Chapter 5

With anticipation, Bick pulled up the fishing net.

Along with the sound of splashing water, Bick saw a reflective object in the fishing net and a few dark green ribbons.

Eh? If it was not a fish, then what was it?

Bick reached out and took out the things in the fishing net. Only then did he see what they were.

They were actually six kelps and a glass bottle!

[You have obtained kelp x6, glass bottle x2! ]

[Kelp: Edible, but it’s best not to eat it raw!]

[Glass bottle: It can be divided into two glass bottles.]

The fishing net could actually catch such things!

As expected, items of high quality were indeed different. The low-quality grill that was built previously could even cause a fire. However, this high-quality fishing net could not only catch sea fish, but it could randomly catch items, too.

Bick was currently lacking some glass. With these glass bottles, he would have all the glass needed to make the seawater purifier.

However, the basic materials were still lacking some wooden planks.

Bick was not worried about not having wooden planks. As long as he kept an eye on the materials on the sea surface and occasionally hooked some wood, he would be able to break down enough wooden planks.

However…

Bick felt as if he smell burnt as he thought about it.

Only then did he realize that he was still grilling the sea fish!

When he turned around, he saw that the first sea fish had been grilled. He quickly took the grilled fish and changed it to a raw fish.

However, he did not start eating right away. Instead, he first lowered the fishing net into the sea before he enjoyed the grilled fish.

Eating did not delay his work. After finished eating, he would raise the net to see what he could get.

Bick discovered that the unbreakable fishing net had a hidden attribute. The longer he lowered the net, the greater the harvest. Therefore, he did not plan to raise the net before he finished eating.

After he was done with his work, he could finally enjoy the delicious grilled fish that belonged to him.

Although it was a little burnt, it was still delicious in his mouth. This low-quality small barbecue grill was still very good though there weren’t any spices.

The authentic grilled fish made Bick felt that it was even more delicious than the grilled fish he had eaten in a high-class restaurant.

After eating one grilled fish, Bick was still not satisfied. He turned over the grilled fish that was being grilled on the grill. He picked up the plastic hook and searched the sea surface for supplies.

His stomach was already full when he ate the last grilled fish.

At this time, the resources in hand were enough to create an efficient seawater purifier.

With a smile, Bick opened the slate interface.

[Principle]

[Efficient seawater purifier: metal plate (4/4), wood plate (6/6), glass (4/4)]

With all the materials available, construction began!

Bick ordered in his consciousness and in just a dozen seconds, a seawater purifier appeared beside the small barbecue grill.

On top of the seawater purifier was a glass jar. As long as seawater was poured into the pipe, fresh water would slowly flow out from the bottom.

However, Bick did not have anything to pour water into the seawater purifier…

Shaking his head, Bick opened the principle interface again and found a suitable container that could be made with the remaining wooden boards.

[Wooden cup: Wooden board (1/1)]

Manufacture!

In an instant, a wooden cup appeared in Bick’s hand. With it, Bick could obtain pure fresh water.

Bic poured the seawater into the seawater purifier’s jar using the wooden cup. Very quickly, water began to drip from the bottom of the water purifier.

Bick placed the wooden cup underneath to collect the water and found that the purification efficiency of this thing was extremely high. In just a few seconds, a layer of fresh water had accumulated at the bottom of the cup. It was estimated that in less than an hour, the entire cup could be filled with fresh water.

Bick was already a little thirsty. Now, he felt even more thirsty as he watched the drops of fresh water dripping down. However, he would not just stare at the water purifier.

Every minute and second was very important now.

Bick began to roast the kelps while waiting for the water.

Fortunately, the roasting speed of kelp was much faster than that of fish. In a few minutes, the six kelps were all roasted in about an hour.

He ate one himself. It did not taste as good as grilled fish. However, this thing also had a certain amount of vitamins, so eating it occasionally was still beneficial to his health.

At this time, the sky was completely dark. The only light source was the charcoal glow of the small barbecue grill.

Bick took out the wooden cup under the seawater purifier with the help of the faint light. It was already filled with clean water.

Bick leaned against the seawater purifier on the raft and began to enjoy the fresh and sweet water. Then he picked up the slate and prepared to look at the chat interface to see what was everyone talking about.

As expected, most of the voices were still worried about food and water. Some people used various materials to exchange for food and water but there were very few responses.

It could be imagined as Bick had an efficient sea water purifier, he had only obtained a cup of fresh water up until now. Others used ordinary purifiers, of course, they would receive even less.

As for food, other players would probably find it difficult to feed themselves. Most of the people who entered this survival competition had probably not eaten anything up until now.

With a smile, Bick opened the trading interface.

The value of food and fresh water could be traded for almost all the resources in players’ hands.

Opening the trading interface, Bick entered the transaction content.

[Trade]

[Roasted kelp trade hay x6]

[Roasted kelp trade wooden board x6]

[Roasted kelp trade wooden board x6]

[Roasted kelp trade glass x2]

[Roasted kelp trade metal x2]

Although Bick valued rare materials like glass and metal sheets more, basic materials should not be lacking if he wanted to develop.

Originally, he wanted to make a metal spear. He had enough metal sheets, but he did not have enough wooden boards and hay.

The wooden boards that he obtained later were mostly used to make small barbecue grill and seawater purifier. There were no extra wooden boards left.

Just as he was thinking about this, he suddenly received a trade notification.

[You have a successful trade. You have obtained hay x6! ]

[You have a successful trade. You have obtained wooden board x6! ]

[You have a successful trade. You have obtained wooden board x6! ]

That was fast!

Bick did not expect that just as he hung up the items, three trades for basic materials had been completed.

Now that the materials were sufficient, Bick immediately opened the principle interface and prepared to make a metal spear.

The manufacturing of weapons could not be delayed. God knows what kind of threat he would encounter tonight or tomorrow morning. At least with this thing, he would not be so passive against sharks.

[Principle]

[Metal spear: Wooden board (1/1), metal (1/1), rope (2/2)]

Bick started manufacturing. In a few seconds, a brand new sharp metal spear appeared in his hand.

[Metal spear]

[Level: inferior]

[Explanation: You can use it to stab a shark. Of course, if you encounter a giant shark, don’t try to tickle it!]

Bick was speechless after seeing such explanation.

It turned out that there were even bigger sharks in the sea. Thus, weapons had to be developed quickly!

However, it was always good to have such a spear.

Bick yawned and put out the small barbecue grill. He hugged the spear and fell asleep. He planned to collect the fishing net tomorrow morning as he would definitely reap a lot by then!
