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

Xiao Zheng took a big bite of crab meat, then turned and walked to the planting box.

A few fruits hung from the Cold Jade Coconut Tree, their shells gleaming with a faint, cold light.

He reached out and twisted off a seed, poked the top open with the tip of his spear, and tilted his head back to take a big gulp.

The cool coconut juice slid down my throat, even more refreshing than iced coconut juice.

He casually opened the chat box and started typing with one hand.

"Check your system panel; you'll gain experience points for defeating monsters."

Have you gained any experience points?

After sending the message, Xiao Zheng took another swig of coconut juice and leaned against the mast base to wait for a reply.

The sails billowed overhead, and the sea breeze rushed into them, making a dull whooshing sound.

The platform on the water maintained a steady pace as it moved southeast.

About half a minute later.

Lin Xiaoya's message popped up.

"I was just looking at it, and there were no tips or suggestions..."

"Senior, it's not dead, is it?"

A trembling emoji followed.

Xiao Zheng paused for a moment while drinking coconut juice.

No experience points were given.

This means that thing is still clinging to life.

But he didn't panic at all.

The venom of the superior-grade blue-ringed octopus was currently his most powerful weapon. Three crossbow bolts coated with potent poison pierced through him head-on; even a superior-grade mutated creature wouldn't last ten seconds.

The fact that this thing didn't die completely on the spot only means that its constitution or the hardness of its shell is quite extraordinary.

But that's all.

The toxins have already entered the bloodstream; it's just a matter of time.

Xiao Zheng put down the coconut and pressed the voice button.

"The lack of experience suggests it's not completely dead."

"But that's the venom of an exceptional-grade blue-ringed octopus, pierced directly by three poison arrows. Even if it's still breathing, it's already on its way to the underworld."

"It can't change anything."

Send a voice message.

Fifty nautical miles away.

Lin Xiaoya squatted on the edge of the raft, with the huge crab claw resting on her knees.

After listening to the voice message, she looked down at the wooden plank beneath her feet.

The holes pierced by the three crossbow bolts had stopped bleeding, and the black bloodstains had dried in the cracks of the wooden planks.

There was no vibration, and no friction sound.

The sea was so quiet that only the sound of the wind could be heard.

She bit her lower lip and tried to pry open the crab claws.

With a "crack," the crab shell split open. The crab meat was exposed.

It's still hot.

She took a small bite, and the sweet juice burst in her mouth, simultaneously suppressing her hunger and fear.

This stuff is really delicious.

Eating top-quality crab meat on this dilapidated raft always evokes a sense of absurd incongruity.

She replied to Xiao Zheng's message while she was eating.

"The crab legs are so delicious, thank you senior."

"But I'm still a little scared. What if it wakes up?"

Xiao Zheng scoffed when he saw the message.

What if I wake up?

An exceptional-grade neurotoxin that, once it seeps into the bloodstream, will continuously damage motor nerves. Even if that thing is tough enough not to die, its entire body should be paralyzed by now, making it difficult to even turn over.

But there's no point in explaining it to her; this girl doesn't need scientific analysis.

What she needs is a sense of security.

Xiao Zheng stood up and placed the half-finished Cold Jade Coconut next to the barbecue grill.

He walked to the bow of the platform, turned around, and faced his base.

In the night, the flames from the perfect barbecue grill illuminated most of the deck.

A six-meter-high solid wood mast pierced the night sky, its top-of-the-line fine sails billowing in the sea breeze, the white canvas gleaming warm yellow in the firelight.

Four large planting boxes are neatly arranged on the east side, with the branches and leaves of the epic dragon blood fruit tree swaying gently in the wind. Next to them are jade coconut trees and banana trees laden with fruit.

A 100-square-meter deck spread out on the dark sea, a pale golden shield enveloping the entire platform, keeping out all the waves and cold winds.

Xiao Zheng opened the rare-grade compass.

A map with a radius of one kilometer was projected from above, with blue light floating in the air, clearly marking the topography and shipping routes of the surrounding sea area.

He took two steps back and adjusted his angle.

Include the giant sail, barbecue grill, plantation, and map in the frame.

"Click."

The photos are taken.

He glanced at it and nodded in satisfaction.

I opened the chat window and sent the photo directly to them.

No text explanation was added.

Fifty nautical miles away.

Lin Xiaoya was breaking off the second crab leg.

An image pops up in the chat window.

She tapped it with her fingers, which were covered in crab sauce.

The moment the image loaded, she froze as she broke off the crab leg.

What comes into view is a giant platform that covers the entire map.

A hundred-square-meter wooden deck stretched out in the night, with a bright barbecue grill burning in the center, illuminating the entire base.

A six-meter-high mast stands on the platform, its giant sail at the top obscuring the sky.

On the east side of the deck, four planting boxes were filled with trees she had never seen before—one of which had fruit hanging from its crown that emitted a faint orange glow.

The most outrageous thing is that there is a map floating above the platform, with densely packed terrain markings that are clearly visible.

"Clatter".

The crab roe I had just peeled fell onto the deck.

Lin Xiaoya stared blankly at the photo, then looked down at her feet.

Ten square meters.

There were three holes pierced by crossbow bolts at the joints of the wooden planks, and the corpse of a monster, whose fate was unknown, was floating underneath.

His only possessions were a storage box.

She looked up at the photo again.

One hundred square meters.

Giant sail.

map.

farm.

Lin Xiaoya was stunned for a full five seconds, then suddenly pressed the voice button.

"Senior!"

"This isn't survival, it's a vacation at sea!"

"That's insane!!!"

The voice in the audio was raised an octave, and the end of the syllable was trembling.

She took a breath and sent another message.

"Your raft is huge! It even has trees planted on it? And a map??"

After listening to the voice message, Xiao Zheng's lips twitched slightly.

He didn't reply, but leaned back against the mast base and leisurely peeled a premium banana.

The objective has been achieved.

Lin Xiaoya was now completely shocked by his base, and had no time to be afraid of the half-dead thing under the raft.

The best cure for fear is never comfort.

He took a bite of the banana.

I casually opened the regional chat channel, intending to kill some time for entertainment before bed.

The information on the screen scrolled by very quickly.

The number of survivors is still slowly declining, but the rate of decline has slowed considerably.

Players who have survived this long have basically solved the problems of keeping warm and having fresh water, and are starting to think about how to expand their rafts and stockpile supplies.

Xiao Zheng scrolled down a few more entries.

A familiar ID popped up.

It's that fisherman who jumped out and provoked him when he was selling coconut juice.

Xiao Zheng was too lazy to pay attention to him and simply ignored him.

This guy is spamming the chat again.

"Brothers, look! We just caught two groupers, one weighing three pounds and the other two and a half pounds. Tonight will be another seafood feast! [Image]"

The comments section below is no longer as enthusiastic as it used to be.

"Grouper again, bro. Can't you come up with something different? I'm tired of seeing the same old thing."

"Posting fish photos every day, are you here to survive or to start a seafood livestream?"

"I caught four fish bigger than yours this morning, did I tell you?"
