After the durability of the five prepared sieves was reduced to zero, Riley turned his head and was shocked to find that the supplies on the floating board behind him were piled up.
There were a lot of things, but she herself was not in good condition. She was thirsty and hungry, and both her stats were extremely low. She had no time to pack up the supplies she had just salvaged. She staggered back to the middle of the floating board, picked up the sweet potato that had been baked in the morning and started to eat it. She ate it too hard and choked and burped. She drank half a bottle of fresh water before her stats came back up.
"It seems that I need to always have food and water with me in the future. I almost died just now. It was so scary. I was already swaying on the sea, and now the value has dropped to a certain level, I feel like the world is shaking along with me." After eating and drinking and taking a rest, Riley began to pack up the supplies that had just been salvaged.
Only four drifting bottles were salvaged this time, which is obviously much less than the number salvaged before, but the quality is still very high. After opening, two of them actually contained rare metals, 1 copper and 1 steel. The remaining two contained one sweet potato and the other a production diagram.
[Name: Copper, Steel, How to obtain: Obtain from drifting bottles or dig from the seabed, wide range of uses, players need to explore on their own]
"Excavating the seabed? You can't just jump in." Riley put the rare metal aside, stretched her head to look at the dark sea, gave up the idea, and was afraid of the unknown. On land, she could still jump around, but it would be better to be a quail on the sea. She would never explore blindly as long as she could stay alive.
The atlas is a medium-sized storage box, and the materials needed to make it are: 5 wooden boards, 5 iron products. This is really a good thing. The storage box can perfectly solve the problem of her current messy placement of things. It's not that she doesn't keep things organized, but there are too many things and she can't clean them up no matter what.
I took out the materials and first made three storage boxes, which I placed side by side on the float. I didn't rush to fill them with supplies. Instead, I made five more floats, turning the 2*2 float into a 3*3 one. The nine floats were tied together, and the living space suddenly became much more spacious.
After finishing all these, he started to pack up the supplies in different categories. After trying, Riley found that these storage boxes have two forms. The first type is the common box in life, which can be used to stack things together. The other type is the storage box in the game, which is a 5*5 space, that is, 25 grids. The same kind of items can be placed in each grid, and the upper limit of stacking is 99.
When you take things out, you only have to take one at a time, which is a little inconvenient, but it's better than piling them all on the float.
As for food storage, Riley also tried it. Food of the same type can still be stacked in the same grid. It is quite user-friendly when taking them out. They are actually sorted according to freshness, and the ones taken out first must be the least fresh.
This box is so smart that as long as there is food that is less than three days fresh in a certain grid, a red frame warning will pop up in the entire grid to remind the player to eat this part first.
After cleaning up the supplies piled on the float, Riley began to clean up the dozen or so fish caught yesterday. According to her observation, these fresh fish are only fresh for three days, but after being cut into pieces and grilled on the grill, their freshness becomes 10 days.
She also thought about whether making salted fish could keep it fresher longer, or even drying it in the sun to increase its freshness, but these are not feasible at this stage.
Salted fish requires a lot of salt, which she doesn't have. Not to mention that she doesn't have the tools to dry the fish, even if she succeeds in drying it, she doesn't have a pot to cook it. Obviously, seafood like dried fish is no longer the kind that can be put on the grill.
So it’s better to be realistic, peel off the fish skin, roast the fish meat, scrape off the fat to make torches, and throw away the fish bones and other internal organs.
It was a good idea, but catching more than ten fish at a time was very tiring for Riley. The fish meat had to be roasted bit by bit, and there was fat hanging on the fish skin, so she scraped it off bit by bit. Finally, the clean fish skin was spread on the floating board, and the fish eggs were soaked in a plastic box.
She put the fish head and bones together with great pain, forgetting about the chopped pepper fish head. When she was wondering what to do with it, she found that the fish bones she had used to make traps the day before were missing. After ruling out the possibility of being washed away by the sea water, Riley finally concluded that they were refreshed by the system.
Since she had not been paying attention to these things all the time, she only remembered after thinking for a long time that they were still there before dark the day before, but she seemed not to have seen them since dawn today. For the sake of experimenting, she put these unwanted things directly in the corner of the floating board this time, and paid attention to them whenever she had time. She wanted to see how long it would take for them to be refreshed.
After harvesting the ripe potatoes and sweet potatoes and planting new ones, Riley began her salvaging business again. While salvaging, she looked up and noticed a black dot in the distance.
"Animals? Boats? Islands? Other players' floats?" He put his hand on his eyebrow and tried to look into the distance. After looking for a long time, he still couldn't make out what it was. Without even thinking about it, Riley picked up the wooden board that he had just fished up and started using it as a paddle, trying to change the drifting direction of the float.
No matter what that little black dot in front is, she cannot afford to offend it now. She should run away as fast as she can while it is still far away.
While rowing, he tried to call the system, and this time the system, which had been silent all the time, finally spoke.
[What's the problem with player 38? ]
"What is that black spot in front? Will I be attacked? Is my life in danger?" Riley asked questions quickly after finally hearing the system's voice.
The system did not reply immediately. After a while, it said: [The front is an island. Player 38, don’t you know that there is a novice protection period? You will not be attacked in the first fifteen days of the game, including entering the range of hostile creatures. As long as you do not actively attack, you will not be harmed. ]
"Active attack? Then I will make the first move, and the opponent can hurt me, right? What about between players? Will any player actively attack me?" If you don't ask for trouble, you won't get beaten. This is okay. I'll just avoid them when the time comes. Hostile creatures are never as scary as players. I must ask clearly if I meet them this time.
[Players cannot attack each other during the novice protection period. ]
"Can we attack at will after the protection period? Not only do I have to guard against hostile creatures, but I also have to guard against other players? This setting is a bit cruel. There will always be people who want to get something for nothing. It will be scary after more than ten days." Riley curled his lips. This game is getting harder and harder to play.
After answering these questions, the system fell silent again. Riley had gotten used to this elusive system. If it appeared anyway, he would just ask a few more questions. If it didn't appear, he would have to rely on himself. He would be able to survive anyway.
Knowing that there is an island ahead, there is no need to hide, just float over with the wind. During the novice protection period, it is a good thing to see the world more.
It looked like a black dot, but it didn't float away until dark. On the second night in the game, Riley had gotten used to it. He lit the torch he had prepared long ago and had a grilled fish dinner in the light. Before going to bed, he filled all the glass bottles with fresh water and planted the crops in shoe basins.
Only then did he find an open space in the middle of the float and fall asleep peacefully.
When he woke up the next day, he heard the float hitting the rocks on the shore. After waking up, Riley took a while to relax. He stood on the boat and observed the flora and fauna on the island. He decided to tie the float to the protruding rocks with a rope. He would have to get a big rock to serve as an anchor when he got to the island.
After rinsing his mouth with some salt water and eating fish and baked potatoes for breakfast, Riley braided a long rope and used all his strength to tie the float to the rock, then took up his only weapon, the iron gun, for self-defense.
Considering that I had no idea how long this expedition would take and I was afraid that I would faint from hunger, I took three pieces of fish and wrapped them in leaves, and tied two bottles of fresh water with ropes and hung them on my body. After everything was ready and I made sure that all my values were correct, I got off the float.
The moment his feet touched the ground, Riley almost cried. After drifting on the sea for two days, it felt really good to have his feet on solid ground. He calmed down and began to explore the island.
Compared to the scarcity on the sea, the supplies on this island are truly abundant. There are not only various trees, but also many fruits and fungi. The most important thing is that there are many herbs on the ground. Riley doesn't know them, but the system gives him prompts. As long as he is careful enough, there are too many supplies.
Walking and stopping on the island, Riley even wanted to set up camp here. This idea was abandoned when she encountered a wild boar for the third time and a poisonous snake for the fourth time. Now is the novice stage, and these creatures will ignore her. If the protection period is over, any one of them will bite her.
Especially since the name of this game is Survival at Sea. If she really moves the camp to the island, she might run into any trouble. If the supplies on the island don't refresh, she'll be in trouble. By that time, others will be diligently upgrading their floats, while she will be upgrading the island camp. When the supplies are scarce, she will have to set sail again with the float. Maybe others have already turned their floats into small boats, and her nine floats will really not be enough by then.
After wandering around the island for half an hour, Riley decided to chop down coconut trees first. The reason was very simple. The trunks could be used as planks, and the coconuts were very useful. The coconut juice could be drunk as water, the coconut meat could be used to make oil, and even the shell could be used as a container. It was truly a treasure trove.
After standing under the coconut tree and studying it for a while, Riley first used the iron spear to tentatively poke the trunk of the coconut tree a few times. He looked up while poking, fearing that a coconut would fall and hit him. He didn't expect that chopping down a tree was set up like a game. Every time he poked it, something would fall, and there was a chance that it was a plank, a leaf, or a coconut. Fortunately, it didn't fall directly from the tree, but appeared directly at the bottom of the tree.
After poking it for more than twenty times, the tree finally disappeared completely from sight, leaving only a stump in its place.
Looking at the eight wooden boards, eight coconut leaves and six coconuts at his feet, Riley touched the iron spear head in his hand with heartache. Fortunately, the durability had not decreased much.
She followed the same method and chopped down two more coconut trees. The drops were almost the same. Looking at the supplies all over the ground, Riley was in trouble again. Although she deliberately chose to chop down trees not far from the float, it was still not possible to move all these things back at once.
He made a few ropes with the cut leaves and tied the wooden boards together. He then found two banana trees nearby and poked them skillfully with the iron spear, obtaining a lot of banana leaves and bananas.
