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 88 January 21st
The sun sets in the west, and the sunset glows beautifully.
Yu Zhu glanced at the rosy ink-colored sky. Her island had gone far away, and the raft no longer needed to stay.
She took out a stone axe, changed course and walked to the other side of the raft, and cut open the three disposable anchors that had been fixed for a long time one by one.
The raft moved in an instant, and the rope was carried to the deepest part of the seabed by the stone basket in the sea. In the end, only three shallow traces were left on the raft, proving that they had existed.
After doing all this, Yu Zhu stood up again, feeling extremely relieved and relaxed. He had no destination yet, so there was no need to set sail. He could just rely on the waves to push him along, drifting wherever he wanted.
Counting the days, tomorrow is the seventh day. This broken game has a single day off, and every 7th day there is a day off. She can have a good rest and will definitely sleep until noon!
Thinking of this, Yu Zhu couldn't help humming a song, and walked briskly back to the cabin. When he opened the door, he saw the room full of golden rays of light.
This is the afterglow of sunset. Different from the scorching and bright sunshine, the color of the glow is darker, with a lingering and lazy beauty.
The raft changed direction with the waves of the sea, which allowed the rays of sunlight to sneak in playfully through the window. It fell on the plum blossom on the carpet, making its light-colored pattern even more beautiful. The other half shone on Xinni, dyeing her black hair with a sparkling golden light.
Meihua has been staying by the bed, guarding Xinni obediently. It always keeps Yu Zhu's instructions in mind and always does them clearly.
When the two little ones saw Yu Zhu enter the room, they all turned their heads and looked at her expectantly, their eyes filled with joy.
As usual, Yu Zhu put out the simple bed and tent so that the little ones could reunite. Then he sat down on the carpet, took the well-behaved Meihua into his arms, stroked the soft fur on the side of its neck with his fingers, and leaned back lazily on the edge of the bed.
Seeing this, Xinni moved to the edge of the bed, leaned close to the back of her head, and cushioned her neck.
Ever since she entered the room, everyone has been busy, vying to chat and greet Yu Zhu. Yu Zhu also announced that she would be off tomorrow. Although she had not received confirmation from the game, she felt that it was basically the same.
Little ones: Yeah!
(Game:? Predicted)
Yu Zhu has had little rest this week. She goes out every day and falls asleep as soon as she touches the pillow every night. If you can count the number of steps she takes every day, she walks at least 100,000 steps every day, not including the distance she spends rowing and climbing. Now she can finally take a break, and everyone is happy for Yu Zhu.
After chatting happily for a while, the little ones also keenly felt the changes in the raft.
Simple Water Purifier No. 2: Why do I feel like the raft is moving?
Simple Grill: Isn't the raft always moving?
Simple Water Purifier No. 1: It should say mobile.
Makeshift Shed: Are we starting over?
Cot: Let’s go, let’s go.
Meihua, who was standing by, squinted her eyes in comfort after being rubbed, and Xinni's tail swayed from time to time, looking leisurely and comfortable.
Yu Zhu announced directly: "That's right, we are setting sail again!"
Little ones: Go for it!
Everyone was very motivated and full of energy, and even Yu Zhu was fully charged. She only sat and rested for a few minutes before opening the inventory and preparing to decorate again.
The cabin is a 5m square, with plenty of room in the middle. I didn't have much space before, but now that I've just finished shopping and added a large item, I need to rearrange it. The single bed and bathroom remain in the same position, but the center wall (at the end of the bed) is neatly stacked with storage boxes.
All the items that were originally placed by the window were moved to the center of the wooden house, and then a long leather sofa was taken out and placed against the wall. The simple shed was also changed from being placed horizontally to being placed vertically. Inside was still the wooden planks and plum blossom nest, and next to it was a simple bed that was also placed vertically.
In front of the sofa is a rectangular white carpet, on the carpet is a folding table, which is equivalent to a small coffee table, and next to it are other items.
A screen and a projector are hung directly opposite the sofa. Storage boxes and a mid-level water purifier are stacked in the empty space underneath. There is a clothes hanger at the door with a heavy coat hanging on it.
5:50 PM
Yu Zhu worked very quickly, and it took only about 30 minutes of hammering and banging to complete the renovation. (The layout diagram is available in the vb)
The person collapsed back and lay on the leather sofa. It was warm in winter and cool in summer, very comfortable, and he felt like he didn't want to work hard anymore.
She held the projector's controller in her hand and pressed the power button.
Yu Zhu bought a collection of popular online dramas, movies and variety shows. This was the most expensive of the eight items, 1 point more expensive than the intermediate prop blueprint. It was a small card that he put into the projector. The two were used together.
As bright light was projected onto the more than 2-meter-long screen, Yu Zhu became excited. His home had become a cinema. The screen was large and clear, and it looked so cool.
The specific operation is just like watching TV, with four major categories: online dramas, TV series, movies, and variety shows.
Yu Zhu clicked on each of them, and there was actually a ranking list, arranged according to weekly/monthly/total playback volume, with only the top ten displayed. There were many familiar works, all of which were based on reality.
She looked through the major rankings carefully. All the works that made it to the list were classics. Only the ranking of movies was different. At a glance, all of them were disaster films, mostly maritime disasters. In addition to natural disasters, there were also sea monsters, such as tsunamis, whirlpools, megalodon, giant octopuses and the like.
Yu Zhu suddenly realized that although the work was based on reality, the rankings were based on games, and these should be ranked based on the number of views watched by game players.
She immediately clicked on the number one movie on the list, which was very consistent with the theme of the game. It was called "Survival at Sea". The opening scene was a male and female protagonist attending a luxurious feast at sea, but the cruise ship suddenly exploded.
Just minutes before the cruise ship sank, they managed to escape in a lifeboat, but fainted again due to the huge roar. When they woke up again, there was only each other and a lifeboat on the sea.
The process was thrilling and exciting. I thought I was out of danger, but everything had just begun.
The first problems they faced were hunger and drinking water. The male and female protagonists used the limited resources of the lifeboat to build simple fishing rods and water purifiers to fish and purify water. They spent the most difficult days. They longed for rescue all the time, but saw no hope.
The sea was boundless and slowly swallowed people. Before the two could break down emotionally, they encountered bad weather and a storm at sea. It was another escape. They only managed to escape from the storm area until the lifeboat ran out of fuel.
After surviving another disaster, they felt much more optimistic. At least they were still alive. After that, they experienced disasters of all sizes. They finally came across a small island. They thought they could live on the island and be like Robinson Crusoe. However, the island sank two days later.
Yu Zhu was eating honey-roasted chestnuts. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help laughing out loud, but a hint of deep meaning flashed in his eyes.
Xinni and Meihua lay on her left and right, each staring intently at the movie. The little ones in front continued to chatter non-stop. Simple Water Purifier No. 1: Hahaha! These two unlucky guys!
Simple Grill: It’s really miserable.
Simple Water Purifier No. 2: Many disasters.
Simple shed: It looks familiar.
Simple bed: looks familiar.
Items: ...
Perhaps thinking of the past, they all fell silent.
Although Yu Zhu didn't say anything, she kept talking. The movie was really wonderful. She was so engrossed in it that she forgot to eat dinner, but she still had a belly full of snacks.
In the end, the hero and heroine experienced countless disasters and dangers, spent hundreds of days at sea, and finally reached their limit. When their consciousness was about to sink, they saw a helicopter flying from a distance and a brand new luxury ship. Their vision was completely darkened, and the film ended here.
Were they rescued?
Yu Zhu didn’t know either, maybe there was, maybe there wasn’t. The final scene was so beautiful that it seemed like an illusion, a sweet dream before death.
The whole movie is 2 hours long and has a fast pace. Basically, the protagonist has just caught his breath when he encounters a new disaster. The viewers are dazzled. The protagonist goes from laughing and playing, trying to survive, to being in a trance and becoming a walking corpse. The ending seems to be happy, but it gives people a feeling of depression.
Yu Zhu didn't show any expression. While the little ones were still actively discussing the topic of "whether the protagonist was really rescued", she had already closed the movie and switched to the variety show channel after confirming that there was no ending easter egg.
Compared with the popular variety shows on the rankings, Yu Zhu went straight to the search bar and searched for the variety shows she was following in real life. To her surprise, she actually found it, and it was in the full episode state, so she continued watching the variety show.
I just watched a movie and it felt no different from watching it in the cinema, except for the fact that there were no barrages.
The role of the projector is not only to provide spiritual comfort to players, but also a new channel for obtaining information, but it cannot enable communication.
After figuring out the function of the new item, Yu Zhu opened the chat area again. Many players had already @ her, asking when the cold-resistant soup would be sold.
This should be the last night of extreme cold, and also the most critical moment. As long as we can survive, tomorrow will usher in "spring". As for what will happen after that? We will have to wait until that day comes, and then we can think about it.
Yu Zhu skillfully rolled up his sleeves, took out the ingredients, and started tonight's business. Not far away was a burning bonfire, emitting steady heat.
Although there are many more people selling cold-resistant foods, Yu Zhu is still the most popular one.
Yu Zhu (Big Loudspeaker): Selling delicious fish stew/vegetable soup. Same old rules and prices. Welcome to place your orders! Hang in there, everyone. Get through today, and you'll be a brave man again tomorrow!
Xiang Tianlei: Boss Yu is right! (Teeth chattering)
Wang Duoyu: Come on, brothers, eat and drink when you need to, don't starve to death!
【Ma Bei: After taking a sip of the delicious fish soup, I felt like I was alive again. Long live the cabin!】
Hang Hui: Help! I live in a small ranch with a doghouse. I've added a 15% constant temperature buff and lit a campfire. It was fine yesterday, but I drank some soup today and I'm still freezing. If this continues, my grandmother will have to come get me! QAQ
Qi Boyi: Relax, a lifetime passes by in the blink of an eye!
