After cutting down the trees, Gu Mian was covered in sweat from the heat. Now that she was back at sea, a cool breeze blew, and she immediately shivered from the cold.
"I need a kettle to boil water," Gu Mian murmured, wrapped in a blanket, as she opened the chat channel.
Gu Mian: "Coconuts for kettles, DM me if interested."
Hua Xinrui: "I have it, but I've already kept it."
Gu Mian felt that this Hua Xinrui must be incredibly lucky, as she could get almost anything she needed from her!
By trading 3 coconuts, Gu Mian successfully obtained 2 kettles.
The kettle has a capacity of 2L. Gu Mian put the filtered purified water into it and then put it on the stove to heat it.
While the water was boiling, Gu Mian exchanged two coconuts for a clean white towel and used 20 pieces of wood to make two wooden buckets.
One is used for storing water, and the other is used for bathing.
She poured hot water into the wooden tub, threw the blanket aside, quickly took off her clothes, soaked a towel in the hot water, and washed her body.
The water was quite hot, almost scalding to the touch, but it felt very comfortable to wash my body with.
Gu Mian wiped herself several times until the towel changed color before quickly drying herself and changing into a new tracksuit.
After glancing at the sewage in the wooden bucket, Gu Mian hesitated for a few moments before deciding to pour it all out.
While using purified water to wash clothes is a bit wasteful, the bathwater has already changed color, so it probably won't get the clothes clean either...
Moreover, I used 2L of water to take a shower, and there's only 2L left in the wooden tub. I'll have to save up some more water before I can do laundry.
As her physical fatigue subsided somewhat, Gu Mian folded the blanket into several layers and spread them on the wooden bed before lying down wearily.
She doesn't want to move at all right now; she just wants to lie quietly for a while.
After lying down for an hour, her stomach kept growling with hunger, so Gu Mian had no choice but to sit up wrapped in a blanket.
Gu Mian checked the time. "It's already one o'clock in the afternoon. No wonder I'm so hungry."
I've only eaten a self-heating hot pot and a few strawberries since I woke up this morning, no wonder my stomach has been growling in protest.
Gu Mian rummaged through her backpack and took out a portion of the previously grilled fish and a carton of yogurt.
After eating, the satiety level rose to 65.
After smacking her lips, Gu Mian took out another cucumber and started munching on it.
The cucumbers are crunchy and juicy, making them very thirst-quenching.
After finishing a cucumber, Gu Mian's satiety level rose to 70, so she continued collecting timber and nails.
The system announcement she received upon landing on the island gave her an idea: would there be any rewards for continuing to expand logging operations?
Gu Mian's current raft is 60 square meters. Expanding it to 100 square meters would require 400 pieces of wood and 400 iron nails.
There weren't enough nails, and not much timber would be left after the expansion, so Gu Mian first went to the chat channel to collect some materials.
After the expansion, the raft became a square measuring 100 square meters, 10 meters wide and 10 meters long.
[Ding! Congratulations to Gu Mian! As the first player to expand your raft to 100 square meters, you have received a reward—a comfortable cabin. The reward will be distributed shortly.]
Gu Mian was overjoyed; there really was a reward!
Soon, the notification tone continued to sound.
[System notification: You have a new email. Please check your inbox.]
[The cozy cabin has been sent. Would you like to place it?]
"yes!"
A small, exquisite wooden house was placed in the middle of the raft by Gu Mian.
The wooden house is only one story and not very large, about 60 square meters.
Although it is not large, it is fully equipped with all the necessary facilities.
The house includes a bedroom, living room, kitchen, bathroom, and toilet, and even comes equipped with pots, pans, and other utensils, making it fully ready for immediate move-in.
You need to prepare your own water and some daily necessities.
Gu Mian walked around inside and out a few times, then couldn't wait to move the two filters that were placed on the raft inside.
One is placed in the kitchen; the filtered purified water is used for cooking rice.
One is placed in the bathroom, used for filtering purified water for bathing and the like.
After arranging the filter, Gu Mian traded two new sets of bedding for the new bed.
Old beds that are no longer needed are simply dismantled.
Adhering to the principle of making a fortune in silence, Gu Mian, who received the system reward, only secretly rejoiced in her heart.
Not a single word was revealed in the chat channel.
Although I am no longer in the martial arts world, my legend lives on.
Although Gu Mian felt she was keeping a low profile, she received supplies several times a day in the chat channel, which had already attracted a lot of attention.
Every time Gu Mian speaks, someone asks to curry favor with her.
Some people are envious and jealous, and then they slander her, but Gu Mian just blocks them when she sees them. Anyway, she won't let others affect her mood.
The weather was still gloomy, and it looked like it could rain at any moment.
Gu Mian was a little worried that if it rained and the temperature dropped, she might get sick.
Now that she has a wooden house, she's not afraid of hail anymore.
With nothing else to do, Gu Mian decided to make two more fishing rods to fish for supplies.
Although the probability of catching a box during the day is frighteningly low, it's better than nothing.
However, fishing for boxes for too long can get boring, so Gu Mian opened the chat channel and started spying on the screen.
"It's so damn cold! A gust of wind just blew me over and almost threw me into the sea."
"I think I've caught a cold. I've been sneezing all day, and my head is spinning. I haven't managed to retrieve many boxes."
"Take care of yourself, brother upstairs. We're out on the high seas. If you get sick, you know what the consequences will be."
"Today we found a box full of stones, with no food at all. We're almost out of food. Please help the children."
