Raft for All: I'm guaranteed to get a golden affix when I upgrade!
Chapter 43 Senior, are you even human?
The sound of water came from behind the canvas.
Xiao Zheng sat with his back to the screen, turning over the meat in the barbecue grill.
The finest deep-sea meat sizzled and dripped oil over the flames, its aroma wafting on the sea breeze.
He flipped the steak over.
With a "whoosh," water splashed onto the wooden planks from behind the canvas.
Xiao Zheng's hand paused.
Taking a shower is like going to war.
He turned his attention back to the grill.
Then the sound of water came from behind the canvas. It wasn't splashing, it was being poured.
The rhythm of the water flowing onto the wooden board was intermittent.
Xiao Zheng stood up and walked to the westernmost part of the deck.
He picked up the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow and aimed it at the sea.
The further away from the screen, the better.
He was planning the next flight path.
The compass is pointing in the right direction, but the distance to the next island is still uncertain.
The Dragon Blood Fruit Tree's mutation progress is only 12%, and it can only be catalyzed once a day. It hasn't been catalyzed yet today, so we'll talk about it later.
What we need most right now are armor blueprints.
The four pieces of fine-grade armored lizard hide are ready to be dried; once you have the blueprint, you can forge heavy armor.
When I have time, I'll use the 100% accurate targeted search tool to do a round.
"Senior."
A voice came from behind me.
Xiao Zheng did not turn around.
"Finished washing?"
"Um……"
Lin Xiaoya's voice was hesitant.
Do you have any spare clothes?
Xiao Zheng put down the repeating crossbow.
He walked over to the supply box and rummaged through it, pulling out a spare shirt from the bottom.
Dark gray, cotton, daily necessities that I got from a treasure chest before.
He carried the clothes to the screen, turned his head to the side, and reached his arm into the gap in the canvas.
"then."
The clothes were ripped off.
"Don't peek!"
"Are my eyes on the back of my head?"
There was a two-second silence inside.
The rustling sound of clothes being put on could be heard.
Xiao Zheng walked back to the barbecue grill.
The meat was roasted perfectly, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a bluish-green sheen on the cut surface.
He placed the chops into a wooden tray and set them aside to dry on the rack.
The canvas was lifted.
Lin Xiaoya came out.
Xiao Zheng's dark gray shirt was two sizes too big on her.
The hem of her dress reached mid-thigh, and the sleeves, rolled up three times, were still bunched up above her wrists.
The collar was loosely open.
Wet hair clung to her cheeks, water droplets dripping from the ends and spreading a dark color on the shoulders of her shirt.
She stood barefoot on the deck, her toes unconsciously curling up.
She has long legs.
Xiao Zheng glanced at it and then looked away.
"Come and eat something."
Lin Xiaoya walked quickly over and sat down next to the barbecue grill.
She pulled her legs together at her sides, pressing the hem of her shirt tightly with her hands.
In the firelight, the blush on her face had not yet faded completely.
Xiao Zheng pushed the wooden tray over.
"Premium deep-sea meat."
Lin Xiaoya looked down at the pork chops on the plate.
Blue veins flowed in the firelight, and the aroma of meat filled the air.
She didn't move.
"Senior."
"Um?"
"This dress..." she tugged at the neckline, "is too big."
"You can wear your own. It's just see-through."
Lin Xiaoya glared at him.
I picked up the steak and took a big bite.
Tender.
The juice bursts between your teeth, carrying a refreshing sweetness.
This is a completely different world from when she used to eat hard bread.
My eyes are sore.
"Is it good?" Xiao Zheng asked.
Lin Xiaoya nodded vigorously, her cheeks puffed out.
"Swallow it first and then talk about it."
Lin Xiaoya swallowed the meat in her mouth.
Am I dreaming?
"What kind of dream are you having?"
"I didn't dare close my eyes while sleeping yesterday."
She said in a low voice.
"Now I have meat to eat, fresh water to drink, and a fire to roast... and there's even a screen for me to bathe in."
Xiao Zheng added a piece of wood to the barbecue grill.
Flames leaped high, and warmth spread.
"Eat first, then you can be sentimental."
Lin Xiaoya stopped crying and started laughing, continuing to eat the pork chop.
After finishing a whole piece of high-quality beast meat, a system notification appeared.
[Permanently +1 to Constitution]
She froze, looking down at her hands.
"This is outrageous! Your stats increase just from eating a meal?"
"Eat another piece tomorrow and it'll increase my health even more." Xiao Zheng leaned against the supply box. "It can be stacked five times in total."
Lin Xiaoya swallowed three pieces of beast meat in a row.
The system prompts that if you fire three times in a row, your physique will be permanently increased by three.
She licked the oil off her fingers and stared blankly at the empty wooden tray.
After Xiao Zheng finished cleaning up the barbecue grill, he put the remaining meat into the storage box.
Come here.
Lin Xiaoya quickly got up and followed.
The two walked to the planting area on the east side of the deck.
Four large planting boxes were lined up in a row.
The jadeite cabbage had just been harvested, and the stubble remained in the soil.
The branches and leaves of the Jade Coconut Tree are outstretched, and a cool white light flows between the leaves.
The banana tree was hanging with a bunch of nearly ripe bananas.
The one furthest inside is a dragon's blood fruit tree.
Red veins meander slowly along the surface of the tree trunk, while the tips of the branches gleam with a faint orange glow.
Lin Xiaoya stared at the tree.
"The red line above is moving."
Xiao Zheng did not respond.
He walked up to the dragon blood fruit tree, stretched out his right hand, and placed his palm on the trunk.
A thought crossed my mind.
The golden entry "All Things Grow" is activated.
Pale golden light seeped from the palm of his hand and climbed up the tree trunk.
The light seeped into the tree bark.
The dragon blood fruit tree trembled violently.
The branches stretched outwards wildly, and the new leaves all opened up within two seconds.
The red veins on the tree trunk deepened in color, and the speed of movement doubled.
The entire tree visibly swelled up.
A rich, sweet aroma filled the air.
A system notification appears.
[Dragon Blood Fruit Tree Mutation Progress: 12% → 17%]
Five percentage points.
Xiao Zheng withdrew his hand and flicked his fingers.
Today's catalytic activations have been used up.
He turned his head.
Xiao Zheng withdrew his hand and flicked his fingers.
Today's catalytic activations have been used up.
He turned his head.
Lin Xiaoya stared intently at the tree trunk, her throat dry.
She pointed at Xiao Zheng's hand, then at the tree.
"Your hands were glowing just now... and the tree grew?"
"Um."
Lin Xiaoya felt a chill run down her spine.
"What else could this be but a superpower?"
Xiao Zheng leaned against the planting box, his expression calm.
"I guess so. There are a lot of things I've kept from you."
Lin Xiaoya looked down at the cold jade coconut tree, then at the roots of the emerald ice jade cabbage.
A line vaguely connected in my mind.
"These mutated plants...were all artificially ripened?"
"almost."
"Cabbage too?"
"You gave me the seed."
Lin Xiaoya shut her mouth completely.
She gave him fifty ordinary cabbage seeds.
What he brought back was an excellent-grade jadeite ice cabbage that could permanently improve attributes.
This method has exceeded the limits of her understanding.
Xiao Zheng walked to the north side of the deck and picked up a plastic hook.
"Come here, let me look at something else."
Lin Xiaoya followed blankly.
Xiao Zheng stood on the edge of the deck, holding a plastic hook, with his eyes closed.
Mind lock.
Armor blueprints.
The mind can cover a 300-meter area of the sea.
Xiao Zheng flicked his wrist, and the plastic hook flew out of his hand.
The hook abruptly veered in mid-air and plunged straight down into the sea, two hundred meters away.
The rope stretched out and hummed.
Three seconds later, the rope tightened.
Xiao Zheng exerted force with one hand.
A wooden barrel soaked in seawater flew through the waves and landed precisely on the deck.
The lid popped open.
Inside were twelve units of rope and three metal plates.
Lin Xiaoya stared at the wooden bucket, her hands and feet turning cold.
"This hook can fly two hundred meters by itself to find something?"
"right."
"Can it pull itself back?"
"Um."
Lin Xiaoya remained silent for a moment.
"Senior, are you even human?"
"If you're not human, how dare you live with me?"
