[Beginner Fishing Rod: 30% chance to catch a supply box; requires 10 wood and 2 iron nails.]
The materials needed weren't many, but she only had four pieces of wood left.
Reopening the private chat, Gu Mian filtered out the information on timber and nail transactions. Without haggling, she directly selected the transaction with the highest offer.
She didn't like cream bread, and it was too hot; it would probably spoil by evening, so Gu Mian took it all out to trade.
Trade 12 butter loaves for 10 wood and 8 iron nails.
Using the talent, a total of 20 wood and 16 iron nails were obtained.
After two days of experimentation, Gu Mian concluded that resources obtained through trading or opening wooden crates would double in value, while those created using the system would not.
Gu Mian was already very satisfied with this result. If even the things created by the system could be doubled, then her talent would be too heaven-defying.
Gu Mian checked her current supplies; she currently has:
Wood*24, Iron nails*36, Mineral water*6, Eight-treasure porridge*2, Instant noodles*3, Steamed buns*2, Sun hat*1, Toilet paper*2, Sanitary napkins*4.
Charcoal*1, gauze*1, beginner fishing rod blueprint*2, tomatoes*3, spicy beef self-heating hot pot*6.
There wasn't much food, but it was enough for her to eat for three or four days.
She used one sun hat herself, and the extra one could be used to exchange for basic supplies.
There were also fishing rod blueprints. Gu Mian stroked her chin and decided to use them to exchange for wood as well.
The raft is too small; she doesn't have much room to move around. She wants to expand it!
Gu Mian traded a sun hat and a fishing rod blueprint for 20 pieces of wood and 5 iron nails.
Using the talent, a total of 40 wood and 10 iron nails were obtained.
[Building a raft requires 10 wood and 10 nails. Craft it now?]
"yes!"
[The raft is complete. Please place it.]
With four wooden planks, Gu Mian placed two planks on each side, transforming the raft into a rectangle.
After the expansion, the raft reached an area of 10 square meters, and Gu Mian no longer had to worry about falling into the sea when she turned over in her sleep at night.
The seawater filter had stopped working, so Gu Mian refilled it with seawater, then poured the filtered purified water into an empty mineral water bottle and sent it to the chat channel:
"Pure water in exchange for charcoal. DM me if interested."
Jiang Bai: "I have charcoal, how can I exchange it?"
Gu Mian: "One bottle of water for two charcoal pieces."
Jiang Bai: "I have 10 charcoal pieces. Besides water, I also need food. Name your price."
Gu Mian: "Private message."
Xu Kun: "I've already messaged you privately."
Hua Xinrui: "I've already messaged you privately."
Wang Xiaoqing: "Help! I think I'm about to get heatstroke, I need water!"
Gu Mian opened her private chat and ignored Wang Xiaoqing's message, just as she had ignored her SOS message before.
She survived because she was lucky; she simply didn't have the extra kindness to help others.
She kept two bottles of water to ensure she had water to drink today, and exchanged the remaining five bottles for charcoal.
Five bottles of water were exchanged for 10 charcoal pieces. After using the talent, it became 20 charcoal pieces, but 20 charcoal pieces are only enough for 4 days.
Gu Mian angrily cursed the unscrupulous system for another 10 minutes!
The afternoon sun was so intense that even wearing a sun hat didn't help much, and the two bottles of water were finished before evening.
Gu Mian luxuriously washed her face with filtered purified water, and only then did she feel a little more awake.
The temperature was too high, and people with heat lost their appetite, but their satiety level kept dropping, so Gu Mian could only break open the eight-treasure porridge and eat it.
Under the high temperature, the eight-treasure porridge becomes warm when you eat it.
One seawater filter was too inefficient, so Gu Mian considered the resources and made another one, placing it next to the previous filter.
With two filters, she can get 2000ml of water every day, which is not only enough for her to drink, but also enough to exchange for supplies. However, it makes the charcoal even more scarce.
She had just finished setting up the filter when she saw a message flashing, so she clicked on it to take a look.
Wang Xiaoqing: "Is there any water left? I'll use a harpoon to get some!"
Gu Mian clicked to take a look.
[Harpoon: Attack Power 20, Durability 100.]
nice one!
Tomorrow, once the newbie period is over, the sea will definitely not be so calm anymore. It would be foolish not to exchange for a weapon that's been delivered to your door!
Gu Mian immediately replied: "Change."
He glanced at the wooden bowl under the filter and continued, "A harpoon can be exchanged for three bottles of water, but I can only give you half a bottle right now. Can I trade you the rest tonight?"
Wang Xiaoqing didn't reply for a long time. Gu Mian was anxious but there was nothing she could do, since she was out of water!
After waiting a few more minutes, Wang Xiaoqing still hadn't replied, so Gu Mian couldn't help but ask, "Or how about I give you a bottle of eight-treasure porridge and half a bottle of water, and then give you another bottle of water tonight?"
This time, Wang Xiaoqing replied instantly: "Deal!"
Gu Mian was delighted and clicked to complete the transaction.
The transaction is complete. The talent has been used, and a total of 2 harpoons have been obtained.
The wooden bowl contained about 300ml of water. Gu Mian traded 250ml to her, and used the remaining 50ml to soothe her throat.
It's so hot that if you don't drink enough water, your throat will feel like it's on fire in no time.
It wasn't until 6:30, when the sun had set, that Gu Mian slowly recovered from her listless state.
After eating two tomatoes to replenish her fluids and sense of fullness, Gu Mian picked up her fishing rod and prepared to fish for supplies.
As soon as Gu Mian cast her fishing rod into the water, she saw a box floating towards her.
Without hesitation, he reeled in his fishing rod and cast it toward the box.
