[Name: Shelter Light Barrier (Excellent)]

Effect: Forms a light barrier with a 10-meter radius centered on the shelter.

The area within the barrier is considered part of the shelter's territory!Full novel: Shelter 100x: Surviving the Mist Apocalypse — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠

Within the barrier: Slightly reduces the impact of climate, temperature, wind, rain, snow, dust, and other natural environmental effects.

Significantly resists external attacks.

Description: The best choice for protecting your home!

A message followed closely behind.

Yang Zhenghe: "This is an item from a Bronze Resource Chest. With it, the survival rate in the early stages will greatly increase.

I plan to establish a Mutual Aid Alliance, where members can exchange resources freely.

Currently, I'm only recruiting allies with special resources, such as large amounts of water, stone, or scroll products.

Those who have obtained scrolls should understand that gathering crafting materials isn't easy.

Within the alliance, we can provide for each other and offer returns at prices lower than the market.

If interested, feel free to message me!

Let's hope everyone survives better!"

Is this the beginning of forming factions spontaneously?

Taking advantage of everyone's shock over the "Shelter Light Barrier," Yang Zhenghe began recruiting globally.

(People from different countries are all in the World Chat Channel, but the language will convert to their native language. Personal information displays name, nationality, gender, etc.)

Qi Yuan was also somewhat tempted.

Everyone is scattered across the Mist World, and the resources around them vary greatly.

Exchanging resources can significantly improve survival capabilities.

Moreover, with the "Healing Potion Scroll," Qi Yuan is almost guaranteed to become one of the important allies.

Although the "Healing Potion Scroll" is only a Fine-grade item, the importance of medicine is self-evident.

And the rarity of items appearing in the Bronze Resource Chest on the first day is also assured.

However, Qi Yuan wasn't in a hurry to join, planning to observe further.

Before everyone could react, more rare item information was released.

[Name: Dimensional Backpack (Fine)]

Effect: Contains a 5 cubic meter dimensional space inside.

Description: Strap on my beloved little backpack... the ultimate tool for collecting resources on the go!

Although this is only a Fine-grade item, its practical functionality is undeniable.

[Name: Mist-Dispelling Lamp (Excellent)]

Effect: In a Light Mist Zone, forms a 5-meter radius Clear Zone.

In a Dense Mist Zone, forms a 5-meter radius Light Mist Zone.

Also reduces the likelihood of being discovered by other creatures to some extent!

Description: The dense mist can't stop my progress!

"Damn, damn, damn!"

"Awesome!"

"Awesome!"

"Bow down!"

"Boss, let me lick it for some luck!"

"I want a lick too!"

"I want a lick too!"

"+1"

"+1"

"..."

Qi Yuan felt a twinge in his teeth as he watched.

It seems there are quite a few people who got good stuff.

Although the probability of a Bronze Resource Chest appearing is very low, with a population base of 7 billion, nearly 100,000 people still obtained it.

That means 100,000 people acquired multiple Fine-grade items.

Even if the probability of Excellent-grade items appearing in a Bronze Resource Chest is 0.1%, nearly 100 people obtained Excellent-grade items.

On the first day, only Wooden Resource Chests and Bronze Resource Chests would appear.

With the rarity of Bronze Resource Chests, the quality of the items inside is definitely not low.

Qi Yuan couldn't help but marvel at how many lucky people there are!

But fortunately, his "Healing Potion Scroll" isn't bad either.

More rare items appeared one after another.

[Name: World Horn (Special)]

Effect: Allows you to speak in the World Channel, with golden text pinned for a day.

Description: Ensures everyone sees your message!

[Name: Life Night Pearl (Excellent)]

Effect: Increases plant growth rate within the illumination of the Night Pearl. (Within a 5-meter radius)

Common-grade seeds: Increase by 30%

Fine-grade seeds: Increase by 20%

Excellent-grade seeds: Increase by 10%

Rare-grade seeds: Increase by 5%...

The higher the grade, the smaller the increase.

Description: Let's farm together!

[Name: Mist Torch Crafting Scroll (Fine)]

Materials: (Hidden)

Effect: Crafts a Mist Torch, dispersing mist in a small area.

Description: There should be light even in the mist!

...

Several good items appeared in the Chat Channel.

Qi Yuan alone saw 16-17 types.

Each one is an absolute gem, making everyone itch with desire.

If it weren't for the Mist Survival Manual, people would have already tried to grab them.

Among these people, some are simply showing off.

But more have their own agendas.

Like Yang Zhenghe, they seek allies or aim to form small groups.

And the effect is surprisingly good.

Even officials are secretly stabilizing the situation.

But this is the Mist World, and things must be done according to its rules.

After tonight, many global loose organizations will surely form.

Many regional small organizations will also emerge.

Whether they are fleeting or long-lasting... is unknown.

Qi Yuan pondered for a long time, considering whether to join some organizations.

But in the end, he didn't make a decision.

Qi Yuan wasn't optimistic!

A mutual aid alliance for trading rare resources is reasonable.

But other forces, without constraints, can't be effectively managed.

What if people don't listen? Are you going to beat them up?

In the Mist World, everyone is an independent entity.

You can't control others' lives, and you can't even control your own.

Many people have obtained miraculous items beyond imagination, thinking they are the elite of humanity, dismissing the dangers of the Mist World.

But Qi Yuan has a premonition that the greatest threat in the Mist World isn't other humans!

It's the vast, dangerous, and mysterious Mist World itself!

Maybe just staying alive is already very difficult!

As Qi Yuan contemplated future plans, he clicked on an item information.

Guardian Thorn!

Qi Yuan was very interested in this special plant.

[Name: Guardian Thorn (Wood Attribute) (Fine)]

Effect: Plant outside the shelter to effectively prevent enemy invasions.

Grows and reproduces by absorbing plant attributes.

Different attributes have different functional characteristics.

Description: The guardian of the home, but be sure to feed it well! It has a big appetite!

This is a type of plant for shelter defense.

It was being sold by a woman named Qin Shuyu.

Qi Yuan had already chatted with her a bit.

There were two of these plants, besides the "Wood-Attribute Thorn," there was also a "Flesh-Attribute Thorn."

These two thorn plants weren't found in a Resource Chest.

Qin Shuyu discovered them near her Wooden Cabin.

According to Qin Shuyu, these thorns grew on rocks and couldn't absorb nutrients.

When found, they were extremely weak, and Qin Shuyu thought they were peculiar, so she dug them up.

Unexpectedly, the system displayed their attributes, and they could be sold in the Trading Market.

Qin Shuyu planned to exchange one of them for 50 units of stone and 30 units of wood.

For upgrading her shelter.

After all, the Mist Announcement had just released a Temporary Mission.

Upgrade the shelter to level two on the first day!

The reward is a Novice Survival Pack!

So the entire Trading Market and Chat Channel were buzzing.

The value of stone increased again.

Even the value of wood rose.

Because many people, knowing they had no hope of receiving the reward, sold their wood at high prices for food and water.

Those hoping to upgrade their shelters frantically bought wood and stone.

Especially stone, due to the lack of tools, the market circulation was very low.

This gave Qi Yuan a strong sense of business opportunity.

Qi Yuan: "How much for this Guardian Thorn?"

Qin Shuyu: "50 stones, 30 wood."

Qi Yuan: "That's too expensive, you know the current prices of stone and wood."

Qi Yuan knew Qin Shuyu aimed to upgrade her shelter.

But her asking price was too high.

Qin Shuyu: "Someone in the Chat Channel already mentioned that there might be creature attacks on shelters at night. With this Guardian Thorn, it would be much safer!"

Qi Yuan: "You also said this thorn is very weak and needs time to grow and reproduce!"

Qin Shuyu: "Do you have enough stones?"

Qi Yuan: "Yes!"

Qin Shuyu: "I need 43 stones, the rest is negotiable."

Qi Yuan frowned, still feeling it wasn't worth it.

At any other time, this price would be an absolute bargain.

But right now, the price was too high!

In the current market, the demand for stones is enormous!

50 stones could exchange for almost anything.

Of course, excluding items like "Shelter Light Barrier" and "Dimensional Backpack."

Just as Qi Yuan hesitated, Qin Shuyu sent another message.

Qin Shuyu: "I can exchange it for some information!"

Qi Yuan was puzzled but remained firm.

"What information? You know, it's hard to trust such words, especially since there's no law here!"

Qin Shuyu: "I can share the information first, and if you find it valuable, we can trade!"

Seemingly worried Qi Yuan wouldn't agree, Qin Shuyu continued.

Qin Shuyu: "I have freshwater nearby; I can provide you with freshwater resources for free if you trust me!"

As she spoke, a prompt appeared on Qi Yuan's side.

[Trade Information: Qin Shuyu offers 561 ml of river water in exchange for a weed. Click agree to confirm the trade!]

Qi Yuan pulled a weed from the door and clicked confirm.

Soon, a wooden container with a dug-out pit filled with water was transported over.

Qi Yuan: "Tell me your information. If it's valuable, I can trade with you!"

Qi Yuan wasn't swayed by Qin Shuyu's sincerity.

500 ml of river water, plus an uncertain piece of information that could be shared with anyone, was too cheap!

Qin Shuyu quickly sent a message.

Qin Shuyu: "I actually found three Guardian Thorns. I exchanged one Earth-Attribute Guardian Thorn with Yang Zhenghe. I got this information from Yang Zhenghe!"

Qi Yuan was instantly intrigued by this statement.

He could understand why the Earth Attribute was chosen first.

Whether it eats dirt, meat, or grass!

A simple comparison makes the choice clear!

And just by imagining, the Earth Attribute's defensive capabilities must be better!

Qin Shuyu: "Yang Zhenghe's Shelter Light Barrier wasn't actually obtained from a Resource Chest! He entered a Mystic Realm!"

"Mystic Realm?"

The term felt fantastical to Qi Yuan.

Is this really a game world?

There's even a Mystic Realm?

Qin Shuyu continued: "Yes! Yang Zhenghe didn't sleep last night and went out the moment it was daylight."

"Then he found a stone pillar not far from his shelter, which displayed Mystic Realm information when approached!"

"The Mystic Realm only appears in the first 3 minutes of daylight, and each person can only enter once!"

"According to Yang Zhenghe, once inside, the Mystic Realm evaluates his Wooden Cabin's ranking among all humanity and then gives a reward!"
