Chapter 4

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The next morning, Su Bai woke up early from hunger.

After careful consideration, Su Bai still didn’t touch the remaining half of the bread and water.

“Today is another day filled with hope!”

After stretching his muscles and bones, he started fishing again.

Treasure chest successfully opened: You’ve obtained Wooden Plank x 3!

Treasure chest successfully opened: You’ve obtained Mud x 6!

Treasure chest successfully opened: You’ve obtained Palm Leaf x 4!

Treasure chest successfully opened: You’ve obtained Silk Thread x 2!

Treasure chest successfully opened: You’ve obtained Stone x 4!

Treasure chest successfully opened: You’ve obtained Iron Ore x 1!

Treasure chest successfully opened: You’ve obtained Rare Blueprint: Seawater Desalinator x 1!

“A seawater desalinator?”

Su Bai couldn’t believe what he had just heard.

He quickly stopped fishing and looked at the blueprint.

Rare Blueprint: Seawater Desalinator

Materials Needed: Iron Ore x 10, Silk Thread x 10, Bronze Ore x 3.

Can be crafted into a Seawater Desalinator.

The materials for the seawater desalinator were a little rare. After all, Su Bai had not obtained a single bronze ore after opening so many Bronze Chests.

But Su Bai did think of another possibility. Maybe he was too unlucky to get a bronze ore.

Thinking of that, Su Bai quickly opened the Trade option.

In Trade, players can obtain all their items through trading with other players.

After opening it, Su Bai realized that he was wrong. The trading system was basically non-existent. After all, most players were still in their early stages. The resources in their hands could all be obtained through fishing, so there was no need to trade.

Helplessly, Su Bai could only open the Chat option.

Su Bai asked, [Did anyone get a bronze ore from a treasure chest?]

[Bronze? What’s that?]

[Ah? Someone had already developed so quickly? I’ve never even heard of these materials!]

[I do have a bronze ore here, but what do you want to use to trade for it?]

After thinking for a while, Su Bai realized that none of the things he got were particularly precious. The only thing he could trade was the thatched house drawing.

Su Bai replied, [I’ll trade the thatched house blueprint with you!]

[Wow! The thatched house’s blueprint! Last night, I heard the people who lived in the thatched house showing off. I didn’t expect that today, someone would start to trade the thatched house blueprint for something!]

[Before we trade, I would like to ask what materials are needed to build a thatched house.]

Su Bai replied, [The materials are simple. Wooden Plank x 10 and Palm Leaf x 20.]

[That’s all? Sure, I’m willing to trade.]

Su Bai replied, [Sure, no problem. I’ve already put up the blueprint for the trade. You can trade it with me there.]

Very quickly, that person traded the blueprint.

Trading completed!

You lost Blueprint: Thatch House x 1 and gained Bronze Ore x 1!

Looking at the bronze in his hand, Su Bai felt even more energetic. He went to the chat and continued to ask.

After an hour of hard work, Su Bai finally gathered three bronze ores.

“Hey System, craft a seawater desalinator!”

Used Rare Blueprint: Seawater Desalinator!

Materials Needed: Iron Ore x 10, Silk Thread x 10, Bronze Ore x 3.

Space Required: 1 x 1.

Crafting Seawater Desalinator…

Crafting Seawater Desalinator complete!

It was very similar to the crafting of the thatched house. As the materials flew towards the enlarged blueprint, a seawater desalinator appeared in front of Su Bai.

“Hey System, check the properties of the seawater desalinator!”

Seawater Desalinator Status

Efficiency: 15 minutes/each time

Consume: 500ml of Seawater

Produce: 500ml of Clearwater

“Hahaha! Now, I don’t have to worry about water anymore!”

After all, those three blueprints were of no value to Su Bai. He had already built a thatched house, and the extra ones were of no use.

However, the seawater desalinator was different. It could continuously produce water.

Su Bai thought at this stage of the game, no one had a way to obtain fresh water yet. Moreover, the blueprint was a rare one. He had only obtained it after opening countless Golden Chests.

“However, this is not always the case. Aren’t these bronze ores only obtained by the exceptionally fortunate?”

Su Bai suddenly realized the severity of the problem. There were always some lucky people in this world.

“Why am I so stupid? I could use the water I have to trade with them.”

After waiting for 15 minutes, the seawater desalinator produced 500ml of water.

“This game is really thoughtful. The water produced is directly stored in a bottle.”

Su Bai picked up the bottle of water and drank it without hesitation. He was very thirsty.

Gulp, gulp, gulp ~

“Cool! It felt so good! This water is as pure as it can be!”

Su Bai couldn’t help sighing after drinking the water.

Now that he had water, Su Bai no longer saved it. He finished the rest of the water in his bag.

By noon, the seawater desalinator had produced 17 bottles of water for Su Bai.

“Alright, it’s time to harvest! With all the water I have, what else can’t be traded?”

Su Bai opened the Chat option.

He typed, [Guys, I have good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?]

[The good news, of course!]

Su Bai replied, [The good news is that I have a lot of water here.]

[What’s the bad news?]

Su Bai typed, [Hehe, the bad news is that you may not be able to afford what I want.]

[Don’t keep us in suspense. Hurry up and put it up. I’m dying of thirst!]

Su Bai replied, [Alright, everyone, I’ll go put it up now!]

Su Bai knew that even selling items had to be promoted first. If he didn’t come here to chat and say these words, no one would notice that he had put drinking water up even after half a day.

Su Bai opened the Trade option and divided the water into two portions.

Item for trade: Drinking Water x 8. Condition: 1 Bottle of Water for 11 Mud.

Item for trade: Drinking Water x 8. Condition: 1 Bottle of Water for 1 Bronze Ore.

Return to Chat option.

Su Bai typed, [It’s up now. If you want to get it, hurry up!]

[Thank you, bro. I’ve already got it! I feel like I’ve been reborn.]

[What? 11 muds for a bottle of water? Why don’t you just go rob someone?]

[Huh? Why do you want mud? I used all the mud to make the land!]

[Please have mercy, bro. I’ll trade 11 wooden planks for a bottle of water!]

[Same here!]

Su Bai was not going to ignore their requests, but there was only so much water at the moment. If he wanted to use wooden planks, he would have to wait until the next wave of water was produced.

Trading completed!

You’ve lost Drinking Water x 8 and gained Bronze Ore x 8!

Trading completed!

You’ve lost Drinking Water x 8 and gained Mud x 8!

Hearing the system’s notification, Su Bai couldn’t help but smile.

The other players said that it was too expensive, but their buying speed was not slow at all. In less than a minute, they had already bought everything.
