District 10, Area Chat (/):
"Two strawberry cookies for a bottle of mineral water. Click here to trade."
"You think you can trade two cookies for a bottle of mineral water? You must be crazy!"
"Just because you don't want to trade doesn't mean others don't need it. Two strawberry cookies for a bottle of mineral water. Contact me to trade."
"A fishing rod can be exchanged for anything to eat."
"If you don't use a fishing rod upstairs, what will you use to retrieve the box tomorrow?"
"A fishing rod can be exchanged for anything to eat."
"upstairs……"
Twenty people had died in just one afternoon. Gu Mian was still shaken; she had almost become one of those missing.
Upon seeing the message about selling fishing rods, Gu Mian hesitated for a moment before sending a request to trade using bread.
She wanted to try and see if she could catch a fish.
The deal was quickly finalized.
Talent activation: Double resources!
Obtain fishing rods *2
Is this even possible?
Gu Mian was stunned. As expected of a rare talent, this is too heaven-defying!
Two fishing rods lay on the raft, and Gu Mian picked one up.
Basic Fishing Rod: 30% chance to catch a supply box after use (durability 50).
==
Gu Mian opened the transaction information speechlessly and blocked the person named Zhong Wei.
No wonder they approved her trade request so quickly; her durability was already at half.
Using the light emitted from the screen, Gu Mian began fishing.
Although her fishing hook was empty, she believed in the saying "Jiang Taigong fishes, and those who are willing will take the bait!"
The sea was cool at night, and a sea breeze blew by, causing goosebumps to rise on Gu Mian's arms, who was only wearing short sleeves.
After waiting for a long time, the fishing rod dipped down, and Gu Mian, who was feeling sleepy, immediately woke up. She quickly pulled the fishing rod up with all her might, and a wooden box jumped out of the water and landed on the raft.
Talent activation: Double resources!
The three cans of eight-treasure porridge in the wooden box immediately doubled to six cans.
Gu Mian happily opened a can and started eating. The bread she had eaten in the afternoon had long been digested, and she was starving!
After finishing a pot of fragrant and sweet eight-treasure porridge, my satiety and stamina increased by 20 points. After deducting the energy consumed in the afternoon, the values returned to 50.
Licking her lips, Gu Mian suppressed her urge to eat another can and picked up her fishing rod to continue fishing for the box.
It's not too late yet, I hope to catch a box before going to bed.
...
It's 12:30 at night.
Gu Mian was so sleepy she could barely keep her eyes open. Two more unopened boxes had appeared on the raft, and at the same time, one of her fishing rods had run out of durability and was dismantled.
Despite being drowsy, Gu Mian arranged the boxes, closed her eyes, and fell asleep immediately.
In the early morning, the soft sunlight shone on my face.
With her eyelashes fluttering slightly, Gu Mian slowly opened her eyes.
She had just woken up, and her mind was still a little foggy.
After a while, I opened the area chat.
District 10, Area Chat (/):
"Good morning! Today is another day full of energy!"
"Screw your energy! Screw your abundance!"
"Is the person upstairs so short-tempered? Did they eat shit?"
"Yoshi! Let's collect lots of chests today!"
Overnight, more than twenty people died.
Feeling a bit down, Gu Mian decided to eat a can of eight-treasure porridge to calm herself down!
Gu Mian didn't throw away the empty jars; she rinsed them with seawater and put them in a wooden box, hoping they might come in handy sometime.
Open the two wooden crates you caught last night and you will receive 10 strawberries and 3 meat buns.
Talent activation: Double resources!
So the wooden box now contained 20 strawberries and 6 meat buns.
Four wooden crates took up too much space, so Gu Mian put everything into one crate and then opened the building board.
The interface, which was gray yesterday, is now lit up, with two new icons: [Disassemble] and [Build].
[The wooden crate has been dismantled, yielding 1 piece of wood and 1 iron nail!]
[The wooden crate has been dismantled, yielding 1 piece of wood and 1 iron nail!]
...
After dismantling the three wooden crates, Gu Mian obtained three pieces of wood and three iron nails.
Talent activation: Double resources!
With the talent doubling effect, it turned into 6 pieces of wood and 6 pieces of iron nails.
Click the build icon.
[Materials needed to build one square meter raft: 10 wood, 10 iron nails. Build now?]
"No." With insufficient materials, Gu Mian had to withdraw.
Gu Mian opened the area chat and sent a message: "Meat buns for wood and nails, highest bidder wins!"
Wow! A rich woman with meat buns has appeared!
"Hey miss, can I have a meat bun? I'll show you my abs!"
"Water! I need water! I'm dying of thirst!"
As soon as the message was sent, Gu Mian received a bunch of private messages.
After filtering out freeloaders and those who only ask for handouts, and blacklisting some envious individuals, Gu Mian traded 5 meat buns for 10 pieces of wood and 5 iron nails.
Talent activation: Double resources!
The raft immediately gained 20 more pieces of wood and 10 more iron nails.
Not having enough materials, Gu Mian traded one strawberry for two iron nails. After using her talent, she had exactly 20 iron nails.
Open the build icon again.
[Materials needed to build a 1-square-meter raft: 10 wood, 10 iron nails. Craft now?]
“Yes,” Gu Mian replied immediately.
She currently has 26 pieces of wood and 20 nails, which is enough to build only two rafts.
Place one piece on each side to form a U-shape on the raft, so that a passing box might just get stuck in the middle.
After a busy day, the sea temperature began to rise.
Gu Mian ate five strawberries to quench her thirst, then ate the rest of the meat bun. Feeling about 70% full, she stopped eating.
