"Don't touch this pine cone for now; it will be very useful." After saying this, Li Changge put the pine cone back into the wooden bucket.

The wooden bucket on the new hook will serve as a temporary container.

Li Changge checked his haul for the day:

[Obtain 5 pieces of wood]

[Obtain 5 sisal]

[Obtain Nylon Rope x1]

[Obtained Epic Item: Super Seawater Purifier]

[Obtain 2 Hard Metal Sheets]

[Obtained Excellent-grade item: Hunter's Fishhook blueprint]

[Obtained Rare Item: Ocean Pine Cone]

"At first glance, I feel that today's harvest is not bad, but it seems that none of them can be manufactured," Li Changge said thoughtfully, stroking his chin.

"I only need three more hard metal pieces to make the hunter's hook, but the sun is almost setting, so I can't make it tonight. I'll have to wait until tomorrow," Li Changge said helplessly.

but……

Will he make it through tonight?

"Ding! Ding! Ding!"

Suddenly, the chat channel interface popped up, and there was a friend request in it.

Li Changge was very puzzled and moved over to take a look.

Friend's note: Hey bro, I'm here to make a trade.

Upon seeing the note, Li Changge quickly agreed and sent him a video call.

"Hello, my name is Li Changge." Li Changge said with a smile as the connection was established.

"Stop talking nonsense. I want your bread and mineral water, and I'll give you five hard metal plates and three pieces of wood in return."

The man in the picture has a thick beard, sounds young, and has an uneasy expression on his face, as if he has just encountered something terrifying.

"good."

Without wasting words, Li Changge opened the trade window and put in the unfinished bottled water and a piece of bread.

A few seconds later, the trading window emitted a bright light, and five hard metal pieces and three pieces of wood appeared on Li Changge's raft.

"The trade window in the chat channel is really useful," Li Changge said happily, holding the remaining items needed to craft the Hunter's Hook.

"I need to eat quickly, the sharks are coming, I'm doomed." The bearded man who was trading with Li Changge was wolfing down his food, afraid that someone would steal it from him.

"What is he afraid of?" Li Changge was very curious when he saw that the bearded man had forgotten to turn off the video.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Huge waves suddenly rose around the bearded man, crashing against his raft.

His raft was like a lone boat on a deep sea, at risk of capsizing at any moment.

"I'm going to die, I'm going to die!" the bearded man said in terror as he stuffed bread into his mouth.

"The shark is coming! I'm doomed! This damn game!" The bearded man cried and stuffed the rest of the bread into his mouth.

Around his raft, at least three sharks were lurking, their fins gleaming with deadly ferocity in the darkness.

They seemed to be waiting, waiting for the moment when the bearded man's psychological defenses would completely collapse.

"Aaaaah! You damn sharks, get out of here!" The bearded man shouted defiantly at the sharks, holding a mineral water bottle and a broken fishhook in his hand.

The bearded man had disheveled hair, bloodshot eyes, and trembling lips.

"This guy's gone mad," Li Changge said regretfully, shaking his head.

The bearded man's threats were ineffective; instead, the aroma of the bread attracted more and more sharks.

In an instant, more than six sharks gathered around the bearded man's raft.

"I'm finished, and you won't get away with this either. I'll fight you bastards to the death!" he said in despair before jumping into the sea.

"ah!"

A bloodcurdling scream rang out, and then the area around the bearded man's raft was stained red with blood.

Li Changge turned off the video call; his mood was very heavy.

The bearded man's fate was obvious; jumping into the sea usually didn't end well, and his body was probably already torn apart and eaten by the sharks by now.

"Will his fate be my fate? Or the fate of all the players in this survival game?" Li Changge dared not think about it, and was filled with great fear.

He sat quietly on the raft, gazing at the sea. The setting sun shone on the calm sea, and everything looked like a beautiful painting.

But Li Changge knew that this was only a facade of calm.

The ocean is home to many unknown and dangerous creatures; one wrong move and you could meet a gruesome end.

Terrifying!

"No! My ending will never be like this. I have a system. I am the chosen one. Maybe with the help of the system, I will be able to survive."

"No! I don't just want to survive, I want to become the overlord of this ocean," Li Changge murmured, his eyes filled with ambition.

"But first, I still have to survive this night."

...

[Excellent Grade Item: Hunter's Fishhook]

Materials needed: 1/1 nylon rope, 5/5 hard metal sheet, 8/5 wood

"The materials are all ready."

Li Changge took out the building house, and with a thought, the building house quickly grew from the size of a palm to the height of a person.

Li Changge looked at the gate of the building; it was pitch black inside, and he felt that it was unfathomable.

"This system is really something else; it can even get its hands on something like this."

After sighing, Li Changge put in all the materials needed to make the hunter's fishhook.

A few seconds later.

bite!

The red light above the building turned green, and then a palm-sized blue fishhook appeared in his hand.

Hunter's Fishhook

[An excellent-grade item. It might be useful in dangerous situations, and when you actively hunt, you might find some incredible items. It's your most loyal companion.]

It can be used for both offense and defense.

This is the most important thing in Li Changge's possession besides his fishing rod.

"Whether I can get through tonight safely depends on you." Li Changge gripped the fishing hook tightly.

With three pieces of wood remaining, Li Changge used one to craft a standard-grade construction hammer.

Construction hammer

[Common-grade item, sole purpose: to construct infrastructure, such as wooden fences and reinforced rafts, and can also expand rafts.]

In other words, the purpose of the construction hammer is to upgrade the raft.

“I remember the mechanical voice saying that upgrading the raft is the most important thing. It seems that this construction hammer will be very useful.” Li Changge held a fishhook in his left hand and a wooden hammer in his right.

"Ding, main quest activated: Expand the raft, which will increase the survival probability of survivors. Please upgrade to level 2 raft within three days."

"Mission completion reward: ???"

"It seems that the raft is the lifeline for the survivors."

Upon learning that the mechanical voice's words matched the task issued by the system, Li Changge made a decisive decision.

The raft must be expanded!

Li Changge put the fishhook in his pocket, picked up the construction hammer, and walked to the front of the raft.

"Let's start expanding the raft here!"
