"Do you know what I've been through all day?! I've been in the sea all day! Who would understand?! Finally, it's six o'clock. This day has been really tough!"
"The person upstairs is really something! They actually spent a whole day in the sea? Aren't there sharks in the sea?"
"What else can we do? This weather is so hot, it feels like we're going to melt!"
"I've been surviving on ice from the store, thanks to all the ice sellers who saved my life!"
"Me too. If it weren't for the many people selling ice, I probably wouldn't have made it through the day. Thank you!"
"If you ask me, the person I should thank the most is Boss Luo Xinglan. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have made it through the typhoon."
"Yeah, yeah, I'm someone who's very afraid of the cold. If it weren't for Boss Luo Xinglan selling quilts at a low price, I wouldn't have made it through yesterday!"
Many more people are expressing their gratitude to those who have contributed over the past few days.
Although they were just strangers who met by chance, most of them were grateful people. In addition, they had finally survived the five-day ordeal of survival and were full of hope, so they were generous in showing their kindness.
Meanwhile, Luo Xinglan, who was at the center of the conversation, was looking forward to opening the box.
At this moment, there were 5 bronze boxes, 2 silver boxes, and 2 gold boxes in front of her.
Without hesitation, she opened all the boxes at once and obtained [Energy Fruit x1], [Sponge x20], [Potato Chips x3], [Sprite x5], [Day Essence x1], [Moon Essence x1], [Carpet Blueprint x1], [Advanced Expansion Card x1], and [Fishing Rod Upgrade Card x1].
There are also some basic supplies and food.
Luo Xinglan used the Energy Fruit first, and it actually increased her maximum energy by 50 points in one go! She was really lucky.
Then, she picked up the [Sun Essence] and [Moon Essence], wondering why she had never seen them before.
[Japanese Essence: Materials for crafting equipment.]
[Moonlight: A material used to craft equipment.]
The introduction is very simple: what materials are needed to craft the equipment?
Luo Xinglan couldn't help but think of the equipment blueprints that were temporarily unusable.
She remembered that when she made the longbow for the shield, all she needed was a blueprint to make it. Isn't that the case for equipment as well?
Do we still need to consume materials?
Forget it, keep it for now.
Luo Xinglan put [Sun Essence x1] and [Moon Essence x1] directly into the box, and then used the backpack expansion card and fishing rod upgrade card.
Now, she has 60 storage lockers, and the probability of catching a silver chest with her fishing rod has increased to 10%.
Luo Xinglan stared at the 10% probability and fell into deep thought. The probability of getting a bronze chest increased by 20% each time, but she didn't expect that with a silver chest, an upgrade card could only increase it by 10%. What about a gold chest? Wouldn't the increase be even less?
She put those thoughts aside and picked up the carpet pattern to examine it.
[Carpet Blueprint: Can be used to craft carpets, requires 0/20 wool and 0/20 cotton.]
She can grow cotton slowly, but where is she going to find wool?
It seems we'll have to look for sheep on our next exploration. Luo Xinglan put the carpet blueprint away for the time being.
After opening the box, she went to eat dinner contentedly. She had just opened it and found a scallion pancake, so she would have scallion pancakes for dinner tonight!
Since scallion pancakes are a quick and easy food, they are simple to make; just pan-fry them until cooked. To increase the nutritional value, she also pan-fried a piece of black pork, which was the same black pork she had brought back last time. She looked at it and realized that there was still enough pork left for her to eat for a long time.
She spread some ketchup on the scallion pancake, added a pork chop, cut a piece for the little mouse, and they ate it like that.
The taste was pretty good, but it would have been even better with lettuce and a fried egg.
Luo Xinglan finished her dinner quickly.
After washing up, she took out the sofa blueprints.
[Sofa Blueprint: Can be used to craft a sofa. Requires 20/20 sponge, 55/20 wood, and 20/10 fabric.]
Luo Xinglan made the sofa and placed it in the bedroom.
The sofa is solid-colored, long enough to seat three people, and very soft to sit on.
Luo Xinglan sat on the sofa and took out the exploration card for the advanced island.
[Advanced Exploration Card - Island: This card allows you to teleport to any island for exploration. The exploration time is 6 hours, and the maximum number of participants is 5.]
From the description, apart from the number of people, there is no difference between it and the regular island exploration card.
After thinking for a moment, Luo Xinglan tentatively clicked "use".
"Consume 500 stamina points to explore a high-level island? (High-level islands are fraught with danger; it is recommended to travel in a team!)"
Luo Xinglan's hand trembled.
A regular island exploration card costs 50 stamina points, but this advanced one costs 500?
Never mind, her energy level is only 250, let's put her aside for now.
Furthermore, there are warnings that it will be fraught with danger. Since they specifically warned her, it must be extremely dangerous, beyond her current capabilities to explore.
If I had known, I wouldn't have specifically told the frog to bring back an advanced exploration card before it left. Now it can't explore anything and is just a decoration.
But so be it. She believed that one day she would be able to explore the advanced islands!
She put the exploration card into the box and quickly ate a grape to calm her nerves.
Then there was nothing left to do.
Luo Xinglan opened the world channel.
"My dinner tonight is grilled squid, it smells amazing!"
"How did you catch that squid? I'm so hungry!"
"Fishing traps! They can be made from weeds! But they're not very sturdy and it's not easy to catch fish. I've broken more than a dozen before I caught a squid."
"My fishing trap has never caught a fish; it's just a decoration!"
"I never imagined that a fishing trap could actually catch fish!"
"Yes, my fish trap can catch plastic bottles, old slippers, and garbage bags, but it can't catch any fish!"
...
There's a lot of discussion about fishing traps around the world, and it's clear that everyone is waiting for tomorrow.
This reminded Luo Xinglan.
How could she forget about the fishing cage?
The crayfish were caught using fishing traps back then, and now that they're out at sea, we can't let those fishing traps go to waste!
However, according to what everyone is saying, it seems that the fish traps don't catch any fish.
Well, let's make a few to try it out. Anyway, the raw material is just weeds. Even if we don't catch any fish, we'll only lose a few clumps of weeds.
But if she catches a fish, then she'll have seafood to eat from now on!
With that thought in mind, Luo Xinglan immediately made five fishing traps, took a flashlight, went outside, and lowered the fishing traps into the water near the edge of the raft.
With five fishing traps, surely we can catch no fish at all?
After setting the fishing cage, Luo Xinglan quickly returned to the house.
Although the outside temperature wasn't very high, the vast sea was pitch black, without a single ray of light, and staying there for too long felt a bit creepy.
Back inside, Luo Xinglan opened another bag of potato chips, lime flavored, and shared it with Little Ear Mouse.
Amidst everyone's anxiety, the time slowly approached midnight.
When the time came, the familiar voice rang out precisely on time.
