Jiang Zifeng: "I haven't been able to do anything during this time, so I've just been looking at the chat channel. I saw someone say that they got an energy potion from opening a chest, but only a small number of people have gotten it."

Luo Xinglan understood. So that's how it is. She had turned off the chat channel because it was too noisy, and that's why she missed such important information. It seems she still needs to check it from time to time.

Jiang Zifeng quickly sent another message: "Luo Xinglan, I will remember your kindness. Consider these two bottles of energy potion as a loan to you, and I will definitely repay you in the future!"

Luo Xinglan: "No need, didn't you also give me a lot of supplies? We're even."

She's just not used to owing favors to people.

Jiang Zifeng didn't say anything more, but he silently kept it in mind.

Luo Xinglan opened the chat channel, where everyone was having a lively discussion:

"I need an energy potion! Does anyone have an energy potion? Could you please give me one?"

"I have several bottles of stamina potions, want some? Trade me some supplies!"

"Holy crap, guess what I got from that chest? A [Medium Energy Potion]! It restores 40 energy points at once!"

"Does the boss need any underlings?"

"Look at me, boss! I can sing and dance, all I need is a potion of energy!"

"Hey, I also got [Energy Potion x2]!"

...

Luo Xinglan glanced at the scene and saw that more and more survivors were opening stamina potions, and even intermediate stamina potions were starting to drop. It seemed that the drop rate of stamina potions had increased.

After all, energy is consumed too quickly. If the drop rate of energy potions is too low, the game difficulty will be unbalanced, and a large number of survivors may not even make it past the first day.

Forget about them for now, she needs to tidy up the raft first.

I was so focused on fishing for chests that I didn't have time to organize the supplies. Now the raft is littered with supplies, and it's giving me a headache.

Luo Xinglan took out the backpack expansion card, and the information automatically popped up:

[Backpack Expansion Card: This card expands your backpack by 5 slots. Use now?]

"yes!"

The next moment, Luo Xinglan's backpack had 15 compartments.

She felt a little hungry and took out a bag of French bread rolls.

[French mini bread: Soft and fluffy bread; eating it restores 10 satiety points and 10 stamina points. Shelf life: 5 days.]

Food has an expiration date, right?

Alas, her dream of stockpiling goods has been shattered.

The bread rolls were only the size of a fist. Luo Xinglan ate two in one go and drank a bottle of mineral water. Now, her satiety, strength, and energy were all at their peak.

She went to the box, intending to organize the supplies.

Disassembling the wooden crate will yield 2 pieces of wood. Disassemble now?

Wooden crates can be disassembled, right?

Luo Xinglan thought for a moment and decided not to dismantle them for the time being. Although the backpack had been expanded to 15 slots, it was still far from enough. She decided to keep these boxes as storage cabinets.

She sorted the supplies into categories and arranged the boxes neatly. The raft finally looked much better, but it was too small, with barely any room to step.

It seems we need to expand the raft first.

She lightly touched the air and discovered that expanding the raft by one square meter required 10 pieces of wood, one iron nail, and one screw.

Her current supplies are as follows:

Food: [Steamed Cake x5], [Mineral Water x13], [Instant Noodles x2], [A Bunch of Bananas], [French Mini Buns x6], [Apples x2], [Wahaha Haha x5]

Miscellaneous Items: [Precious Round Fruit x1], [Energy Potion x8], [Wood x35], [Iron Nails x3], [Screws x4], [Earthworms x2], [Long-staple Cotton 50 jin], [Long-staple Cotton Seeds x5], [Fertilizer x2]

Blueprints: [Straw Mat Blueprint] [Smelting Furnace Blueprint]

Luo Xinglan expanded her raft by 3 square meters in one go, and now her raft is 7 square meters, about the size of a small bedroom.

It was just that there was an extra piece on the originally square raft, and her obsessive-compulsive disorder kicked in; it just didn't look right to her.

Or... how about we expand by another 1 square meter?

Luo Xinglan was a woman of action, and immediately sent a message in the channel.

Luo Xinglan: "We're collecting wood, nails, and screws! One bottle of mineral water can be exchanged for 20 pieces of wood or 2 nails/screws! One French mini bread can be exchanged for 30 pieces of wood or 3 nails/screws!"

"What? While I'm still basking in the glory of finding two steamed buns, others are already luxurious enough to barter for supplies with bread?"

"I'm so thirsty, Sister Xinglan, could you give me a bottle of mineral water?"

"Food and water are scarce resources right now, and Luo Xinglan is actually trying to trade them for wood? Is she crazy?"

"But exchanging a bottle of mineral water for 20 pieces of wood? That's outrageous!"

...

Luo Xinglan waited for someone to come to her.

[Received a gift from survivor Jiang Zifeng, obtaining 20 pieces of wood and 3 iron nails!]

Soon, Jiang Zifeng sent a message: "Luo Xinglan, these are all for you."

Luo Xinglan asked, "Would you like bottled water or a small bread roll?"

Jiang Zifeng: "I don't want your things. This wood isn't hard to obtain. Take it if you want."

He always remembered that Luo Xinglan had helped him when he was in trouble.

Luo Xinglan thought for a moment and asked, "You've given me everything, so what about yourself? Aren't you going to expand the raft?"

Jiang Zifeng: "My raft has been expanded to 10 square meters, which is enough space for now, and I don't have any more screws."

Luo Xinglan: "!!!"

Jiang Zifeng has actually expanded to 10 square meters?

It seems she has to work harder!

Luo Xinglan: "Okay, I'll accept these things. Come find me if you need food or water."

Jiang Zifeng chuckled: "Really, there's no need. I have plenty of food, I obtained a blueprint for a seawater purifier and made one, and I also have plenty of water!"

Seawater purifier?

It looks like a water pump, and it has a long pipe.

Luo Xinglan clicked on it, and the message appeared:

Seawater purifier: Can purify seawater into drinkable freshwater.

"!!!"

Jiang Zifeng is incredibly lucky!

Luo Xinglan: "Jiang Zifeng, I need your help with something. If you get any more blueprints for a seawater purifier, could you please consider exchanging them with me first?"

Jiang Zifeng: "Okay, no problem."

Then more private messages came in, but Luo Xinglan didn't reply anymore.

She clicked on the chat box named "Jiang Mingze".

Jiang Mingze: "Luo Xinglan, I'm out of wood, nails, and screws. Can I trade you my sun-protective clothing for a bottle of mineral water?"
