Finally, after careful consideration, Li Changge decided to replace the shark fin with [glass x6, wood x200, large metal sheet x2].
"Wow, this is a steal!"
Li Changge's face nearly split open with a grin as he looked at the extra supplies on the raft.
He traded a shark fin that was useless to him for the resource he needed most at the moment.
Unfortunately, the system still did not issue a second main quest.
"It seems that the conditions for this main quest are a bit difficult to trigger." Li Changge was not discouraged.
He had a gut feeling that the upgrade to the third-level raft wouldn't be delayed for long.
But now…
All we can do is wait.
[Boss, do you only have one shark fin here? I'd like to buy one to try; it's been so long since I've had one.]
[Yes, yes, boss, since you can sell shark fins, you must have the ability to kill sharks. Kill a few more sharks!]
[Oh, it sold out so quickly, what a pity.]
Li Changge glanced at it and thought it wasn't very interesting.
Sorry everyone, we are currently out of shark fin for sale.
After saying that, Li Changge ignored the buyers' complaints and left the trading channel.
It wasn't that Li Changge was showing off; it was that he didn't have the ability to kill.
Do you really think sharks are toys, that you can just kill them whenever you want?
After leaving the trading channel, Li Changge then entered the chat channel.
"Hey, did you guys hear? The first guy who upgraded his raft to level two died."
"Holy crap? Really? He leveled up on the first day, and he's already dead? How did he die?"
This news was so explosive that it attracted tens of thousands of survivors to discuss it.
"Um?"
Unsurprisingly, Li Changge was also drawn in and clicked on the message.
"I only heard about it. Apparently, someone saw this guy go to a small island from afar. The island was colorful and had dense forests. More importantly, the beach on that island was full of all kinds of survival supplies."
"That guy somehow tamed a fine eagle. Not long after they landed on the island, a heart-wrenching cry came from the water, repeatedly saying, 'Save me, save me.' People within five miles of the island could hear it."
"Then someone saw the first-place name in the sky quickly turn red and disappear. It must be dead."
"Hiss, what island is this? People with strange beasts have all been killed. Those of us who have nothing should be on guard. Don't go to any islands you see."
"It's terrifying. Not only is the ocean dangerous, but even the land on the ocean is so scary. How can anyone live like this?"
"Mom, I want to go home, I'm scared!"
"Is it really that terrifying? It seems I'll have to be more careful when I encounter islands in the future," Li Changge mused.
While others were afraid, Li Changge was already mentally prepared. He knew that relying solely on supply barrels drifting on the ocean would not allow him to survive for long.
Only by plundering resources can one find the right path.
The only way to escape, besides landing on the island, is to rob other survivors.
But the other survivors don't have many resources either; they might even be poorer than Li Changge.
No, he's definitely poorer than Li Changge.
Therefore, resource islands are a must-visit, but extra caution is needed.
“Since even a good-grade alien beast can’t withstand the dangers inside the island, I’ll take an elite-grade alien beast with me.” Li Changge’s eyes drifted to the cracked wooden barrel.
Aside from this message, there was almost no other valuable information in the chat channel.
Li Changge browsed around and found that most people had only made a construction hammer and the most basic water purifier.
Some survivors didn't even upgrade their rafts.
This kind of person probably won't live long.
People these days are quite shrewd; they've discovered that upgrading their rafts and expanding their area allows them to better access resource barrels, thus increasing their chances of survival.
Everyone worked desperately to collect timber, but a small number of people had resigned themselves to their fate, spending their days eating and waiting to die, without any ambition.
Therefore, in a few days, survivors who haven't upgraded their rafts will likely perish at sea.
This survival game is like a conscious selection process, but the process is too brutal.
Li Changge had memorized all the items he needed, but the current trading channel didn't have what he wanted, so he logged out.
"Phew, the game will definitely get harder and harder from here on out, I need to be prepared."
Li Changge gazed into the distance, exhaled a breath of stale air, and his eyes were filled with worry.
It took Li Changge a while to recover. Looking at the rotten wood and other ordinary resources drifting on the ocean, he didn't even have the thought of touching them.
"Never mind, there's nothing else to do now, let's go fishing." Li Changge tied the old nylon rope to the broken fishhook, put some fish meat on it, and threw it out with force.
"This is so boring."
Li Changge sat cross-legged on the raft, looking at the fishing hook through the partition. The nylon rope was long enough to be thrown more than ten meters.
He glanced up at the sun and realized it was already noon.
"Never mind, let's fish until dinner tonight." Li Changge then concentrated and started fishing.
He was lucky; he caught seven or eight fish in one afternoon. Steamed fish would have been enough for him to eat for a while, but now there's still more. He might really get sick of eating them.
"vomit."
While cleaning the fish scales, Li Changge couldn't help but gag; the fishy smell was too strong, it was really... well, you know.
It took Li Changge half an hour to clean the scales off the newly caught fish.
"I might develop a phobia of fish from now on." Li Changge divided the eight new fish into four plates and put them into a steamer.
He also took out a basket of crayfish and a fish, sat on the edge of the raft, and enjoyed them immensely.
"As expected of an epic-level steamer, the food steamed in it is delicious." Li Changge closed his eyes and slowly savored the meal, bathed in the twilight.
This was the most peaceful time Li Changge had experienced in the past few days.
"belch."
After licking off the last drop of crayfish juice, the comfortable dinner officially came to an end, and Li Changge let out a satisfied burp.
After eating and drinking my fill, I went straight to sleep.
After Li Changge finished eating, he lay down and felt the ocean's gentle caress.
Surrounded by the steaming heat of the steamer and the sense of security provided by the mythical egg, Li Changge fell into a deep sleep.
The raft continues to drift with the waves, and tomorrow will be a new beginning.
Before he knew it, Li Changge had spent three days here, and during these three days, Li Changge's survival journey could be described as comfortable.
The scariest thing was encountering a mammoth, but that was solved by splitting open, so it wasn't a big deal.
"Hopefully, tomorrow will also be a good start."
Li Changge murmured to himself in his sleep.
