Raft for All: I'm guaranteed to get a golden affix when I upgrade!

"How did you know?" Xiao Zheng typed back, "Are you also from Nancheng University?"

The message has been sent.

Neither admitted nor denied it.

Throw the question back at us.

On the other side, Lin Xiaoya looked at the replies on the panel.

My breathing faltered.

Guess it right!

It's really him!

She was so excited that she stood up abruptly from the raft, which rocked violently and nearly threw her into the sea.

She quickly crouched down and clung tightly to the edge of the wooden plank.

Fingers frantically tapped on the virtual keyboard.

"Oh my god! It really is you! Senior Xiao Zheng!"

"I'm Lin Xiaoya, a third-year student majoring in Economics and Management!"

"At Nancheng University, everyone knows you!"

"A ruthless individual who consistently tops the national scholarship list and works five jobs a day without rest!"

"Washing dishes in the cafeteria, handing out flyers at the south gate, working the night shift at the coffee shop... everyone says you're practically risking your life for money."

Messages kept popping up.

Xiao Zheng looked at the scrolling text on the screen and tugged at his collar.

I didn't correct the other party's exaggerated wording.

At school, he was indeed a marginal person who only cared about money.

Lin Xiaoya's messages are still coming in.

"Senior..."

"Actually, I am Xia Wanying's roommate."

"It's that girl who used to pick you up from your night shift at that coffee shop outside the South Gate."

The chat window paused for a moment.

Lin Xiaoya's cheeks flushed as she looked at the screen.

On this cold, drafty sea, recalling the youthful innocence of my university days evokes a strong sense of unreality.

She had fantasies about Xiao Zheng.

The boy in the faded white shirt, skillfully wiping glasses in the coffee shop, exuded a clean and resilient energy.

So many girls talk about him during their late-night dorm room chats.

But she didn't dare to confess her feelings.

......

Summer Evening Firefly.

This name forcefully opened up a corner of Xiao Zheng's memory.

A girl with a ponytail, not very tall, who always has a sweet smile.

She was the undisputed campus beauty of Nancheng University.

Every time he took over the shift, Xia Wanying would take a warm carton of milk out of her bag and give it to him.

The excuse is always "I bought too much during the supermarket sale".

She's a very kind but naive girl.

"So it's Xia Wanying's roommate." Xiao Zheng tapped his knee lightly with his fingers.

In this crappy post-apocalyptic game, I run into a familiar face whose name I can recall.

It is indeed a very low probability event.

Since Lin Xiaoya is Xia Wanying's best friend, birds of a feather flock together, and her personality is likely to be on the softer side.

"Is Xia Wanying in this area too?" Xiao Zheng asked.

"I don't know." Lin Xiaoya's reply was tinged with frustration. "I called out to her in the channel yesterday, but the messages refreshed too quickly, and no one responded. I don't know how she is now."

A regional channel with 100,000 users sees several thousand die every day.

No one can guarantee they'll survive tomorrow.

"have no idea."

"Never seen it before."

Xiao Zheng tapped the virtual keyboard with one hand.

Click send.

Lin Xiaoya on the other end replied instantly.

"Senior, I retrieved two wooden buckets when I first arrived yesterday."

"I unearthed ten planks, and expanded the raft to six square meters."

"And I also found a 300ml bottle of mineral water!"

"Senior, you took in my bag of seeds and gave me such a big fish."

"I really have nothing to repay you with."

"Take this bottle of water; you must be dehydrated too."

Xiao Zheng looked at the messages popping up on the screen.

Three hundred milliliters of water.

This girl was almost starving and thirsty herself, yet she was willing to give him water that could save her life?

Xiao Zheng turned his head away.

I glanced at the basic water purifier next to me, which was steadily dispensing water; the water tank was already half full of clear fresh water.

He replied by typing.

"Keep it for yourself, I don't need it."

Lin Xiaoya paused for a few seconds.

Immediately afterwards, a longer text appeared.

"Senior, listen to me."

"I salvaged some supplies yesterday, and after upgrading my raft, the system notified me that I've leveled up to level 1!"

"Not only has my stamina been fully restored, but all four of my attributes have also increased by 1 point!"

"You can level up and become stronger in this game!"

"Senior, hurry up and collect more materials so you can level up sooner!"

Xiao Zheng stared at the last line of exclamation marks.

The level 2 attribute panel was displayed in the upper left corner of his field of vision.

The experience bar for leveling up to level 3 is already more than half full.

This girl is incredibly naive.

However, even on this cannibalistic sea, there are still people willing to open their hearts and share secrets.

This feels pretty good.

Xiao Zheng closed the chat window.

He turned and walked toward the temperature-controlled foam box next to him.

He casually picked up a tangerine.

Bring up the trading panel.

Lock onto Lin Xiaoya's profile picture.

Simply throw the orange into the trade slot.

Donated free of charge.

Click to confirm.

On another stretch of sea.

Lin Xiaoya held the bottle of mineral water she was reluctant to drink.

A transaction notification pops up at the top of the screen.

She turned on the light screen.

A mandarin orange covered in fine water droplets and emitting a slight chill.

It lies quietly in the trading grid.

The accompanying note contained only a few words.

"Live well."

Lin Xiaoya stood there, stunned.

She took the oranges out.

The icy temperature was directly transmitted to the ten fingers.

In this desperate situation where even a sip of seawater at room temperature is unavailable.

Chilled fruit.

This is the highest level of luxury treatment.

A sour, astringent feeling rushed into my nasal cavity.

She pressed the voice button.

Her trembling nasal voice was mixed with sobs.

"Thank you, Brother Xiao Zheng."

"I will definitely live well."

On the raft.

A voice message popped up.

Xiao Zheng clicked to play.

The girl's slightly timid voice echoed across the vast sea.

The "Brother Xiao Zheng" that slipped out was drawn out very softly at the end.

Xiao Zheng tapped his fingers on his knee twice.

He chuckled softly.

In the midst of the otherwise tedious survival game, it's nice to have a living person to talk to.

Focus your mind.

Time to get down to business.

He straightened up.

Look up at the top of your head.

The sun was scorching.

The sky was a clear, cloudless blue.

But this awful weather makes no sense at all.

Last night's drop in temperature has confirmed this.

What if there's a downpour tonight?

No matter how big the raft is expanded, it can't stop the rain from falling from the sky.

A perfect barbecue grill can indeed provide heat.

However, if a person is soaked in rainwater all night, the rate at which their body heat is lost will definitely exceed the rate at which the heating is provided.

We need to build a shell to shelter us from the wind and rain.

Building a house requires a massive amount of wooden plank foundation resources.

It may even require advanced resources such as nails and ropes.

The most crucial blueprints can only be obtained through salvage.

Xiao Zheng removed the plastic hook from the fishing rod.

He strode to the edge of the raft.

The waves are calm and the view is wide open.

On the distant sea, three gray shadows rose and fell with the waves.

The distance is approximately 150 meters.

It was all wooden barrels and planks.

Xiao Zheng pulled his right arm back and suddenly exerted force from his waist and abdomen.

The plastic hook shot out with a shriek.

The phrase "100% accuracy" was triggered mid-air.

The adaptively extending nylon line instantly spans a distance of 100 meters.

"Click".

Precisely locate the leftmost barrel.

Xiao Zheng pulled the rope with both hands.

The wooden barrel carved a white wave into the sea.

Ten seconds later.

The wooden barrel slammed heavily against the edge of the wooden plank.
