined towns in this area have been raided several times, and any materials that can be used have been looted.
Even the aluminum alloy rolling shutter doors of some stores have been removed, leaving only empty stores lying there like monsters with gaping mouths.
Of course, Fang Xiaoyue did not gain anything at all.
While passing through a ruined town, he encountered a salamander.
This so-called salamander is naturally not the lizard made of flames in the high demonic plane, but a lizard that has mastered the ability to breathe fire.
However, its fire-breathing power was not very lethal, and the fireballs it spat out only had a temperature of 300 degrees, and had no sputtering ability. Therefore, after being dodged several times by Fang Xiaoyue, he drew his sword and chopped off his head.
The lizard meat was not delicious, but Fang Xiaoyue took out a spherical organ from the salamander's belly.
This is why salamanders can breathe fire
reason.
Since this thing was flammable and explosive, Fang Xiaoyue carefully wrapped it in leaves and put it in her backpack.
In Wang Xueyang's memory, the value of this thing is not low, and major human gathering places will buy it at a high price.
One is to study the fire-breathing ability of salamanders, and the other is to transplant it into humans so that humans can gain the ability to breathe fire.
Especially the second use is one of the main ways for many humans to obtain powerful abilities.
After all, many people want to obtain abilities similar to supernatural powers like breathing fire.
Once obtained, combined with human wisdom, combat effectiveness will undoubtedly be greatly improved.
Moreover, this thing is very useful after being used, and it only consumes physical strength. Compared with firearms that require bullets, it is very cost-effective.
It can be said that it is a transplant that will benefit you for life.
Of course, Fang Xiaoyue had no intention of transplanting this organ at all.
Not to mention that the success rate of transplantation is not very high now, and besides, in his opinion, the ability to breathe fire is really inferior.
In fact, despite the fact that there are many abilities similar to superpowers in this plane, in fact, the actual combat effects of these abilities are not very powerful, and they are more useful for intimidating the enemy.
Of course, no matter what, after having this spherical organ, Fang Xiaoyue will have the confidence to go to human gathering places.
Therefore, during the rest of the journey, he did not continue to waste time picking herbs, and moved faster while carrying his sister on his back.
At noon the next day, he arrived at the largest human gathering place in Province A.
This human gathering place is located in the southern part of the provincial capital. It was built by the founders of the human gathering place after clearing out several communities. The superior geographical location gives this human gathering place a huge advantage in gathering the population.
As a result, the population of this human gathering place has rapidly increased to over 500,000 in the past two years.
Of course, compared with the 13 million people in the provincial capital of Province A before the war, the population of this human gathering place was less than a fraction.
This shows how deeply the war has caused harm to human society.
The name of this human gathering place is Hope, and a high city wall is built between the walls of several communities, giving the entire human gathering place a sense of security.
This is not surprising. Although there are no zombies or the like in this ruined plane, those genetically reorganized beasts are not easy to mess with.
At night, if there were no walls, the entire human gathering place would probably be restless.
Outside the only city gate of the Hope Gathering Area stood a few guard soldiers who were lazing in the sun.
These guard soldiers are all powerful ability users. In addition to their own abilities, the firearms carried on their backs are enough to deter any peepers from daring to act rashly.
Fang Xiaoyue took her sister and registered some information at the door before being let in.
No human gathering place will refuse the entry of humans, but whether you can settle in a human gathering place depends on your own ability.
The biggest reason why wastes like Wang Xueyang are not accepted by human gathering places is that they are too weak and cannot make enough contributions to human gathering places.
Therefore, even if you can enter the human gathering place, in the evening, those who do not have an identity card hanging on their chest will be driven out of the human gathering place by the guard soldiers.
As soon as she passed through the gate, Fang Xiaoyue saw many people setting up stalls on the road in the community.
"Come and buy it! A good tape recorder! You can listen to songs! It will relieve your loneliness!"
"Come on, come on! Don't miss it when you pass by. This machete made of high-quality fine iron is a must-have for your outdoor travels."
.......
The various hawking sounds made Fang Xiaoyue feel familiar, as if she had returned to the market in the original world.
Wang Xiaoya also opened her big eyes curiously and looked around cautiously.
This was her first time coming to a human gathering place, and the bustling scenery she had never seen before made her a little nervous.
Fang Xiaoyue did not linger at those private booths.
He has the memory of Wang Xueyang. Many of these private stalls are full of scammers.
It is a scam, but if you want to buy the real thing, it is best to go to the official store in the gathering place to buy it.
Of course, the official store also means that the price is expensive.
When Fang Xiaoyue came to the official store at the gathering place, there was indeed a dazzling array of things inside, including daily necessities, clothes, electrical appliances, weapons, and even carefully made cakes, etc.
Fang Xiaoyue immediately found a clerk and took out the fire-breathing organ of the salamander.
Naturally, the clerk didn't recognize this kind of thing, so he hurriedly called a middle-aged man.
This middle-aged man was the appraisal expert in the store. He picked up the fire-breathing organ and looked at it. He couldn't help but look at Fang Xiaoyue with some surprise: "This is the fire sac of a salamander. This little brother is quite powerful."
This middle-aged man couldn't help but be surprised. After all, salamanders are quite dangerous beasts to most ability users.
It was really unexpected that a young man like Fang Xiaoyue with a child could actually hunt a salamander.
Of course, the middle-aged man was an appraisal expert, not an intelligence officer, so Fang Xiaoyue didn't care much about how he got the fire bag. After confirming the quality of the fire bag, he gave the store's purchase price.
2000 dollars.
This price is not low. You must know that in this official store, the price of an alloy steel knife is only 500 yuan, and a submachine gun plus 90 rounds of ammunition is only 1,800 yuan.
In other words, after Fang Xiaoyue sold this fire bag, he could buy a submachine gun and add bullets in an instant, switching from a shotgun to a cannon.
Of course, he couldn't waste money on buying a submachine gun.
Fang Xiaoyue asked about the customization business of the official store and asked to customize an alchemy furnace for herself.
Well, this is probably the first time that the official store has received such an order since it launched the customization service.
However, for an official store that can make cold weapons, making an alchemy furnace is not a problem.
Even if Fang Xiaoyue drew a sketch of an alchemy furnace with a very complicated structure.
Of course, the price of customization business is not low.
The clerk called a master blacksmith. After looking at the sketch of the alchemy furnace, the master blacksmith gave a high price that shocked most people.
5000 yuan!
This is not surprising. In the era of ruins after the war, due to the rapid decline of civilization and technology, the value of metals skyrocketed.
In particular, Fang Xiaoyue requested that it be made of anti-corrosion alloy. The value of the alloy itself is not low.
You must know that an alloy steel knife only weighs 3 kilograms, and an alchemy furnace, even one the size of a watermelon with a hollow interior, requires more than 20 kilograms of alloy to build.
In addition, building an alchemy furnace requires much more technology, time, and energy than building an alloy steel knife.
Therefore, even Fang Xiaoyue herself thinks that the price of 5,000 yuan is not high.
Of course, in this case, he will definitely not have enough money.
Fortunately, the official store now only requires him to pay a deposit of 2,000 yuan.
Of course, if he can't come up with the remaining 3,000 yuan balance when delivery comes, then the alchemy furnace will belong to the store.
As for whether the store reheats the alchemy furnace to make weapons or uses it for other purposes, Fang Xiaoyue has no control over it.
However, Fang Xiaoyue is not too worried about whether he can earn the final payment of 3,000 yuan in the next twenty days.
If you wander around the wild a lot, you can always encounter some powerful beasts. Besides, even if you don't encounter powerful beasts, it's easy to refine some elixirs and sell them to earn 3,000 yuan.
But if this happens, it can easily cause trouble.
After all, it is no longer the place where society was stable and law-enforced before the war.
An elixir like this that can enhance human physical strength, skin defense, and bone density will easily attract greedy eyes once it appears in front of others.
After all, compared with the organs of beasts, this elixir can be mass-produced!
Which means it’s a cornucopia!
Therefore, it is impossible for Fang Xiaoyue to sell the elixir unless absolutely necessary.
with official store
After signing the contract and paying a deposit of 2,000 yuan, Fang Xiaoyue sold her stainless steel kitchen knife.
This is also a helpless thing. He wants to rest in this human gathering place for a few days and let his sister who has been wandering with him in the wild for a long time relax. In this case, he will need money from this human gathering place.
If you don’t have money, you will be kicked out by the guards at night.
The stainless steel kitchen knife was made of good steel and sold for a high price of 150 yuan.
Don't think this is cheap, buying low and selling high is the only way for any business to make money.
Their official stores are not for charity either.
But having said that, in this gathering place, the currency value of 150 yuan is still very strong.
Fang Xiaoyue and her sister rented an official house in the gathering place for three days. Plus three days of food and some pastries for her sister, they only spent a total of 20 yuan.
This is not surprising. Compared with high-priced luxuries such as weapons and the like, the prices of things like renting a house and food are already very low.

Here, Pindao asks for a leave from all the book friends, brothers and sisters. It has been ten years since the last hemorrhoid surgery. Now the hemorrhoids are serious again. I have to take a few days off to have an operation first. I heard that the current surgery is in
It won't be that painful after the operation and the recovery is quick. I don't know if it's true or not. Anyway, Pindao's tolerance for pain has been tempered. I just hope that after doing it, I can manage it for more than ten years, and I will be satisfied.
