Chapter 7 Making a Water Purifier
Mingzhao: "10 chocolates, starting bid 1 Ocean Coin per piece, highest bidder wins."
After sending the message, Mingzhao left.
After a busy day on the island, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.
Today we only covered 90 nautical miles, and my sanity is still at 78. Mingzhao needs to hurry up and catch up.
Back on the duck boat, Mingzhao put away the old manufacturing table and began to move forward at full speed.
I kept running until 9 p.m., when my sanity dropped to 22, and then I stopped.
We covered 150 nautical miles, and including the 90 nautical miles we covered in the morning, we covered a total of 240 nautical miles.
I electrocuted 50 human-faced sardines, gained 100 points and a large amount of fish meat, and increased my agility by two points and my strength by one point.
I opened six wooden chests and one silver chest, and obtained 1 vehicle repair card, 1 unit of dirt, 1 cabbage seed, 5 batteries, 3 diesel fuels, 2 pieces of wood, 1 piece of glass, and 1 piece of rubber.
Mingzhao was still missing some common materials to upgrade the ship, so he picked out some items he brought from the supermarket and listed them on the trading platform, noting that he would exchange them for different quantities of common materials.
After Pancake Dog's cooking, she has lost her appetite for all these other things.
Mingzhao took out a steaming can of sardine pasta from the still space and enjoyed a delicious meal.
Starch made her sleepy, but she didn't forget the most important thing.
She took out the repair card she received from her sleeping husband and used it on the crafting table.
The workbench needs 5 hours to repair, but it will be fixed when I wake up after a nap.
With anticipation for the cooking station in mind, Mingzhao drifted off into a sweet dream.
The next day at six o'clock sharp, Mingzhao jumped out of bed.
Opening the Sea-Land Friendly Trade Group, I found that after an afternoon and an evening of bidding, the price of chocolate remained at 5 Ocean Coins.
Mingzhao was overjoyed. This was much more profitable than buying secondhand ships. It was just a pity that the supermarket only brought so much stuff, so it couldn't be a long-term business.
The manufacturing station has been repaired. Mingzhao opened the Free Trade Zone and planned to see if there were any suitable blueprints.
And she actually found one.
Water purifier blueprints: Two servings as you like.
In the early stages of the game, no one had a crafting station, and blueprints were very cheap. Mingzhao traded a pack of Xiaowanxiong instant noodles and a compressed biscuit for the blueprint.
The materials listed on the blueprint are 2 pieces of glass, 1 piece of plastic, 1 piece of wood, 1 piece of stone, and 1 battery.
Mingzhao happened to have all of them. He put the materials and blueprints into the crafting table, and the panel showed that the crafting would take 1 hour.
She started rowing the boat again without stopping to cover today's distance.
Today, the number of human-faced sardines has decreased significantly, while the number of silver treasure chests has increased.
Mingzhao keenly sensed something was wrong. When opening the box, he didn't use his hands directly, but instead used a claw hook.
As soon as the treasure chest was opened, the grappling hook was firmly gripped by a giant pincer.
Giant sand crabs are also a common monster in the initial sea areas.
This thing is best at clamping down on anything that gets close to it.
If your hand gets caught, the force can be so great that it can break your hand bones.
However, this was no problem for Mingzhao; the one-meter arc of electricity from the curling iron could easily electrocute a crab.
Congratulations, player! You have earned 4 points and 4 crab meat.
Upon seeing the crab meat, Mingzhao became excited and began to imagine the dishes that Jianbing Gouzi would make with crab meat, and couldn't help but drool.
Then, an hour later, a small water purifier appeared in front of Mingzhao.
The method of using the water purifier is to add seawater to the tank and then place it in the sun, and fresh water will flow out drop by drop.
Mingzhao calculated that he could get about five 500 mL bottles of fresh water per hour.
Opening the service area group chat, I found the atmosphere to be somewhat subdued.
Fish and Chips: "[Image] Does anyone know how to get this thing off?"
In the picture, a giant sand crab is firmly clamping down on a hand's wrist.
Practice what you preach: "Everyone, please be very careful when opening boxes! It's best to keep a distance before opening them."
Grilled Chicken Burger: "I haven't eaten for two days. I might not see the sun rise tomorrow."
Hyrule thug: "A person can live for seven days without food, but I haven't had water for two days. I just drank two mouthfuls of seawater, and I'm afraid I won't even see the sun this afternoon."
Perhaps because everyone was hungry and thirsty, fewer people were talking in the group.
Cosmic Invincible Tyrannomon: "Selling fresh water, 500 mL per bottle; common materials, one per bottle; batteries, three per bottle; other items, message me privately. Limited quantities, first come, first served."
With that, he hung five bottles of fresh water in the trading hall.
The system froze for a moment after I posted it, and then I saw that the inventory had become 0.
Hyrule Thug: "Aaaaaah! I got it! Thank you so much, you're my god!"
The young man chasing the wind: "What happened? I clicked on it and it was gone?"
Thorny Rose: "Waaaaah, when will you release new items, sir? I really need them!"
Below that is another series of +1s.
Seeing the huge demand for fresh water, and considering that many machines would need fresh water in the future, Mingzhao decided to make two more water purifiers.
Cosmic Invincible Tyrannomon: "15 bottles will be available every hour on the hour from now on. Those who need them can keep an eye out."
Mingzhao placed the materials for the two water purifiers onto the workbench and continued on his way.
With fewer human-faced sardines in the sea, she tried to collect as many treasure chests as possible. Although it was more troublesome, the attribute points gained from killing giant sand crabs were two points each time, so it wasn't a bad deal.
By 11 a.m., Mingzhao had traveled 120 nautical miles, killed 10 giant sand crabs and 10 human-faced sardines, gained 60 experience points, and increased his defense by two points.
Monster chests contain more resources than regular chests. In just one morning, Mingzhao obtained 20 batteries, 8 diesel fuels, 1 ship upgrade card, 10 loaves of bread, and a number of common materials.
I opened my private chat with Jianbing Gouzi and sent him 20 crab meats.
Cosmic Invincible Greymon: "We have new ingredients, what do you think?"
Pancake Dog: "Boss, you're awesome! I saw in the group chat that people are saying this monster is hard to kill, and that so many are too valuable?"
Cosmic Invincible Greymon: "It's not difficult, don't worry, there will be plenty more in the future."
Only then did Pancake Dog feel relieved and focus on cooking; following the boss was truly reassuring.
Less than half an hour later, Mingzhao received the food delivered by the pancake dog.
[Player Pancake Dog is gifting you: Fish and Crab Porridge*2, Baked Sand Crab with Cheese*2, Truffle Sand Crab Spaghetti*2, Stir-fried Sand Crab with Ginger and Scallions*2, Rice*10]
Mingzhao chose a truffle and sand crab pasta and a fish and crab porridge, and put the rest into the still space.
The thin pasta is coated in a light sauce, the warmth of the butter, the sweetness of the crab meat, and the rich flavor of the black truffle combine perfectly, creating a complex and unforgettable taste.
The oily rice grains are cooked until they almost melt, and the salty and fresh crab and fish meat are mixed in the porridge with a hint of ginger. One bite warms you from your throat all the way to your stomach.
It seems that the pancake-making dog's cooking skills have improved again.
After a satisfying meal, Mingzhao basked in the warm sun, feeling incredibly content with her life.
Just then, Pancake Dog sent another message.
Pancake Dog: "Hey boss, I want to tell you something, I hope you don't mind. If you do mind, just pretend I didn't say anything."
Invincible Greymon: "You say it."
