Chapter 45
After cooking, I sent 50 to Xia Beibei. When eating, the leek and three-fresh stuffing attracted everyone's attention. Usually, they eat too much cabbage, but suddenly changing to a different stuffing is really good.
Qiao Sheng felt sorry that he only got so few leeks. If he had more, he could make leek boxes or vegetarian dumplings. Without seeds, he didn't know when he would have the next meal.
After dinner, Li Mu's recent rubber cutting and other materials were finally enough to make a pair of sports shoes. He was originally thinking about making something else from cutting rubber, but the sudden attack of sharks made it impossible to make a choice. He could only make shoes. He couldn't go out barefoot.
They also thought about the straw sandals, and even went into the trading system to exchange five pounds of potatoes for a pair. Li Mu gave up after wearing them. He didn't know if the other party made them wrong. The shoes rubbed his feet and didn't fit his feet. He couldn't kill wild boars with them. If he walked fast, the shoes would fall off.
He had no choice but to make a pair of sports shoes. Anyway, there were patterns. When making them, Li Mu was worried whether the size would be wrong. After all, he couldn't find a place to choose the size of the shoes.
After the shoes were made, Qiao Sheng studied them for a while. They were really good, and the soles were soft. Li Mu took the shoes that were obviously not suitable for his feet and put them on his feet. Suddenly, a button for selecting the size popped up on the shoes. I have to say that this setting is great. One size is enough, and you can choose the size when you wear it. When he chose the size that suits him, he knew the benefits of the shoes after walking a few steps.
"I have to replace the trees in the large planting pots with rubber trees in the next few days, and I have to make you a pair of these shoes." Li Mu jumped vigorously twice. The new shoes fit his feet well.
"The shoes are not broken, and I am not a child. If others have new ones, I want them too. Why do I need to make more? It is no problem to cut more rubber. Do you think we can put larger planting pots on the third deck? Will it affect the load-bearing capacity of our ship?" Qiao Sheng thought about the possibility of planting more trees on the upper floor. "
I'll go back and try it. It is true that only eight trees can be planted on the ship, which will affect our stockpiling. It took so long to get enough rubber for a pair of shoes. These will increase the speed!" Li Mu also thought that he could try to add more rubber one by one. When the ship reaches the load limit, it should give a prompt. It can't just flip over.
"What? Movement speed? Is this considered equipment? Or equipment with an entry? The T-shirts we are wearing now are also made in the game, why don't they have special entries?" Qiao Sheng was stunned at first. He had been here for more than a month and hadn't heard of equipment.
"I just checked, and the movement speed increased by 10%. If you want to tell me the difference between the clothes we are wearing and the shoes on my feet, it should be that the previous ones were made without a pattern, and this pair of shoes is made with a pattern I opened! Are clothes, shoes and socks made with game patterns considered equipment?" Li Mu thought about it and it seemed that this was the only difference.
Since they didn't know whether the entry for this pair of shoes was accidental or inevitable, the two decided that from now on, one of them would plant rubber trees and work hard to cut rubber, while the other would browse the trading system every day and take any rubber orders he saw, gather the materials as soon as possible, and make another pair to verify this.
Flipping through the diagrams he had learned, Qiao Sheng immediately saw the diagram of the cotton coat. He put this thing aside as soon as he opened it because it was not winter yet. Since he couldn't make sports shoes in the next one or two days, he might as well try this one.
He asked Li Mu to go into the storage room and get all the materials needed to make cotton coats. In order to test the data, the two of them also made one each for easy comparison and distinction.
After checking it out, Qiao Sheng felt like burning the house. This game is unplayable. How can a piece of equipment discriminate against players?
The cotton coat she made, at first glance, increased the cold protection value by 5%, and the defense value by 10%. Everything seemed perfect. Turning to look at Li Mu's coat, the cold protection value increased by 30%, the defense value increased by 50%, and the special entry was that the attack power against underwater creatures increased by 50%.
This slap in the face, slap, slap, if she hadn't picked up Li Mu, she might never know that she was the best among the blacks.
Li Mu looked at the properties of the cotton coat she made, put it down silently, went back to the storage room to get the materials, and made another one. It must be said that there is no reason in the world of European emperors. This kind of small top-grade equipment is really easy to get. The cold protection value is increased by 50%, the defense value is increased by 50%, and the special entry is to increase the attack power against land animals by 50%.
"It seems that the special entry is basically to increase the attack power. You said that the equipment made by European emperors like you are all of this kind of top-grade. Can Xia Beibei's game brocade explode with different entries?" Qiao Sheng asked while looking through the three cotton coats.
Li Mu asked her to try with Xia Beibei, but he had to remind her not to leak the news. He could make some money from the information gap with this cotton coat first, and he would not sell the ones with special terms first. He would sell the ones with low attribute values made by Qiao Sheng first, and the ones with special terms could be sold at the end for a good price.
"You are a hard-working gardener, so why do I feel the breath of a profiteer from you?" Qiao Sheng looked at him up and down with disgust.
"Gardeners have to eat too, and I can't live on air. Being a gardener is my main job, and my life depends on my side job." Li Mu smiled bitterly.
Li Mu took out two-thirds of the cotton stored in the storage box, moved it to the tea table and started making cotton coats. This one-size-fits-all equipment was simply equipment that supported the sale of equipment in the game.
Qiao Shengtuan was on the sofa, and began to send emails to Xia Beibei. I don't know how such a few simple sentences kept them chatting until bedtime. When she was about to wash up, she reluctantly said good night to Xia Beibei.
Looking at Li Mu, he made time cotton clothes again this night. Two of them were ordinary ones like Qiao Sheng's, and the remaining eight were all with various special terms. Before going to bed, he planted cotton in all the planting pots.
The next morning, they both got up early. One went downstairs to make planting pots, while the other was busy hanging wild boar meat that needed to be dried on the drying rack. They also had to blanch all the rabbit meat before the broth went bad, and then make spicy rabbit meat, and finally dry it. Isn't this spicy rabbit meat with flavor? It not only increases the freshness, but also does not waste the pot of broth at home.
The day guarding the kitchen stove was busy and fulfilling. Li Mu was in chaos upstairs and downstairs, but Qiao Sheng didn't move a step. For lunch and dinner, they ate whatever scraps were left in the kitchen, and fried the dumplings left over from yesterday. This is the temperament of the rich who have no shortage of oil at home, and can even eat fried dumplings.
Qiao Sheng was busy until dark, and she only brine half of the rabbit meat left at home. There were still a lot of rabbit heads left. According to this workload, the rabbit meat at home would have to be cooked for another three days. She could still hold on, but she didn't know if the brine in the pot could hold up.
Before going to bed, she suddenly received a system prompt saying that an island was detected. According to the current route and speed of the ship, it would be able to drift there by tomorrow morning at the latest.
The key point is that there are other players approaching the island in the nearby waters, and there are also players on the island.
After discussing with Li Mu, she decided to go and take a look. If there is no danger, she will collect supplies like crazy. If there is danger, she will run away and never confront others.
With something on her mind, she didn't sleep well. When she woke up, it was just dawn and she could see the shape of the island, but it was still some distance away.
Li Mu got up and went downstairs to prepare the equipment needed for going to the island. After Qiao Sheng finished washing up, he went into the kitchen to prepare breakfast and the water and food needed for the day's trip to the island.
Considering that he couldn't let his wealth show, Qiao Sheng also took away the bacon and wild boar strips that were originally hanging on the drying rack and replaced them with radish strips and cabbage. They were dried for easy storage and delicious when stewed in winter.
When they drifted to the island, it was around nine or ten in the morning. When they dropped anchor and tied the rope to the shore, other boats approached.
The other party didn't rush to get off the boat to fix the boat, but chose to stand on the floating board to observe Qiao Sheng's boat until the two of them came out and looked at each other. Only then did they say hello reluctantly. After all, both sides' goals were the supplies on the island. They could coexist peacefully and no one wanted to start a war.
The configuration on the opposite side was also a young man and a woman. When she saw Qiao Sheng, the girl on the opposite side spoke first: "Hello, my name is Fang Yueyi, this is my boyfriend Xu Ziyan, we are also going to the island to collect supplies, we collect peacefully, all relying on our own ability?"
In fact, it was quite impolite to say this when they just met, but Fang Yueyi and the others had no choice. They encountered unreasonable players several times when they came to the island. Several times they saw that one of their girls wanted to rob their ships and supplies, and some shamelessly wanted to make a move on her. Thanks to her boyfriend's explosive combat power and she herself was not a weak little white flower, she had managed to hold on until now.
They also observed Qiao Sheng and the other two for a while before deciding that the girl should speak first.
"Qiao Sheng, my friend Li Mu, let's go into the forest from the left." Seeing the other party's attitude, Qiao Sheng also hoped that they could abide by the agreement. The early stages of the game require a lot of development, and peace is the best.
Fang Yueyi agreed and said that she would enter the forest from the right, and thanked Qiao Sheng. While Xu Ziyan was busy getting off the boat and anchoring, Qiao Sheng and his friends had already got off the boat with their bags on their backs, and entered the forest from the left according to the route they said.
"I hope these two can keep their promise this time." With a sigh, Fang Yueyi also went to the island with her boyfriend.
The two parties reached a friendly agreement, but in fact, neither of them trusted the other very much, and they were all ready to fight to the death if the other party broke the agreement.
Qiao Sheng's collection progress was perfect. The resources on this island were really rich. The two of them collected a little bit every few steps. There were too many things to collect. Considering that there were three different forces on this island, they did not pick and choose this time. They picked all the useful things and killed all the prey.
Before noon, their backpacks were full. They cut down dozens of coconut trees and came across a bamboo forest. They didn't dig bamboo shoots, but they cut bamboos and collected a lot.
They encountered three wild boars. This time they didn't need to fight in close combat. Li Mu wore sports shoes that increased his speed and shot the wild boars to death while flying a kite. Of course, Qiao Sheng's crossbow also played a big role.
They also caught a lot of rabbits, keeping two males and only the pregnant females, and killed the rest and put them in bags. Qiao Sheng was still muttering, how come there were so many islands, but there were only rabbits and wild boars, and not many other animals.
Li Mu laughed at her for being too demanding. If there were really tigers and brown bears, with their current equipment, it was hard to say who would be on whose table.
While chatting and preparing to go back to the boat to put some supplies and have lunch, they heard screams of people and roars of animals not far away.
"Li Mu, I didn't expect you to have the talent to be a prophet." Qiao Sheng was stunned at first, and then mercilessly laughed at the man next to him who had just said that she had high requirements.
