Chapter 124 The Last Five Percent

Whether it was the free lollipops or the news that the small raft was about to leave the Beidi Plateau, it made the survivors in Zhangcheng look sideways.

During these three months, their attitude towards the raft went from suspicion and rejection to trust and then to treasure it. For a while, it was difficult for everyone to accept that the raft was leaving.

Nowadays, the Internet is also a resource. If you want to go online, you have to go to a fixed location and pay a fee to enter the network coverage area to go online. Therefore, people who know the news cannot tell the story online and spread the word as they did before.

But half an hour after Shu Fu posted the new advertisement, many people in Zhangcheng knew the news.

The news spread by word of mouth, and many people flocked to the shore even if they did not need to cross the waters to go to other places today. Some people crowded on the shore to read the words posted word by word, some looked at the raft with reluctance, and some came close to try to reason with the owner of the hut, such as why not stay on after three months? The survivors in the nearby waters, including Zhangcheng, really needed the raft!

Some people also carefully walked onto the raft and stepped onto the balcony, and took away a lollipop as a souvenir when they came down.

Those lollipops were not the starry sky lollipops that Shu Fu had given to Liu Shuang and Zheng Feifei before, but the lollipops in the big glass cabinet in the Suicheng building. These lollipops were cheap and good quality. Many shopping malls would buy lollipop coin machines and put them at the entrances and exits of the passages. There were several on each floor, filled with lollipops of various flavors. After inserting a coin, twisting it would randomly drop a lollipop.

Some supermarkets also sell whole jars of lollipops like this.

She has several glass cabinets filled with lollipops in her space, and even more unopened cans of lollipops that she has harvested from the water using her automatic water fishing rod. When she was cleaning up the space before, she had smashed several glass cabinets to gather all the lollipops inside together, as there were so many of them that they were perfect as free gifts.

So she just put a large cardboard box on the balcony.

This lollipop is definitely not as delicious as the other candies she specially stockpiled, but it tastes good too, especially in today's world, where non-essential items like snacks are basically eaten less and less, and people usually don't spend their supplies on such snacks.

For them, this gift is small but a good gift because the children will like it.

After the first person got a lollipop and walked off the raft, a second person followed. Soon, all the people who had come to watch the fun on the shore got on the raft one by one and received a lollipop.

Because there had been previous experiences, and after these three months, the meaning of this small raft had changed in everyone's mind, so no one took more than one. Basically everyone took one, said thank you, and quickly left, giving their seat to the next person.

After learning about this, some survivors even came as a family to get them, so that everyone could have one and they could all be saved for their children.

Shu Fu would not keep staring at the camera to check the balcony today. She was in the mood to give out gifts until they were all gone. If someone really took a few more, she didn't care.

But she really didn't expect that everyone would be so obedient to the rules. She always felt that after these three months, her small raft had a completely different meaning in the hearts of the survivors on the Northern Plateau.

She couldn't help but think again of the name the survivors here had given her raft when they posted it online: the Holy Mini Raft.

Well, it seems that the word "sacred" was used very sincerely...

Probably because today was a special day, many people boarded the raft to get lollipops, but no one took the raft to other places until noon, when the lollipops were almost gone, the captain of the Fire Dragon Team named Feng Lu came again.

The cumulative number of people rescued on the raft does not limit the same person to be carried twice, so in the beginning, her cumulative number of people was basically provided by the Fire Dragon Team.

During these three months, the raft had encountered the covetousness of strangers more than once when it docked at other abandoned cities. However, anyone from the Fire Dragon Team would stand in front of the raft and solve the problem for her before she could take action.

Perhaps they also knew that the raft did not need their assistance, but this assistance itself represents an attitude.

Therefore, Shu Fu's impression of the Fire Dragon Team had changed a long time ago. Feng Lu should also know that today is the last day of the raft here. He came alone. After getting on the raft, he reported the name of a county town that was not far away. After the raft slowly began to move, he went to the second-floor balcony.

During the short thirty minutes of drifting back and forth, Feng Lu sat there, quietly watching the camera in the corner of the balcony.

Shu Fu could roughly guess that the other party did not take the raft today because they needed it, but seemed to be saying goodbye to the raft in this way.

When the raft returned to the shore of Zhangcheng, Feng Lu, who had been sitting quietly on the balcony, suddenly smiled. It was a self-deprecating smile, and even he himself did not understand what he was expecting.

Would the owner of the raft come out to see him because of his impending departure and his arrival?

He had never seen the people in the raft cabin before, but they were a very special existence to him, as if they had become friends after these three months.

"Where are you going after that?" Feng Lu finally spoke, "Will we meet again in the mountains and rivers? Will we meet again? Will we really meet again?" He smiled. He asked so many questions, but he knew that he was destined to never get the answers.

Before leaving, Feng Lu bent down like everyone else and took a lollipop from the big cardboard box.

"Thank you for the gift, it was a pleasure to ride on your raft, bye."

When Feng Lu got off the raft, Shu Fu was leaning on the cushion next to the floor-to-ceiling window reading a book. He turned his head inadvertently and saw the other person's back as he left on the shore, and the white light strip flashing above his head in the rain.

The light bar had already gone two-thirds of the way, flashed twice, and then disappeared.

**

That afternoon, after the raft took another group of people to the nearby county town for docking, Shu Fu's bracelet suddenly began to vibrate.

It was a rapid and long vibration, as if several information prompts were coming at the same time.

She tried hard to control her inner joy and waited quietly for the last person on the raft to leave. She then turned on the raft's protective shield and autonomous drifting mode.

She sat down at the dining table next to the floor-to-ceiling window and pulled up the sleeves of her home dress, revealing the bracelet on her left wrist, on which several icons were flashing at the same time.

After unlocking the bracelet, she first clicked on the "Notebook" icon——

[The special task progress bar has reached the upper limit: 5%! Congratulations on winning the wheel lottery: 10 times. ]

[Raft Level 5 Current Progress: 100%]

[Congratulations! The raft has been upgraded to level 5! ]

[You can view the raft level 5 function in the "Unsinkable Drifting Island House". 】

finally!

Shu Fu looked at the congratulations and felt relieved. She found that she was not as excited as she thought. After all, she had seen the progress bar increase by 0.1% every time in the past few months.

This is not something that can be accomplished overnight like in the past, but it is more down-to-earth and requires a clear understanding of the completion of each step of the process.

The second thing she checked was the backpack icon, which was the space marker. Before today, she had never seen this icon flash. She clicked the icon, and the silver frosted glove quickly covered her left hand, and it was in the state of collecting items into the space, just like before, without any changes.

So why does this image flicker?

Shu Fu quickly realized something and immediately focused her attention on the space. In an instant, she was stunned.

Her backpack has more space!

The originally sensed space was about 150 cubic meters, but now, it has expanded six or seven times to about 1,000 cubic meters!

1000 cubic meters!

From now on, she no longer has to be stingy and calculate the size when receiving things! She can even directly stuff several cars and containers in!

Although she hadn't checked the new features of the Level 5 raft on the screen, the changes on the bracelet alone were enough to shock her. In addition to these two icons, the "turntable" and "map" icons on the bracelet were also flashing.

But Shu Fu could no longer sit still at this moment. She ran straight to the front door and checked the new functions directly on it.

[Raft Level: Level 5

Size of Drifting Island House: 60 square meters (two-story starting house; one-click dust removal)

Building mode: 1. One-click house change (3 blueprints unlocked); 2. Manual reconstruction.

2. Raft area firmness: advanced;

3. Drift bottle protective cover (automatic/manual): ① Daily usage time: unlimited; ③ Wristband remote control.

4. Master protection shield (automatic/manual): ① Daily usage time: 30 minutes; ② Stored time (0 o'clock automatically saves the remaining time of the day): (38:19:43)

2. Direction selection (automatically bypass obstacles): east, south, west, north;

3. Water area map.

Wastewater collection and filtration (0/10000L): 1. Automatic discharge when full; 2. Manual discharge.

Optional water sources: 1. Purified water (six hours a day, unlimited water volume during the usage period, the water tank automatically stores water during the usage period; the time can be adjusted, the initial time period defaults: 9:00-12:00, 18:00-21:00); 2. Water tank storage (3294/5000L).

[The maximum distance for placing the raft: within 200 meters (the bracelet will be automatically retracted if the maximum distance is exceeded)]

The functions of the Level 5 raft seemed ordinary, as if nothing had changed. Even the interior of the entire drifting island house had not changed much. But only she knew how significant those changes were to her!

There is no limit on the protective shield of the drift bottle, the stealth time, and most importantly, the time you can use the raft every day!

She never knew that the word "unlimited" could be so beautiful.

What does it mean that all these functions are “unlimited”! ?

This means that from now on her raft can always remain invisible on the water or underwater. She no longer has to calculate the time of the raft's protective shield. She can stay wherever she wants and for as long as she wants!

She was also delighted by other details, such as purified water, unlimited time and automatic water storage, which increased the daily limit from 100L to 5,000L. After all, a 5,000L water tank can be filled up in six hours! Even if she doesn't use water within the set time, the water tank can last for a long time.

Therefore, Shu Fu happily selected the water source option as "2" - water stored in the water tank.

Another example is the emergence of a network function. Although it seems that you still need to draw a card to use it, at least the raft is no longer an isolated island!

There is also a new function of the electricity card, which allows you to set the daily electricity usage period. This means that she no longer needs to install and remove the electricity card. She can adjust the time at will so that electricity will automatically appear when she needs it. The current initial time allocation is very reasonable, and she has not changed it.

In addition, the fourth raft function that she had been looking forward to for a long time appeared: towing!

She saw the line of words that had not been detected yet, and immediately took out a glass storage box from the space. The four most important cards, two gold and two blue, were all in it. She placed the two gold cards close to the function screen.

Suddenly, after two crisp "beep" sounds, a new details page appeared on the function screen.

Trailer:

Drag position 1: empty. [Starting sharing function: Select 1 (not yet selected); Select 2: (not yet selected); Select 3: (not yet selected)] [Special: None]

Drag position 2: empty. [Starting sharing function: Select 1 (not yet selected); Select 2: (not yet selected); Select 3: (not yet selected)] [Special: None]

Note: Once a sharing function is selected, it cannot be changed, so please choose carefully; one sharing function can be added for every 100 consecutive days of towing time. 】

When she clicks on [Trailer Position 1], the screen will show a plan view of the raft in the water. An area of ​​water located to the left rear of her raft's rear deck will appear in a different color, which should be the position of trailer 1.

At the same time, a list of options appeared on the screen.

[You can choose to tow a raft (Note: the bond value must be ≥80)

1. Chen Fa's raft (bond value: 100);

2. Zheng Feifei's raft (bond value: 96);

3. Lu Zheng's raft (bond value: 91);

4. Yao Ruoyun's raft (bond value: 90);

5. Hua Qiong's Raft (Bond Value: 85)

6. Fang Xiwen's Raft (Bond Value: 81)]

Looking at this list, Shu Fu's pupils dilated and he was extremely shocked!

She didn't expect that there were six names on the list!

what does that mean?

This means that Hua Qiong, Zheng Feifei, and even Fang Xiwen, who had not been in contact with her since Lou Yuncheng, have all awakened without her knowing!

She originally thought that there was only one trailer position missing at most, but now - there are too many people and too little space!

The content that appeared on the details page at this moment revealed a lot of information that she had not understood before, such as the meaning of the number following the white light bar.

It turns out that it’s not the trust value, but the bond value.

This is no wonder. When she guessed that this number represented the trust value, she actually didn't quite understand why there would be numbers behind the light bar for those people who had never even met her. Logically speaking, the other party didn't even know her, so where did the trust come from?

Compared to trust value, bond value has a much wider meaning. For example, even if the other party does not know her, if they are from the same world, or both have the raft, this can be considered a bond in a sense. Another example is that if they are in the same team and have experienced a disaster, even if they are not familiar with each other and have not spoken much, the bond will increase.

Also because this is a bond value rather than trust, Zheng Feifei, Hua Qiong and even Fang Xiwen do not need to be by her side and can awaken on their own, because they all already have an inseparable bond with her!

Or to put it the other way around, they and she had already completed the entire process of "bondage".

The condition for towing a raft can only be met if the bond value is greater than or equal to 80. This means that in addition to having the raft as a golden finger, only those who have had a strong bond with her and have been the object of her raft mission - or "travelers from another world" - can stand at the starting line of the towing raft position.

These two basic conditions are indispensable.

As for those psychics whose bond values ​​were in the single digits, and Wen Yi whose bond value was 29 after awakening, it might be that they lacked one of these two basic conditions, so she had no way to tow their rafts.

What is the use of trailer?

She clicked on the "Starting Shared Function" selection bar at the back and found that, as she had guessed, it contained some of the existing functions of her raft, including water purification, electric energy, garbage disposal, one-click dust removal, manual reconstruction, sewage treatment, network, water map, and protective cover.

In other words, any raft towed by her can share some of her raft's existing functions, turning it from a primitive raft with nothing to a modern one in one step!

Not only that, the shared function also includes a protective shield, which means that the towed raft can also be included in the protection of the Drifting Island House. From now on, no matter whether it is the deep sea with roaring waves or the dangerous underwater world, as long as her Drifting Island House can go, their raft can follow her and move forward!

At this moment, Shu Fu's thoughts were scattered, and he seemed to have foreseen the scene at some point in the future - it was a very exciting scene!

Although the towing position is still empty, the "sharing function" seems to be selectable directly. She did not choose it rashly. After all, she did not know which function the owners of the two towing positions would choose. She had to choose the raft she wanted to tow first.

Shu Fu looked at the six names in the list and tried to click on the first one, "Chen Fa's Raft".

As expected, the towing was unsuccessful, and a subtitle popped up on the screen: "Chen Fa's raft" is not within the towing range. Please confirm that "Chen Fa's raft" has been successfully placed.

Okay, I get it. She has to meet up with her friends first, and only after they meet can she start towing. That makes sense.

Shu Fu was in a good mood. She could already imagine how shocked Chen Fa and Lu Zheng would be when they heard the news.

Of course, it is also possible that after these days, Lu Zheng and his friends have adapted to life in the new city. In addition, since Xu Tingfeng and the other four as well as Yue Dong and Jiang Dai cannot live in the raft cabin, Lu Zheng may not choose to tow the trailer.

After all, once you choose to tow, it means leaving the land completely and making rafts and water your home from then on. This is not a simple and easy decision.

Fortunately, there are only two raft towing positions now. If Lu Zheng decides to stay on land, she can give this position to Yao Ruoyun or Zheng Feifei. It is very likely that they will choose to tow, because their raft cabin can fit a family of three, especially Yao Ruoyun, who probably can't wait any longer.

Therefore, the most important thing at the moment is that she has to increase the raft towing slots as soon as possible, and the only way to obtain raft towing slots is her luck in the lottery.

Shu Fu sighed, feeling that this method of obtaining it sounded unreliable.

She went into the bathroom to wash her hands, intending to smoke ten cigarettes in one go.

This time, at least one trailer position should be available after ten consecutive draws, right? But what happens after ten consecutive draws? Now that the raft has been upgraded to level 5, will there be another task to upgrade the raft to level 6?

If the task ends here, there will be no more lotteries in the future, right?

Shu Fu suddenly thought of the "lottery" icon that had flashed on the bracelet before. She realized something and paused while washing her hands. She quickly rinsed them and then reactivated the bracelet.

She summoned the turntable. On the small metal round display, there were no four-color grids or pointers. Instead, a line of small words was flashing on it, as if waiting for the owner's confirmation.

[It has been detected that the raft has been upgraded to level 5. The level 5 raft will receive an additional lottery draw every 72 hours, which will be refreshed at 0 o'clock. The lottery draws can be accumulated. ]

really!

72 hours is three days, which means that even if there are no more progress bar tasks in the future, she will still win a lottery every three days!

You can achieve a ten-draw achievement every month!

The level 5 raft is truly extraordinary. It took so long to complete the last 5% of the upgrade, and it was all worth it!

Shu Fu clicked on the line of words on the turntable to confirm the news. She put the turntable away and prepared to apply perfume on herself and complete the ritual.

However, after the turntable was retracted, she noticed that there was an icon on the bracelet that she hadn't looked at.

It is the icon of the map panel.

Normally, the water map would only change slightly after the next level of the raft progress bar task appeared. Shu Fu had always been within a limited barrier since the first level of the raft. In the past year and a half, she had long accepted the fact that she was not free.

Even when she had thought about looking for Chen Fa and Lu Zheng to tow the trailer, her first reaction was to drift to the waters closest to Cham County, and then wait for Chen Fa and the others to come by land and meet her.

Today’s new features for the level 5 raft have already given her too many surprises. Will there be other surprises?

She summoned the map panel, and like the turntable, there was a line of flashing text waiting for her confirmation.

When Shu Fu saw the line of words clearly, his pupils trembled again!

[Congratulations! The global water map has been opened, and the raft has unlocked the global free drifting mode. ]

(End of Volume 1)

The author has something to say:

Oh~ I had thought of this last sentence when Fufu first opened a map in Suicheng. It’s 500,000 words, and now I finally wrote it! It’s not easy~~

——Congratulations Fu Fu! From now on, all the waters on this planet belong to you~

Although it is divided into two volumes, the second volume is about infrastructure, so it will probably be very short~ It’s not far from the end of the main text hahahaha~
