That's amazing survival skills!

"It seems we still need a gas cylinder or something that provides a natural gas source." Lin Yuan placed the pot on the stove, and even from the distance of his hand holding the handle, he could feel the steam rising from inside the pot.

If this continues, the iron pot will inevitably burn through.

Ding dong.

Hearing the notification sound, Wang Xi, sitting at the front of the car, reached out somewhat speechlessly, opened the message, turned his head, and called out to Lin Yuan, "Lin Yuan, it's for you."

Who is it?

"Li Wen!"

"oh."

When Lin Yuan stepped forward, she found that the video call had already been answered, and Li Wen and Lin Yan were sitting in front of the video.

"What's wrong?" Lin Yuan asked Li Wen.

After hesitating for a moment, Li Wen said thoughtfully, "Thank you so much for helping Lin Yan in the Ten Miles of Red Makeup instance. I am truly grateful."

Lin Yuan turned his gaze to Lin Yan behind him, believing that the other party should still have the memories of the dungeon in the Ten Miles of Red Makeup Pavilion, but he was a little embarrassed.

A few days ago, the other party served tea and water, behaving quite like a newlywed bride.

Although it was influenced by the lingering will of the female corpse in the attic, the events were still real.

"You didn't come here specifically to talk about this, did you?" Lin Yuan smiled and nodded at Lin Yan. "After all, when I first went in, I promised you that I would help her."

"Thank you is only one aspect..." Li Wen looked at Lin Yuan seriously and continued, "I also want to make a deal with you. Our next dungeon is the Spider Cave, and I want to trade some skills with you."

"Hmm?" Lin Yuan was a little puzzled, then spread his hands to show his helplessness, "I believe you all saw what happened in the trading channel before. I only have those regular skills, nothing else."

Upon hearing this, a look of disappointment appeared on Li Wen's face.

Although they had some skill stones from dungeon rewards, the skills they obtained weren't very good and didn't significantly enhance their strength, which is why they wanted to trade with Lin Yuan.

"Of course, if you clear the Spider Cave and have spider glue, I'd be happy to trade with you." Lin Yuan smiled and made his request. "As an advance payment, I believe the others should have quite a few skill stones, which I think will be helpful to you, provided you discuss it with them yourselves."

"The only thing I can do is to act as a matchmaker for you."

"Thank you." Li Wen clasped his hands in thanks. "If we have spider glue, we will definitely give you priority in our trade."

"Okay, that's settled then. I'll recommend their accounts to you."

As Lin Yuan spoke, he directly opened his panel, found the three accounts, quickly edited the message, and clicked send.

[Xiong Tianming: Someone wants to make a deal with you. You'll recognize the name; he's a teammate of Lin Yan's.]

[Six Realms Monk: Someone wants to make a deal with you. You'll recognize the name; he's a teammate of Lin Yan's.]

[Lavie: Someone wants to make a deal with you. You'll recognize the name; he's a teammate of Lin Yan's.]

After everything was over last night, Lin Yuan closed the panel and was just about to check his equipment when the notification sound rang again.

[Lavie: You'd be that kind?]

"I'm just playing matchmaker; whether it works out or not is up to you to discuss."

"However, I believe there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future, and you should have your own considerations."

[Lavie: Okay, I'll consider it for your sake.]

"Thank you very much then." Lin Yuan smiled as she edited the message and then clicked send.

All three women noticed the barely suppressed smile on Lin Yuan's lips. As women, their sixth sense was still quite sharp, and for some reason, they felt a faint sense of crisis.

[Lavie: I don't need verbal thanks. If you'd like, you can tell me the information the woman in red gave you.]

Lin Yuan clicked his tongue, looked at La Wei's huge appetite, and tapped his fingers lightly on the table, making a sound.

"Of course, if you can offer Roman grass or twisted clover in exchange, I'd consider it." Lin Yuan thought for a moment and added, "If you don't have those two, their seeds will also work."

[Lavie: What do you need these two things for?]

Shifting perspective, Lin Yuan took photos of the three soil samples and sent them over.

"I feel that just growing some grains in my carriage is a bit too monotonous. I want to grow some flowers and plants." Lin Yuan lit a cigarette and then edited, "You know, we Chinese don't usually have much ambition. We just like to grow some land."

[Lavie: You think I'd believe your nonsense? You cunning man!]

"I'm telling the truth. If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do."

[Lavie: I'll keep an eye out for these two things for you.]

Thank you.

"You scoundrel, who are you chatting so happily with?" Han Miao stepped forward. "Are you having an affair?"

"Um."

That "hmm" was like a bomb; Han Miao immediately bristled and grabbed Lin Yuan's arm.

"You scoundrel! You really are seeing someone else!"

"Otherwise what?" Lin Yuan patted her butt and stared at her teasingly. "The three of you won't let me touch you. I'll feel uncomfortable if I don't find someone outside."

"You...you...you...you..."

"He was just teasing you." Wang Xi walked over and sat down next to Lin Yuan, asking, "Were you recommending temporary teammates from the dungeon to Li Wen just now?"

"Um."

"Can we make a deal with them?" Wang Xi blinked.

Since they can enter the "Ten Miles of Red Makeup" instance, it means that the resources they possess are far beyond what other survivors can match. Exchanging benefits is the wisest choice.

"I don't recommend doing that."

"Why?" Gu Siyu didn't quite understand.

Since learning the skill of fire control, she can clearly feel a significant improvement in her control over fire, not to mention the amplification of fire by the skill.

Why is Lin Yuan unwilling to trade with them when it's clearly a mutually beneficial situation?

"Because I offended them inside the instance," Lin Yuan said, rubbing his nose. "If we make a deal, they'll definitely ask for an exorbitant price. At that point, whether or not you make the deal is up to you."

"You..."

Gu Siyu was also speechless.

Since Lin Yuan said he had offended them, it must not be as simple as just extortion.

This man is definitely not one to stay put!

[Five minutes remaining until we reach the Steel City. Survivors, please prepare to disembark!]

"Alright, everyone pack your things and get ready to get off the bus."

.......

The subway train stopped, and the doors opened to both sides.

The four of them stood at the entrance, originally expecting it to be an old building or even a dilapidated factory, but they never expected it to be such a high-tech and modern city!

In the far distance, there is a tall, arc-shaped building with a dome-shaped structure at the top that receives the blazing sun overhead, making it look like a mushroom.

The streets were paved with an unknown alloy, and there were no traces of welding at all.

The houses on both sides are somewhat old and were built according to the direction of the mountain, with a complex and layered structure.

As pedestrians walk along the road, the most common sight is people who have undergone prosthetic leg modifications, their unique metallic appearance and the luster of their core-like gemstones.

There are also police officers who aren't robotic, but rather patrol with high-frequency pulse guns.

"So cyberpunk?" Lin Yuan looked at the scene before her and curled her lip.

I just stepped onto the ground.

Steel City (Projection, Incomplete Version)

[Duration of stay: 144 hours]

All four of them saw the message on the panel.

"Wow, this is the first time I've stayed this long. Is this dungeon really that difficult?" Han Miao said, pointing to the message on the panel.

"This instance shouldn't be too difficult." Gu Siyu pointed to the items on the panel. "After all, this is just a projection, an incomplete version. I just don't know what the real Steel City is like."

"Something's here. Prepare to engage." Lin Yuan frowned, an elite spear appearing in his palm as he stared ahead.

The three women looked ahead and saw only the modified prosthetics on the road; there was nothing else there.

"You're lying to us again, there's no such thing..."

Before Han Miao could finish speaking, they saw a group of steel police officers approaching them from the end of the street. They were moving quickly and carrying high-tech firearms.
