Chapter 7 - A Heavy Rainy Night

Su Bai closed the Chat and proceeded to combine the mud.

He had obtained 35 mud from the treasure chest in the afternoon and 50 mud from the trade, combining them into a total of 8 pieces of land.

Now, he had expanded the area of the island to 4 x 7.

"Hey System, check my status now!"

Looking at the information in front of him, Su Bai was quite excited. It had only been two days and he had already achieved such results.

"Eh? What's going on? How did these two attributes increase?"

At that moment, Su Bai finally noticed the changes in his strength and stamina.

"Hey System, what's going on?"

Replying to player, this is because of the changes in the fishing in the past two days. Fishing will increase the player's various attributes.

"I see. Is there a limit to the attributes that I can increase?"

Yes, fishing can only increase a small number of attributes. After reaching the upper limit, you have to find other ways to increase your attributes.

Su Bai had thought that his attributes would keep increasing. But it made sense. It was already good enough to increase his attributes by fishing, so it didn't matter how much it was added. There must be other ways to increase them in the future.

Just as Su Bai was hesitating about whether to build another thatched house, he noticed a lot of dark clouds in the sky.

"Looks like it's going to rain. I'm such a jinx!"

Su Bai looked at the dark clouds in the sky and couldn't help but complain.

Now, even if Su Bai didn't want to build a new thatched house, he had to. The current thatched house couldn't guarantee shelter from the storm.

After selecting the location, Su Bai used the blueprint.

"Hey System, build a thatched house."

Used Low-Level Blueprint: Thatch House

Materials Needed: Wooden Plank x 10, Palm Leaf x 20.

Materials fulfilled!

Space Required: 3 x 3

Have you chosen the designated location?

Crafting Thatch House

Crafting Thatch House complete!

Su Bai heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the new thatched house.

He possessed an SSS-level skill. It would be absurd for him to face the storm without a roof over his head.

Lying in the new thatched house, Su Bai opened Trade.

Since Su Bai could see the dark clouds in the sky, it meant that everyone else could.

Su Bai still had some blueprints of the thatched house, which were useless to him. He might as well trade them for materials.

Item for trade: Blueprint: Thatch House x 3. Condition: 1 Blueprint for 15 Mud.

Item for trade: Blueprint: Thatch House x 3. Condition: 1 Blueprint for 15 Wooden Planks.

After the items were up for trade, Su Bai looked at the Chat.

Su Bai typed [Hello everyone, I'm here to trade again. I'm sure you've all seen the dark clouds in the sky. It looks like it's going to rain tonight. I happen to have a few thatched house blueprints here. If you need them, please come and trade with me.]

Xu Xiangdong replied, [What? 15 wooden planks for one blueprint? You're still as scum as ever, Su Bai. Everyone, let's work together and not buy his blueprints.]

[Su Bai, you're so timely. I was just worrying about how to spend the night, and you offered your blueprint to trade.]

[Su Bai, can you lower the price? The required items are really a little precious. I've just bought drinking water, so I really can't trade with my remaining materials now.]

Xu Xiangdong sent, [Did you hear that? Su Bai, your things are too expensive, hurry up and lower the price.]

Su Bai replied, [I'm not doing charity. The conditions are already very reasonable. I knew that this could only be obtained from a Bronze Chest, and the probability of it being obtained is not high.]

Su Bai didn't say anything more. To him, they would buy if they wanted to.

Su Bai didn't care about what they thought. He didn't get these blueprints by accident.

If the others wanted to avoid being drenched by the rain tonight, they would make some sacrifices.

Su Bai no longer paid attention to their idle chatter. Especially when he saw what Xu Xiangdong wrote, Su Bai couldn't help but feel a burst of fire in his heart.

As soon as Su Bai closed the Chat, he heard the system prompt.

Trading completed! 

You've lost Blueprint: Thatch House x 3 and gained Mud x 45!

Trading completed! 

You've lost Blueprint: Thatch House x 3 and gained Wooden Plank x 45!

In the face of the upcoming storm, many people still gritted their teeth and bought these blueprints.

Su Bai had left the chat, but there were still people discussing the blueprints.

Chat

Xu Xiangdong sent, [Can't we work together? He's always taking advantage of us.]

Xu Xiangdong looked at the players' replies and was very annoyed. He had just gone to Trade and found that all the blueprints had been bought.

However, no one could be blamed for this. After all, the storm was about to come. Although these materials were relatively precious to them, no matter how precious they were, they were not as precious as their lives.

[That's easy for you to say, but I heard from my friend that you bought a bottle of water from Su Bai through him.]

Xu Xiangdong seemed to have been hit in his soft spot.

Xu Xiangdong responded, [He's slandering me. I didn't do it.]

[Whether or not you've done it, only you would know.]

[Hahaha, what a joke. You told others not to buy it, but you're buying it secretly.]

[This is the kind of person who is the most despicable. I think he's just worried that we'll finish buying everything.]

[I'm telling you, don't slander our Su Bai. No one else could provide these things other than Su Bai!"

That sentence immediately pointed out the key to the problem.

Although there would be people trading for items in Trade from time to time, the items they traded were all very ordinary.

For things like the drinking water blueprint, they had rarely seen anyone trade it before.

[I agree. Everyone should unite to boycott people like Xu Xiangdong.]

[If one day we really offended Su Bai, he would no longer sell us blueprints. Then we'll all be dead.]

[Oh no, I can already feel raindrops falling down.]

[Yes, you're right. It's raining.]

It was only now that many people regretted not buying the blueprints. Otherwise, they would have already built the thatched house and would not have to be in the rain.
