"Host, I've detected that it might rain tonight, so we need to prepare. It would be best to set up a shelter or something, so we don't get soaked on the raft tonight!"
While helping Lin Xue observe the world chat history on the boundary marker, the little dog urged her to hurry up and retrieve the box to find more supplies so that they could get through the rainy night perfectly.
"What? We've only been here a short time! Are we already going to experience the rainy season?"
It was truly a case of misfortunes never coming singly; Lin Xue never expected to face the troubles of rain so soon after arriving.
However, since the system said it would rain, it definitely will rain. It's always good to be prepared.

Congratulations to 6688 for winning...
It has to be said that retrieving boxes is a very stress-relieving activity. Besides exploring the world, Lin Xue enjoys retrieving boxes all the time.
This method of retrieving supplies feels a bit like opening a blind box.
No one knows what's inside the chests. The hardworking ones will have an easier time because they'll collect more chests and get more items.
Regardless of whether you need it or not, even items you don't need can be exchanged for other resources in the shop.
Once they find something useful, the survivors will quickly turn it into a finished product.
To prevent myself from being tempted to exchange the money for food in the system store.
Not everyone has Lin Xue's ability to eat both big fish and octopus tentacles.
[Congratulations to user 6688 for winning a bag of chili seeds!]
Congratulations to user 6688 for receiving 3 loaves of bread!
Congratulations to user 6688 for obtaining a beginner-level thatched hut blueprint x1
"Hey, I've found something good again!"
Lin Xue happily took the blueprint and looked at it, only to find that she didn't have enough materials to manufacture it yet.
[80 wooden planks, 80 bamboo, 20 hemp ropes, 80 thatch, 10 nails]
The required items weren't many; with what she had redeemed from the shop, she only needed about ten more ropes to start making them.
Knowing that it would rain that night, Lin Xue quickly added a lot more items to the mall.
The bottled water was quickly exchanged for enough hemp rope.
The materials were usually stored in the boundary marker space, but now that she had taken them out, there wasn't enough room on her raft. Lin Xue could only put the blueprints into the boundary marker as well, and then use her mind to drag them together.
The next second, the shape of a thatched hut appeared inside the boundary marker, while all other materials and blueprints disappeared.
Lin Xue clicked on the picture, then chose a spot on the raft and placed the rudimentary thatched hut there.
As expected of a rudimentary thatched hut, this place is really small.
The space inside can only fit a bed at most, and then two cabinets, and it will be full.
Lin Xue moved the important items into the thatched hut to prevent them from getting wet in the rain.
We haven't found any blueprints for the wooden bed yet, so we just made a makeshift bed on the ground, covered it with a thick layer of straw, and then used the cotton cloth we got over the past two days as a bed sheet.
Before it got dark, Lin Xue prepared a sumptuous dinner for herself.
Then he moved the boundary marker to his hut and started browsing world messages.
[1234: Could some kind-hearted brother or sister give me some water to drink? My child is dying of thirst!]
7876: One apple for ten bottles of mineral water. DM me if interested!
9562: Yao Yao, this is Zhang Haojie. Please contact me if you see this!
[Could some kind brother give me some food? I'm an excellent singer and dancer. If any kind brother gives me food, I can dance a song for you right away...]
It truly lives up to its name as a world channel; all sorts of things are posted on it.
From seeking a sugar daddy to posting a missing person notice.
From exchanging for overpriced goods to forming gangs and unions.
In short, Lin Xue was overwhelmed by the variety of messages she received.
"System, have you found any news about the original owner's mother?"
Lin Xue scrolled around for a while, but then felt dizzy and lightheaded, so she logged out of the world chat.
This kind of data analysis work still makes the system better. The chat history in the world channel is scrolling by so fast that she simply can't keep up with their pace.
If there's too much information piled up below, some of it will be blocked while she's scrolling through the page.
It's almost impossible to miss every single one.
In the end, all I could do was browse the online store and look for ways to exchange for the supplies I needed.
After watching for an unknown amount of time, she finally succumbed to sleepiness and fell asleep.
The little puppy squatted next to the boundary marker, stretching out its little paws and occasionally tapping the boundary marker twice.
Since we're just idling around anyway, our system is finding ways to have some fun, so that life doesn't get too peaceful.
Lin Xue was sleeping soundly at night when a loud clap of thunder woke her up.
It's raining outside, which is obviously not a good day! But 6688 has its own hut, so there's no need to worry about getting wet!
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw a piece of text flash in front of her. When she looked up, she found that the text had disappeared.
"Host, the world channel is in an uproar. Most survivors were unprepared. When the heavy rain comes, they can only stay on the rafts and face the baptism of rain and lightning!"
"Right now, rain gear like tarpaulins, raincoats, and umbrellas are being sold at exorbitant prices in the shop. I remember when you were gathering supplies, you also managed to get an umbrella. If you sell it now, you should be able to get a good price!"
Seeing that Lin Xue had woken up, 629 told her what he had discovered.
"Hopefully we can get more supplies in return. If we wait until the rain stops, it will be much harder to make this dirty money again!"
Lin Xue retrieved the umbrella she had previously retrieved from her spatial storage; it was a large umbrella meant for three people to share.
If this is propped up, it should be able to block a lot of rainwater.
[Item for Sale: Large umbrella, mid-quality, priced at 30 hemp rope + 30 bamboo + 5 nails! A large umbrella that can shield you from wind and rain; having it is like having a small haven!]
"I didn't expect the ocean system to write such a good introduction. If I hadn't sold this umbrella, I might have been tempted by it myself!"
[Ding! Order successfully purchased. Your large umbrella has been sold. Congratulations to 6688 for winning 30 pieces of hemp rope, 30 pieces of bamboo, and 5 nails!]
After retrieving the items into the boundary marker space, Lin Xue peeked outside and saw that on the vast sea, lightning in the sky resembled silver snakes slicing through the void.
It would occasionally crash against the sea, making those who watched tremble with fear.
If she hadn't had a hut to shelter her, she might have faced the double ordeal of lightning and torrential rain, just like the other survivors.
Fortunately, she had a system reminder, which prevented her from experiencing a visual feast that felt like being there in person as if she were undergoing a tribulation.
