Xu Kun: "Sure! But you can only exchange one backpack for one blueprint. What will you use to exchange for the other two blueprints?"
Gu Mian pursed her lips: "Would you like some mineral water or food?"
Xu Kun: "Hehe, I don't need it for now. If you have any other good stuff, you can come and trade with me."
Gu Mian rummaged through her spatial backpack with some disappointment and found that it was almost entirely filled with various kinds of food.
There's no other way...
Gu Mian: "Then I'll change the blueprints for the wooden spear first."
Still unwilling to give up, I posted another message: "Want to trade 5 cans of Sprite for the iron pot blueprint? Want to trade?"
Xu Kun: "Okay, I'll just consider this a friendship with you, girl. Remember to come find me next time you have something good."
Gu Mian blinked and quickly replied, "Okay, no problem."
Making a wooden spear requires 3 iron blocks, which Gu Mian obtained from the island.
So, Gu Mian opened the manufacturing panel, studied the blueprints, and began to make it!
[Spear: Attack Power 20, Durability 100, Crafting Materials Required: Wood*3, Iron Ingot*3, Craft?]
"yes!"
[Iron pot: Can be used to boil water or stir-fry vegetables. Requires: 6 iron blocks. Craft?]
"yes!"
Soon, the wooden spear and iron pot were completed.
Wang Xiaoqing: "I have 10 bok choy seeds and 18 tomato seeds here. Do you want them?"
Gu Mian replied happily, "Yes, what do you need?"
Wang Xiaoqing: "Give me some bottled water and food. I'm unlucky today; there's not much food among the supplies I got."
What a coincidence! She revealed so much food!
Gu Mian: "I want all these seeds. I'll trade you three bottles of mineral water and two boxes of self-heating rice."
Wang Xiaoqing: "Okay, can I borrow an apple? I'll give it to you as soon as I get the seeds."
Gu Mian readily agreed: "No problem."
You gave Wang Xiaoqing an apple.
Based on the few transactions we've seen so far, Wang Xiaoqing appears to be a person of good character.
Besides, it's just an apple; she's not afraid of being cheated out of it.
Wang Xiaoqing: "Thank you!"
Gu Mian didn't take it seriously, but Wang Xiaoqing was moved to tears.
Although the apple was bought on credit, it was one of the few acts of kindness she received from a stranger!
With the seeds in hand, the planting land can be put to use.
The four plots of land, each exactly one square meter, completely filled a wooden raft.
After setting up the soil, Gu Mian scattered all the bok choy seeds into it.
Soon, the system prompted:
[Bok choy: Maturity countdown: 71:59 (Watering and fertilizing can accelerate growth).]
Um?
Does watering accelerate growth?
Gu Mian opened a bottle of mineral water and poured it on it.
[Bok choy: Maturity countdown: 70:59 (Fertilization can accelerate growth).]
Gu Mian touched her chin. Did watering reduce the growth time by an hour?
Open the chat channel: "Mineral water, noodles, and apples for fertilizer. DM me if you have any."
No sooner had the message been sent than Hua Xinrui sent a private message.
Flower Heart Bud: "You want fertilizer? Did you get land for planting?"
There was no point in hiding it, Gu Mian said straightforwardly, "Yes, do you have fertilizer?"
Hua Xinrui: "Yes, what will you use to exchange for it?"
Gu Mian thought for a moment and said, "Can I exchange one ice cream for three bags of fertilizer?"
In this hot weather, who could resist an ice cream?
Hua Xinrui was overjoyed: "Yes, yes!"
She wouldn't care much for other foods, but this is ice cream!
Who can resist ice cream in summer?
Anyway, she can't!
I traded 5 popsicles for 15 bags of fertilizer from Flower Heart Stamen. After the supplies doubled, the fertilizer became 30 bags.
They also collected 20 bags of fertilizer from other people using two bottles of mineral water, a pack of noodles, and five apples.
After the supplies were doubled, Gu Mian had a total of 70 bags of fertilizer.
Gu Mian opened a bag of fertilizer and sprinkled it in.
[Bok choy: Maturity countdown: 65:59 (Fertilization can accelerate growth).]
One bag of fertilizer can reduce growth time by 5 hours!
Gu Mian opened another bag of fertilizer and sprinkled it in.
[Bok choy: Maturity countdown: 60:59 (Fertilization can accelerate growth).]
The system notification remained unchanged, so Gu Mian continued to dismantle and spread the fertilizer.
[Little bok choy: Countdown to maturity: 55:59.]
The system notification changed, and Gu Mian reluctantly withdrew her hand, which was about to continue spreading fertilizer.
Looking up at the sky, the sun was already setting, and the fiery red clouds looked quite stunning.
"It's already so late..."
Gu Mian muttered to herself as she quickly washed her hands with purified water and then brought in the clothes that had been drying on the roof.
After a day of being exposed to the scorching sun, the clothes were so dry they couldn't get any drier.
The two filters filtered another 1L of water. Gu Mian couldn't stand sleeping with a body full of sweat and odor, even when there was no shortage of water.
Although it wasn't completely dark yet, the temperature had already dropped considerably. In order to avoid catching a cold, Gu Mian decided to go through the trouble of heating the water before taking a bath.
The stove boils water very quickly; the water gets very hot to the touch in about ten minutes.
Hot water was poured into the wooden tub, and some cold water was added. Gu Mian quickly wet her body with a ladle and then scrubbed herself with a towel.
The wooden tub and water ladle were provided by the bathroom; due to limited resources, this was the only way she could wash her body.
After taking a shower and changing into new clothes, Gu Mian felt extremely refreshed, both physically and mentally.
