Chereads / Ocean Survival: Check In to be the Great Voyager / Chapter 3 - the Rotten Sailor Hat

Chapter 3 - the Rotten Sailor Hat

On the small wooden raft, which was 2x2 in size, there were four small wooden buckets neatly arranged.

Bick rubbed his hands excitedly and opened one of them first.

[You have opened the lucky wooden buckets!]

[You have obtained wood x6!]

[You have obtained cans x2!]

[You have obtained grass balls x2!]

Alright, they were all basic materials.

Bick opened the other three small wooden barrels in succession and obtained some basic materials. However, he obtained two cans this time, which could be broken down into four metal pieces.

Metal pieces were good thing. Although they were also basic materials, they were much rarer than things like wood and grass balls.

After taking stock of the materials in hand and breaking them down at the same time, Bick nodded his head in satisfaction.

[Wooden board x22, plastic sheet x12, hay x10, metal sheet x10]

Seeing that he had so many materials, Bick was eager to open the principle interface and figure out what to make next.

The most practical and urgent thing was the tools. Bick's eyes fell on the manufacturing principle of the construction hammer.

[Construction hammer: Wooden board (0/2)]

It only needed two wooden boards. This was very easy!

Manufacturing!

Bick chose the manufacturing option. After about two to three seconds, a heavy construction hammer appeared in his hand.

[Construction hammer]

[Level: Inferior]

[Explanation: It can be used to build some facilities, such as floors, doors, windows, fences, and so on. It is worth noting that this construction hammer is of inferior quality, so it is very easy to break. ]

Bick looked at this explanation and shook his head, but it was not a big deal. After all, this thing did not require a lot of materials.

With this construction hammer, Bick naturally wanted to see what good things he could build.

Looking at the interface on the stone slab, an icon of a small man holding a construction hammer appeared. Under the icon, there was a list of things that he could now use the construction hammer to build.

[Rough floor: Wood (4/4) , grass rope (0/1)]

[Level: low quality]

[Explanation: It can bear some weight but it must be built with a raft. It can expand the space of the raft, allowing you to take a walk on the raft. ]

"With this thing, I can expand the space on the raft!"

This was great. This 2x2 small raft was too narrow and it was not stable on the sea surface.

If the raft could be expanded, not only would it have more space to move around, but it could also improve the efficiency of collecting materials.

The bigger the raft, the easier it was to stop all kinds of floating materials in the sea!

Now, he needed a straw rope. Bick was about to check the method of making the straw rope, but he did not expect the interface on the slate to display it.

[Straw rope: Hay (2/2)]

[Level: low quality]

[Explanation: It can bind some things, but it's not very strong. It's best to check it often.]

Make!

Almost at the same time he gave the order, a straw rope appeared in Bick's hand.

However, he wanted to double the original size of the raft, so Bick continued to make. In just a few seconds, four straw ropes were made by him.

Then, Bick went to the edge of the raft and started to make rough floors.

As he gave the order, a rough floor appeared on the edge of the raft ten seconds later and became part of the raft.

Continue!

Bick made three rough floors in a row, and his raft, which was originally 2x2 in area, became 2x4 in area and doubled in size.

It seemed that the raft was indeed much more spacious.

Bick smiled slightly. He did not enjoy the fruits of his labor immediately. Instead, he planned to make a small grill.

After checking the principle interface, he frowned slightly.

[Small grill: Metal sheet (1/1), wooden board (4/4), charcoal (0/1)]

[Charcoal: Wooden board (3/3)]

He still had the last four wooden boards in his hands. If he added the materials needed to make charcoal, the wooden boards would not be enough.

While he was troubled, Bick suddenly remembered that he still had three small lucky wooden buckets that he had yet to open. He had been busy making supplies just now and had forgotten about this!

He opened all the small lucky wooden buckets at once. The supplies he obtained were really rich!

[You opened three lucky wooden buckets!]

[You got wood x2!]

[You got can x1!]

[You got plastic bottle x6!]

[You got glass bottle x1!]

[You got orange x2!]

[You got a rotten sailor hat x1]

"My God, the resources are really complete!"

Bick counted the resources he got. He thought he could make a small grill and an efficient seawater purifier, but the materials were not enough.

However, the oranges and the sailor hat attracted his attention.

The oranges were good thing when floating on the sea because it was difficult to get enough vitamins after living here for a long time. It was easy to get septicemia after a long time!

That was a fatal disease and it was very painful after being sick!

With these two oranges, firstly, one could solve the vitamin problem, and secondly they could be used to quench thirst before making the water purifier.

As for the sailor hat...

Bick picked it up and looked at it. It did indeed look spoiled. It was completely black and there seemed to be some stains that could not be seen clearly.

[Spoiled sailor hat]

[Level: normal]

[Explanation. A sailor hat that is full of blood stains can emit a strong smell of blood in the water, so do not bring it with you to dive. Otherwise, you will be surrounded by sharks. But on the raft, you can use it to shade yourself from the sun.]

Bick scratched his head helplessly. He did not know what else this thing could do other than shade himself from the sun. Could it be used to commit suicide by diving?

In order to solve the shortage of materials, it was better to go to the trade interface to see if it was more reliable. After tidying up these things, Bick opened the trade interface of the stone tablet.

[Trade]

[Wooden board for fresh water]

[Remarks: Very thirsty!]

[Hay x3 for fresh water]

[Remarks: Private chat for those with food, I will exchange the materials!]

[Grass rope for wooden board x2]

[Too much grass rope, I need wooden boards. If you have wooden boards, hurry up and trade!]

...

After reading a few pages of the trade content, Bick was somewhat disappointed. Other than food and fresh water, wooden boards were now in short supply.

If he hung the metal sheet on the transaction interface, he should be able to exchange it for wooden planks. However, the metal sheet was a rare material, so he did not want to sell it easily.

Since his search was fruitless, he would definitely take a look at the chat interface.

[Chat]

[Who has food, fresh water? If this continues, I will die!]

[I am in danger!]

[Not good! The shark is attacking me! A piece of the raft floor was bitten off by the shark!]

[The shark on my side also bit off my floor. Now there are only three floors left. What should I do?]

[This... Why don't you give me a weapon!]
