Chapter 19 September 17th

8:30 p.m.

After dinner, Yu Zhu gulped down another 300ml of warm water, feeling warm all over.

It was said before that the climate at sea is changeable and the temperature difference between day and night is large. She finally experienced it thoroughly.

Comparing the past few days with today, it was just a small matter. It is worthy of being the novice protection period.

The temperature was 40 degrees Celsius during the day and 4 degrees Celsius at night. Out of respect for the temperature, Yu Zhu did not plan to take a shower tonight. She just boiled a few pots of sea water, wet a towel to wipe her body, did some simple washing, and then lay down on the simple bed early.

Plans cannot keep up with changes. Now many players are busy with their own affairs. Yu Zhu decided not to continue the grilling business. With her current resource reserves, she can indeed consider closing the business. Since the business is no longer in business, the simple grill can be put on the trading area.

[Yu Zhu: Simple Grill (pictured), grill food, 100% health, exchange for 280g water/12 wooden planks + 2 fragments + 6 ropes]

After skillfully opening the game panel and completing the operation, Yu Zhu began to check today's sales.

A total of 89 simple sheds, 5 simple beds, 10 simple water purifiers, and 2 wooden spears were sold in the trading area.

Among them, only a dozen or so sheds were sold during the day. When the temperature is too high, parasols are definitely more effective than sheds, so not many sheds were sold at that time. But now the temperature has changed, and the sales volume is all affected by the low temperature at night.

I guess many people who bought parasols are regretting it, as no one expected it to be so cold at night.

In this case, people who still have supplies on hand will choose to buy simple sheds, as there is really no other alternative. Those who cannot gather all the supplies will buy hats, gloves, scarves, thick clothes, thick quilts, hot water bottles, heat pads, etc. to help themselves.

It’s not that they haven’t thought about burning something to keep warm, but the night is so long that they can’t afford it. Survival is not easy, the player sighed.

Although 4 degrees Celsius will not cause any harm to the human body in a short period of time, as long as you wear more clothes and fully arm yourself, there will be no big problem. However, if you have a weak constitution and sleep in this temperature for a night, you will probably be frozen solid the next day.

Therefore, even though other people opened simple sheds in today's two rounds of supplies + task rewards, Yu Zhu still sold a lot. First, the market demand is huge, and second, she herself is influential and can be regarded as a celebrity in this server. In addition, she has the bonus of the title, and her product searches are always ranked first. Players will most likely choose hers to buy.

With the help of the makeshift shed and ice cream, Yu Zhu's number of fans has quietly reached 1,500.

After browsing the changes in personal information, it is time for the most enjoyable moment of the day, counting the profits.

The inventory is updated in real time: Wood planks x3845 (+833), Palm leaves x4563 (+798), Plastic x2824 (+462), Rope x111 (+7), Nails x1366 (+371), Fragments x264 (+179), Stone x6, 800ml water, 300g cooked fish, 1350g raw fish.

The resources earned today are far less than yesterday, but it’s not bad either. Yesterday was a special case, and I don’t know when the next task will be issued.

When she saw the six stones, Yu Zhu remembered that she could make arrows. The safety index was very high during the day, so she was not in a hurry to do it. There was still time to make them now.

Crafting Stone Arrows

Consumption: Wood x6, Stone x6, Plastic x6

Obtain: Stone Arrow x6

Remaining: 3839 wooden boards, 4557 plastics

Place the stone arrows and intermediate bow in the same grid for easy access.

Props used: Fishing rod (durability 7) + bait x7, simple hook (durability 14), sun hat (durability 15), woven straw sandals (durability 19), intermediate bow (durability 40) + stone arrows x6.

Yu Zhu remembered seeing someone selling elementary bows and arrows in the trading area. The damage should be on the same level as a wooden spear. Anyway, she would never sell her intermediate bows and arrows, as this was her most powerful trump card at the moment.

She couldn't accept the situation where "the weapons she sold ended up hitting herself", and she tried to avoid it as much as possible. After all, the damage difference between intermediate weapons and primary weapons was too great.

As for the others who have intermediate weapons, they shouldn’t be that stupid, right?

Fortunately, Yu Zhu did not find similar intermediate weapons in the trading area, so she was quite satisfied.

Although players can't meet each other now, who knows what will happen in the future? It's always better to be cautious.

Before going to bed, Yu Zhu opened the chat area again. There were fewer people chatting than usual. Perhaps they had lost the energy to even complain. Most of the people who chatted were saying things like "it's cold" and "I don't want to die".

Just as she was about to close the interface, she discovered that the number of people above had changed. It was no longer 10,000 people, but 9,893 people. More than a hundred people had quietly disappeared.

The fate of these people can be imagined, they definitely did not return.

In reality, many people catch colds and fevers during the change of seasons, not to mention the huge temperature difference between day and night. It is normal for players to be unable to withstand it.

Thinking that some people had already died, Yu Zhu's first thought was not sadness, but a feeling that it was inevitable. There would always be casualties in a live-action survival game, and this was just the beginning.

Human beings are both tenacious and fragile, and we only have one life.

However, there is no point in thinking so much. Instead of worrying about others, it is better to look at yourself. The most important thing is to live your own life well.

Yu Zhu quickly collected her thoughts. She lowered the curtain of the shed, wrapped herself tightly in her quilt, lay quietly for a while, and slowly fell asleep.

She thought she would sleep until dawn, but in a half-awake state, she heard a "crunching" sound, which became clearer and clearer, as if someone was biting something?

Yu Zhu was woken up.

Not being allowed to sleep in the middle of the night, Yu Zhu, who was originally healthy, also developed a disease called morning grumpiness.

It just so happened that she was very brave. If it were someone else, they would probably be scared to death. Yu Zhu simply lifted the quilt, crawled out of the shed, and looked towards the source of the sound.

Before she could walk over, she saw that the little ones opposite had also woken up.

Simple Water Purifier No. 1: It’s over, it’s over, that guy is coming!

Simple Water Purifier No. 2: Hide! Hide and you'll be fine!

Simple Grill: We have so many rafts, it should last a while!

Yu Zhu was confused: "Who's here?"

Simple Bed: It's a shark, don't go over there, it's very dangerous.

Makeshift Shed: It’s cold outside, come back quickly.

The group of little ones were extremely nervous, fearing that she would die in an impulsive move.

But how could Yu Zhu sleep while listening to the incessant "crackling" sound?

A person who is burning with anger is not afraid of the cold, and she wants to get rid of the source of this trouble now.

Yu Zhu: "Yeah, I understand."

Just when the little ones thought that Yu Zhu had been successfully persuaded, they saw her walking towards the source of the sound.

Various items: ???

Yu Zhu walked until he was 2 meters away from the edge of the raft before stopping.

The night was slightly brighter than before she went to bed. Although it was still a little dark, she could at least see the general outline of the thing. It was black and large, biting her raft in an extremely arrogant manner.

She directly took out the intermediate bow and stone arrows from the inventory, pulled the bowstring, and aimed at the prey.

The next second, with a "whoosh", the black shadow was shot accurately and powerfully.

It immediately opened its mouth and disappeared into the sea, with a strong smell of blood spreading.

It was too dark, and Yu Zhu couldn't hit its eyes, but her arrow penetrated deeply into its body.

Just one blow was far from enough to kill it, so Yu Zhu was thinking of a way.

Although sharks are relatively brainless and generally do not hold grudges, the prerequisite is that you do not hurt them.

Now, Yu Zhu's arrow is still on it, and she knows it will definitely come back.

Be patient, she sits on the ground, like a very patient hunter, waiting for the arrival of her prey.

I opened the chat area and found that this wave of shark night attack had killed many people.

【Lucky: Oh my god, there's a shark! 】

[Qiu Jun: F*ck, that scared the hell out of me.]

Luo Xincheng: Don't panic, everyone. If you have weapons, grab some. If you don't, buy some quickly. Stab the sharks and save the raft first!

Zeng Yi: Woohoo! I poked it, why isn't it running away?

Qi Boyi: Your attack power is too low, isn't it? Just poke it a few more times.

[Yun Jing: Help! I was bitten by a shark! Someone please save me!]

Cui Cong: If this shark dares to bite the raft, it's bound to bite humans! Those with low agility shouldn't get too close! Think of other options. If nothing else works, just abandon the raft.

…

A few minutes later, Yu Zhu heard the sound of water breaking again, and the shark was indeed coming.

This time it did not bite the raft, but headed straight towards Yu Zhu, opening its bloody mouth and leaping over from the sea.

Yu Zhu rolled on the ground and narrowly avoided it. The next moment, a wooden spear appeared in her hand. She also stood up and leaped, stabbing the shark fiercely.

It was another scene of blood and flesh flying everywhere. The shark kept twisting its body and struggling. It was estimated to be about 2 meters long. Its tail was still soaked in the sea and it was flapping its wings hard.

Yu Zhu held the wooden spear tightly with both hands and thrust it deeper into the shark's body, while searching for its eyes. Due to the difference in strength between them, the shark fell back into the sea in just a few seconds.

The moment it completely entered the sea, Yu Zhu also jumped in, holding the wooden spear tightly and swimming around in the sea, led by the shark.

A stone arrow quietly appeared in her palm. This time, she stabbed it hard into its eye, which was undoubtedly a huge critical hit.

Yu Zhu continued his efforts and took out more stone arrows. In just a few minutes, he pierced the shark into a hedgehog. The shark struggled violently at first, but later became increasingly weaker until the wooden spear pierced its head and it could no longer move.

The battle lasted a full twenty minutes.

1:30 AM

Yu Zhu, covered in blood, climbed onto the raft and dragged a shark ashore.

Everyone: stunned.

Yu Zhu gasped for breath and said only two words: "Decompose."

The fish in the inventory has increased by a very surprising number [15000g]

Yu Zhu took the time to take a look, and she confirmed one thing, and couldn't help but swear.

"You are so greedy."

Such a big shark is only worth this little fish?

It seemed that the game also felt that it had gone too far, and it actually responded.

[Sharks have a unique urinary system, and it's difficult for us to handle it.]

[Ding! We've detected that you are the first player in this server to kill a shark!]

[Gift Title: Shark Hunter Novice (Already Worn)]

[Effect of wearing: 1% deterrent to sharks]

Yu Zhu: ...?

She raised her middle finger to the sky.
