Early in the morning, Bick was still awakened by Einstein's scream. He stretched and drank a glass of water, feeling refreshed.
"Oh right! Sign in first!"
As if his mind had become clearer, Bick remembered to sign in the system as soon as he got up.
With a thought, the sign-in was completed instantly.
[Ding! Daily check-in successful!]
[You have obtained the schematic diagram of the spear launcher!]
"Spear launcher?"
This sounded like a powerful weapon. Bick did not read the detailed explanation and chose to build it directly.
Opening the stone tablet's principle interface, Bick saw how it was built.
[Spear launcher: Wooden Board (6/6), metal sheet (2/2), iron nails (0/4), grass rope (0/2)]
Bick first built the iron nails and grass rope, then filled them into the schematic diagram and began to build.
Three minutes later, a huge base appeared on the raft.
Five minutes later, a structure similar to a crossbow appeared on the wooden base.
Ten minutes later, the entire spear launcher was completed!
That huge volume took up two whole floors on the raft. The crossbow on the base could rotate freely and also had the aiming function.
[Spear launcher]
[Level: high quality]
[Explanation: A successful product that can continuously shoot out spears, but the continuous shooting speed is relatively slow. So before the enemy gets close to you, destroy them. The prerequisite is that if you have enough spears.]
Looking at the explanation of this weapon, Bick nodded. He inserted the remaining metal spears into the launching slot and gently pulled the mechanism.
Whoosh!
The sound of wind breaking entered his ears. The metal spear drew a parabola and actually shot out a distance of one to two hundred meters.
"Beautiful!"
Bick cried out excitedly. However, on second thought, he felt that although this thing was powerful, it was a bit wasting resources when it was used!
"The flaw of this thing is that it cannot retrieve the spear that was shot out!"
Of course, not being able to retrieve the spears didn't mean that it was useless. If they really encountered a powerful enemy, the spear launcher would still be very useful.
However, taking into account the problem of shooting speed mentioned in the introduction, Bick decided to make another spear launcher. At the same time, he also made 20 metal spears and stuffed them into the filling slots of the two spear launchers.
After that, Bick took out the material divination compass from his wooden backpack.
Today, he was going to divine whether there was any cultivated soil on the island.
Cultivated soil and ordinary soil could be used to grow plants, but the growth rate of plants and the amount of fruits produced were different.
Therefore, if he could get cultivated soil, Bick would never use ordinary soil to grow crops.
Bick came to the shallows of the island from the raft. He asked the material divination compass in his hand, "Do you know where the cultivated soil is?"
As Bick asked, the needle on the compass spun rapidly. Then, when it gradually stopped spinning, it stopped at the front left of Bick.
Bick looked at the needle on the compass and walked all the way to the depths of the island. In less than ten minutes, the direction of the needle reversed.
This meant that the cultivated soil was behind him.
Turning around, Bick looked down.
The soil here looked roughly the same as the soil in other places, but after a closer look, he found that the color of this small pool of soil was darker.
"This is it!"
Bick took out the universal tool hammer, turned it into a shovel, and dug hard.
[You have obtained cultivated soil x1!]
Bick smiled. He had only dug out a small part of the black soil.
In other words, he could dig out many more portions of cultivated soil from here.
Sure enough, Bick continued to dig with shovel after shovel, and the cultivated soil he obtained increased.
[You have obtained cultivated soil x1!]
[You have obtained cultivated soil x1!]
[You have obtained cultivated soil x1!]
...
After spending five to six minutes, Bick finally finished digging up this small piece of fertile soil. He looked at his backpack. In this short period of time, he had already obtained eight portions of cultivated soil.
"Let's go back and build a miniature farm!"
Now, Bick still had a carrot seed and a strawberry seedling in his hands. He could build two more miniature farms and plant them.
Back on the raft, he started to build the mini-farms.
Half an hour later, there were two new mini-farms next to the banana seedling.
By now, the banana seedling had grown much taller in the mini-farms, almost as tall as a person.
Bick planted the strawberry seedling and carrot seeds in the two mini-farms next to them. He watered them with the nourishing watering bottle. Next, he just had to wait for them to ripen!
After he was done with these things, Bick was a little distressed.
There were more and more things on the raft, and the space to move was getting smaller.
The raft that had just been expanded, with the addition of two spear launchers and two miniature farms, the space to move was greatly reduced. Even Bick had to move around on the raft.
"I still have to build the floor!"
Bick looked at his inventory. There were not many wooden planks and hay left. If he wanted to expand the raft, he had to get a lot of wooden planks and hay!
"Let's sell things!"
Bick began to think about what to sell. As he was thinking, he heard Einstein's angry cry.
"Ou ou! Ou ou ou ou!"
Bick looked up and saw Einstein jumping around near the fishing net. He paced back and forth as if he was saying, "I was hungry all day yesterday, and you still don't give me food today!"
He slapped his forehead and remembered that he still owed Einstein a meal!
Of course, when he realized this, Bick's stomach began to growl. After all, he didn't eat much yesterday.
"Don't worry, I'll cook now!"
Bick quickly came to the side of the raft and pulled up the fishing net, harvesting eight sea fish.
He smiled at Einstein and said, "Let's eat more today. Four fish for each of us, how about that?"
Hearing that he could eat four fish today, Einstein instantly became excited and urged Bick to quickly roast them.
Bick began to process the sea fish and put the two that had been processed on the perfect grill to grill.
When the sea fish were done, the grilled fish on the grill was not fully cooked yet. He took advantage of the time and opened the trading interface of the stone tablet. He quickly hung the items that he thought he would not need for the time being.
[Cultivated soil trade hay x4]
[Cultivated soil trade hay x4]
...
[Soil trade board x2]
[Soil trade board x2]
...
[Fresh water trade board x4]
[Fresh water trade board x4]
...
Bick hung up dozens of trades in one breath before putting away the stone slab in satisfaction.
At this moment, the smell of grilled fish spread, and the grilled sea fish on the grill was thoroughly cooked.
