Raft Survival: Fishing for Mermaids

The more money you make, the more you will be rewarded.

"Opening a box can also trigger the lucky guarantee, so why don't I just buy the wooden barrel treasure box directly!"

With an idea, Lin Chen immediately bought it in the public chat interface.

Lin Chen: "Buy treasure boxes that have never been opened. Bring the price."

Just as he was fantasizing about the beautiful prospect of opening boxes and making money, he was hit by reality the next moment.

"Brother Lin, treasure chests cannot be traded directly. I have tried. Treasure chests are non-tradable items, but the props inside can be traded directly after opening."

"The boss probably hasn't tried to put treasure chests on the shelves, so he doesn't know this. By the way, why does the boss want to buy treasure chests? Many things opened from treasure chests are useless, such as puppet drawings. It is better to buy ready-made props directly than to buy treasure chests."

"Maybe the boss likes the fun of opening boxes. We don't understand the world of the boss."

"..."

Looking at a string of messages replying to him, Lin Chen's dream of opening boxes was instantly shattered.

"It seems that the treasure chest can only be found by myself."

Lin Chen glanced at the time. It was already past 11 o'clock in the evening.

He turned off the bracelet projection, lay on a pile of palm leaves, and covered his belly with two layers of palm leaves.

"Ding"

The sound of private messages rang.

Lin Chen had already turned off the private message prompts from strangers. Only messages sent by Su Yun, who had added friends, would have prompts.

Su Yun: "Thank you, I have gained a lot today [Picture (Supplies piled up like a small mountain)]"

Lin Chen: "You're welcome. By the way, do you need a box?"

Another part of the vast sea.

After Su Yun sent the message, she was lying down to rest, and suddenly saw Lin Chen's reminder, and sat up again.

She now has too many supplies, which have piled up like a small mountain, and it is impossible to tie them up with ropes alone.

Su Yun was just about to reply to the message when she received a transaction request from Lin Chen.

[Inferior Box*200⇄None]

Su Yun was stunned.

200 boxes, for free!

Although I know that Lin Chen has a lot of supplies, giving them away for free is too exaggerated!

"No, I have taken a lot of things from Lin Chen, and I can't take them for free anymore."

Su Yun recalled her inventory and found that there was nothing good to give to Lin Chen. Lin Chen estimated that there were tens of thousands of wooden boards and palm leaves, and he was not short of them at all.

After thinking about it, only plastic has some value.

Su Yun: "I have already received a lot of benefits from you, I can't take your things for free anymore. Can I use plastic to buy boxes?"

[Su Yun: Directed transaction application]

[Plastic*500⇄Poor quality boxes*50]

Lin Chen: "Don't give me anything, I can't fit it on my boat anymore. [Picture (Densely packed boxes and piles of scattered supplies on the raft)]"

Lin Chen: "We are friends, shouldn't friends help each other? Take it. When you have something good in the future, just give it to me."

Su Yun looked at the message, pursed her lips, her eyes red.

How could she not repay Lin Chen for such a big favor!

Or, pledge her body to him?

Su Yun pinched her 36D, and a blush appeared on her cheeks.

"Ah! What am I thinking! Lin Chen is definitely not that kind of person! He has never seen me, and he doesn't know what I look like!"

Lin Chen sent another private message: "Accept it quickly. I'm going to sleep."

Su Yun's face was hot, and she clicked to accept.

Su Yun: "Thank you."

Lin Chen: "Good night."

Su Yun: "Good night."

The transaction was completed, Su Yun stood up and began to walk on the raft.

200 boxes fell on the raft, and she had to sort the things into the boxes. This much work was enough for her to be busy for a while.

When the time came to 00:00, the bracelet vibrated.

A series of new prompts popped up.

[Weather Forecast]

[Today is cloudy, the temperature is 22-26 degrees Celsius, the second level of light wind, and the day is long and the night is short. ]

[Tip: Today is the second day of the novice protection period, and the amount of supplies on the sea has doubled. 】

"I'm so sleepy... I still haven't packed half of it. I'll do it tomorrow. Anyway, a light breeze of level one can't blow away the supplies."

Su Yun yawned, made a bed with palm leaves, and slowly fell asleep.

............

It was morning.

After Lin Chen got up, the first thing he did was to check the fire.

He threw a few pieces of straw paper into the still smoking concave stove and blew gently until the straw paper was lit. He then stuffed a handful of palm leaves and a dry wooden board into it to wake up the dormant flame.

Then, he took out the accumulated firewood from the box.

Drinking water for a night, and the meat of the lightning eel that had been cut up last night.

The temperature was over 20 degrees, and the environment on the ocean was humid, so it was difficult to preserve meat.

Lin Chen tried to raise fish in a box. He filled the box with seawater and put in a few excellent quality fish, but the fish did not move in the box, looking like they were about to die.

In order to complete the experiment, Lin Chen roasted all the other fish directly, leaving only one excellent quality fish in the box.

He opened the box to check and found that the fish was dead.

The sad Lin Chen had to use it to make glass fish bait.

This bait is not produced by the production station, so there is no entry introduction. But according to the experience of the fishermen in the chat channel, this bait is likely to attract the same fish to bite the hook.

Lin Chen did not choose to use the meat of the lightning eel as bait, because there is a risk of breaking the excellent fishing rod when fishing for excellent fish.

This is a +3 fishing rod, and Lin Chen certainly doesn't want it to break suddenly.

After eating half of the Thunder Electric Eel meat for breakfast, Lin Chen started a new day of activities.

"I have so many supplies now, let's brush a good quality fishing net first!"

The probability of lucky bottom +3 is too low. Lin Chen has only triggered it once so far, so he doesn't expect it, but +2 is still worth pursuing.

After making five ordinary quality fishing nets in succession, Lin Chen finally brushed a +2 good fishing net.

[Fishing Net (Good): Cast it anywhere in the sea area, with a high probability of catching ordinary and lower quality fish, and a small probability of catching good fish. Consume 3 points of durability per hour. It is recommended to collect the net after at least 2 hours to ensure the harvest of the fishing net. Durability: 120/120. ]

"Cast the net!"

Lin Chen grabbed the fishing net and threw it into the air.

"Huh? Why is this fishing net so much lighter?"

When casting the net yesterday, Lin Chen still felt that the fishing net was very heavy and couldn't be thrown at all, but today it was very easy.

"No, that's not right. It's not that the fishing net is lighter, it's that my strength has increased!"

After eating two excellent fish, Lin Chen's physical fitness has been greatly improved.

"If I eat this every day, I can become a superman!"

Excitement flashed in Lin Chen's eyes.

But he quickly calmed down.

He recalled the feeling when he ate the thunder electric eel this morning, which was obviously not as strong as the feeling when he ate the streamer red shadow fish last night.

This kind of physical improvement may be a logarithmic curve, which improves quickly at the beginning and then gradually slows down.

But Lin Chen is already very satisfied.

After all, he was just a hard-working office worker before crossing. Although his figure is not fat, he has some fat.

And now he is definitely a standard Peng Yuyan figure!

After casting the fishing net, Lin Chen decided to go out to find a wooden barrel treasure chest.

Then he found a very serious problem.

His raft couldn't move!

After a large number of expansion boards, the raft was hundreds of square meters, and it was not something that Lin Chen could paddle with just one board.

Lin Chen had to use eight raft expansion boards to reassemble a 2*4 raft for exploration.

"Ding Di"

Su Yun: "Good morning."

Lin Chen, who was about to travel far away, received Su Yun's morning greetings.

Lin Chen replied: "Good morning."

Su Yun: "There will be a system message at 00:00 in the evening. You can see it when you turn on the new message projected by the bracelet."

Su Yun: "I tried smoking barbecue last night, which can probably be preserved for more than a month. I just checked and it has been successful [Picture (smoked meat)]. Do you have a way to preserve meat? Do you want me to smoke it for you?"

Su Yun: "Or you can rebuild the stove according to my picture [Picture]. I have seen your stove, it is not very convenient to make smoked meat. If you are short of mud and sand, I will go to the sea to help you get some later."

Lin Chen had sold all the white shark meat last night. This kind of ordinary quality meat is not worth him trying to preserve.

He also hung five excellent quality grilled fish around him as energy supply for today's voyage.

However, Su Yun's words gave Lin Chen a way to preserve food. If he encounters a large amount of high-quality meat in the future, he can smoke it to preserve it.

Lin Chen replied: "I also smoked some meat last night, but my skills are not as good as yours. I will go back today to modify the stove and try again."

Su Yun: "Go back? You are not on the raft?"

Lin Chen: "Well, my raft is too big and I can't paddle it. By the way, this is for you."

[Lin Chen: Directed Transaction Application]

[Buoy (Ordinary) * 500 ⇄ None]

Lin Chen: "Your raft should be quite big now, you have to make a small raft to go out and explore. With this, you won't get lost."

Su Yun was stunned when she saw the transaction information.

She originally saw

After successfully making her own smoked fish, she was excited to share her smoking skills and help Lin Chen process the white shark meat.

But she didn't expect that Lin Chen also knew the smoking skills and didn't need her help at all. He even gave her 500 buoys.

"This favor is completely repaid..."

Su Yun clicked to accept the transaction, and 500 buoys fell on her raft.

Su Yun: "Thank you! I'm going out to explore later!"

There's no rush to collect the things scattered on the raft, because even a breeze can't blow them away.

"Go out and explore first! Find a barrel treasure chest!"

"Give it to Lin Chen when I find something good! I can't keep taking his things for free!"

Su Yun thought to herself, and then went to the crafting table to build a small raft and set sail.
