Throughout the day, Gu Mian traded goods for ice, sometimes with fruit, sometimes with bottled water. By evening, she had nearly 3,000 ice blocks.
In addition to stockpiling ice, she also expanded the raft to 299 square meters.
With just one last piece of wood remaining to complete the 300-square-meter raft, Gu Mian took a sip of water and installed the final piece of wood.
[Congratulations! You've become the first player to expand your raft to 300 square meters! Your progress is far ahead of the competition. You've received a planting box*1 and a blind box gift pack as rewards.]
[Talent Use: Obtain 2 Planting Boxes and 2 Blind Box Gift Packs.]
[Planting box: Suitable for growing vegetables and fruits; fertilizer and nutrient solution can accelerate growth.]
The planting box was empty, about one meter long and fifty or sixty centimeters wide. It definitely wouldn't fit in the wooden house, and we didn't need it for the time being, so we put it outside.
"I should find the blueprints for the big house," Gu Mian muttered to herself as she opened the blind box gift pack.
[Obtained 1 nutrient soil]
[Obtained 10 Basic Nutrient Solution]
[Obtained 10 cabbage seeds]
[Obtained 10 tomato seeds]
[Obtained 10 spinach seeds]
[Obtained 10 potato seeds]
[Obtained 10 carrot seeds]
[Obtained the blueprints for a three-story luxury villa]
[Obtain a kettle]
[Obtain the complete recipe book for the food machine]
The cookbook is thick and heavy, like a brick.
Flip to any page, and you'll find tempting pictures accompanied by descriptions of ingredient quantities.
For example, to make strawberry jelly, you need milk, ice cubes, and two strawberries.
Seeing this, Gu Mian made one for herself without hesitation.
[Strawberry Jelly: Restores 10 HP per second for 2 minutes.]
!!
It's actually food that can restore health!
He promptly posted in the chat channel: "[Strawberry Jelly] In exchange for a food machine, or various blueprints."
Things are valued for their rarity, and she had never seen any food that could restore health before; she needed to use it to exchange for better items.
There's also the food maker; the food in this recipe book can only be made with the food maker, so she needs to stock up on several.
"What kind of food is this that can restore health?"
"A true master is a master; he always produces amazing stuff."
Zhao Zhiqiang: "I have a food processor, but its durability is only 60 points left. Is that okay?"
Gu Mian clicked on his profile picture and sent a message: "Okay, let's make a deal."
[Talent Use: Obtain Gourmet Machine (Durability 60) *2.]
Gu Mian looked at the newly acquired food machine with great satisfaction, while Zhao Zhiqiang devoured the strawberry jelly in just a couple of bites.
"It's cool and quite delicious." Zhao Zhiqiang smacked his lips as if savoring the taste, and then opened his personal panel.
He breathed a sigh of relief when he found his health had been fully restored and opened the chat window:
"Thank you so much, sir. If you need anything, just let me know and I'll send you [500g of beef] as a gift."
After sending the message, I requested to add you as a friend.
This is a powerful player who can make healing food; he needs to cling to this powerful player's coattails!
[Talent Activation: Obtain 500g*2 of beef.]
Gu Mian raised an eyebrow and accepted his friend request: "I currently need an ice maker and a food processor. You can contact me if you have them."
Zhao Zhiqiang's eyes lit up: "Okay, okay, I'll keep an eye out for you, boss. Shall we still use this kind of food that can restore health for the transaction?"
Gu Mian replied calmly, "Okay."
Gu Mian didn't care that Zhao Zhiqiang said he would keep an eye on this matter for her; it was just talk, and there was no need to take it seriously.
After putting the two newly acquired food processors into the storage cabinet, Gu Mian immediately began studying the blueprints for the three-story villa.
This was like a godsend; she was just complaining that her current wooden house was too small, and then she drew a blueprint for a three-story house. She was quite lucky.
[Three-story house: Required materials: 1800 planks, 1200 stone bricks.]
It takes 3 pieces of wood to craft a plank and 3 pieces of stone to craft a brick. I roughly calculated the materials needed to build a three-story house.
Gu Mian suddenly realized that the log cabin wasn't so bad after all...
The three resource networks also yielded results, capturing two wooden boxes and one bronze box respectively.
Open the box to obtain 3 weeds, 5 milk, 10 wood, and 6 mineral water.
There wasn't anything good. Gu Mian pouted and glanced at the time; it was already eight o'clock in the evening.
After a busy day, I should treat myself to some delicious food.
After rummaging through her backpack, Gu Mian took out a portion of pork, two portions of rice, and a portion of seasoning and put them into the food processor.
[Ding! You have received a claypot rice dish.]
[Claypot Rice: Increases satiety by 60 points after consumption.]
Gu Mian made four portions in total. She kept one portion for herself and put the remaining three portions on the trading platform.
Gu Mian: "[Claypot Rice*3] is now available, with various recipes available."
It's unlikely that she'll get a really good blueprint by trading claypot rice, especially since the veteran players who have survived this long certainly aren't short of food. But she's not at a loss, though.
[Raft attacked, durability -3]
[Raft attacked, durability -5]
[Raft attacked, durability -8]
...
Gu Mian was just about to take a sip of water to quench her thirst when she heard a series of notification sounds from the system. Startled, she quickly grabbed her wooden spear and ran out of the wooden house.
A shark was baring its sharp teeth, frantically gnawing at her raft.
The moment Gu Mian stepped out of the wooden house, the raft was bitten into pieces, and a gap appeared in the once neat raft.
