Day 4 of survival at sea, sunny weather.
Still half asleep, Gu Mian got up and stretched her stiff body.
Twisting her stiff neck, Gu Mian missed her comfortable bed terribly!
This rickety wooden raft is too hard; she wakes up with a sore back every day!
After brushing her teeth carefully, Gu Mian took out a red bean bread for breakfast and opened the chat channel.
The red bean bread is only the size of a fist, and it tastes very sweet and soft. Gu Mian can finish one in three bites!
District 10, Area Chat (/):
"It's terrifying, more than 2,000 people died in one night."
"One bottle of mineral water can be exchanged for one piece of wood or one iron nail."
"The person upstairs is really greedy. Don't they know what the prices of lumber and nails are like now?"
"Exactly, who's short of water right now!"
Gu Mian seized the opportunity to speak: "One piece of wood for one nail, if you have any, let's chat privately."
Zhu Zhixin: "Gu Mian, you're such a heartless and unscrupulous businessman! Yesterday, you even charged an extra two pieces of wood for processing a wooden barrel!"
Zhu Zhixin: "Yesterday, everyone was attacked by a school of fish, and the raft was damaged. You should return the timber to us so we can repair the raft!"
Liu Haitao: "I think Zhu Zhixin is right! Gu Mian, give me back my timber, I don't want the barrel anymore!"
Hua Xinrui: "The two people upstairs are really funny. Gu Mian only earns 2 pieces of wood for processing a wooden barrel. What's the difference between that and giving it away for free?"
Wang Xiaoqing: "I'm afraid these two are just throwing a tantrum because they couldn't get what they wanted."
Seeing Hua Xinrui and Wang Xiaoqing speaking up for her, Gu Mian curiously clicked on their profiles.
Although she had traded with these two people several times, she had never clicked on their profile pictures to check their identities before.
Wang Xiaoqing's information is all hidden; nothing can be found out about her.
Although Hua Xinrui's information is hidden, her profile picture is very clear; she appears to be a mature and intellectual older sister.
Gu Mian gave each of them a cucumber, as she didn't like owing favors to others.
Moreover, they were just strangers who had done business with each other a few times, so this kindness was very precious.
Hua Xinrui readily accepted it and replied with a thank you.
Wang Xiaoqing replied with a "?".
Gu Mian didn't explain; she didn't like mushy conversations.
Soon, Wang Xiaoqing accepted the cucumber and replied with a thank you.
Gu Mian breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed that she understood what she meant.
There are still many people who exchange iron nails for wood, let alone Gu Mian, who is exchanging them at a 1:1 ratio.
Within minutes, Gu Mian had exchanged for 200 iron nails, and then doubled them to 400 through her talent.
Seeing that there was not much wood left, Gu Mian started exchanging 1 iron nail for 1 piece of wood.
"Is Gu Mian crazy? Why is she swapping a piece of wood for a nail?"
"They should be able to make some money, otherwise why go through all this trouble?"
Although many people criticize Gu Mian's practice of constantly swapping wood and nails, she still attracts a large number of customers who come to her for transactions.
Gu Mian didn't stop trading until 1:30 pm.
We have nearly 1,000 pieces of wood and nails in storage, which should be enough for a short time.
After drinking a whole bottle of mineral water in one go, Gu Mian belatedly began to feel hungry.
I opened the profile and was shocked by what I saw.
Name: Gu Mian
Gender: Female
Age: 22
Hunger level: 40 (below 30 grants a weakness buff).
Stamina: 90 (Player will die when 0 stamina is reached)
Luck rating: 1 (I've never seen anyone with such a low luck rating before)
Talent: Double Resources
My satiety level is almost at the red line!
Gu Mian took out an apple, washed it with purified water, sat on the wooden box, and started crunching on it.
After eating an apple, Gu Mian gained 10 points of satiety, so she washed another one and ate it.
Gu Mian finally felt at ease after her satiety level rose to 60.
Although her satiety level wasn't at its maximum, Gu Mian still felt quite full after eating two apples.
It can only digest for a while, then I'll eat something else.
Now that there was no shortage of timber and nails, Gu Mian began to eagerly expand the raft.
[Building a raft requires 10 wood and 10 nails. Craft it now?]
"yes."
[Building a raft requires 10 wood and 10 nails. Craft it now?]
"yes."
...
With ample timber and iron nails, Gu Mian expanded the raft to 60 square meters in one go, making it instantly larger and wider.
She could lie on the 60-square-meter raft and roll around on it at night without fear of it capsizing!
Just then, a private message popped up, and Gu Mian quickly clicked to check it.
Hua Xinrui: "Gu Mian, do you need the blueprints for the barbecue grill?"
Gu Mian clicks to view.
[Mini BBQ Grill Blueprint: This blueprint can be used to make a mini BBQ grill. Required materials: 4 metal sheets, 2 charcoal pieces, 4 pieces of wood.]
Good stuff! She wants it!
Gu Mian: "Yes, what do you need?"
Hua Xinrui: "For now, we'll just exchange blueprints."
Forehead……
Gu Mian sent over the only two blueprints she had: a stove and a wooden bed: "Can I trade these two for it?"
Hua Xinrui: "Sorry, I don't need these two for the time being."
Gu Mian: "Okay..."
Looking at the barbecue grill blueprints, Gu Mian still couldn't give up and started rummaging through her stockpile of materials.
Although her stove can also heat food, adults don't have to choose; she wants it all!
Oh, right!
Gu Mian: "[Space Backpack], do you want this?"
Flower Heart: "Yes!"
The transaction is completed.
Gu Mian received two barbecue grill blueprints, and Hua Xinrui received a space backpack. Both parties were very satisfied with the transaction.
