Chapter 32 September 27th
It seemed like the data had just been read, but the game prompt sounded like a heavy gasp and did not end.
[After testing: The current number of survivors in your server 4366 is 6842, and the survival rate of this survival challenge is as high as 68%]
[Reward: 1 day off]
[Friendly reminder: On rest days when there are no disasters or dangers, the minimum living allowance will not be issued on that day. Please be informed.]
The players who were so happy one second ago suddenly had their smiles disappear in the next second.
Xiang Tianlei: ??? You know you're receiving the minimum living allowance?
Lezhi: **, they are also deducting money from the minimum living allowance, do they have any humanity at all!
Qiu Jun: You give me a little bit every day, but today you don't give me anything at all?
[Feng Hao: I knew this shit game was up to no good! It's so fucking stupid!]
…
When 9:00 arrived, the players went to the edge of the raft and looked. Sure enough, there was nothing on the sea, empty, making people want to punch the game twice.
Only those players who suffered heavy losses truly breathed a sigh of relief. They didn't want to fight anymore, didn't want to live in fear anymore, and just wanted to lie comfortably in their homes that had been looted by sharks, lick their wounds, and shed tears silently.
Yu Zhu didn't react much to this. Her attention was no longer here. She was completely focused on the intermediate island map, which was also her next key target.
Holding the map in his hand, he looked at the rows of question marks on it. Just like the intermediate recipes, he needed to use them first before he could view the specific contents.
After clicking to use the map, a dazzling blue light burst out in front of my eyes, and a real map appeared. The style of the map was very simple, just like the treasure maps seen in cartoons, with only a few short lines, some near, some far, turning left and right, and finally pointing directly to an island.
And then... nothing more. Is this the intermediate island map?
Yu Zhu almost went crazy. She thought she could see information about the island, but it turned out she was overthinking it.
This map is at most a signpost, responsible for telling players where the intermediate islands are. As for how you get there, how long it will take, and whether you can get there at all, it all depends on the player's luck.
Apart from this, its only use is its built-in positioning. Yu Zhu can see his current location through the map, which is quite far away from the island.
Wait, why did she see the raft drifting in the opposite direction? Wasn't it getting further and further away from the intermediate island?
This game is quite considerate. In order to prevent players from committing suicide, the game sends players away first.
Yu Zhu: It’s hard to comment.
After all, if they continue along this path, other players will never be able to discover the intermediate island.
The sea is boundless. Unless the player can independently control the direction of the raft and hold a map with built-in positioning, he can find the island without deviating from the course.
However, it doesn’t matter if it takes the wrong path, Yu Zhu will help it correct itself for free and save the ignorant lost raft.
Before that, she decided to open the trading area to see if the players had any new products on the shelves.
During this period, the caring assistant Fu Wanwan came to report on her work again.
[Fu Wanwan: Yu Zhu~ I've compiled a list of all the survival rewards and will share them with you!]
【Yu Zhu: OK】
There are five levels of performance in this survival challenge: SS, S, A, B, and C.
① Players with [Intermediate Parasol + Simple Shelter] have an S performance and receive a reward of: a random normal island map, 1 attribute point, 100 experience points, and normal accessories. ② Players with [Normal Parasol + Simple Shelter] have an A performance and receive a reward of: a random normal recipe, 1 attribute point, 90 experience points, and normal accessories.
Among them, based on ②, the amount of resource loss and the level of damage caused to the shark will affect the performance score. From A on down, B and C only have a guaranteed experience value reward.
Boss Luo (Luo Xincheng) revealed that because he sold intermediate parasols, he got SS performance this time and was rewarded with: random ordinary island maps x2 + attribute points x1 + experience points x120 + intermediate accessories. Players who also sold ordinary parasols also started with a guaranteed A performance.
Note: The difference between SS and S levels is 1 ordinary island map + 20 experience points + accessory level.
Luo Xincheng's SS was definitely lucky, but the prerequisite was that he had a good foundation. He achieved 100% completion in the first mission, obtained a random intermediate formula, and opened the key props for the second mission.
This is also the reason why many rich people will become richer and richer. As long as they make the first money and grab a bit of luck, it is easy to take off. Although luck is part of strength, it is absolutely impossible to do without luck. You have to have some luck. The same is true for players who can open ordinary parasols. They don’t have to worry about not being able to pass this task.
When Fu Wanwan first started counting, she thought S was the limit. It wasn't until Luo Xincheng's experience refreshed her understanding that she thought, maybe this is just fate? Some people are just lucky. But then she thought of Yu Zhu, who, with her sheer strength, had crushed the sharks, seemingly defying fate. Suddenly, she perked up and realized she needed to improve! Getting stronger is crucial!
Yu Zhu did not prescribe any formula for parasols, but Fu Wanwan felt that she was at least SS-level, and she was definitely more biased towards Yu Zhu out of selfishness. Although Boss Luo was also very powerful, Yu Zhu was the well-deserved SS in her mind!
Then, Fu Wanwan saw the message from Yu Zhu...
Yu Zhu: I'm SSS, and I have a mid-level island map.
Fu Wanwan: What? SSS? Damn, you're so awesome!
If she hadn't retained a shred of rationality, Fu Wanwan would have already run out and blown it! But she quickly calmed down and realized something was wrong.
Fu Wanwan: Wait, this idiot game is doing this on purpose, right? They're not giving you a mid-level island map just because you killed a shark? How dangerous would that be?
Yu Zhu: Almost.
Fu Wanwan: Oh my god, you must be careful. Go only when you are ready. We are all waiting for your return!
Yu Zhu: OK~
Fu Wanwan: Ahhh! How can you be so calm? I'm so anxious! I really want to tell you not to go, but on second thought, that's not possible. After all, risks and opportunities coexist. I can only wish you good luck. I'll have everyone pray for you later! Activate! Mystical power! Bless my Ah Zhu!
Yu Zhu was amused. How could she be so cute? It made people want to spend money on her, and she did so.
Yu Zhu: I'm giving away 100g of strawberries, 100g of cherries, 100g of lychees, and 150g of dates. I grew some fruit myself, so you can try some.
Fu Wanwan: !!! We really aren’t doing this (swallows saliva) (lack of confidence)
Yu Zhu: It’s okay, I know (firm belief)
Fu Wanwan: Time is running out. I'll take them to worship the Sea God right now!
After chatting with Fu Wanwan, Yu Zhu's alarm clock rang. She turned around and saw that the cucumbers were ripe.
We harvested 3 cucumbers, weighing 500g in total. They are short and plump fruit cucumbers, and look very juicy.
Yu Zhu took one and started eating. It was crispy, juicy, and slightly sweet. It was quite delicious. She threw a small piece into Meihua's bowl. They both ate the chicken happily.
Afterwards, Yu Zhu planted another pepper seed. After two days of planting and some rain, she finally saw what she wanted to buy.
If she wanted to control the raft, she didn't need to consider a power engine at all. Yu Zhu had no fuel, so she could only rely on the most basic wind, water and manpower.
The water power is useless for the time being, it's sending her further away...
Human power is also unrealistic. With such a large raft, even if she worked herself to death, she wouldn't be able to row it very far.
At present, we can only adjust the direction with the help of the wind at sea.
Yu Zhu had been farming for nearly half an hour. The items obtained from this ordinary recipe also depended on the drop rate. Suddenly, there were a lot more people selling sails, which were roughly divided into triangular sails and square sails.
Yu Wenzheng: Triangular sail (pictured), suitable for sailing against the wind, exchanged for 860g of water/24 wooden planks, 24 plastic sheets, 10 ropes, 4 nails, and 2 scraps.
[Shan Ziqian: Square Sail (pictured), suitable for downwind sailing, exchange for 920g of water/24 planks + 30 plastics + 10 ropes + 4 nails + 2 pieces of debris]
Kong Changming: Flow stabilizer (pictured), ensuring the raft's steady progress. Customizable. Each 1x1m square meter is exchanged for 160g of water/32 wooden planks.
[Fan Qi: Rudder blade (pictured), controls the direction of the boat, can be customized, each 1x1m, replace 160g of drinking water/plastic x16]
…
The accessories are all very scattered, and it seems that you have to assemble them yourself. Players who don’t know how to do it will probably have a headache.
Yu Zhu first felt the wind direction. Although the wind direction was related to the direction of seawater flow, it was also affected by the rotation of the earth and was not absolute. He needed to distinguish it himself.
It happened to be raining, and from the direction of the rain, she could tell that the wind direction was opposite to Yu Zhu's target. She had also expected this, and felt that she would probably sail against the wind most of the time in the future, so she decided to buy a triangular sail for the time being.
As for the stabilizers and rudder blades, these accessories look fancy and are used to confuse people. They are indeed suitable for sailboats, but don't forget that she is on a raft now, and Yu Zhu will not be fooled.
Considering the size of the raft, Yu Zhu finally decided to buy three triangular sails.
