Chapter 15

The pot is ready, so we can add a stir-fry to dinner. Coconut oil is replaced with pork fat, and the stir-fry is indeed much more fragrant. There are too few ingredients, and Qiao Sheng's current cooking is also a big stir-fry. Slice the tenderloin, add chili, sprinkle a handful of corn kernels in it, and finally sprinkle some salt and take it out of the pot.

Anyway, at this stage, the main feature of this dish is to match it as you like. If it is cooked, it will be considered a completed task. If it tastes good, it will definitely be a completed task.

The soup is still pork rib soup. In order to quickly consume the wild boar, it can only be eaten every other meal. Fortunately, the pork rib kelp potato soup tastes good, otherwise it will definitely drive people crazy.

"It's a good thing that this is a wild boar. If it were a domesticated pig in real life, weighing hundreds of pounds, how could it be eaten up?" Qiao Sheng was secretly thankful while gnawing on the ribs.

After dinner, she lit a torch early and collected the fresh water and salt in the filter by the firelight. She also re-cleaned the filter and added seawater, making sure that the machine would start working as soon as the sun rose tomorrow.

Before going to bed, she cleaned up the materials in the capture net and replaced the planting pots with sweet potatoes and corn. These two crops were needed for experiments on making cornmeal and sweet potato vermicelli recently, so she had to prepare more.

Lying in bed, Qiao Sheng was worried that the fifteen-day protection period for novices was already halfway through. If she couldn't encounter an island in the next few days, the risk factor would soar if she went into the sea again after the protection period.

The shark swimming around in the deep sea and the jellyfish that were close to her left a deep impression on her last time. If they attacked her while she was digging for supplies on the seabed, she would probably die on the spot. It was scary to think about it.

Now she could only pray that the game would be kind and give the unlucky players a chance to survive, so that they could encounter islands a few more times during the protection period, otherwise she might really have to fight a shark or other attacking creatures to the death.

Thinking too much before going to bed, she ended up dreaming the whole night, all about fighting sharks, with her arms or legs bitten off every time. She woke up too many times and was confused when she woke up in the morning.

She didn't even know what a black dot was when she saw it in the distance.

The system suddenly gave a reminder that there was an island ahead and it would take four hours to get there. Hearing the mechanical sound, Qiao Sheng quickly asked two questions. The first was whether there were any other players' ships nearby, and the second was whether there was a friend system.

She had wanted to ask this question since she separated from Li Mu, but the system had never appeared and didn't give her a chance. She asked it quickly this time.

The system's answer was also very simple. No other players were detected approaching the island. The friend system was related to the ship upgrade.

[Player No. 38, please upgrade the ship as soon as possible and increase the system authority. ]

Qiao Sheng felt deep contempt from the other mechanical voice. It was obvious that she was disgusted that she had not upgraded the ship until now.

"Are you disgusted with me? I'm busy storing supplies and have no time to upgrade the floating board! Besides, you didn't give me any hints! As a system that binds players, you don't help and guide players conscientiously, and often ignore them. You still disgust me! Believe it or not, I will complain to you!" Qiao Sheng was also angry with the system.

I have been rambling for a long time, but the system has not responded at all. Qiao Sheng was so angry that she stood on the floating board and stomped her feet. If she was not afraid of knocking the floating board over, even jumping off the ground could not relieve her anger at the moment. After

drinking a bottle of coconut water and breathing for a long time, Qiao Sheng finally calmed down. Then she realized that she might have not communicated with anyone recently, and she was angry and impatient. How could such a small thing cause her to fight with the system and make herself so angry?

Breakfast was prepared while she was relieving herself. While eating breakfast, Qiao Sheng thought that it would take four hours to reach the island, which would be almost noon. Then she would go directly into the sea when there was no one around to dig rare metals and mud.

Looking at the small black dot in the distance, Qiao Sheng took out the pigskin backpack that he hadn't used for several days, and put a few roasted corns and a few glass bottles of coconut water in the front two compartments. Usually, if you move more on the floating board, you can feel the hunger and thirst value consumption accelerate. Don't walk halfway and suddenly the value drops.

The machete is also placed next to the backpack. It seems that there is nothing else that must be brought.

Next, the daily busy routine begins. First, harvest all the crops in the planting pots, and then plant another round. The materials in the fishing net are also harvested. The water filter has already started working, and the first basin of water has not been filtered yet, so it is not moved yet.

Then he collected all the dried wild boar meat on the drying rack and checked the freshness. It really had become longer. This way, he could dry more meat without any worries. It would be best if he could dry all the wild boar meat before it spoiled.

He originally thought that Li Mu had made too many drying racks. Now he realized that he was a farsighted person. Drying is a convenient and quick way to store meat.

He hung the fresh wild boar meat strips on the drying rack again and made sure that there was no urgent work at hand. Qiao Sheng began to collect supplies with a colander. Survival games are played without stopping for a moment. There is always something to do.

Once this person has work to do, she doesn't notice the passage of time. After consuming four brand new colanders, Qiao Sheng had a large pile of supplies behind her. The black dot island she saw in the morning was now in sight, revealing its entire appearance.

While the float was still approaching the island, she stuffed all the supplies she had collected in the morning into an empty storage box. She would pack them up at night, as she had to go up the mountains and down the sea before dawn.

When the float reached the rocky area of ​​the island, Qiao Sheng immediately tied her extended rope to a solid rock. The second thing she did was to make a cloth bag with a few banana leaves, cotton cloth and rope, picked up a lot of large and small stones on the shore, put them in the bag, and threw the temporary anchor into the sea on the side of the float facing the sea, and tied the other end of the rope to the float.

She was lucky to meet Li Mu before, and she didn't think of making preparations for both situations. But now, maybe it's getting closer to the end of the novice protection period, and she can't help but get nervous.

It is true that no one can get on the floating board without the owner's consent, but the rope she tied to the stone can be easily cut. If someone really damages it, this floating board is her last resort, and all her belongings are on it.

Starting from scratch is not terrible, but the future life has no toilet. Since she has lived a life without having to solve the three urgent problems in the sea, she can't even bear to think about it.

So it's always right to be careful. Looking around to make sure there are no other players' floating boards in the nearby sea, Qiao Sheng also checked his various values, and deliberately ate and drank some to fill up the value bar.

Then he hung the backpack on his chest again, picked up the machete and went into the sea.

Qiao Sheng regretted going into the sea from the rocky area. This was the wrong location. On the sea level, it was close to the rocks and the float could be fixed on the protruding rocks, but who would have thought that the rocks in the sea were also covered with moss.

No wonder Li Mu had to observe before going out to sea a few days ago. Thinking back to the last time he went into the sea, although the location where they docked the float was also in the rocky area, the sea area below the float was not so rocky.

Why didn't I speak more diligently at first and ask him what he was observing? How stupid I was.

While paying attention to the rare metals, Qiao Sheng tried hard to swim to the side. After a while, she found herself stupid. There were obviously many shells clinging to the cracks in the rocks.

But she was not in a hurry to collect them. These things have always been here and are close to her float. She can come down and collect them at any time. Now the main goal is still rare metals and mud.

Without goggles, Qiao Sheng's swimming ability is not very good, so she had to swim on the sea surface for a while and then put her head down to observe. After a while of this, she floated on the sea and looked back at the float. It was a long distance away before she saw the traces of rare metals.

After determining where the supplies were, Qiao Sheng floated to the surface, gasping for breath. It really takes courage to dig for those metals. On the last island, the rare metals were not too far from the coast, and the key point was that they were all sunk to the bottom of the sea, so it was quite easy to move them. This time,

the rare metals were a long way from the shore of the island, and they were all hanging on a tilted rock wall. Qiao Sheng could even see a shark swimming around there.

He prepared himself mentally for a long time. The main idea was that he was still in the novice protection period, with an invincible buff, and he didn't have to be afraid of anything. Qiao Qiao rushed forward bravely.

She dived into the sea and swam to the rock wall. Before digging, she turned her body to face the shark with her buttocks and pressed her face against the rock wall. She kept repeating to herself that she would not be afraid if she could not see the shark.

She used a machete to pry the rare metals on the rock wall and stuffed them into her bag. Unfortunately, her breath-holding time limited her digging speed. She had to float to the surface to take a breath and rest after prying two pieces.

It took Qiao Sheng two hours to go up and down to dig for these thirty or so rare metals. In the meantime, she even learned the skills of floating on the sea surface to drink water and eat corn.

After digging out the metal from the stone wall, Qiao Sheng dived to the seabed and dug up a lot of mud and sand. This required more digging, and many bottles and jars had to be used. The point was that no one could understand the pain of making without a diagram, and the amount of materials consumed was completely uncertain.

While she was busy, the shark swam back and forth around her. One time, she felt that the water flow around her was not right. When she turned her head, she saw it opening its mouth to eat fish. The visual impact was so great that even in the sea, Qiao Sheng felt that her legs were weak and she had no strength to kick the water.

There were rows of sharp teeth in that bloody mouth. Because she was close enough, Qiao Sheng could even see that each tooth had saw-like teeth. When it opened its mouth to eat fish, the meat around its mouth was still shaking. Observing this up close, she would be brave if she didn't have a nightmare tonight.
