[Wen Bozhi: Thanks, brother. I'll treat you to some beer when it's ready.]
[Duan Linzhou: Okay.]
[Wang Fuqing: My good brother is in my heart.]
[Duan Linzhou: Hmm.]
[Wen Mofei: Aunt Jiang told me you're on someone else's raft now. Where's your own raft?]
[Duan Linzhou: I don't know.] Duan Linzhou genuinely didn't know.
[Wen Mofei: 6]
[Duan Linzhou: I'm going to eat. If you're not going to eat, give it back.]
[Wen Mofei: I won't disturb your enjoyment any longer.]
"What did you say to your aunt and uncle? They all came to thank me." Lin Hu chuckled as he closed the chat and turned to ask Duan Linzhou.
"It's nothing, just say you made it, it's delicious, let them eat more." Duan Linzhou talked nonsense, picked up the bowl and started eating.
Whether it was hunger or the food was truly delicious, every dish perfectly tantalized his taste buds.
While the two were eating, the puppy lay on the other side of the stool, drinking milk from a fruit bowl.
After they finished eating, the two of them cleaned up together. Luckily, the dishwasher had a large capacity, otherwise they would have had to wash the pots and pans by hand.
After putting the pots and pans into the dishwasher and starting it, some people swept the floor and others wiped the table.
By the time they had finished their work, the raft had reached the vicinity of the island marked on the map.
Lin Hu made two coats and two scarves from the bear skin he had previously made, and he and Duan Linzhou each made one before setting off to explore the island.
Considering there's a puppy at home, I have no choice but to keep it locked up while it's sleeping.
After arriving on the island, the two decided to split up. Lin Hu went to the right and Duan Linzhou went to the left. They agreed to meet back at 5 p.m. and then go back to the raft to observe the situation on the island at night before deciding on their next move.
"1097, do you think there's any way to sell the island's vegetables without leaking the seeds?"
Lin Hu had been thinking about this problem for a long time, because he had already stockpiled a lot of vegetables in his warehouse, while there were still many people who had neither land nor food to grow and were starving, relying on the trading system to keep themselves from starving.
There weren't many people selling food in the market; most of them had no surplus grain.
Although Lin Hu has a lot of inventory, he will not allow himself to make a loss-making deal now.
[1097: Once the host upgrades the secluded paradise to level four, the island will be able to defend against malicious people.]
"How exactly do you plan to defend against this?" Lin Hu asked, somewhat curious.
[1097: Hehe, host, you can try letting someone with bad intentions come to the island, and you'll see.]
1097 kept it a secret, but Lin Hu could guess that at best the opponent would be seriously injured, and at worst, the opponent would die.
Lin Hu is now eager to upgrade to level four. He has enough experience to upgrade now, and he only needs 7 crops and 2 animals to upgrade. He should be able to collect them all during this exploration.
After walking for a while, Lin Hu found a three-meter-tall persimmon tree, but there was a black snake coiled on the tree. The snake was so big that it almost bent the persimmon tree.
Lin Hu observed from a distance and was able to confirm that the snake was venomous, as its scales appeared to be very hard.
Lin Hu looked at the anesthetic arrow he had prepared. The arrowhead was very sharp, but he wasn't sure if it could pierce through.
Lin Hu initially thought the snake was sleeping, but upon closer inspection, he realized it wasn't; the snake was blind in one eye. The blind eye was facing directly in his direction, which led Lin Hu to misunderstand.
Suddenly, Lin Hu had an idea. He drew his bow and aimed it at the snake's blind eye. With a "whoosh," the bow was drawn taut and pierced the snake's eye.
The snake coiled up in pain, its force so great that it snapped the persimmon branch it was wrapped in and dropped it to the ground. After thrashing about a few times, it angrily raised its head, stuck out its tongue, and began to hiss as it explored its surroundings, trying to find the person who had attacked it.
Lin Hu had already flown high into the air, his toes lightly touching the leaves, his hand still holding a bow, the arrow aimed at the snake.
He was waiting for the anesthesia to take effect. If the anesthesia from one arrow wasn't enough to bring it down, then he could quickly find an opportunity to shoot the arrow in his hand.
After about ten seconds, the snake began to slow down and kept shaking its head, indicating that the medicine was taking effect.
After the snake finally fainted, Lin Hu did not rush forward. Instead, he shot an arrow close to the snake's body. Seeing that there was no reaction, Lin Hu then dared to go down.
Taking advantage of the snake's unconsciousness, Lin Hu pulled out an axe and chopped at the snake's vital spot.
[Ding! Congratulations to player 8848 for successfully hunting a level 2 mutated beast, obtaining a level 2 crystal core, a snake skin, and a bottle of low-level venom.]
It turned out to be a level 2 mutated beast; no wonder it was so easy to take down.
For Lin Hu now, killing level one and two mutated beasts is easy, but level three might be a bit difficult.
After confirming the reward, Lin Hu went straight to harvest the persimmons from the tree. The moment he touched the fruit, the system popped up a notification.
[Ding! Congratulations to player 8848 for obtaining a mutated persimmon, the favorite fruit of mutated snakes. A quest has been triggered: the player must successfully kill 10 mutated snakes within two hours.]
Lin Hu: Can I refuse? It might take him two hours to find the mutated snake.
Looking at the persimmons in his hand, he had an idea. However, the risk was a bit high, and he was afraid he couldn't handle it alone, so he opened Duan Linzhou's friend chat window.
[Lin Hu: How's the situation on your end?]
[Duan Linzhou: I'm alright. What's wrong? Is there a problem on your end?]
[Lin Hu: Yes, a quest has been triggered, and we need your help.]
[Duan Linzhou: Okay, send me the coordinates.]
[Linhu: 129, 11]
