After calming herself down, Jiang An resumed spying on the screen.

Looking for useful information.

"What kind of game is this? I looted two batches of supplies, 10 crates, but I didn't even see a trace of food. I ate the two loaves of bread that were given away a long time ago, and I'm still starving. I'll trade wooden blocks and plastic ropes for food at a high price. DM me."

Upon seeing the message, Jiang An quickly clicked on it.

It was a man named Luo Hao. Jiang An continued clicking, only to find that his personal information had been hidden.

"A 200-gram white flour bun in exchange for 20 grams of plastic?"

Luo Hao replied instantly, "I have 30, how about I exchange them for 3? Plastic is also a scarce resource now."

Upon seeing the message, Jiang An hesitated for a moment before replying affirmatively, "Add another 20 iron nails."

She knew that plastic was a scarce resource, but food was even scarcer.

After some haggling, the two finally agreed on a price of {30 plastic, 15 iron nails}.

After the transaction was completed, Jiang An's backpack instantly lost 3 steamed buns.

"Build a crafting station!" Jiang An silently recited in his mind.

After about ten seconds.

[Ding! Construction complete. Materials required: 20 wood blocks, 10 iron nails, 10 plastic!]

Please select a placement location!

Jiang An wasn't sure how much space the workbench would take up, so she chose a spot on the right, near the middle.

Just as she selected a spot, a desk-like crafting table quietly appeared to her right front.

On the left is a screen displaying the blueprints that Jiang An has already studied, and on the right is a place to put the materials.

It occupied two whole rafts.

"No wonder we need to upgrade the raft before we can upgrade the crafting station; otherwise, there's nowhere to put it," Jiang An said knowingly.

The current crafting table is level one. Materials required for a level two crafting table: 50 wood blocks, 30 plastic, and 20 iron.

Jiang An looked at the workbench in front of him and studied its functions.

It took me a while to realize that the crafting table I built could only produce basic items, such as two iron nails to make one iron block, and one wood block to make one charcoal, etc.

To obtain other items, she would need blueprints. She currently has two blueprints, but only the blueprint for the water purifier is lit up. The remaining blueprint for the garbage decomposer requires upgrading the crafting station before it can be made.

Jiang An looked into the backpack and found that there were only two ropes left to make the water purifier.

Open the trading channel and start searching for the rope.

After some bargaining, Jiang An traded 100 milliliters of water for two ropes.

Having the ability to make water purifiers, she began to intentionally or unintentionally exchange the currently expensive water resources for materials.

I opened the crafting table and used 5 wood blocks to craft 5 portions of charcoal.

[Ding! Do you wish to craft a water purifier using 5 iron nails, 5 charcoal, 3 plastic, and 2 ropes?]

"yes."

Ten minutes later, a simple water purifier appeared in front of Jiang An.

[Standard water purifier, capable of purifying 200 ml of seawater per hour]

The charcoal filter cartridge needs to be replaced on time, every 48 hours of use.

Jiang An looked at the water purifier in front of him and found that its structure was very simple, consisting of two layers.

The top layer was a large plastic cup, held in place; she guessed it was the water inlet.

The bottom layer is a smaller plastic cup, and above the plastic cup is an iron pipe for dispensing water.

She tried it and found that the plastic cup at the bottom could be removed.

Jiang An only studied it briefly and didn't waste too much time before getting up and going to the raft to fill an empty plastic bottle with seawater.

Pour in a 500ml bottle of seawater, and the water purifier will start working.

It took 2000 ml of seawater to fill the plastic cup at the water inlet.

Having dealt with these matters, Jiang An stopped paying attention to the regional channels that were flooding the screen and instead turned his attention to the trading channel.
