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

It didn't matter when I was alone.

But now it's different.

Even with the added boost from the beast meat, Lin Xiaoya's physique would only have a maximum of a dozen points.

Such intense sun exposure would cause heatstroke in less than a morning.

not to mention.

He glanced at the canvas scattered on the deck and the clothes in the corner.

They lived in the open air, without any shelter.

Sunburn during the day, freezing at night, with absolutely no privacy.

We must build a house.

Xiao Zheng glanced down.

Lin Xiaoya lay on top of him, fast asleep, her cheek pressed against his chest, her mouth slightly open.

The shirt slipped off the shoulders, exposing most of the back to the scorching sun. The skin was red, and if it stayed in the sun any longer, it would peel.

He reached out and patted the shapely curve of her waist.

The force was neither too light nor too heavy.

Lin Xiaoya snorted and refused to wake up.

Xiao Zheng patted it again.

"stand up."

Lin Xiaoya slept for a moment, then mumbled, "Sleep... for another five minutes..."

"If I don't get up soon, my shoulders will peel from the sun."

Lin Xiaoya finally propped herself up, squinting to adjust to the glaring sunlight.

The next second, she looked down and saw the position she was in, lying on top of Xiao Zheng, then saw her shirt askew, the scattered canvas blanket, and two buttons that had popped off the deck...

He instantly became fully awake.

His face suddenly burned.

She frantically pulled at her clothes, tugged at her collar, and grabbed the blanket, her movements so hurried she almost rolled off the bed.

Xiao Zheng grabbed her arm and steadied her.

"Don't fall."

"How...how long have you been up!"

"Just woke up."

Lin Xiaoya didn't dare to look at him, buried her head and slipped off the bed. Her bare feet touched the deck and got burned, so she pulled back.

Xiao Zheng had already gotten out of bed and walked towards the control panel.

Wash your face. Eat breakfast.

Lin Xiaoya hugged the canvas blanket, covered her face, and stood there for a long time before awkwardly taking steps to hide behind the screen.

The sound of water splashing on my face lasted for two minutes.

When she came out, Xiao Zheng was already squatting next to the perfect barbecue grill.

Three pieces of premium deep-sea meat were arranged on the grill, their surfaces quickly tightening. The fat seeped out, dripping onto the flames and sizzling.

The aroma of meat spread, overpowering the salty, fishy smell of the sea breeze.

Xiao Zheng then took a cold jade coconut, poked it with the end of his spear, cracked the shell, and poured the cool coconut juice into two wooden cups.

"Please sit down."

Lin Xiaoya sat down next to the barbecue grill.

The two people squatted there, each holding a piece of sizzling, oily meat and gnawing on it.

The meat is firm, juicy, and has a savory flavor that hits you right in the throat.

Lin Xiaoya ate until her cheeks were bulging, then took a sip of the cold jade coconut juice, which was sweet and refreshing, instantly relieving any greasiness.

After swallowing a mouthful of meat, she casually raised the back of her hand and rubbed it against Xiao Zheng's face.

"You have oil here."

She brushed the back of her hand against his lips and paused for a moment.

Xiao Zheng turned his head to look at her.

Lin Xiaoya withdrew her hand, lowered her head and continued to gnaw on the meat, her ears turning bright red.

Neither of them spoke again, and they quietly finished their breakfast.

Lin Xiaoya finished the last sip of coconut juice and let out a comfortable sigh.

"Senior, I don't think this is about survival. This is about vacation."

"No work on vacation." Xiao Zheng stood up and clapped his hands. "Come with me."

The two walked to the planting area on the east side.

Four large planting boxes were lined up in a row.

The Jadeite Cabbage had already been harvested once, leaving only the stubble. The Dragon Blood Fruit stood in the center of the box, its branches thick and its dark red leaves clearly veined.

Xiao Zheng stood in front of the dragon blood fruit tree and stretched out his right hand.

Golden light emanated from his palm.

The light enveloped the tree canopy, the branches trembled slightly, and a layer of extremely fine red veins appeared on the edges of the leaves, while pale golden veins emerged on the surface of the bark.

The mutation progress jumps directly during catalysis.

30%.

Xiao Zheng stopped.

Once a day.

He turned to the cabbage planting box next to him and activated his power again.

A flash of golden light.

The seeds in the soil completed the entire process of germination, leaf emergence, and bulb formation within three minutes.

The box was filled with twelve jade cabbages, their leaves glossy green and covered with a layer of fine, ice-crystal-like water droplets.

Lin Xiaoya stood by the side the whole time.

I squatted down, picked one, and weighed it in my hand.

"Three minutes."

"Um."

"From seed to cabbage, in three minutes."

You'll get used to it.

"I can't learn it."

She stood there, holding the cabbage, stunned for a long time, then turned to stare at the dragon fruit tree. Two more buds had sprouted on the branches than yesterday, faintly glowing with an orange-red luster.

Xiao Zheng didn't give her any more time to space out.

The sun climbed higher and higher.

The deck temperature continued to rise, and it was already painful to walk on barefoot.

Xiao Zheng was covered in sweat, his T-shirt sticking to his back.

Lin Xiaoya's shoulders and back were sunburned even more, and she would hide under the shade of the tree next to the planting box every few minutes.

But that little bit of shade wasn't even enough to completely cover one person.

If the sunshade problem isn't solved, Lin Xiaoya will suffer from heatstroke in less than half a day.

Xiao Zheng walked to the edge of the deck and picked up a plastic hook.

My mind is locked on one thing: house plans.

The hook is thrown out.

It fell onto the raft.

This indicates that the resource spawn pools in this sea area do not drop any house blueprints.

If the salvage operation fails, there's only one option left.

transaction.

Xiao Zheng put away the plastic hook and opened the area chat channel.

The screen was filled with wails of agony.

"It's the fourth day! The sun is scorching! Is there anything to provide shade?"

The screen was filled with wails of agony.

"It's the fourth day! The sun is scorching! Is there anything to provide shade?"

"My teammate just died from the heat. The raft was only ten square meters, with not a single tree or blade of grass. He was roasted to death on the deck..."

"Does anyone have palm leaves? I'll replace as many planks as I need! I'll even build a shed!"

"Hungry...thirsty...hot...is this game even letting people live?"

Temperatures rose sharply.

Yesterday it was freezing cold, today it's scorching hot.

The weather system in this game is truly unbearable.

Xiao Zheng turned off the channel and opened the trading hall.

He walked to the storage box and took out the raw meat he had skinned from the armored sea lizard the day before.

Premium quality meat.

There are more people in the entire region who can produce items of this caliber than you can count on your fingers.

Xiao Zheng hung the three pieces of animal meat on the trading hall.

The annotation column contained only one line of text:

"3 pieces of premium armored sea lizard meat. Consuming it will boost your stats! Only exchange for blueprints for two-story wooden houses or higher-level buildings. Do not exchange for anything else."

Hang up.

He leaned against the control panel, waiting.

Less than ten seconds.

The regional channels were completely overwhelmed.

"What the hell? Premium armored sea lizard meat???"

"What kind of monster is the Armored Sea Lizard? I've never seen one before!"

"He wants to change the blueprints for a two-story wooden house???"

"We're just asking for a drink of water, and this guy's already planning a seaside villa??"

"Some are dying of drought, others are dying of flooding!"

"Well said... then I might as well go die."

"Don't be impulsive upstairs, let's huddle together for warmth... no, let's huddle together to cool off."

The channel is flooded with messages so fast that the text is illegible.

Xiao Zheng's private chat window was simultaneously overwhelmed.

"Hey bro! Want some blueprints for a thatched hut? It'll let in the wind, but at least it'll block out the sun!"

Swipe away.

"Tent blueprints! Two square meters! Enough for one person to sleep! Want to trade?"

Swipe away.

"A simple awning! I designed it myself! It's not a blueprint, but I can teach you how to build it!"

Swipe away.

Articles four through fifteen are all of the same kind.

Thatched hut. Tent. Sunshade. Palm leaf panel.

None of them are watchable.
