Global Fog Survival

Red-name Colin: “How much are you planning to sell it for?”

Xu Xiangdong: “That name… Are you Mr. Colin?”

“Uh, I didn’t expect you to be the one selling water… I’m a bit moved, I’m your fan. How about this, one thorn for three liters of water? How does that sound?”

Colin was very interested in the thorns in his pocket, but he decisively refused.

“Not interested.”

The main reason was that the other party was too greedy. Whether he was really a fan was unknown, but wanting to trade one thorn for three liters of water was unreasonable, especially since Colin knew the value of thorns well.

After responding, Colin posted a trade on the market: 100 ml of water for one Thorn of Suffering.

Just as he thought, many people had these items. Thanks to Colin’s “secret reveal” the previous day, many survivors had them. Colin was reaping the benefits of saving people with his secrets.

At this moment, the person who had made the initial offer was getting anxious. He hadn’t had any water for a day, and after eating two pieces of bread, he was on the brink of severe dehydration. Seeing Colin’s auction for 100 ml per thorn and failing to secure any, he started to regret his high asking price.

“I should have asked for less…” His throat was parched, and while feeling regret, he also cursed Colin for ruining the market with such a low price.

He sent a request for 50 ml per thorn but received no response. Angry, he yelled, “What a lousy savior, just a garbage man!”

After a fit of helpless rage, he realized Colin no longer needed thorns.

“Do I have to trade this for some water…” He took out a blood-red gem from his inventory, his expression conflicted.

Meanwhile, Colin had gathered all the required materials, including the mist points. Following the instructions, he stored everything in his backpack, lit a lantern, and stepped out of the small wooden house.

[Do you want to upgrade to Level 2 Territory?]

Yes!

Without hesitation, Colin made his choice. Instantly, the materials in his inventory vanished rapidly. Then, the parchment in his hand unrolled itself, floating in midair, emitting a bright yet not blinding light. This light projected onto the wooden house. In the next moment, the house dissipated into the air like dandelions blown away by the wind.

The house was gone.

Colin was momentarily stunned. But soon, within the light from the parchment, a gray-white structure began to materialize from the ground up. It looked like 3D printing, gradually forming walls, doors, windows, roofs, and fences from nothing. A single-story building over a hundred square meters in area was being created before Colin’s eyes.

Colin was amazed. Such advanced creation techniques were astonishing. Even with hints, the response was “you cannot understand.” Whether it was the hint or Colin himself who didn’t understand was unclear.

The house’s glowing frame gradually emerged, followed by more detailed internal structures. Colin was left wondering about the level of the parchment’s creator. Creating a house with just some materials seemed as easy as drawing for an ordinary person, but unlike an ordinary person, this high-level civilization or being was “drawing” in reality.

About three minutes later, the single-story building was complete. The white light on it faded like molten steel exposed to air.

A “ding” sounded in Colin’s mind.

[Ding: Congratulations to survivor “Colin” for successfully upgrading to Level 2 Territory!]

[Notification: Congratulations to survivor “Colin” for becoming the first lord with a Level 2 Territory!]

[Notification: Rewards will be issued!]

[Notification: Rewards have been issued!]

A series of notifications sounded, not just for Colin but for the entire world channel.

“Holy crap! I heard the system say someone has a Level 2 Territory, did you guys hear it?”

“It’s a Global notification, everyone heard it. There’s a new powerhouse in the world!”

“Wait, did you notice? The notification said ‘Colin,’ the same ‘Colin’ who taught us about the lamps yesterday!”

“Colin is awesome! Breaks voice“

“No wonder someone was trading water for basic materials. I thought it was a dumb move. Turns out, the joke’s on me!”

“Brothers, did anyone remember the materials list?”

“I did! Colin traded 2000 stone, 26 thorns of suffering, 1000 wood, 500 clay, and 30 fog points. This should be the materials for upgrading to Level 2 Territory.”

“How do you remember so accurately?”

“Probably because he didn’t get any water from the first trade and had nothing better to do than memorize it.”

“Stop talking, my mouth is getting dry…”

“What’s the point of memorizing? Can you gather that many materials? Who knows if Colin has other key items. You should dig more instead of worrying about this. Many will trade water soon.”

“Sure enough, more people are trading water for basic materials!”

“Damn, 100 ml of water for 500 stone. Why doesn’t this idiot just die?”

“Wow, I saw one asking for 30 fog points for 100 ml. Is this person brain-dead?”

“Someone instantly bought 100 ml for 500 stones. Are they insane? Look, more people are trading water. This is aiding the enemy!”

“1 ml for 100 stones; I’ll beat you with my mom’s shoe if I find you!”

“I miss Colin. Two hundred ml for two hundred stones. So honest, he didn’t even raise the price!”

After Colin successfully upgraded to Level 2 Territory, many guessed the upgrade requirements. Those with surplus resources, especially water, immediately copied Colin’s method, of trading materials on the market. Many had prepared materials for water, leading to swift transactions. However, this also brought some unscrupulous individuals with outrageous prices, causing chaos in the rankings.

Colin didn’t expect that these people would make him look like a paragon of honesty compared to them. This amused him, though the rewards weren’t much: 99 hardened black bread, 1 compass, and 1 watch. These were of little use to him since he could get relevant information through hints.

With the surge of transactions, some players quickly progressed. Then, a new system notification appeared!

[Notification: Survivor progress detected… “Leaderboard” will be open soon!]
