Quick Transmigration: Reversing the Life of a Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character

As she watched the sky gradually darken outside the window, she flipped through the octopus app while opening her virtual screen. There were many private messages. After filtering out those asking for help and supplies, a private message from half an hour ago caught her attention.

Ji Mingyuan: "Hello, I have gunpowder. Do you have any wound medicine and gauze?"

Luo Xuening: "Are you still there?"

Ji Mingyuan: "Yes, I have some gunpowder. I'd like to exchange it for medicine and gauze."

Luo Xuening: "Okay, here's some hemostatic powder and a roll of gauze."

Ji Mingyuan initiated the transaction. Luo Xuening poured out one-third of the hemostatic powder, wrapped it in paper, and then put a roll of gauze over it before clicking to complete the transaction.

A normal serving of hemostatic powder is quite large, about half a pound, and one-third of that is already a lot.

Ji Mingyuan's vision went black. He had been cut in the stomach by a large crab. The wound was too big, and simple bandaging was not enough to stop the bleeding. He had asked many people, and the comrades he had contacted had also asked around for him. He didn't know if the medicine was too precious or if no one had been able to get the medicine or exchange it.

He had originally given up, intending to trade all the supplies he had to his comrades so that they wouldn't go to waste if he died.

Unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better. The person who hadn't replied before suddenly responded, and had some hemostatic medicine and gauze in hand.

Ji Mingyuan received the powder and immediately applied it to his wound. The powder was of excellent quality, and the bleeding stopped as soon as it was applied. After bandaging, he took out some food to replenish his strength.

Yang Xin: "Squad leader, how are you?"

Zhang Cheng: "Captain, I've changed the bandages. You can take them."

Below is a series of greetings; they have a unique contact code and are connected on the same day they enter.

Ji Mingyuan: "It's alright. We've changed the hemostatic medicine and gauze; the bleeding has stopped now."

Zhang Cheng: "That's great, great, Captain. Are you running low on supplies? I'll give you some food."

Yang Xin: "Yes, I have that too. What else do you need?"

Li Qiang: "I have some meat here, pork from a treasure chest. At this time, eating pork is better than eating seafood."

Ji Mingyuan: "No need. The other side didn't take advantage of my situation. I traded gunpowder for it. I have all the food here. Does anyone have any spare gunpowder? Trade it to me first; I need to build the defensive towers today."

With such severe injuries, he'll need to rest for at least a few days and won't be able to fight anymore. We'll have to rely on the defensive towers to defend against the marine life attacks.

Yang Xin: "Yes, yes, I have some. Here, take it."

The chances of gunpowder appearing are not high, and Yang Xin only has one copy, but he is not injured and can deal with the nighttime attack on his own.

The group gathered some other supplies and upgraded Ji Mingyuan's ship to level four, allowing him to rest peacefully for a few days thanks to the ship's inherent defenses and defensive towers.

Luo Xuening enjoyed a delicious meal of grilled octopus legs, tidied up briefly, and then went out to check on the defensive towers that had already been built.

"Basic defense tower, upgradable, can automatically acquire targets, cooldown time is half an hour after ten shots."

Luo Xuening glanced at the resources needed to upgrade the defense tower: spirit orbs, gunpowder, and refined steel—another new type of resource.

As darkness fell and the sea remained calm, Luo Xuening lit a torch and placed it on the deck. She then returned to the crafting table, retrieved the blueprints for the water purifier, gathered the necessary materials, and placed them inside to begin constructing the water purifier.

The preparation time is 30 minutes. She opens the virtual screen, puts food on the trading area, and continues to trade various basic materials such as wood, copper bars, iron nails, glass, and ceramics.

I originally wanted to promote it on the public chat channel, but as soon as it was listed, I started getting a constant stream of successful transaction notifications, especially for wood trades, which sold out almost instantly.

Luo Xuening raised an eyebrow: "It seems I've already gained a reputation, and someone's eyeing my shelves."

She restocked the shelves made of wood and nails, which were the fastest-selling items, and they were quickly sold out again. It seems that food is still a hard currency.

She transferred the materials she had acquired through the transaction into her spatial artifact, emptied the compartments of her spatial backpack, and then went to bed.

midnight

"Warning! Warning! Marine life approaching!"

When the system warning sounded, Luo Xuening opened her eyes and glanced at the time: 23:17.

Then, when I put on my waterproof coat and went out, the first wave of attacks had already arrived, and the defensive towers had been activated.

"Level 1 Sharp-tailed Fish, dead. One Fire-type Spirit Orb and two pounds of fish meat. Automatically collected."

"Grade 1 giant claw shrimp, dead. Two scales, a bag of tomato seeds, and two pounds of shrimp meat have been automatically collected."

"A first-grade fanged fish, dead. One sharp tooth, a piece of skin, two pounds of meat, and half a pound of intestines have been automatically collected."

"Huh? This fanged fish is spewing out all of its own parts?" Luo Xuening touched her injured wrist, standing at the doorway, not going near the railing.

The turret has entered its cooldown period and can be used again in half an hour.

Luo Xuening emptied the compartments of her backpack, putting items that needed to be kept fresh into her soul space and the rest into her spatial artifact. In her previous world, she had crafted a spatial artifact that could preserve food, but that required crystals as an energy source and was not as useful as her soul space.

The ship rocked slightly, and there was a sound of impact, but it wasn't serious. Luo Xuening hesitated for a moment, then decided to rely on the ship for defense. She turned around and went into the room.

Take out the water purifier that has already been completed in the manufacturing station.

Please select a placement location.

Luo Xuening chose to place it in the corner of the kitchen.

"A pipe needs to be connected to the bathroom; 3 ceramic pieces and 1 plastic piece are required. Would you like to connect?"

"Plastic?" Luo Xuening clicked on the trading area, where she still listed food to exchange for plastic.

On the other shelves, only gunpowder and fiber rope had not yet been traded, indicating that these two items were still scarce.

Just as I was about to close the trading area, a private message popped up.

Ji Mingyuan: "I have plastic, do you have an antidote?"

Luo Xuening: "You've been poisoned again?"

This is so unlucky!

Ji Mingyuan: "No, it's my comrade. One piece of plastic isn't enough to exchange for the antidote. I also have refined steel, glass, ceramics, and spirit beads. What do you need?"

Luo Xuening: "One piece of plastic, one piece of stainless steel, in exchange for one antidote pill."

She didn't ask for an exorbitant price; she only exchanged what she needed most at the moment: a bottle of antidote pills she had previously received, containing ten pills.

Ji Mingyuan: "Okay, just a moment."

Before long, the transaction was initiated. In addition to the plastic and stainless steel she wanted, she also added five pounds of fish.

Luo Xuening handed over an antidote pill and accepted Ji Mingyuan's friend request. Once they became friends, she could see his clear profile picture. He was a young man with a resolute appearance, clear eyes, and a demeanor like a soldier.
