Chapter 5

Looking at the 88 pieces of mud in his hand, Su Bai did not hesitate and directly combined them all into land blocks.

The newly built seawater desalinator made the already narrow space even more narrow. This time, the island’s area had increased a lot. It was now 4 x 5, which was a lot more spacious.

Even though Su Bai had already obtained a lot of resources, he did not stop what he was doing and continued to fish persistently.

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

“As expected, I can get water and bread. It’s just that I was too unlucky before.” Su Bai said while looking at the bread in his hand.

With this piece of bread, Su Bai didn’t have to worry anymore. His stomach was growling when he was worried that he had finished all the bread.

Su Bai just sat on the ground, eating bread and drinking water.

While he was drinking, Su Bai saw something swimming in the water from the corner of his eye.

“It can’t be a fish, right?” Su Bai couldn’t believe his eyes.

‘If there were really fish here, why didn’t I see a single fish after fishing for an entire day yesterday?’ Su Bai pondered.

After all, the fish was meat. Su Bai quickly put down the water and walked towards the shore.

“It’s a fish, but it’s in the water and I don’t have a harpoon. I’m afraid it’ll be hard to catch it.”

Looking at the fish swimming freely in the water, Su Bai was in a dilemma.

“Hey System, check the bag!”

Bag

Wooden Plank x 23, Mud x 2, Palm Leaf x 30, Silk Thread x 7, Stone x 5, Iron Ore x 1…

None of the items in Su Bai’s bag could be used to catch fish.

Just when Su Bai was about to give up, he suddenly saw a blueprint.

Low-Level Blueprint: Spear

Materials Needed: Wooden Plank x 20, Iron Ore X 5.

Can be used to craft a Spear.

“Although this spear is used for attack, it should also be used to catch fish.”

Su Bai had enough wooden planks. All he needed was the iron ore.

Seeing hope, he didn’t waste any more time and quickly entered fishing mode again.

After two hours of hard work, Su Bai had finally gathered five iron ores.

“Hey System, craft a spear.”

Used Low-Level Blueprint: Spear!

Materials Needed: Wooden Plank x 20, Iron Ore X 5.

Materials fulfilled.

Crafting Spear…

Crafting Spear complete!

The handle of the spear was made of wood, and the spearhead was made of iron. Unlike the spears that were often seen, this spear was missing a red tassel.

Su Bai didn’t care much about the red tassel. He only wanted to catch a fish.

“May the heavens bless me. I hope I can succeed!” Su Bai prayed in silence.

With the spear in hand, Su Bai started to look for fish on the shore.

There were a few fish nearby, but they were too small. The spear wouldn’t be able to hit them at all.

“This is the one!”

His hard work paid off. Finally, Su Bai got a big fish.

Holding the spear in his hand, Su Bai recalled the knowledge he had learned.

The water was refracted, so if one wanted to fish in the water, one had to aim below the fish. Only then one would be able to hit the fish accurately.

Su Bai aimed at the target and threw out the spear with a whoosh.

Just a little left and the fish would have escaped.

Fortunately, the silk thread was wrapped around the end of the spear. Otherwise, the spear would have become a one-time-use weapon.

After walking around the shore for a while, Su Bai found his target again.

The fish was a little slow, and Su Bai was very fast. He killed it with one blow!

“Yahoo!” Su Bai couldn’t help but cheer for catching a fish.

Although bread could also satisfy hunger, how could it be compared with the taste of fish?

However, he had only managed to catch a fish. There were still many things to do if he wanted to eat it.

There was no fire on this Island! He even had to drill wood to start a fire!

The only good news was that Su Bai had a thatched house. Otherwise, it would be more difficult to drill wood to start a fire than to climb to the sky with the sea breeze.

Su Bai, who had never experienced survival in the wilderness since he was young, was forced to learn it today.

It was a simple skill for Su Bai to start a fire.

First, he laid the dry thatch on the ground and divided it into two parts. Then, he stuffed the other part into the gaps between the thatch. He placed the burning thatch in the dry spot and threw the other half in the burning spot.

After a while, the thatch started to smoke. Su Bai quickly blew on it.

Slowly, the smoke became thicker and thicker, filling the small thatched house with smoke.

“Cough, cough … Cough, cough …”

Su Bai was choked by the smoke and was about to cry.

Finally, with a whoosh, the thatch that was still smoking suddenly turned into a ball of fire. Su Bai quickly put a few wooden planks on it. After some work, the wooden planks were also ignited.

“Haha, I’ve got fire!” Su Bai was dancing with joy.

Next, Su Bai started to process the fish. He wanted to make some fish soup, but there was no pot, so he had to give up the idea.

After the fish was cooked, Su Bai took a bite and found it tasted pretty good.

“It seems that this fish is quite delicious.”

After eating and drinking to his heart’s content, Su Bai lay on the bed and rested. For the first time in two days, Su Bai felt so satisfied.

Su Bai proceeded to open the Chat option because he was bored.

[Guys, I opened a treasure chest and got water!]

[Really? What treasure chest did you open? Are you hallucinating because you’re so thirsty?]

Su Bai was even more sure of his own thoughts after he saw the chat. He was really unlucky that all the items he got were craftable materials.

Fortunately, he had obtained the seawater desalinator. Otherwise, with his luck, he would be extremely short of water at this time.

[Why would I lie to you? I thought I saw it wrong at first, but can you drink something that you saw wrong? I’ve already drunk it.]

[Why did you say it out loud after drinking it? You can sell it to me!]

[You’re really shameless. If you are capable, go and fish for yourself! You still want to cheat others of their water.]

[Hey, don’t make it sound so bad. How can you call this lying? This is a trading fair and square!]

[I had enough of this. I’m going to go fishing. I also want to open a bottle of water to drink.]

[Hahaha, even though I’m very thirsty right now, you’re dreaming. This bottle of water must have come from a Bronze Chest. I’m even suspecting that the 5% chance is fake. I’ve already opened more than a dozen Normal Chests, and got only two Bronze Chests.]

[It’s indeed a Bronze Chest. It took me three treasure chests to get this.]

[No way, the probability of getting a Bronze Chest is quite high too. I got it almost by half, and I also got water and bread!]

[I’m envious!]

[Me too.]

[I’ll absorb, I’ll absorb, I’m going to take all your luck!]

[Alright, alright, go take in some air!]
