[Li X: Can anyone give me some food? I can do hard labor; I have plenty of timber on this coast.]
[Joe X: I also have a lot of wood; I can trade it for more.]
[Zhang XX: Everyone has wood, but I have plastic. I can trade plastic for it.]
[Sun XX: I'm short of timber, but I'm also short of food. Is there anyone kind enough to help me? I'm so thirsty and hungry.]
[Chen X: The person upstairs is dreaming. They expect something for nothing, they're probably a scammer.]
[Li XX: Yeah, everyone else trades with goods, and you're trading with words?]
[Li X: Exactly.]
...
That person didn't come out to explain or say anything more after that.
Lin Hu opened the person's profile and glanced at it. She was a quiet-looking girl with shoulder-length short hair and clear, bright eyes. She looked a little timid, but her eyes were very piercing.
Lin Hu anonymously listed some water for free, thinking it was up to fate. If the girl managed to snag it, he'd consider it saving her life for a day or two.
Little did he know how much anger this incident had provoked in the players who had just purchased water purifiers and were preparing to make a fortune.
After finishing his meal, Lin Hu got busy. He wanted to have his own house as soon as possible, because when he checked the time earlier, he noticed that the temperature was gradually dropping and might drop rapidly later.
The system hasn't indicated what the first natural disaster is yet. Judging from the temperature drop trend, it's highly likely to be an extreme cold or snow disaster.
Lin Hu needs to finish building the house as soon as possible. Even if it's not extremely cold or there's a snow disaster, if it rains, gets scorching hot, or you catch a cold or suffer from heatstroke, it's no joke if you don't have medicine.
Lin Hu enlarged the raft to 20x15 according to the size of the house. The wooden house actually only occupies 6.5x5.5, but now he has two more plots of land, each of which takes up the space of four planks of his planks. He needs a place to put these three plots of land, and they need to be placed together so as not to affect the aesthetics or his mood.
Finally, it was decided to place the selected house in the very center of the raft, and then put the three plots of land slightly to the right behind the house, so that a trellis could be built there to grow a grape arbor and a rocking chair underneath.
[Ding! Confirm your accommodation in room type 33? No changes are allowed within 20 days of accommodation!]
Lin Hu: "Confirmed!"
He will soon be a homeowner.
After the ruins were placed, a pile of rubble three meters high appeared, with a 24-hour countdown timer displayed on it.
Lin Hu had no choice but to find something else to do. He built a wooden fence around the raft using a workbench, leaving an entrance on the left side. This would be the exit he would use to disembark from the raft when he encountered an island in the future.
Although he could fly directly, he should leave an entrance for Duan Linzhou.
This fence can't protect against any attacks, but it looks safe and beautiful. If I had the means, I would plant a rose bush just like the one around my old home.
This is probably the only thing he can remember.
Since the cabin isn't finished yet, I'll have to make do on the beanbag chair for the rest of the night.
During this time, Duan Linzhou triggered a serendipitous quest. While Duan Linzhou was doing the quest, Lin Hu went to the island, took out a peach, broke it in half, and removed the pit.
[Ding! You have obtained a plantable peach pit! Planting it will yield a peach tree full of beautiful peach blossoms and delicious peaches!]
Lin Hu knew it was a good idea. He put the peach flesh back in his backpack, planted the peach pit, and then opened the island upgrade on the 1097 system interface.
[Ding! Player meets the upgrade requirements for the Hidden Paradise Island. Upgrade now?]
"Yes!" Lin Hu confirmed, and a second later the black mist receded, revealing a large mountain.
There are many trees in the mountains, and the spring that was originally a pond has become a stream flowing down from the mountains, extending to the edge of the island before turning and extending into the black mist.
That's amazing.
[1097: The host can now directly view all situations on the island through the system panel, and can also purchase items in the system shop. Purchases require crystal cores, so the host should work hard to develop the island!]
Lin Hu: "Don't worry, I'll work hard for my retirement without you having to urge me."
Lin Hu put the rabbit from his backpack into the mountains, placed the chicken under a pear tree and built it a burrow, and threw the crayfish directly into the Lingquan River.
Then I took another look at the cave that 1097 mentioned. The entrance was a cave similar to an air-raid shelter. It was a double, heavy iron door, but since Lin Hu was the owner, it automatically opened to both sides when he placed his hand on the door.
Lin Hu stood outside and looked inside. It was dark and empty. His voice echoed. It was practically bare. The space was about the size of a bird's nest. He looked like an ant, a tiny figure in the vast space.
Lin Hu anonymously traded two types of blueprints—a wooden frame and an iron frame—in the regional chat area, using a roast duck and a beggar's chicken.
After reading the two blueprints, Lin Hu made a large number of wooden frames. The warehouse was huge. After Lin Hu walked in, an almost transparent barrier automatically appeared around his body and enveloped him.
Lin Hu thought that time was frozen in the warehouse, so this barrier must be protecting him from being restricted.
Without much thought, he first set up the wooden frame he had made. The frame was quite tall, but no matter how high it was, he could still reach the things.
Because there weren't many iron blocks, he had to put the iron frame aside for the time being and make it later when he had more materials.
He left most of his supplies in the warehouse, keeping only weapons, nutrient solution, two roast ducks, two beggar's chickens, and a peach on his person before returning to the raft.
It was already eight o'clock when things calmed down, and Lin Hu was finally able to relax. He lay on the beanbag chair, bored and could only watch other people chat.
