Space Survival: My Teammates Are All Top-Tier

After taking a few deep breaths, Jiang Shi's Adam's apple bobbed as he suppressed the stirrings of his heart.

When she looked up again, a natural smile was already on her face.

"Oh, I was looking at my character panel, thinking about a strategy for collecting resources, and I got a little distracted."

To further change the subject, Jiang Shi simply turned around and took out the first-tier energy stone that he had promised to lend her from his storage space.

When it was handed to her.

"Miss Guo, please take this raw stone for now. Keep up the good work when you go out of the spacecraft to collect supplies next time."

Guo Wanxing nodded, her fingertips trembling slightly as she took the raw stone.

Looking down at the faintly glowing rough stone in his palm, he whispered his gratitude, "Thank you, I will definitely repay you..."

The moment she finished speaking, her eyelashes trembled, and a hint of panic flashed in her eyes.

She's afraid of the dark...

It was a childhood trauma etched into her bones, which was also the root cause of her last emotional breakdown.

But Guo Wanxing didn't want to be overlooked, so she pursed her lips tightly, the panic in her eyes disappeared, but her earlobes were still faintly red.

Jiang Shi didn't notice, he just nodded slightly and looked back at the screen.

And so, the two of them awkwardly spent the next three hours, until a crisp voice broke the awkward atmosphere.

"Big brother, Sister Guo, you can go and rest now!"

Jiang Shi and Guo Wanxing turned their heads at the same time and saw Bai Yubing pulling Wang Xiaoxiao, who was rubbing her eyes and yawning, over.

The little girl's eyelids were almost glued together, but she still tried her best to puff out her little chest, looking like she was ready to take over.

"Captain, you've arrived, so I'll be leaving now."

Jiang Shi stood up, nodded to Bai Yubing, and completed the handover.

Then, as if fleeing, he turned around and rushed towards compartment 7 without even looking back.

"call……"

Back in his 15-square-meter cabin, Jiang Shi sat down against the wall and let out a long breath.

Before me were two ordinary treasure chests, one fine treasure chest, and two white cards with question marks printed on them.

"Three treasure chests, two cards... let's see what good stuff we can get."

Jiang Shi rubbed his hands together, a look of anticipation flashing in his eyes. He picked up a white card in each hand and concentrated, silently chanting, "Use!"

A white light flashed, and Xiao Ai's voice rang out: "Congratulations, Master! You have obtained 1 Ordinary Sweet Potato Vine and 1 Ordinary Wooden Round Shield!"

"Sweet potato vines?!"

These two words struck Jiang Shi like a thunderbolt, and he immediately grabbed the vine that was about 30 centimeters long.

It has a few tender leaves and some fine roots at the base.

"Sweet potato vines, they really are sweet potato vines..."

Jiang Shi couldn't help but let out a low shout and slapped the cabin wall.

In times of food scarcity, sweet potatoes are a lifesaver.

More precious than corn and wheat, it is tolerant of poor soil, has a high yield, and can be stored for a long time. The vines can be eaten as vegetables, and the tubers can stave off hunger.

Even if eating too much causes heartburn, it's still a million times better than starving to death.

As long as he can grow this vine, even on a small scale, he will never have to worry about food again.

"With these sweet potatoes, it's hard to starve!"

Without a second thought, Jiang Shi went to a flowerpot and planted the sweet potato vine.

The movements were very light and careful.

Then, after looking at the other two empty flowerpots, he immediately took out two corn seeds and buried them in them.

Four flowerpots were arranged in the four corners of the cabin, all planted with crops.

Previously, Jiang Shi thought there wasn't enough space and disliked having them arranged in the four corners. After some effort, he arranged them in a row.

Next comes watering.

When watering the plants, Jiang Shi saw that a full 5 liters of water had been used, and his lips twitched with heartache.

In space, water is a rare resource.

But looking at the four flowerpots, he felt that the 5 liters of water were worth it.

After planting the crops, Jiang Shi picked up the wooden round shield, weighed it in his hand, and found it to be very light and with limited defensive capabilities, but better than nothing.

He casually tossed the round shield into his storage space, then turned his gaze to the three treasure chests, opening them with one hand.

Three beams of white light shot out in succession, accompanied by Xiao Ai's announcements:

"Congratulations, Master! You have received two lighters, one tin-clay stove, one large aluminum pot, one pound of fine salt, and one rare-grade magnetic oxygen-hydrogen converter!"

"Lighter, stove, pot, salt..."

Jiang Shi took out the items one by one, showing little surprise, and smiled:

"This is forcing me to cook in space."

I squeezed the bag of salt; the salt grains inside the plastic bag made a rustling sound.

A pound of salt is an absolute luxury; in space, any resource is a lifesaver...

"It's a pity we have no fuel; we have neither wood nor charcoal. And we can't burn the energy stones!"

"Otherwise, we could boil some water right now and make a bowl of beef noodles to satisfy our cravings..."

Jiang Shi sighed, his initial excitement cooling down considerably.

I put all the kitchen utensils back into the storage space, and finally fixed my gaze on the silver-gray machine.

That rare magnetic oxygen-hydrogen converter is only half the size of a household water purifier. It's a flat cuboid with just a few indicator lights and a small screen on its surface, and it looks quite ordinary.

"Xiao Ai, what's this thing for? The name sounds really cool, but I've never seen it before!"

"Master, water is also called hydrogen dioxide (H₂O), which is composed of hydrogen and oxygen atoms. This machine captures free hydrogen and oxygen atoms in space and synthesizes them into liquid water. It can store up to 15 liters of water, which can be retrieved at any time."

"15 liters?!"

"With such a small body, it can hold 15 liters of water?"

"Master, there's no need to be alarmed. There's a 15-liter space stone inside that can be used as a water storage device."

"I see!" Jiang Shi scratched his head, but the thought of being able to create water directly from space made him even more excited than when he saw sweet potato vines.

Having this machine means he has a stable water source.

Just then, Jiang Shi immediately thought of his talent: If I could find out the materials and mass-produce them, wouldn't I be able to become a space water tyrant?

Thinking it over, he immediately used his talent on machines, and a virtual panel appeared before his eyes:

稀有级磁吸氧氢转化机製造材料：钛合金60kg、铜30kg、铁10kg、硅墨矿30kg、15升空间石1枚、黄金1kg。

Looking at the list, Jiang Shi's brows furrowed instantly: "Xiao Ai, are these space stones really that rare?"

"Master, space stones are rare minerals containing spatial properties. They are mostly found in special regions of the universe or in stellar debris, and can also be obtained through high-level treasure chests. They're not too difficult to acquire!"

Xiao Ai explained.

Jiang sighed. The idea of ​​mass-producing machines had fallen through. Without space stones, it was all just empty talk.

But the next second, he suddenly raised his hand and slapped his forehead, hissing in pain: "How could I be so stupid!"

With a trading platform serving hundreds of billions of users, what can't you find?

Maybe someone has a space stone in their hand!

Jiang Shi immediately opened his personal panel and was about to tap the trading interface.

But suddenly he froze in mid-air as an even more brilliant idea popped into his mind.

"Wait a minute, would someone put such a rare item up for sale in the trading area?"

"No, no, why don't I make some things myself and sell them in the trading area?"

"Let's take a look first..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Shi tapped the trading area with his fingertip, and the interface displayed a small number of items available for trading.

You could say that on the first day in space, no one would be rich if they were willing to trade supplies!

However, these few items are mostly bartered, but strangely, they are all marked with the price of raw stones.

The posts were mostly about trading water and food, but raw stones became the universal hard currency:

For 100ml of water, some people traded half a compressed biscuit for it, while others offered 1 Tier 1 raw stone.

For 100 grams of rice, some people are willing to exchange it for 2 liters of water, while others are offering 3 Tier 1 raw stones.

……

Jiang Shi quickly glanced at the prices and found that they were all being advertised randomly, but the prices were all being suppressed.

There weren't any particularly outrageous prices, nor were there any particularly low ones; it all seemed like it was intentionally set up.

"No way, are these guys idiots? Why don't they try to make a quick buck?"
