Chapter 48

Qiao Sheng looked at Fang Yueyi's actions with a puzzled look on his face. The girl was still taking out the food. She stopped only when there were only black bear cubs and ceramic bowls on the tea table. A rough count showed that there were more than 20 of them.

"Zi Yan and I used to like eating hot pot when we were at home. Since we started playing this game, we were almost nauseous at first. We finally gathered all the condiments and boiled these bases. I brought them here for you to try." Fang Yueyi pointed at the ceramic bowls on the tea table and said. "

This seems a bit expensive. After all, hot pot bases are not that easy to get." Qiao Sheng always felt that she should not receive rewards without doing anything. She was a little bit unable to adapt to the other party's suddenness.

"It's not expensive. The reminder you two gave me today saved our lives. What's the big deal about this little hot pot base? Besides, they are discussing joining the team down there, so it's your recommendation." Fang Yueyi made it clear. Qiao Sheng

quickly shook her head and said that it was not a recommendation at all. It was because of their outstanding abilities, otherwise Pei Hong's team wouldn't want to recruit them. But she didn't understand why they were so cautious when they first met, so they were ready to join the team so easily. After all, they didn't look like they were lacking in food and clothing and couldn't survive.

Fang Yueyi sighed, and seeing that Qiao Sheng really didn't understand, she told him about her experiences in the past month. She and Xu Ziyan were refreshed in the same sea area after entering the game, not far from each other. When they woke up, they saw each other, paddled close to each other and merged the two floating boards into one. After that,

they often encountered islands, but they would meet other players every time they went to the island. The first fifteen days were relatively peaceful during the novice protection period, but it was terrible after fifteen days. Maybe it was because they were unlucky that they always encountered those who killed and robbed people. If she and her boyfriend hadn't practiced martial arts since childhood, they might have died in this game long ago.

This time she wanted to join Pei Hong's fleet because she saw how they dealt with the bad guys in the forest. They didn't attack directly, and gave them the opportunity to choose. If they didn't harm people, Pei Hong wouldn't call for people to kill them.

At least these people have humanity. And seeing that their fleet is not on a big ship, but everyone has their own ship, it's not a loss to invest, especially for people like them who are always busy. So when they killed the black bear, she and Xu Ziyan didn't hold back, wanting to let the other party see their strength.

The hot pot for dinner was also to let others know that they were not doing badly here, and that those who could afford it also indirectly confirmed their strength.

"You don't think I'm too scheming, do you? I really don't have any other choice. This game is making me almost collapse. From childhood to adulthood, whoever has the harder fist has the final say. But two fists are no match for four hands. Zi Yan and I started to use our brains after suffering losses. If my dad knew that we have turned to strategy, he would have to thank this game. He has been nagging us to use our brains more and use our hands less since we were young." Fang Yueyi could only sigh when she recalled what happened during this period.

"There's nothing to be scheming about. It's normal. It's not wrong to plan for yourself in the game. Do we have to let others do whatever they want? Your luck is really bad. You keep meeting players with bad intentions. It's right to go with Pei Hong and the others. They invited us before, and the reason we rejected was not because we thought they were bad, but because we felt that resources were limited and it was difficult to allocate too many people. In fact, the main reason was that we didn't meet so many bad people, otherwise I would definitely choose to join the team like you. Sometimes having too many people is not a bad thing." Qiao Sheng said that he understood their choice.

The two sat on the sofa, poking the sick bear and chatting, until Li Mu and Xu Ziyan came back, they were ready to separate. Qiao Sheng asked them to wait for a while, turned and went into the storage room, first took out thirty rabbit heads, some pepper, Sichuan pepper, and dried chili peppers, and also packed some radish seeds and cotton seeds, and came out to let Li Mu pick out two rabbits, a male and a female, from the rabbit nest. The ducklings were not hatched yet, and the chickens were too small, so they were not suitable for giving away.

Just make the half tea of ​​hot pot base, these return gifts are not a loss, because she doesn't know how to make hot pot base!

I exchanged IDs and names with Fang Yueyi and agreed to add her as a friend when they upgraded to level 3. Fang Yueyi and Xu Ziyan really did what they said. There was a question mark behind the ship level, but no one clicked it to see what was going on. I

upgraded to level 2 by accident. Qiao Sheng reminded me that I was going to upgrade the ship as soon as I returned. I had to open the friend system and email so that I could keep in touch with Qiao Sheng even if I followed Pei Hong and his fleet in the future.

After sending the young couple away, Li Mu told her how Pei Hong had fooled Xu Ziyan, what with the two ships and two systems, advancing and retreating together, sharing supplies equally, and giving priority to supplies for major contributions, and all kinds of welfare policies. If Xu Ziyan hadn't been firm and serious, he would have been fooled.

Qiao Sheng also told him the cause and effect of giving Fang Yueyi the seeds and the bastards, and Li Mu also felt that after such a comparison, his luck was still pretty good, at least he didn't have to fight like Fang Yueyi and the others.

"We have been practicing martial arts since we were young! We are exhausted physically and mentally. With our fighting power, we will fall flat on our faces as soon as we get in. Have you forgotten how you looked when you were just picked up? Look at this little sick bear. It is not much different from you. Look at it now. It is just a mini version of you." Qiao Sheng unwrapped the little black bear, sprinkled it with Panax notoginseng powder again, and tied it with the cotton strip that Li Mu had used before.

"Well... there should be a difference. I don't seem to be that dark, nor as round as it." Li Mu refused to compare himself with this little black egg, and even stretched out his hand to poke the little bear's head.

"You see it is small now, so poke it hard. When it grows up, it will poke you and you will be useless." Qiao Sheng opened his fingers that wanted to continue poking, and the little bear was groaning because of his poking.

The two discussed whether to keep or leave the little bear. Qiao Sheng wanted to let it return to the island after it recovered from its illness, but Li Mu thought that it could be kept. If it was as smart as the one tied up, it could also be a fighting force.

Qiao Sheng was worried about raising a black bear. How much would it have to eat in the future? What if it only ate meat? Li Mu told her that it was an omnivore, so anything was fine. It didn't have to be fed meat, and there was no need to worry so early. If you didn't want to tie up such a clever one, you would definitely not keep it.

When you went to bed at night, someone from Pei Hong's place was on guard. The boat of the six people was not found during the day. What if there were other gangs that attacked at night? It would be safer to leave someone to guard the night.

The next morning, the main force marched into the forest. This time the forest was far from the coast. It was not obvious at night, but during the day, a piece of forest on the island was missing.

Three people were left to guard the boat. Including Qiao Sheng and his group, there were 21 people left. Six more people were assigned to look for the boats of those people yesterday along both sides of the coast. There were

15 people left. These were the people who actually went into the forest to collect supplies. They went in early in the morning. Fang Yueyi and Xu Ziyan's job was to be on guard. When they were free, they could also hunt for prey. Of course, this was all considered team income, and it would be distributed uniformly in the evening.

At noon, when we were resting and eating to replenish our stats, the three-person team that went out from the left to investigate came back and said that they had found the ship. No players were seen nearby, but considering safety issues, the three of them did not dare to go up. They came back to report the news as soon as they found it.

The ship was just on the other side of where they docked. The two teams found the ship almost at the same time. The other three people were watching there to see if there was anyone there. They came back three times to report the news.

Pei Hong was not careless. He waited until everyone had eaten and rested before he led everyone there.

Qiao Sheng had never searched an entire island before. This time he really realized how big the island was. It took them nearly two hours to see the ship. The team members who were guarding nearby also came over and said that no one had appeared for most of the day.

Pei Hong was still a little worried, so he got on the boat first. At Li Mu's suggestion, he took a wooden board to open the storage box. After making sure that there was no danger inside or outside, he asked the team members to get on the boat to move things.

Qiao Sheng also whispered to Li Mu that since the player was gone, the boat was ownerless and anyone could get on board and pick up supplies. No wonder Fang Yueyi and the others encountered so many murderers and robbers.

"I was stupid at the time and didn't go on board to see if there was anything I could take away." Qiao Sheng suddenly remembered the charred wooden boat that Li Mu had parked on the shore.

"It's a pity that you didn't go on board. It was already on fire before I lost consciousness. You probably wouldn't find any useful supplies if you went on board." Li Mu was quite surprised that she had seen his boat before and they had never talked about it before.

Pei Hong's team was a demolition team, loading supplies and dismantling ships. They were very fast. It took them two hours to get here, and the demolition team took less than half an hour to get there. There was no trace of the ship in the sea. After

dismantling the ship, they went into the forest to continue collecting supplies. Not to mention, the supplies in the forest here were more abundant. They also found a lot of vegetables and seeds. This trip was really worth it. When the sun set, they were ready to go home.

On the way back, they passed a cave, and there was a humming sound inside. Although it was faint, Fang Yueyi, who had a keen ear, still heard it.

Pointing to the place where the sound came from, Qiao Sheng could tell after listening for a while that it was the sound of a little black bear. The sick little bear at home was groaning like this when it was poked by Li Mu yesterday.

He told everyone that there might be black bear cubs in the cave. Pei Hong chose the latter between letting the cubs fend for themselves and giving them a chance to survive. After seeing the black bear's protective behavior yesterday, he really couldn't do what the group of people did yesterday.

He asked the team members to be careful at the entrance of the cave. He took Xu Ziyan into the cave. When they came out, each of them was holding a black bear cub. These two were obviously bigger than the two yesterday. He asked the team members to get some food to feed the two cubs. After checking, they were not sick, but just groaning because of hunger. Carrying the two bear cubs, the group quickened their pace and finally rushed back to the shore where their boat was docked

shortly after the sun set.
