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 96 March 20th
After simply buying three things, Yu Zhu prepared to buy some tools. The game had passed the initial stage and the configuration also needed to be upgraded.
She first searched for the word "hook", and sure enough, she found new products. The one at the top was no longer a simple hook, but an intermediate hook.
[Lianbo: Intermediate Hook (pictured), increases gathering efficiency by 50%, allows for faster collection of supplies, and allows for longer throwing distances. Durability: 90. Exchanges for 820g of water, 1 bolt/12 fragments, 4 ropes, 8 planks, and 2 bolts.]
This is an advanced version of the simple hook, and the price is nearly 19 times more expensive.
After half a month of picking up trash (daily minimum allowance), those players who have survived to this day have reached a skilled level in collecting supplies and rarely miss any. Usually, a simple hook is enough.
Even if people are very tempted by the intermediate hook, most of them are reluctant to buy it because of the price and low cost-performance. But players like Yu Zhu, who are not short of money, pay more attention to the quality of the props. She just clicked on the picture and glanced at the real object projection, and bought it directly, replacing the simple hook in the inventory.
Ever since teaching Xinni how to salvage supplies, Yu Zhu's hook is no longer used to pick up trash, but to climb steep cliffs and collect other supplies (such as clay, seaweed, etc.). Although he is very satisfied with the quality of the simple hook, it still has some shortcomings. It would be more appropriate to replace it with an intermediate hook.
[Mei Bei: Metal Axe (pictured), increases felling efficiency by 50%, sharp and wear-resistant, has high damage, and has a durability of 90. Exchange for 860g of drinking water + 2 metal ingots + 1 bolt / 20 planks + 8 ropes + 6 fragments + 4 metal ingots + 2 bolts]
Wang Duoyu: Metal Pickaxe (pictured), increases quarrying efficiency by 50%, sharp and wear-resistant, has high damage, and has a durability of 90. Exchange for 760g of drinking water, 1 metal ingot, 1 bolt, 20 planks, 8 ropes, 6 fragments, 2 metal ingots, and 2 bolts.
Compared with the intermediate hook, metal axes and metal pickaxes will sell better. They are both tools and weapons. Compared with stone axes and stone pickaxes, their prices are only about 5 times more expensive, so their sales will definitely be very good.
Logging and quarrying are two types of activities that give players a headache. They require a lot of physical strength and time. With upgraded axes and pickaxes, the efficiency is directly improved by a large margin. Even if there are no trees to chop or stones to mine at sea, they will definitely be used in the future. Players always have to go to the island, and it is a sure profit to buy them. Stone axes and stone pickaxes are destined to be eliminated by the market.
As the person who owns these two formulas, Yu Zhu has always had her products ranked first in related searches because of the title bonus. She has also reaped a lot of benefits. When she thinks that these two items will not be able to be sold in the future, she doesn't feel it's a pity. This is the general trend of the game and it is inevitable. What's more, she has tasted the sweetness of real estate and doesn't care about these small profits.
After replacing all the stone axes and stone pickaxes in the inventory, the props in Yu Zhu's hands were all intermediate level.
Soon, she went to the weapons area. As expected, most of the weapons sold in the trading area were ordinary weapons and a small amount of intermediate weapons. There was no sign of advanced weapons. Yu Zhu herself only had advanced weapons and no relevant formulas, so she could not sell them. It was obvious that the game was still in a stage where it was not open to the public and players could not reach it.
Yu Zhu had no plans to change her weapons in the short term. She had guns, arrows, knives, and spears, capable of both long-range and melee combat. Quality of weapons was more important than quantity, and a gun alone was extremely intimidating. However, this did not affect her market research. She browsed through all the weapons in the trading area, and found that the types were indeed complete and varied, but they were all cold weapons. There were no hot weapons, and she had a rough idea of the situation.
Having bought everything he needed, Yu Zhu planned to buy some more daily necessities.
Renxi: Single Wooden Wardrobe (pictured), stores clothes, keeps them dry and dust-free. Get 10 wooden hangers in exchange for 3400g of drinking water, 180 planks, 30 nails, and 20 scraps.
Another player might not even glance at it. They're already wearing clothes, so where can they put them? The raft is big enough, there's always room for them. Why spend over 3,000 yuan on a wardrobe? That's enough for three metal axes.
However, Yu Zhu didn't think so. She clicked on the picture with interest. The clean wooden wardrobe exuded a sense of warmth, and she wanted to buy it just by looking at it.
She now has 2-3 sets of clothes for each season, which are stacked together and inconvenient to use. She just needs a wardrobe like this. The seller also gave her hangers for free. What a great value for money! She decisively placed an order and bought one.
Payment successful√
Yu Zhu continued browsing and bought 2 bedding sets, 5 towels, 3 bath towels, 10 tissues, 20 toilet paper rolls, 5 sanitary napkins (3 for daytime use + 2 for nighttime use), 10 sleeping pants, 5 long shirts and trousers, 3 shorts, 2 sports vests, and 2 underwear.
Yu Zhu is lucky enough not to suffer from dysmenorrhea because of her diligent exercise and strong physique. She also sleeps very comfortably, but this cannot prevent side leakage. Usually the amount is larger in the first two days. She didn't find sleeping pants before, but now that they are available, she bought them immediately to make her sleep more peaceful.
A total of 7,350g of water was spent. The price had increased slightly, which was inevitable. Thinking that she would have to wash clothes and sheets soon, Yu Zhu felt a little weak. She missed the days when she had a washing machine.
It’s not that he can’t afford new clothes, but he can’t be too wasteful. Except for the clothes that were damaged in battle, Yu Zhu reused them and could wear them again after washing.
Thinking of this, she still acted honestly and searched for the word "washing machine". The result was eye-opening. There were actually people selling it!
First of all, let's rule out the solar washing machine. This kind of finished item has no recipe. Unless the player is desperate and the situation is too difficult, he will not consider selling it. It is a kind of item with no demand. Even few people discuss solar power items openly. Good things are hidden and wealth is not revealed. But who would have thought that there is a wooden washing machine!
An Fangbin: Wooden washing machine (pictured), washes clothes to 80% cleanliness, washes 6 kg at a time, pedal-powered, one-touch spin and dry, exchanges for 2950g of water, 5 bolts, 150 planks, 20 pieces of plastic, 30 pieces of debris, and 10 bolts.
Yu Zhu clicked on the picture to confirm that it was not a washing method that required stepping on clothes with feet, and only then did he feel relieved and bought one.
After that, Yu Zhu bought five more stuffed pillows, including a kitten's paw, a big white goose, a small steamed bun, a small star, and a small octopus, plus two long pillows, including a pink dolphin and a big chicken leg, spending a total of 1,500g of food and water.
Different from the common square and round pillows, each pillow has a unique shape, which makes the price not cheap, but Yu Zhu thinks it is worth the money!
Place seven pillows on the sofa. They are very comfortable whether you use them as cushions behind your waist or hold them in your arms. The most important thing is the emotional value that the items bring.
Xinni originally liked big cat paws, and Yu Zhu specially picked out a small cat paw, which really attracted her attention again.
Ever since the kitten's paw appeared, Xinni stared at it intently, wagging her tail vigorously, and then pounced on it.
The kitten's paw is bigger than Xinni's head. It stepped on it with its two small black paws, as if comparing and wondering what kind of animal's paw it was. Then it put its head on it and rubbed it tightly, showing that it loved it very much.
On the other side, Meihua was in a state of panic, punching and kicking the big white goose. First, she used a set of Wing Chun combination punches, and then a set of chicken claw shadowless kicks. With a crackling sound, the big white goose was beaten into the air.
Yu Zhu thought she had brought the doll back to life, but it turned out that Meihua was too fierce. Seeing it fighting so seriously, she didn't want to disturb it, so she picked up the little octopus and pinched its round octopus legs.
Among the many pillows that suddenly appeared on the sofa, the most attractive one was the big chicken drumstick.
Simple Water Purifier No. 1: Why are there such big chicken legs in this world?
Simple grill: Slurp, it must be delicious!
Simple Water Purifier No. 2: It is indeed tempting.
Simple bed: But it seems that it cannot be eaten.
Simple Shed: This is a fake chicken leg.
After walking around the trading area for a while, Yu Zhu had seen enough. She bought products from acquaintances, mainly supporting each other. Seeing that there was nothing else she wanted to buy, she stood up and put everything down.
Walking out of the cabin, he placed the anchor in one corner of the raft, occupying four raft pieces in total, covering a total area of one square meter.
From the shape point of view, it looks like a square well, hollowed out in the middle, with a thick wooden pole on top, wrapped with ropes and a heavy black anchor hanging from it. The operation is similar to lowering a bucket into a well. Turning the handle will cause the anchor to sink slowly until it sinks to the deep seabed. With this fixed anchor, it will be much more convenient to anchor in the future, and there is no need to buy disposable anchors.
The second is the wind direction flag, which is placed near the middle triangular sail and is also very close to the wooden house. The flag is red, bright and eye-catching, and the wind direction can be identified at a glance.
Although Yu Zhu can judge the wind direction by herself, the weather at sea is ever-changing and the wind direction may change at any time. She cannot always pay attention to the changes, so she simply buys a wind direction flag, which is intuitive and convenient.
Back in the cabin, Yu Zhu found a single wardrobe standing at the end of the bed against the wall. He hung up all the clothes neatly and arranged them according to the season. He folded the sheets and pillowcases under the clothes, and put the underwear separately in the two drawers at the bottom, with clear layers.
After doing all this, Yu Zhu took out the much-anticipated washing machine and placed it at the bathroom door.
The structure of the wooden washing machine is clear at a glance. It is divided into three parts: wooden barrel, foot pedal, and plastic water pipe.
The inside of the wooden barrel is uneven, which can increase the friction when washing clothes. There is a fan-shaped plastic chassis at the bottom. Yu Zhu stepped on the pedal with one foot and saw the chassis quickly rotate twice.
She looked at the side of the pedal again. There was a round button. When she clicked the button, a wooden board at the bottom automatically retracted, revealing the bottom plastic pipe opening. The other end was connected to the bathroom drain for drainage.
Yu Zhu: It feels both primitive and intelligent.
The operation is very simple. You just need to keep pressing the pedal to wash clothes. The longer the washing time, the better. This action is really primitive, but the drainage is very convenient. After draining the water, you can press the pedal again to spin the clothes. It is very smart.
The process is definitely more labor-saving and cleaner than washing clothes by hand.
In fact, Yu Zhu felt that it could be done with less effort, and all the solutions were thought of.
She turned her gaze to Xinni who was holding the kitten's paw, and called out in a very gentle tone: "Xinni~"
Xinni shuddered suddenly, but she immediately turned her head and looked at Yu Zhu, responding with a low "howl", her voice hoarse and rough.
Yu Zhu waved his hand: "Come here and help me."
Xinni immediately put down her new love pillow and ran to Yu Zhu happily.
Meihua, who was standing by, had long been tired from playing and was nestling on the big white goose's head. When she heard the noise, she looked over and felt that the scene was somewhat familiar.
Xinni: OvO? What's the matter?
Simple Water Purifier No. 1: I’m helping people count the money after being sold.
Yu Zhu put the clothes to be washed into the bucket, poured in clean rainwater and a bottle cap of laundry detergent, and stepped on the pedal with one foot.
The water in the bucket, carrying the clothes, immediately began to rotate clockwise in a spiral.
It was not difficult at all. Yu Zhu didn't need to explain too much. She just stepped on it twice and put her foot down, and the washing machine stopped.
Seeing this, Xinni didn't hesitate for a moment and stepped on the pedals with her two front paws. She worked very hard, controlling the pedals up and down. Perhaps it was her first time to come into contact with this kind of thing, Xinni looked very curious, and she was having fun by herself.
Seeing the vortex forming in the middle of the washing machine, Yu Zhu nodded in appreciation: "Forelimb training, full marks√"
"Xinni, you are really getting stronger and more capable."
Xinni, who was praised, almost stepped on the pedal to leave an afterimage.
Simple Water Purifier No. 1: Poor thing, the little black cat is not even as tall as the wooden barrel, yet he has to come out to work.
It was hard for Yu Zhu not to see such a long string of bold, black characters. She glanced over and No. 1 immediately withdrew and pretended to be mute.
The other items are so interesting that number 1 seems out of place :)
Meihua decisively abandoned the big white goose and ran to the front row to watch: Xinni, you are so handsome!
Simple grill: So awesome! So cool!
Simple Water Purifier No. 2: Awesome!
Simple water purifier No. 1: I took a 3ml sip of old blood
The already lively cabin became even more cheerful, and Yu Zhu lay back on the sofa and picked up the big chicken leg.
This time, not only the grill wanted to gnaw on it, Yu Zhu also wanted to gnaw on the chicken legs, so he quickly stuffed a few spicy chestnuts into his mouth to satisfy his craving.
11:50 p.m.
Yu Zhu finally got the long-awaited takeaway.
Two wooden plates, one plate of sweet and sour pork, one plate of cold dishes, and a large bowl of white rice.
She took out a bottle of soda, slightly bent her index finger, and with a "pop" sound, she opened the can with one hand. Powerful gas splashed out, which matched the food very well.
Using chopsticks, I picked up a piece of golden and shiny sweet and sour pork, and sprinkled a few pieces of coriander and shredded carrots on the surface for decoration. It looked great, tasted sweet and crispy, the meat was very chewy, and the taste was first-class.
The heat and taste were just right. Yu Zhu ate two pieces in a row and then took a full mouthful of rice. Each grain of rice was plump, sweet, soft and delicious.
The cold dishes on the side are also made with great care, with shredded cucumbers, shredded radishes, and transparent rice noodles, sprinkled with sesame seeds, peanuts, chili peppers and other condiments. They are cool, sour, spicy and refreshing.
No matter how much meat you eat or how delicious it is, you will get tired of it, so you have to pair it with cold dishes. Yu Zhu ate a full six taels of rice, then gulped down a mouthful of soda and let out a long sigh. She hadn't eaten so happily for a long time.
During this period, even the announcement of the rankings failed to divert her attention. The food was simply too delicious. In addition, she had not eaten breakfast and was already hungry. Facts had proved that the wait for this meal was worth it, and the 2kg of water was not wasted.
After Yu Zhu was completely full, she patted her round belly, and her abs were invisible.
There is no way, people die for food, birds die for money (? Not to mention the curved abdominal lines, if they are gone, they are gone.
After eating, Yu Zhu began to feel drowsy. She lay lazily on the sofa. As her consciousness became more and more confused, she always felt as if she had forgotten something.
Did you hear the game prompt sound just now?
Memory recovery√
Yu Zhu suddenly became alert and opened the game panel.
As expected, the chat area exploded, and the screen was refreshed so fast that it was difficult to see clearly even if you looked carefully.
She simply stopped looking and went straight to the ranking page.
Yu Zhu is No. 1 on the Battle Power List
Yu Zhu, No. 1 on the wealth list
Popularity list NO.1 Yu Zhu
There was a glittering light on her head.
