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

All materials have been gathered.

Xiao Zheng stopped what he was doing.

All the material icons on the crafting panel are lit up.

Simply click the confirmation button to obtain the only survival tool currently available.

But he did not act immediately.

The intense salvage operation just now took a lot of energy, and I need to catch my breath a bit.

My gaze shifted, and I clicked on [Regional Channel 996], which was floating in mid-air.

The number of online users in the upper right corner has changed to: 98102/100000.

In just a few hours, nearly two thousand people have completely disappeared from this world.

The text scrolls at an even more frantic speed than before.

"Help me! I just managed to fish a wooden bucket out of the water!"

"I thought there was food inside, but as soon as I opened it, a sea snake darted out!"

"A sea snake bit my arm, and now my whole arm is completely black!"

"Does anyone have an antidote? I'll give you all the wood I've collected!"

After the message was sent, the profile picture quickly turned gray, and a glaring skull icon appeared after the name.

Immediately afterwards, another bold red comment popped up.

"Brothers, don't open the little wooden barrel! Absolutely do not open it!"

"I just opened a blue-ringed octopus inside!"

"This thing was lying at the bottom of the bucket, and it bit my finger."

"Complete paralysis, unable to move at all."

"Good luck to you all, I'll be going now."

The channel immediately erupted in chaos.

"Holy crap! What kind of weird game is this! Opening a blind box in a wooden barrel and getting poisonous stuff?"

"I also encountered a strange fish with a mouth full of sharp teeth. It bit off a chunk of flesh from the back of my hand, and it's still bleeding!"

"That's terrifying! Not only are there sharks in the sea, but the things you pull out can be deadly!"

"So, if I get the wooden bucket, should I open it or not? If I don't open it, there won't be any plastic or wood left!"

"I'm starving! Does anyone have anything to eat? I've been scavenging all morning and all I've found are broken pieces of wood and rotten seaweed."

Soon, a person named Liu Qiang sent a message.

"Don't panic, everyone! Quickly expand the raft and then make a simple dew collector!"

"I just built this!"

Immediately, a large number of people followed suit and worshipped him.

"Wow, that's amazing! They've already built the collector!"

"Tell me quickly, how much water can this thing produce?"

Liu Qiang's message was sent out half a minute later, accompanied by a screen full of exclamation marks.

"There's definitely something wrong with this!"

"I finally gathered all the materials and built it, but the system says I can only collect a maximum of 20ml of fresh water per day!"

"20ml! Not even enough to fill a tooth gap! Under this blazing sun, I won't survive until tomorrow!"

"Damn, only 20ml? That's practically suicide!"

"I don't even have the blueprints for a dew collector, where did you guys get them?"

"The basic crafting list has it, so you don't need the blueprint, but you can't find the recipes for higher-level items at all."

"Without advanced blueprints, our dilapidated raft will be capsized by the waves tonight sooner or later."

"Water! Water! Give me a sip of water!"

Xiao Zheng closed the semi-transparent chat panel directly with his right hand.

Barrels on the sea are not absolutely safe resource points.

Others have to pull the barrel close to them and open it themselves to find out if it contains a poisonous snake or a poisonous octopus.

He possessed a plastic hook with the golden inscription "100% accuracy".

If you encounter a wooden barrel, you can simply hook the supplies out of it without risking getting close enough to open it.

As for the water shortage problem...

Xiao Zheng touched the half-bottle of absolutely pure drinking water in his pocket through the fabric.

Others risk their lives for 20ml of dew.

He downed half a bottle of water in one go, and still wasn't satisfied with quenching his thirst.

In a region of 100,000 people, the vast majority are stuck on the Tier 1 basic manufacturing list.

Even a dew collector can attract the worship of everyone.

He held in his hand a blueprint for an exceptional fishing rod, a design that was unique across the entire channel.

The view returned to the manufacturing panel.

All requirements in the materials section are met.

【木板5/5，绳索5/5，金属片2/2。】

Without any hesitation, I clicked the "Make" button.

A blinding blue light burst forth from the void.

The five wooden planks on the ground, the five newly woven palm leaf ropes, and the two heavy metal pieces instantly turned into points of light and merged together.

The light faded.

A fishing rod about three meters long fell onto the raft out of nowhere.

[Excellent-grade fishing rod successfully manufactured!]

[Gain experience +15. 】

Xiao Zheng bent down to pick up the fishing rod.

It is not light.

The rod is made of compressed and reinforced wood, with a smooth surface and a waterproof, oily sheen.

The fishing line is made of an unknown, extremely tough material mixed with palm rope twisted together.

The fishing reel at the top is inlaid with two metal plates, and the gears make a crisp mechanical friction sound as they turn.

A sharp iron fishhook with an exceptionally sharp barb is attached to the end.

【Item Name: Excellent Grade Fishing Rod】

【Durability: 100/100】

[Review: Not only can it help you easily catch fish in shallow waters, but there's also a very low chance of hooking up hidden treasures from the deep sea.]

Xiao Zheng looked the fishing rod up and down.

My stomach had already been rumbling in protest.

I'm experiencing severe physical exhaustion and urgently need to replenish my protein levels.

He turned and walked toward the edge of the raft.

The six-square-meter wooden raft beneath my feet swayed steadily, rising and falling with the gentle breeze.

We just dredged up a lot of seaweed.

Xiao Zheng picked up a piece of half-dried seaweed, wrapped it around the sharp fishhook, and tied it tightly.

Step back half a step with your left foot to stabilize your foot.

Raise the fishing rod high with your right hand and use your waist to generate power.

He suddenly swung his arm forward.

The fishing reel spun rapidly, emitting a screeching sound.

The fishhook, draped with seaweed, traced an arc in the air before splashing into the seawater twenty meters away.

The simple white buoy floated on the water, bobbing up and down.

Xiao Zheng gripped the rod handle with both hands.

Calm and calm.

Ten minutes passed.

Twenty minutes passed.

The scorching sun beat down on my back, and sweat streamed down my spine.

The buoy remained completely still.

This vast, dark blue ocean was utterly still.

Sudden.

The once quiet white buoy suddenly sank.

A distinct ripple spread across the water's surface.

Something has taken the bait.

It was quite strong; the fishing line was pulled taut.

Xiao Zheng's arm muscles bulged instantly, and he pulled hard in opposite directions with both hands.

The gears spun wildly, starting to reel in the line.

The fishing rod felt heavy in my hand; it was a large piece of equipment.

He quickly cranked the wheel.

ten meters.

five meters.

The target was forcibly pulled out of the water.

Whoosh!

Water splashed everywhere.

A huge, dark object was dragged onto a six-square-meter wooden board, and a pungent, putrid stench assaulted the nostrils.

This is not a fish.

This is a worn-out black rubber boot covered in green barnacles, with the boot shaft stuffed full of rotten black seaweed.

[Received: 1 tattered rain boot, a worthless item.]

[Received: Rotten seaweed x1. Consuming it will cause severe poisoning and diarrhea; it is recommended to discard it.]

Xiao Zheng kicked the pile of garbage back into the sea.

Relying on blind fishing to obtain so-called low-probability deep-sea treasures is simply unrealistic.

It wastes bait, and even more so, a lot of energy and time.

On the scorching sun-baked sea, even half an hour of sun exposure can lead to dehydration.

He stopped what he was doing and stood the fishing rod upright to the side.

My gaze fell to my feet.

There lay quietly the tattered plastic hook, bound with the golden tag "100% accuracy".

This thing ignores wind resistance and distance; once thrown, it will definitely hit the target.

Xiao Zheng rubbed his sore wrist, his gaze shifting back and forth between the ordinary iron fishhooks and the plastic hooks.

Fishing rods offer strong tensile strength, the ability to reel in and release the line, and the ability to dive deep into the sea.

What if we replace it with a plastic hook?

The combination of these two methods can completely lock onto high-level supplies in the deep sea.
