“Potatoes really make us sated!”

After a full meal, Bick touched his slightly bulging stomach and revealed a satisfied smile.

While resting after the meal, he opened the chat interface on the slate to see what news there was for today.

[Chat]

[I met pirates who robbed me. They formed a group and took away all my resources. How am I supposed to live? How am I supposed to live?!]

[I also met some pirates. They were robbing other people. When I saw them, I quickly paddled the raft and escaped. That was how I narrowly escaped the calamity.]

[Then everyone must be careful!]

[I’m too poor. The pirates probably didn’t have anything to rob when they saw me. Now, I only rely on a fishing rod to live.]



When he saw these news, Bick felt somewhat sympathetic for these people’s sufferings.

They had just entered this large-scale survival game, so a group of players should had been eliminated because they did not know how to survive due to the lack of resources.

Now, some players had survived with great difficulty, but they had to face the pirates that could appear at any moment. This was simply asking for death!

Of course, Bick was not worried about the problems that the others were worried about because even if he encountered a small wave of pirates, they could only choose to retreat when faced with his two spear launchers.

If the other party chose to attack forcefully, he didn’t mind shooting all of the dregs into the sea.

When that time came, he wouldn’t waste any of their resources!

Bick wouldn’t rob others, but when he encountered pirates, he wouldn’t be merciful and would take the resources they accumulated as his own. That was to represent justice and eliminate evil!

After resting for a short while, Bick got up from the floor and was about to start working.

He had just obtained the perfect furnace schematics, and now he could build them.

He opened the slate principle interface.

Bick saw how to build the perfect furnace.

[Perfect furnace: Wood (2/2), sheet metal (6/6), charcoal (0/2), stone bricks (0/6), iron nails (0/4)]

“There are so many things that need to be prepared!”

To build the perfect stone slab schematics, charcoal, stone bricks, and iron nails were needed. And these things needed to be made on the spot.

Bick first made these things in corresponding quantities. Bick found that his speed was much faster than before by wearing the pair of impatient gloves.

After all the materials were ready, Bick filled them all into the schematics.

After about five minutes, a furnace base that was burning with charcoal appeared. Less than a minute later, the top of the furnace had been sealed, and there was a mold slot on the side that allowed metal to flow out. It was almost completed at the same time.

Based on Bick’s experience, it would take at least half an hour to create such a large-scale object. However, this time it only took less than 15 minutes.

“What an impatient pair of gloves!”

With this pair of gloves, the amount of work that Bick could do in 24 hours was equivalent to the work of other players for 48 hours. This was not even counting the fact that he was already more efficient than most players.

Looking at the perfect furnace made of stone bricks in front of him, Bick could not wait to take out the metal ores he had collected.

There were a total of 18 metal ores. According to the smelting requirements of the perfect furnace, three metal ores could be smelted once, and one metal ingot could be produced.

“In other words, 18 metal ores can only be smelted into six metal ingots?”

Bick was a little speechless. This output was really not satisfactory. What could six metal ingots do?

Although Bick ridiculed in his heart, he still followed the instructions of the smelting furnace and threw three metal ores into it.

Almost at the same time, he saw the flames in the smelting furnace suddenly rise. The blazing temperature had already begun to melt the metal ores.

Although the smelting speed was relatively slow, the progress was still visible to the naked eye.

Moreover, Bick suddenly discovered that the perfect smelting furnace had another use, which was to be used as a fire furnace. As long as he stayed beside the smelting furnace, he would feel a continuous heat wave rushing towards him.

“Smelting metal ores at night, it’s not bad for warming!”

Bick smiled leisurely and opened the remote interface in the slate, intending to take a good look at what metal ingots could make.

Just as he checked a few contents, he saw a familiar item.

[Anchor: Metal ingot (0/1), grass rope (0/8), iron nails (0/2), wood board (4/4)]

[Grade: low quality]

[Explanation: A stable anchor, but it’s troublesome to pull and lower it. In addition, it’s not strong enough.]

Looking at this explanation, Bick raised his eyebrows.

Although this thing didn’t seem very reliable, as long as he was careful when using it, it shouldn’t break. At most, he could unlock a better anchor in the future and build a new one.

Now, he had to have an anchor for temporary use.

Thinking of this, he began to prepare grass ropes and iron nails. As for the metal ingots, they would naturally be refined in a while.

Bick put on his impatient gloves and made eight grass ropes and two iron nails in less than five minutes. At this time, the metal ingots had not been refined yet.

After a moment, Bick always felt that there was some chaos on the raft.

As he stored more and more materials, the space they occupied on the raft grew larger and larger. Of course, the main reason was that it was too chaotic.

He had to think of a way to organize it.

“Why not build a storage box!”

Bick had seen this thing in the principle interface before. He did not build it because he thought it was not very useful, but now that he had too many things, it would be safer to keep them.

As he was thinking, Bick opened the far away interface and found the manufacturing principle of the storage box.

[Storage box: Wood (4/4), metal (2/2), iron nails (0/2)]

[Level: normal]

[Explanation: With 20 storage boxes, you can put a lot of things, but you have to be careful of fire!]

He casually glanced at the explanation, but Bick didn’t care. How powerful could a normal storage box be?

He first built the needed iron nails, then chose a suitable place on the raft and began to build the storage box.

A moment later, a large wooden box that was half the height of a man appeared in front of him.

He opened the large wooden box and there were 20 empty lattices inside.

He stuffed all the materials on the raft into the storage box, and it automatically stacked up. Just like a wooden backpack, each lattice could hold 20 materials.

In other words, this storage box could hold 400 materials!

“That’s enough!”

At least, this storage box was enough for the early stage. Moreover, not only did it save space on the raft, but it also brought more convenience to access things.

On the other side, just as he stuffed all the items into the storage box, he heard a plop behind him.

He looked back and saw the furnace mold flipped and a silver metal ingot fell out.
