Chapter 203
The days that followed were busy and boring. Every day, they were busy redeeming points in the system store and raising the panda cub.
Qiao Sheng and Li Mu really had no experience raising such small animals. Although the little eagle was also hatched and raised on the boat, except for preparing food for the eagle, everything else was done by Ah Dai.
From how to eat to how to fly, everything was taken care of by his peers, so Qiao Sheng and his friends didn't need to help at all.
The panda cubs were a problem. Although the panda cub was also a half-grown bear, it didn't even understand itself, let alone raising such a small cub. It would just sit around the basket and watch the fun every day. When Qiao Sheng asked it to help, it would immediately back off and resolutely not get involved.
So the job of being the nanny and dad fell to Qiao Sheng and his wife. They really had to get up every few hours to feed the baby. The baby looked small, and the rule of eating small meals and frequent meals was so tight that it would whine if it wasn't fed. This really annoyed them, so they had to take turns in the end.
The panda cub's night feeding ended when the butcher's knife was exchanged from the system store. During this period, they encountered five islands, and it took two or three days to get to the island each time. They chose to ignore other players when they met them, and they collected materials without distinction, collecting whatever they saw.
Players who had seen them all thought that they were like bulldozers, pushing wherever they went. Others were afraid of heat stroke, so they either found a cool place to work or worked for a while and then rested.
But Qiao Sheng and Li Mu didn't care at all. Except for stopping for meals, they worked non-stop at other times. Every time they returned to the boat, it was dark. The result of this enthusiasm was that other players could only collect the materials left by them.
Because he collected so much, Qiao Sheng's space ring now has animal carcasses in addition to food. Usually, Li Mu would decompose animals as he earned points, but this time, with the butcher's knife, he could make a surprise attack.
Li Mu did this job again. He first tried it with a rabbit carcass. A minute later, the rabbit skin, internal organs, bones, and rabbit meat appeared in front of him in four piles.
The small animal had a good effect, so he tried it with a bear. He didn't have to do any work, but just stood by and put the butcher's knife into the animal's body. A minute later, there were still four piles, but there were much more than what he decomposed from the rabbit just now.
There was also the sound of the upper and lower teeth of the monk behind him. Qiao Sheng smiled and said that for a long time, the monk would have to walk around him.
The small goal of 30 days was finally achieved. Holding Xiao Diudiu, who had grown from a little pink mouse to a black and white panda, Qiao Sheng suddenly felt that their life was not bad.
Putting Xiao Diudiu on his knees, Qiao Sheng swung the fishing rod and started fishing. Li Mu found a small wooden stool for himself, put a refrigerator and storage cabinet beside him, sat next to Qiao Sheng, and decomposed an animal carcass, leaving the dirty and edible parts, putting the meat in the refrigerator, and putting the fur and bones in the storage cabinet first. After everything was decomposed, he went to clean the fur and bones in the storage cabinet.
The two of them worked together leisurely. With the butcher's knife, the work that would have taken several days to complete could now be done in more than two hours. The most important thing was that it did not waste any energy.
Fortunately, they were careful. Except for the animals left for the children on the island, they kept all the other animals cleaned up from Cao Hanmo's island. They also kept the carcasses of animals hunted on these islands. Otherwise, it would have been a waste of effort.
In the morning, the two of them fished and butchered. In the afternoon, they changed jobs. One used a colander to collect supplies, and the other cleaned animal fur and bones.
Before going to bed at night, they received an email from Xia Beibei, saying that they had encountered a copy island and were afraid to go up now, so they wanted to invite them to go together.
Qiao Sheng didn't rush to reply. He first asked Li Mu what he thought. After discussing, they decided to go and take a look. After all, they hadn't encountered a copy for more than a month. This time they had a chance to go and take a look.
As for whether it was dangerous or not, they could go and take a look before deciding. Qiao Sheng's system would definitely have a star-level prompt at that time. If it was too difficult, they could choose not to go in.
Moreover, the four of them had high combat power, so they would have a higher chance of winning if they joined together.
After replying to Xia Beibei's message, he asked what was going on. It turned out that the two of them had been drifting outside the island for two days. Two fleets had entered during these two days. There were many people in each fleet, but only three people came out.
Xia Beibei watched them standing on the shore, busy for a long time, dismantling a boat, and then boarding another boat to leave.
She still remembered these three people. They were a team of eight before. It seemed that five people were killed, otherwise they would not have dismantled the boat and left. There
are still three boats parked on the shore. The team should have nearly twenty people. They haven't come out yet. I don't know if they died in there or haven't come out yet.
According to her, the island was shrouded in mist and the trees were lush. From her position, she couldn't see what was inside. She could only see that the trees were very dense and there were roars of wild animals from time to time. She didn't know anything else.
After discussing with Lin Haiyang, she decided to ask for help. After all, relying on just the two of them, there was no guarantee that they would get out safely.
After getting the coordinates, Qiao Sheng and Li Mu searched and found that the distance between the two sides was quite far. Even if the driving equipment was turned on all the time, it would probably take three or four days. After
telling Xia Beibei, they turned on the driving equipment and headed in their direction at full speed. Lying on the bed, Qiao Sheng also said that there was no problem with the route. They just needed to enter the coordinates in the map, adjust the bow, and equip the driving equipment to drive the boat over.
It was much better than the previous situation where they were drifting with the wind and whether they could meet it depended on their luck.
Because they didn't know the situation over there, Qiao Sheng and Li Mu kept preparing weapons and medicines for the next three days, fearing that they would not be enough in case of an accident.
We also took this opportunity to prepare food, including meat buns or big rolls, just for convenience. We also made a lot of sour plum soup and mung bean soup, all of which were chilled and ready to drink at any time. We also prepared
some summer tea and mosquito repellent bags in advance, trying to think of everything as comprehensively as possible.
During this period, we also trained the cassock cub. It still couldn't get off the boat because the tasks on the boat were not easy. It had to feed Xiaoying and Diudiu. Xinxin didn't have to worry about it. It was used to having food in front of it. No matter how much it was, it could eat it in moderation. It basically wouldn't eat all at once, die of starvation in the front and die of hunger in the back.
The cassock cub looked at the location of the goat's milk that Qiao Sheng told him, and felt wronged. He was still young, so why did he have to take care of the child since he was young?
Almost as expected, Qiao Sheng and his crew approached Xia Beibei's boat on the morning of the fourth day. The two boats were close together, and Li Mu and Lin Haiyang tied the two boats together with ropes.
Xia Beibei quickly reported the situation of the past few days to Qiao Sheng. It was said that another boat landed on the island when Qiao Sheng and his crew set sail.
Three days have passed, and the five people on the boat have not come out yet.
Qiao Sheng heard the system's prompt when the boat was heading here. According to the system, this island is not a copy island, but an ordinary island. However, it is indeed full of dangers. If you want to go up to collect supplies, you must be careful.
Knowing that it is not a copy island, Qiao Sheng's desire to go to the island is not so strong . Xia Beibei and Lin Haiyang are very excited and eager to try. After telling Li Mu about the system's prompt, she agreed to go to the island together.
In fact, she still kept a wary eye, because Xia Beibei was so excited, it was hard to say whether there would be any opportunities on the island, so everyone might as well go up and take a look, so that it would not be a wasted trip.
Xia Beibei also showed them what they had prepared in the past few days. There were a lot of food and drinks. Lin Haiyang also made a bunch of mung bean cakes, which were snacks specially prepared for Qiao Sheng and Xia Beibei.
He also prepared two portions for the cassocks, saying that he wanted to please them.
"So you didn't prepare any for your teacher Li. It seems that you really don't want it for the rest of your life." Qiao Sheng pinched a piece to eat for himself, and called the cassocks to eat snacks together.
"Ah? No, I didn't. I thought Teacher Li didn't like these." Lin Haiyang was visibly panicked. It was related to his rest of his life, although he didn't know when he could go back.
Especially when Li Mu picked up a piece of mung bean cake and started eating it, Lin Haiyang was even more panicked. The hand that was feeding the mung bean cake to the cassocks almost hit its throat.
Finally, it was Li Mu who rescued the vomiting monk from Lin Haiyang's clutches. He smiled and told him that he would definitely not be as bad as usual, and he finally came to his senses.
After eating the cakes, they were ready to go to the island. Li Mu had been paying attention to the situation on the island, and now he said that he had to wait a little longer. He always felt that the island was gloomy, and for safety reasons, they had better go to the island at noon.
No one objected to his idea, but Xia Beibei secretly ran to Qiao Sheng's ear and said that she didn't expect Li Mu, who looked righteous, to be so superstitious in private.
In the morning, Qiao Sheng and Xia Beibei went fishing leisurely, while Lin Haiyang went into the kitchen to prepare lunch. Because they had to meet the deadline to get to the island, they had to eat lunch earlier. Li Mu brought a lot of meat to the kitchen and helped wash it.
After lunch, the four of them took Yousu and Ah Dai, as well as all the weapons and supplies they had prepared, and went to the island.
