Ice Season: Day 35 at Sea 1
From a distance, it looks like a deserted island. It is not very large. Blue and white glaciers can be seen on the gray island.
The blue glaciers are of different depths and are very spectacular. There is a kind of quiet beauty.
Yun Mianmian can't see anything else except the glaciers.
Not to mention animals, there are no plants.
Yun Mianmian stood on the deck and looked around. She was getting closer and closer to the island.
There were a few lichens and mosses on the coast, but nothing else.
What can there be on this island?
Would it be a waste of an island landing card? What if there is nothing after going up?
But, is there such an island in the entire Antarctic continent? And a point on the mineral resource map is indeed very similar to this place.
Although it's not 100% certain, there is a high probability.
After hesitating for a while, Yun Mianmian decided to go to the island. She needed a lot of energy stones and iron ore.
She has been busy with construction recently, and the iron ore she found before has been used up. She is running out of supplies and must replenish her inventory quickly.
Yun Mianmian got up to make tools and saw an unopened treasure chest on the deck.
It was the silver treasure chest that Octopus Girl caught.
Yun Mianmian didn't have much expectation, but she still had to open it.
Maybe it was full of Octopus Girl's favorite food.
Yun Mianmian picked up the box and opened it.
[Pet sound toy × 1, molar crab × 1, whale bone × 1, wind chime × 1]
Yun Mianmian: ...
As expected!
Never let Octopus Girl fish for treasure chests again!
But when Yun Mianmian picked up these things, she found that there were still two useful things.
For example, whale bones and wind chimes.
[Whale bones: High elasticity and plasticity, can be used to process things into various shapes, and can be used as fertilizer after being ground into powder.]
[Wind chime: This is not an ordinary wind chime, this is a wind chime that symbolizes luck. Once it rings, good things will happen! Not only can it attract wealth but also keep you safe.]
As for the other two, they can only be given to Octopus Girl to play with. It is purely for her to fish for herself.
Since it is still working obediently, I will give it to her to play with.
Yun Mianmian hung the wind chime in her bedroom and put away the whale bone.
It was too late today, so she decided to go to bed early.
-The
next morning, Yun Mianmian got up and rolled the dice. It turned out that her luck was average today.
Yun Mianmian thought about it and decided to wait a day to see what her luck would be like tomorrow. If her luck was still average, she would still go to the island.
It just so happened that today she could make the tools she would take to the island tomorrow.
The sea was frozen, and it was really impossible to fish for treasure chests. The chat channel was full of wailing.
Yun Mianmian also tried it, but the ice on the sea was very thick and it was not easy to break it.
Yun Mianmian had to do other things first.
She took out the drawings of a small ore detector that she had collected for a long time.
This thing is finally going to come in handy.
Although it is small and can detect a small area, it is more convenient to hold and does not require much effort to hold.
[Small Ore Detector: Uses the magnetism of useful minerals in the ore to detect the location of the ore. It will make a beeping sound when it finds the ore]
[Required materials: Aluminum Ore × 5, Iron Ore × 15, Energy Stone × 5]
Another 5 energy stones are needed. Yun Mianmian is glad that she did not make all the energy stones into radiators the day before yesterday, otherwise where would she find energy stones now.
It takes an hour to make the detector, and Yun Mianmian has a quick meal.
Yun Mianmian took out the remaining half of the pot of pig's feet and ate it with Octopus Girl.
After such a boring breakfast, Yun Mianmian ate some fruit.
Octopus girl wanted to try everything she ate when she saw Yun Mianmian.
Yun Mianmian had no choice but to share a mango with her.
As a result, Octopus girl ate it and screamed.
"What a strange taste!"
She had never experienced such a sweet and sour taste before!
The more Octopus girl ate, the more she got addicted. Her eight tentacles kept moving around, as if she was dancing.
Yun Mianmian threw the two toys to her, "Play with them for a while to help you digest your food, and then continue to work."
Octopus girl had never played with toys before, so she was very curious and went to play with them by herself.
At this time, the workbench issued a prompt sound, and the detector was ready. Yun Mianmian hurried over to take it out and try it.
She put the iron ore on the first floor, took the detector to the second floor, and tested it below.
As a result, the detector really made a beeping sound.
Then, Yun Mianmian made ten steel pickaxes and ten steel chisels.
These cost her forty iron ores, and they are all necessary for mining ore.
-It
was getting late, and Yun Mianmian planned to go to the storage room to take a look.
After distributing the supplies last time, Yun Mianmian actually made a lot of messy things, all of which were piled up in the storage room. She kept saying that she would sort them out, but she was always busy and delayed for so long.
I will go to the island tomorrow to see if there is anything I can bring.
The four walls of the storage room were all covered with shelves specially made by Yun Mianmian, on which various items were placed in different categories.
Yun Mianmian first sorted out some unused sundries in her backpack and placed them on the shelf for daily necessities.
At this time, she received a message from Luo Luo.
Yun Mianmian clicked it and took a look.
Luo Luo: "Mianmian, I found an island. My brother has an island landing card, and I asked him to come over immediately. Do you have an island landing card? If so, I'll send you an approximate location and you can come over too."
Yun Mianmian and Luo Luo have had little contact in the past two days. After Yun Mianmian asked Luo Luo to help her make an iron bucket the day before yesterday, she has been busy and has no time to chat with her.
It is estimated that Luo Luo does not have much time.
"Thank you, Luo Luo, but it's not necessary. I just saw an island and I am ready to
go to the island tomorrow." Luo Luo: "That's fine."
Yun Mianmian: "Show me what your island looks like? Where is it?"
Luo Luo immediately took a screenshot and sent it to her.
After receiving it, Yun Mianmian found that it was actually a volcanic island.
After looking at the approximate location, it was too far away from Yun Mianmian.
It would take at least a few days to go there.
Yun Mianmian gave up.
But the resources on the volcanic island must be different from those here. Yun Mianmian took out the mineral distribution map and looked at it. It seems that the minerals there are also very rich.
Yun Mianmian: "Is your brother going to the island tomorrow? Why don't you get an island landing card yourself?"
Luo Luo: "I don't have an island landing card. My brother got it from a treasure chest."
Yun Mianmian: "I suggest you find a way to exchange for an island landing card and go to the island with him."
Not to mention other materials, even if only a mine is found, the two of them will definitely gain a lot by going to the island.
"I think so too, but I really don't see anyone willing to trade island landing cards, and it's not good to shout in the chat channel."
The chat channel is too messy and it's easy to attract too many people's attention.
Luo Luo certainly wants to go to the island with his brother, so that they can meet.
There seemed to be a space barrier on the sea, and the ships could not see each other.
Even if two people are on the shore of this island, as long as you don't go to the island, you can't see other people's ships.
You can do it after you go to the island, which was the case on Spider Island before.
But there is only one card to go to the island, and Luo Luo can't do it.
"There is still one night, you can try it, it would be better if you can go up, or you can collect a teleportation card, so that you can be teleported to the island where he is."
"Okay! I'll try."
Yun Mianmian looked at her backpack, "Have you learned the gathering skill? I have an extra gathering skill book here, do you want it?"
Yun Mianmian's gathering skill book was traded with Luo Luo before.
Now she has more, it might as well give it to Luo Luo.
If you go to the island, the gathering skill is very useful.
Luo Luo: "I've learned it, but my brother hasn't. Can I let him exchange with you?"
Yun Mianmian: "Okay, let him contact me."
Luo Luo went to contact his brother, and Yun Mianmian continued to organize the supplies.
Some things can be put in the backpack and brought to the island tomorrow.
For example, electric drills, iodine, band-aids, thermos...
She even thought about whether to bring a radiator with her when she goes out, so that it might be useful to put it next to her when she takes a break or eats.
But she looked at the remaining grids in her backpack...
There was no place to put it.
She quickly opened the trading center to search for wolf skins and golden silk.
The price of wolf skins is still very expensive, ten iron ores for one.
Yun Mianmian glanced at her iron ore.
She couldn't even afford it!
There were only a dozen iron ores in her backpack.
Yun Mianmian couldn't help but wonder why she was getting poorer and poorer.
What about the money she made from her business recently?
It seemed that it had all become daily necessities.
Her daily necessities were increasing, but the basic materials were decreasing, as they were all used for production.
Yun Mianmian quickly opened her trading center and found that her trading center had been sold out a long time ago. No wonder, she hadn't made anything to sell for a long time.
The once prosperous small mall was now in decline. There were hundreds of thousands of players in the third district, and they bought it out easily.
The trading center has stored some iron ore from the past few days of trading, but the materials earned here are shared with Hu Yuan and Nie Yangguang, and she cannot use them privately.
Yun Mianmian thought about it and simply chatted with Hu Yuan privately.
"Do you have iron ore that can be traded?"
Hu Yuan is a big boss in materials, and Yun Mianmian believes that he will not let her down.
"How much do you want?" Yun
Mianmian breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that Hu Yuan was the right person to ask for. "I want to exchange 100 iron ores with you."
Hu Yuan: "Okay." Yun Mianmian: "What do you want? Let me see if I have any here." Hu Yuan: "Food, any kind of meat is fine, preferably cooked." Yun Mianmian: "I don't have any cooked meat here. If you want cooked meat, you have to wait a little longer. Now I have ready-made meat." Hu Yuan: "It doesn't matter if it's later. Ten portions of barbecue and ten portions of the seafood sashimi you gave me last time." He directly sent the 100 iron ores to her. Yun Mianmian: "OK." Although it was a bit difficult to do, it was the only way to exchange for the wolf skin. After receiving the iron ore, Yun Mianmian made the transaction directly. Also, I had never seen golden silk before, but I found it in the trading center this time. There were two people selling it, and the quantity added up to exactly ten. One person needed a weapon, and the other needed an energy stone. The weapon was fine, but Yun Mianmian was reluctant to give out the energy stone. ... Yun Mianmian received a friend request. The other party's name was Luo Ze. Yun Mianmian accepted it and soon received a message from the other party. Luo Ze: "Hello, Sister Mianmian." Yun Mianmian: "Hello." This child is quite polite.
Luo Ze: "My sister told me that you have a gathering skill book here that can be traded, right?"
Yun Mian Mian: "Yes."
Luo Ze: "What do you need?"
Yun Mian Mian: "Do you have an energy stone?"
Luo Ze: "I don't have this one anymore. I found one last time and gave it to my sister."
Yun Mian Mian: "Then do you have any special items?"
After a while, Luo Ze sent a few item introductions.
[Food processor: It can be used to make soy milk, dry powder, juice, meat filling, shaved ice, use your imagination and make any dish you want.]
[Bicycle: Who said you can't ride a bicycle on the sea? This is a very convenient means of transportation!]
[Gundam model: educational toys, building models can also exercise your hands-on ability, imagination and creativity! It is also a good decoration. ]
"Uh..."
There are indeed three special items.
Yun Mianmian didn't know where he got them from.
However, this food processor is quite suitable for Yun Mianmian.
With it, she can make more delicious food.
Yun Mianmian: "Then I want this food processor." Luo Ze:
"Yeah."
Yun Mianmian sent the gathering skill book over, and Luo Ze also sent the food processor.
Luo Ze: "Thank you, Sister Mianmian, I can exchange any supplies I get after I go to the island with you first."
Yun Mianmian: "Okay, I wish you good luck, you can come to me if you need any help."
After receiving the food processor, Yun Mianmian thought that she could use it to make more food and bring it to the island to eat tomorrow.
Yun Mianmian: "By the way, Luo Luo, do you want dessert? We have donuts, cookies, and tiramisu. What do you want to eat?"
After waiting for a while, Luo Luo replied.
Luo Luo: "No need, Mianmian."
"I was just looking for a landing card. I posted an anonymous post on the forum. I wonder if anyone would be willing to trade."
Yun Mianmian: "Okay, it's okay to try. Maybe it works."
Luo Luo: "Okay."
Yun Mianmian: "Tell me if you need anything. If you have seeds or something, you can give them to me. I have built a greenhouse and prepared a variety of dishes."
The previous seeds have been almost used up. In order to plant a large number of them, Yun Mianmian has to purchase some more seeds.
After chatting with Luo Luo, Yun Mianmian privately chatted with the player who wanted to trade the energy stone with the golden silkworm.
The other party was anonymous, but Yun Mianmian could chat with him privately.
"Hello, I want to exchange gold silk with you. Do you need anything else besides energy stones?"
Yun Mianmian was not anonymous.
The man saw Yun Mianmian's name and sent a message: "Do you want gold silk to upgrade your backpack?"
Yun Mianmian: "Yes."
"If you don't have energy stones, a pet contract will also work."
Yun Mianmian was silent for a moment. It was a good idea to exchange a pet contract for gold silk.
What's more, it's not ten gold silks, but only four.
It seems that this person thinks she is rich and powerful, stupid and rich.
Although golden silk is hard to come by, there are only a few pet contracts, and this is a reward that can only be obtained by the top ten on the leaderboard. He actually wants to exchange it for this.
Yun Mianmian directly rejected the deal: "Forget it."
Although she needed it urgently, she was not a person who would trade at a loss.
She privately chatted with another player who was trading golden silk.
The weapons that Yun Mianmian could take out for trading include the bronze sword.
I wonder if the other party would be willing to take it.
The bronze sword was a good weapon last season, but it is a bit ordinary now. After all, almost every two people have a workbench now, and there are more weapon blueprints.
Sure enough, the other party was not interested when he saw the bronze sword.
"It's OK if you want to exchange, but you have to add something."
Yun Mianmian: "Add what?"
"How about Starfish Coins?"
Yun Mianmian: "How many?"
"Ten Starfish Coins."
Yun Mianmian hesitated for a moment and went to the mall to check the price of golden silk.
The golden silk in the mall is not expensive, you can buy one for five Starfish Coins.
Six golden silks, ten Starfish Coins plus a bronze sword.
Yun Mianmian calculated carefully and thought this deal was fair.
In fact, there is no stable price in the sea trade, it changes every day.
It depends on the rarity of the item. Maybe there are very few today and only one person in the trading center has it. Then the seller can ask for a high price. But if many people open it tomorrow, then the item will be devalued.
Few people take out the golden silk to trade now, and the bronze sword is indeed something she discarded.
Although she had agreed in her heart, Yun Mianmian did not show it, but asked: "You only have six golden silks here? I need ten, can you exchange ten? I will use fifteen starfish coins, a bronze sword, and a food with a buff effect to exchange with you."
Yun Mianmian's backpack still has the last grilled fish left, which can be used to exchange.
I will do it later.
Yun Mianmian's food is well received in District 3 and is quite famous.
"I only have six, but my friend has some. I'll go ask. Wait a minute."
"Okay."
Soon, the man came back.
"OK, send it to me."
"Okay." Yun Mianmian was happy that she could exchange the golden silk for the right price.
Cheng Shan was also very happy.
Because he asked his friend Fu Yan to exchange Yun Mianmian's food for four golden silks.
Fu Yan agreed immediately.
So Cheng Shan earned five more Starfish Coins.
With these fifteen Starfish Coins, he could buy Coke and Sprite in the mall. He hadn't had carbonated drinks for a long time and he really wanted to drink them. Or he could buy a pack of cigarettes with fifty Starfish Coins, which was also good. There were very few people willing to trade Starfish Coins now.
He didn't expect that the golden silkworms he opened could be exchanged for so many good things.
At that time, Fu Yan told him that the things he caught in each time period seemed to be quite regular. If he caught something good, Cheng Shan would immediately follow suit and there was a high probability that he would catch the same thing.
Fu Yan: "How do you know Yun Mianmian?"
Cheng Shan: "I just met her at the trading center. She asked me to exchange it for golden silk, so I exchanged it with her and got the food."
Fu Yan took out the grilled fish he had just got.
This was a grilled mackerel. The tender meat was wrapped in spices and peppers, and the skin was grilled golden. He could imagine the taste before he ate it.
Do you want to eat it now?
This has a buffing effect.
Now he is not tired or hungry, it would be a waste to eat it.
However, he has been at sea for so long and has not eaten a decent meal.
I heard that Yun Mianmian's food has been around for so long, but I have never eaten it once.
When Yun Mianmian randomly gave away 200 portions of food before, he was not picked. He asked for it at the trading center for a long time but no one was willing to exchange it.
Now that I have it, why don't I try it right away?
Fu Yan was in a dilemma.
Cheng Shan joked, "Look at you, you were also the third on the list, and now you are so famous, why don't you fight for your reputation."
Fu Yan: "That can't be helped, I was just lucky before, I got a lot of decorations and added points."
"The last time we survived on a deserted island, it depended on strength, and I don't have that strength."
Cheng Shan disagreed, "Why don't you have strength? Luck is also a kind of strength. You are the luckiest one among us childhood friends."
Otherwise, Cheng Shan would not go fishing with Fu Yan when he was fishing for treasure chests. He
just wanted to get some good luck.
Fu Yan looked at his luck value - 72.
He didn't know if it was high, but Cheng Shan said that he only had more than 50.
He estimated that his value was not bad.
-
Yun Mianmian got enough upgrade materials.
Yun Mianmian upgraded her backpack immediately.
The grid of the advanced backpack was expanded to forty-five.
This is already the highest level backpack.
Yun Mianmian felt much more comfortable when she saw the extra space.
Finally, she didn't have to worry about not having enough supplies.
With confidence, Yun Mianmian went shopping in the mall and bought a pair of cold-proof shoes for fifty starfish coins.
Without cold-proof shoes, it would definitely not work. It was okay on the boat, but Yun Mianmian still had to buy a pair to walk on the ice. She
also bought a safety helmet for miners.
She had a helmet, but it was not professional, so it would be more reassuring to buy one, after all, she was going there specifically to mine.
Moreover, this kind of helmet has a frame for a mining lamp on the front and a buckle for fixing the mining lamp line on the back, which makes it more professional.
For this reason, she bought two more mining lamps as backup.
Yun Mianmian took a lot of things from the storage room and put them in her backpack. She
even took honey, so that she could boil some water and soak it in honey to drink.
She also brought a lot of Antarctic krill, which penguins like to eat, so it’s always a good idea to bring them, and Octopus Girl can eat them too.
It took a long time to pack.
There were twenty-five things in the backpack, and twenty spaces were left.
They are small mineral detectors, pickaxes, chisels, Tang Dynasty cross-blades, daggers, electric drills, quivers, bows and arrows, hot water bottles, thermoses, cast iron pots, stoves, safety helmets, and headlights. There is also
a mountaineering bag, which contains many scattered small items: lighters, Band-Aids, Yunnan Baiyao, iodine, antibiotics, dried fruits, waterproof cloth...
This occupies fifteen grids. The other ten grids are for some things that are inconvenient to take out in large quantities, such as tar, sand, glass, Antarctic krill...
Later, I will make five more kinds of food and put them in the backpack.
Yun Mianmian is very satisfied, but she finds that after all the trouble, she seems to have not sorted out anything.
She just took the things in the backpack to the storage room, but there were still a lot of things in the storage room, and
she couldn't figure out how many there were. Forget it, this is the trouble of having too many supplies. She doesn't know when she will be able to really have some free time.
That's it for now.
She is in a hurry to make food again.
With a food processor, Yun Mianmian can really show her skills.
Use a food processor to puree the venison, add a little chopped onion, chopped green onion, chopped garlic, pepper, and salt, stir to make meatballs, fry them briefly in a frying pan, let the surface of the meatballs become golden and beautiful, then take them out and set them aside.
Then stir-fry some vegetables and add water to boil, and finally put the venison meatballs in to cook. After they are cooked, Yun Mianmian adds some mushrooms.
After it was done, Yun Mianmian tried it. It was tender and chewy, and it was so delicious that she couldn't help but eat two more.
Octopus Girl was drooling beside her, and Yun Mianmian rewarded her with one.
"I want to eat more."
Yun Mianmian: "Wait a minute."
Venison meatball soup replenishes nutrition and calories, and has the best nutritional effect.
She made two big pots, which can be divided into eight portions, which is enough.
Eating a little of this at the critical moment will make you feel full.
As for the other food, it is barbecue and sashimi, which are just for Hu Yuan.
Yun Mianmian chose wild boar and wolf meat for the barbecue.
She made ten portions and kept half for herself.
As for sashimi, Yun Mianmian chose tuna and cuttlefish, and made twenty portions and gave half to Hu Yuan.
The meat was ready, and Yun Mianmian made ten potato pancakes. They were delicious last time, so she made some more.
For the staple food, she would make white rice. It couldn't be simpler. There
were still a few pounds of rice, so Yun Mianmian cooked them all. She put a large bowl of it in her backpack, and used a rice spoon to scoop some when she wanted to eat.
After the preparations were done, Yun Mianmian and Octopus Girl continued to work on the greenhouse. Octopus Girl used her tentacles to install all the glass, and Yun Mianmian made two closed boilers to heat up the greenhouse.
The glass and the door were all installed, and the greenhouse was almost built.
All she had to do was come back and spread the soil, and then she could grow vegetables.
Looking at the beautiful greenhouse, Yun Mianmian felt relieved. After working for so long, it was finally going to be completed.
Before going to bed, Yun Mianmian put away the food for the chickens and rabbits, and then took a comfortable hot bath before lying down.
It was another busy day, and I hope I will have good luck tomorrow!
-
The next morning, Yun Mianmian got up and the first thing she did was to change her equipment and set off.
First, she changed into a complete set of polar clothing: polar cold-proof gloves, polar cold-proof waterproof jacket, polar cold-proof waterproof pants, goggles, cold-proof shoes, and a down vest and woolen sweater inside. After she was fully armed, Yun Mianmian called out Octopus Girl.
Octopus girl: "Where are we going?"
Yun Mianmian pointed to the island in front of her: "To the island."
Octopus girl doesn't like places that are too cold, and she stayed on the boat because she thought it was warm here. "Do you have to go?"
Yun Mianmian: "If you don't want to go, you have to stay on the boat by yourself. Don't you want to follow me?"
Seeing it wavering, Yun Mianmian said again: "Let's go, I'll bring you two radiators."
Yun Mianmian had thought about it. If it was cold, she would give it soup to replenish its condition.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Yun Mianmian saw it like this and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "You're so good, eat something before you go."
She took out the barbecue she made yesterday, and she and Octopus girl ate half each.
After eating, Octopus girl was in a different state. "Do you need me to help you with work?"
Yun Mianmian smiled. It seems that Octopus girl is indeed a little smart.
Yun Mianmian: "Yes, I'll put you in the bag first, and let you out when I need you, so you won't be cold."
Octopus girl's tentacles lay on Yun Mianmian.
Yun Mianmian opened the pet bag, and Octopus girl took the initiative to crawl in.
Then, she took out the lucky dice.
In fact, no matter what the lucky number is today, she will go to the island.
But she still prayed secretly in her heart that it would be better to have good luck.
The dice spun for a long time, and Yun Mianmian kept staring at it until the dice stopped on the side of everything going well.
It seems that there will be a good harvest today.
Taking back the dice, Yun Mianmian prepared to go to the island.
-The
system voice prompts: [Arrived at Ice Crystal Island, permission is required to go to the island, no permission is granted, and it is impossible to go to the island]
Ice Crystal Island, the name sounds like a very beautiful island.
Yun Mianmian did the same thing as last time, took out the island landing card and clicked to use it.
Soon, the restrictions on landing on the island disappeared, and she slid down the rope and stepped onto the frozen sea to reach the island.
