Chapter 2: Lucky Small Wooden Bucket Prize
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
A thought came to Bick.
Driven by his mind, a one-meter-long fishing net appeared in his hand.
This fishing net seemed to be of good quality. It was heavy and the surface of the net was very large and deep.
[Unbreakable fishing net]
[Level: High quality]
[Explanation: As long as you put the fishing net into the water, you might be able to harvest delicious sea fish later. Don’t worry about this thing being chewed up by the fish because it’s too strong!]
Bick nodded while looking at the fishing net introduction.
“With this fishing net, at least I don’t have to worry about food. Moreover, if the fish I catch can’t be eaten, I can throw it into the trade interface to exchange for other resources.”
He was sure that even if everyone already understood the way to survive in this game, food would still be a scarce resource for a period of time!
Those players who could not get food and fresh water would die in a few days. In order to exchange for precious food and fresh water, they could use all their resources to trade.
This opportunity to harvest resources must be firmly grasped by Bick!
At this moment, the ocean resources not far away were approaching. Bick hurriedly put down the fishing net and prepared to use the plastic hook to retrieve this wave of resources.
But he suddenly smacked his forehead and laughed!
“What’s with the plastic hook? Isn’t the unbreakable fishing net more useful?”
The plastic hook could picked up resources that was at a distance of about ten meters. Although the fishing net could only pick up about two meters of resources, the fishing efficiency was obviously higher.
He could first use the fishing net to salvage those easily picked up resources to the raft, and then use the plastic hook to pick up the remaining resources. The overall efficiency would be higher this way.
Bick started working as he thought about this!
The materials on the sea surface were getting closer and closer. Bick could see clearly that they were mostly wood, plastic bottles, and grass balls.
Wood could be directly decomposed into wooden boards, plastic bottles could be directly decomposed into plastic sheets and grass balls could be directly decomposed into hay.
These were all basic materials but they were very important for the initial stage of development.
Wait!
Bick suddenly realized that there was a small wooden bucket mixed in the materials.
Since there was already wood, why would there materials like small wooden buckets?
At this time, Bick had no time to think because the materials in front of him had already entered the range that the fishing net could reach.
He used the fishing net to swing hard, directly trapping two grass balls and a piece of wood!
With a pull, he poured the materials onto the small raft.
“This is awesome! This thing is too efficient!”
When Bick used the fishing net to fish for materials, other players could only use plastic hooks to fish for materials one after another. Not only did they need a longer time, they might not even be able to hook accurately. The success rate was too low.
The time that other players used the plastic hook to hook one material was enough for Bick to fish five or six materials using the fishing net.
Five or six times the speed was an advantage that could not be ignored!
In just a short while, Bick had salvaged a lot of wood, grass balls, and plastic bottles. The round wooden barrel was getting closer and closer with the seawater.
Bick shook his head. The wooden barrel should be quite heavy. If he used the plastic hook to pull it over, it would be difficult.
Fortunately, he had a fishing net!
When the small wooden bucket floated near the raft, Bick dropped the net and easily pulled it to the side of the raft.
He lifted the wooden bucket onto the raft and opened the lid.
[You have opened the lucky wooden bucket!]
[You have obtained wood x 4!]
[You have obtained plastic x 2!]
[You have obtained the schematic diagram of an efficient seawater purifier!]
“Schematic diagram?”
Bick did not expect that there was such a good thing in this small wooden bucket. No wonder it was called the lucky wooden bucket. It was like opening a twisting eggs lottery!
After obtaining the schematic diagram, Bick did not hesitate to open the interface of the stone tablet.
Sure enough, there was an additional method to create an efficient seawater purifier in the schematic interface.
[Schematic]
[Efficient seawater purifier: Metal plate (0/4), wood (4/6) , glass (0/4)]
[Remarks: Efficiency of an efficient seawater purifier is extremely high. It is several times faster than an ordinary purifier. It can fully satisfy your drinking water needs. You can have enough drink.]
Bick was a little worried. Although this water purifier was not bad, the thorny problem was that he did not have metal plate and glass. How could he get these two materials now?
While he was thinking, Bick had already opened the chat interface to see if other people had these two materials to exchange.
[Chat]
[Did you hook any materials? This hook is too difficult to use. I can’t hook anything. What should I do? What should I do?]
[It’s really too difficult. Other than picking up some materials that floated to the side of the raft, the hook hooked a grass ball. Who can help me?]
[Hook as many as you can. Try to hook as many as you can. Don’t waste time chatting!]
…
Obviously, the biggest problem with using the hook to pick up materials was that the hit rate was too low. Many players could not even pick up an item. If they missed this wave of materials, they could only wait for the next wave of materials to arrive.
Under such circumstances, the materials that other players obtained were better than nothing. What good items could he trade here?
After a quick glance, Bick came to a conclusion.
The probability of others obtaining the items that he did not obtain was even lower. Instead of paying attention to the chat interface, it was better to quickly collect the items around him.
After putting away the stone slab, Bick looked at the items that he had yet to collect on the surface of the sea. He tightened his grip on the fishing net and continued to salvage.
In the short moment of hesitation just now, some of the items had already drifted away from Bick’s small wooden raft, reaching a distance that could not be salvaged.
Fortunately, his efficiency was high enough.
With the combination of fishing net and plastic hook, he had easily salvaged a lot of materials. Moreover, in these few salvages, he had obtained two cans!
[Cans: Can be divided into two pieces of metal.]
Seeing such an introduction, Bick clenched his fists in joy. He was even more motivated.
With these two cans, the only thing that was lacking in making an efficient seawater purifier was glass!
At this moment, he already felt a little thirsty and a slight hunger in his stomach. However, it was not a problem for him to persist for a few more hours.
Food was easy to solve. As long as he could get four glass shards, he would not have to endure the torture of thirst.
He quickly salvaged the supplies and was extremely busy. What made him even more excited was that not far away, four small wooden buckets floated over.
“Lucky twist!”
Bick felt that this name was more appropriate!
Among the various materials on the sea surface, these lucky small wooden buckets were the most precious. He might be able to get some glass from the small wooden buckets this round!
Thinking of this, Bick quickly lowered down the net. Three wooden buckets that were relatively close were salvaged by him one after another. The last one was relatively far away, but it was pulled nearer with the plastic hook. It was also salvaged by Bick at one go!
Now, it was time to start the lottery!
