The smelting furnace looks a lot like the stove that Luo Xinglan's family used when she was a child. It's a cylindrical furnace in the middle with a chimney on top and fuel underneath.
I just don't know what the purpose of this smelting furnace is.
As you get closer to the stove, a message pops up automatically:
[Smelting Furnace: Can be burned with fuel, can decompose complex items, and can synthesize items; an essential tool for home and travel.]
The information is too simple; reading it is as good as not reading it at all.
Luo Xinglan decided to give it a try herself.
She lit a piece of wood with a lighter and threw it into the furnace.
[Burning smelting furnace: Usable; fire will extinguish after 10 minutes.]
It's lit, but what should we throw in?
Luo Xinglan looked around and decided to throw in the scrap metal she had obtained that afternoon. Of course, she didn't throw it all in, but only one piece. After all, she wasn't sure if it would work, and what if throwing it all in was a waste?
She waited patiently for a while, and then suddenly received a notification:
[Obtain 1 piece of refined iron!]
It actually works!
The next moment, Luo Xinglan discovered that many items had been lit up in the crafting menu, including nails, screws, pickaxes, axes, buckets, and so on.
So nails and screws can be combined, huh? But it doesn't seem to be very cost-effective.
After thinking for a moment, she clicked to make iron nails.
[Obtain 5 iron nails!]
Luo Xinglan's eyes lit up. One piece of refined iron can make 5 iron nails. That's pretty cost-effective!
She simply melted down the remaining 5 pieces of scrap iron, obtained 5 pieces of refined iron, and made two iron buckets, each with a capacity of 30L and a lid.
With the metal bucket, you can directly use it to hold purified water; otherwise, mineral water bottles are too small and you have to keep an eye on them all the time.
The other metal bucket will be used for composting!
She threw the banana peels, withered branches of the jujube tree, and fallen leaves into the iron bucket, covered it, and placed it in a corner of the raft.
The composting process will emit a very unpleasant odor, so it's best to stay away from it.
Luo Xinglan threw the remaining three pieces of refined iron back into the box. She hadn't decided what to do with them yet, so she decided to keep them for now.
After finishing all that, she was a little hungry, so she simply grabbed a bag of bread and started eating.
She has a stove now, but it would be great if she had a kettle to boil water; she also has instant noodles in her backpack.
After finishing her bread, she fished out a few more boxes, obtaining some food and water. Feeling sleepy, she quickly washed her face and lay down on the straw mat to sleep.
Before going to sleep, I always feel like I've forgotten something, but I'm so sleepy that I fall asleep in no time.
The next day, Luo Xinglan woke up at around 7 a.m. When she opened her eyes, she was on the vast sea, and her mind was still a little blank.
After she realized what was happening, she went to check on the frog, but after searching for a while, she couldn't find it anywhere. It had probably gone on a trip.
This little brat went out without eating anything; I wonder if he'll get hungry along the way.
When she saw the withered jujube tree, she finally remembered what she had forgotten!
She forgot to pick the precious round fruit!
Looking at the fallen leaves covering the ground, Luo Xinglan felt a pang of sadness.
Oh well, it's already withered. Let's learn from this experience.
She picked up the seeds that had fallen to the ground and planted them.
However, the grapevines next to it have grown quite a bit, and since there are no trellises, the grape branches have climbed all over the ground.
Luo Xingchen stirred the soil and found five bunches of ripe grapes! This high-grade soil is amazing! Ripe grapes were ready to eat in just one night.
But that doesn't seem quite right either. High-quality soil can make crops mature five times faster and increase yield five times. Even so, it's impossible for grapes to bear fruit overnight, right?
After thinking for a while without figuring it out, Luo Xinglan simply gave up. Perhaps it was just a game setting; the growth rate of crops wasn't the same as in the real world.
These five bunches of grapes, however, must be the result of increased production.
There's also long-staple cotton, and it looks like it'll be growing cotton soon; she needs to keep a close eye on it.
The only good thing is that the cucumbers planted in ordinary soil have produced fruit!
There were about twenty cucumbers growing on the four cucumber vines, and some of them were not yet ripe.
Cucumbers are being produced at an incredibly high yield!
Luo Xinglan picked the cucumbers and grapes and put them into her backpack.
Next, she opened the "Frog Shop" to see what was available in the "Daily Supplies" section, as she remembered to buy snacks for her frog cub.
The "daily supplies" still consist of two types: honey peanuts and "power pills".
Power pills?
Luo Xinglan opened the message.
[Power Pill: Permanently increases strength by one point upon use.]
After reading the introduction, Luo Xinglan was even more confused. She opened her attribute panel:
[Day 2 of survival, 7:10 AM, Sunny]
Survivor's Name: Luo Xinglan
Server: Huafu 66
Satiety level: 80
Physical strength: 70
Energy: 100
Lucky Star Attribute: Unexpected Joy (Exploration will yield unexpected rewards)
Luo Xinglan confirmed again and again that there was no such attribute as "strength".
That's really strange.
Moreover, today's lucky streak is quite strange; exploring will yield unexpected rewards.
But where can she explore on the high seas?
No, she has an Island Exploration Card!
Could today's lucky attribute be related to exploration cards?
Full of questions, she quickly washed up, which really just involved rinsing her mouth and washing her face—she didn't even have toothpaste or a toothbrush, so brushing her teeth was out of the question.
perhaps……
What about Jiang Mingze?
She hesitated for a moment, then messaged Jiang Mingze privately: "Jiang Mingze, do you have toiletries?"
I waited a while but didn't get a reply from him; he's probably still sleeping.
So she ate her bread while opening the chat channel. Although it was only a little past seven, the chat channel was already bustling with activity.
Good morning everyone! It's my first time sleeping at sea overnight, and my back and waist are aching!
"Sigh, after lying on the raft all night, I feel like my whole body is wrapped in dampness. It won't be long before I get rheumatism."
"Haha, the person upstairs is too optimistic. They might not even live to see the day they get rheumatoid arthritis."
"I wonder what we'll face in two days..."
"Stop thinking about all that nonsense, gathering supplies is the most important thing! With enough supplies, we can survive longer!"
"Energy potion in exchange for food! DM me if interested!"
"Let me show you what I got: toothpaste! It's toothpaste, hahaha!"
"Upstairs, do you have a toothbrush?"
"...Waaaaah, I forgot I don't have a toothbrush! What use is this toothpaste to me then?"
"Does anyone have any spare clothes? I'll trade him some soda crackers!"
...
It seems that people don't have many daily necessities, so they probably keep them for their own use.
After finishing the bread, Luo Xinglan ate a bunch of grapes to fully restore her satiety and stamina, and then started fishing for boxes.
Without the blessing of "Never Going Home Empty-Handed", even the chests became harder to catch. It took Luo Xinglan more than half an hour to finally catch her first chest of the day.
