After finally graduating from university, she booked a tour group to 'reward' herself for years of hard study, but unexpectedly ran into falling rocks and was killed. Her wonderful life had...
Lin Xue took out the blueprints for the wooden house and looked at them. She found that the wooden house was a layout with 2 bedrooms, 1 living room, 1 kitchen and 1 bathroom.
I never expected to find such user-friendly house plans in the world of ocean survival.
This is much better than her thatched hut.
Materials needed for building the log cabin: 520 planks, 8 panes of glass, 200 nails, 20 cotton thread, 20 hemp rope, 1 waterproof coating, 1 fire-retardant coating, 200 gravel.
After seeing the materials needed to build the wooden house, Lin Xue felt that there were far fewer items than she had imagined.
If you were to make it yourself, you might need even more materials.
Since it's a magical method, it certainly seems much more economical than doing it manually.
"Sister, shall we build this wooden house?"
This time, they actually got the blueprints for a thatched hut. However, seeing that Lin Xue kept looking at the blueprints for building a wooden house, Feng Ling knew that her sister Lin Xue's goal was not a small thatched hut, but a spacious and bright wooden house.
"Of course, after all, there are two of us. This cabin has two bedrooms and a living room, so it will be just right for each of us to have a room!"
"Moreover, my bamboo raft is spacious enough that even if I build a wooden house, there will still be plenty of room to move around!"
Lin Xue often traded food and water for materials in the mall, so her bamboo raft had now expanded to about half an acre in size.
If it weren't for the sea monsters that sneak around at night to eat us, it might have been even bigger.
Since learning that sea monsters couldn't board the raft, Lin Xue stopped caring about them.
You need to get a good night's sleep, otherwise you won't have the energy to collect supply crates during the day.
"Great! I can finally live in the same house as my sister!"
"Once the house is built, let's give Aunt Lin my sister's thatched hut. She must be having a very hard time living there all by herself!"
Because of Lin Xue, Feng Ling became very close to Lin's mother, and the two would often exchange information in private chats.
Especially when Lin Xue was sleeping, Feng Ling, who hadn't adjusted to her sleep schedule yet, and Lin's mother, who was feeling lonely and unable to sleep, became close friends despite their age difference.
The two often envied Lin Xue's carefree attitude. In such a world of ocean survival, she could sleep soundly at night, completely undisturbed by the slightest noises from the outside world.
"Could you help me exchange some glass and planks in the store? I'll also replace all the materials needed for the sold goods with planks!"
She has all the other materials, but she's short about 200 planks, and only has two pieces of glass.
"Okay, let's go ask Aunt Lin how much she has. Let's gather the materials for the wooden house first, so we can deliver it to Aunt Lin as soon as possible!"
Having endured that boundless loneliness herself, Fengling could empathize even more with Lin's mother's current predicament.
Having made the decision, the two went their separate ways to get things done.
Fengling kept an eye on the goods for sale in the mall, while Lin Xue picked up her oar and continued to move forward in a chosen direction.
Upon receiving Fengling's message, Lin's mother quickly sent over the materials she had. To their surprise, Lin Xue's mother had a lot of glass.
Wooden planks are relatively easy to collect because they are very common materials; almost everyone can salvage some every day.
Before nightfall, they finally gathered all the materials needed to build the cabin.
Lin Xue packed up her old thatched hut and sent it to her mother.
Then the newly built wooden house was placed where the old thatched hut had been.
Of course, the shack next to her thatched cottage, which had previously been covered by wind chimes, was also completely dismantled and set aside.
Anyway, their raft was big enough, and they quickly set up the cabin.
After setting up the wooden cabin, Lin Xue went inside to take a look, chose a relatively large bedroom, and put her things inside.
Fengling then went to the second bedroom on her own initiative. The second bedroom was not as big as the master bedroom, but it wasn't much smaller either.
There was even a bed in each bedroom, which solved Lin Xue's immediate problem.
However, looking at the empty bedroom, she felt she needed to salvage more supplies and try to get some wardrobes or something to put in it.
Even if she can't retrieve the blueprints, she can choose to make them herself if she has enough wooden planks.
Although making things yourself may waste some materials, it's worth it if it makes your life better.
There is a small corridor in front of the wooden house, which is located right under the eaves. Fengling has already moved several potted plants to the railing under the eaves.
"Sister, aren't these seeds growing a little too fast? I remember planting these strawberry seeds three days ago, and look, they're already blooming!"
"And this pot of chili seeds, although it was planted together with the strawberry seeds, it has only just sprouted and grown a little bit!"
Fengling pointed to the two potted plants and said to Lin Xue.
"The strawberry seeds are of medium grade. Perhaps because of the different grades, the two seeds have different growth cycles!"
"These chili seeds are just ordinary seeds; they certainly won't grow as fast as intermediate-grade seeds!"
"Growing vegetables also depends on the quality of the soil and seeds. In the future, we will collect more high-quality soil, mark out an area with a wooden board, pour the soil in, and if we find any seeds, we will plant them in the vegetable garden!"
Most of the supplies salvaged from the sea are convenience foods; vegetables and fruits are rarely found.
Lin Xue was able to catch some fruit because she was so diligent and efficient.
Almost every box that came into her sight managed to slip away right under her nose.
"That's a good idea, but it would be best if we could retrieve the blueprints for the vegetable garden. Having the blueprints would save us a lot of materials!"
As they were talking, the two moved all the potted plants outside onto the railing.
It looks nice and is easy to maintain when placed together; it's much neater than when it's left outside.
[Beep beep beep, there's a new message!]
[3628: Xiaoxue, I just found a wardrobe blueprint. I thought you guys might need it after moving!]
Upon seeing the notification, Lin Xue quickly walked to the boundary marker and began operating it.
[6688: This is exactly what we needed! We've been searching for ages and haven't been able to retrieve it!]
As Lin Xue finished speaking, she saw in the private chat that her mother had already mailed the blueprints to her.
[A new package has arrived. Would you like to open it now?]
"open!"
After receiving the blueprints, Lin Xue chatted briefly with her mother before starting to prepare the materials for making the wardrobe.
By the time all the materials were gathered, it was already the morning of the next day.
Lin Xue scoured the online store for anything usable, and then quickly had the wardrobe made.
The materials we've collected so far are only enough to make one batch. To make more, we need to collect more blueprints and materials!
