Not to mention the six storage boxes placed in a row and stored according to the types of items. After a while, Jasper put all the supplies on the float into them, and the activity space suddenly became larger. Riley pushed his supplies over and put them away.

The two decided to dismember the two wild boars before it got completely dark.

Each of them held a machete and flew it up and down. At the beginning, they were not very skilled and either hit the bones or cut the pig skin. After a while, Riley learned to use brute force to break it. It was completely a miracle of great strength. When the machete got stuck on the bone, she pulled it out and accumulated strength for a strike. She was much more careful when peeling the pig skin, because it concerned her small pig skin bag, which must not be damaged.

Riley started from the pig's head. When she had almost finished chopping, she looked at Jasper's progress. It turned out that knowledge is power. Jasper didn't have to put in much effort. He just cut along the texture of the pig's bones and muscles.

So the current situation of this wild boar is that the upper body, including bones and meat, is divided into countless pieces, while the lower body is just bones and meat, it is exactly like the pork on the chopping board in the vegetable market.

"Have you ever worked as a butcher?" Riley asked as he picked up a pork rib.

"No, these are all things I've read in books." Jasper shook his head while cutting.

"You have a pretty good brain, and you remember every book you've read? But you even read books on animal husbandry, your interests are too broad. What did you do before entering the game?" The boss was so powerful, no wonder Riley couldn't help but want to find out more.

"Teachers don't have photographic memories. Those who are interested will look at it more, but there are also those who can't remember what they have seen." After Jasper cut up the pig in front of him, he washed his hands, took out a bunch of apples from his small leather bag, washed two, and handed one to Riley.

No wonder this guy has such a good temper and is so enthusiastic. It turns out he is a teacher. This explains his attitude when he first saw Jasper. Some good teachers are naturally warm-hearted and have a firm grasp of selfless dedication.

Riley took a bite of the apple. He originally wanted to persuade this person, but then he thought that saying this would be too disappointing. He decided to say a few words before parting. After all, it is sometimes inappropriate to say deep words to someone you just met.

By the time the two wild boars were dismantled, the sun had completely set.

Riley quickly made two torches, poured the remaining coconut oil in the bowl onto the ropes of the torches, lit them, and then inserted one into his own float and let Jasper insert the other into his float.

With oil, the torch is much brighter than usual.

While it was still daylight, Jasper first made the bed that Riley would need to sleep on at night, and the toilet would be arranged tomorrow morning.

After assembling the new bed for Riley, the two of them sat on the floating board in the light of the torches and began to collect the cotton and ramie. According to Jasper's explanation, Riley started to pick them up bit by bit.

After finally picking up both crops, Jasper took out a lot more from his small leather bag. These were the ones he came across when he went out alone the second time, and he picked them all back. The amount was more than the first time they went out together.

Riley didn't stand up that whole night. He just sat there and kept fiddling with these things. After they were all sorted out, Jasper gathered all the things together and divided them into two. He kept half for himself and moved the other half to Riley's floating board.

"Why give me so much? You went the second trip by yourself, so just give me what you picked on the first trip." Riley was still not used to receiving things without doing anything.

"This is a division of labor and cooperation. I went out to collect, and you were not idle on the boat either, cooking and cleaning up the rabbits. You were also busy. If these jobs hadn't tied you down, you would have gone with me. This is the fruit of our common labor and can't be divided so simply!" Jasper was quite satisfied with tonight's dinner. If it weren't for the game setting of each person having a float, he would definitely have clung to the boss's thigh. He could still tell the difference between a full meal and a full meal.

It was quite reasonable that Riley left him speechless. If he had gone out on his own, he would definitely split the money in half when he came back. There was really nothing wrong with it.

"By the way, wait until tomorrow morning, I will make all the things you need first, and then you can help me make ten medium-sized storage boxes. It's hard to say when the blueprint will be available. I just tried it, and those without things can be put directly into the storage boxes. When I have more supplies in the future, I can take them out directly and use them." Jasper stuffed all the ramie and cotton he got into the storage box.

"That's easy. You try to make it without a map first. If you can produce so many maps, I'll say your luck is definitely better than mine. My success rate is too low. It's better for me to try it after you have figured out the materials needed for the map." As she said that, Riley took out some of the ramie she had just received and stuffed it into Jasper's hand.

Jasper didn't waste any words and asked about the specific production process. Riley didn't have much experience, so he just told him what he knew. Jasper thought about it, took four ramie stems, and started the production without diagrams.

The next second, a golden light flashed, and a piece of linen appeared in his hand. Riley took it and opened it. He roughly calculated that the size was about two meters by two meters. He twisted the cloth and found that the density was not bad and it was quite strong. Wearing linen clothes in summer must be cool.

"Jasper, did you say that cotton can only be used to fill the interlayer of a cotton-padded jacket in winter?" Riley stared at the linen and suddenly remembered that there was a pile of cotton.

"Not really. In fact, cotton cloth is made from cotton. However, 100% pure cotton is not wear-resistant and is prone to pilling. It is just sweat-absorbent and comfortable to wear." Jasper shook his head and explained.

"Then try it with cotton again." No matter what the result is, it is always good to have one more map. Riley brought cotton to him to try again.

Jasper grabbed a handful of cotton from her hand, without even saying a word this time. With a flash of golden light, the cotton in his hand turned into a white T-shirt.

"Huh? Is it possible like this? Then why use linen? Just make all kinds of clothes directly." Riley picked up the T-shirt from Jasper's hand in surprise. When he unfolded it, he saw that it was quite big. He gestured and it should be a men's style.

"I just wanted to try it, but I didn't expect it to be successful. You can also try it later. What I just wanted to do was to make cotton T-shirts. According to this logic, linen clothes and cotton pants should be able to be made." Jasper explained the operation just now.

Seeing that it was getting late, the two decided not to study it for the time being and would do it after they woke up. Anyway, they were not planning to leave the island tomorrow.

Riley finally slept comfortably that night. Although the bed was made of coconut leaves and banana leaves, it was much more comfortable than lying on the floating board in the past two days. Jasper also helped her make a small pillow with banana leaves and ropes, and covered her with the newly made linen as a quilt.

I was woken up by the clanging sounds of Jasper in the morning. I opened my eyes and looked towards the source of the sound. Jasper was hammering nails into the wooden board.

Seeing Riley being woken up, he felt embarrassed and explained that he had been awake for more than an hour. The soil and nails needed in the early stage were all prepared. Considering that he was going to go into the sea to dig some more in a while, he started hammering and banging at the risk of waking her up.

Riley looked up at the sun and saw that it was indeed getting late. He smiled and said that he had slept in and it did not affect him.

After getting up, he simply rinsed his mouth with salt water. Riley asked him if he had eaten breakfast. Jasper was busy nailing wooden boards and shook his head and said he hadn't eaten yet. However, a few corns were already cooked in the pot, and some for Riley was also prepared, so they could eat together later.

"It's a pity that there is too little salt and fresh water. I got some salmon roe when I was cleaning salmon before, and it's about to expire. I've used it with rice in a restaurant before, and it was quite delicious." When Riley took a few pieces of grilled fish from the storage box, he saw the salmon roe that was about to expire in a day. He felt a little distressed and planned to wash it and add it to the fish soup in the evening.

"I do have some salt and half a tank of fresh water. I will go to the sea to collect some materials and make you a purifier with glass. It should be better than your water filter and can be made bigger, so it can produce more fresh water and salt." Jasper was still nailing the wooden frame.

"Going into the sea? We don't have any equipment, so are we just going to do it like this?" Riley heated up the leftover fish soup from last night, and heated up a few pieces of grilled fish, then brought them to the table and put out the dishes and chopsticks.

"I just went down like this, with only the clothes on. There was no one else on the island before, so I took off my clothes and dried them. I don't have to worry this time because I have new clothes. By the way, have you noticed the icon of the small clothes on the status bar? Every time I go into the water, water droplets will appear on the small clothes, and then the status bar will move backwards. I guess this thing should be a reminder for us to stay clean and dry. As for what will happen if the status bar falls, I don't know yet. After getting on the float, I will dry the clothes as quickly as possible." Jasper said as he finished nailing a planting pot with the clanging of his hands.

He dragged the pot and the small leather bag onto Riley's float, asked her where she planned to put the pot, then took out the soil he had dug yesterday from the bag. After everything was packed up, he let Riley try planting it. He had already prompted her to learn the diagram of the medium-sized planting pot.

Considering that he would have to prepare more potatoes and sweet potatoes for Jasper after they separated, Riley divided the two potatoes into six pieces and buried them in the planting pot. Because he didn't know the capacity of the planting pot, he took a few more sweet potatoes. It was not until he planted four more sweet potatoes that the planting pot indicated that no more seeds could be added.

The capacity of this planting pot is much larger than that of the shoe pot. It takes a full glass bottle of fresh water to indicate that the crops are growing. Riley is still happy about it. After all, a shoe pot can only plant one crop at a time, and even that requires half a bottle of fresh water. This planting pot can hold ten seeds at a time and only uses one bottle of fresh water. You know which one is better without any calculation.
