[It's time to clock out, my lovely adventurers! You've had a long day, so get some rest!]
Lu Xingchen's backpack was full again. She piled her things on the raft and decided to take a good rest.
What a busy day!
After eating two whole-wheat European breads and drinking half a bottle of water, Lu Xingchen looked at the wound again. In just a short while, the wound on her ankle was almost healed.
She estimated that she could take a shower in less than an hour.
She was dirty all day today after digging in mines and chopping wood. It was a pity to waste her new sports suit.
Fortunately, her clothes from yesterday were dry and she could wear clean clothes soon.
Although she was very tired, Lu Xingchen just leaned on the bench for a while. She didn't want to dirty her clean and soft bed.
Wei Lin: "You're back? I traded 5 bottles of mineral water and 5 steamed buns for 200 iron nails. Just now, someone opened a box and got 100 iron nails. She wants to trade them for 3 instant noodles. Do you agree?"
Lu Xingchen: "Agree, let's exchange it, I'll give it to you!"
She must expand the raft to 100 meters today.
After giving the items to Wei Lin, Lu Xingchen received 300 iron nails. Her current supplies are as follows: 510 wood, 340 iron nails, 28 iron blocks, 7 strawberries, 1 roll of rope, 1 piece of floral fabric, 1 sandwich, 51 plastic bags, 3 whole wheat European-style breads, 3 packs of instant noodles, 1 bag of rice (2.5KG), 3 sea bass, 1 squid...
Her raft is only 30 meters long. To expand it to 100 meters, she needs 700 pieces of wood and 700 nails.
She is currently short 290 pieces of wood and 360 pieces of nails, which seems like quite a lot.
How about waiting two days before expanding?
The moment the thought crossed her mind, Lu Xingchen dismissed it. She realized that if she acted quickly enough, she might be able to obtain rare resources, such as her first time landing on the island and her first kill of a Tier 1 mutated beast.
But how do we replace the wood and nails?
Mineral water can be exchanged in 50ml units, but it’s hard to say for the others.
Oh, yes, watermelon!
What to do with the watermelons? Eat them and sell them, or keep the seeds so you can have new watermelons to eat soon.
She took out the watermelon, only to find that she didn't have a knife. With no other option, she washed the axe and carefully cut it open. She cut the first watermelon into eight relatively large slices.
One was given to Wei Lin, who helped her a lot today; one was given to Zhong Qiang, who often sent supplies to her, and she already regarded Zhong Qiang as her most loyal friend.
Wei Lin quickly sent a message: "It's delicious. I'll give you a [fruit knife] to cut it with. You can exchange the watermelon slices for wood and nails. Some people should be happy to do so."
He immediately explained, "Don't be fooled by the complaints in the chat room. There are quite a few people who are struggling. They don't lack those little pieces of wood and nails. If you ask for a higher price, your watermelon is big and can be divided into 32 pieces. Each piece has 10 pieces of wood or 10 nails. There will definitely be a lot of people who want it, hehe!"
Lu Xingchen also had this idea, but she only wanted to divide it into 24 pieces. Wei Lin was indeed darker than her.
Wei Lin: "Be bold in your pricing. Scarcity drives up prices. Your watermelon is one of a kind, so this price is normal!"
Lu Xingchen put away the fruit knife and tried to cut the rest. Before she could say anything, Wei Lin started showing off in the chat channel.
Wei Lin: "[Watermelon] is sweet and juicy, so delicious!"
"Holy crap, what am I seeing? A watermelon? Wei Lin, where did you get that?"
Gao Dafu: "Wow, it looks so sweet, my mouth is watering! Wei Lin, Wei Lin, you shrewd businessman, I know you have ulterior motives, give me a price!"
Wei Lin: "Hey, it's not mine. I just bought it. Lu Xingchen has it. You can go find her. But she may not sell it to you. She is not short of supplies."
Gao Dafu: "Lu Xingchen? I didn't see her selling herself? When did you get close to her... No, no, we got in touch."
Wei Lin: "Hehe, as the first player to land on the island and get the first kill, there must be good stuff. Of course I have to keep an eye on it. I only got this piece through hard work, using 30 pieces of wood and 30 nails. Lu Xingchen is so stingy, he keeps all the good stuff for himself!"
Gao Dafu: "That's right. It seems that Lu Xingchen always trades water, steamed buns, and bread for supplies. So she's been saving the good stuff for herself!"
Someone suddenly guessed: "Did Lu Xingchen find this watermelon on the island?"
