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

Xiao Zheng stared at the information on the second card, his mind racing.

Spatial jump.

At first glance, it really looks impressive.

Lock onto any target within the line of sight, instantly swap positions, three times a day, ignoring physical barriers.

On land, this would be considered a divine skill.

Urban street fighting, indoor raids, and even raids to steal supplies—it's all flawless.

But the problem is—this is the ocean.

All around, there was nothing but water.

Leap forward 500 meters, and you'll fall directly into the sea to feed the fish.

The raft won't fly over there.

Even if it's used for robbery?

For example, if you see a box of good stuff on some unlucky guy's raft a few hundred meters away, you can immediately initiate a warp and swap places with that box of supplies.

The supplies have indeed arrived.

But what about the other party?

He was transferred to his raft.

A living person suddenly appeared in his own base camp.

The barbecue grill, water purifier, storage box, and Zhuge crossbow were all exposed.

Moreover, if that person is carrying some infectious disease or has a self-destructing device, they could just blow it up on the raft.

Although it is immune to all laws and can withstand it, it may not be so effective against a person standing on it.

The fault tolerance rate is too low.

It doesn't fit his steady and methodical style.

disuse.

Xiao Zheng focused his attention on the last card.

While the first two options are powerful, they both have fatal flaws. One turns people into monsters, and the other is tantamount to suicide at sea.

If the third one also underperforms, then half of the level 3 reward is wasted.

Fingers landed on the surface of the cards.

Flip the card.

[Entry 3: Destiny of Heaven and Earth (Gold)]

[Attribute: Law/Causality]

[Fixing Requirements: Limited to the user only]

[Effect: Unravel the mystery and gain insight into the future. Allows for one accurate divination daily regarding upcoming actions or unknown blind box items.]

[Rules: The divination results are divided into five levels, and cannot be changed or reversed.]

[Top-tier fortune: Auspicious purple clouds arrive from the east, untouched by calamities. A hidden dragon emerges from the abyss, riding the clouds and water. (Absolutely auspicious, accompanied by top-tier opportunities, with no risk whatsoever)]

[Good fortune: Auspicious stars shine brightly, sails are carried smoothly. Though there may be some setbacks, all will be well and without danger. (Huge gains, minor obstacles can be easily overcome.)]

[Winning Fortune: Smooth and steady progress is advised; stillness is preferable to action. Remaining content with one's lot will bring longevity and good fortune. (Maintaining the status quo is best, as there is neither great achievement nor great loss.)]

[Bad Fortune: Hidden reefs lurk, danger lurks everywhere. Do not be greedy, retreat and withdraw. (Heavy losses, accompanied by the risk of severe damage such as broken limbs)]

[The worst possible outcome: a near-death experience, a hellish ordeal. A cursed star, surrounded by enemies. (Even a god couldn't save you.)]

Xiao Zheng read the explanations of the five fortune slips twice from beginning to end.

This entry has no additional negative effects.

Purely information-based cheat codes.

In the context of post-apocalyptic survival, information is the most valuable thing.

Give the simplest example.

There is a perfect treasure chest 300 meters ahead, but a mutated deep-sea behemoth is lying next to it.

Without this entry, rushing in would be suicide.

With this entry, if you try to divine the outcome and it's a very bad omen, then you should just stay put on the raft and not move an inch.

Conversely, if you draw the best possible fortune, then just go for it; you'll find top opportunities even with your eyes closed.

That's like having one more chance to cheat every day.

An opportunity to see through the course of fate.

This item might not seem very useful in the early stages of exploration, since the raft is invincible, resources are plentiful, and weapons are readily available.

But as the situation progresses and the danger level increases, when life-or-death decisions become necessary, an accurate divination can save a life.

There's nothing to hesitate about.

Xiao Zheng raised his hand and clicked to confirm.

[Selected entry: Destiny and Fortune (Gold)]

[Fixed Target: The Host Itself]

[Curing complete.]

A warm sensation flowed into my head.

It doesn't hurt or itch.

It's like something suddenly appeared in my mind, an extremely subtle intuition.

It's hard to explain, but it definitely exists.

Xiao Zheng closed his eyes and tried to feel it.

The feeling is like standing at a crossroads, and before you even take a step, the images at the end of each road are already vaguely appearing in your mind.

It's blurry; you have to actively trigger a divination to see it clearly.

But this basic "premonition" alone made him feel much more at ease.

Strike while the iron is hot.

My first divination.

Xiao was constructing a clear problem in his mind.

"Stay where you are, don't move, and wait."

The moment the thought was settled.

A bamboo stick appeared in the void before my eyes.

The bamboo skewer is dark yellow all over, with two characters engraved on it.

[Winner of the lottery.]

The current should be gentle and steady, and stillness is preferable to movement.

Neither achieving anything significant nor making any major mistakes, maintaining the status quo is the best course of action.

Expected.

His raft was solidified, making him impervious to all magic; staying in place, nothing could threaten him. Nothing would happen, but neither would he gain anything.

Purely just giving up.

Then the second question came to mind.

"Drift forward and leave the current sea area."

The bamboo skewers reappeared.

The color is different this time.

The entire bamboo skewer was shimmering with a pale purple glow.

[A very auspicious fortune.]

Auspicious purple clouds rise from the east, untouched by calamities. A hidden dragon emerges from the abyss, riding the clouds and water.

Xiao Zheng's pupils suddenly contracted.

A very auspicious sign.

Absolutely auspicious, accompanied by top-tier opportunities, with absolutely no risk.

There's a large cargo ahead.

And it was an incredibly great opportunity.

This concludes the divination session; your daily quota of once has been used up.

But two outcomes are enough: either staying put is a waste of time, or moving forward is a direct path to the gold mine.

What are we waiting for?

Xiao Zheng glanced at the sea around the raft.

This massive 36-square-meter machine has no sails, no oars, and no engine.

Pushing by swimming? He's not afraid of getting tired, but it's too inefficient.

My gaze fell on the few extra wooden planks piled up next to the storage box.

Then he looked at the construction hammer in his hand.

He didn't have a ready-made power system, but he had plenty of wood.

Xiao Zheng rummaged through the storage box and took out ten planks and a few ropes. He used a construction hammer to nail a simple support at the stern of the raft, then thinned two long planks and tied them to the sides of the support to make a pair of rough but usable hand-cranked paddles.

The paddle enters the water, and with a powerful stroke, it plunges into the water.

The raft began to move slowly.

The speed wasn't fast, but without any countercurrents, it was enough for the sea fortress to slowly advance.

As Xiao Zheng rowed, he casually tossed out the plastic hook.

The plastic hook, with its unerring locking effect, flew out.

No need to aim, no need to look.

Just think about the word "supplies".

"Whoosh—"

The hook flew out.

A few seconds later, there was a tug-of-war.

[3 ordinary wooden board.]

Throw it into the storage box and keep paddling.

He cast the line again.

"Whoosh—"

[5 palm leaves.]

Throw it in.

Throw it again.

[Metal sheet x2.]

Received.

The whole process was smooth and seamless.

The left hand paddles to propel the boat forward, while the right hand casts a hook to retrieve the cargo.

Neither will interfere with the other.

The raft moved steadily forward on the sea, slowly but steadily, getting closer to the direction indicated by the auspicious fortune slip every minute.

Lin Xiaoya's messages were still displayed on the private chat panel.

After paddling a few times, Xiao Zheng freed his hand to open the chat panel.

Several more lines of text appeared below the voice message.
