Chapter 21 September 19th
The fifth day of survival at sea.
Perhaps because he was too tired last night, Yu Zhu slept very soundly.
Normally, she would turn off the alarm as soon as it rang, but today it rang for several minutes, waking up all the objects, which couldn't help but grumble.
Simple Water Purifier No. 1: Why hasn't she woken up yet? The sun is already shining on her butt.
Simple Water Purifier No. 2: You talk as if you didn’t just wake up.
Simple grill: zzZ
Simple bed: Let her sleep a little longer.
After staying in bed for about seven or eight minutes, Yu Zhu finally woke up before the supplies floated onto the raft.
She was yawning, her eyes were half-drowsy, and her body was still a little tired, all because of the physical exhaustion in the early morning.
Yu Zhu turned off the alarm clock and looked at the time. It was 8:57 in the morning. She sat up lazily.
As soon as I opened the curtain of the makeshift shed, a wave of heat hit me in the face, but it was still early and not the hottest time of the day, so it was still bearable.
Yu Zhu changed out of her plush pajamas and put on short summer pajamas, put on a straw hat and straw sandals, and walked out.
Due to time constraints, she went directly to the edge of the raft. Before the supplies floated to her eyes, Yu Zhu's simple hook had already been thrown out. It took three and a half minutes to salvage all the supplies ashore. The whole process was neat and efficient, and the hook's hit rate was as high as 100%.
The moment he retracted the simple hook, Yu Zhu suddenly felt dazed. What was the difference between this and punching in for work at 9 am every day?
She shook her head, thought no more, and went straight back to the shed to sit down and feed the two water purifiers with wooden boards (-12).
Simple Water Purifier No. 1: Woman, you finally woke up!
Yu Zhu glanced at it and felt that it was a little lacking, but still responded with a "hmm", then turned around and watered the strawberries with 50ml of water, leaving 350ml of water.
Simple Water Purifier No. 1: It’s really getting more and more perfunctory.
Simple Water Purifier No. 2: Are you Shiboyi?
Simple Grill: No. 1, you are so noisy!
Simple bed: It would be uncomfortable if no one scolds it for a moment.
Makeshift Shed: Let's isolate it together.
Simple Water Purifier No. 1: ???
Yu Zhu sat aside and watched them bickering. She felt that these little guys were really energetic, and then her attention was attracted by the little tomato.
【Cherry tomatoes (planting period 3 days)】
Current status: about to mature
[Remaining time: 0 hours and 15 minutes]
Its fruit was still green yesterday, but has turned red today. The flesh is plump and round. It is a cherry tomato, about the size of a one-yuan coin. There are quite a few of them. Yu Zhu touched it and felt that each fruit weighed about 20g.
Yu Zhu hasn't eaten any fruit since she came to the sea. She only needs to wait a little longer and she will have a treat.
While thinking happily, she ate her breakfast, which consisted of 150g of taro and pork floss salad sandwich, 100g of ham sausage, and drank 200ml of water, leaving 150ml of water.
It took only ten minutes to finish breakfast. While the temperature was still bearable, Yu Zhu bought a mop + brush + plastic bucket in the trading area, spending a total of 50g of fish meat + 4 plastics, leaving 16150g of fish meat and 2820 plastics. As soon as he got the things, he started to clean up the raft, mainly to clean up the bloodstains to avoid the smell when the temperature rose.
At 9:30 in the morning, Yu Zhu finished her work quickly and was sweating all over. When she returned to the shed and sat down, she saw a fully ripe tomato plant, which showed that it was ready to be picked.
As soon as Yu Zhu put her hand on it, the cherry tomatoes disappeared with their roots. She opened the inventory and found 500g (25 pieces) of cherry tomatoes. She took one out and threw it into her mouth. There was no pesticide residue and it was green and healthy. She could eat it with confidence because she grew it herself.
It bursts with juice as soon as you put it in your mouth, tastes sweet but not greasy at all, and is very appetizing, making you want to eat more and more.
Yu Zhu showed off 5 of them in a row before stopping, saving the rest for later.
When Yu Zhu opened the inventory just now, she remembered that her barrel had not been opened yet.
I used to rely on a bucket for my meals every day, and I couldn’t wait to open it as soon as I fished it out. Now I have no worries about food and drink, and I forget about the bucket as soon as I fished it out. People are really fickle.
Open the barrel and fish out the supplies, and you will get a total of: 15 wooden boards, 6 palm leaves, 5 plastics, 4 stones, fragments, 1 chicken, and 1 stone axe blueprint.
A whole day had passed since the last time she opened a blueprint, and Yu Zhu didn't find it strange. According to the law of conservation of luck, after a successful start, she would have to have a few byes. Only with the simple shed could her task completion rate be 100%, and the byes were what she deserved. Now that she had opened a blueprint again, her luck had returned to normal.
After the novice period, the supplies in the barrel have changed slightly, and there are many new things.
Yu Zhu was not in a hurry to look at the chicken, but first learned the stone axe blueprint.
[Stone Axe: Essential for logging, can dismantle rafts, has a certain amount of damage]
[Durability: 30]
[Materials: Wood x6, Stone x3, Rope x2]
She was very good at grasping the key points: felling trees was necessary, but where were the trees in the sea for her to cut down?
Unless... we encounter an island. Yu Zhu thinks this idea is reasonable. Besides, it is an extra melee weapon, so he must build one.
To make a stone axe, the remaining materials are: wood plank x3835, stone x1, rope x109.
A fairly sharp and sturdy stone axe was obtained, and Yu Zhu put it on the trading area.
[Yu Zhu: Stone Axe (pictured), essential for logging, detachable raft, exchanged for 260g of water/12 planks + 6 stones + 4 ropes]
Immediately afterwards, Yu Zhu took out the chicken from the inventory.
For a moment, chicken feathers flew everywhere and a series of "cluck, cluck" sounds were heard. It was actually still alive.
It struggled violently in Yu Zhu's hands for only a second before Yu Zhu grabbed its throat.
Yu Zhu: "Hey, isn't this roast chicken?"
chicken:……?
Yu Zhu: "Looks like I'm in for a treat today."
Upon hearing this, the chicken's neck softened and it drooped in Yu Zhu's hand, rolling its eyes.
Yu Zhu: "That's good, it saves me from having to kill him."
The chicken quickly stood up again: "Cluck, cluck, cluck!"
Yu Zhu: "You can even pretend to be dead? That's a little clever, but not much."
The next second, the chicken's eyes became moist and it actually cried.
If it were someone else, they would probably feel soft-hearted after seeing this scene, but it was his bad luck to meet Yu Zhu, the living devil who loved roast chicken the most.
Yu Zhu looked indifferent and unmoved. He threw the chicken in front of him and the stone axe he had just made next to it, then issued an ultimatum: "Tell me, what's the point of me keeping you?"
After landing on the ground, the chicken instinctively wanted to run away, but when it looked at the stone axe and thought of the force it had just used, it subconsciously shrank its neck and became very timid.
Hearing Yu Zhu's words, the chicken erupted in an unprecedented desire to survive. It suddenly began to exert its strength, desperately trying, and finally, after five seconds, it laid an egg. Yu Zhu didn't mind, and picked it up directly. It was fresh out of the oven and still warm.
She grew up in a mountain village and her family raised a lot of chickens. Eggs were very expensive at that time, not to mention that they were at sea now. Although Yu Zhu was not short of protein, she still liked to eat eggs.
Holding the egg in your hand, it feels like it weighs barely 50g.
Yu Zhu objectively commented: "It's a bit small."
The corners of the chicken's eyes became moist again, and even a tear flowed down, looking much more real than before.
Chicken: “Cluck…”
That was its first time!
Seeing how fragile it looked, Yu Zhu stopped teasing it and picked up the stone axe. As soon as she reached out her hand, the chicken was frightened and took two steps back. Its little claws were tumbling and it almost stumbled. It was so funny to watch.
Simple Water Purifier No. 1: Hahaha, this chicken is so timid!
Simple Water Purifier No. 2: Tsk, have you forgotten what happened back then?
Easy Grill: I remember, I remember! Number 1 was so scared that he pretended to be dead!
Simple bed: Phew.
Simple shed: Although I didn’t see it, I have the picture.
Simple Water Purifier No. 1:? I want to compete with you!
As luck would have it, Yu Zhu, who turned around, saw this sentence and gave it a slap on the head.
Yu Zhu: "Behave yourself and stop fighting and killing each other every day."
A different sound from the previous one was heard from the side, as if the chicken was laughing: "Cluck, cluck, cluck~!"
Simple Water Purifier No. 1: ...
This newcomer actually dared to laugh at it!
No. 1 was so angry that he almost fainted!
Hearing the laughter, Yu Zhu looked at the chicken again and set the rules directly without caring whether it could understand or not.
"You are not allowed to urinate or defecate anywhere on the raft. Find a way to solve it yourself and don't cause trouble for me."
chicken:?
Is this human language?
I guess anyone who hears this will be stunned for a moment.
Seeing the chicken motionless, I was really stunned.
Yu Zhu took it all in and issued a second order: "At least seven eggs a week."
chicken:? ?
Not even a day's rest?
This capitalist has to call you dad when he sees you.
Yu Zhu: "What's that look in your eyes?"
The chicken quickly shrank its neck, blinking its small black bean-sized eyes with an innocent look on its face.
Yu Zhu: "You are not allowed to destroy any structures on the raft."
That’s no problem, the chickens nodded enthusiastically.
Yu Zhu: "That's all for now. I'll give you a name."
"The pattern on your body looks pretty. How about calling it Plum Blossom?"
To be honest, Ji was very surprised, because it was quite nice. This name had a kind of beauty that didn't match Yu Zhu's temperament.
Seeing the chicken holding its head high and chest out happily, No. 1 became even more unhappy.
Simple Water Purifier No. 1: It’s not a deer, why is it called Plum Blossom?
It’s a pity that no one paid attention to its sarcastic remarks, and the other little guys also thought it sounded nice.
The chicken thought everything was fine and was about to breathe a sigh of relief when it heard Yu Zhu calling its name.
Yu Zhu: "Meihua, come here."
Hearing the sound, Meihua walked over obediently and was caught by Yu Zhu.
The next second, a cold light flashed before his eyes, and it was that familiar stone axe again.
Meihua felt a chill in her chest, and chicken feathers began to fly again.
Plum Blossom: Help! Someone is being a hooligan! Fortunately, Plum Blossom can't speak human language, otherwise, she would have been beaten by Yu Zhu.
This was not her first time raising a chicken, and there was a difference between humans and chickens. Yu Zhu shaved the chicken's feathers out of consideration for it.
Chickens are creatures that are afraid of both heat and cold. The temperature in the simple shed is okay now, but if we wait until noon, the chickens will die.
Therefore, Yu Zhu will appropriately trim the feathers on its chest, legs, and left and right wings, while retaining the feathers on its neck, back, and tail.
In addition, the indicators she gave to Meihua were also reasonable.
Yu Zhu naturally guessed that Meihua had just laid an egg for the first time. Although 50g was small, it was not bad. The eggs laid at the beginning would be relatively small, and a normal chicken could lay 1-2 eggs a day. She would definitely not deprive it of food and drink. If it ate well, it would naturally lay more eggs.
Yu Zhu had to explain it to the silly chicken because he was afraid that the chicken didn’t understand.
"The temperature will be even higher soon. I'm afraid you might get a heat stroke, so I'll shave your head."
Plum Blossom: Woo woo woo…
Although what Yu Zhu said made sense, it could not conceal the fact that it had become a bald chicken.
After shaving Meihua's hair, Yu Zhu let go of her hand with satisfaction, leaving Meihua alone in the spot.
When a chicken is sad, another creature will be happy.
Simple Water Purifier No. 1: Hahaha, this dog-bitten shape is making me laugh to death!
Yu Zhu simply added 6 wooden boards to block its mouth tightly. Although there was no sound, it hurt her eyes.
Simple Water Purifier No. 1: ...
Other items: Hahaha.
About five minutes later, seeing Meihua still lying there, looking at its fur with great sadness, motionless, Yu Zhu directly threw 100g of raw fish in front of it.
plum bossom:!
Its eyes lit up and it instantly lost its memory. It didn't know what chicken feathers were. It turned its head and started pecking at the fish meat like a chicken, eating it with great pleasure.
Yu Zhu spent another wooden board and bought it an ordinary wooden bowl in the trading area, filled it with 100ml of water and placed it next to it.
There is enough food, but the water is really a worry, it is never enough to drink.
Her eyes involuntarily fell on the water purifier beside her.
Simple water purifier No. 1:?
What's the meaning?
