Starting with a Raft, Ocean Survival

24-year-old Yu Zhu is a security guard. Her daily routine involves sitting around reading newspapers, effectively skipping 40 years of hard work compared to others. Perhaps the heavens couldn't...

Chapter 58 Updated on October 22nd

After this experience of catching a giant fish, Yu Zhu felt that the difficulty was not just a matter of probability. If someone encountered one without some strength, they would not be able to control it. An ordinary fishing rod could not withstand the strength of the giant fish at all.

If it had encountered any other player, it might have survived, but it happened to meet Yu Zhu, which meant it was really dead.

This wave of harvest was quite fruitful, and Yu Zhu was humming a little tune while cleaning the scene.

The fishing area is very spacious and there is no other loss except 2 rafts + fishing rods + campfire.

The folding chair was pushed away by Xinni in time, and the lighting lamp was hung high on the intermediate parachute. After the raft was smashed for the first time, she deliberately led it to the side, and it was also intact.

Yu Zhu only needed to mop the floor, add two pieces of wood to the raft, and then go home with the flashlight.

When she turned around, she found that Xinni was still waiting for her, but Meihua had already gone back to be the orator.

Yu Zhu touched Xinni's head, and the man and the leopard returned to the cabin.

Sure enough, seeing Meihua giving a passionate speech, which was even more exciting than yesterday, Xinni also returned to her old place, lying on the cat paw pillow, acting as a listener.

Yu Zhu boiled some water as usual and took a hot bath. As soon as he sat on the blanket, his stomach started to growl, so he thought about bargaining with the game.

While stroking Xinni's little head, she asked meaningfully, "Xinni, do you want to eat tuna?"

Xinni tilted her head curiously. The little leopard had never eaten such delicious food before. It used to live in the forest and its diet consisted of herbivores. It only ate fish after following Yu Zhu. How could the big cat not like fish?

As if seeing Xinni's anticipation, Yu Zhu said seriously, "This tuna is much more delicious than ordinary fish."

(Yugi pricked up his nonexistent ears. Who was there?)

"Some of these games are really disappointing. It was bad enough that I caught a small amount before, but this time I caught a giant fish, and I couldn't even get a bite of real tuna. They just gave me some ordinary fish to make do with."

【……】

There is no other person in the game who can openly imply it, after all, other players just curse it directly (?

Seeing that the game has posted six points, it seems that it is quite self-aware.

Yu Zhu said compassionately, "Of the thousands of kilograms of fish, just give me 40 kilograms. Even capitalists are less corrupt than you. How about this? I won't ask for more. Just give me another 100 kilograms of tuna, and that's it."

【? 】

(Is it crazy, or is she crazy?)

The game can only provide a pale explanation.

[The fish processing steps are very complicated, including bleeding, acid removal, and gutting... The only fish we give to players is the highest quality meat.]

Yu Zhu: "Is this why you processed my tuna into ordinary fish meat?"

Just now when she was taking a shower, she felt something was wrong. She had been blinded by the weight before and was somewhat accustomed to the CPU. She didn't bother to care about big, medium and small fish, but this was a giant fish. Who knew where the dog game had greedily taken her fish!

Obviously, the game didn't expect the player to be so smart all of a sudden. He was quite happy when he just decomposed it, but turned around to settle the score!

It finally compromised. After all, it was not in the right, but 100 kilograms was absolutely impossible. In the end, it upgraded Yu Zhu's 20,000g of fish meat to 20,000g of tuna meat.

The previous operation of the game reminded Yu Zhu of a time when an employee at work secured a large order worth one million yuan, but all the commission was taken away by his superiors, and the employee was only given a cash reward of 5,000 yuan.

Greed is written all over her face, she needs to be taught a lesson, she has an obligation to help the game get back on the "right track".

"Even though you're not a human, you still have to have principles as a game."

【……】

(As expected of a player who can catch a giant fish, even his curses are so sarcastic)

"Don't be so superficial. What's the point of taking so much at once? Are you going to die in the future?"

【No……】

"You still say no? You're deducting player rewards, and you still want them to work for you? You're courting your own destruction!"

(A few hundred words of small class content are omitted here)

I know I was wrong...

(It was scolded so much that its head grew bigger. It wanted to play dead, but didn’t dare.)

Five minutes later, Yu Zhu drank some warm water mixed with jujubes to moisten his throat, and then ended this reverse CPU education.

"Remember, only by working together with the players to achieve a win-win situation can we make it to the end."

【Hmm (well behaved)】

Yu Zhu's heartfelt words really made it think a lot.

Because that's what their peers do. They say that humans are capable of creating miracles, but the prerequisite is to exploit them as much as possible, drive them into despair, and make them explode in order to gain greater benefits.

It feels that it hasn't done anything excessive (guilty), it just wants to achieve results, and it has been obsessed with it. But Yu Zhu is right, if all the players die, what will happen to it? (Think deeply)

Seeing that the game seemed to have taken it in, Yu Zhu was very relieved. It's just a CPU, right? Who can't do it?

Although the game ostensibly allows players to trade freely and kindly controls the market price without charging any additional fees, in Yu Zhu's opinion, this is like an inherent setting that has been improved countless times and has long since matured, and the trading area may not be under the control of the game.

If you think about it carefully, apart from the resources picked by the players, all other fish/bear meat that needs to be processed by the game has been withheld. This is also the only way they can obtain resources from the players.

This game definitely has a superior, and it probably also has mission requirements, just like some games in reality have many servers. The 4366th server where Yu Zhu is located is just one of many inconspicuous servers.

She felt she was enlightened.

Take out a piece of tuna meat, it is obviously different from ordinary fish meat, the texture is tighter, the color is gradient, some are dark and some are light, the deliciousness is visible to the naked eye, this class is really worth it.

Xinni next to him was originally enjoying having her chin scratched comfortably, but when she smelled the scent, her eyes immediately widened. She wanted to get closer, but tried her best to restrain herself.

Yu Zhu fed the meat directly to it. It was so tender that it swallowed it whole without even chewing it. She smiled at the sight and couldn't help but nod its head.

"You little greedy cat."

Xinni licked Yu Zhu's hand, which still tasted of tuna.

Yu Zhu fed Xinni another 3 pieces, a total of 400g. It was obvious that Xinni loved to eat it, but she couldn't eat too much, which would cause indigestion. She lay there with a reluctant look on her face, squinting her eyes happily.

On the other side, Meihua's thin neck was about to stretch straight. Yu Zhu also put a 50g piece of rice in her bowl. If it weren't for her professional ethics, she would have run over to eat it long ago, but she hadn't finished her speech yet. Damn it! She could only watch Xinni eat with relish while trying to speed up her speech!

After feeding the two little ones, Yu Zhu's tuna was also grilled. She deliberately did not grill it until it was fully cooked, about 70% done, and sprinkled chili powder, salt, cumin and other seasonings on the surface. When she took a bite, the meat was tender, fragrant and fresh.

As expected, delicious ingredients only require the simplest cooking methods, and it was so delicious that she even showed off two big pieces.

I just don’t know if Xiao Ming can make sashimi. I’ll ask him tomorrow when I have time.

As soon as Meihua finished speaking, she seemed to want to fly to the rice bowl and peck at the meat frantically. We are really not from the same family. It's just like her.

After the meal, I ate some fruit, went to the small wooden basin outside the door, harvested 300g of coriander, and planted wheat seeds.

It was not until 10:45 in the evening that Yu Zhu brushed his teeth and climbed onto the cot.

She held Xinni in one hand and received information from the trading area with the other.

(The values ​​are carefully calculated and there is basically no error)

Taking inventory of items before going to bed every night has become a small part of Yu Zhu's sleep-aid routine.

It seems that the greenhouse has indeed affected the sales of the wooden house. If players are prepared for the rain and set up the facilities in advance, they can save a lot of money by buying the greenhouse, but Yu Zhu is not panicked at all.

The wooden house + greenhouse has secured Yu Zhu's position as a real estate tycoon. Currently, she is the only one selling them. No matter which one the players buy, Yu Zhu will make the profit, so she will never lose money.

Both stone pickaxes and stone axes sold more than yesterday. It is estimated that all players with maps have landed on the island, and with many players competing to sell them, her sales are already very good. There will be a decline tomorrow, and there may not be so many.

Although both can be used as props and weapons and have many uses, their attack range is relatively short. The wooden spear is the melee weapon with the longest attack range besides the bow and arrow, and a lot of them have been sold.

After a night of shark attacks, Yu Zhu even scrapped a wooden spear, not to mention the other players. Everyone had to replace it in time.

All durable items are the same, there is a limit to their use and they need to be replaced at any time. Yu Zhu's props don't have much durability left. She has the recipe, so there's no rush. She can make it tomorrow.

After looking for a while, he closed his eyes happily.

The night was very peaceful. The shark did not come to bite Yu Zhu's raft again, but it visited other people.

Players with too low secondary attributes can only lie down and let themselves be bitten. Based on previous experience, they expand the raft to a large size, treating it as a ferocious pet (shark). Even the sound of the shark biting the raft becomes particularly hypnotic after listening to it for a long time.

Players with medium-level attributes and who were reluctant to spend their resources were actively fighting, battling the sharks back and forth, finding some fun in the midst of hardship (?

Players with higher secondary attributes were generally affected by Yu Zhu, and were all wondering how to kill this big guy. They didn't know how Yu Zhu did it, and what she was doing now.
