Ice Season: Day 31 at Sea 5
I saw the eggshells being pecked from the inside, and then the small holes gradually became larger, and I could see the chicken beak and yellow feathers inside.
After a long time, the first chick finally broke out of the shell completely.
Then one after another, a few chicks struggled to get out of the shell but couldn't. Yun Mianmian was anxious watching them, but she couldn't lend a hand to help, so she could only stand by and watch.
Finally, all nine eggs turned into chicks, but one did not move, perhaps it failed.
Yun Mianmian did not throw it away but kept it inside and planned to wait a little longer.
These chicks were too weak, so Yun Mianmian quickly packed them in a box and took them to a warmer place.
Next to the workbench was a good place.
There was a lot of dry grass in the wooden box to keep them dry and warm.
The chicks that had just hatched could eat softened millet, chick feed, or egg yolks and some vegetables.
Yun Mianmian was afraid of feeding them wrong, so she just softened the chick feed and put it in the wooden box, letting them eat by themselves.
There was a new life on the boat, and Yun Mianmian suddenly felt that the boat was lively.
She thought about it and went to check the chicken coop again.
There were eggs in it again!
Yun Mianmian excitedly took out five eggs, put them in the incubator, and then marked the unhatched egg so that she wouldn't make a mistake.
Could the rabbit be pregnant too?
Yun Mianmian thought it was very likely.
So she took the rabbit out of the cage and looked carefully at the female rabbit's belly. It seemed a little bigger. She didn't know if it was fat or had a baby.
Yun Mianmian decided to double the size of both the chicken cage and the rabbit cage.
But if the weather continues to get colder, they will definitely not be able to bear it.
Although Yun Mianmian can currently allocate two radiators here, one or two radiators will probably not be of much use over time.
We have to hurry up and find energy stones.
She looked at the boundless sea, the sea surface was extremely calm.
The ship was sailing southward, and snow was still falling. If Yun Mianmian's guess was true, there would probably be no fish in the sea when they reached the Antarctic continent.
She thought for a moment, then changed into a thick diving suit and prepared to go into the water.
Although the sea was freezing cold, Yun Mianmian drank a bowl of fish head soup before going into the water, so her body was still warm, so she could barely adapt.
And after eating, her physical strength can continue to recover for a while, so she won't be exhausted after swimming for a while.
Putting on the diving goggles, everything in the water can be seen clearly.
There are indeed fewer fish on the seabed than the last time Yun Mianmian went into the water.
There were many schools of fish before, but now they are gone.
Yun Mianmian carefully observed the area and decided to continue diving.
She held a spear gun in her hand, ready to fish at any time.
The corals and reefs on the seabed were still as beautiful as before, and some seaweeds and plankton were not affected. Yun Mianmian saw a large stingray.
It looked very big even a few meters away in the water. If it was pulled up, it would probably weigh several dozen kilograms.
Yun Mianmian was a little worried that she could not get it up, but there seemed to be no big fish nearby, so she decided to catch this one.
She took out the spear gun, first pulled the elastic rope, adjusted it to the maximum force, and then aimed at the body of the stingray and shot it.
The body of the stingray is very flat, but its tail is very thin and long. There is a venomous stinger with sawtooth on its tail. It is very poisonous. If you get stung by it, it will be terrible. Yun Mianmian took out a dagger from her backpack, dived down, and carefully cut off the part of its tail with the sting.
This way, she can rest assured.
But it is quite strenuous to get it up. Yun Mianmian is not ready to get it now. Anyway, it is on the tip of the spear gun and can't run away. The tip of the spear has already pierced its body.
Yun Mianmian plans to continue exploring.
Soon, she found a few more scallops and conchs.
This kind of deep-sea scallop tastes very delicious, and each scallop is as big as her palm, and there are even two that are bigger than her hand. They can be used to make steamed scallops with garlic.
She picked up a bag of scallops and conchs.
Yun Mianmian continued to swim forward. She could only swim near the hull and could not go too far. If she could not find any intelligent marine creatures, she would go up.
Just when Yun Yun Mianmian was about to give up, she finally heard a sound.
"It's so cold, we have to hide quickly."
"Will it be useful to hide deep in the sea?"
"It's useful, we can hide deep in the sea like dolphins."
It was a colorful pigfish and an ugly octopus talking.
The octopus and pigfish are both relatively intelligent and are smart among fish.
Yun Mianmian quietly went over to listen.
"The dolphins have already hidden themselves."
"Yes, yes, we still have time to go now."
"The sea water will freeze in a few days, and it will be even colder then."
"But my sister told me that the seabed is very dangerous, should we still go?"
"Dangerous? Why is it dangerous?"
They swam very fast, Yun Mianmian could not keep up, and she could not hear any more sound.
Although she was very curious and wanted to know what they said next, she could not keep up with them.
Yun Mianmian had to float to the surface.
Yun Mianmian climbed onto the boat while panting, grabbing the handrails of the boat.
It looked about 30 to 40 kilograms in the sea, but it turned out to be even bigger when it was dragged onto the boat.
And it is still alive after so long.
It has a very strong vitality.
Yun Mianmian took out a dagger and stabbed the stingray in the head, and then the stingray became a resource.
[Stingray Meat × 65]
So much stingray meat!
Yun Mianmian took out a portion of stingray meat and found that it was so big and heavy that she couldn't finish it all by herself.
If she ate it every day, the fish meat would be enough for her to eat for one or two months.
It seems that this trip to the sea is worth it.
Now she has enough meat food stored. Although vegetables may not be able to be grown in this season, the ones she saved before can be made into dried vegetables and preserved, which is enough to eat.
So she gave some to relatives and friends.
Luo Luo, Nie Yangguang, and Hu Yuan all received one.
And Rong Yu.
People say she is stingy, but now she proves that she is not!
Just now in the water, she heard the two fish say that the sea water will freeze. It seems that it will take only a few days.
Where should she go to find the energy stone.
Yun Mianmian still has no direction.
It was getting dark, and the day was about to end. Yun Mianmian decided to make chicken and rabbit cages first.
The space on the boat was big enough, and there was plenty of room. As long as the previous chicken coop drawing was slightly modified, a larger chicken coop could be made. The
rabbit coop was drawn by Yun Mianmian herself.
The cage was of medium size, and considering that the rabbit might be pregnant, Yun Mianmian made two more, which would make the space larger when put together.
She chose sturdy and durable white oak as the main material, added stones as the bottom, made a ladder on the inside, and put some dry grass.
Although it was an original design, it turned out quite well.
Yun Mianmian thought that maybe she would be good at being a carpenter in the game in the future.
The rabbits became more lively after being put in. They had no room to move around in the narrow bamboo cage.
The rabbit cage and the chicken cage were squeezed together, so Yun Mianmian had no choice but to use a radiator to keep them warm.
When sleeping at night, she could take the radiator on the workbench to the bedroom, and the chickens were kept next to the radiator next to the rare land.
After making all the arrangements, Yun Mianmian had time to rest.
She took out some food she had stored before and opened the chat channel again.
"There are a lot of skill books released recently. I saw a lot of people opening skill books today."
"There are a lot of blueprints too. The blueprints in the trading center are not that expensive anymore. It seems that the system has become generous all of a sudden."
"Speaking of which, why doesn't Yunmianmian's trading center update its products? I wanted to buy something today, but found that many things were out of stock."
"They must have been bought up by novice players. They all need those basic survival supplies."
"My parents have also come to the game, but my mom and I are in the same zone, and my dad went to another zone. I don't know what the situation is in other zones. The environment in our three zones is still pretty good. It would be nice if we could all be in one zone."
"Of course not. Let alone other things, our three zones at least have one piece of warm clothing."
"When will the major zones be merged..."
"Don't do that. I don't want to compete with other districts. Life is not going well now."
Yun Mianmian didn't want to merge with the servers either, but it would be nice to be able to communicate so that they could know the situation in other districts, share information, and everyone could talk to their families.
Merging with the servers means more intense competition. At least now Yun Mianmian feels that she is not strong enough.
She couldn't even beat the guy she met in the last experiment on the deserted island.
At least in the next competition, she wants to make herself stronger.
Rong Yu might have just finished his work, and when he received the meat sent by Yun Mianmian, he sent a message back.
"Forget about the meat. It's not delicious even if I cook it."
"Give it to me when you make it, and I'll exchange supplies with you."
Yun Mianmian thought to herself, she's quite a planner!
"You do it yourself. You need to practice more to become a good cook."
She happened to have something to ask Rong Yu, so she said, "I have a good thing here. You must need it. I want you to help me make ten weapons, and I will give it to you."
[Steel Quenching Knowledge Encyclopedia]
"I can also provide the steel billets needed to make high-end weapons. I can trade with you first."
Rong Yu knew Yun Mianmian's profiteer nature a long time ago.
Ten weapons in exchange for an item that adds forging skill points.
It's not an exaggeration to say that Yun Mianmian is asking for a lot.
But she really has a hold on him. He really wants this thing.
That's quenching!
Quenching can significantly improve the strength, hardness and wear resistance of metal products!
It's what he needs most now!
The weapons he makes now can only be considered medium, or even ordinary.
Of course, in the eyes of other players, he was already very powerful. After all, they only had axes and machetes as weapons. They would think that an ordinary sword in the trading center was very good.
But Rong Yu was not satisfied. After learning forging, he came into contact with the fact that making weapons was so complicated, and the process was not something that laymen could imagine.
As the saying goes, laymen see the excitement, while experts see the doorway.
He had just come into contact with the beauty of forging.
Yun Mianmian took out Quenching to trade with him at this time, and he had no way to refuse.
What's more, after learning, his forging skills can be increased again. Although it is only a few points, it is enough for him to upgrade to intermediate forging.
He forges every day, but it is difficult to increase a point.
It seemed very exaggerated to exchange ten weapons for one of these, but Rong Yu gritted his teeth and agreed.
Ten weapons.
Yun Mianmian probably wouldn't let him make them all at once, but would squeeze him slowly.
Looking at the entire three districts, there was probably no one who could produce two high-level weapons.
Yun Mianmian wanted him to make ten.
Rong Yu felt that even the term "scoundrel" could not describe Yun Mianmian's temperament.
But he had to agree.
After all, she could even provide the steel billets!!!
Yun Mianmian asked calmly, "What do you think?"
Rong Yu: "Yeah."
He was always taciturn. Even though he had a lot to say, he still felt that it was unnecessary, since they had to change anyway.
Yun Mianmian knew it would be successful.
"Then let's sign an agreement."
Having been in business for so long, she was already very good at making agreements and contracts.
She quickly wrote an agreement from the system, requiring Rong Yu to unconditionally help her make ten weapons after receiving the [Steel Quenching Knowledge Encyclopedia] she provided. The materials and styles of the weapons were to be in accordance with her requirements, and the materials would be provided by Rong Yu.
After Rong Yu read the agreement and chose to agree, the agreement came into effect.
Yun Mianmian: "OK, do you have any good weapon blueprints now? Or, can you design your own weapons?"
Yun Mianmian guessed whether after the forging skill is upgraded, it will be possible to design, draw and make weapons by yourself, just like the advanced workbench.
After all, after the gathering skill is upgraded, it becomes stronger.
Rong Yu: "Not at present."
Yun Mianmian noticed the word "at present".
"Then can you upgrade it after adding some points with this?"
Rong Yu: "...Yeah."
I know it.
Yun Mianmian quickly said: "Then you should try it quickly and see if there are any changes."
-
After the forging skill is upgraded to the intermediate level, a new strengthening and beautification skill is added.
Rong Yu can process basic weapons to make them more powerful, add patterns, and make handles that feel better.
Previously, weapons were basically made of iron blocks, with bronze and iron ore being used less frequently, so better weapon blueprints were needed.
Now he can use a variety of materials to synthesize and process them into weapons. He
only needs to adjust the materials on the basic blueprints, and finally process them by hand to make stronger weapons.
Or he can directly use advanced weapon blueprints to make them, which is even simpler.
Without advanced weapon blueprints, he has to rely on his own craftsmanship.
After reading the system's introduction, Rong Yu replied to Yun Mianmian: "If you have any better weapon blueprints, you can bring them to me and explain your needs clearly, and we can modify and process them. If you need to beautify the appearance, it's best if you draw a picture yourself."
Yun Mianmian understood.
Yun Mianmian wanted a sword that was more convenient to use. The bronze swords she had were too heavy, so she thought she could replace them with T-steel ones, which would definitely be better.
But she didn't know what she wanted.
She had to think about it and look for better drawings.
"Okay, I'll give it to you as soon as possible."
After closing the dialog box, Yun Mianmian first sent a message in the chat channel, asking for sword weapon drawings.
Then she opened the mall. She had seen knives for sale in the mall before, so she planned to go and take a look, find some inspiration, and buy something. She had so many Starfish Coins in her hand, and she had been wanting to go shopping for a long time.
-The
things in the mall have been updated again.
Yun Mianmian hadn't opened it for a long time, and she saw that there were several more categories in it, and there were even books, which were sold at a very expensive price.
Yun Mianmian's "Planting Guide" and "Survival Manual" are also in there.
They sold for 100 Starfish Coins each.
You can still see the sales volume now.
Someone bought a planting guide.
There are very few people who can spend 100 Starfish Coins, and Yun Mianmian is only one of the people on the list.
Yun Mianmian was amazed.
But soon she saw the books she also wanted to buy - "The Basics of Sewing Basics" and "Easy Introduction to Clothing Cutting and Sewing",
which cost 150 Starfish Coins.
According to the introduction, if she buys one of the books, she can learn to sew simply with a sewing machine, and if she buys two books, she can learn to make clothes.
Last time, she asked someone else to help her make a waterproof cloth jacket.
Although it's expensive, Yun Mianmian has plenty of Starfish Coins, so she'll add it to the shopping cart first.
She continued to flip through. There
's also the "Brewing Encyclopedia", which costs 400 Starfish Coins, but if it's the "Beer Craftsmanship" or the "Wine Encyclopedia", it only costs 200 Starfish Coins per book.
Knowledge is money. If she had known it before she came here, wouldn't she have saved money? Yun Mianmian only knows how to brew rice wine, and she understood it after learning cooking techniques, but more advanced brewing techniques require buying books to learn. In addition to these technical books, there are also many books on mathematics, physics, and chemistry. Yun Mianmian looked for a while, then switched to another category - weapons. Items in the weapon category were all gray and unlocked before. Now five weapons are unlocked. They are: basic Bowie hunting knife, basic Kanda sword, basic Tang Dynasty crossbow, basic backstab silver blade, basic hunting bow. Yun Mianmian's eyes lit up when she saw them. Although they are all basic models, they can all be processed and optimized. There are no patterns on each model, only the most basic blade, not even a handle, and it must be handed over to players with forging skills to complete. This is what Yun Mianmian wants! But Yun Mianmian didn't know enough about these weapons, so she had to look at the introduction of each weapon in detail and choose the one that suits her best. Of course, she also wanted to get them all, but the price was too expensive. The price of any one of them is not less than three thousand Starfish Coins. Although Yun Mianmian could afford it, she couldn't afford to spend it. After learning the result, Yun Mianmian wanted all of them even more. The system is really a rip-off. Such good things came while she had more Starfish Coins. If she couldn't afford it before, Yun Mianmian might not have wanted all of them. Bowie hunting knife is a versatile knife. It is not only suitable for fighting and attacking, but also for survival in the wild, felling trees, cutting ropes, and even cutting vegetables.
It's similar to the dagger Luo Luo gave her.
But that one doesn't have much room for improvement, it can only be said to be usable, but if you buy this basic Bowie hunting knife and give it to Rong Yu, it can be modified to be more perfect and more offensive.
But in fact, Yun Mianmian likes that dagger very much. It has been with her for a long time, and it was a gift from Luo Luo.
It's better to buy something different.
As for the Kanda sword, it is suitable for slashing, and can be used with one hand or two hands. The blade is extremely sharp and suitable for close combat. A strong chop can even split a pig in half.
The backstab silver blade can cause high damage instantly.
The Tang Dynasty horizontal sword looks low-key, but it is actually very domineering. The blade is very long and can be used for both slashing and stabbing. It can kill a person every ten steps and leave no trace in a thousand miles. This sword is what it means.
The basic model of this sword looks very simple, but Yun Mianmian was very tempted by the fact that it was sold at such a high price and the introduction was also very domineering.
The most expensive of the four weapons is the Tang Dynasty horizontal sword.
After thinking about it, Yun Mianmian decided to choose the Tang Dynasty horizontal sword. You get what you pay for, and the system will definitely not mark the price randomly.
It's more expensive, it's more expensive, you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing the lamb!
It's you!
Yun Mianmian bought it directly and spent 4,000 Starfish Coins in one go.
It's really a luxurious weapon that she spent a lot of money on.
After buying it, it has to be handed over to Rong Yu for processing.
Yun Mianmian was afraid that after giving it to him, he would roll up the knife and escape. What if he damaged such an expensive knife?
Although the possibility is not great, Yun Mianmian still drafted another agreement.
Rong Yu fell silent after receiving the agreement.
"Does it mean that if you are not satisfied with what I made, I have to compensate you for a new one?"
Yun Mianmian: "No, I just want to be on the safe side."
"The same meaning."
Yun Mianmian: "Then I can't help it if you say so."
Rong Yu laughed angrily.
Isn't this what it means in black and white?
Yun Mianmian: "The main reason is that I spent a lot of money to buy this knife. You see, you can also increase your proficiency by making it. Absolutely. It's a rare opportunity to have such a good knife handed over to you for processing."
Yun Mianmian was not talking nonsense. Rong Yu was also very excited when he saw this knife.
If he had so many starfish coins, he would buy it, but he couldn't afford it.
But if he made a bad one, he couldn't afford to pay for it.
