Chapter 4: Fish Being Grilled
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
In the chat, there were people begging for food and fresh water.
However, the topic quickly focused on the situation of being attacked by sharks.
It turned out that the sharks here not only could attack players, but also attack their rafts. This forced the players to expand their rafts. Otherwise, at the rate of losing a piece of floor in one attack, after four times, the players could only fall into the water and be eaten by the sharks.
Seeing the cry for help from everyone, Bick quickly sent a message in the chat.
[Use wooden planks to make floors to build rafts!]
Seeing this notification, many messages of gratitude appeared in the chat, but Bick did not have time to read the messages of gratitude from everyone.
Because, at the edge of his raft, a shark was rapidly approaching.
“Looks like everyone’s encounters are synchronized!”
Bick’s face was dark. Facing the shark, he was still at his wit’s end.
“No! I have to create a weapon!”
Bick couldn’t care less about the shark that was getting closer and closer. He opened the principle interface.
[Principle]
[Metal spear: Wooden Board (1/1), metal sheet (1/1), rope (0/2)]
Bick was helpless. He was short of hay again. It seemed that he had to get more materials.
At this moment, the sound of water splashing entered his ears. The shark was already close to the raft. It opened its bloody mouth and took a big bite at the raft.
Kacha!
There was a crisp sound!
A piece of the raft floor was bitten off by the shark. Fortunately, the shark did not continue to entangle with it. Instead, it shook its tail and left resentfully.
Of course, the taste of the wood was definitely not that good. The one it wanted to eat was Bick!
Watching the shark gradually leave, Bick picked up the fishing net and salvaged the floor that had been broken into pieces. He only recovered two wooden planks.
However, Bick could still afford this loss. The most important thing was that he had to get more supplies!
With the remaining materials, Bick repaired his raft first. Now, there were not many materials left.
Fortunately, there were still some survival supplies on the sea surface, so Bick decided to salvage a small amount of supplies while lowering the fishing net into the water. He planned to fish up some fish as food first.
If he was lucky, he would be able to collect enough materials in an hour or two to make a small grill, and then he could fill his stomach with grilled fish.
With this thought in mind, Bick had already sent the unbreakable fishing net into the sea, and he used a plastic hook to pick up the pitiful survival supplies on the surface of the sea.
A piece of wood, a grass ball, a piece of wood…
Bick patiently picked up the small amount of supplies on the sea, feeling more and more thirsty and hungry.
Seeing that the required materials were still lacking, he decided to stop first, ate an orange and replenished some water for his body.
Bick took out the orange and carefully peeled it, revealing the fresh and tender flesh.
In this time of global famine, being able to eat this kind of thing was definitely a luxury. While enjoying the orange, Bick took a look at the flagstone chat interface.
Although the crisis of the last wave of sharks had passed, everyone’s mood was obviously not any better.
Because the most critical problem of food and fresh water, people had not solved it yet. Bick still had at least one orange to eat. Although one orange was far from enough to fill their stomachs, he did not lack too many materials. As long as he fished for some materials, he could make a small barbecue.
And now everyone was thirst for food. As long as he fished out some more fish, he could hang it on the trading interface and sell it. At that time, whatever materials he needed would not be a problem.
It would be very easy to trade for the materials needed to make the water purifier.
The time it took to eat an orange was very short. Bick was a little reluctant, but he still chose to keep the other orange first.
After all, it was a treasure used to provide vitamins for himself. He would need some time to eat it.
Now, he could continue to work!
Bick picked up the plastic hook and started a new round of material harvesting. After less than half an hour, he got the wood he needed.
Apart from that, he also got a small amount of other materials.
After counting the materials he had, the sun was about to set. Bick looked at the setting sun that was gradually setting on the surface of the sea, but his mood was exceptionally happy.
Now, to build a barbecue, it was time to prepare a proper dinner!
Opening the principle interface, Bick first used three wooden boards to make a charcoal.
In the principle interface, the materials for the small-scale barbecue were sufficient.
[Small-scale barbecue: Metal sheet (1/1), wooden planks (4/4), charcoal (1/1)]
Bick smiled slightly and started to make.
Ten seconds later, in the middle of the small wooden raft, a small-scale barbecue with a red charcoal fire appeared. Although it was not exquisite, it looked particularly pleasing in such a bleak situation.
[Small barbecue grill]
[Level: inferior]
[Explanation: An undurable barbecue grill can only grill one portion of food at a time, and it takes a long time to grill food. If the charcoal flame is not extinguished in time after use, there is a risk of causing a fire. However, igniting and extinguishing the charcoal flame will not consume any resources.]
Seeing the explanation of such an item, Bick coughed awkwardly and sighed, “Is there a need for me to make a fire extinguisher…”
Of course, he wasn’t in the mood to think about such trivial matters.
An orange was quickly digested in his stomach. Bick touched his stomach. He was hungrier than before, so he decided to pull back the net and see if there were any fish.
Coming to the place where the fishing net was set up, Bick pulled hard and found that the weight of the fishing net had changed, and it seemed to be heavier.
Then, he looked at the fishing net that was exposed to the water. There were three small, slender, and long fish.
“Great!”
“Three fish!”
“It’s enough to fill my stomach!”
Initially, Bick only hoped that there would be something in the fishing net. He did not expect that there would be three fish in the net.
He quickly cleaned up one fish and placed it on the small grill.
The heat from the charcoal fire began to dehydrate the fish. When Bick was handling the other two fish, he could already smell a faint fragrance.
It smelled delicious!
Patiently, Bick turned the grilled fish over and let it heat evenly until it was thoroughly cooked.
The two fish in his hands were also quickly cleaned. Bick could not help but want to pull up the fishing net to see if there was any harvest.
Anyway, the grilled fish wasn’t fully cooked yet, so he quickly walked to the fishing net and pulled it up.
“Eh? The weight is even heavier this time!”
Bick was a little surprised. Judging from the weight, if it was a small sea fish, there should be at least five or six of them!
