The Survivor from the Sea Chapter 6

After hesitating for a while, Riley finally asked where the clay came from. When he spoke, he felt that it might involve privacy, so he was quite cautious. Unexpectedly, Jasper didn't take it seriously at all and directly said that it was mud dug from the seabed, and it would become clay when it was half dry.

Then he began to explain to Riley that there were rich mineral resources under each island. This was the third island he had encountered in the past two days. When he encountered the first one, he knew nothing about it. He went to the island to search and then paddled away on the float.

He stayed on the second island for a day and killed a wild boar with a trap. While wandering around the island, he suddenly found a shiny object in the sea. He dug it up and found it was a rare metal. Then he dived repeatedly that day to dig for supplies.

Through Jasper's narration, the door to a new world was opened for Riley. It turned out that supplies can be dug up from the bottom of the sea, and it turned out that not everyone can pick up everything.

The European emperor next to her had never found a diagram of a simple barbecue grill so far, and he was an idiot in the kitchen, so he had been eating boiled fish in plain water for the past two days. He also didn't find any potatoes or sweet potatoes in the bottle, so he had no carbohydrate intake for the past two days. Riley couldn't tell who was more miserable after hearing this.

The production of coconut oil is rather troublesome. It took more than two hours just to scrape the coconut pulp. This was when the scraping started. Seeing Riley struggling with the machete, Jasper helped by nailing a wooden stool with wooden boards, and then found a piece of iron and worked on it, concave the iron into a strange shape, and then fixed it to the wooden stool.

Riley sat on the new stool, holding the coconut shell in both hands, and rubbed it against the iron sheet a few times, and the coconut pulp fell into the wooden stake basin below. The wooden stake basin was also made by Jasper Li. He went out to find a tree stump, took a homemade gadget, dug in the center of the stump for a while, and then used a machete to cut the outside circle flat before moving it to Riley's floating board.

It can be said that this tree stump pot has no problems at all, except that it takes some effort to lift it.

Looking at Jasper's amazing hands-on ability, Riley felt that it was normal for him to live in poverty. Other people's hands are hands, but her claws are obviously not of the same kind as others'. They might not even be as nimble as human feet.

With the tools in hand, the work became much more efficient. Soon, Riley scraped out the coconut pulp from all the coconuts that Jasper brought. She poured the coconut water into the water tank that Jasper had just brought to her. Jasper then took the coconut shells after scraping the pulp off the float, sat on the rock and began to rub the coconut shells against the stone.

After watching the other party's operation, Riley shifted his attention back to himself. The coconut flakes were completed. The next step was to heat fresh water, pour the hot water into the wooden basin containing the coconut flakes, and repeatedly scrub the coconut flakes until the hot water turned into milky white coconut milk. Then he squeezed the scrubbed coconut flakes dry and took them out. Finally, he poured the coconut milk into a large iron pot and stuffed wooden boards into the stove as fuel.

After a while, the pot started to boil. The coconut milk was bubbling in the big iron pot. At first, Riley was afraid that the bottom of the pot would burn, so he chopped a wooden stick and put it in the pot to stir it constantly. Later, he found that there was no danger of burning even if he didn't stir it, so he simply filled the stove with wooden boards and stopped staring at the iron pot.

Looking at the sun, she decided to go for another walk in the woods on the island.

While Riley was hanging a water bottle on his body and taking banana leaves to wrap food, Jasper, who heard the noise, finally raised her head from a pile of coconut shells. Seeing Riley's movements, she knew that she was preparing to search for some more supplies. Thinking of her previous defensive attitude, after thinking it over again, she asked her if she needed to travel with him.

The belongings that people had moved over were placed on the floating board. Riley was also trying to build a good relationship with Jasper, so when he heard the invitation, he didn't hesitate and nodded in agreement.

Jasper collected all the coconut shells on the rocks onto his float, still carrying his small leather bag as he followed Riley into the woods.

"Your small bag is quite convenient. It seems to have a large capacity, almost the same as my medium-sized storage box." Riley was holding an iron gun in his hand, and had several ropes tied to water and food on his body. He was envious of Jasper's small leather bag.

"Why don't we go to the island and kill a wild boar? This bag is made of dried pig skin. It is really convenient. It has a capacity of 15 slots and the upper limit of stacking is 99. If we encounter wild boars again later, we will kill another one and make a small bag for you. It will be too difficult to collect supplies without a bag." Jasper, who was originally following Riley, walked to the front unknowingly. The plants in the forest grew wildly and it was difficult to walk through many places. At the beginning, Riley was leading the way in front, and slowly it became Jasper.

Fellow players were too enthusiastic. Should she accept the reward without doing anything? Riley didn't struggle for long before she convinced herself. However, in return, since Jasper was not very proficient in the kitchen, she would help him a little to improve his living standards. She would also have to keep up with the carbohydrates. She would go fishing when she returned to see if she could catch more shoe basins.

With someone to accompany him to give him courage, the range of action was larger. Riley directed Jasper to go deeper into the forest. Along the way, they saw several rabbits squatting on the roadside and eating grass. Riley showed her toughness and stabbed a rabbit with a flying spear.

"How did you do it so accurately? I have to set traps every time to catch these animals!" Jasper was stunned by Riley's flying gun and asked with a little envy.

"Isn't this the same method as throwing a javelin in school? Aim with your eyes and throw it out with force." Riley walked to the iron spear in three or two steps, pulled up the rabbit and the iron spear from the ground, pulled the rabbit off the spear tip, and casually put it in Jasper's hand.

It is better to put this kind of bloody thing in the bag, otherwise it will attract other animals and cause trouble. Jasper looked at the rabbit in his hand, and then looked at the woman who just picked up a leaf from the side to wipe the gun tip. She even dug a hole and buried the bloody leaves in it.

From then on, Riley was a big man with high martial arts and superb cooking skills in Jasper's mind. Such a person must be curried favor with. The two people who wanted to curry favor with each other continued to go deeper into the woods together.

Along the way, Riley threw the gun and stabbed more than a dozen innocent rabbits. Jasper had gone from being shocked to being accustomed to it. Later, it evolved into a situation where Riley just threw the gun, and Jasper took care of all the picking up and collecting.

Jasper's hands-on ability and Riley's developed imagination worked well together, and by noon they had collected a lot of edible food.

After chopping down more than a dozen coconut trees and setting a stacking limit of 99, Jasper stuffed all the coconuts, wooden boards, and coconut leaves into his small leather bag. Not long after he walked out, he found a field of ramie. Riley didn't know anything about it, but that didn't stop her from picking, so Jasper explained it to her.

It is said that this thing is essential for making hemp rope or linen. They need to have a change of clothes to wear, so they will have to rely on this in the future. However, weaving the cloth is a bit troublesome. You have to soak the hemp, spin the hemp, and make a loom. But you can collect it first. This thing is hard to come by, so it is always a good idea to save some if you come across it.

As he said this, he asked Riley to keep all the roots and leaves, saying that they could be used as medicine after being dried.

"A loom? Wouldn't it require a sewing machine to make clothes? Can't this thing be made without a diagram? It's just a bit of a waste of raw materials and there's a chance of failure, but it's definitely simpler than the many steps you have. As for its medicinal uses, I can only see that ramie can be used to make linen, but I can't see that it can be used as medicine. How did you know?" Riley couldn't tell which was which, so he simply dug out a whole root and stuffed it into Jasper's hand.

"Making without a map? I don't know. Except for the maps I got from the message in the bottle, I have made things so far, and I have unlocked new maps by successfully making items. There is no such thing as making things without a map. As for the medicinal use of ramie, I have read a lot of books and they are quite diverse, including some books on traditional Chinese medicine." Jasper picked the things and put them in his bag. He planned to pack them up after returning to the floating board. Now it is more convenient to put them away as a whole.

"You made all the pots, pans, and utensils by yourself? Then you are really good at hands-on work. You should try making the cloth without a pattern. Otherwise, after you have sewed it in various ways and then made a loom, and then had to tailor the clothes to your body, the one you are wearing will be worn out by now." Riley was really impressed this time. He originally thought that he was a European emperor, but now it seems that he is a practical person who has accumulated all his current wealth step by step with his feet on the ground.

"It turns out that there is strength in numbers. No matter how good I am at doing things, I can't cover everything. The information gap is too serious. If you don't mind, can we check and make a map tonight to fill in the gaps?" Jasper's words really touched Riley's heart. She was just worrying about how to trick the handsome guy into exchanging some of her belongings. She didn't expect that the other person would be so selfless. It made her look a little petty and always calculating against others.

She kept saying "sin, sin" in her heart, but nodded in agreement. After picking hemp, she even found a clean place and invited Jasper to eat the grilled fish she brought with her. After receiving Jasper's praise, she also said that she could pay for three meals on the island for the next two days. Jasper, who hadn't eaten normal meals for two days, was flattered.

After lunch, the two continued to search for supplies in the woods. During the search, they not only killed two wild boars together, but also found corn fields and cotton fields. Sometimes they were fighting, and sometimes they turned into life players and picked in the fields. They were very busy, and only after they had finished drinking the fresh water in their pockets did they reluctantly walk towards the float.

After returning to the shore where the float was docked, Riley was not in a hurry to divide the spoils. Instead, he returned to his own float first. The wooden board in the stove had been burned out. He checked the coconut oil boiling in the iron pot and found that the oil residue had been separated. He took out the empty glass bottle and placed it next to the pot.

Looking at the iron pot and the glass bottle, Riley was in trouble. The mouth of the bottle was too small and the edge of the pot was too big, so he definitely couldn't pour it in directly.

Just as she was worrying about how to safely pour the coconut oil into the glass bottle, she didn't notice Jasper quietly paddling his float next to hers. It was not until he spoke that Riley realized that the two floats had touched each other.
