There are always a few male creatures in the world who are very ordinary in every way but inexplicably quite confident.
Qianyue chuckled twice, pushed off with a bamboo pole, and walked away.
"Hello?!"
The man seemed to be in disbelief that she had actually left like that, and he even chased her a few steps in an attempt to hold onto the raft.
Qianyue immediately got angry: "It's not over yet, right?"
She poked it with her rod, and it fell into the sea with a "splash", and the world was completely quiet.
on the island.
Qianyue put away the bamboo raft, sat cross-legged on the ground and began to check the status of her character.
Although she won the farce just now, Qianyue was no longer happy when she saw that there was less than half a bar of physical strength left on the character attribute page.
Her current character status page is as follows:
Name: Qianyue
Position: Beggar
Level: 3
Health: 120/130
Stamina: 48/125
Spirit value: 60/105
Qianyue is in such a state, so you can imagine how bleak the data of others will be.
She couldn't help but sigh: "So why do we have to fight? I don't want to fight either. Sigh..."
Qianyue said as she took out the black bread with great pain.
She had originally planned to make a living from the sea, so the amount of black bread she prepared was not much, and the one she won from the lottery only made up six portions.
However, even if she finished eating all six pieces of black bread, her physical strength only returned to 108, which was still some distance from the full value.
“…” He was inexplicably angry.
Qianyue didn't care since her health didn't drop much, but she was a little surprised by the speed at which her spirit value dropped.
In the first two copies, because Qianyue was either lying in the house or preparing to lie down all day, the consumption of mental value was almost negligible.
Compared to other players who constantly worry about whether they will go crazy due to lack of inhibitors, the large number of inhibitors in Qianyue's bag are always piled with dust.
I didn't expect it to be consumed so quickly this time.
"Did the data get changed?"
Qianyue recalled and didn't seem to see similar news in the patch announcement.
She pondered for a moment, then stood up and walked to the reed field: "Then there is only one possibility left—"
Qianyue was busy making a bamboo raft and did not collect all the supplies before leaving the island. Now, it seems that 50% of the reed field can still be collected.
Ten seconds later, the skill reading ended, the reeds entered their growth period, and Qianyue had twenty more reeds in her hands.
"The spirit value has dropped by thirteen points."
Qianyue returned to the bamboo forest and, after using her skills twice, she collected ten pieces of bamboo. The bamboo forest also began its growth countdown.
——It is worth mentioning that in order to confuse players, the growth process of these plants, including the newly discovered coconut tree, will not be reflected in the changes in appearance.
In other words, whether these plants are in the mature stage or the growing stage, or are mature but half picked, their appearance will not change.
That's why when we were just collecting coconuts, some people saw coconuts in the grove but failed to collect them.
Qianyue muttered, "What a pity, I don't have the chance to dig bamboo shoots to eat."
She checked her mental level again and found that it had dropped another twenty points.
Qianyue guessed: "So after using the gathering skill, the spirit value will decrease randomly?"
After realizing this, Qianyue's heart skipped a beat. She had originally thought that psychotropic drugs were not important, so she did not buy more.
Fortunately, she got three more from the airdrop, otherwise it might not be enough in this copy.
"It seems that I still need to prepare various items in the future." Qianyue silently kept it in mind.
After replenishing her status with two bottles of mental suppressants, she took inventory of the supplies she currently had.
The current supplies in Qianyue's backpack are as follows:
Secret food x3, Isatis root x12, anti-inflammatory medicine x8, mental suppressant x6, blueprint x4, hairy coconut x4, bamboo raft x1, bamboo x11, reed x20, flint x1, seasoning x2, bucket x1, knife x1, and cotton mask x5.
Among them, the bucket, the knife and the five extra cotton masks were obtained by Qianyue in the previous round of dungeons.
According to the rules, they will automatically disappear after this round of copies ends.
Qianyue murmured to herself: "The bucket and knife are very useful. I can buy more next time."
It's a cotton mask...
When Qianyue first bought the masks, she had no idea she would actually be able to make one. So, to be on the safe side, she invested heavily.
After the gas masks were available in the last few days, the masks were naturally put aside. Qianyue knew there were some left, but she didn't expect there were so many left.
"There's no use carrying so many masks in this dungeon, and it would be a waste to throw them away."
Qianyue paused, she suddenly remembered that Yu Chengyi seemed to have mentioned to her before that in addition to buying props from Duobao Merchant, it seemed that she could also sell props that she didn't need anymore.
But the purchase price from the other party will definitely be cheaper than the price she bought it at before.
"It's better than nothing. At least I can get some money back."
Ever since the item retention rules were updated, Qianyue became keenly aware that her previous method of stockpiling would probably no longer work.
No matter how much inventory you have, you'll only need two instances. It's better to exchange all the items you don't need for money and buy more before the next instance begins.
Ultimately, money is hard currency.
But then again, whether to save more or less money is a matter for the future. At present, Qianyue still has two very important things to consider -
1. What to eat?
2.Where do you live?
Every time he arrives at a copy, he builds a "room" first. This has basically become Qianyue's habit.
It just so happened that her island was planted with reeds and bamboo, both of which could be used to build houses, so Qianyue was not particularly anxious.
However, the raw materials are not enough at the moment, so she has to wait for them to mature twice and collect more materials.
As for food...
Qianyue was holding a hairy coconut and began to feel troubled.
According to the previous dungeon settings, this kind of fruit or broth, if not seasoned, can only restore 1 point of physical strength -
How do you add seasoning to coconut milk? Should you add sugar? But the seasoning is mixed in a small bottle, and she can't really pick out the sugar, right?
“…Forget it, let’s open it and try it first.”
There were no other tools around, so Qianyue could only hold the coconut and walk to the only big rock on the island and smash it hard.
"Click"
After a moment, the coconut cracked open and she got an edible portion.
Coconut (Edible): A crop grown on the island, it has a special effect. It restores 5 points of health.
Seeing the "5" dot, Qianyue breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's more like it."
Qianyue hesitated for a moment, then she tried adding some seasoning, and the final value actually became 15.
“…” Qianyue’s expression suddenly became extremely subtle.
She tried it and couldn't describe what it tasted like, but it was surprisingly good.
"But that alone is not enough."
Qianyue's own island does not produce food. Even if she stays on the uninhabited island every day, these coconuts are probably not enough to eat, not to mention that there are other players to share.
She thought about it, used a knife to split the only remaining bamboo and cut it into strips, and then used the strips to weave two rough baskets.
This time, there was no prompt sound in my ears. I guess other players had already made this item.
Qianyue didn't care. She tied a few reeds into a rope, hung the bamboo basket around her waist, and went straight into the water.
She planned to catch some fish and shrimp.
Although the entire island is only ten square meters in size, that actually only refers to the part that is exposed above the water.
Just as there is a continental shelf between the continent and the ocean, there are also such shallows where islands and waters meet.
The water in this shallow area is usually only up to a person's thigh, but one must be very careful when walking because a pair of large claws may extend from under the rocks at the bottom of the water at any time.
“Ouch!”
A sudden scream was heard nearby. Qianyue subconsciously turned her head to take a look and found that someone was caught by a crab while trying to fish.
"Oh shit, oh shit, why does it hurt so much! I'm bleeding!"
The man crawled back to his island, looking very embarrassed.
Although the crab is only the size of a palm, its claws are no joke.
Qianyue lowered her eyes and thought to herself, "If it bleeds and gets wet, it's likely to get inflamed."
Sure enough, not long after, the man started shouting at the top of his lungs, "Does anyone have anti-inflammatory drugs and bandages? I'll trade them!"
Someone responded: "I have it, what do I want to exchange it for?"
The man was about to cry: "Anything, as long as I have it, it's fine!"
He didn't pay attention to the patch announcement when he entered the dungeon and accidentally stockpiled the wrong things. Now he has no medicine left.
At this moment, he was suffering from the two negative states of [Inflammation] and [Bleeding], and his health points were dropping rapidly.
The other party chuckled and said, "Okay, three bottles of inhibitors."
Oh shit!
This person is obviously asking for an exorbitant price!
The injured man was about to explode, but when he thought about his own situation, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and agree.
The other party was overjoyed: "Wait, I'll bring it to you." After saying that, the man dived into the water, very happy.
There were a few people around who were also slacking off, but after seeing what was happening to them, they became a little hesitant.
"Forget it, the water is too dangerous. Let's go ashore and think of other options."
"I don't have anything to eat on shore. I'm so worried..."
"I quit. I've been fishing for a long time and haven't gotten anything. There's only a little bit of meat, not even enough to fill my teeth."
The man who spoke last walked towards the shore with an angry look on his face, but he suddenly slipped and fell into the water with a "bang", losing even the last bit of his gains.
"Damn! This dungeon is too difficult! I won't starve to death tomorrow, will I?"
Hearing this, Qianyue couldn't help but glance down at the bamboo basket at her waist. It was filled with crabs, conchs, and shells, almost full.
She couldn't help but feel a little confused.
Is it... difficult?
When Qianyue first arrived at Kujukushima, she didn't know how to go to the beach, and was even quite scared. After all, she had been raised in a greenhouse and had never even played in the mud, let alone turned over crabs in it.
But she was incredibly adaptable and a quick learner, and before long she was a well-known fish and shrimp killer among the local children.
For a long time, she and Qian Chi made a living by relying on this skill.
However, I don’t know if there is a refresh limit in the game, but Qianyue quickly explored the shallows near the island.
"There's not even enough to cook two pots..."
She thought about it, threw all the things into the bucket, and then took out the bamboo raft again.
She paddled the bamboo raft towards the other islands, shouting:
"I want to discuss something with you, your food——"
Before she finished speaking, the expressions of several people on the island suddenly changed.
The next second, they quickly took something out of their bags and presented it with both hands, their movements were in perfect unison!
"Here are some apples for you to take!"
"This bunch of bananas is a gift from my younger brother to you!"
“This one…”
The last person was stuck and felt like crying but had no tears. There was no food produced on his island!
He paused for a second, then reluctantly took out a piece of black bread from his bag and handed it tremblingly in Qianyue's direction.
"Take this portion of black bread, and I'll figure it out myself."
Qianyue: “…”
She just wanted to ask those who had given up on fishing if they were still going to catch some fish. She wanted to borrow some land!
After hearing Qianyue's reason, those people immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Qianyue: "We'll split the fish and shrimp we catch 80% and 20% for you. But you have to prepare your own containers."
Most of these people had been beaten by Qianyue before.
When I saw her coming over, I thought she wanted to rob it by force, but I didn't expect Qianyue to take the initiative to offer to give them a share as the venue rental fee.
Someone immediately suggested that Qianyue use it as she pleased.
"I'm not good at slacking off or messing around. I might as well go somewhere else before it gets dark."
The first three days of the copy are the system protection period. Except for the island owner himself, no one else can collect materials on the island. Therefore, the other party is not afraid of someone stealing the materials and plans to try his luck somewhere else.
But some people are not very happy about it.
The resources are there, even if you don't use them, but at least they are yours. If you give them to others, you will lose 80% of them in an instant!
"I……"
Qianyue turned around and looked at him when she heard the voice.
She really just turned her head, but she didn't expect the other party to suddenly shudder as if frightened by something.
“I think it’s great!”
Qianyue: "...Thank you, but next time you can speak a little less loudly. My ears are still pretty good."
The man's face flushed instantly, but only he knew the specific reason.
Qianyue turned around to look at the last person.
other side:"……"
The last person was a girl with an unfamiliar face. Although she had not participated in the first round of the uninhabited island snatching, she still remembered Qianyue’s performance very clearly.
So she agreed without hesitation.
Qianyue: "Thank you."
Perhaps a little surprised that Qianyue was so easy to talk to, the girl paused, then mustered up the courage to ask, "Um, my name is Xu Xiaogu... Can I ask you a question?"
Qianyue: “Hmm?”
Xu Xiaogu: "Do you know how to use this thing?"
Qianyue glanced at him and found that the other party was referring to the Big Ghost Lotus.
She actually knew this.
However, Qianyue did not answer immediately, but asked: "I will tell you the purpose, what will you give me?"
Xu Xiaogu thought for a moment and said, "If you tell me what they are for, I won't accept your fish and shrimp."
Qianyue added another condition: "Give me another one of these."
Compared with the lotus leaves we see in daily life, that lotus leaf looked really strange. The edges were all upright and turned inward, like a frying pan, and its diameter was almost as wide as Qianyue's bamboo raft.
Xu Xiaogu always felt that since this thing appeared, it must be useful - Qianyue's reaction just now made her even more convinced.
"I can give it to you now." Xu Xiaogu immediately took out a big ghost lotus from his backpack and handed it to her.
Qianyue was about to reach out to take it, but at this moment, someone next to her suddenly shouted: "Miss, you are too naive. Just give it to her like this? Be careful of being cheated!"
Qianyue turned around when she heard the voice and frowned immediately.
Why is it this greasy bald man again?
After kicking him away, Qianyue hadn't paid any attention to him since then. It turned out that he had gotten the blueprints from somewhere and was now sitting on a pig trough boat, looking incredibly impressive.
Compared to Qianyue's bamboo raft, this wooden boat looked very high-end. Even Xu Xiaogu's eyes lit up a little.
Qianyue was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "Your boat is quite nice."
The man smiled proudly upon hearing this. He had come here specifically to show off, and immediately taunted, "Didn't you just look down on me—"
Qianyue finished slowly, "The person sitting on it is bald, ugly, and greasy."
The bald man's expression changed instantly. Just as he was about to say something, Qianyue hooked her finger at him and said impatiently, "Stop talking nonsense. Come over here and show me how to fight."
Bald man: "..."
His expression changed for a while, and finally he tried to defend himself dryly: "A good man doesn't follow a woman—"
Before he could finish his words, Qianyue picked up a hairy coconut and smashed it at him!
"Sorry, I hit you."
The pig trough boat was narrow and long, and it was easy to capsize if the direction and force were not controlled properly. Qianyue's coconut hit him directly in the chest. The man cried out in pain, and both he and the boat fell into the water!
“Crash—”
A huge splash of water occurred, and the people around him blinked at the same time, observing a three-second silence for that person.
Why doesn't this person learn his lesson?
Qianyue dusted off her hands and turned around to see Xu Xiaogu looking at her with admiration, his eyes shining as if there were stars in them.
Qianyue: “…”
She explained, "This is called the Great Ghost Lotus. Normally, a child can sit on it without any problem—in a dungeon, it can probably be detached and used as a boat."
Upon hearing this, Xu Xiaogu climbed up and tried it without saying a word, and his eyes suddenly brightened!
"You're so amazing!"
Qianyue: "...That's not the case."
Xu Xiaogu: "No, no, no, he's really amazing! He knows a lot and fights so well!"
Qianyue always felt something was strange, so she sent the little girl away with a few words. She then picked up her own small bamboo basket and worked for half an hour.
Qianyue even managed to go back in time to harvest some crops. Since her backpack couldn't hold them any more, she simply piled them on the island. Anyway, no one dared to take advantage of her.
Similarly, during this process, the crops on the uninhabited island also ripened once, but this time no one was in a hurry to work on them. Instead, they subconsciously looked at Qianyue's movements.
After discovering that she was addicted to fishing and had no intention of going to the island to get supplies, everyone rushed to the island happily, ready to go.
Before the fight started, Qianyue's voice suddenly came from not far away -
"Don't disturb my fish."
Everyone: “…”
If players from other archipelagos passed by at this time, they would find that not only was there no bloody fight on the uninhabited island, but every player was queuing up obediently, and the atmosphere was quiet and peaceful.
They look just like the kids sitting in rows eating fruit in kindergarten.
