Chapter 35 September 30th
The eighth day of survival at sea.
7:30 AM
Yu Zhu went to bed early and woke up early these days.
She closed her eyes and turned over. Her mind was clear, but her body needed to calm down.
As expected, I stayed in bed for a minute before I opened the curtain. The rain had stopped and the sun was shining brightly, with the perfect temperature on my body.
Everything in nature was so beautiful until she saw a huge monster.
Even from a distance, one can still sense its uniqueness. It covers a large area and exudes an indescribable pressure. It does not look like an ordinary island at all.
Yu Zhu immediately took out the map and was surprised to find that the intermediate island that was very far away yesterday was now right in front of him when he woke up.
It is reasonable to suspect that Dog Game secretly pressed the raft acceleration button while people were sleeping.
Anyone else in this situation would probably lose control and run to the island in a hurry.
Yu Zhu's heart was beating fast, but she told herself to stay calm and hold her composure.
Even if it was a small island, she had to make full preparations, let alone a mid-level island.
While it was still early, Yu Zhu worked hard to take the exam and every step that followed.
First, she had to buy an anchor, otherwise when she returned from the island, she wouldn't know where the raft had drifted to.
Open the trading area and search for the keyword [anchor] accurately.
[Zhou Jianmin: One-time anchor (pictured) to anchor the raft. You need to load stones yourself in exchange for 280g of drinking water/4 wooden planks + 6 plastics + 10 ropes]
…
There are quite a few players selling anchors, but they all sell anchors that can be thrown once.
Yu Zhu clicked it and took a look. It was probably just a plastic bucket tied with a rope. The bucket was empty, and the player had to put stones in it himself.
That's it? 280g of water, only good for one use.
The structure is so simple that one can feel that they can build it at a glance.
But for safety reasons, Yu Zhu still bought it.
First, this game is more formula-based. Many things seem simple, and in fact they are not that difficult, but people have to follow the rules.
Every family has its own rules, every school has its own rules, every society has its own rules, and every game has its own rules. No matter where people are, they are bound by rules, but at the same time they are also protected.
Other people’s recipes are not in vain. At least the finished products made with the game recipes will never go wrong, but that is not necessarily the case with those you make yourself.
Because the raft was large, Yu Zhu bought three directly, spending 12 wooden boards, 18 plastics, and 30 ropes. The remaining wooden boards were 20564, plastics were 3723, and ropes were 5815.
As soon as she got the anchor, Yu Zhu filled each bucket with 8 stones, using a total of 24 stones, with 2541 stones remaining. When she was 100 meters away from the intermediate island, she took in the sails and dropped 3 anchors.
After confirming that the raft had stopped, Yu Zhu changed into a long shirt and trousers, and sat under the simple shed. She grilled the fish she had taken out and adjusted her inventory. She had to free up as many slots as possible.
There were too many basic supplies to fit into an ordinary storage box, and just at this moment, she discovered a new storage tool.
[Lezhi: Small Item Storage (pictured), has 8 slots, exchanges for 340g of water/16 plastic pieces + 2 pieces of debris + 4 pieces of rope]
Storage boxes are not limited to any type, but their capacity is limited.
The item library has limited categories but unlimited capacity.
If there are 2 more slots in this 8-slot capacity, it will become a brand new inventory.
Yu Zhu, who always abides by the rules, suddenly came up with a nesting doll bug method in his mind.
She first bought a small item library, then tried to put ropes, nails, and fragments into it, and then put the small item library into the inventory.
Yu Zhu was excited to see the small item library appear in the inventory, but at the same time she also discovered its drawbacks.
The doll can only be put into the same box once, not infinitely. A small item library cannot be placed inside a small item library, just like two boxes of the same size cannot be loaded into each other.
Furthermore, the supplies placed in the small item library cannot be opened in the item bar. The contents are locked and can only be used again by releasing them from the item library.
Yu Zhu knew that bugs were not that easy to exploit. In fact, this was most likely not a bug, but perhaps an unspoken rule of the game, but it was indeed very useful.
She carefully sorted out her inventory, and by the way, piled aside the 72 wooden boards needed for today's water purification. She also added 130g of fish, 20g each of cabbage, spinach, and lettuce to Meihua, plus 100ml of water. The combination of meat and vegetables made the work less tiring.
Watching Meihua eating non-stop, sometimes taking a bite of fish and sometimes a bite of vegetables, Yu Zhu also started to nibble on a 300g potato, leek and egg pancake, which he also ate with relish.
In the end, the only items left in the inventory were: 20491 wooden boards, 7761 palm leaves, 2541 stones, an intermediate bow (durability 39) + 100 stone arrows, a stone axe (durability 30), and a small item warehouse, leaving 4 empty slots.
Small item library: Plastic x3707, Rope x5811, Nail x2755, Fragments x1612, Simple Bed x1, Simple Shed x1, 500g cooked fish, 7100g fish.
As early as daybreak, the objects saw the intermediate island and knew that Yu Zhu had been looking forward to it for a long time. They were both happy and worried, fearing that Yu Zhu would encounter some danger, fail to take care of himself, and suffer.
This worry continued until everyone saw Yu Zhu set up the simple bed and the simple tent.
All items: ...?
Are you going on an outdoor outing?
Simple Water Purifier No. 1: I must have been possessed by a black magic spell, which is why I thought this woman was going to suffer.
Simple Water Purifier No. 2: If you suffer, she won’t suffer.
Easy Grill: Ahhh! I want to go out and play too!
Yu Zhu: "There's no room left. I'll take you next time."
Simple grill: good
Simple Water Purifier No. 1: You naive griller, that's an intermediate island, the big bear can slap you into pieces with one slap.
Easy Grill: I'm not afraid! She will protect me.
Hearing this, No. 1 seemed to have a heart attack due to his ignorant love-brain. He almost lost his temper and scared Meihua next to him. She didn't even have time to eat.
Plum Blossom: “Chuckles!”
Fire, fire! Don’t let it go out! Don’t let it go out!
There was another burst of chickens flying and jumping. Yu Zhu was not worried at all that they would be lonely at home.
Taking advantage of the break from breakfast, she opened the chat area and browsed through the messages.
Last night's hot topic was the sail assembly. Like Yu Zhu's, the triangular and square sails have very clear characteristics. The drawback is the stabilizer blades. Players who bought them can't say they are completely useless. At least they are decorative (? This taught some players who were eager to land on the island a lesson.
I thought buying everything would help speed up, but it turned out I wasn't as fast as those who bought just the sail.
In addition, all players were new to sailing, and most of them had trouble grasping the direction, but through slow exploration, they were able to find some tricks. Some players, like Yu Zhu, found the island this morning.
He Qiuliang: I see the island. You guys just drift slowly on the sea! I'll go ahead!
[Qiu Jun: Are you not going to receive the minimum living allowance anymore?]
He Qiuliang: We already have the island, what else do I need? I'll leave it to you guys to pick up.
Hu Xiangyang: Aren't you afraid of slipping your tongue when you say that?
…
It was 8:00 in the morning, and now it was 8:30. Later, other people followed He Qiuliang's example and rushed to the island, but some people, like Yu Zhu, received the minimum living allowance before leaving, mainly for the barrels, with the chance of finding a new formula.
There was nothing valuable to say after that. No one on the island spoke anymore. Yu Zhu opened the trading area again and decided to buy some transportation and outing supplies (?
Xiang Tianlei: Plastic Boat (pictured), Single-person Thickened Boat, Exchanges for 400g of drinking water/20 pieces of plastic + 4 pieces of debris.
Fu Wanwan: Paddle (pictured), Rowing Tools, Exchanged for 240g of Water/8 Wooden Planks + 12 Plastics + 4 Ropes
[Shao Chengping: Woven backpack (pictured), environmentally friendly, beautiful, and very lightweight. Exchange for 260g of drinking water/18 palm leaves + 4 ropes]
QiBoYi: Empty plastic bottle with cap (pictured), 500ml water, exchange for 50g drinking water/5 plastic bottles
Song Luxin: Woven pocket (pictured) for small items, exchanged for 50g of drinking water/5 palm leaves.
…
Purchase: Plastic boat x1, paddle x1, woven backpack x1, empty plastic bottles x2, woven bags x4
Cost: 8 planks, 38 palm leaves, 42 plastics, 8 ropes, 4 debris
Remaining items: 20483 planks, 7723 palm leaves, 3665 plastic, 5803 rope, 1608 debris
The backpack was made of palm leaves and looked very cute, just like an elementary school backpack. There were compartments for water on both sides. Yu Zhu put the empty bottle he had just bought filled with water in it. Three of the four woven pockets contained 100g each of strawberries, cherries, and lychees, and one contained a herb.
He then stuffed the bulging pockets into his backpack, tucked a cucumber in, and, with enough food and drink, he felt like he was going on a picnic. Yu Zhu tried carrying it, and it felt like an empty bag; it barely made a dent. So, was this what light weight meant? The price suddenly seemed much more reasonable.
Half an hour later, Yu Zhu brought all the supplies ashore.
A total of: 15 wooden boards, 5 palm leaves, 7 plastics, 3 stones, 500g matcha cake, 300ml transport drink, and 1 stone pickaxe blueprint.
It turned out that her wait was worth it.
