Chapter 24 p2
Yu Chi wanted to see more of what other people speculated about her skills, but then again, in this isolated state, it was impossible to guess everything completely.
There were also many other miscellaneous posts on the forum. Besides discussing her personally, most of them were discussing what was on the island.
Oh, there were also a lot of people cursing her, but unfortunately, the forum was anonymous…
Yu Chi read a few posts speculating about the island and found that the truth had actually been pieced together quite well.
However, the only person involved was sleeping soundly and couldn’t help confirm it.
Among them, the player who often analyzed data and situations on the forum was [FiveStarSurvivor]. Yu Chi was also quite familiar with this ID.
After lazily scrolling through the forum for a while in bed, she slowly got up.
Yu Chi had returned at six in the morning. It was now about seven in the evening. She had wasted too much time sleeping, so there were still many things to do.
For example, she hadn’t used the ten chances of the All-Purpose Fishing Rod yet.
She hadn’t played [Lucky Match-3] yet either—in fact, with the spirit plants she had collected from the island, Yu Chi didn’t care much about ordinary fruits anymore.
But no matter what, the more types of fruit she obtained, the more types of fruit she could plant.
She just didn’t know when [Lucky Match-3] would move on from the fruit chapter to the second chapter.
When she first set foot on the island, the system had rewarded her with a level 5 resource chest, which she hadn’t had time to open yet.
Besides the above, Yu Chi also needed to sort out the plants she had obtained from the island. She had to plant what needed to be planted, and the rest could be auctioned off.
So many things to do. Just thinking about it gave her a headache.
Fortunately, she could do things slowly… Hmm, what she meant was, the most important thing right now was to have a full meal first!
Yu Chi excitedly took out the beast meat from her backpack.
Besides the large bird she had encountered when she first landed on the island, she had later found a few small creatures, one similar to a rabbit and one similar to a pheasant, but they were larger and their meat was tougher and more delicious.
They were all common-grade creatures. After killing a few, she was worried that she wouldn’t have enough to eat, so she caught a few more and threw them into the [Two-Sided Mirror], fencing them in with a wooden fence to be enjoyed slowly in the future.
She really, really didn’t want to eat fish meat for a while.
She had just gotten a barbecue grill a couple of days ago. She took out two small pieces of rabbit meat, washed them with clean water, and then carefully cut the meat into pieces with a metal knife—her previous metal knife had been damaged, so she had made a new one in the system crafting interface later.
The cut meat slices on the wooden board had an alluring color. Yu Chi swallowed, thinking she must be very hungry. Otherwise, why would she be craving a piece of raw meat?
She also made some wooden skewers with wood planks, skewered the cut meat slices, and sprinkled them with pepper, which was her only seasoning.
The barbecue grill was self-igniting. She just needed to press a switch to start grilling with charcoal. After waiting for a while, the iron mesh on the grill became scorching hot. She could feel the heat rushing towards her from a distance. Only then did Yu Chi carefully place the skewered meat on the preheated grill.
The moment the two touched, the meat skewers made a “sizzle” sound, and wisps of white smoke instantly rose. Oil seeped out from the meat slices. Yu Chi wiped the corner of her mouth, narrowly avoiding any moisture.
I’m really going to faint from hunger.
But no matter how hungry she was, she couldn’t rush. She turned the meat skewers with her wrist, making sure every side was heated evenly. As the grilling time passed, the color of the meat skewers finally changed, from bright red to pink, and then to a golden brown.
After that, she should have brushed a layer of cooking oil, but Yu Chi obviously couldn’t be so delicate. So she sprinkled another layer of cumin powder.
It was only when the aroma of the roasted meat filled the air that she took the meat skewers off and placed them on a plate.
After these few days of savage life, plus the fact that Yu Chi was smart, this plate of roasted meat was perfect, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Just looking at it was mouth-watering.
You’re so strong, DazedFish!
Yu Chi praised herself first. After the meat skewers had cooled down a bit, she picked one up and took a big bite.
The skin was crispy, and the inside was juicy. All kinds of flavors collided on her tongue. Yu Chi squinted her eyes in satisfaction and quickly finished the roasted meat, wishing she could lick the plate clean.
The meat itself was fresh and tender. Even without any seasoning, it was still a top-notch delicacy.
Her survival life was getting better.
…
After enjoying her meal, Yu Chi started to work.
She threw the All-Purpose Fishing Rod into the sea to pass the time. Hmm, she had pretty much figured it out. If she was lucky, she would get a bite in half an hour. If she was unlucky, it would be an hour.
Then she opened [Lucky Match-3]. This was her first rare-grade item. The items obtained from it would increase in quality as her strength increased.
After a trip to the island, she was about to level up to six. She just needed to sell a few more bandages and adhesive bandages.
She had a lot of good things now and had no need for bandages and adhesive bandages at all. She could just sell all the ones she made.
The only inconvenience was that bandages and adhesive bandages couldn’t be produced automatically. She had to make them herself. It was fine when she was free, since she was just sitting and fishing anyway. But once she got busy, she couldn’t produce them normally at all.
For example, she hadn’t produced a single one since yesterday.
Yu Chi: →_→
After clearing [Lucky Match-3], she got three immortal peaches… yes, you read that right, immortal peaches.
Yu Chi had almost forgotten that there were also fruits among the spirit plants. Now that her strength had reached this level (having the experience of obtaining spirit plants), she wouldn’t always be rewarded with ordinary fruits.
【Item: Immortal Peach
Grade: Common
Description: Extends life. Consuming one can increase Stamina by one point.】
“!!!”
Yu Chi hugged the immortal peaches and shed tears of emotion. Journey to the West did not deceive me.
What did this mean?
Although she had only obtained three immortal peaches now, she could save the pits after eating them and plant them in the [Two-Sided Mirror]. Now she only had three immortal peaches, but in the future, this would be her immortal peach grove!
As expected of her first rare-grade item, it was awesome!
Yu Chi ate all three immortal peaches on the spot. When she opened her personal panel, she found that she could actually level up to 6.
Don’t misunderstand, this shouldn’t be the EXP from the immortal peaches… Yu Chi tilted her head. Maybe the people who had bought bandages and adhesive bandages before had all used them one after another.
She clicked on “Level Up.” The system rewarded her with 4 attribute points. Yu Chi added one point each to Strength, Agility, Stamina, and Spirit. Her personal panel was as follows:
【Name: DazedFish
Player Status: Official Player
Level: 6 (1253/10000)
HP: 360 (Stamina x20)
Skills: First Aid (Excellent), Morph (Rare), Fine Forging (Common)
Stats: Strength (4→9) Agility (6→12) Stamina (5→18) Spirit (11→28) Luck (8) [Fixed]】
Yu Chi admired her attributes for a while, then checked her skills one by one, starting with the first one she had obtained, [First Aid].
【Skill: First Aid
Grade: Excellent
Description: Can produce one bandage and two adhesive bandages every 3 minutes. Bandages restore +30 HP, adhesive bandages restore +15 HP.
Can produce one First Aid Pill every three days. The First Aid Pill can instantly restore a player to full health.】
The time to produce a set of bandages and adhesive bandages had changed again, from 5 minutes yesterday to 3 minutes. Yu Chi thought that as her Spirit continued to rise, this time would probably be shortened to one minute or even a few seconds.
The second was her current offensive skill.
【Skill: Morph
Quality: Rare (Evolution interrupted, can be upgraded to Legendary)
Description: Can morph into three forms: Mermaid, Elf, and Cinnabar Finch. Limited by the master’s level, each form lasts for 3 minutes.】
The duration of each form had increased from just over 2 minutes to 3 minutes. She currently had 28 Spirit points, enough to support her continuous transformation 14 times.
Although it was a bit troublesome to keep changing back and forth, it could save her life at a critical moment.
The last one was the skill she used the least.
【Skill: Fine Forging
Grade: Common
Description: Can be crafted using mental meditation. Tools or weapons crafted will have a random attack power bonus, with an 80% success rate.】
The success rate was getting higher and higher. It probably wouldn’t be long before she had a 100% success rate. It was just that the skill level was still too low. Even if she kept using mental meditation, she couldn’t make very complex tools.
Yu Chi now wanted a defensive skill and a speed skill to satisfy her sense of security.
She could still recall the feeling of the ancient dragon passing by. Yu Chi was certain that with her current strength, she couldn’t withstand a single swipe of its tail.
She had originally thought of parking her small boat near Cold Moon Island, but now that there was a creature of that level on the island, she wished she could fly away as soon as possible.
However, after more than ten hours of sailing, the small boat was already getting farther and farther away from Cold Moon Island.
Yu Chi took out the compass from her backpack. It was still pointing to Cold Moon Island, which meant that among the islands near her small boat, Cold Moon Island was still the closest.
…
Yu Chi took out the level 5 resource chest and held it in her hand. She had gotten the Legendary grade item [Two-Sided Mirror] from the level 4 resource chest that the system had rewarded her with before.
The things in a level 5 resource chest should be even better, right?
Yu Chi blinked, her heart full of anticipation as she opened the resource chest.
【Item: Protective Shield
Grade: ?
Description: After being bound to a small boat, it can form an invisible barrier that can effectively resist various forms of attacks from the outside world. Its level is linked to the small boat’s level.】
Wow!
The protective shield in her hand was a small, square black box. Yu Chi blinked, feeling that her luck was indeed quite good.
Although the grade on the panel was a question mark, it could grow with the small boat’s level. She was now a level two wooden boat, but she wouldn’t always be a level two wooden boat.
And, she already had the materials to upgrade to level three. She could upgrade at any time now.
【Iron Ore x20, Stone x100, Wood x200, Rope x20】
These materials were very easy for her to obtain now. Even if she didn’t have them on hand, she could just post an acquisition order in her shop to get them.
Awesome. Yu Chi stretched lazily.
After she bound the protective shield to her small boat, it immediately turned into a white light and disappeared. Although Yu Chi couldn’t see any changes to the small boat, she felt an instant sense of security.
Even if the contaminated creatures attacked again at night, she wouldn’t have to stay up all night.
As for upgrading the small boat, there was no rush. She would wait until she had sorted out all the things in the [Two-Sided Mirror], and then give the small boat a major overhaul!
