Chapter 2 The Temptation of the Wooden Box

She had already slept at home in the evening and was feeling alright, not too sleepy.

Let's think about what to do next.

Based on her years of gaming experience, she could make good use of the three-day newbie protection period.

Once the beginner protection period is over, hunger, cold, and sharks will come knocking.

It's summer, and she came over wearing a short silk nightgown. Shorts and a short-sleeved shirt, no safety features, not even shoes.

Sitting on the empty raft felt uncomfortable. As the sun set, the last ray of light on the sea disappeared, and the moon slowly rose to take its place.

It is now 8:10 pm. After two hours of deep thought, Shen Jue has made the following plan.

First and foremost, food is essential, and water is also crucial. Without food and water, it's impossible to survive in the ocean. If you see a wooden crate, no matter what's inside, you must retrieve it.

It would be best to collect as much wood as possible to expand the raft.

If possible, it's best to make a simple weapon.

She looked through the game system and found that many things were grayed out, including the equipment section.

Shen Jue guessed that the unlock condition might be related to the raft's area. Once the relevant area of ​​the raft was unlocked, perhaps the materials for these equipment could be unlocked, and then they could be manufactured.

Having figured all this out, Shen Jue simply lay down and looked at the moon in the sky.

The game system is a virtual entity that exists within Shen Jue's consciousness.

As long as Shen Jue silently recites "open panel," she can see a series of information on the panel.

Name: Shen Jue

Gender: Female

Age: 23

Birthday: June 6th

Current status information

Health Points: 95 (Normal health is 60)

Hunger level: 30 (Haven't eaten for two meals)

Energy Level: 92 (Full of Energy)

Shen Jue also discovered that once hunger reaches 30, the body will be in a weak state and health points will drop slightly, but not by much.

Everyone has a life value; once the life value reaches zero, it means that person is dead.

She guessed that once she replenished her hunger level, her health would also be fully restored. But that wasn't necessarily the case; everything still needed to be tested.

The system manual says that you should take good care of yourself when night falls.

Although you're a beginner now, you won't encounter any major dangers.

However, some hidden dangers will emerge once the beginner period is over. Therefore, these three days of beginner period are very crucial.

She brought up the chat panel for this area and found that everyone was discussing the situation of the wooden crates.

[Shen He: I read in the game manual that you can fish up wooden crates with a fishing rod, but I've been waiting for so long, and it's pitch black, I can't even see the crates, and I haven't caught anything.]

[Wang Yimei: Now that you mention it, I remember, I didn't see it either. Hey, have any of you caught one?]

[Li Yixiu: I've never seen a wooden box before.]

[Zhang Guo: +1.]

"So far, hasn't anyone caught a wooden box? That's a really creepy thought."

[Eileen: No wooden crates mean no supplies, no supplies mean no food, no food means you won't survive three days. Those with bad luck might not even make it through the three-day newbie protection period.]

[Helan: Damn! This is too tragic.]
