Chapter 6
After waking up, Yu Zhu felt much more energetic, but a little hot. The temperature today was slightly higher than yesterday.
She picked up the cat paw pillow, walked to the edge of the raft, sat down lazily, took out her fishing rod and started baiting, while opening the trading area to prepare for shopping.
Qi Boyi: Sunshade Straw Hat (pictured), 20% heatstroke protection, 20 durability, exchanged for 80g water, 2 ropes, and 4 palm leaves.
This price... Yu Zhu remembered that the 1.8x2.0m summer quilt he bought only cost 100g of water, but this straw hat cost 80g. Even if it could be exchanged for palm leaves, it was still a bit expensive.
She guessed that the key to the price might lie in the buff bonus. The things made by players using recipes are more or less out of the category of ordinary items, while the finished products opened from barrels are all ordinary items with relatively low prices. From this point of view, she made a profit on the daily necessities she bought before, and she accidentally picked up a pie in the sky.
After all, the number of ordinary items that can be opened from the barrel is limited. In order to meet the demand, the game should release relevant recipes later. By then, items like summer quilts will not be sold as cheaply as they are now.
After thinking it through, Yu Zhu felt that the sun hat was acceptable. He made 2 ropes as required, consumed 4 palm leaves, purchased 1 sun hat, and had 42 palm leaves left.
I got a straw hat with a circumference of about 58cm. The brim alone is 16cm. When I put it on my head, I felt a lot cooler. It even covered most of my shoulders. It was definitely worth the money.
After adjusting his state, Yu Zhu leaned lazily on the pillow, changed to the most comfortable sitting position, threw the fishing rod to the distant sea, and started his daily fishing.
For this purpose, she even moved the water purifier to her side, moving it wherever it was convenient.
Four hours later, at 4:45 p.m., a prompt popped up on the game panel: The number of fish caught today has reached the upper limit (5), 3 small, 1 medium, and 1 large, 2 of which are new species. Currently, 7 marine fish have been unlocked.
[Ding! Congratulations, you caught a golden pomfret!]
[Length: 12.93cm (small)]
【Breakdown: 100g fish meat】
[Ding! Congratulations, you caught a sea bass!]
【Length: 40.89cm (Medium)】
【Breakdown: 800g fish meat】
[Ding! Congratulations, you caught a sea catfish!]
[Length: 15.78cm (small)]
【Breakdown: 300g fish meat】
[Ding! Congratulations, you caught a red snapper!]
[Length: 18.25cm (small)]
【Breakdown: 350g fish meat】
[Ding! Congratulations, you caught a hairtail!]
【Length: 1.5m (large)】
【Breakdown: 1050g fish meat】
The good news is that Yu Zhu caught a big fish today. The bad news is that the big fish was a cutlassfish, but the harvest of big fish was still considerable.
When Yu Zhu pulled the big cutlassfish over, he saw a long trail on the sea surface. If the cutlassfish itself was not too shiny and dazzling, Yu Zhu would have thought he had caught a sea snake.
In order to record her first time catching a big fish, she did not cut it apart immediately. Instead, she took a photo of herself holding it in her hand as a souvenir. The whole fish was long and beautiful.
After taking the photos, Yu Zhu calmed down and began to check his catch for the afternoon. He spent 50g of fish meat to buy 10 baits. Currently, there are 7 baits left (-5), the durability of the fishing rod is 17 (-5), and the total fish meat is 2550g (-50). Thanks to this big hairtail, the total amount is 700g more than yesterday.
In addition, Yu Zhu only harvested 200g of water, 7g of salt, and -6 wooden boards. She then discovered that the water purifier could even malfunction, which was not mentioned at all in the introduction. It was like triggering some hidden easter egg.
[Simple Water Purifier (Introvert + Sleeping): Because the production method is too simple, it can only work for 5 hours a day.]
Yu Zhu:?
What?
A water purifier actually has a personality?
Yu Zhu said with a smile: "What good would it do you to laugh me to death?"
Simple water purifier: There are so many benefits, you don’t have to work anymore.
It was just a casual complaint, but there turned out to be an extra line of small words like this on the water purifier.
It disappeared in the blink of an eye. Yu Zhu thought she had seen it wrong. No matter what she said afterwards, the simple water purifier did not respond at all, as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion.
But Yu Zhu knew that these were all true, and she was a little confused. Is this called introversion? You call this introversion!
There was no other way, so Yu Zhu moved the dormant water purifier back to the side of the grill. She also checked the status of the grill and found that there was a similar line of small words on the simple bed.
[Simple Grill (Optimistic + On Standby): Even though the recipe is too simple, I still love life and can work 8 hours a day.]
[Simple Bed (Calm Personality + Lying Flat): Even though the crafting method is extremely simple, it can restore up to 5 health points per day.]
This feeling makes the game seem more lively, but there are no such easter eggs for things like fishing rods and construction hammers.
The role of the Easter egg is more like telling players that even without durability, simple items have limits, so don't ask for too much.
Yu Zhu said that he understood and fully understood, and would respect the props' personalities and start doing so from now on.
So, she decided to build another one.
Making a Simple Water Purifier
Consumption: Wood planks x6, Palm leaves x6, Plastic x8
Obtain: Simple water purifier x1
Remaining: 138 wooden planks, 36 palm leaves, 12 plastic...
A minute later, next to the introverted simple water purifier No. 1, there appeared a simple water purifier No. 2 that looked identical to it.
Simple Water Purifier No. 1: ...
When two identical water purifiers were placed together, for some reason, Yu Zhu seemed to see six dots appear above No. 1's head.
Yu Zhu thought with peace of mind that he must have seen it wrong this time, so he put number 1 behind his mind and started to check the information of number 2.
[Simple Water Purifier (Cheerful + On Standby): Even though the production method is too simple, I still yearn for a better future and can work 6 hours a day.]
Although it was only one hour longer than No. 1, Yu Zhu was still very happy, because the two together accounted for 1,100ml of water.
That's right, every problem has a solution. I was too busy fishing to do it before, but now I feel much more comfortable.
She skillfully went to the beach to collect water, then placed wooden boards (-6) on it to heat it and continue to purify the seawater.
The raft is not too big, with 16 pieces of 4x4 wood, only 4 square meters. It is convenient to collect water, but it is not a good idea to run back and forth like this all the time.
It was definitely not because of laziness, but because Yu Zhu wanted to save time, so he opened the trading area again to look for the items he liked.
Qiu Jun: Wooden water barrel with lid (pictured), can hold 5L of water, guaranteed to be safe, exchanged for 170g of drinking water/6 wooden planks + 2 shards + 2 ropes.
Yu Zhu readily bought two, one to store sea water and the other to store purified water. 340g of fish meat was consumed, and 2210g of fish meat remained.
After solving the water storage problem, it was five o'clock in the afternoon and Yu Zhu began to collect the last batch of supplies for the day.
After everything is salvaged, the inventory will be updated in real time: 147 wooden boards (+15), 43 palm leaves (+7), 20 plastics (+8), 2 fragments (+1), 350g spicy Maoxuewang self-heating hot pot, 330ml cola, a pack of 10 daily sanitary napkins, a 17cm ebony comb, and a simple hook (durability 18).
A total of 8 items were opened from the barrel this time. Things like wood boards, palm leaves, and plastics were inherent, and Yu Zhu counted them as the decomposable materials of the barrel. After all, once the barrel was opened, it would disappear, so something must have been left behind. The remaining 4-5 items were the actual items that were opened.
Yu Zhu was not surprised at all without seeing the blueprint. He had drawn it three times in a row before, which could only be attributed to good luck. In addition, he caught a big fish today, so he probably used up all his luck. However, he was able to draw sanitary napkins and wooden combs, which was not too bad.
Sanitary napkins are a necessity for most women. They cannot be bought in the trading area. Even if you keep staring at them, it is still difficult to grab one. It was a pleasant surprise that they were found this time. As for the wooden comb, Yu Zhu simply didn't pay attention to it. She took a shower and washed her hair every day, and tied her hair into a ponytail during the day, which was very refreshing. At most, she would comb her hair with her fingers twice when tying it.
Now that she had a wooden comb, Yu Zhu naturally wanted to use it. She untied her hair and combed it again. She didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but her head felt much more comfortable. This wooden comb was indeed more comfortable than a hand comb.
At 5:15 p.m., the sun was setting and my stomach was growling.
When it was time for dinner, Yu Zhu chose the latter between the 350g spicy Maoxuewang self-heating hot pot and the 150g spicy beef bucket noodles. In fact, she liked both, but she wanted to eat noodles.
Yu Zhu is a person who loves noodles very much. Basically, he spends half of the week eating various noodles.
If Yu Zhu had not come to this sea survival game, he would have eaten it long ago, but now he can satisfy his craving with instant noodles, and instant noodles require hot water, so he can only buy them if he has no equipment to boil water. Fortunately, Yu Zhu is now so poor that he only has "money" left.
I decisively opened the trading area and bought a kettle with a lid, handle and spout. It was not big and could hold 1L of water. I consumed 210g of fish meat, leaving 2000g of fish meat.
He had a kettle, but instant noodles required a lot of water. Yu Zhu wanted to exchange some water, but no one was selling in the trading area. This was when the importance of connections became apparent.
A few minutes later, Yu Zhu exchanged 300g of fish meat for 300ml of water from Luo Xincheng, leaving 1700g of fish meat. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. This water was also exchanged by Luo Xincheng from others.
Yu Zhu knew that someone must have drawn the water purifier blueprint, but due to the low production and high consumption, the water was not put on the trading area.
Pour the 300ml of water you exchanged and the 200ml purified during the day, a total of 500ml, into the kettle, then place the kettle on the grill, add a wooden board (-1) and start burning and heating.
While waiting, Yu Zhu opened the lid of the instant noodles, squeezed the seasoning, burned the garbage along with the wooden board, and waited for the kettle to boil. Two minutes later, a sharp whistle sounded from the kettle.
Knowing that the water was boiling, Yu Zhu took the kettle down, replaced the raw fish meat, poured the boiling water into the noodle bucket, inserted the fork into the edge of the bucket, and pressed the lid down. Then all he had to do was simmer it for a while before he could start eating.
Three minutes later, I opened the lid again and the aroma of instant noodles hit me, whetting my appetite. The curved noodles wrapped in the spicy red soup were extremely tempting.
"Slurp——"
The noodles were fragrant and spicy, and they were chewy and strong. Yu Zhu was so hot that he couldn't stop eating even when he was breathing out. He felt like he was being charged up.
Although the beef cubes were as scarce as the vegetable buns, they could be made up with fish. She tore 200g of the 400g roasted fish into strips and put them into the noodle bucket. The fish and noodles were mixed together, and the color, aroma and taste were so good that she couldn't help but take a photo.
After dinner, it was already 5:40 in the afternoon, and Yu Zhu popped up in the chat area at the right time.
Yu Zhu: Various grilled foods (pictured). The grilling stall is now open. As usual, 100g per board. Orders are welcome!
The process was the same as before. As soon as he finished sending it, Yu Zhu turned around and drank Coke. Listening to the sound of gas spraying out from the bottle mouth, Yu Zhu drank most of it in one gulp, and then let out a long sigh. The taste was extremely refreshing.
After she finished drinking, which took only about ten seconds, there were many red dots in the chat area, which were all messages @ her.
Yu Zhu:?
Is business so good today?
