Chapter 20

Every day, there is endless work waiting for Qiao Sheng as soon as she opens her eyes. She stays in bed for a while under the direct sunlight before getting up.

After getting up, she brushes her teeth and washes her face. The conditions were tough in the past few days, so she just rinsed her mouth with salt water. Yesterday, she found willow branches on the island. She didn't cut down the trees, but she did cut a lot of willow branches. She really hasn't brushed her teeth recently, and she always feels that something is missing, which makes her uncomfortable.

Last night, she cut a willow branch the length of her index finger and soaked it in fresh water. She took it out, tore off a piece of bark, and bit the branch until the fiber came out and it softened. Then she poured some salt into her hand and started brushing her teeth with the branch.

Even if the branch was softened, it was not as comfortable as the toothbrush she bought before, and there was no toothpaste. While brushing, she felt that life was too difficult. If she lived like this, she could only struggle to make ends meet, not to mention achieving a well-off life. She had no quality of life at all.

After breakfast, I took out some burlap and spread it on the floating board. I also spread the wheat ears harvested a few days ago on the burlap. It seemed that there were not many when I was harvesting wheat, but when I spread it out, I found that there were actually quite a lot. I

walked around the floating board to collect the supplies in the fishing net, and then I took out the radish from the storage box. I squatted beside the floating board and washed the radish with sea water. In order to wash off the dirt and mud on the radish skin, I didn't care what kind of water it was.

The radishes dug before plus the ones planted in the past few days, there are about 100 of them. At first, I squatted and rubbed the radishes. My legs were numb from rubbing them, so I changed to sitting on the floating board with my legs crossed. When I finished rubbing the last radish, Qiao Sheng couldn't stand up. He stayed in the same position for too long and his legs were numb.

I moved the radishes to the kitchen area. I usually cut them by the stove when I cook and cut vegetables. This time, the workload was quite heavy. Bending over to cut would not only make my legs numb, but also my waist would be injured. After a

long discussion, I decided to move my work to the dining table. Even if I couldn't sit and cut, at least I could stand up and not be too tired.

I took a piece of wood and polished it to use as a chopping board. I cut off the ends of the radishes, sliced ​​them, and then cut them into strips. Each radish was as thick as a finger. It took me half a day to cut more than a hundred radishes. I had lunch at the corner of the table because there was no place. There were two wooden basins on the table, one for the uncut radishes and the other for the cut radish strips.

This was to reduce the number of activities. After cutting one basin of radishes, I filled another one. When the basin of radish strips was full, I poured it on the banana leaves on the floating board. There was no big container, so I just laid them flat after I finished cutting them.

In the end, Qiao Sheng kept ten radishes, some for herself and some for the rabbit, and cut up the rest. Since there was not enough salt at home, they could only dry them directly. When

she spread them to the back, the banana leaves she had saved were not enough, so she put the large coconut leaves on top. When she stood up and looked, there were only a few narrow paths on the entire floating board, connecting the kitchen, bedroom and toilet, and the rest of the places were completely inaccessible.

Afraid of stepping on the radish strips, she tiptoed to the drying rack, picked up all the dried pork, and replaced it with fresh pork. These had to be dried quickly, as there was not much freshness left, and if they were not dried, they would be wasted.

After arranging the food, Qiao Sheng took an empty storage box and five newly made sieves and stood on the floating board. He scooped for a while with his butt sticking out. He felt uncomfortable with the net blocking him, but it was a bit unsafe to lie on the net.

He simply took down a net and scooped in the gap. He scooped until dark. All the sieves in his hands disappeared, and the storage box beside him was filled with a lot of things.

For dinner, I grilled rabbit legs on the grill, and cooked pork ribs in a clay pot on the stove. This time, I didn't put corn in it, but radish cubes and kelp. At least there were vegetables. There was no shortage of meat these days, but there were few vegetables. There were so many sick sailors in the sailing era. Who could bear it without vegetables? I still had to find a way to get more green leafy vegetables and fruits rich in vitamin C.

After dinner, I went to collect the rabbit skins that had been exposed to the sun for two days. This time, I dried them thoroughly. I haven't figured out how to make them yet. I'll wait until winter. Don't make them now. It would be embarrassing if they get fat or thin in winter and don't fit.

Once the rabbit skins were put away, a lot of space became available on the float. Finally, she didn't have to walk on tiptoes anymore. Mai Sui also checked and turned over. It would take another day to dry it. The day after tomorrow, the grains would be threshed.

Qiao Sheng took out the newly collected plastic products, made a new bamboo chair and sat in the storage area, and began to make floats. Five sieves brought up nearly 150 pieces of plastic products in total. She only needed 104 floats to upgrade the boat. She already had 36 pieces, and there were still 68 pieces left. The materials brought up today were enough.

The finished floats were all put into the storage box. It was too late today. She would wait until tomorrow morning to tie them up. That was a physical job. She should go to bed early tonight and conserve her energy.

Before going to bed, she opened the ten drift bottles she had just brought up, and unexpectedly found the blueprints of wooden walls and decks. Holding these two things, she couldn't help but think about it.

First, she was asked to make a hundred floats to upgrade the second-level ship. The wooden walls and decks clearly showed that she was asked to build the second floor. What was the purpose of this game? Why did she build such a big ship? Countless questions popped up in her mind. It was completely out of the ordinary. It

was useless to think more. Since she had been trapped, she had no capital to resist now. It was better to follow the idea of ​​the game. Sooner or later, she would figure out what was going on.

Lying on the bed with her eyes closed, Qiao Sheng suddenly realized that she had changed from 996 to 007. Why did she quit her job? Did she think she was not tired enough before? Or is it because you are uncomfortable sitting in the office, so you run around in the game to do hard labor? As

expected, after entering the game, you are completely dominated, and even your brain doesn't work. It took so many days to find the problem. No matter how much you understand, you are still making a living in the game. You have to get up and work at dawn, and you can't rest until sunset. Forced to work hard, Qiao Sheng ate breakfast and prepared to start tying floats. Only by upgrading the boat and unlocking more functions early can you hope to get rid of the current situation.

First, she dismantled the fishing nets on both sides, added two rows horizontally, and seven rows vertically. When she was busy tying the floats, she didn't notice a black spot in the distance. When she tied more than 60 floats, the black spot was already near her.

Turning her head inadvertently, another ship suddenly appeared behind her. Qiao Sheng was still a little slow to react. This was a real ship, with a deck, a sail, and a large metal anchor hanging outside the side of the ship.

She looked up at the wooden boat in front of her, and it was not until a beautiful girl in her teens appeared on the deck and "greeted" her that she realized that she had met a player.

"Ahhh, it's a living person, sister, you are a player!" The beautiful girl leaned on the side of the boat and asked her loudly.

It seemed that this was another player who had never seen other players. Qiao Sheng was still using his hands and feet to tie up the floating board. He took the time to answer her question. He wanted to ask how the other party's ship was built, but he felt that it was not appropriate. Before he could think of how to say it, the girl on the opposite side started to talk endlessly.

"This game is simply crazy. I haven't met a living person in so many days. I'm so suffocated. By the way, my last name is Xia, and you can just call me Beibei. Bei in east, south, west and north, how should I call you, sister?" Xia Beibei asked with her head tilted.

"Qiao Sheng, Qiao of Big Qiao and Little Qiao, Richeng Sheng." Qiao Sheng finished tying the float in her hand, then stood up, took a bottle of water from the dining table, and drank it while talking.

"Then can I call you Sister Qiao? You should be a little older than me. I just finished the college entrance examination, and I haven't checked the score yet, but I entered this game. I'm so angry. I've been through it, but I haven't enjoyed the fruits of victory yet. You got me this. I have a feeling that I did particularly well in the exam this time. Hey, Sister Qiao, are you going to upgrade the boat? This is a big deal, you have to upgrade it quickly." Looking at Qiao Sheng who was busy again, Xia Beibei reminded her.

"Of course you can call me that. Why do you say upgrading the boat is a big deal, Beibei?" Qiao Sheng saw that he had met someone who understood him, and it was normal to change the name to improve the relationship.

"Because the second-level ship unlocks the trading system, and the third-level ship unlocks the friend system. I don't know if it's higher than that. My ship is just the third level." Xia Beibei pouted with a look of disgust.

"Friend system?" Qiao Sheng asked doubtfully.

"Speaking of this makes me angry. I haven't seen a living person since I entered the game. When I was given a friend system, I thought I could add players to chat at will. When I clicked it, I found out that I needed other players' IDs and numbers, otherwise I couldn't add them at all. I was almost angry. Wait a minute, sister Qiao, I'll go to the first floor to chat with you. It's too tiring for you to look up when you talk like this." Without waiting for Qiao Sheng to reply, Xia Beibei jumped and disappeared on the deck.

Qiao Sheng put down the float in his hand after hearing her say this, took the bamboo chair and sat beside the float waiting.

After a while, a window opened in front of Qiao Sheng, and the little girl's pretty face appeared in the window. She leaned out, and judging from her height, she should be kneeling on a chair with her legs bent over the window.

"Sister Qiao, if you have anything else to ask, I'll tell you. Come on and talk to me. I'm almost aphasic because of all the words I've been holding back lately." Xia Beibei poked her head out and said cheerfully.

"Be careful, don't lean your head out so far. What does the trading system mean?" Qiao Sheng first reminded the other party to pay attention to safety.

"This is what players can exchange things with each other. Most of them are barter. There is no game currency in this game, so the items cannot be measured with money." Xia Beibei said, picking up what she knew.

"No game currency? Then how to measure the value of the items?" Qiao Sheng was puzzled.

"It's just a matter of personal needs. Sister Qiao has been to an island, right? You can tell by the water tank and filter on your boat. But some people have upgraded their boats to level three and still haven't seen an island! Like me!" Xia Beibei pouted so hard that an oil can could be hung on it.

"Never seen an island? Then how did you upgrade your boat to level three? How did you build such a big boat?" Qiao Sheng's expression could only be described as dumbfounded. After all, his dozens of floating boards were no match for the big boat.

"Yes, it's because the sieves will disappear, otherwise my ship would be full of 0-durability sieves. And the drift bottle can open a lot of good things. I have opened a lot of maps and materials. By the way, wait for me to get you a cold watermelon, and we can eat and chat." Without giving Qiao Sheng a chance to refuse, Xia Beibei, a socialite, retracted her head.

After the two of them took a spoon and ate half a cold watermelon, Qiao Sheng also roughly understood Xia Beibei's game Jinli Life. In Qiao Sheng's opinion, Li Mu, a European emperor, is considered powerful, but Xia Beibei is just a plug-in in this game.
