At this moment, he managed to sit on the raft with great effort and saw Lu Xingchen.

He was stunned for a moment when he saw Lu Xingchen, who was bright, cheerful and full of energy.

Unexpectedly, Lu Xingchen was so beautiful. Even more unexpectedly, after a day at sea, Lu Xingchen was still so energetic. Moreover, he seemed to see a wooden pavilion in her background.

Her raft was huge, with several wooden crates on it.

She was now sitting comfortably on a wooden chair, leaning against the railing, leisurely casting her fishing rod, looking like she was on vacation.

Zhong Qiang's expression darkened.

He, a strong and robust man, was not even as good as a weak girl. Look how well she was doing, with food and drink, exchanging resources to expand her raft, while he was about to die.

Zhong Qiang couldn't help but become even shorter.

After observing for a moment, Lu Xingchen said, "Let me see your fishing rod."

Zhong Qiang traded the fishing rod without saying a word.

Lu Xingchen was surprised. She really only wanted to take a look and had no intention of taking it.

It seems Zhong Qiang has lost all hope, and he casually gave away his fishing rod.

Even though the fishing rod is broken, it's better than nothing.

In the blink of an eye, a fishing rod was in Lu Xingchen's hand, and sure enough, it didn't have a hook.

【Get a broken fishing rod! 】

[Survival Tip: If your fishing rod is damaged, you can repair it at the workbench or make a new one.]

Can it be repaired?

Lu Xingchen opened the workbench.

【Fishing Rod (Repairable): Required Resources: 70/1 Wood, Repair Now?】

The required supplies are not many, just a piece of wood.

Lu Xingchen sighed, because of this one thing, a strong, healthy man almost died.

Initial supplies are very important.

This also shows that everyone is having a hard time and has no time to care about the life or death of a stranger, nor the energy or time to show kindness.

Lu Xingchen asked, "How do you want others to help you?"

Zhong Qiang was slightly taken aback: "I..."

Yes, how can others help him? Give him water and food?

But his fishing rod is broken, so he can't get supplies. Will others continue to support him?

How is that possible?

His eyes suddenly dimmed, and his expression turned bitter.

In fact, he has no way out...

If he thought about it carefully, he would know that's how it is, but he didn't dare to think that way, so he repeatedly posted in the regional chat and asked for help, hoping to get a glimmer of hope.

Lu Xingchen waited a moment and saw Zhong Qiang's expression gradually turn to despair. His back, which had been trying to stay straight, slowly bent and he was almost collapsing on the raft. Only then did she slowly say, "I can fix your fishing rod!"

"What?" Zhong Qiang's eyes sparkled with hope, and he straightened up suddenly. "Really?"

Lu Xingchen nodded.

Zhong Qiang's voice trembled with excitement: "As long as I have a good fishing rod, I can catch some supplies, and then I can survive!"

He solemnly said, "Lu Xingchen, all you need to do is fix my fishing rod. I promise that from now on, all the supplies I catch with this fishing rod, unless it's absolutely necessary for survival, will be given to you!"

This was exactly what Lu Xingchen had been waiting for.

She didn't necessarily need all of Zhong Qiang's supplies; she just didn't want to save an ungrateful person.

She turned and went to the tool bench to repair the fishing rod.

Should the fishing rod be repaired?

"repair!"
