Jiang An opened the trading channel, and as she expected, there were many materials for upgrading rafts and rainproof tools for sale, but the inventory was rapidly decreasing and the prices were gradually rising.
However, she didn't pay much attention to these, but instead turned her attention to the types of goods.
After all, dozens of players had just returned from the island, and they were likely to have brought back some rare items.
Soon, Jiang An found some of the items she needed: energy stones!
This is good stuff!
Although the energy stone can only be used to make refrigerators at this stage, Jiang An firmly believes that it will have a greater use in the future.
She obtained a total of 19 energy stones while opening stone chests on the island. She used one to make a refrigerator, and now she has 18 left.
However, these quantities are clearly far from enough if you want to list refrigerators on the trading channel.
Therefore, Jiang An used 20 iron blocks to exchange for an energy stone.
Next, she carefully selected items in the trading channel and finally traded 15 kilograms of insect meat for a capacity stone, 10 rice seeds, and 6 corn seeds.
In addition, she also traded some daily necessities on a small scale.
As night fell, Jiang An felt sleepiness creeping in.
Ignoring the increasingly strong winds and rain outside, she climbed into bed and drifted off into a sweet dream.
... ...
Day 6 of the sea survival game, 8:30 AM, Weather: Heavy rain.
Large raindrops pelted down, splashing up droplets, and the world was shrouded in a silvery-gray rain curtain.
Jiang An stood by the window, quietly watching the rain outside.
She recalled her guess before going to sleep; she felt the rain might continue, and she was right.
The rain started in the early morning and has continued until now without stopping.
Raindrops pattered against the window, making a crisp sound.
The whole world seemed to be submerged by the rain, a gray and gloomy scene.
The temperature seemed to have dropped considerably, and Jiang An, standing at the door in a thin nightgown, already felt a slight chill.
She shivered, thinking, "This can't go on!"
She had a peculiar feeling, as if it were reminding her that she should collect some warm clothes to ward off the cold.
However, it's not too late.
Jiang An took a deep breath, turned around and left the bedroom.
She went to the washroom and washed her face and hands with cold water.
The cold water made her frown, but it also invigorated her.
Then, she picked up her toothbrush and began to brush her teeth carefully.
After washing up, Jiang An returned to her room.
She quickly took off her pajamas, changed into a clean and tidy set of clothes, and then put on a thick coat over them.
This made her feel much warmer.
After tidying up their clothes,
Then, she opened the cabinet.
Sure enough, she found an umbrella and a raincoat in the closet.
She picked up the umbrella and tried to open it; it was fine, the umbrella was large.
Outside the door, Jiang An opened her umbrella and went into the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Jiang An began preparing breakfast.
Although she had eaten a late-night snack in the early hours of the morning, she still felt a little hungry.
So she decided to make some simple breakfast to fill her stomach.
I took two wild eggs out of the refrigerator, cracked them into the pot, and gently turned them over to ensure they were heated evenly.
In no time, the golden-yellow fried eggs were ready.
[Fried Egg: Deliciousness +2]
[Cooking Master Level 1: 64/100]
Jiang An glanced at the numbers on the screen but didn't pay much attention to them.
She has now learned to take these numbers in stride, because they are so few that they don't have much practical significance for her.
However, she guessed that only when the cheat system was upgraded to level two might some truly useful changes occur.
As for the specifics of the changes, she cannot predict them yet.
But one thing is certain: this change will bring her more surprises and opportunities.
Otherwise, this cheat code would be too useless.
Then, she took out a bottle of milk and a tomato and placed them on the table.
This simple yet nutritious breakfast is now ready.
Jiang An didn't go back to the living room, but ate directly in the kitchen.
The fried egg itself had no flavor, so she added some sweet bean sauce.
I ate while watching the local news channel. Sure enough, it was full of all sorts of information, but it was all about the sudden downpour.
Many players' rafts are only level 2. A level 2 raft is only 6 square meters.
Upgrading a raft to level three requires 15 units of iron alone.
Iron blocks are rarely found when opening chests; most of the iron appearing in the trading channels is crafted by players themselves using iron nails at a crafting table.
"The treasure chest is coming soon, how are we going to get it?" someone asked anxiously.
“Yeah, what should we do?” another person chimed in.
"What else can we do but go to sea? That's the only way to get supplies," a voice said firmly.
"You make it sound nice, but my raft is still only level 2, tossed around on the sea by the sea breeze. I'm starting to doubt whether the treasure chest will ever float to my raft."
"Me too, my raft is rocking so badly, there's no way anyone can stand on it."
"What if we go out to sea and a strong wind blows us away from the raft?"
"We can't just wait to die, it's better than having no hope at all."
"You're so stupid. That's what Boss He said before: tie yourself to the raft with a rope so you can get back to the raft from anywhere."
"But going into the sea is too dangerous. What if we encounter sharks or other monsters?"
"There's no other way. Fortune favors the bold. If you don't take the risks, you'll just starve or die of thirst."
Everyone was silent for a while, seemingly considering whether or not to risk going into the sea.
Once the raft is upgraded to level 3, those with supplies shouldn't rush. Missing a chest once or twice won't be a problem.
Players lacking resources were extremely anxious, as they were waiting for this wave of treasure chests to replenish their inventory and upgrade their rafts.
Finally, a player broke the silence, saying in the regional chat: "Let's give it a try. We're going to die anyway, so we might as well take a gamble."
Others expressed their agreement.
So, everyone started preparing to go into the sea to retrieve the treasure chest.
Some players took out ropes and hooks, while others prepared weapons just in case.
Jiang An took off her shoes and put on a blindfold.
Waiting for the treasure chest to arrive in the kitchen.
