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

This is where dreams begin, and where dreams come true.

At the edge of the raft, the remains of two Naga were emitting white smoke.

The blue-ringed venom was slowly corroding their scales from the inside.

Xiao Zheng squatted down and casually picked up a trident from the ground.

The three-pronged blade is dark blue and feels cool to the touch.

It was heavy, but in the face of his nearly one hundred points of strength, it was as light as a stick.

[Identification Technique] Activated.

【Superior Grade - Deep Sea Trident】

Grade: Excellent (Green)

Attributes: Requires 65 Strength, has water penetration effect, and deals an additional 30% damage to aquatic creatures.

The other one is the same size.

Xiao Zheng put the two tridents into his backpack and then pulled out a bunch of dark blue scales from the skeleton.

Each piece is the size of a palm and has a hardness comparable to stainless steel.

As he stuffed it into his backpack, his fingers touched a thin plate inside the skeletal chest cavity that emitted a faint purple glow.

It is a semi-transparent illustration.

Xiao Zheng drew it out, and the Appraisal Technique was triggered again.

[Perfect Grade Ocean Encyclopedia]

Grade: Perfect (Purple)

Effects: When linked with a compass, the detection range of the 3D holographic map can be extended from a radius of one kilometer to one hundred nautical miles. It automatically labels the hazard level, resource distribution, and biological community information of known sea areas.

Xiao Zheng was stunned for a second.

One hundred nautical miles.

The previous compass map only covered a range of one kilometer; beyond that, it was pitch black, making it practically blind.

This thing expanded his horizons a hundredfold.

He immediately took out his compass and attached it to the map.

The moment the two objects came into contact, a flash of purple light appeared, and a ring of extremely fine lines appeared on the surface of the compass.

Xiao Zheng activates the holographic projection.

The 3D sea map, which could only illuminate a small area, suddenly expanded wildly in all directions!

The densely packed information about the sea area filled the half-meter space in front of Xiao Zheng.

Undercurrents, deep-sea trenches, shallow reefs, and areas where mutated organisms gather are all clearly marked with different colors.

Twenty nautical miles to the south, an orange marker is slowly moving.

Label information: [Excellent marine mammal herd - currently migrating].

……

Xiao Zheng turned off the projector and put away the compass.

The blueprint for the deep-sea palace needs to be built in a suitable location. The text on the ancient treasure map has not yet been deciphered, but with this ocean guide, at least we won't be blind at sea anymore.

He stood up, kicked the remaining corpses on the deck into the sea, and rinsed the ground with seawater.

By the time we finished, the sky was already beginning to lighten.

Xiao Zheng turned around and walked into the first floor of the wooden house, passing the loom and water purifier, and went up the stairs.

At the end of the second-floor corridor, the door to the master bedroom was ajar.

He pushed the door open and went in.

Lin Xiaoya huddled on the bed, wrapped tightly in the blanket, with only her forehead and a tuft of hair showing.

Lingxi was curled up in a small ball on the sofa cushion by the window, breathing evenly.

The rooftop solar panels provide continuous power at night, and the perfect refrigerator runs quietly, with wisps of cold air blowing out from the vents.

Lin Xiaoya stirred and groggily turned over.

The blanket slipped down halfway, and a cold wind swept across her exposed shoulders.

She jolted awake and sat bolt upright in bed.

"Ouch—it's so cold!"

She rubbed her arms and instinctively reached for the blanket, but her hand froze as soon as it touched the fabric.

There is a light overhead.

The lights are on.

Warm yellow light filled the entire room, the refrigerator in the corner hummed, and a cool breeze blew out of the vent.

Lin Xiaoya was stunned for a full three seconds.

"This...it has power??"

Her voice suddenly rose, waking Lingxi, who was on the sofa.

Lingxi propped herself up and sat up, her hair disheveled, her eyes glazed as she scanned the room.

She was stunned when she saw the light above her head.

"This...the sun?"

"It's not the sun, it's an electric light!"

Lin Xiaoya jumped off the bed barefoot, ran to the wall light switch, and pressed it twice. The light went out and came on again, then went out again.

She turned to look at Lingxi, her face flushed with excitement.

"There's power! There really is power! The refrigerator is working too!"

Lingxi tilted her head, clearly not quite understanding the concept of "electricity," but she felt the cool air blowing from the refrigerator and reached out to touch the air vent.

"It's so cool."

"This is air conditioning! This is a refrigerator!"

Lin Xiaoya circled the refrigerator twice, then ran to touch the wall lamp in the corridor, and then ran back to lean on the windowsill to look outside.

On the rooftop, solar panels reflect a soft light in the morning sun.

She turned her head and shouted downstairs.

"Senior! Were you faking it?!"

No one responded.

She quickly ran downstairs, circled around the first floor, and saw a figure squatting next to the barbecue grill.

Xiao Zheng is pouring water into the pot.

"I installed it last night."

Without even looking up, he threw the swordfish slices, crab roe, and a few slices of cold jade coconut meat stored in the refrigerator into the pot.

Another handful of white rice, which I had traded with other players before, but I hadn't been able to bear eating it, so I poured it all in this time.

The perfect barbecue grill has automatic temperature control, and as the pot bubbles and steams, the aroma fills the entire deck in seconds.

Lin Xiaoya peeked half her body out from the stairwell.

"Senior, where are the pursuers?"

"He's dead."

"...Just...died?"

"It's just a matter of two poisoned arrows."

Lin Xiaoya jogged over, squatted down next to him, glanced at the porridge in the pot, and swallowed.

"Senior, didn't you sleep all night?"

"I slept for a while."

I didn't sleep.

Lin Xiaoya looked at his profile, opened her mouth, but didn't ask any further questions.

Lingxi also came downstairs, walked barefoot onto the deck, and squatted down properly beside the two of them.

"Lord Xiao Zheng, although the pursuers are dead, Helian Cang will not give up."

She kept her head down and spoke very softly.

"They will continue to send people following the bloodline imprint. Next time, they might be even stronger."

Xiao Zheng scooped up a spoonful of porridge, blew on it, and didn't even look at her.

"Kill them one by one."

Lingxi looked up and met his nonchalant expression, swallowing back the rest of her words.

The three people were eating porridge around the barbecue grill on the deck.

The crab roe seafood congee was so rich and flavorful that it was almost cloying. Lin Xiaoya drank three bowls in a row. Ling tide ate more elegantly, but she still cleaned the bottom of her bowl thoroughly.

After finishing the meal, Lin Xiaoya took the initiative to clear the dishes.

Xiao Zheng leaned against the mast and casually opened the area chat channel.

The messages in the channel were the same as always—people asking for supplies, selling blueprints, cursing the heavens and the earth, and occasionally a few death announcements.

Xiao Zheng scrolled down listlessly.

Suddenly, his fingers stopped.

A message was displayed at the top of the chat channel, followed by hundreds of replies.

[Xia Wanting]: Please, kind people, I have a fever, so high I can't even stand up... Can anyone give me a drink of clean water? I'll give anything for it, I have a copper key, I don't know if it'll be of any use... Please, please...

Following the updates has never been so enjoyable.
