Chapter 173
After dealing with these malicious people, Qiao Sheng and his friends still have to live their lives according to the routine. The purpose of the survival game is to collect supplies, expand the camp, and process food. Even if the famine has made them live in saturation, they can't stop doing what they should do.
The change of seasons and unknown dungeons will always bring them crises. Whether they can survive safely depends entirely on whether they have made sufficient preparations in the early stage.
So the two of them were busy with secondary processing of food and repairing the boat in the morning, and started to collect supplies in the afternoon, or take food to the trading system to exchange for some supplies. With the current size of their boat, it is enough to look down on the small wooden boats of a group of players.
This spring, as two northerners, we really felt what humidity is for the first time, because the rain almost never stopped, and drying became a problem. Things that originally only needed half a day or a day to dry in the sun now need two to three days to dry in the shade.
Because the time was extended, Qiao Sheng had to win by quantity. Now even the four-story cabin is full of ingredients that need to be dried.
In order to make more reasonable use of space, the ingredients that are dried inside are not directly spread on the ground, but Li Mu nailed rows of shelves with wooden boards, and each layer can be placed on the ingredients.
Qiao Sheng also studied methods to shorten the drying time, such as preparing sweet potatoes and potatoes for secondary processing, which can be sliced and then laid on the shelves.
This method is definitely faster than drying the whole food in the shade, and does not require secondary processing. Once grown, it should be put in the refrigerator. Because of the increase in food and medicinal materials, they now have a lot more refrigerators. They
even have to re-plan the area for placing refrigerators. In fact, for convenience, they were piled next to the greenhouse closer to the kitchen, but the increase in quantity forced them to open up a new area for refrigerators.
In order to make the refrigerator closer to the kitchen, they could only move the two front bathrooms to the back, so they had to compress the space behind the bathroom where the cassock cubs lived. Later, seeing that there was more space in the middle of the cabin, they simply put them all in the middle.
The back row is their storage room. Because it can be expanded at any time, there is no door, just rows of cabinets and boxes.
On the left are two bathrooms, and in front is the area dedicated to the refrigerator. The nests of Jiashazi and Xinxin were directly dismantled, and Yousu's big sofa was placed in the middle. A thick cushion was placed under the sofa, and Jiashazi and Xinxin usually slept in the cushion.
Sometimes they would jump onto the sofa and squeeze in with Yousu, but they were often rejected and dared to squeeze to the other side to sleep.
Ah Dai used to squat on the back of the sofa to rest. Since the little eagle came, Li Mu specially made a basket for him, put hay and cotton in it, and the little eagle slept in it, while Ah Dai squatted on the armrest of the sofa next to the basket.
Now Ah Dai has formed a special movement track. During the day, he strolls from the third floor to the second floor to play with the ducklings. At night, he returns to the duck nest on the third floor to swim and tease the mother duck. He is so busy that Qiao Sheng even jokingly calls him a master of time management. He is really good at both playing with friends and family.
Originally, Qiao Sheng and his friends' dining table was placed on the right side of the cabin, between the bamboo bed and the storage room. Now it has been moved to the middle of the cabin. Their chairs are on the left and right, and the other floor is where the new nest of the kasaya cubs is.
The problem of these cubs going to the toilet can now be perfectly solved. The toilet that was used to refresh the moldy wall is placed on the second-floor terrace. There is also a large wooden basin next to it with a lot of sand in it.
They haven't encountered any islands recently, so they asked Fang Yueyi and Xia Beibei to help dig them. They are specially used to wipe the butts of the kasaya cubs. Some wood ash is mixed in it. Just use it together. It's better than rubbing it everywhere.
Before, they would poop directly in the den, and Qiao Sheng and Li Mu would usually clean up after them. But when You Su came, they opened up a new world. This adult fox was different. It would go to Li Mu's bathroom to go to the toilet soon after it came.
This time, they were moved outside because of the untidy Jiashazi. It did learn to use the toilet like You Su, but its IQ couldn't keep up. Li Mu found its excrement next to the toilet several times.
It's okay to share a toilet with a clean animal, but it's a bit annoying to share it with a sloppy one. I had no choice but to move them all outside.
I also added a roof on the toilet. In this rainy weather, I can't let them get soaked when they go to the toilet.
After such a big move, they finally repacked the second deck. During this period, the two were still busy emptying containers, just to melt more iron products in the furnace. The overall reinforcement of the ship has been completed, but there is still a big gap in the storage of shells.
Ten cannons are already in place. It looks very impressive now, but in a real fight, it is useless without shells.
The two were busy every day. Qiao Sheng suddenly heard the system prompt that he had encountered a copy, but he didn't react. This time the copy is four, the star level is medium, it shouldn't be a problem.
The prompt is to arrive early the next morning, there will be two ships and 5 players arriving at the same time, and there will be another ship and 2 players arriving later.
After hearing these tips, Qiao Sheng felt that she had a lot of brains. Three ships and seven players were not many people. Even if there was a conflict when entering the dungeon, they still had Su and Ah Dai, two invisible fighters, so their combat power was not low.
The cassock cub and Xinxin had grown a lot recently. When Qiao Sheng passed by the cassock cub, she suddenly found that it was almost as tall as her chest when it stood up.
Usually, it was either paralyzed or crawling on all fours, so she didn't notice its growth.
I also talked to Fang Yueyi. Jinlan has grown taller now, but she is only as tall as Fang Yueyi's waist. After reviewing it, I think it has something to do with diet. Fang Yueyi's food is relatively vegetarian, all of which are cultivated cabbage and radish. The meat they eat is the fish they catch or the shark meat sent by Qiao Sheng. There is no way they would waste anything else to feed it.
Qiao Sheng's food is really fish, shrimp, crab meat, eggs, milk, carbohydrates and vegetables, so the cassock cub is obviously bigger now.
However, Baba at Xia Beibei's place is about the same size as Xinxin. She has no shortage of food, and Lin Haiyang's cooking skills are good. There are no other animals there to play with it, which has caused Baba to have a lot more fat around his waist than Xinxin.
Although the two guys have grown a lot in size, Qiao Sheng still doesn't plan to bring them into the dungeon this time. In her eyes, they are still too small, and their fighting power is definitely insufficient as minors.
Since she got the space ring, Qiao Sheng doesn't need to prepare food in advance before entering the dungeon or going to the island. When she cooks, she will make more food that is easy to carry and put it in the space ring in advance.
So before entering the dungeon, she can leisurely prepare weapons and medicines, check the durability of melee weapons and long-range weapons, and wear the reward equipment that should be brought.
You can't be careless with medicines. Baibaodan, cod liver oil, artificial skin film, and knockout drugs are all essential items. Antidote pills cannot be left behind. The two of them pieced together two bottles, a total of sixty pills. Each person put a bottle in a wrist bag. Not putting eggs in the same basket is basic common sense when playing the game.
After packing up, the two of them took a bath to relieve their fatigue and went to bed early to rest.
The next morning, before dawn, the two woke up. After washing, Li Mu went to the third floor to harvest the crops planted last night, and prepared a lot of food for the animals in the livestock area. It was really a dungeon, and once you enter, you don’t know how long it will take. Only
the two smart ones, Jiashazi and Xinxin, were left on the boat, but no matter how smart they were, they were still animals. It was good enough for them to feed themselves. There was no way they could feed other animals.
Then he went up to the fourth floor to collect all the dried ingredients and replaced them with another batch that needed to be dried, and then went downstairs.
At this time, Qiao Sheng had already prepared breakfast for the two of them. He also steamed two pots of big buns for Jiashazi and Xinxin. He also reminded Jiashazi to eat the two pots at an even pace. If he finished early, he would be hungry later.
Jiashazi was already used to controlling the amount of food he ate when the owner was not at home, and he also needed to control the amount of food for his little friend. In fact, now Xinxin did not need to control it much. When he was hungry, he just went to the place where their food was specially placed and took enough food for them. The two guys did a good job in this regard.
After breakfast, the sun had risen, and they could already see the island not far away from them. However, the structure of the island gave Qiao Sheng a headache. It was another high mountain, and there was even only one mountain on the entire island.
She hurried back to the cabin to take out the trekking pole that Li Mu had made for her, and went to the kitchen to make dozens of bottles of electrolyte water. It was really too difficult for her to climb directly to the top of the mountain in her current physical condition.
Li Mu stood at the bow, looking up to study the mountain in front of him. He was not afraid of anything else, but he was afraid of encountering a volcano. If they were halfway up the mountain and the volcano suddenly erupted, they wouldn't even be able to run away.
And a four-star island obviously wouldn't be as simple as just letting them climb a mountain.
He called Ah Dai over and asked it to fly up the mountain quickly to bring back some soil from the top of the mountain. He also prepared a small cloth bag for it. After flying up and putting it down, it could scoop the soil into the small cloth bag and then grab it and bring it back.
Although Ah Dai was unhappy about the interruption of his interaction with the little eagle, he still grabbed the bag and flew off. The little eagle stood on the deck and flapped its wings, wanting to fly, but was caught by Li Mu, brought back to the cabin, and put in its own basket. He also told Jiashazi and Xinxin not to bully the little eagle.
In fact, this instruction was not very meaningful, it was just a casual remark. Because of Ah Dai's suppression, the two guys did not dare to bully the little eagle at all. They were even trained by Ah Dai to take out the meat strips and goat milk that the little eagle ate when they ate.
Qiao Sheng said that the animals in the livestock area upstairs did not receive such treatment, simply because there was no boss who could control the cassock cub, and the two of them did not think of using the cassock cub as a nanny, which led to its habit of only taking care of the small piece of land in front of it.
Ah Dai was very fast, and soon he came back with the small cloth bag. Li Mu spread out the cloth bag and studied the soil, and then he was relieved. It was obviously not the geology of a volcano, but this soil did not look like the geology of an ordinary mountain. After all, he was not a geologist, and he could not figure out what was wrong.
