Chapter 14 - Useful, but Not Very Useful

After so many days of fishing, the rare materials obtained by everyone were different, and this was undoubtedly related to luck.

Although the sudden appearance of Luck + 2 was something invisible and untouchable, it was difficult to test whether it was effective.

Treasure chest successfully opened: You've obtained Wooden Plank x 8!

As the first treasure chest was opened successfully, the luck attribute still brought about some benefits. Previously, opening a treasure chest yielded three to six, and occasionally seven, wooden planks. However, it was the first time Su Bai could obtain eight wooden planks in a go.

"This is the best item I ever had, more effective than having an extra fishing rod."

After a good start, Su Bai was even more motivated.

Even at noon, he only ate a piece of bread and drank a bottle of water before starting to fish again. He did not rest at all.

The heavens didn't go as he wished. This luck was real, but the direction of his luck seemed to be a little off.

The materials obtained from the treasure chests were not much different from before. The only difference was that the number of rare blueprints had increased by quite a bit. However, he had not seen a single one throughout the day.

It seemed that after obtaining a few rare blueprints a few days ago, he had used up all his luck. Even with the bonus of luck, it was useless.

The evening came quickly. Su Bai decided to build the stone house first, based on the materials he had in his bag.

"Hey System, build the stone house!"

Used Rare Blueprint: Stone House!

Materials Needed: Stone x 200, Wooden Plank x 500, Dried Leaf x 100, Drinking Water x 50, Thatch House x 1. 

Materials fulfilled.

Crafting Stone House…

Crafting Stone House complete!

The construction of the stone house was different from that of the thatched house. It was equivalent to an upgrade on the foundation of the thatched house.

The thatched house suddenly became transparent, and the blueprint in Su Bai's hand flew toward the transparent thatched house. As the blueprint fused with the thatched house, it turned into a stone house.

The materials he needed just now also flew towards the transparent stone house one by one, and in the process of flying, they changed into the shape of the corresponding position.

After the smoke dispersed, a new stone house appeared in front of Su Bai. He looked at it and walked in curiously.

Compared to the previous thatched house, the space was much larger, and there was a simple wooden bed inside. On the bed, there was even a mattress made of hay.

Su Bai tried lying on it and he felt comfortable. It was much better than sleeping on wooden planks.

Looking around the room, there was an additional table and chair. Even the walls had two wooden windows.

"Not bad, these materials are worth it."

Su Bai's words fully displayed his wealth.

Other people might not even have been able to gather all these materials in a month, but Su Bai had managed to gather them in five days.

With this stone house, he would have more confidence in facing the storm that was coming in a few days.

However, the seawater desalinator's production rate was fixed, after all. Now, he needed to find a way to strengthen his own strength.

After searching in his Bag, Su Bai decided to get rid of all the thatched house's blueprints. The thatched house was useless to him now, so he might as well exchange it for some materials needed for normal fishing rods.

By the looks of the current situation, the normal fishing rod's blueprints had not appeared yet.

However, there was always a time when one needed to gather the materials for a normal fishing rod before anyone could react.

Su Bai opened the Trade page.

Item for trade: Drinking Water x 50. Condition: 1 Bottle of Water for 12 Wooden Planks.

Item for trade: Drinking Water x 50. Condition: 1 Bottle of Water for 12 Silk Threads.

There were more things Su Bai needed this time, and time was tight. After putting them up for trade, Su Bai opened the Chat page.

Su Bai sent, [Urgent, need help. I've put up a batch of drinking water, bread, and thatched house blueprints. If anyone had wooden planks and silk threads. Please trade with me quickly.]

[What? Even Su Bai would lack resources?!]

[Open your eyes and take a good look. Su Bai put up a hundred bottles of drinking water, a hundred pieces of bread, and sixty blueprints of the thatched house.]

[I was too impetuous. These resources are things that I can only dream of but can't get, but now they're like low-level items being taken out by Su Bai.]

[But what are these things for? Why do you need so much?]

[You don't have to care what Su Bai is using it for. The water and bread are real anyway.]

[You're right. The cost of the items is inflating. Only Su Bai's items are still a little cheaper than others.]

Su Bai couldn't help but be stunned. This time, he was selling at a higher price than before, but he didn't expect it to be lower than others.

Xu Xiangdong sent, [Strictly boycott Su Bai's situation. Whenever he needs something, he takes us like little sheep and lets us be slaughtered.]

[You better shut up. When we can't even keep food and clothing, what are these materials?

[Why are you always against Su Bai yet you are the one who asks someone else to buy things from Su Bai for yourself?]

Now, everyone felt disgusted when they saw Xu Xiangdong's replies. Unfortunately, even if Su Bai blocked Xu Xiangdong, he couldn't block his replies.

Xu Xiangdong commented, [You guys are really short-sighted. You only see the solution to your current problem in front of you. You don't think about the future. I won't say much, you can slowly comprehend it on your own.]

Su Bai closed the Chat page.

Now Su Bai really didn't want to read another word anymore. If he read any longer, Su Bai was worried that he would be so angry that he couldn't sleep tonight.

Su Bai really wanted to give Xu Xiangdong a good scolding, but the image he had established now did not allow him to do so.

Another three days had passed, and today was already the eighth day since they had arrived.

Su Bai was like a machine, repeating the same actions every day.

As usual, before looking at the rare blueprint, he bowed in worship before slowly opening his Bag.
