When Gu Xi woke up, she checked the time and it was exactly 2 p.m. Although it was just past noon, the light outside wasn't very good.

She remembered that when she went to sleep, it was a clear, sunny day. How could the sky have changed so drastically in just one afternoon nap?

Gu Xi exhaled a breath of stale air, thinking to himself that this was indeed the sea, where the weather changed faster than a person's face.

Stepping outside, she saw that the clouds in the sky were much thicker, and there were faint signs of rain. She was now very glad that she had finished building the house first, so even if it rained, it wouldn't be a big problem.

If there was anything she was worried about, it was only one thing: she feared strong winds and waves at sea. Modern rafts couldn't withstand strong winds and rain.

To prevent this from happening, all she could do was continuously expand the raft and improve its ability to withstand wind and waves.

[Ding-dong]

The notification sound of a friend's message interrupted Gu Xi's thoughts.

Xu Lulu: Sister Xi, could you postpone your timber installment payment? It's starting to rain here, and I want to start building the house first.

It seems Xu Lulu's raft has been expanded to 30 square meters, and it's even started raining where she is! So she needs to make some preparations.

Before she could reply, Xu Lulu sent her a raincoat.

Xu Lulu: Sister Xi, this is the overdue interest. You can use it if it rains.

Xu Lulu has gone to such lengths, and now that her house is built, she doesn't need her little bit of wood for the time being. Besides, raincoats are really practical and useful things, so she's quite thoughtful.

Gu Xi accepted the gift and began to reply.

Gu Xi: I've accepted the items. As for the timber, you can give it to me in a few days.

Xu Lulu breathed a sigh of relief upon receiving Gu Xi's reply. Sensing something was amiss, she had quickly exchanged her extra resources for planks, expanding the raft to 30 square meters. Immediately afterward, the game unlocked new building content.

After learning about the new building materials, she was shocked to realize that Gu Xi needed so much timber to build a house. Time was too tight, and the rain started to fall again. Even with her good fortune, she could only do her best to build a small, dilapidated 2x2 meter house.

Xu Lulu held up an umbrella, and the rain poured down from the edge of the umbrella. Although the umbrella was still holding up for now, it would soon stop working at this rate.

After receiving Gu Xi's reply, Xu Lulu immediately started construction and began building the house.

Gu Xi opened the chat channel again and found that the content had changed to topics like "It's starting to rain again" and "Hurry up and collect the timber." Looking up at the increasingly oppressive clouds, she thought that the sea area where she was located was probably not far from raining.

Rain isn't all bad; it's also a good time to store water. Knowing this, she made two 100L plastic tanks and three 500L plastic tanks.

Gu Xi placed the plastic tanks outdoors. The group of plastic tanks huddled together made the raft even smaller.

Seeing this scene, she was originally very satisfied with the productivity of the three fish-powered machines, but she realized that she didn't have enough materials when she needed them. Now she wished she had ten fish-powered machines to work for her.

"It's going to rain, the fish are going home, my fish power, why aren't you coming back yet?!"

Gu Xi sang some nonsensical tunes out of boredom, summoning sharks number 4 and 5 that were swimming outside. Whether or not the fish-raising system actually heard her lyrics, the notification from the fish-raising system came very promptly.

After a long journey, Shark 4 and Shark 5 have finally returned to your embrace. Come and see!

Gu Xi paused in her melody and quickly opened the fish-keeping system. She found that the countdown for Shark No. 4 and No. 5 had indeed reached zero.

Click on Shark 4. A bright white arrow immediately appeared on the sea surface, flashing up and down. Gu Xi knew that the arrow pointed to the location of Shark 4. Then Gu Xi clicked on Shark 5 and found its location.
