Chapter 52 Return to the Raft, Mermaid Levels Up
Receiving the seeds of the Thousand-Thread Vine was a truly unexpected and delightful surprise.
Thank you for my intuition, and thank you for trusting my intuition.
If cultivated properly, the Thousand-Thread Vine can definitely be a great help in guarding your home.
This game system is unpredictable; it might come in handy in the future.
She has one hour left. She can use that time to gather some of the remaining plants and take them back.
She filled in the pit and returned along the same route she had come from.
Another hour passed, and the time limit for landing on the island was up. Shen Jue had just dug out the plant and hadn't even had time to put it in his backpack when he was teleported back to the raft along with the plant.
Looking at the familiar raft, she felt so good to be back; it gave her a sense of home.
Unbeknownst to her, the raft held an increasingly important place in her heart, and every time she went to the island, it was as if she were risking her life on the outside.
As her life got better and better, she was filled with anticipation for a bright future.
Therefore, after returning to the raft, Shen Jue immediately collected supplies.
During the time she was away, Fishing Rod collected a total of 18 boxes, which were all stacked in one area.
There was one gold box, four purple boxes, and the rest were all ordinary white boxes.
She shouldn't open the box right away; her backpack was full, so she needed to check quickly to see if she had any materials to expand it.
She has a total of 160 storage compartments.
The backpack was packed full of items.
One trip is not enough.
The construction of a warehouse needs to be put on the agenda.
Recently, she has accumulated a lot of wood, which allows her to expand her raft.
She plans to build two storage rooms, one for cold storage and one for general storage.
First, expand the raft, then plan the area.
Shen Jue: [Consuming 4,000 units of wood, expand the raft's area.]
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire raft suddenly gained 400 square meters of space.
Adding to the existing blank space, Shen Jue used 3,000 pieces of wood and 3,000 pieces of iron to build two 200-square-meter storage rooms.
The total construction progress reached 5342, successfully unlocking the eighth-level construction zone.
The anonymous announcement from the game system sparked another round of small-scale chat.
Shen Jue didn't care about that. She wanted to build a cold storage room, which required an ice maker, and ice makers were crafted in the level four crafting zone.
Currently, she is still stuck in the level 3 crafting area, with a few cold weapons, some furniture, and the untouched pharmaceutical area.
Once she finishes making these, she will be able to unlock the Level 4 crafting area.
We haven't received the blueprints for construction yet; we have to take it one step at a time and can't rush it.
She can't build an ice machine right now, so she has to put it aside and organize the items in her backpack and store them in the warehouse.
After she finished doing all this, the storage room was completely full. There was also a lot of space freed up in the backpack compartments.
There are a lot of basic supplies, so we can't put them in the storage room. Backpack compartments are more space-saving.
All the handmade food she had made was stored in the storage room, with a designated area for it. Then she arranged the other supplies.
After sorting everything out, Shen Jue kept only a few weapons and some basic emergency medicines.
After finishing all that, Shen Jue finally had the mind to open the box.
The item that came out of the golden chest was a sword technique manual. Learning it would increase your combat power. Skillful attacks are always better than just hacking around randomly.
The purple box contained 2 free attribute points, a longbow, an apple, and a potion of unknown function.
Shen Jue allocated her attribute points to Luck, and what interested her most was apples.
The fruit that comes out of the purple box must be different in some way.
Because this apple was of a different quality than the others, the game system didn't place it in the same slot as the other regular apples. Instead, it was placed in its own slot, which made it easier for Shen Jue to take it out and study it.
Without needing to confirm which one was the one that had been opened, a simple, ordinary apple appeared in her hand with a thought.
This apple looks no different from a regular apple; it has nothing unique about it.
The game system's description is only one sentence long.
This is a magical apple.
As for how magical it is, no details were provided.
Shen Jue still needs to verify this himself.
Since I haven't eaten breakfast yet, I might as well eat it before resting.
After eating the apple, I found it tasted pretty good. Even Shen Jue, who doesn't like apples, really enjoyed the taste.
If we were to discuss what changes occur in the body after eating an apple...
I feel my mind is clearer and my memory is stronger.
Besides, the fatigue after arriving on the island was completely swept away.
I'm full of energy now.
Shen Jue brought up the information panel.
You won't believe it until you see it, and what you find will shock you.
Attribute cap 60
Mental Strength: 35
Physical strength: 35
Endurance: 35
Physical condition: 35
Strength: 35
Speed: 35
Luck: 37
All attributes have been increased by ten points, and the attribute cap has been raised from 40 to 60.
I feel light as a feather and have inexhaustible energy.
Shen Jue was even thinking that if the golden treasure chest had given her a lightness skill, she could have mastered it on the spot and wouldn't need to sleep at all.
An improvement in strength is undoubtedly good news.
I'm full of energy now and don't need to sleep, so I can do other things.
Shen Jue took out the thank-you gift the little rabbit had given her; it was a locked wooden box.
An attempt at brute-force attack revealed that the small box remained intact regardless of whether it was chopped with a knife or hacked with an axe. Without the key, it cannot be opened.
Shen Jue had no choice but to put it away and instead set her sights on the Thousand-Thread Vine seeds she had brought back.
According to the introduction, planting seeds of the Thousand Silk Vine requires rare soil.
Very well, she doesn't have rare soil either.
It's okay, we can't use these two for now. She can still analyze the plants she picked.
It turned out that these plants were all herbs, perfectly matching the medicinal materials she needed in her pharmaceutical workshop. Furthermore, her manufacturing workshop could be fully unlocked to level three in one go.
Shen Jue was at the medicine-making table, manufacturing the medicine.
Pharmaceuticals are classified into ten levels. Levels one and two are very simple, consisting of hemostatic drugs, cold medicines, and painkillers.
What's interesting about the production process is that the final product of the medicine can be selected in three forms.
One form of pill; one form of powder; and one form of tubular medicine.
Different medicines are available in different forms, and therefore have different shelf lives.
For example, if you choose the powder form of a hemostatic drug, it comes in small packets.
In addition to these medicines, starting from level three, there are various attribute recovery agents.
Potions like stamina restorers, endurance restorers, potions that temporarily boost strength, and potions that have a chance to trigger temporary luck.
At that moment, she finished making all the medicines and obtained a total of 1 dose of hemostatic medicine, 1 dose of painkiller, 1 dose of cold medicine, and 1 dose of fever reducer.
