Survival for all, my island is the last pure land on earth.

After the transaction was completed, Jin Xiaoman, led by the groundhog, quickly found a piece of ironwood.

Just like in the picture, the ironwood is completely black with clear wood grain. When you touch it, you can feel a cool sensation emanating from it.

Jin Xiaoman took out her dagger and tapped it twice, producing a clear, crisp sound, like the clash of metal.

Seeing this, the groundhog said nervously, "Sir, this ironwood is very difficult to deal with. A few years ago, a foolish wild boar ran into it and broke two of its tusks."

Jin Xiaoman smiled slightly, put away the dagger, and took out a chainsaw from her backpack: "Child, you know nothing about the power of money."

With the buzzing of the chainsaw, Tiemu quickly collapsed to the ground.

The groundhog slowly opened its mouth wide and exclaimed in surprise, "Wow!"

In its eyes, Jin Xiaoman's image became even more towering and majestic.

Jin Xiaoman raised her hand and closed the groundhog's jaw: "Come on, take me to the next one."

The groundhog ran ahead, leading the way: "My lord, this tree is rather thin, so you'd better be careful from here on out."

Jin Xiaoman thought the groundhog was too slow, so she simply picked it up and carried it on her shoulder.

Soon, the groundhog led Jin Xiaoman to the second tree, which was twice as thick as the first, so it took a little longer.

At the same time, Jin Xiaoman noticed that there were many scattered ironwood branches on the ground. Although she didn't know if the branches were useful, she picked them up and took them with her.

After searching for more than two hours, Jin Xiaoman finally found seventeen ironwood logs.

The groundhog said excitedly, "My lord, at this rate, with just one more day, you will be able to collect all the ironwood I know of."

Jin Xiaoman patted its fluffy head and gave it three snacks and water.

The groundhog left happily.

Jin Xiaoman rubbed her aching shoulders and had the fur ball teleport her back to the pond where she had first discovered it.

Strangely enough, even though the water resources here are refreshed, the water level in many places drops due to the dry season.

But the pond remained completely unaffected.

Jin Xiaoman walked along the pond for a while, then sat there in a daze, clutching her fur ball: "Has this pond gotten bigger?"

The fluffy ball tilted its head and said, "Chirp chirp."

Jin Xiaoman tapped its head: "If you know, you know; if you don't, you don't. What's 'Chirp Bell'? Stop trying to be cute."

The furry ball covered its head with its paws: "I've been living here all this time, but Lord Magistrate didn't find out first. I'm a little embarrassed."

"have a bee in one's bonnet."

Jin Xiaoman fed Maoqiu a piece of candy, took out the raft blueprints from her backpack, and decided to build one first and put it in the water to test it.

Soon, a jet-black wooden raft appeared before her.

The raft has a flat and wide surface, with its edges and corners polished to be square and solid. The wood has a hard grain, making it very stable to step on. It is unlikely that a normal current would wash it away.

Jin Xiaoman threw it into the pool and then jumped out herself.

Along with the raft, a paddle was also built.

Jin Xiaoman tried paddling on the pond for a while.

Although the raft looks heavy, it's not tiring to hold it by yourself, and it's easy to control the direction.

The only regret is that the fish in the water do indeed avoid the raft.

She had planned to fish on the raft, but now it seemed she would have to obediently return to shore.

Several days later, the fish here are still easy to catch; they take the bait very soon after it's been put down.

However, this fish seemed to be quite large. It suddenly exerted its strength, and Jin Xiaoman's fishing rod was instantly pulled to a full moon position, and the fishing line was frantically pulled into the pond water.

Jin Xiaoman used all her strength to pull backward, only to find that the other person did not move at all, while she herself was dragged forward two steps.

"I refuse to believe I can't pull a fish out of the water."

She stood up and rolled up her sleeves.

After a brief struggle, the fishing line suddenly went slack, and Jin Xiaoman was caught off guard and fell flat on her backside.

*Snap—*

A silverfish emerged from the water.

Compared to the silver moonfish caught before, this one was indeed larger, but Jin Xiaoman knew that the commotion just now could not have been caused by it.

She looked into the water but didn't find anything unusual, so she put the fish back in her backpack and pretended not to know anything to continue fishing.

Unfortunately, that noise never reappeared until the end of the workday.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Jin Xiaoman returned to the safe house on time: "Wow, Ye, I can already smell the aroma of food. Is it braised pork trotters with soybeans again tonight?"

Aye came out of the kitchen, made a shushing gesture, and pointed to the squirrel sleeping peacefully on a small cushion in the corner.

Jin Xiaoman asked, "What happened?"

"I don't know, I fell asleep as soon as I got back, I was probably just tired."

Jin Xiaoman nodded and softened her movements. After a quick wash, she opened her personal panel.

Based on her experience that afternoon, she deduced that building a raft would require five meters of ironwood and 100 kilograms of ironwood.

The ironwood was relatively easy to obtain, but the ironwood was something she couldn't accomplish alone.

She sent a message to her mother, "One Punch Three Hundred Tons": "Help me collect ironwood, two game coins per pound."

According to the shop's price, the raft should cost around 1000 game coins. She compromised and sold it for 500 game coins, which was within her acceptable range.

"My punch weighs 300 tons": [Do you have enough in-game currency to buy Ironwood?]

Money Plenty: [I'm fine, what's wrong?]

"Old Lady's Punch is 300 Tons": [Recently, the temperature has reached a high of 65 degrees Celsius. Many players have suffered from heatstroke and fainted even without sun exposure. If we take advantage of this situation and launch a cooling and heat-relieving herbal tea, we can generate a considerable amount of revenue.]

Money Flowing: [You've got an idea yet?]

My mother delivers a punch that feels like 300 tons, and then sends a photo.

[Cooling Grass: It grows in clumps close to the ground, reaching a height of several inches. Pick the plant and soak it in clean water for ten minutes. The water will infuse the grass with its cooling properties; consuming it can relieve summer heat and fatigue.]

Jin Xiaoman carefully observed the picture.

The cool grass grows very beautifully, with slender, four-sided stems and leaves that are semi-transparent light green, like glass filled with spring water. The leaves are opposite, with shallow serrations along the edges, small and round, and as tender as jade.

"My punch is worth 300 tons": [The only radiation I found was level four or five, unusable directly. I need your help. Same as always, we split it 20/80, I get 20, you get 80.]

Money Galore: [You found this, you searched for it. A 20/80 split isn't fair; let's split it 50/50.]

My punch is worth 300 tons: [No, if it really doesn't work out, just consider it my investment in the raft.]

Stop dawdling, it's settled then.

The player's mother, who delivers a punch that weighs 300 tons, generously gifted the player 3223 Cooling Grasses.

Seeing this, Jin Xiaoman stopped refusing.

"My punch weighs 300 tons": [A single cooling herb can make 1 liter of water. I'm pricing it at 1 game coin for 300ml. What do you think?]

Jin Xiaoman was far less sensitive to price than her mother, who could deliver a punch worth 300 tons; she simply gave a resounding affirmation.

After finalizing a few more details, the old lady, who said "one punch equals three hundred tons," hurriedly left.
