Surviving Underground: Super Prompting System - Chapter 23

“I’m so sleepy!”

Joseph skillfully pushed away Pistachio, who was sleeping soundly on his chest. He yawned and climbed out of bed.

Sitting in front of the fireplace comfortably, Joseph opened the chat room interface.

There were billions of people in the world who had transmigrated here together, so the number of people in the chat room was definitely abnormal.

Unless, like in the game, all the survivors were assigned to different chat channels, or they were not in the same area at all.

However, Joseph believed that no matter which area they were in, the problems they faced were the same. If they wanted to survive, they could only follow the basic rules of the game of digging out treasure chests.

Through his understanding of the chat room during this period of time, the number of people in a chat room was at most a few hundred. It might be even fewer people than he had imagined.

[Chat room]

“Haha, your Great King Of Luck has been born. Can you believe it? I actually dug into an E-Grade Treasure Chest. There was a sharp spear inside!”

“Tsk, so what if there is a weapon? Do you have the guts to fight the Magical Beasts?”

“Big Brother, how about I trade you ten pieces of Rye Bread? I have long disliked those damn Magical Beasts!”

“That’s it? I guess Big Brother Joseph should be fully equipped with god-tier equipment by now. Otherwise, where would he get so many resources and even Demon Pig Meat?!”

…

Expectedly, even though he had the help of the system, the others were gradually catching up to him. A Sharp Spear huh?

Maybe they were a little more outstanding than sharp, short swords, but compared to the Cursed Dagger now, they were still far from enough.

When Joseph saw the last message, he immediately chuckled.

“I didn’t expect that there would be someone who worships me so much. Although my equipment is not bad, compared to god-tier equipment, there is still a big gap!”

Regarding the so-called god-tier equipment, the current Joseph did not dare to hope at all. The strength of the Cursed Dagger had already shocked him for a long time.

Moreover, the Curse Dagger was only a piece of D-Grade Equipment.

However, even if it was a piece of D-Grade Equipment. Other than Joseph, there should not be anyone else who would have it now.

Cough, cough! There was no need to show off his wealth anymore.

Joseph closed the chat room and opened the trading platform once again.

In fact, there were very few items on the trading platform that could move Joseph’s heart. However, if he really missed out on something good, he would regret it.

Joseph understood that in the early stages of the game, only people would hang good items on the trading platform. At this time, survival was the most important thing, and everything else was not a necessity.

However, as long as they survived the early stages, it would not be easy to exchange food and fresh water after the survivors had accumulated a certain amount of resources.

[Trading platform]

[Trade Item: clean water x 500ML]

[Successful Trade: wood x 30]

[Trade Comment: Big Brother Joseph, where did you get so much clean water? Is there a river in the underground world? ]

[Trading Item: clean water x 500 ml]

[Successful Trade: cement x 30]

[Trade Comment: Big Brother Joseph…]

…

One by one, records of successful trades flashed across the trading platform, and Joseph set his sights on the items he needed.

[Equipment Blueprint: Luxurious Evening Gown ]

[Skill Book: Walking Upside Down ]

[Gourmet Recipe: Demon Rat Burger]

…

These series of items that opened Joseph’s eyes were of no use to Joseph at all.

Joseph even saw a series of even more magical items on the trading platform, [IV Imitation Wallet] and [Little Sweetie’s Autographed Photo].

They were all impractical things that were useless for survival.

Since they were useless, he could just pretend that he did not see them. After all, he did not lack such blueprints and items.

Shaking his head, Joseph just exchanged some basic resources with clean water and Demon Pig Meat.

[Trading wood x 300] [Owned: 600]

[Trading cement x 100] [Owned: 120]

…

After arranging these materials, Joseph’s cabin had become a small warehouse.

Of course, these materials were not enough.

If he wanted to upgrade his wooden house again, Joseph estimated that he would need at least a thousand basic materials.

Moreover, he lacked an upgrade blueprint.

This also did not include the necessary facilities and equipment that he needed to upgrade.

If he included everything..

Joseph suddenly felt a headache.

This was simply not giving him any time to rest.

If it were anyone else, they would probably even have the thought of going crazy.

The chat room was still as lively as before.

“Oh my God, have you all gone crazy? Clean water and Demon Pig Meat were all snatched up in an instant!”

“You guys are simply a bunch of devils. You usually cry about being poor in the chat room, but how did you all become hidden tycoons when it comes to trading!”

“What are you paying attention to? Aren’t you curious about how Big Brother Joseph got so many supplies?”

“Brother upstairs, I’ll give you a thumbs up. Actually, I’ve been curious about this for a long time. According to Big Brother Joseph’s terrifying trading volume, I’m afraid that he has already abandoned us and successfully entered the stage where he doesn’t have to worry about food and water.”

…

Just as they were discussing and guessing, a caption suddenly appeared on the screen of the chat room.

It immediately attracted everyone’s attention.

“Haha, what Joseph, What Big Brother, do you know what I saw? I actually saw a karst cave and even a flowing river!”

“Are you crazy?”

“How much fake wine did you drink? You wouldn’t drink so much even if you’re a little insane!”

“You bunch of idiots. Wait until I swim across the river and live a good life, then I’ll mock you brainless guys!”

Joseph, who was about to close the chat room, suddenly saw this caption and immediately stood up.

“Karst Cave? River? Did someone else discover this place so quickly?”

Without saying anything, Joseph put on his plate armor, picked up his crossbow, and walked out of the wooden house.

Although he had not thought about how to face this guy who might appear, the breeding farm and Fluorescent Tangerine trees in the karst cave were absolutely not allowed to be touched by others.

This was his bottom line.

“Step, step!”

His heavy footsteps landed on the ground, causing a splash of sand.

When he reached a place not far from the river, he clearly saw a burly figure holding a shovel across from him, continuously testing the depth of the river.

“I hope you have some self-awareness, or else don’t you blame me…”
