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

Lin Xiaoya's movements were a beat slow.

She glanced down at her wrinkled white T-shirt and salt-stained denim shorts, and subconsciously used her fingers to tidy up her hair, which had been blown about by the sea breeze.

He rubbed his cheek with his palm again, feeling the rough texture on his fingertips.

Salt grains.

The more you rub it, the dirtier it gets.

Forget it.

She wiped her hands on her shorts twice, then picked up the plastic hook again and swung it out.

Let's live first, then worry about whether it looks good or not.

My hands were busy, and my mind was working just as fast.

One hundred thousand people share one regional channel, and she just so happens to be assigned to the same 996 channel as Xiao Zheng.

She happened to recognize his name.

He insisted on talking to her.

He also gave her fish, oranges, and a perfect-grade repeating crossbow.

Lin Xiaoya's lips curled up, and she worked even faster.

They pieced together the planks one by one, and soon they had twenty planks.

She opened the crafting panel and expanded the raft from four square meters to ten square meters.

Now at least I can stand up and even lie down to rest for a while.

Then they nailed together a pair of simple hand-cranked paddles using several planks of wood and rope.

I tested the paddle by dipping it into the water, and the raft started moving slowly.

It's incredibly slow, but it's definitely moving forward.

Lin Xiaoya was so happy she almost jumped for joy.

She typed with one hand while paddling.

"Senior! I've built the oar! It's moving!"

Xiao Zheng replied with a single word.

"Um."

Another word.

Lin Xiaoya gritted her teeth and continued typing.

"I expanded the raft; it's ten square meters now!"

"good."

In short, there has been progress.

Lin Xiaoya typed another line.

"Senior, you said there's something good up ahead, what is it?"

"We don't know yet; we'll have to wait until we get there to confirm."

"Then let me know when you arrive!"

"OK."

Lin Xiaoya rowed for a while, and her arms started to ache.

But I was in an incredibly good mood.

She posted another message.

"Senior, do you have a bed on your raft?"

After sending the question, she realized that what she said sounded a bit strange.

Just as he was about to add, "I was asking if it's convenient for you to sleep," Xiao Zheng's reply popped up.

"have."

"Excellent grade, quite large, more than enough for one person to sleep in."

Lin Xiaoya pursed her lips and hesitated for a moment.

"What if there are two people?"

After sending the message, she immediately closed the chat panel, too afraid to look at it.

Ten seconds later, I couldn't resist opening it again.

"Squeezing it in isn't out of the question."

Lin Xiaoya buried her face in her arms, the skin on the back of her neck burning from the sun, unable to tell whether it was the sun's heat or her own.

Was this person doing this on purpose?

It was absolutely intentional.

She said it in a fit of pique.

"I mean, what if we run into that? I can't possibly sleep on a wooden plank, can I?"

"The wooden board isn't actually cold."

"you!"

"Just kidding, you'll sleep in the bed and I'll sleep on the floor."

Lin Xiaoya's heartbeat calmed down a bit, but she still felt a little lost.

Sleeping on the floor? Is that really necessary?

She shook her head vigorously, trying to clear those chaotic thoughts from her mind.

Let's focus on surviving first, let's meet first, and we'll talk about the rest later.

He put his hands back on the oars and rowed hard toward the north.

……

the other side.

Xiao Zheng closed the chat panel and focused his energy back on paddling and salvage.

Use your left hand to row the oar, and your right hand to cast a line every few tens of seconds.

The plastic hook always brings something back with it every time it flies out.

Wooden planks, palm leaves, and metal sheets were stuffed into the storage boxes like an assembly line.

Helping Lin Xiaoya was initially a business deal.

He provides the food, she provides the seeds; it's a fair trade, each getting what they need.

But when people drift at sea for a long time, surrounded by water, with a hazy sky overhead, the sounds of wind and waves, there is no sign of any living person.

Even the most resilient person will have problems if they're alone.

Having someone on the other end of the line sending messages every now and then, even if they're just nonsense, is better than talking to thin air.

Lin Xiaoya just happened to fill in this position.

As for the later act of sending the crossbow—

Xiao Zheng paused for a moment while casting the rod.

"If there is an afterlife—"

Those words flashed through my mind again.

He pulled the hook back, and a small fish the size of a palm was caught on the hook tip. He then tossed it into the storage box.

Keep rowing.

The direction indicated by the most auspicious fortune slip will not be wrong.

Time passed little by little.

The raft moved steadily across the sea, not fast but never stopping.

It took another twenty minutes or so to row.

Just as Xiao Zheng was about to reel in his line and switch hands, a silhouette suddenly appeared in the gray-white mist ahead.

You read that right.

On the sea, a dark, raised landmass is slowly emerging from the thin mist.

Low bushes, exposed rock walls, and a patch of shrubs growing haphazardly on a slope.

It's not an illusion, not a mirage.

It is real land.

In this ridiculous game where eight billion people worldwide are thrown into an endless ocean, he saw an island.

A very auspicious sign.

Auspicious purple clouds come from the east, untouched by calamities.

Today's divination quota has been used up, but the result alone is enough. The island ahead is not only safe, but also holds unparalleled opportunities.

Xiao Zheng steadied himself, put the paddle back on, and began to row with all his might.

At the current speed, we should be able to get close in half an hour.

I'm in an incredibly good mood.

After paddling a few times, he freed his right hand, opened the private chat panel, and sent a message to Lin Xiaoya.

"I see an island."

After sending it, I added another one.

"We're both on the 996 channel, so we shouldn't be too far apart. Look around your area and see if there are any islands."

The message was sent out, and the paddles continued to enter the water, one stroke at a time, with a very steady rhythm.

the other side.

Lin Xiaoya was squatting on the expanded raft, holding a plastic hook in one hand, ready to throw it out, and stuffing a piece of wood that she had just pulled up into the storage compartment with the other.

Her current state is completely different from what it was half an hour ago.

The level 2 attribute bonus is so obvious. My arms don't ache anymore, my legs don't shake anymore, and my work efficiency has doubled.

But half of her attention wasn't on the salvage operation at all.

He glanced at the chat panel every few seconds to see if Xiao Zheng had any new messages.

I can't explain why, I just couldn't help it.

"drop."

The panel lit up.

Lin Xiaoya didn't even have time to swing the plastic hook in her hand before she slapped the message open.

"I see an island."

She was completely stunned.

island?

In this godforsaken place where everything is water?

The next message popped up immediately.

"We're both on the 996 channel, so we shouldn't be too far apart. Look around your area and see if there are any islands."

Lin Xiaoya threw the plastic hook onto the raft and stood up abruptly.

She stood on tiptoe, stretched her neck, and turned a full 360 degrees.

To the east, there is water.

To the west, there is water.

To the south, a few wooden barrels floated on the water.

To the north, there is still water.

There wasn't even a reef in sight.

She plopped back down, her face full of disappointment, and started typing rapidly.

"Senior, I checked! It's all sea on all sides, nothing else!"

After sending it, I couldn't help but add another sentence.

"You really see the island? Are you seeing things?"
