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

After reading the message, Xiao Zheng stopped chewing coconut meat.

He glanced down at the pile of coconuts at his feet, then looked up at the large expanse of green coconuts hanging on the coconut tree.

This girl has a quick mind.

He had just landed on the island and was figuring out how to transport the supplies back to the raft when Lin Xiaoya's message paved the way for him.

He replied with a message.

Send me the blueprints.

Lin Xiaoya replied instantly.

"good!"

A trading panel popped up, showing a common-grade wooden cup blueprint with a trading price of 0.

Xiao Zheng clicked to use.

All you need is a wooden board.

He took a piece of wood out of the storage box and held it in his hand.

A system notification appears.

【Craft: Standard Wooden Cup? Consumes: 1 Wooden Board】

confirm.

The wooden board in my hand cracked open, but reformed itself two seconds later.

A small wooden cup appeared in the palm of the hand.

The cup has thin, smooth walls, a rim diameter less than the size of a fist, and a flat bottom.

The volume appears to be slightly over 100 milliliters.

just.

Xiao Zheng pulled the spear from the ground and aimed the tip at the top of a new coconut.

One poke.

The coconut juice gushed out, and he caught it in a wooden cup.

A full cup.

I switched to a second cup and continued filling. After pouring out one coconut, I had filled exactly four and a half cups.

He picked up a glass of coconut juice.

The sweet aroma spreads directly.

If this thing were displayed in the trading hall, it would be enough to make those who had been thirsting all night envious.

Xiao Zheng neatly arranged the four cups of coconut juice, then turned around and continued to cast the plastic hooks onto the tree.

One by one, the hooks pulled the coconuts down from the top of the tree.

In ten minutes, twenty coconuts appeared at my feet.

Next up are bananas.

The hook flew out, tearing off the entire bunch by the roots, which then crashed heavily onto the grass.

He tore off four strings in one go, which piled up to weigh almost forty pounds.

He didn't forget about breadfruit either, taking six or seven fist-sized fruits into his pocket.

Finally, he stood in the middle of the coconut pile.

Twenty coconuts, each yielding four cups of coconut juice, that's eighty cups.

Fresh water is a hard currency, but coconut juice contains sugar, and drinking a cup can be equivalent to half a meal.

Xiao Zhenglian made twenty wooden cups, filled them all with coconut juice, and put them into the storage box.

After doing all that, he sent a message to Lin Xiaoya.

"You're really smart. You should partner with me in business from now on."

"The blueprints have been received, and the coconut milk cups are ready. We are ready to complete the transaction."

Lin Xiaoya's reply came very quickly.

"Really?! Senior, you're incredibly efficient!"

"What's the price?"

"10 planks, or equivalent rare materials."

There was a pause on the other end.

"...Isn't it too expensive?"

"It's not expensive. I'm the only one on the entire channel who has it, take it or leave it."

Lin Xiaoya was silent for two seconds.

"Got it, monopoly pricing. It was the same question on our business administration department's final exam."

Xiao Zheng sent a transaction request.

Items to be traded: 2 bananas.

Transaction price: 0.

Note: I'd like to offer you a banana.

Lin Xiaoya quickly clicked "accept".

Two bright yellow bananas appeared on her raft.

A dozen seconds later, she sent a message.

"Delicious. Really delicious. I haven't had bananas in ages."

"Senior, when we meet again later..."

The message was interrupted for a few seconds before being sent.

"I'll eat the banana again in front of you..."

Xiao Zheng closed the private chat and opened the trading section of the regional channel.

He edited a transaction message.

[For Sale: 1 cup of fresh coconut juice (100ml, freshly squeezed from a natural coconut, chilled and sweet)]

[Price: 10 Common Wooden Planks / 5 Metal Sheets / 5 Ropes / 2 Glass / 1 Rare Blueprint (Choose one of the above)]

[Note: Limited supply, while supplies last. Common items such as fish and palm leaves are not accepted. Please message me if interested.]

send.

Within three seconds, the message was pushed to the top of the news feed.

The channel instantly went wild.

[Holy crap?! Coconut juice?!]

【Am I seeing things? Fresh coconut juice? Isn't this at sea? Where did you get the coconuts from?】

[Hey guys, anyone want to pinch me? I've been thirsty all night. Is anyone selling coconut juice right now?]

[Ten wooden boards per cup? That's a bit pricey, but it's coconut juice... My mouth was full of salt, and I almost gritted my teeth when I saw the word "sweet".]

[Is this fake? Is it a fishing scam? Where did these coconuts come from?]

Please, could you make it cheaper? I only have three planks left, I have nothing else. I just want a sweet drink.

The private chat panel started flashing wildly.

The first message popped up.

"Is the coconut juice genuine? I'll offer 10 planks; can we trade now?"

Xiao Zheng replied with a single word.

"able."

The transaction was initiated, 10 wooden planks were received, and a cup of coconut juice was delivered.

Three seconds later, the other party replied.

"Hold."

"It really is coconut juice."

"Dude, are you a god???"

Xiao Zheng didn't reply; he accepted the next order.

The trading sector is becoming increasingly popular.

Those who bought it came forward one after another, saying it was really coconut juice, incredibly sweet, and that they felt instantly revived after drinking it.

Then, a glaring message popped up in the channel.

It was that same fisherman who had traveled through time and was still bragging in the channel about how many fish he had caught.

[So what if you caught a few coconuts? What's with the attitude? Ten dollars a cup of water, you think you're some big shot? So all my hard work catching a fish isn't even worth a sip of your water? Who gave you the nerve to set this price?]

Someone in the channel immediately retorted.

They have what you don't, and they're free to set their own prices. If you can't afford it, don't be jealous.

[Sour grapes? I have over twenty fish; what kind of fish can't I eat? And this coconut water, you're all rushing to buy it like you've never had water before—have your brains been soaked in seawater?]

[@Xiao Zheng, I'll offer you three fish in exchange for a cup of wine, are you in or not? If not, forget it, what's the big deal?]

Xiao Zheng leaned against a coconut tree and glanced at the screen.

He did not reply.

They directly listed a fresh cup of coconut juice on the trading platform.

Three seconds later, it was bought by someone else.

"Playing dead, huh? You don't even want my fish? Fine, you wait. Once I find a coconut tree, I'll drastically reduce the price to a plank of wood and a cup of water, leaving you starving."

Xiao Zheng turned off the channel panel.

He didn't need to reply; someone in the channel had already spoken up for him.

[Find a coconut tree? Try finding one first! It's already the second day, and who has found the island? Out of 100,000 people, he's the only one with coconut juice. Where are you going to find that?]

[The fisherman's defenses crumbled, hahaha.]

[Brother Fish, your twenty fish are nothing compared to coconut juice. These days, fish are worthless; water is what matters.]

[You bunch of simps, just you wait.]...

Twenty cups of coconut juice were sold.

Xiao Zheng leaned against the tree trunk and opened his trading log.

One hundred and forty ordinary wooden boards, thirty-two metal sheets, twenty ropes, and four pieces of glass.

There were no blueprints, no rare materials.

It's all basic materials.

Players on the second day couldn't hold onto any good items. Those who could afford to spend ten wooden planks to buy a cup of coconut juice were already among the top performers in the channel.
