Chapter 9 Daily Update

The third day of survival at sea.

Waking up to the sound of a surging tsunami has become a major feature of this game.

When it comes to torturing people, it seems like it has been trained somewhere.

After turning off the alarm clock, Yu Zhu's brows relaxed and his ears felt a lot quieter.

Because of the increase in things to do, she set the alarm time 30 minutes earlier.

It is 8 o'clock in the morning. As usual, Yu Zhu stayed in bed for a minute before getting up to wash up. While brushing his teeth, he added wooden boards (-12) to two simple water purifiers to make them work. By the way, he poured 50ml of water on the cherry tomatoes, rinsed his mouth and face, did some stretching, and then did a few sets of boxing.

About forty minutes passed before Yu Zhu started to eat breakfast, which was still grilled fish. She ate very slowly with almost no expression. Fish was delicious, but no matter how delicious something was, you couldn't stand eating it every day. After eating it for three consecutive days, she was really tired of it.

I silently ate 200g of cooked fish and drank 200ml of water, leaving 1300g of fish and 350ml of water.

During this time, Yu Zhu always felt that she seemed to have forgotten something. She checked the condition of the small tomato again. This little thing was quite unique and had grown several small flowers.

【Cherry tomatoes (planting period 3 days)】

[Current status: Flowering (watered)]

[Remaining time: 2 days, 0 hours, 29 minutes]

Time flies so fast, and the task will be completed tomorrow.

In the past few days, Yu Zhu looked at the task list every day, but there was no change and no clues at all, which was very confusing.

Others might have felt uneasy, but Yu Zhu looked at her 6x6 raft, made up of 36 9-square-meter pieces, and felt reassured. She should be able to complete it, right? With food, water, and a bed to sleep on, why would she need a bicycle?

However, out of caution, Yu Zhu studied the wording of the task again, "Simple Shelter at Sea". She still had some flaws. The key point was the word "避" (shelter), which has the radical "广", and was obviously related to shelter and house.

Yu Zhu looked up at the blue sky above his head again, and there was nothing in sight. The purpose of this mission was probably to let the survivors build a place to protect themselves as soon as possible, so the word "shelter" must play some role.

But building a house in just three days is nothing but a pipe dream, but it would be nice to have something to shelter from the wind and rain.

Today's goal is to find a way to build a shelter for myself, which is more or less related to the word "shelter".

Of course, ideas are always good, but it depends on what can be drawn out of the barrel.

Everything in this game cannot escape the fate of being dominated. For example, once the game introduces a simple grill specifically for grilling food, other informal methods will not be successful in grilling, but will destroy the food. This can be regarded as the unspoken rule of the game.

After having a goal in mind, Yu Zhu opened the chat area and noticed that Fu Wanwan had left a message for him.

Hiss, she said she seemed to have forgotten something, it turned out that she forgot to check the message!

Perhaps the first thing most people do when they wake up is to check their mobile phones, but Yu Zhu has never had this habit. Her life used to be quite regular, without any emergencies, and she didn't have much social interaction.

Now, seeing so many messages, and they were sent by Fu Wanwan, Yu Zhu couldn't help but take it seriously, thinking of her personality.

Fu Wanwan: Boss Yu, someone took advantage of you sleeping and trolled you in the chat area, saying you were selling simple water purifiers without permission and breaking the trading rules.

Yu Zhu: What’s going on?

This first sentence made her confused.

She clearly knew all these words, but when they were put together they were incomprehensible.

She needs permission to sell her own things? Who gave her permission?

And what are the so-called trading zone rules? How come she doesn't know about them?

Besides, she chatted well with people in the trading area!

Fu Wanwan: I've written down their names for you. The leader is Yu Hongyi, and there's also Cai Da...

Fu Wanwan: They told everyone not to buy your simple water purifier, but to buy theirs instead. They also said they'd offer a discount in private transactions, and that it would be cheaper than in the trading area.

Fu Wanwan: What's most infuriating is that some people actually believed it, not even afraid of being scammed. I wonder if they hired their own scammers.

Fu Wanwan: Damn it! I fought him back, and Lian Bo and Mei Bei also helped. A lot of people were upset, so I scolded them and warned them not to trust me. It's better to buy water purifiers through the trading area, otherwise you'll have nowhere to cry if something goes wrong.

Fu Wanwan: If you, Boss Yu, hadn't sold the water purifier first, no one would know when they'd be able to buy it. Who knows where these people are hiding, plotting and scheming!

Fu Wanwan: But it's okay now. It's resolved. I'm going to sleep now. Good night, Boss Yu.

After reading these words, Yu Zhu finally understood everything. She had somewhat expected those people's little tricks.

He belittles his colleagues and exalts himself, and he doesn't even dare to do it in front of them. That's the extent of his behavior. He is cowardly and has no manners.

However, lowering prices and conducting private transactions is indeed a quick way to seize the market. As long as the finished product is made with the game recipe, there will be no major problems. However, there is also the risk of being cheated, and the quality depends entirely on the seller's character and vision.

Of course, Yu Zhu did not expect Fu Wanwan and her group to help, and he probably just couldn't stand the faces of those people.

You have to know that before Yu Zhu sold the water purifier, there was not a single one available in the trading area. After Yu Zhu sold it, many other stores suddenly appeared and started selling it. Smart people would naturally figure out the trick.

In short, she was still very grateful for Fu Wanwan's protection and advice.

Yu Zhu: Wanwan, thank you so much for telling me this.

Fu Wanwan: Good morning! Boss Yu, you're awake!

[Yu Zhu: Good morning, have you had breakfast? ]

[Yu Zhu: Free 100g fish meat]

Fu Wanwan: I just finished eating bread. Boss Yu, can I call you by your name? And you don’t have to give me this. QwQ

Fu Wanwan: Return 100g of fish meat

Yu Zhu: It's just a name. You can call me whatever you want. Please accept the fish and meat as my thank you gift. If there's any left, you can help me share it with the other people who came last night.

[Yu Zhu: Free 300g fish meat]

Fu Wanwan: Huh? Great! Got it! ★v★

Even Fu Wanwan didn't expect Yu Zhu to be so generous.

Up to now in the game, food is still the most scarce resource, no doubt about it, not to mention nutritious fish.

The reason why she helped last night was, firstly, because she was a night owl and happened to be still awake, and secondly, she simply couldn't stand the ugly faces of those people, so she stood up and confronted them. Fortunately, there were many righteous people and many people helped to speak up, otherwise Fu Wanwan really wouldn't be able to win the argument with those people.

She didn't want to do good deeds without leaving her name, so she told this to Yu Zhu, mainly because she wanted to make friends with him. Yu Zhu had told her about the simple water purifier before, and she was very grateful, so she wanted to improve his favorability. Unexpectedly, it was just like an NPC, and when the favorability reached a certain value, she got gifts!

Fu Wanwan had a lot of supplies, but she still felt warm at the sight of the 300g of fish. She felt that Yu Zhu was a kind and generous person, and she wanted to follow her without any words of enticement.

The opportunity was right in front of her, and she decided to perform well!

So, Fu Wanwan took the 300g of fish meat and secretly went to do something big.

After giving the fish, Yu Zhu did not feel any psychological burden. 300g of fish might be a lot for others, and even buying a simple water purifier would cost 340g, but these were really nothing to her. When she thought about the 1000g of fish in the inventory, she had no appetite at all.

Of course, this fish meat must be given. It is a favor for others to help you once, but if you want them to help you again, you need to maintain it. Yu Zhu knows that long-term relationships cannot be separated from the involvement of interests.

She also wrote down the names of those little black guys. Yu Zhu had no other shortcomings except that he had a very good memory. It would be better for these people to check the almanac before going out in the future.

Before closing the chat page, Yu Zhu looked at the two emoticons sent by Fu Wanwan. The expressions were obviously similar, but they looked much cuter than those sent by some people.

After that, Yu Zhu headed straight for the trading area. She definitely wasn't there to shop (? Her main purpose was to observe the market situation. From what everyone was selling, she could get a rough idea of ​​the formulas and material reserves that everyone had.

It was 9:00 a.m. sharp when Yu Zhu stood up and walked to the edge of the raft. He began to salvage supplies, pulling things up one by one. It took him 5 minutes. His technique became more and more skillful, steady and orderly.

One has to sigh at the strong adaptability of human beings. Not only Yu Zhu, but the efficiency of others has also improved significantly. Some people may not be able to catch all the fish at the beginning, and they will inevitably miss a few in the chaos, but now the situation has improved a lot.

We have only been at sea for three days, and everyone has actually gotten used to this kind of life.

Anyway, until we find a way to go back, it's enough to do the best we can.

Yu Zhu would never treat herself badly. She would enjoy every minute she could, not even a second less than sixty seconds.

A few minutes later, the inventory was updated in real time: wooden planks x315 (+15), palm leaves x273 (+8), plastic x267 (+7), rope x1, nails x30, fragments x3 (+1), a bag of snail noodles 350g, a box of 250ml milk, a wooden spear blueprint x1, a simple hook (durability 17).

After a little tidying up, Yu Zhu put the newly opened drinking water together with the previous ones into storage box 1, and the daily necessities and clothes were placed in storage box 2, so that there would be empty grids in the inventory for emergency use.

Although I didn't get the blueprint I wanted, it's worth it to have the blueprint, especially since it's a weapon blueprint.

Yu Zhu saw someone selling wooden spears as early as the first day of the game.

Because it was safer these days, she didn't rush to buy it, but the mission would end tomorrow, and it was hard to say what would happen in the days after that. So, even if she didn't draw the blueprint, Yu Zhu would definitely buy one for self-defense today. But it's not bad to draw it now, and making it yourself is definitely cheaper than buying it.

Yu Zhu directly learned the blueprint, made one and put it in the inventory, and put it on the trading area.

【Wooden Spear: Simple Self-Defense Weapon】

[Durability: 20]

[Materials: 8 wooden boards, 3 ropes]

Click to make rope x2, consuming palm leaves x4, remaining palm leaves x269, rope x3.

Make a wooden spear, remaining planks x307.

After doing all this, Yu Zhu's barbecue business started operating again.

As soon as Yu Zhu showed up today, many people placed orders, giving Yu Zhu the illusion that the business was even more popular than yesterday. Judging from the content of the private messages, everyone seemed particularly enthusiastic.

Yu Zhu: Hmm?

There's something wrong with you!
