It was getting late, and all she could do now was to get away from the island and explore it again tomorrow.

Gu Xi immediately ordered the sharks to pull the raft backward.

Why the island rises and falls is a mystery, and she'd better not interfere until she gets any useful information.

The sharks hadn't gone far when the island began to sink. Because they were quite close, Gu Xi could hear the rushing sound of the water as the island sank.

Before long, the sound of water completely disappeared, and the islands sank into the sea.

She withdrew her gaze, which had been fixed on nothing, and returned indoors.

Once inside, the view opens up, and what was previously only about a meter wide is now completely open.

Reflecting on everything that had happened that day, she realized that she couldn't just go to the island.

With the current density of the fog, she wouldn't be able to tell which way to go at all.

Once you get lost, it's almost impossible to find your boat again.

If she hasn't found a boat by the time the island sinks, she will only face the fate of sinking into the sea with the island.

It now seems that the only way she could avoid getting lost was to tie one end of a rope to herself and the other end to the boat.

Having devised a plan, she began to implement it.

Making a rope requires fibers, and luckily she has plenty. By making these fibers into a rope and then manually connecting them together, she can create a very long rope.

Without further ado, Gu Xi counted his fibers.

Currently, it still has 800 fibers, enough to make 400 ropes. But she doesn't know how long a rope will be yet, so she'll make one first to see.

[Consume 2 fibers to make 1 rope?]

"yes!"

After she finished making the rope, she picked it up and examined it carefully.

Previously, ropes were used as building materials, so she didn't pay much attention to how long they actually were.

Upon closer inspection, she realized that each rope was approximately three meters long.

If you were to join all 400 ropes together, the total length would only be 1200 meters. This doesn't even include the rope joints; if you include the joints, the length would be even shorter.

Exploring an island with a 1200-meter rope is simply wishful thinking; it's impossible.

After a quick calculation, she abandoned her plan to connect the short rope into a long rope.

At times like these, she should harness the power of the people to find items that truly suit her.

Gu Xi opened the chat channel, intending to post the acquisition information directly.

Long ropes like these aren't rare, but they are. They're not very valuable or practical because most people wouldn't even notice them.

District 2333, Regional Chat Group (97076/100000):

Gu Xi: "Buy long ropes, the longer the better."

"Why does Sister Xi need a long rope? Is she here to fish for sharks?"

"A long rope? I know what a rope is, but how many meters is considered long?"

"Sister Xi's request is so simple, everyone come out and see!"

The lecturing guy asked, "Is a 100-meter rope enough?"

Gu Xi: "Not enough, have more."

"What rope? 100 meters isn't long enough!"

"Do I doubt that such a thing exists in our area?"

"I just want to say that even if some people do have it, they probably have forgotten about it. After all, who would actually use such a long rope?"

...

People were replying sporadically in the chat group, but no sellers of extra-long ropes appeared.

Gu Xi was somewhat disappointed, but she had to prepare the rope before she could go to the island.
