Chapter 7 Team Formation
This is amazing! Luo Qing never expected the difference between level two and level three to be so significant.
[Ding— Congratulations to player Luo Qing for upgrading the raft to level three and unlocking the workbench function.]
A workbench has appeared at the bottom corner of the system screen.
Luo Qing clicked to view it with curiosity and anticipation, then pouted and said, "Isn't this just a merge game?"
You can synthesize a new item by using a certain amount of resources.
For example, 30 iron nails can be combined into an iron block, and 10 iron blocks can be combined into an iron rod. Each combination consumes 5% to 10% of the same resources.
The system is so greedy! With such a high synthesis fee, why doesn't it just rob us?! Luo Qing already felt the pinch before even starting the synthesis.
With the three-tiered raft, Luo Qing, who couldn't swim, barely dared to stand on it.
She looked around, wishing there was a fence around the edge. That way she could walk on the raft with peace of mind.
The system shows that upgrading the raft to level four requires 460 pieces of wood, 480 nails, 16 pieces of cloth, and one space expansion stone.
"Space Expansion Stone?" This was the first time Luo Qing had heard of it; it sounded like something that wouldn't be easy to obtain.
"Sister, you can't get that. It's only available through the system and is given as a reward to players." Fufu knew what it was, but unfortunately, she couldn't get it either.
Luo Qing sighed softly; it seemed that the raft wouldn't be able to be upgraded anytime soon.
Since that's the case, she'll sell the remaining gold feed tomorrow and use the money to build a fence around the area.
At eight o'clock sharp, the familiar golden button popped up again. Luo Qing's heart raced, and her eyes sparkled with anticipation.
[Ding— Congratulations to player Luo Qing for winning one Island Stone!]
A stone, enveloped in white light, floated toward Luo Qing. She reached out and carefully caught it. The white light dissipated after the stone landed.
Luo Qing stared wide-eyed at the small island stone in her hand. The stone was irregularly shaped, its surface covered with delicate textures, as if hiding endless secrets. She gently stroked the stone, and could even feel the faint warmth emanating from it.
[Small Island Rock: Allows up to four people to visit the island and stay for 8 hours. The island is randomly selected.]
Luo Qing was stunned by this sudden surprise.
[Ding—Good morning, players! This is your beloved system. I'm sure you all had a wonderful day. To celebrate your happy days, the game has decided to launch an Island Conquest Tournament in three days. Teams of four will compete, and the top performers will receive a mystery grand prize!]
An electronic voice awakened Luo Qing's brain.
Island Conquest? Luo Qing could already imagine the terrifying scene that would unfold when hungry humans, unrestrained by laws, gathered together.
It's likely that quite a few people will die in this island battle for supremacy.
Luo Qing pursed her lips. She decided to form a team of three to go to the island to gather supplies in preparation for the island competition three days later. After all, the island stone could only be used once, and it would be too wasteful for one person to go alone.
Luo Qing opened the system's chat channel and glanced at it. Most players were exchanging yesterday's gains and today's plans, while some were forming teams and looking for partners.
Oh, and some people are even marveling at how effective the golden feed is, their boasts making Luo Qing think she'd bought an advertisement.
Luo Qing thought Mu Qimeng was good; she was intelligent, knew how to assess situations, and could be the group's strategist.
"Mu Qimeng, are you interested in joining my group? I can take you to the island to collect supplies to prepare for the island competition in three days."
After sending the message, Luo Qing continued to browse the chat area looking for teammates.
This Mo Ming seems quite good; he's a talented person.
His speeches were brief and powerful, revealing a sense of composure and decisiveness. Luo Qing recalled that yesterday he had shared his experience of capturing a large level-two monster in the channel, causing quite a stir. Mo Ming seemed to possess rich survival experience and excellent hunting skills, which would undoubtedly be invaluable for the upcoming island championship.
Luo Qing messaged him privately, "Have you formed a team yet? If you'd like to join my team, I can take you to the island to collect supplies to prepare for the island championship in three days."
"If you are willing to stay in my group, I will not charge you for the trip to the island, and I promise to take you with me in the future."
Just then, a new message notification flashed on the screen. Luo Qing eagerly clicked to view it, and saw Mu Qimeng's message appear before her eyes.
[Mu Qimeng]: "Of course I'm interested! I look forward to exploring the island with Miss Luo. I'm willing to give you half of the harvested supplies as a reward."
A hint of praise flashed in Luo Qing's eyes. This Mu Qimeng was indeed very intelligent. Since she could produce golden feed and small island stones, she was naturally no ordinary person.
"I don't need that much. After all, we'll be working together later. Just give me one-fifth."
“However, if you’re willing to stay in my group, I can offer you a free membership.” Luo Qing extended an olive branch.
They haven't replied yet; they're probably still considering it.
"Of course I would love to stay in Miss Luo's group, but I also have my own subordinates, so I have to decline..." Mu Qimeng said that she had subordinates to manage and could not continue to stay in Luo Qing's group.
"It's alright. Boss Mu is a natural leader, and I can understand that." A hint of regret flashed in Luo Qing's eyes, but she still expressed her understanding gently.
Mo Ming replied, "I have another friend. Although he's not as strong as me, he's a great cook. Can we take him with us? He's also willing to follow the rules and hand over a portion of his winnings as payment." Mo Ming was a little embarrassed.
Luo Qing thought for a moment. The group was just one person short, and since Mo Ming was willing to bring his friend along, it meant that he had complete trust in this friend.
“Sure, you can all join in. But let me make this clear: if I find anyone breaking the rules, I will immediately kick them out of the group,” Luo Qing replied.
Mo Ming was clearly grateful for Luo Qing's understanding, and he immediately replied, "Don't worry, we will definitely follow the rules. Thank you for giving us this opportunity."
Luo Qing created a group chat and added the other three people to it.
The next second, the group chat name was changed to "Flower Fruit Mountain First Squad".
Luo Qing: "We're heading to the island today, is everyone okay?"
Everyone said it was no problem.
"It's 8:15 in the morning now. Everyone, get ready. We'll set off at 8:30."
"receive."
"receive."
"okk".
Luo Qing found Fufu, who was doing something in the shed. "Fufu, your sister is going to the island with some brothers to collect supplies. Are you going with your sister or staying on the raft?"
Although the space stone can only take four people, if Fufu wants to go, she can go back to the space first and then come out when they arrive at the island.
The next second, Luo Qing was slightly taken aback; Fu Fu's answer was unexpected. She had thought that Fu Fu would choose to go on the adventure with her without hesitation, after all, Fu Fu had always relied on her. But at this moment, Fu Fu firmly stated that she wanted to stay on the raft.
Looking into Fufu's clear eyes, which shone with determination and expectation, Luo Qing suddenly realized that although Fufu was young, she had her own thoughts and courage. Perhaps she chose to stay on the raft because she wanted to protect Luo Qing's little home.
A warm feeling welled up in Luo Qing's heart. She gently hugged Fufu and said, "Okay, then you can stay on the raft. I'll be back as soon as possible."
