Chapter 11: Landing
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Until now, this was the first time Bick had seen land in this survival game. Although it was just a small island, the resources on it could be seen with the naked eye.
Trees, rocks, soil, grass balls. This was much more convenient than hooking up supplies from the ocean.
Moreover, the amount of resources on this island was equivalent to at least three waves of resources at the sea.
“No wonder I didn’t get any small wooden bucket today. There’s an island waiting for me to explore. There should be a lot of rare resources here!”
Bick was getting more and more excited as he saw the island was getting closer and closer to him.
But gradually, he found that the direction of his raft seemed to be off. If this deviation continued, he would probably miss the island.
“No, I have to make a wooden paddle!”
Bick quickly opened the principle interface and saw the method of making a wooden paddle.
[Principle]
[Paddle: Wooden board (3/3), grass rope (0/1)]
This was simple. He had to make a grass rope first!
A grass rope appeared in his hand while Bick was thinking. Then, he quickly filled the grass rope into the schematic diagram of the wooden paddle.
Only a few seconds later, a wooden paddle over a meter long appeared in Bick’s hands.
[Wooden paddle]
[Level: normal ]
[Explanation: It requires some strength, so don’t use it when you’re hungry. Your will be exhausted quickly. ]
This kind of introduction made people speechless.
Bick wouldn’t care much. He grabbed the wooden paddle and came to the side of the raft. He paddled, trying to correct the direction of the raft.
The effect was obvious. The raft floated towards the island again, but there was a price to pay. In just a short while, Bick was so tired that his forehead was covered in sweat.
After drinking a cup of fresh water, Bick felt much more relaxed.
However, he still had to redirect the course of the raft from time to time.
“I think it’s necessary to get a higher-grade paddle in the future. At least a high-grade paddle. If it’s an epic-grade paddle, that’s even better. Maybe it’ll be a paddle that can paddle on its own.”
Bick didn’t delay at all as the thought popped up in his mind.
In about half an hour, the whole island appeared in front of Bick’s eyes.
This island was about a few hundred square meters. It wasn’t big, but there were dozens of trees on this small island.
On its shore, there were some rocks.
Rocks were almost impossible to get on the sea. Only a few pieces could be found in the small wooden bucket.
“Great, I can make a small oven with rocks!”
While he was excited, he suddenly thought of a problem. His raft didn’t have an anchor. What if the raft docked and was pushed away by the waves.
Previously, he had studied the principle interface. Metal ingots were needed in anchor production, and he didn’t have the metal ore needed to make metal ingots.
Therefore, he didn’t need to think about an anchor for the time being.
However… he could use ropes to tie the raft to the shore!
Bick admired his intelligence and wisdom and made three straw ropes.
One straw rope was one meter long, and three straw ropes would be three meters long. He had to tie the raft to a big tree on the shore so that the raft would not drift away.
He looked up and saw that the island was already within easy reach.
He still had to prepare some important things before he went ashore.
“A wooden backpack should be useful now!”
Bick had seen a wooden backpack in the principle interface before. At that time, he felt that it was not very useful, so he did not build it.
But now, Bick had to go to the island and get many resources. He could not move them to the raft one trip at a time. Having a backpack would definitely save a lot of time and effort.
Opening the principle interface, Bick quickly found the manufacturing principle of the wooden backpack.
[Wooden backpack: Wooden board (3/3), plastic sheet (1/1), grass rope (3/3)]
He did not expect that the grass rope which he had just made would be used up in advance. Bick naturally did not regret using those three ropes now as he could make new ones later.
Making a wooden backpack!
After more than ten seconds, a wooden backpack appeared in Bick’s hand.
[Wooden backpack]
[Level: low quality]
[Explanation: A practical backpack, but it’s too hard and uncomfortable to carry. There are nine compartments, and each compartment can hold up to 50 items of the same type, or one finished item. In addition, it has another advantage. No matter how many items are inside, the weight doesn’t change!]
Bick nodded and said to himself, “In other words, if it’s wooden boards, one compartment can hold 50 items, but if it’s something other than materials, one compartment can only hold one item.”
Although Bick was not very satisfied with this capacity, it was enough for now.
Moreover, the constant weight was too important. Otherwise, if he were to carry fifty stones on his back, wouldn’t it too heavy?
“Let’s put something in first.”
Bick stuffed the universal tool hammer at his waist into his backpack. He felt that the weight did not change at all. He looked around and remembered that he might use fresh water, so he stuffed the plastic jar filled with fresh water into his backpack.
In this way, he freed his hands and felt that it was much easier to move.
Bang!
There was a slight collision.
Bick looked up and saw that the raft had already hit a rock on the shore. He could go ashore now!
He quickly made three more straw ropes and tied them together. One end was tied to the raft while the other was held by him. He jumped onto the shore and prepared to tie it to a strong tree.
Turning around, he looked at Einstein. “First Mate Einstein, let’s go and take all the supplies on the island!”
Einstein tried his best to raise his wings and made a gesture that was similar to a salute. He followed Bick and swayed toward the shore of the island. Then, he used all his strength and jumped over just like Bick.
Seeing that Einstein had successfully landed on the shore, Bick gave an order.
“First Mate Einstein, I order you to patrol the island. If you encounter any danger or other intruders, inform me immediately!”
“Ou ou!”
Einstein nodded, flapped his wings and flew up. He circled the small island and observed the situation around the island vigilantly.
At this time, Bick had tied the other end of the grass rope to the trunk of a big tree and was ready to start collecting supplies.
“Let’s start from the bottom!”
Bick walked along the coast and picked up the grass balls on the ground. He also broke them into pieces of dry grass and stuffed them into his wooden backpack. After a few steps, he met the first supplies that tools were needed, it was a big tree that was as tall as two people.
“Hehe, the universal tool hammer has come in handy!”
