Chapter 14: Top of both lists, here's a little red flower for you, a reward for your excellence...
Player fzy has achieved first place on the survival leaderboard!
Player fzy has won first place on the speedrun leaderboard!
The fact that he topped both leaderboards and was announced across all channels has drawn the attention of many players.
[Big shot!!! I need to befriend you!]
[Hey bro, I need your recognition! I bought your bottled water before! Do you remember me?]
I'm still struggling to survive, while the top players have already easily reached the top. Is the gap between people really that big? (crying)
Amidst the chorus of praise and admiration, one person stood out as an oddity.
[A bunch of idiots! Don't you even think about how he got to the top? He only upgraded to a level 3 raft by selling you water to accumulate resources and sucking your blood.]
It's laughable that you're still praising him here.
Fang Zhiyi looked closely and saw that it was his old acquaintance, Brother Ou Yang, who was speaking.
He remained completely unmoved by Ou Yang's smear campaign against him on the channel.
When arguing online, you shouldn't fall into the trap of trying to prove yourself. The more you explain, the more others will think you're guilty. Otherwise, why would you say so much?
Fang Zhiyi responded easily.
[fzy: You're getting impatient]
[Ouyang: What do you mean I'm getting angry? I'm standing up to expose your true colors so that others won't be fooled.]
[fzy: You're very free]
[Ouyang: What, I'm free? I just can't stand your behavior.]
[fzy: What's your ranking?]
[Ouyang: What business is it of yours which level I'm in?]
[fzy: Just checking in on you. After all, 1ml of water costs 1 piece of wood. You're leeching off others and still ranking so low. If I were you, I'd be too embarrassed to even speak in the channel.]
[fzy: You have such a good attitude]
[Ouyang Ge: ...]
Ou Yangge blushed and was so embarrassed that he couldn't say a word. He then smashed the thing in his hand with a loud "bang".
The cold wind blew and blew at night.
The bearded man and the skinny monkey looked at each other in bewilderment: "Boss, this is our last food."
The fish meat spilled on the ground was charred and greasy, cold and unappetizing, but it was the food that sustained them.
Ou Yang said coldly, "I don't want it, you guys eat it."
The bearded man and the skinny monkey couldn't hide their joy, and they didn't look dirty at all. They picked up the fish and shared it with each other.
Seeing how much they were enjoying their food, Ou Yangge curled his lip and said, "No guts."
Ou Yang closed his eyes, preparing to rest.
The raft was crowded with a campfire, a water purifier, and a rebuilt cannon. There was no place to sleep; people could only lie on the damp, hard raft, and even the taller ones could hardly stretch their legs.
Ouyang was lying by the campfire. He had slept like this last night, but today he was so angry that he couldn't fall asleep. Thinking of Fzy's two-story raft, he lost all sleepiness and sat up abruptly.
"Catch up with fzy".
"I'm taking his raft!"
...
Fang Zhiyi, unaware that someone was eyeing his raft, was lying on his single bed.
After being renovated, the two-story cabin on the raft is comfortable and warm. The four-piece bedding set on the bed smells of sunshine. Lying on it feels like sinking into a cloud, making you never want to move again.
[Rewards have been issued]
Fang Zhiyi himself didn't think he could take first place on both lists.
He opened several treasure chests along the way and collected a lot of materials, so it's no surprise that he took first place on the survival leaderboard. As for the speed rankings... it's probably because he upgraded his raft to level 3 and added a sail that he was able to cover the most sea distances and top the leaderboard.
It's all pure sweat and hard work, without a trace of impurity.
Fang Zhiyi accepted the reward as a matter of course.
First, there's the points reward for the top 10, with a total of 10 survival points awarded.
Fang Zhiyi glanced at the prices of the items in the store: "Really stingy."
The cheapest item in the shop is a seafood platter, costing 8 points. Meanwhile, the firearms require tens or even hundreds of points. Compared to that, his 10 points wouldn't buy him anything of value.
After browsing around, Fang Zhiyi noticed a tip in the shop that survival points could be saved for use in the next world. He decided to save his points for later and exchange them for what he wanted.
After exiting the store, I discovered that he had been given a title.
[Awarded the title "I'm going to be number one!"]
If you're going to do something, do it to the best of your ability; if you're going to win, win first place! Here's a little red flower for your outstanding performance.
[Equipped for active use, it increases your speed, strength, and stamina by 100% for 1 minute. Cooldown time: 24 hours]
nice one.
Fang Zhiyi immediately put on the title.
With a "pop," a bright little red flower appeared on its head. The little red flower swayed left and right, its hands on its hips, looking arrogant and attracting a lot of hatred.
Fang's meaning: ...
Considering the function of titles, I decided to tolerate it.
...
Day three of survival.
The weather forecast says it won't rain; it will be a sunny day.
It looks like a nice day, but this is a survival game.
It rained all day yesterday, and today the sun is blazing, with the temperature soaring to 40°C and still rising.
As soon as Fang Zhiyi stepped outside, she was covered in sweat from the sun, and the little red flower on her head wilted.
At the same time, the negative effects of [heat] and [heatstroke] arrived as expected.
Fang Zhiyi drank water as he lowered the sail under the blazing sun, preparing to set sail. Just as he gripped the rudder, before he could even adjust the course, a burnt smell wafted from behind him. Looking towards the source of the odor, he saw a wisp of smoke rising slowly.
It was so hot that the campfire spontaneously combusted.
The fire was raging and quickly leaped up, its flames licking the second-floor platform and instantly triggering a chain reaction.
Thick smoke billowed and sparks flew, threatening to spread to other areas.
The rafts are all made of wood; if they catch fire, they're finished!
Fang Zhiyi decisively threw down the rudder, grabbed a mineral water bottle, and splashed it on the surface.
Sizzle—
A piercing sound was produced where the water and fire met.
"Cough cough!"
Fang Zhiyi coughed from the thick smoke, but he didn't dare stop. He poured bucket after bucket of seawater down the fire and finally extinguished it.
As the thick smoke dissipated, the raft was a mess. The campfire had burned down to nothing but wood chips, the second-floor platform was charred black, and the ground was dotted with fire marks.
Fortunately, the fire was extinguished in time, preventing greater damage.
Fang Zhiyi tidied things up briefly, and to avoid another fire, he didn't even dare to remake the campfire.
The power of extreme weather should not be underestimated.
Along the way, Shangfang acted as a firefighter several times. Fortunately, there was no shortage of water at sea, but we had to be on tenterhooks, and the raft kept stopping and starting, which increased the travel time by half again.
By the time he arrived at the shipwreck area, he was already late.
Under the blazing sun, the wreckage of the sunken ship floated on the waves, with whirlpools faintly visible.
Fang Zhiyi shielded his eyes with his hand and peered out.
quack!
A loud bird call came from overhead.
A shadow fell, and looking up, a blue and yellow parrot flew overhead and landed on a raft not far away.
