At 8 p.m., the temperature gradually dropped.
Gu Mian cooked a pot of rice porridge in an iron pot, set it aside to cool, and then washed the iron pot clean again, preparing to make pan-fried dumplings.
Just as I put the dumplings into the iron pot, Xu Kun sent me a private message:
"Just woke up. Thanks, Mianmei. I'll give you something delicious too [10 chestnuts]."
The roasted chestnuts exude an enticing aroma, and with a gentle squeeze, the shells can be easily cracked open.
Gu Mian: "The taste is not bad."
Xu Kun: "Hehe, I'm glad you like it."
The bottoms of the dumplings had already turned a thin, golden brown. Gu Mian took out a bottle of mineral water, poured in most of it, then covered the pot and let the dumplings simmer until cooked.
Gu Mian traded an apple for the pot lid. Although it wasn't worth much, she needed it, so she traded it.
After about ten minutes, the aroma of chives began to waft from the pot. When the water was almost boiled, Gu Mian lifted the lid and prepared to eat.
The rice porridge had cooled down considerably, and although the dumplings were a bit too hot to eat, it didn't affect their taste.
A bite of dumpling, a sip of porridge—life is truly wonderful.
By 9:30, the temperature had dropped to around 40 degrees Celsius, and we were finally able to leave the cabin.
After placing the two fully automatic fishing rods obtained from the trade on the side of the raft, Gu Mian also made a medium-grade fishing rod, using all three rods to fish for boxes.
A few minutes later, the fully automatic fishing rod was swung back, and a wooden box appeared on the raft.
Wow...so convenient!
Gu Mian was excited as she watched. Just as she was about to check how much durability she had used to fish out a box, she felt her fishing rod dip slightly.
Gu Mian gently pulled upwards, and a bronze box was pulled onto the raft.
"Wow, I'm in luck today, my first start is a bronze box."
Gu Mian happily opened the box and obtained 10 candles and 10 cooling patches.
[Talent Use: Gain 20 Candles and 20 Cooling Patches.]
Hmm... the supplies don't look too good... I guess I'll just keep fishing for chests.
First, replace the cooling patches with ice cubes, then post an advertisement in the chat channel:
"Cooling patches are now available, but quantities are limited."
"Wow, this is too few! Please add 100 more!"
"You guys have such incredible speed, it's impossible to grab one..."
Wang Xuanyi: "[Cooling Patches *10] Are you guys fighting over these? I got one too, anyone want it?"
"Yes, yes, I want all 10 cooling patches! I'm messaging you privately!"
Gu Mian posted the advertisement and then left. In just a few minutes, the two automatic fishing rods had already retrieved four boxes for her.
Although they are all wooden boxes, the probability of fishing for them is astonishing!
Checking the durability, I found that each of the two fishing rods only consumed 2 durability points. Comparing this to the number of boxes, it's easy to conclude that fishing up 2 boxes consumes 1 durability point.
This is really good stuff!
Open the box, open the box.
[Obtain Milk*1]
[Obtain 1 iron nail]
[Received Honey*1]
[Obtained 1 bottle of mineral water]
[Talent Use: Obtain Milk*2, Iron Nails*2, Honey*2, Mineral Water*2.]
[Disassemble the wooden crate; using the talent yields 8 pieces of wood and 8 iron nails.]
Hmm... the supplies don't seem to be very good either...
Day 12 at sea, sunny.
After staying up all night, using two automatic fishing rods and six intermediate fishing rods, I caught a total of 260 wooden boxes and 80 bronze boxes.
Gu Mian stored all the boxes in her backpack, planning to open them slowly after she woke up.
It was already seven in the morning. Gu Mian quickly took a shower, ate the rice porridge she hadn't finished yesterday, and then collapsed onto the wooden bed and fell into a deep sleep.
When the temperature rose and I woke up feeling hot, I groggily took out ten ice buckets and then fell asleep again.
After sleeping for less than two hours, Gu Mian was woken up by the heat again and continued to fumble for an ice bucket while still half asleep.
It took five or six repetitions before I was fully awake.
Gu Mian groaned in pain, "This is too torturous..."
The days and nights are reversed, which is exhausting, especially during the day when the temperature is so high that it can kill you, and you can't sleep well at all.
With two huge dark circles under my eyes, I pondered for three minutes and decided that I couldn't go on like this anymore.
Her supplies were more than enough for her to comfortably get through the remaining 6 days; there was really no need to make things so difficult for herself.
Survival is already difficult enough; let's make things as comfortable as possible.
After calming herself down, Gu Mian relaxed completely.
After lying down for a while, I felt so hungry that I slowly got up to get myself something to eat.
Take out a piece of fish and a handful of rice, wash them clean, put them into the food processor, pour in half a bottle of mineral water, and press the start button.
The food processor vibrated a few times and then indicated that the food was ready.
[Ding! You have received a serving of fish porridge.]
The freshly made fish porridge was a little too hot to drink, so Gu Mian put the bowl in front of the ice bucket and let the electric fan blow on it for a minute before picking it up again to eat.
“Mmm… it’s delicious!”
The fish porridge was fragrant and smooth, and every sip was full of fresh flavor. Before Gu Mian could even react, she had finished the whole bowl.
Gu Mian smacked her lips, feeling she hadn't had enough, so she made another serving.
Hua Xinrui: "Send [Roasted Corn*3], Mianmian, come and try my roasted corn."
[Talent Use: Obtain 6 roasted corns]
The golden-brown roasted corn smelled delicious, and although Gu Mian really wanted to try it, her stomach was simply too full.
I could only reply helplessly, "I just finished two bowls of porridge, and I really can't eat anymore."
Hua Xinrui asked in surprise, "What kind of porridge is it? Is it delicious? Let me try some!"
