Chapter 3: Am I the only one who can see item hints?
Su Tinglu was shocked for a few seconds. This guy actually sent her the stone axe so directly?
I thought I would have to mortgage something.
At the time, she thought this man was meticulous, but she never expected him to be so simple-minded.
But she didn't hesitate and immediately clicked "Accept".
The next moment, a stone axe appeared in her storage space.
Su Tinglu immediately took the stone axe out of her storage space. The next moment, an item notification appeared next to the stone axe:
[A broken stone axe, worn and neglected for years. Wait, it's the stone axe Master Jim used when he was an apprentice? It's more powerful than a regular stone axe, but it can only be used to break certain hard objects; it can't be used for chopping. It's a basic tool.]
Another name has appeared!
Master Jim?
Without thinking twice, Su Tinglu poured out all the seawater from the bottle, picked up the stone axe, and smashed a small hole in the coconut that had just fallen to the ground.
Glug glug.
The coconut water sloshed around inside, making a muffled sound.
Coconut water can be used to make various delicacies or eaten directly. Consuming it increases your luck by 3, making it easier to find treasure chests at sea!
Today's mood has been really up and down. Su Tinglu immediately poured coconut water into the drifting bottle, filling it exactly halfway!
At this moment, she understood why the other party had entrusted her with the stone axe.
The other party must have used this stone axe to cut down the tree, but found that it was impossible to cut it down, so they simply lent it to me.
If you keep your promise, you'll get a free bottle of coconut water; if you break your promise, you'll just lose a tool that prevents you from cutting down trees.
Although the stone axe can be listed in the trading hall, Su Tinglu guessed that what the other party needed most... was water!
Coconut water and purified water, coconut water must be more precious, which is why the other party wanted to gamble with the stone axe!
They actually guessed right.
She definitely didn't intend to hack the stone axe.
Because there are no other plants on her island besides coconut trees, she offended a player and ended up with a stone axe that can only open coconuts.
It's not worth it! It's better to cooperate with them.
She is currently lacking in resources, and the other island is probably not the same type as hers. Perhaps they could try exchanging resources.
Su Tinglu quickly sent the stone axe and coconut water over, and the other party's attitude towards her changed noticeably after receiving the items.
Perhaps knowing she had gotten a good deal, the other party actually sent her five pieces of wood and two stones.
Su Tinglu immediately realized that the other person must have the same idea as her.
I want to make friends, not offend them.
Without hesitation, she clicked "accept".
Neither of them sent each other any messages, and Su Tinglu didn't mind, taking out the wood and stones she had obtained from her backpack.
Wood can be used for building houses, as well as for making torches, campfires, braziers, and other related items. It has a wide range of uses and is an essential basic material in the survival world. It can be obtained by opening treasure chests, completing tasks, trading in the trading hall, and chopping down trees.
Su Tinglu noticed the keywords that followed.
Can you get wood by opening treasure chests and completing tasks?
There's hope for her!
She looked at the stone again, and a prompt appeared next to it.
Ordinary stones have many uses. Two stones can be combined to make one flint and steel. Note that a workbench is required. Flint and steel can be used to start fires.
flint and steel!
Su Tinglu remembered that there was a tool table when the river flowed eastward.
If the other party gave me two stones, then I must have more than two stones in my hand. So I guess I've already made a flint and steel.
She immediately messaged the other person: 【Do you have a flint and steel?】
On another densely forested island.
A burly man was standing at the door of a dilapidated wooden house, gulping down coconut water.
I have to say, this tastes amazing!
The man wiped his mouth and suddenly heard a message notification. Thinking it was a business opportunity, he immediately opened his private message page.
But when he saw the player ID that sent him the message, he was puzzled.
Li Hai still chose to click to view, and what the other party said stunned him.
A flint and steel?
That person thinks way too highly of him!
Compared to others, he was indeed lucky, but he wasn't so lucky that he even had a flint and steel. After all, the stone axe he found by chance couldn't even cut down a tree.
But he still answered truthfully: 【No】
Across from her, Su Tinglu felt something was amiss.
Did the other party give him the last two stones?
That shouldn't be the case.
She immediately replied: 【You're out of stones?】
What is the connection between a stone and a flint?
Li Hai was startled. Did the other party know something?
The great river flows eastward: [Yes]
Su Tinglu was even more puzzled. The other party had stones and a workbench, so why didn't they make a flint and steel?
She asked, "Do you have a workbench?"
The other party replied quickly, clearly also in a hurry: [Yes]
Su Tinglu tentatively asked, "Have you checked the tool table?"
Li Hai hurriedly walked to the workbench, which was empty. He tentatively placed a stone on it, but the workbench did not react.
The river flows eastward: [I've checked, and even put a stone in, but nothing happened.]
Su Tinglu was even more puzzled.
Logically, if the other party knows the prompts, the instructions for making a flint and steel should automatically appear.
Blank: [Are there usage tips next to the tool table?]
The Great River Flows East: [There's another hint? Didn't the system just say that this game doesn't offer any hints?]
Su Tinglu remained silent.
Yes, the system said there were no prompts at the beginning of the game.
How was she able to see the notification?
Could this be her own cheat code? Is she the only one on the entire server who can see these item notifications?
Great, she likes this cheat code!
Su Tinglu did not continue the topic.
Instead, they ask: "How many stones do you have?"
This was a rather offensive question, and unsurprisingly, it took the other party a long time to reply this time.
The river flows eastward: [You asked this because you want to...?]
Blank: [I'll tell you how to make a flint and steel. Use the materials you have left to make one for me. How does that sound?]
Upon seeing the message, Li Hai was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed.
With trembling fingers, I sent the message: [OK]
Hesitating for even a second longer is disrespectful to the flint and steel!
He never expected that the other party would know how to make a flint and steel!
Indeed, cooperation is more beneficial for survival than offending other players!
Su Tinglu immediately sent over what she knew.
She had actually considered the possibility that the other party might not make her a flint and steel after finding out the news.
But even if she hadn't told anyone, she didn't have a flint!
Because she didn't have a workbench at all.
Why not take a gamble? After all, the most important thing in cooperation is trust.
Survival is like the stock market; it's about finding a way to survive in the cracks of the A-share market.
