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

Xiao Zheng ignored her.

The hook flew out again.

This time it was even farther away, and the landing point was almost invisible.

The humming of the rope lasted for a full five seconds before it reached its limit.

Xiao Zheng planted his feet firmly on the deck, using his waist and back to exert force simultaneously.

A large wooden crate, half-submerged in the water, was forcibly pulled over, pushing aside two white splashes of water, and crashed with a "bang" against the edge of the deck.

The box contained forty planks of wood and eight pieces of glass.

Xiao Zheng cast the hook twice more.

The first time you pull the drifting barrel back, you will receive twenty palm leaves.

The second time they pulled back the small wooden box, they obtained six metal pieces and a roll of sanitary napkins.

All floating materials within 300 meters were cleaned up.

Xiao Zheng put away the plastic hooks and sorted the supplies into storage boxes according to their categories.

Lin Xiaoya stood to the side, not uttering a single word throughout.

"Not going to ask anymore?" Xiao Zheng looked at her.

"I wouldn't understand even if you asked."

Lin Xiaoya's tone was numb.

Following a senior who is beyond your comprehension is better than waiting to die alone at sea.

The sky grew completely dark.

The sea and sky merged into one large patch of dark blue.

The temperature dropped sharply.

Xiao Zheng added two pieces of wood to the barbecue grill.

Flames rose, and warmth once again filled the center of the deck.

He walked to the planting box and started a new crop of cabbages.

three minutes.

The jade cabbage is ripe.

After Xiao Zheng finished harvesting, he tossed two kernels to Lin Xiaoya.

Lin Xiaoya hugged the cabbage and started eating.

It's very juicy, and the sweet juice drips down the corners of my mouth.

My nerves, which had been tense for many days, completely relaxed at this moment.

The night wind swept across the sea, carrying a salty, damp coolness.

Lin Xiaoya shrank her neck and moved closer to the barbecue grill.

The oversized, dark gray shirt was extremely thin.

A sea breeze blew in, and the fabric clung directly to her body.

"Cold?" Xiao Zheng asked.

"fine."

Xiao Zheng stood up and stretched his shoulders.

"Get some rest early tonight. There's work to do tomorrow, and supplies won't wait."

Lin Xiaoya nodded.

She looked up and glanced around.

A deck of 100 square meters.

The east side is the planting area, where mutated crops gleam faintly.

The north side is a water purifier and material storage area.

The control panel is on the west side.

The barbecue grill is in the center.

In the southeast corner is a newly erected simple screen.

All facilities are available.

Finally, her gaze settled on the east side of the barbecue grill.

There was a high-quality wooden bed there.

Single-person size.

It was covered with a thick plant mattress.

There is only one.

Lin Xiaoya's gaze lingered on the bed.

She turned her head and looked at the bare deck.

Then he looked at Xiao Zheng, who was squatting next to the storage box organizing supplies.

A night breeze blew by.

Lin Xiaoya pulled her thin shirt collar tighter, her ears gradually burning.

There was nowhere else to lie down.

"Senior."

"Um."

"Only one bed?"

Xiao Zheng responded.

Lin Xiaoya stood up, walked to the corner of the deck, and bent down to pick up two large palm leaves.

"I'll just sleep on the floor, with two leaves on it..."

He was grabbed by the back of his collar.

Xiao Zheng pulled her back immediately.

The force was crisp and decisive.

With 73 points of strength, lifting a girl weighing just over 100 pounds is no problem at all.

Lin Xiaoya staggered two steps before he pressed her onto the wooden bed.

The mattress was made of palm leaves, and she sank into it completely.

Xiao Zheng grabbed a spare canvas blanket and covered her legs with it.

The edge of the canvas just covered the knee.

"Just go to sleep when I tell you to."

Lin Xiaoya looked up at him.

The man stood by the bed, the firelight shining from behind him, making him appear tall and heavy.

"So where will you sleep?"

"I'll keep watch."

Xiao Zheng turned and walked towards the edge of the deck, picking up the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow with one hand and the plastic hook with the other.

"Take advantage of the increased sea activity at night and fish out as many boxes as possible."

Welcome to the fantastical world of science fiction! The entrance is here:

"You won't die even if you don't sleep for three days."

He found a spot on the west side of the deck and sat down, resting the crossbow on his knees and wrapping the plastic hook rope around his wrist.

He had his back to her.

Lin Xiaoya lay on the bed, staring at his back.

The shirt was large, covering her entire body, and was filled with the lingering scent of Xiao Zheng.

There's sea salt, wood, and a faint smell of cooking.

Very reassuring.

She pulled the blanket up and buried her chin in the canvas.

"Senior."

"What's wrong now?"

"Did you have four jobs at the same time during your junior year of college?"

Xiao Zheng stopped his hook-throwing motion.

"Who told you that?"

"Xia Wanying".

Lin Xiaoya's voice came out in a muffled tone.

"She said you attend classes during the day, move goods in the backstreets at night, and deliver food and tutor on weekends. Nobody in the entire southern part of the city works harder than you."

Xiao Zheng threw the hook out.

"If you don't work, you won't eat. What's there to say?"

"But you're still in the top three of your grade."

"Top two."

Lin Xiaoya burst out laughing.

"You're not being modest at a time like this."

Xiao Zheng did not respond.

A cool night breeze blew in from the sea.

"Senior."

"Speak your mind."

Lin Xiaoya lay on her side looking at his back.

Why are you so good to me?

Xiao Zheng flipped his wrist, tightening the rope.

The water splashed with a "whoosh".

An ordinary wooden barrel was pulled up. It was disassembled; fifteen planks were inside.

"In places like this, there aren't many people you can trust."

He threw the plank into the supply box.

"You're one of them."

Lin Xiaoya buried her face completely in the blanket.

Xiao Zheng continued casting his hook.

He was planning his next steps.

Leave five pieces of beast meat for Lin Xiaoya to fully boost her constitution.

Six bone spikes were modified into twelve armor-piercing crossbow bolts, which, when combined with poison, could kill any enemy below the elite grade with a single shot.

Ironclad lizard skin is the most valuable item right now; we must obtain the blueprint.

He stretched his shoulders and turned his head to look back.

Lin Xiaoya was already asleep.

The blanket was kicked askew, with the lower leg sticking out and the ankle resting on the edge of the bed.

Xiao Zheng walked over.

I pulled the blanket back over me and tucked in the corners.

When I touched her calves, her skin was cold.

He pushed the barbecue grill one meter toward the wooden bed.

The firelight drew near.

Lin Xiaoya stirred in her sleep, instinctively shrinking towards the heat source.

Xiao Zheng turned around and walked back to the edge of the deck.

Night was falling.

He caught three more wooden buckets and took out more than forty planks and several pieces of metal.

The sea breeze is getting cooler.

He placed the crossbow on his lap and rubbed his hands together.

A body with a 71-point constitution is indeed resistant to cold, but that doesn't mean you can completely ignore the temperature.

"Senior?"

Lin Xiaoya's voice was hoarse from just waking up.

"You're still awake?"

"What time is it?"

"Two or three o'clock."

I heard the sound of a blanket being lifted behind me.

Lin Xiaoya walked up behind him and stood still.

"Go to sleep, senior."

"Not sleepy."

"Your neck is stiff; I saw you rub your hands together several times."

Xiao Zheng turned his head.

Lin Xiaoya was wearing an oversized shirt with a canvas draped over her shoulders.

The firelight gave her a warm glow.

"The bed is very big," Lin Xiaoya said.

The voice was very soft, but each word was very clear.

"Enough for two people to sleep in."

The waves lapped against the bottom of the raft.

Xiao Zheng looked at her.

Lin Xiaoya didn't dodge; the blush from her ears spread all the way to her temples.

She wrapped the blanket tighter around herself.

"I mean... you sleep at one end, I'll sleep at the other. We'll each have our own blankets. We can put... a planter box in the middle, that would be fine too."

"Dragon fruit trees are growing in the planting box."

"...Then what do you suggest we do?"

Lin Xiaoya raised her voice.
