Jiang An climbed onto the raft, panting heavily.
At that moment, she just wanted to lie down.
But now was not the time. I went back inside and poured myself a glass of hot water.
Sitting on the kang (heated brick bed), a cup of water made her feel much better. It was Jiang An's happiest moment yet: the unboxing.
[Island Lord's Order, Energy Stones*3, Cookies 200g]
[Island Owner's Order: Upon use, you will be randomly transported to a small island and have 48 hours to collect resources on that island! (Real-world time remains unchanged!)]
"Wow!" Jiang An hadn't expected to receive an Island Lord's Token.
Looking at the island lord's token in his hand, it was significantly more valuable than the previous island landing token.
There is no doubt that the island has abundant resources.
With this trip to the island, her backpack can now be filled with even more items.
At the same time, she also learned that the island lord's token could be exchanged.
But Jiang An photoshopped it out without a second thought. How could she bear to exchange it when she could obtain a large amount of supplies?
Although it may be fraught with danger, she has no choice but to stand firm.
The severe cold weather brought about significant changes; the most basic wooden crates disappeared, and so did the source of the wood.
No players have obtained any wood blocks anymore; only some players have stored wood blocks or wood blocks that have been chopped down on the island.
As temperatures drop, Jiang An believes that the price of wood blocks will continue to rise before long.
Although the game store has a unified pricing system, it cannot stop shop owners from not selling or from conducting private transactions.
Jiang An secretly resolved to cut down as many trees as possible on the island to collect basic materials.
There's no shortage of meat now, so there's no need to fight animals for it. What players lack now are basic materials: materials for upgrading rafts and wood blocks for heating.
If these supplies can be sold in large quantities, Jiang An's profits will be enormous.
Her small restaurant was closed for lunch today, a rare occurrence.
What she needs to do now is eat and drink her fill, and conserve her energy to go to the island to collect resources.
Jiang An opened the trading channel with ease and was surprised to find that the number of shops that were originally only a handful had now sprung up like mushrooms after rain, rapidly increasing from a mere hundred to nearly two hundred!
Curious, she looked up the names of some shops and found that they all contained words like "helper" or "alliance".
Jiang An was puzzled, so he opened the regional channel to find the answer.
Through conversation, it was learned that these newly opened shops were actually operated by gangs or organizations, consisting of anywhere from a few to a dozen or even dozens of players.
Having understood the reason, Jiang Anxin thought, "Oh, I see."
She doesn't have time to study these things right now; she just wants a basic understanding.
Next, she focused her attention on the issue of the Island Lord's Decree. After looking around, Jiang An was surprised to find that there was no news about the Island Lord's Decree in the regional channel.
So Jiang An sent a message anonymously.
As expected, this sparked heated discussions among players.
But no player said they got it.
After thinking for a moment, Jiang An sent a private message to He Zhizhou and several other friends who were likely to receive the Island Lord's Token.
Then he returned to the trading channel.
She went to a shop she was quite familiar with and bought five iron axes, intending to use them to cut down trees.
The shop owner was a regular customer of hers, who often patronized her shop to buy food. Therefore, Jiang An decided to prioritize this shop to support her acquaintance.
She then went to another shop and selected and bought two medicine hoes and other necessary items.
After finishing her shopping, Jiang An carefully organized all the items to ensure everything was in good order.
Finally, she began to carefully check her food reserves.
Although this trip to the island was different from previous ones, while the real time remained unchanged, time on the island continued to pass according to its normal rhythm.
Jiang An understood that in this environment, she would also feel hungry and need to eat and drink to maintain her vital signs.
First, there's the fast food. I initially made over 100 large steamed buns, but after these few days of consumption and exchanging with acquaintances, I still have 96 left.
Two days' worth of food is enough.
Jiang An wasn't sure if the light screen still worked, so she found her insulated box, took the buns from the store, and put them inside. Finally, she put them in her backpack.
Jiang An collected a lot of water, water with properties, and stored it all in his backpack, but most of it was cold.
The thought of drinking room temperature water in this weather made her gums chatter.
After thinking it over, Jiang An finally decided to bring two kettles of hot water.
Anyway, my backpack can hold this much stuff now.
Jiang An's backpack now has 21 compartments.
As for basic materials such as wood blocks and iron blocks, there were simply too many of them, and her raft had limited space, making it impossible to accommodate so many items.
Left with no other choice, she put these things in her backpack and took them to the island.
As time passed, Jiang An's stomach began to rumble, indicating that it needed food to replenish its energy.
Only then did she realize that it was lunchtime.
