Chapter 25: Deviating from the Materials Direction

“Divination compass, help me find seeds on the island!”

As Bick stated his requirements, the needle on the material divination compass began to spin rapidly. Gradually, the needle stopped at a certain place.

Bick headed in that direction and came to the island to explore. As expected, he found a seed in a piece of soil.

[You have obtained wheat seed x2]

“Wheat seed?”

Seeing this notification, Bick was very excited. Wheat was a food crop, and the food produced was better for satiating hunger. Moreover, after the wheat matured, it could be made into flour, so he could make his own toast.

Bick had previously obtained a small oven schematic diagram. At that time, he did not have enough stones so he did not build it. Later on, he had enough stones, but he thought that there were no ingredients that could be cooked using an oven, so he temporarily shelved this plan.

However, now that he had obtained the wheat seed and planted it on a large-scale farm, he could start building a small-scale oven.

As long as he waited for the wheat to ripen and grind it into flour, he would be able to eat fragrant bread!

Thinking of this, Bick quickly returned to the wooden raft. He first planted the wheat seed on a large-scale farm. Then, he opened the God’s domain slate and looked up for the schematic diagram of the small-scale oven.

[Small-scale oven: Metal sheet (5/5), stone brick (0/8), charcoal (0/2), wood (4/4)]

[Level: normal]

[Explanation: An oven that can cook pasta, toast, baguette, cake, cookies. As long as the ingredients are sufficient, you can make all kinds of food.]

“Toast, baguette, cake, cookies… So tempted just by thinking about it!”

Bick shifted his gaze away from the introduction of the items and started to make stone bricks and charcoal.

In a short while, eight stone bricks and two charcoals appeared at Bick’s feet. Next, it was time to make a small oven.

As Bick started to build, a stone brick base appeared next to the two grills. Next, the top of the oven was sealed, and at the top was a metal lid.

Although the small oven looked simple, according to the introduction, it was very powerful. Almost any baked pasta could be made here.

After finishing, Bick could not help but run to the large-scale farm to take a look. He did not expect that the wheat had sprouted in such a short time. According to the speed, he estimated that he would be able to get mature wheat in ten days.

“Great, the long-term food problem has been solved!”

After staying up all night, his stomach began to growl though Bick was not tired.

“Einstein, do you want to eat something?” Bick called out to Einstein who was standing on the observation deck.

“Ou ou! Ou ou!”

Einstein actually shook his head vigorously, which was rare.

Bick frowned in confusion, thinking that this was not Einstein’s personality. Could he have discovered something?

Sensing the confusion in Bick’s heart, Einstein nodded in a certain direction, as if telling Bick that he had found something in that direction.

Bick glanced in that direction, but saw nothing except the bare sea surface. He simply climbed onto the mast and came to the observatory.

Standing at a high place, he seemed to vaguely see something floating on the sea surface, but he couldn’t see it clearly.

Taking out the telescope, Bick looked again this time and suddenly understood.

In the field of vision of the telescope, he could see everything floating on the sea surface. It was supplies. And in the midst of the scattered supplies, there were five lucky small wooden buckets.

However, judging from the direction of the drifting, this wave of resources would not pass through his raft at all.

“No way… Could it be that the resources on the sea are not drifting in the direction of the players’ raft?”

Bick was glad that he had Einstein to help him observed the situation around him. If it had not discovered that wave of resources, he would not have gained anything today.

After expanding the wooden raft and building so many things, he did not have much basic supplies left. Therefore, he had to think of a way to get close to that wave of supplies. Moreover, there were five lucky small wooden buckets!

Bick looked at the wooden paddle in his hand and shook his head.

According to the situation that he had just observed, using the wooden paddle to paddle the wooden raft to chase after that wave of supplies was probably not fast enough.

He recalled that there were other paddles in God’s domain’s slate priniple interface that could paddle faster.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly opened the principle interface in the stone tablet.

[Principle]

[Magic alloy paddle: Wooden board (2/2), metal sheet (4/4), iron nail (0/2), mana crystal (0/1)]

[Level: high-quality]

[Explanation: Faster paddle, saves energy, provides twice the original speed!]

Seeing this explanation, Bick nodded in satisfaction, but the problem was that he did not have mana crystal!

“Oh right! Let’s look at the trade interface.”

Bick had hung four trades on the trade interface yesterday, all of them were trading for mana crystal. As long as one of the trades was successful, he could first create a magic alloy paddle.

Thinking of this, Bick quickly switched to the trading interface.

Fortunately, he had actually succeeded in one transaction!

[You have succeeded in another transaction. You have obtained mana crystal x1!]

“Awesome!”

Bick excitedly took out the mana crystal and filled it into the schematic diagram for creating a magic alloy paddle. He also made two iron nails, and the materials were finally gathered.

In less than ten seconds, a shiny metal paddle appeared in Bick’s hand.

The wooden handle of the paddle was inlaid with the mana crystal. The overall weight was heavier than the wooden paddle, and the length was slightly longer.

Bick did not have time to think. He went to the side of the raft and began to row the paddle.

Logically speaking, his raft was too big. With the paddle, no matter how fast he was, it would still be difficult to increase the speed. However, he had an impatient glove, which could increase the speed.

Moreover, he found that as long as he rowed the paddle, the mana crystal embedded in the paddle would emit a weak light. Then, he felt that the paddle was moving twice as fast as his speed.

It was very magical. He had only used one portion of his strength, but he had received two times speed in return. The speed of the raft began to move toward the target at a speed he could not imagine.

Bick rowed a few times and stopped using his telescope to observe the direction. He accelerated toward the expected intersection of the supplies and the raft.

The speed of the raft became faster and faster. Gradually, at the front of the raft, the seawater that was pushed forward formed a white splash.

“Einstein, go ahead and guide me in the direction!”

Bick was worried that there would still be errors in his direction, so he gave an order to Einstein.

“Ou ou ou!”

Einstein nodded, flapped his wings, and flew toward the direction of the drifting materials, keeping himself in the middle of the materials and the raft.

“Good job, that’s it!”

Bick smiled slightly and used even more strength to charge toward the wave of materials.
