[Cheng Yuan: Boss, what do you need? Just tell me, of course, within my capabilities.]
[Lin Hu: If you have any good items, you can trade with me first, and the price will be fair.]
[Cheng Yuan: Of course.]
After verbally agreeing, Lin Hu immediately sent over the duck carcass.
Cheng Yuan realized that among all the people he was trading with, Lin Hu's supplies were the best. Although he knew that the other party was definitely hiding something, he would be wise not to ask too many questions about such an easy-going customer.
It's a mutually beneficial arrangement; in a sense, they can be considered partners.
Lin Hu watched the water boil, then put the rice noodles and seasoning packet into the pot, and took out a roast duck and a beggar's chicken.
Duan Linzhou happened to turn around and look at Lin Hu sitting in the middle of the raft. He saw that the man was sitting on a small stool and hitting a large mud ball on the ground with the handle of an axe.
After seeing that the thing on the cabinet was roast duck, Duan Linzhou realized that what Lin Hu had been knocking over looked like beggar's chicken, something his family had made before, and he remembered it.
He even suspected that this person was there for a picnic.
For now, let's fish for treasure chests, open them, and collect some resources. These can also be used to pay rent. After all, islands are not easy to find. If there are no islands, we can only wait half a month to land on one before we can kill mutated beasts and zombies and obtain crystal cores.
Halfway through typing, the Survival System's friend list popped up with an unread message icon. Lin Hu clicked on it and directly opened Cheng Yuan's chat box, which contained a voice message.
Cheng Yuan: "Holy crap! Bro, you're awesome! Your roast duck can actually restore health and stamina. I was just fighting seagulls to collect feathers for you, and I lost some health and stamina. But after eating the roast duck you gave me, guess what? It's completely restored!"
Hearing the excited voice on the other end, Lin Hu was also surprised. The system had just said there was a surprise.
Lin Hu tasted a piece of duck meat but didn't feel anything.
Is it because my stamina and health are at full capacity that it has no effect?
Lin Hu thought for a moment, then opened his personal information page and saw that nothing had changed.
Just as I was about to close the page, I glanced at it and noticed that my ability level had changed.
The ability level is divided into ten levels. It takes 200 points to upgrade from level one to level two; 500 points to upgrade from level two to level three; 1,000 points to level four; and 3,000 points to level five, which requires a large accumulation. More points are needed to upgrade after that.
Linhu is still at level one. The value that was previously displayed as 3/200 has now changed to 5/200.
Lin Hu immediately picked up his bow and arrow and aimed it at the "thief" seagull that had its back to him. With a whoosh, the seagull was killed before it could even react, and a silver treasure chest appeared in front of the seagull.
[Ding! Congratulations to player 8848 for triggering a serendipitous encounter: help the monkey trapped in the peach tree get down.] Below this message are three options: "Accept," "Decline," and "Save."
It's a bit like the online games he used to play for a while. He saves his game first, but now he wants to open the treasure chests first. Besides, where is he going to find monkeys in the middle of the night?
Lin Hu picked up the treasure chest and planned to open it along with the treasure chests he had obtained before. Some were system rewards, and some were brought over from the sea. Of course, he was most interested in the diamond treasure chest, since it was of a higher level!
First, turn on the Seagull one.
[Ding! Obtained 10 unmutated grape seeds and 5 cherry seeds from seagull droppings. Experience points...]
It seems to be a seagull that likes to eat fruit. I wish it could have some watermelon.
As Lin Hu thought this, he pulled the two silver treasure chests piled up to his side.
[1097: Host, this seed must be planted in the secluded paradise. Once you've planted more than five varieties on the island, it will level up to level 2. At that point, a mountain will be created, where you can raise animals, and the caves can even be used as storage! Plus, it won't spoil. You're worried about not having enough space in your backpack, right? You can store it in the cave.]
Lin Hu had heard 1097 mention that besides needing experience points, there were other requirements, and it seems that these are the requirements.
He instantly perked up. He would plant those two too later. Besides, everything that grows on the island has special effects, so he could cook then. But before that, he needed to get a dishwasher; he didn't like cleaning up messes.
Suppressing his excitement, he continued opening treasure chests, but a smile never left his face.
[Ding! Obtained 1 low-level wooden table blueprint, 20 meat buns, 3 cans of bayberry juice, 3 bubble teas, 40 wood, 1 medium-level iron block, experience points...]
It's not a bad deal to get these from the two silver treasure chests. Lin Hu took out a jar of bayberry juice and drank it.
Then another golden treasure chest opened, containing a 1.5x2.0 blanket, and one hundred disposable toothbrushes and toothpaste.
If it weren't for the 80 more pieces of wood behind it, Lin Hu would have suspected that this was a treasure chest for everyday necessities.
Finally, he took the two diamond treasure chests to his feet, bowed to them, and opened them with reverence.
[Ding! Congratulations to player 8848 for obtaining 2x2 Advanced Black Soil x1! A fully automatic toilet system! Experience points...]
[Ding! Congratulations to player 8848 for obtaining 1 fully automatic washing machine! 1 set of kitchen utensils! 3 sets of various colored ingredients! Experience points...]
Lin Hu realized that it was a life-saving treasure chest, not a survival treasure chest. He liked cooking, but there was no need to rush.
Duan Linzhou also took the treasure chest he had caught and opened it together. Looking at the pile of things Lin Hu had opened, he remained indifferent on the surface, but he was actually dumbfounded.
If there really are such lucky people, why didn't he hear about them in his past life?
After driving for a while, the two of them decided to have lunch.
"Your crystal core flower was worth it, wasn't it? The food here is top-notch, it's just that the accommodation is a bit lacking right now." Lin Hu raised his eyebrows and boasted, stuffing a roast duck into his mouth.
"Everything is fine." Duan Linzhou nodded lightly, a polite smile playing on his lips.
This accommodation is perfect; you can have both a breeze and a floor.
After dinner, the two built a simple wooden cabin. The cabin wasn't big, but you could stand up straight inside. They dragged in a beanbag chair and decided to make do and sleep together for the time being.
At night, Lin Hu quietly got up and quickly planted the seeds on the island.
