After sending all the potatoes to the group chat, Gu Mian took a sip of water, noticing that the sky was still relatively bright, and continued walking eastward.
About ten minutes later, she saw a bush with many red berries the size of a fingernail growing on it, which looked just like the ones she had eaten before.
Gu Mian walked over, and just as she was about to reach out and pick one to take a look, a bright green snake suddenly darted out of the bushes.
The snake's cold eyes stared at her with a chilling gaze, and the next second its body shot out with lightning speed.
In that instant, Gu Mian's mind went blank. She instinctively drew a short knife from her waist and swung it upwards.
A sharp blade flashed, and the snake's body was cut in two.
[Slayed a Tier 1 mutated bamboo viper. Harvest now?]
“Yes…” Gu Mian said, stammering a little.
Whenever she saw this slippery, long animal, she felt a chill run down her spine.
Moreover, the snake darted out so suddenly that if she hadn't had some fighting instincts, she probably would have been bitten by now!
Uh... no...
She had a shield; even if she hadn't reacted in time, the snake couldn't have bitten her...
"Wow, there are so many berries here, brother, look!" a crisp voice rang out.
“There is indeed a lot, enough for us to eat for two days,” a male voice said with a laugh.
Gu Mian turned around and saw a man and a woman walking quickly towards her from the south.
The man was probably in his thirties, with a buzz cut, and about 1.8 meters tall.
He was muscular and had a determined look in his eyes; he didn't seem like an ordinary player.
The girl looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old. She was quite pretty, with fair skin, and her face was exceptionally lively and bright when she spoke.
The two have some resemblance in their eyes and eyebrows, so they should be related by blood.
The two completely ignored Gu Mian, who was standing to the side, and headed straight for the berry bushes, reaching out to pick some.
Gu Mian: ...
They quickly took the lead, picking the berries with both hands simultaneously, finishing the harvest before the others.
"Hey, how could you do this! You actually stole the resources that others saw first!" the girl shouted angrily.
Gu Mian gave her a speechless look. "Whose did you steal it from?"
The girl frowned: "Ours! My brother and I were just reaching out to pick the fruit when you suddenly appeared and picked them all in a flash!"
How can you blatantly rob someone like that!
"That's not right." Gu Mian found it a bit funny: "If it's based on first come, first served, I've been standing here for ages, so this patch of berries should rightfully be mine."
If we're talking about who's faster, it's obvious I'm a little faster than you guys.
So how can you say I stole your resources?
Hearing Gu Mian say this, the girl was clearly a little confused.
She turned to the man beside her and asked in an uncertain tone, "Brother, is what she said true?"
Was she already here before we arrived?
The man recalled for a moment, then smiled sheepishly: "It seems he really was there. We were too excited and completely forgot about him."
Gu Mian: ...
How dare you say that? I'm standing right here, a living, breathing person, and you can't even see me? I seriously doubt your eyesight.
Hearing the man say the same thing, the girl immediately frowned and reluctantly glanced at Gu Mian: "Okay, I misunderstood you, I'm sorry."
Gu Mian nodded: "Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, shall we leave it at that?"
As she spoke, she prepared to turn around and return the way she came. By now, it was already getting dark, and if she walked quickly, she estimated that she could make it back to the cave before nightfall.
"Wait a minute." The man called out to Gu Mian, "It's like this, my name is Nie Yun, and this is my sister Nie Yu."
My sister usually loves to eat fruit, but she hasn't had any since we arrived on the island several days ago, which is why she was so excited when she saw that berry bush..."
"You can just say what you want to say," Gu Mian interrupted him directly.
Nie Yun paused for a moment, then continued, "I saw that there were quite a lot of berries in that clump. Could we trade some other supplies for some?"
"What should we use?" Gu Mian glanced at Nie Yu, who was staring at her expectantly.
emmm
That look in his eyes is just like a pitiful puppy.
Nie Yun: "Will a bandage work? It can restore 10 health points at once."
"Okay," Gu Mian readily agreed.
Just kidding, this is the first time she's ever seen someone so foolish as to trade recovery items for berries.
If she doesn't want to, wouldn't she be the one getting ripped off?
One bandage for ten berries—this deal, which satisfied both parties, came to an end. Gu Mian walked back happily in the setting sun.
...
[Day 13 of Survival on a Desert Island, 8:00 AM, Sunny.]
Today's temperature is 40℃-50℃.
Chat channel.
"Damn! This sweltering heat is unbearable! I'm constantly covered in sweat, I feel like I'm being pickled!"
"Who isn't? I've completely become a night owl, hiding during the day and venturing out at night."
"I don't know how many bottles of water I need to drink a day, my mouth is always so dry."
"I want ice cream, I want iced cola..."
...
The small waterfall outside had stopped flowing a few days ago.
Thanks to the water in the pool, Gu Mian and the others managed to survive in the cave for a few more days, but now the pool is almost dry.
At 8 p.m. sharp, Gu Mian started selling bottled water in the chat channel.
After these ten days, virtually no players are criticizing her for selling overpriced items.
After all, for players who haven't found a water source on the island and don't have much water stored up, being able to exchange a loan for urgently needed supplies is already a great deal.
