Chapter 2
At a loss of what to do, Qiao Sheng casually picked up the three drift bottles she had just collected. The more you open these things, the easier it is to open them.
The first bottle contained three potatoes. Looking at the narrow glass bottle mouth and the three large potatoes, Qiao Sheng sighed. It was indeed a game. Any unreasonable situation could happen.
The second and third bottles were still production diagrams. Seeing the names of the items on them, Qiao Sheng felt that she was just like an idiot. She wasted so many materials to try. Why couldn't she use her brain to open the drift bottle first? Sure
enough, the emperor of Europe may not only be related to luck, but also IQ is a threshold. Maybe some people are not unlucky, but have treasures without knowing it, such as herself.
There are two diagrams, one is a simple seawater filter, and the other is a simple grill.
The materials needed for the simple seawater filter are: 5 wooden boards, 3 iron products, and 5 plastic products.
The simple grill is even simpler: 8 wooden boards and 5 iron products.
Both of the above machines need fuel to be used.
After calculating the materials, adding and subtracting, it is enough to make a filter and a simple grill. The machines do not take up much space. Qiao Sheng deliberately placed these two in the middle of the four floating boards. After all, she is poor now. These are her only two important belongings. She depends on these two machines to eat and drink enough.
As for the fuel, considering that the wood board is used in large quantities, she decided to make five bundles of ropes with ten leaves, carry the kettle that comes with the filter to the side of the float, fill it with seawater, and put the kettle back on the filter.
Then she stuffed the rope into the fuel storage area under the machine.
Just when she was worrying about how to make a fire, the filter automatically ignited and began to heat the seawater. Qiao Sheng was quite happy about this, otherwise she might have died of thirst and couldn't find a way to solve the problem of fire.
She also considered the matter of making fire by drilling wood, but it was a pity that she only had theory but no practical experience. Fortunately, this game was not killed off.
While waiting, Qiao Sheng was not idle. She continued to scoop with a colander while secretly timing. A rope can burn for about two minutes. She added rope to the water filter twice before it prompted that it was successful and fresh water could be taken out of the filter.
She checked the fuel tank at the bottom of the machine and found half a rope left. Roughly estimated, it would take about five minutes to complete a water filtration job.
Pour the fresh water in the water filter into an empty glass bottle. A full pot of sea water can get one and a half bottles of fresh water. Fortunately, there is no limit on the amount of sea water.
He refilled the filter's jug with seawater, took out the remaining half rope, and replaced it with a piece of wood as fuel. Although he was reluctant, Qiao Sheng was still ready to try them all to see which material was more economical to use as fuel.
This time, the wood board was not completely burned until the filter finished producing fresh water. After checking the burning situation, he estimated that a piece of wood could burn for about ten minutes.
In terms of consumption, it is more cost-effective to use wood boards as fuel. However, considering that the production of two new machines requires a large number of wood boards, and the amount of wood boards and leaves collected is not much different, Qiao Sheng decided to use whichever material has more surplus in the future, and balance consumption, and resolutely not let any one of them be in short supply.
After two productions, it took ten minutes to obtain three bottles of fresh water. Qiao Sheng put away two of the bottles of fresh water and prepared to study the simple grill while drinking water. After all, you can't see the character data, and you can't be sure when you will be hungry. It's best to prepare in advance.
[Congratulations to player No. 38 for drinking fresh water and unlocking to view the player's game data. ]
Qiao Sheng, who was originally circling around the grill, immediately stopped and began to study his game data. It turned out that it was not that he couldn't find the data, but that he needed to unlock it.
This time it was easy to find his own data. The so-called data is actually a few wide lines.
The first line is marked with a water drop, which means whether it is thirsty. The second line is marked with an appetite, which should be the degree of fullness. The third line is even simpler, with a red heart drawn. This must be the health bar. The fourth line is a small piece of clothing.
Qiao Sheng guessed for a long time but still couldn't figure out what it was. However, seeing that it was still full, she stopped worrying and waited for it to start falling down and then combined with its own situation to find out.
Below it was a record of the production diagrams that she had unlocked and the ship level 1.
Qiao Sheng scratched her head and was sure that this game was really not a good thing. It was just a floating board, but it had the nerve to say that it was a ship. Who gave it the courage!
Unable to complain, Qiao Sheng picked up the three potatoes and two sweet potatoes on the floating board and decided to change her mind. These two things could be planted as seeds. It would be a waste to eat them directly. The key point was that she had just carefully observed her fullness and she still had more than half of it.
Live by the sea, eat by the sea, now she is going to try to make a fishing rod first, and if she still fails when she is half full, she will eat potatoes and sweet potatoes. She
did it right away, picked up the plank and rope and started trying. After two failures, she was happy to hear the successful production prompt. Sure enough, this game is either the emperor of Europe who keeps opening the production chart, or she is like this, using imagination and not afraid of wasting materials.
Holding this fishing rod made of a plank, a rope, and a piece of iron, Qiao Sheng sat on the edge of the floating board. Without bait, she could only take the bait willingly.
After throwing the hook out, she started waiting. Two minutes later, Qiao Sheng felt something sink in her hand. Even though she had never fished before, she knew that she was hooked. She pulled it up suddenly, and a dark shadow hung on the hook flew towards her quickly.
Qiao Sheng dodged and used her hand to steady the rope that served as the fishing line. Only then did she see clearly that the dark shadow was actually a shoe.
When she took the shoe off the hook, she felt it was a bit heavy. She originally thought that there was a fish in the shoe, but after checking it, she was surprised again.
[Name: Shoe Basin, Acquisition Method: Fishing Associate Product, Use: Can be used for planting or decoration. γ
"This game is a bit indifferent to life and death. Planting food in shoes is too strong." She complained in her mouth and was in a dilemma with potatoes and sweet potatoes in her hands. She vaguely remembered that one of the two crops could be planted in pieces, while the other had to be planted as a whole.
After thinking about it, she decided to try the potatoes with a larger quantity first. Without a knife to cut, she cut the potatoes into three parts and buried one of them in the shoe basin. It reminded her that she needed to irrigate with fresh water. She
just got three bottles of fresh water. She drank half of it and had two bottles left. She poured the remaining half bottle of fresh water into the shoe basin with a painful feeling. It reminded her that the potatoes were growing. The next step was to wait.
Qiao Sheng didn't waste this time, she continued fishing with her fishing rod, and this time she had a good harvest, catching two yellow croakers, one hairtail, three shoe basins, and two pieces of kelp.
She put the two yellow croakers into a simple grill, added wood planks as fuel, and put the kelp on a floating board where it would not get in the way to dry. She couldn't eat it for the time being, mainly because she didn't have a pot, which affected her performance. She couldn't think about the kelp knots in the spicy hot pot anymore, the more she thought about it, the more she craved it.
She didn't move the shoe basin, wanting to wait for the previous potato harvest to see the effect. She didn't have enough knowledge about planting, so she was still exploring. If it succeeded, it would mean that sweet potatoes needed to be planted in a whole plot. If it failed, it would mean that she remembered it wrong. As long as there was no shortage of food, there was a chance to try.
Considering that planting would require a lot of fresh water, she started the seawater filter again. During this time, Qiao Sheng also took a colander to scoop for a while. Ten minutes later, the remaining three empty glass bottles were all filled with fresh water.
There were no extra glass bottles for fresh water, so she took the jug off the filter and prepared to filter another jug ββin case of emergency. She thought that since she had already filtered four rounds, she should at least clean the inner tank. When she looked inside, she was surprised to find a lot of white substances on the bottom of the jug.
Qiao Sheng was not stupid. Seawater could be filtered into fresh water, and salt could also be made. However, before she tried it, she found that the filter actually had a byproduct. If she hadn't wanted to clean the jug, she might not have discovered it.
She put the pot down and searched for something to hold salt in her supplies. She finally chose a plastic box, scraped all the salt from the bottom of the pot, carefully put it into the plastic box, and tasted it secretly to make sure it was salt before putting it away. She refilled
the pot with seawater and let the filter continue to work to make fresh water. After putting these away, the yellow croaker on the simple grill was cooked. She took a plastic sheet as a spoon and started to eat the fish meat while the grill was burning.
The first bite felt that the taste was wrong. There were fish scales on the fish meat. The second bite tasted even worse. She scraped it a few times with the plastic sheet and knew where the problem was.
She was too impatient and didn't handle the fish after catching them. She threw them directly on the grill to cook. She didn't scrape the scales, remove the internal organs, or even add salt. You can imagine how bad the fish tasted.
She bit the bullet and ate all the edible parts of the two grilled fish. She checked her stomach and found that it had returned to normal. At least her life was safe.
She put the remaining fish bones and internal organs in a relatively empty place on the float, and found a larger plastic box to cover it. She took a plastic bottle, tied it with a rope, and propped it on a corner of the plastic box, just like catching sparrows when she was a child. Just now she saw birds flying in the sky.
Eating fish alone is not enough, the menu must be enriched. Holding the trap rope in one hand and the colander in the other, he continued to fish in the sea.
Facts have proved that catching birds is much more difficult than fishing. Until the colander in his hand ran out of durability, he didn't catch a single bird.
With the previous experience, Qiao Sheng decided to open the drifting bottles first this time. He opened four bottles and found a sweet potato, two potatoes and a machete to make a pattern.
As soon as she saw the weapon production diagram, she was shocked. The weapons given in the game must be dangerous and hostile. The birds flying in the sky did not cause any harm to her, so the danger must come from the bottom of the sea. Looking at the black seabed, Qiao Sheng frowned.
She shouted a few words to the system, but got no response. Qiao Sheng decided not to waste time and made the machete first. Then she found a fatal problem. The materials needed for the machete were 3 wooden boards, 3 iron products, and 1 steel. She had been collecting for most of the day, but she had not seen any trace of steel.
Since she couldn't make a machete, she might as well expand her thinking and make some other weapons. This machete also provided her with an idea. The materials of the machete were three each, so she changed it to 2 wooden boards and 2 iron products. Sure enough, it succeeded immediately.
After weighing the newly-made iron gun in her hand, Qiao Sheng also made a few forward thrusts and found that the iron gun was quite handy and the weight was quite suitable. She estimated that the damage would definitely not be as high as that of the machete, but it would be safer than bare hands.
Qiao Sheng was very busy afterwards. She made two fishing rods, four sieves, and bird traps. She caught an animal she didn't recognize. After checking, she found out that it was a puffin.
The question before her was whether to eat unfamiliar creatures, how to eat them, and whether they were nationally protected animals. Qiao Sheng was stunned when she thought of this question. As expected, the education she received since childhood had made her first reaction to seeing unfamiliar creatures was whether to punish them. She even forgot that this was a survival game.
After looking at the dozen or so fish caught on the floating board, Qiao Sheng still chose to release the puffin, mainly because there was no shortage of food.
