Chapter 358: After the Luck Was Stolen, the Survival Game Came
[No, after the shark is killed, it will start to rain...]
[Awesome, the world is so different! While I was still struggling surrounded by sharks, someone was already worrying about whether it would rain or not...]
[No, it shouldn't be a big deal if it rains. It's already this late, let's stop being so pretentious, dear! I'll trade you a weapon first!]
[It's so funny, bronze dares to challenge gold like this, I'll kill your monster first! ]
[Why is there no one selling rain gear at the trading stall? Any player with connections please come and join us! ]
[What are you afraid of? It's just raining. It's no big deal if you get wet! ]
[I have a wooden pavilion, hehehe, I am not afraid! ]
[I think I figured it out! It will probably start raining after the sharks are dealt with! ]
[No, no one can sell spears or long knives, but I saw daggers on the trading stalls! I'm scared, I don't dare to get so close to the shark! ]
Jiang Yueshu thought about it, glanced at the box that would take a while to float over, and immediately returned to the wooden boat, adjusted the position of the workbench, and moved it directly to the center of the wooden pavilion.
He took the blueprint of the elementary long sword he had obtained earlier and started making it. After it was finished, Jiang Yueshu put it on the trading stall.
A primary long sword requires 4 iron blocks, so she directly traded for 8 iron blocks.
Not knowing what the effect would be, Jiang Yueshu only made two basic long swords and then began to wait patiently for the wooden box to arrive.
When the wooden box drifted near the raft, Jiang Yueshu simply swung the fishing rod and fished the box up.
Jiang Yueshu did not open the box directly with her hands, but just picked it open with a wooden board, and obtained 20 wooden boards, 1 raincoat blueprint, 1 umbrella, 3 mineral waters, 2 hot pot bases, and 1 spicy hot pot.
Jiang Yueshu likes spicy food, so she was very satisfied with the last two items.
After collecting the supplies, a reminder will automatically pop up in the remaining empty boxes.
[A box that has been soaked in special rainwater and can only be used for burning! ]
Jiang Yueshu accepted it well and immediately disassembled the boxes and piled them on one side of the wooden pavilion ready to use for burning when the time came.
The boxes around were still far away, as if they had been soaked by the sudden rain and had gained weight, floating very slowly.
Jiang Yueshu originally wanted to paddle the wooden oar to find the treasure chest, but after she put on her raincoat and hat, she found that the resistance in the sea was quite strong when she paddled.
In the past, it was easy to row a distance of one meter, but now even half a meter is extremely difficult.
Besides, the boxes on the sea surface are too scarce. It would take a lot of effort to paddle over to catch them, but the input-output ratio is too low. There is no need to waste energy.
Jiang Yueshu planned to take advantage of the hard-earned forced rest time to sort out her supplies, or see if there was anything she could exchange at the trading stalls.
As soon as Jiang Yueshu turned on the light screen, she found that the previous primary long sword had been traded away, and someone was asking about it in the area chat.
[Which kindhearted person has put up the entry-level long sword? Can you give me a few more? I really need them! The longer the sword, the safer I feel! ]
[Need, need! I just didn’t get it! ]
[Brother who sells long knives, please help me! I just stabbed a shark with a dagger, but I got too close and got bitten. Now I urgently need a long knife and hemostatic medicine! ]
[Does anyone have hemostatic drugs? I have the blueprints to exchange with you! ]
[Oh my god, my shark has already bitten off four pieces of the raft, I need to attack with a long knife urgently! ]
[Help, a spear is fine, I don't care! Who has one? Put it up for sale! ]
Seeing that the long sword business was quite good, Jiang Yueshu directly made 10 more long swords and put them on the shelves.
In less than a minute, the long swords were sold out and Jiang Yueshu got the Iron Block X80.
Thinking of what the player just said, Jiang Yueshu put another hemostatic medicine on the shelf, which required a rare blueprint in exchange.
The game system will automatically filter the drawings owned by the buyer to avoid duplication of drawings between the buyer and the seller. The buyer does not need to perform much operation throughout the process, which saves some conversation steps.
Before Jiang Yueshu could put the long sword on the shelf again, the previous hemostatic medicine was traded away in exchange for a smelting furnace blueprint.
Jiang Yueshu put the drawings away and started making the long sword again. After putting ten copies on the shelf, Jiang Yueshu stopped.
There are fewer people asking for long swords in the regional chat group, and all kinds of long weapons are being traded at the trading stalls, so there is no point in doing so much.
The box floated over too slowly, so Jiang Yueshu had to build a smelting furnace first, then open the farming beads and start picking herbs.
Although Jiang Yueshu pulled out a handful of herbs before going to bed last night, after a night of recovery, those herbs grew lush again.
She could take advantage of the rainy day to make more hemostatic drugs and detoxifying pills.
Twenty minutes later, Jiang Yueshu caught a box and made ten portions of hemostatic medicine and detoxifying pills.
Five copies of each were put on the trading stalls, and the trading items were set up as various prescriptions.
Peace had long since returned to the regional chat.
[Oh, rainy days are the best time to sleep! ]
[Why are you all so idle? Don’t you want to fish for boxes? ]
[It’s raining so hard that I can’t see anything clearly. I’ll have to wait till the end of time for the box to float over. I still have enough food and drinks, so why would I fish for the box?]
[You can fish for boxes even in the rain. The people upstairs are so rich, it’s a good idea to stock up more! Who knows when the rain will stop! ]
[No, everyone should have a wooden pavilion or a wooden boat, so why would they want to get wet in the rain? ]
[Yes, there are some, but they are not that big, and it is a bit difficult to fish...]
[Please, I only have a small wooden pavilion now, and the fences around it are broken. I need wooden boards to repair them. Does anyone have any wooden boards? ]
[I was just wondering, isn't this fence supposed to protect against ordinary monsters? How did the shark come here?]
[Upstairs, the fence can only prevent sharks from entering, it can also destroy the fence. Haven't you noticed that sharks always bite the fence first? Once the fence is broken, they start biting the raft! ]
[Oh, all four corners are broken. Now I have to repair not only the raft but also the fence, and I have to get caught in the rain! ]
[Wait until the rain stops before you make up for it. It’s raining so hard now, and sharks have already come once, so they won’t come again. Why rush?]
[…No, I won’t feel at ease if I don’t make up for it.]
【Is there anyone selling raincoats? 】
[Okay, I've finished the tutorial. I'm going to sleep now. I hope the rain will stop and the sky will clear up when I wake up! ]
[Forget it, I'm going to sleep too. I've been waiting for two hours and I haven't seen a single box. What's the point of fishing?]
[No, let’s chat for a while, I really can’t sleep…]
Players in the regional chat group began to talk about it, as if they had returned to the calm before the survival game came into being.
Situ Xuan was also very bored, so she sat in front of the door of the wooden boat and made a video call to chat with Jiang Yueshu.
"Sister, I feel so suffocated! I feel like I'm going to die if I don't speak!"
Jiang Yueshu smiled and said, "Are you exaggerating?"
"No, no!" Situ Xuan waved her hands frantically.
"Really, if I didn't have you to chat with, I really couldn't stand my current life."
"At first, I was afraid to sleep at night, always afraid that something might happen in my dreams, and I felt very uncomfortable. Now I can fall asleep, but I am starting to get scared again, afraid that something dangerous might happen. Today, the shark really scared me!"
"What if we are attacked by a shark without knowing it?"
Situ Xuan asked with a look of horror.
"It's okay, don't think too much. If this is true, many players won't be able to react. If the game is set up like this, how many players do you think can stand here? Why bother to invest so much resources? Don't worry about it anymore!"
Jiang Yueshu calmly stopped picking vegetables and fruits and comforted Situ Xuan.
"That's true. I can sleep peacefully now!" Situ Xuan suddenly realized and muttered to herself.
"Oh, it would be nice if I could bring a pet. I have a cute kitten at home. At least it can talk to me."
"Don't even think about it. It's too dangerous here. It's hard to raise an ordinary kitten here. There should be some pets here, but I don't know if I can find one. If I'm lucky, maybe I can raise one."
Jiang Yueshu ruthlessly broke Situ Xuan's fantasy with a perfunctory remark.
The truth is that she had no hope for her and Situ Xuan's fate.
"Then I hope I'll be lucky enough to meet a cute pet!"
Situ Xuan looked excited and inexplicably expectant.
"Although I have bad luck, since I got the primary farming bead, I think I can do it again!"
"That's right, I wish you all the best!"
"Oh, it's all because of the sudden rain today! A few days ago, I was busy fishing for treasure chests and didn't think it was a big deal. Now I'm not used to being idle. I even suspect that I have a masochistic tendency!"
Situ Xuan pouted and complained.
"I think everyone is like this. I see quite a few players in the group are clamoring to go to bed!"
"Yes, I'm not sleepy at all now. I don't want to sleep..."
After picking the vegetables, Jiang Yueshu looked at the time. It was already 11:50.
There were a few boxes floating in the distance on the sea, and it was obvious that they would not be able to arrive before twelve o'clock, so Jiang Yueshu prepared to have her lunch first.
"What are you going to do, sister?"
Seeing Jiang Yueshu moving on the light screen, Situ Xuan became curious.
"It's almost twelve o'clock. The box can't float over. I'll have lunch now."
"It's twelve o'clock already? Okay, I'll cook too. Don't hang up, sister, we'll talk while we eat!"
Situ Xuan nodded and prepared to fix the camera first before preparing lunch.
She casually glanced at the box on the sea, and suddenly saw a wooden box swimming leisurely towards her.
Situ Xuan was overjoyed and hurried to grab the fishing rod.
"Ah, sister, there's a box floating over here! I'll fish it first!"
Jiang Yueshu saw her grab the fishing rod and prepare to rush out, and immediately stopped her.
"Wait, fish at the door, don't go out!"
"Ah?" Situ Xuan was stunned for a moment, but did not run forward anymore. She stood where she was, aiming in the direction and throwing the fishing rod while asking.
"Why? Wouldn't it be more accurate to fish closer?"
"Just fish first, and then we'll talk about it after you're done. Anyway, as long as the fish is drifting in your direction, it doesn't matter if you cast the rod a few more times."
Jiang Yueshu looked at the time. There were still five minutes until twelve o'clock, so there was still time.
Situ Xuan cast the fishing rod twice in a row and caught the box before 11:58.
"I don't know if the rain in the game world is a problem, so it's better not to get wet. You can just use a wooden board to pry open the box."
Seeing that she had caught the fish, Jiang Yueshu immediately reminded her.
Situ Xuan said "Oh" twice, put the fishing rod back into the wooden boat in a hurry, and used a wooden board to open the wooden box.
Jiang Yueshu went straight to the kitchen, chopped up the scallions, onions, ginger, garlic and other seasoning ingredients, took out the prepared hot pot base and broke it off in half.
She is going to have hotpot for lunch today, so she is frying the base ingredients first.
"Xuanxuan, do you want to eat hot pot? I have hot pot base!"
"Yes, yes, sister! I'm so greedy. My mouth is watering when I hear about hotpot!"
Jiang Yueshu immediately sent over the remaining half of the hot pot base.
As soon as the item was sent out, Situ Xuan's surprised voice came from the other side.
"Oh my god! I'm so lucky today! I actually got a Tamagotchi!"
Jiang Yueshu looked up and saw Situ Xuan holding a white round egg the size of a watermelon.
"What species?"
"I don't know." Situ Xuan shook her head. "It's an unknown pet egg. The system prompts that we can only know after it hatches."
"Great, I'm finally going to have a pet!"
Situ Xuan held the pet egg excitedly, her eyes sparkling.
"Not bad, I'm lucky today!"
Jiang Yueshu sighed.
Situ Xuan on the opposite side reluctantly put down the pet egg and tapped the light screen a few times.
"Sister, I also found two pieces of primary land and gave you one. Do you want it?"
Jiang Yueshu clicked on it and saw that the primary land was about one square meter, and the plant growth rate was X2.
Although she had primary agricultural planting beads, the space was limited after all. Most of the plants were planted with Chinese medicinal herbs, and the rest were crowded together. She didn't mind having too much land.
"Okay, then I'm welcome!"
Jiang Yueshu quickly clicked the button to receive it.
"It's okay, don't be polite to me!"
Situ Xuan spoke generously, put away the pet egg, and quickly took out the same stove and iron pot to start cooking.
"I think the supplies are good today. Is it because it's raining? Although there are few boxes, the quality is high!"
"Let's see if we can get more boxes this afternoon, sis!"
Situ Xuan guessed and couldn't help but remind Jiang Yueshu.
"Okay, got it."
After Jiang Yueshu had fried the bottom of the pot, she scooped out the excess ingredients and started adding water to boil.
The two of them were video chatting in the rain and eating their first hotpot since entering the gaming world.
It was not yet two o'clock, and Situ Xuan was ready to take a nap, so the two of them hung up the video.
Jiang Yueshu packed her things and took a rare nap, but was woken up by the little fur ball before two o'clock in the afternoon.
In the regional chat group, players also learned that good supplies would drop on rainy days, and many players were eagerly waiting to fish for boxes in the afternoon.
Jiang Yueshu opened the construction menu and looked around to see if there was anything that could be used, and then she found an upgraded version of the wooden paddle.
