【Yewang】: Big Sister, I have a set of iron nails here, 10 pieces. I'll trade them for one bottle of water. I've already sent the trade request, just click accept!
【High-Calcium Milk】: Crow! I'll trade you for some heat-shielding material. One for one bottle of water. You have so much water, be a little cheaper for me~
【Lantern Light】: Big Sister, Big Sister, you already have so much water, please give me one bottle. I'm dying of thirst! Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda! You have the heart of a Bodhisattva! Please, have some mercy!
【Hey Siri】: Five iron blocks. One bottle of water. Click to accept.
...
Messages like these were countless.
Cheng Shuili frowned, suddenly realizing that trading was also a troublesome matter.
Those deliberately low-balling mixed with those begging...
It would take a huge amount of time to sort through them all.
How could Cheng Shuili have the energy for that? She thought for a moment and directly tapped on Liang Shanbo's private message window.
【Angry Crow Takes Flight】: Do me a favor.
【Liang Shanbo vs. Pig】: !!
【Liang Shanbo vs. Pig】: Big Sister, just say the word! I've felt so guilty about that bowl of porridge you gave me last time. I haven't done anything to deserve it, and I've been feeling uneasy about taking it for days!
【Liang Shanbo vs. Pig】: Tell me quickly! I will definitely help!
So proactive?
Cheng Shuili was silent for a moment before sending the drafted message.
【Angry Crow Takes Flight】: I want to trade mineral water for some basic materials: iron blocks, iron nails, insulation material, heat-shielding material, plastic, and rubber. It's best to trade one bottle for a set. A set is 5 iron blocks, 10 iron nails, 2 units of insulation material or heat-shielding material, 4 plastic, or 2 rubber.
"You have gifted the player 【Liang Shanbo vs. Pig】: 500ml mineral water x 250 bottles."
Cheng Shuili was worried they wouldn't understand, so she explained it in great detail, while keeping 20 bottles for her own reserves.
This price was based on what she had observed on the trading channel over the past few days; it was definitely a fair deal!
Anyone genuinely wanting to trade would have no objections.
【Liang Shanbo vs. Pig】: Understood, Big Sister! I guarantee I'll finish the task!
Cheng Shuili chuckled. This sweet, naive person didn't even ask for a reward. It was fortunate they met a good person like her; otherwise, they might have been scammed out of everything.
Cheng Shuili cleared all unread messages and sent a new message in the regional channel.
【Angry Crow Takes Flight】: Mineral water trade is finished. If I haven't replied to you, don't wait.
【Lucifer's Beloved】: Ah! Big Sister didn't even look at my offer.
【Yewang】: Why are you howling upstairs! Big Sister didn't even look at mine, I'm devastated!
【Jiang Jiang】: Is this the appeal of a top player!
Cheng Shuili didn't read any further; she was in a hurry to install the bathroom.
After processing the mineral water, a large space suddenly opened up inside the cabin.
Her first weapon, that metal pipe, was lying quietly on the floor.
Cheng Shuili ignored it, focusing on where to place the bathroom.
The refrigerator and heating stove would stay where they were.
Cheng Shuili ultimately decided to install the bathroom across from the sofa. This area was originally where the sink was, and Cheng Shuili discovered that the bathroom would merge with the sink if installed there.
She chose the luxury configuration, and a frosted glass room instantly appeared.
Cheng Shuili pushed open the glass door and entered the bathroom. The first thing that caught her eye was the anti-slip stone flooring, which was completely different from the rest of the cabin.
No way?
Cheng Shuili looked at the warm lighting, the high-end appearance, and even the smart toilet installed in the bathroom!
Then she looked at the inferior white flooring that came with the cabin.
Very well, this bathroom was completely out of place with her cabin.
It was simply too nice!
Cheng Shuili loved things that were far beyond what her current status should afford.
Just as this was settled, Wan Yi sent over lunch.
A steaming bowl of hot dry noodles appeared in front of Cheng Shuili, landing right on the sink counter.
Cheng Shuili didn't mind. She washed her hands gracefully, pulled out a tissue to wipe them dry, and carried the disposable container of hot dry noodles outside.
She had considered trading for a ceramic bowl.
But thinking about what the previous owner might have used it for, she dismissed the idea.
Cheng Shuili sat down on the sofa and mixed the noodles thoroughly.
The golden alkaline noodles were shiny and oily. After mixing, the sesame paste coated every strand, dotted with savory, brownish-red minced meat sauce.
The crisp white of minced garlic, the orange-yellow of spicy radish, and the vibrant green of chopped scallions were layered together.
This bowl of food was truly a feast for the eyes, nose, and palate!
Cheng Shuili finished the bowl at lightning speed. While it was still technically lunchtime, she quickly went through the leaderboard rewards; just leaving them there without looking made her itch with curiosity!
The wealth leaderboard gave 100 game coins, and the mileage leaderboard also gave 100 game coins. Cheng Shuili now had a total of 242 game coins!
Finally, there was...
Cheng Shuili's gaze landed on a sturdy, flat table. The redwood tabletop was connected to a pegboard, neatly arranged with various tools, and there was a stack of blank paper and a black ballpoint pen on the surface.
Cheng Shuili selected an empty spot in the cabin and chose to place the workstation.
After the workstation was set up, Cheng Shuili leaned in, unable to wait. The redwood surface felt smooth and warm to the touch, much higher quality than she had imagined.
The tools hanging on the pegboard were numerous, ranging from basic screwdrivers to precision tweezers, along with several special tools she couldn't even name.
"So many tools... surely I'm not expected to make things myself?"
Cheng Shuili muttered to herself. As her fingers brushed the edge of the table, she suddenly noticed a line of small text engraved in the bottom right corner: 【Production requires blueprints. Check the user manual in the drawer for details.】
Cheng Shuili immediately pulled open the drawer under the workstation, where a user manual was lying quietly.
Cheng Shuili flipped to the first page, and several striking red lines caught her eye:
【Note: Production requires blueprints! Blueprints can be used infinitely once acquired!】
【Note: No matter what happens during production, you cannot leave the workstation. Please choose a safe time to craft!】
【Note: The workstation can be upgraded!】
【Current workstation level: lv1】
【Materials required for level 2 upgrade: Heart of Creation x1, iron block x15, iron nail x20, insulation material x6, heat-shielding material x2, plastic x18, rubber x6.】
【Current blueprints owned: Basic Water Condensation Device!】
Cheng Shuili read every point carefully. Once she was sure she had memorized them, she closed the manual.
Her slender fingers tapped lightly on the redwood table.
Cheng Shuili cleared her thoughts to the rhythm of her tapping.
The materials for the upgrade were all basic, but this Heart of Creation didn't sound like anything common.
She opened the trading channel and quickly searched for the keyword "Heart of Creation," but the results were completely blank.
No one in the regional channel had mentioned this item either.
Sigh, ahead of the curve again.
Cheng Shuili found a bit of humor in her predicament, chuckled, and turned to look at her only blueprint.
【Basic Water Condensation Device Blueprint】
【Effect: Produces one liter of pure water daily】
【Production materials: plastic x4, rubber x2, iron block x2】
Cheng Shuili's eyes lit up. Although the yield wasn't high, it was sustainable! Who would refuse an extra liter of water every day for doing nothing?
Rate on N.U.
