It was 8:45 p.m. on the third day. Gu Xi knew that she had to light the torch before she could make the bed.
She was groping in the dark for the past few days because there was nothing to light her way. Now that she has unlocked the torch, why would she continue to grope in the dark? Of course not.
There are two options: torches and wall-mounted torches. Since there are no walls, she can only make ordinary torches.
Torch, requires: 5 wood, 1 coal
[To be made]
"yes!"
The newly made torches floated halfway in the air. The flames traced soft streaks of light in the air, illuminating the surroundings. Although not as bright as light bulbs, they were especially important in the pitch-black night.
[Torch fuel: 16 hours; must be manually relit after extinguishing.]
Gu Xi grabbed the torch, and its initial buoyancy vanished automatically. She placed the torch between two exquisite wooden boxes, easily freeing her hands.
Gu Xi opened the trading panel and began browsing the trading details.
Even on the third day, the range of transactions hadn't expanded much. She looked at the timber-related items and found that the exchange value of timber wasn't very favorable. For example:
Exchange 10 Wood for 2 Any Food
Exchange 5 pieces of wood for 5 pieces of iron nails.
Exchange 10 units of wood for 1000ml of drinking water.
For Gu Xi, none of these things were a good deal.
Gu Xi switched to the chat channel, intending to see if anyone was selling timber.
"It's the third day, the newbie event is over, and the newbie period is over. What should I do next?"
The preacher said, "Instead of wasting time nagging here, you should go and get some more wooden crates."
"The preacher has appeared."
"Hey, you missed the real lecturing show yesterday! There were three brain nerves involved. If you had stepped in, you could have made those three feel utterly ashamed."
"Alright, alright, two pieces of my raft have been eaten away by sharks. Let's go fix the raft first."
"Quite a few people must have had their rafts gnawed by sharks tonight."
"Quite a few people have reported being attacked by two sharks. This is still at the tail end of the beginner phase, and they're already like this before the beginner phase is even over. It's really bullying."
"Forget it, forget it. Let's stock up on more timber. In case it gets gnawed on, we'll still have materials to repair it."
"That's right, I'd better take the deal down as soon as possible."
People quickly realized what was happening, and many began to remove the timber from the shelves.
Gu Xi originally planned to see if she could find a bargain, but instead she saw that the timber was being taken off the shelves one after another.
To buy or not to buy?
If you buy it, you can sleep in a bed tonight; if you don't buy it, you can sleep on a raft tonight.
After hesitating for a moment, Gu Xi gave up. Anyway, she had already slept on the raft for so many days, one more night wouldn't be a big deal.
Moreover, she was using the wood to make beds, but for many people, it might be for saving lives...
Faced with the choice between saving lives and spending a night on the raft, she chose the former.
Tonight is destined to be a difficult night, with many people facing attacks from multi-headed sharks. The rafts, which were already taking shape, have been gnawed down to only two-thirds or half.
Day 4 on the sea calendar, this is the first day after the novice period ends.
Gu Xi got up early as usual and fed Shark No. 2 and Shark No. 3 until they were full, and they officially joined the Fish Power industry.
All three sharks' task is to push boxes. Fish have different kinetics than humans. Humans can only fish for boxes during the day when they can see them, but sharks can work 24 hours a day.
