Chapter 199

In the days that followed, Qiao Sheng and Li Mu once again started an endless cycle, spending their days busy planting pots, fishing, collecting supplies, and decomposing animal carcasses.

The first thing Qiao Sheng did every day was to go to the system store to redeem points, and the last thing she did before closing her eyes was to put all the needed supplies in the ring space.

This repeated until the morning of the seventh day, when she had just sold all the supplies refreshed on the purchase page, and the store reminded her that her reputation had reached level one, and there were many more items available for sale on the purchase page.

When Qiao Sheng saw the things to be purchased, he felt even more stressed. In addition to coarse grains, the store could purchase 50 catties of food per day, 5 points per catty, 20 catties of animal meat per day, 5 points per catty, 20 catties of medicinal materials per day, 10 points per catty, and 30 iron products per day, 5 points each.

Qiao Sheng reported everything he saw, and Li Mu helped him calculate and concluded that he could use up the quota. Level 0 reputation could only provide 380 points per day, while level 1 reputation could provide 700 points per day.

If they play every day, they can get 1080 points. Animal meat is hard to come by. They have to go to the island to hunt it. Although the refrigerator is full of meat now, they are not sure whether there will be a shortage of meat in the future.

"I suddenly regret the animal meat I sold a few days ago." Qiao Sheng felt a little distressed.

"I won't go to the trading system to buy animal meat in the future. Except for eating it ourselves, the rest will be used to save points." Li Mu also felt that they were a bit wasteful a few days ago. No one thought that the system store had such a trick.

After studying the purchase page, Qiao Sheng clicked on the sale page. Sure enough, three items were highlighted this time. After all, she is now a player with a first-level reputation.

After clicking on it, Qiao Sheng's expression was speechless. She had earned points for a week. The first six days were 380 points a day. Today, she earned 1080 points. She couldn't even afford the first cheapest butcher knife in the mall.

After reading the introduction of the butcher knife, this animal is quite useful to them, after all, with their current speed of skilled workers. If someone helps, Li Mu can decompose a wild boar in 15 minutes, while Qiao Sheng is slower, about 20 minutes.

If it is a single operation, it will take longer. Li Mu needs about 25 minutes, and she takes half an hour.

According to the introduction, this butcher knife is specially used to decompose animal carcasses. It can also classify fur, internal organs, bones, and meat. It only takes one minute to read the article. It is simply a must-have for home and travel.

But the price is so expensive that it gives people a headache. Qiao Sheng counted for a long time and determined that it was 35,000 points. After asking Li Mu to calculate, they still need 30 days to exchange this butcher knife.

The other two prices are not cheap either. They are a mining hoe and a logging axe. According to the above introduction, a hoe can produce five times the usual mineral output rate. The same is true for the axe. It can produce more materials in a shorter time.

After careful calculation, the three tools are actually the most basic ones. They are all good things, but it takes a long time to replace them all. A knife takes more than a month, and the points required for a pick and an axe are almost doubled, 50,000 each.

The two who once thought they were quite wealthy now only felt that their family background was very thin.

When Qiao Sheng got up, washed, and had breakfast, he received another system notification, saying that they would encounter an island in the evening. There were players on the island and in the nearby sea.

The two discussed it and decided to go to the island. After all, animal meat is hard to come by, and other players with fewer players don’t like to hunt these animals. On the one hand, it’s because of the weather, and on the other hand, it’s because of storage.

Therefore, the two of them were not in a hurry to collect other items when they went to the island. Their main energy was focused on hunting. They had less contact with others and less conflicts.

After making the decision, they had to do other preparations before going to the island. Li Mu had to finish the half-decomposed animal carcasses in the refrigerator. Qiao Sheng went to the third floor to collect the crops in the planting pots and changed them all to planting Panax notoginseng. Twenty kilograms a day was not a small amount.

When planting, Qiao Sheng was still wondering whether to dry them in the sun or plant them fresh. After all, there was moisture in them, and the weight was almost the same.

After doing all this, Qiao Sheng went into the kitchen. The food in her ring space was all kinds of cold skin and cold noodles. It was a bit inconvenient to eat these in the wild on the island.

She and Li Mu could still get along, and they could just eat roasted corn and sweet potatoes, but she couldn't deal with Su and Ah Dai when she went out. They didn't know when they started to think that these roasted grains were snacks and desserts.

Eating these things would definitely not affect their meals. In order to make them work hard, she would steam some buns for them before going out, and give them some buns at mealtime, which was convenient and quick.

Since she had cooked for them, she couldn't really let herself and Li Mu down, so she also made some simple and convenient things to eat, such as big pancakes.

This time Qiao Sheng cooked more carefully. After all, she had been making a mess of cooking since summer. In such hot weather, normal people would not like to work in front of such a hot stove. Li Mu also thought so. He could use a simple grill to solve the problem and would never turn on the fire.

So when he heard the sound of Qiao Sheng beating eggs, he was quite curious about what lunch was made.

He had a meal at noon, egg pancakes with various sauces and various vegetable shreds. The two people who ate cold noodles all the time suddenly ate a lot of rice. The amount of rice was much larger. Qiao Sheng originally had 53 egg pancakes.

Thinking that the cassock cubs would each try one, she and Li Mu would each eat five. Even if Li Mu had a big appetite, six or seven would be enough.

Unexpectedly, the two of them didn't keep any of the egg pancakes because

they were so tasty. Li Mu ate twelve and she ate nine. After the cassock cubs finished their own, they started to play around and act cute, trying to get free food and drinks. Looking at the 27 egg pancakes left in the ring, she chose the former. It was not easy. These little babies followed them around every day, busying around all day just for this bite of food. If they were not given food to eat, they might rebel at any time.

The four big cassock cubs were given two egg pancakes each, and the little eagle was given half a pancake because it was too small. Because the amount was small, the little guy was quite unhappy.

I poked its head and told it that the family would not keep idle birds, when it would generate income, and when the food would be increased. I don’t know if this guy understood it, but he ate the one in his bowl and got a quarter of the one from Ah Dai.

In the afternoon, Li Mu went fishing, thinking that he would be very busy in the next few days and would not have time to fish, but 50 deep-sea fish a day was unshakable. After Qiao Sheng sold dozens of egg pancakes, he was still complaining when he came down with the watermelon. I don’t know what this system is thinking.

Other fish are calculated by kilogram, why this fish has to be calculated by piece, and the points given are so low. While speaking, Li Mu just caught one, this fish is really big and fat, it makes people hungry just by looking at it.

"I think I understand. If it's 50 kilograms of deep-sea fish, maybe a few fish a day will be enough. The fundamental purpose of this system is to make us work harder. These 50 points are like radishes caught in front of us. It's not satisfying to eat them." Qiao Sheng pouted as he looked at the fish thrown into the barrel.

Li Mu's speed of catching fish is always much faster than Qiao Sheng's, so it didn't take long for him to catch more than a hundred fish. Thinking that he could continue fishing every night after returning from the island, he was not in a hurry.

Holding the half-eaten watermelon, the two of them moved to the second floor. I don't know if it's because of the ventilation, even if the same amount of ice cubes are used, the second floor will always have two more than the first floor.

The rest time is always short. Sure enough, after nightfall, their boats all stopped at the shore. Because it was too dark outside, Qiao Sheng couldn't see whether the island was high or not, or whether there were many forests. In order to ensure their own safety, they had to wait until tomorrow morning to go to the island.

However, there were three other boats parked not far from where they parked. Because they were all hung with torches, they could see them clearly. The boat closest to them was not small either, with three floors. It didn't have a terrace like Qiao Sheng's, so the cabins on each floor were the same size.

This boat was full in front of them. If they hadn't seen two other boats before docking, they couldn't see the other boats from the current angle.

Qiao Sheng stood on the terrace and observed for a while. On the three-story boat next to him, it was initially estimated that there were three women. It was unknown whether there were other teammates on the island. At this time, there were only three female players on the boat. One should be cooking, and the other two were busy with something else. Anyway, they all lowered their heads.

Qiao Sheng saw through the wooden window that the other party had opened. He could only see half of her body, but he could confirm the number of people standing and moving.

When she returned to the cabin, she began to itch up and down. Li Mu walked over and saw that there were several mosquito bites on her arms and legs. He quickly gave her some medicine to apply, and asked her why she had to go to the terrace to check. She couldn't go back to the cabin to get information, so she had to go to the terrace to check.

"It's dark on the terrace. I hid next to the tree in the large planting pot. People on the opposite side couldn't see me at all. If I stood in the cabin and looked over there, wouldn't it be easy for people to notice that we were peeping?" Qiao Sheng nonchalantly pressed a cross mark on the mosquito bite with her fingernails. She felt that this would relieve the itch better.

Seeing her carelessness, Li Mu didn't say anything else. He hurried upstairs to replace the wormwood everywhere, and then replaced the herbs in the sachets they carried with them. Seeing so many sachets on Qiao Sheng, it was obvious that the sachets had expired.

At night, the two turned off the lights early and prepared to go to bed. They heard the sound of players outside in a daze. Qiao Sheng tried to open his eyes to check the situation several times, but failed. He turned over and continued to sleep.

Li Mu got up and went to the window to take a look. The people on the three boats should have returned together. They all came back empty-handed, and it seemed that they did not bring back any living things.

Four men and one woman boarded the boat closest to them, and another four men and four women went to the two boats next to them. Because of the large boat blocking the middle, it was impossible to see how the eight people were arranged. We could only know the approximate number of people. Thirteen people went to the island, and three female players stayed on the boat in the middle. The rest would have to wait until dawn to go to the island.
