Survival of the Nation: My luck was a tiny bit worse.

According to this logic, a regular glass of chilled juice could be exchanged for a power plant.

If you're going to have the Creamy Double Layer Cheese Strawberry Storm Mochi Milk Foam Ice Juice, could you please switch to a nuclear power plant?

Ok……

It doesn't seem like it's impossible!

As he was thinking, a flash of white light suddenly appeared in Ou Yun's mind.

Ah, if this continues, will their technological capabilities surpass those of the real world?

It probably won't be that fast, hahaha...

*

And so the next day arrived.

Ou Yun was awakened by a very familiar clanging and banging sound.

The sound wasn't from construction—the two houses from Pakistan and the United States had already been topped out, and the mill and ice cellar were all arranged perfectly.

It wasn't the sound of fighting—Nanbei hadn't fought with anyone since the white fox married into the family, and the cat had returned to its usual self, at most occasionally bothering the cow.

Ou Yun closed his eyes and savored it for a while.

Oh……

Isn't that the sound of a supply crate?

Ou Yun suddenly sprang up from the hammock with a somersault, pushed open the window and looked down.

really.

In the square, Leng Ruolan was sitting cross-legged on the ground, with a row of supply boxes in front of her.

The gold ones were singled out and set aside, while the remaining silver, purple, blue, and white ones were arranged neatly, like a military training formation of college students.

Chen Hao stood to the side, writing furiously.

"Captain Leng, you're up way too early!"

Ou Yun yawned as he walked out of the house, a tuft of hair sticking up.

"What do you mean 'early'? The sun's already high in the sky."

Leng Ruolan didn't even look up, she was holding a silver supply box in her hand.

"You said last night that you wanted to open all the boxes except the gold one before we left, did you forget?"

"……oh."

I almost forgot.

Ou Yun originally planned to see if he could get some self-defense items.

Anyway, there are plenty of supply crates, so opening a few won't hurt.

So Leng Ruolan simply pushed the silver supply box in front of Ou Yun, "Come on, big brother, let's show it off."

"Uh... so early in the morning..."

He was afraid he'd have bad luck...

Leng Ruolan, however, said no, "Big brother, you can drive with peace of mind!"

Don't worry about it being outrageous.

Because the more outrageous the better...

That's what Leng Ruolan thinks anyway.

As if knowing what Leng Ruolan was thinking, Chen Hao added without hesitation, "Yeah, big brother, anyway, you got all these supply crates. Even if you don't open them, we won't touch them."

"Oh……"

After thinking about it, Ou Yun realized that there might actually be a way!

So it took the box, and without hesitation, it opened it with a snap.

The silver box, when opened, naturally gleamed with a silvery sheen.

"Whoa...!"

They had seen plenty of golden boxes, but they had never seen a silver one before.

The three people present stood head to head, watching the silver light in the box dissipate, revealing a palm-sized stone lying inside.

The stone is light blue all over, with a smooth surface and a shallow line in the middle, like the veins of a leaf.

A silver information panel floated out:

Congratulations on obtaining the item: a pair of communication stones!

[Note: Holding the communication stone in your hand and silently reciting the other person's name will allow you to conduct real-time voice communication with the holder within the restricted area, with no distance limit.]

"Oh, this is good stuff."

"Yes, it's good stuff."

"As expected of the eldest brother."

"As expected of the eldest brother."

However, Ou Yun looked at the stone and remained silent for two seconds.

"Shouldn't this kind of thing have been opened up from the start?"

"Um?"

"what?"

"No, think about it—"

Ou Yun began to analyze the situation calmly, "Every time we went out to hunt in the wild, we were out of contact. How worried must Brother Chen have been at home? He must be wearing out his binoculars by now!"

"Besides, we don't know if anything's happened at the camp while we're out there. If we'd had this earlier, would we have had to go through all this trouble?"

He got more and more agitated as he spoke. Leng Ruolan's head was buzzing, and she slapped him on the back of the head, "Keep your voice down! Nanbei is still sleeping!"

Chen Hao nodded, "Hmm... Big brother, you're right."

He picked up another sound transmission stone, saying, "It's not too late to have one now."

I held them in my hand and compared them; they had the exact same pattern and the exact same texture.

"We'll leave one at the campsite and take the other with us. That way, no matter how far we go, we can stay in touch."

Chen Hao's expression gradually turned serious. "This thing is still very useful. When you're out hunting, if something happens at the camp, you won't know at all. And vice versa—if you encounter danger outside, we won't be able to provide support."

"But now that we have this, the information gap has disappeared."

Ou Yun said, "Of course! So how do you use this stone? Just silently say its name?"

That's what the instruction manual says.

Leng Ruolan held one of the pieces in her hand and closed her eyes.

Then the stone in her hand lit up and emitted a soft buzzing sound.

At the same time, the one in Chen Hao's hand also lit up.

Leng Ruolan picked up the stone: "Feed me?"

Then, from the stone in Chen Hao's hand, her voice clearly came through: "Hey, feed me?"

Ou Yun exclaimed, "It's connected!"

"The sound quality is pretty good, with no static."

Leng Ruolan put the stone into her pocket.

"I'll take this one. Brother Chen, you keep this one at the camp and contact us at the same time every day. If there's any emergency, call us anytime."

"clear."

As Ou Yun looked at it, a question popped into his head: "Wait, can this stone only communicate between two people? Can it be used for group chat?"

Leng Ruolan said that couldn't be right, "There's only one pair, how can we have a group chat?"

"What if something happens at the camp and Brother Chen contacts us, but we're not together?"

"Then have Brother Chen contact me, and I'll pass it on to you."

"Doesn't that add another step to the process?"

"Then open another box and see if you can open another one."

"...Alright then."

Ou Yunxin thought to himself that opening one or several cars is the same as opening a car.

So he picked up a purple supply crate and opened it with a snap.

The purple light dissipated.

Three heads peered up at it—

Inside the box, a ring lay quietly.

The ring has a very simple design; it's just a simple silver-white circle without any patterns or decorations.

But the information panel has a rather sophisticated color scheme—purple.

Congratulations on obtaining the item: Space Ring.

[Note: This product has a built-in independent storage space; it is not suitable for storing living creatures.]

[How to use: Mind control.]

[Note: The weight of stored items does not affect the wearer's sense of weight.]

"Wow! This is the legendary spatial ring?"

"Is this the legendary spatial ring?"

"As expected of the eldest brother!"

"As expected of the eldest brother!"

however.

Ou Yun remained silent, his gaze fixed intently on the ring—

"This kind of thing..."

He closed his eyes, his tone gradually becoming agitated.

"It should have been opened from the beginning!"
