State Recovery, Catching Fish and Making Pancakes

After a day of rest, my body has recovered a lot, and I have taken a big step closer to becoming a "normal person".

In the absence of advanced medical equipment and medicines, Su Mo was extremely satisfied with this recovery speed.

The clothes that were washed and hung up yesterday are now perfectly dry, swaying gently in the wind circulating in the shelter.

After changing into fresh clothes, Su Mo's mood improved.

"Looks like I'm destined to be a workaholic. I thought I could recuperate at the base, but I didn't expect to still be so busy!"

Outside the depression, there was no torrential rain like in other places, nor was there scorching sun.

A light drizzle was falling, like a misty dream, keeping the temperature at a very comfortable level.

Like a frog being slowly boiled in water, as the disaster draws ever closer, the daytime temperatures become more suitable for human survival, leading many to become blindly optimistic about the impending catastrophe.

Pushing open the garage door and letting the scent of fresh wood fill the air, Su Mo returned to the shelter. After a quick breakfast, he began preparing his fishing gear.

Although the lake is not large in area, it is still 40 acres in size and five meters deep, taking up a considerable amount of space.

The carp in the lake are sparse, and trying to catch them by going into the lake or fishing is too slow and doesn't even cover the labor costs.

After much deliberation, Su Mo finally set his sights on making fishing nets.

Fishing nets can be categorized by function into gillnets, trawl nets, seine nets, weaving nets, and slack nets.

The produced yarn must have good impact resistance, abrasion resistance, mesh size stability and softness, as well as appropriate elongation at break.

This material is not available in the shelter, so the system must be used to convert the material.

Sitting at the workbench, Su Mo took out plant fibers and began to seriously use the knotting method to make them. Although this method has problems such as loose knots and uneven mesh, it is indeed the best solution at present.

After some work, which took half an hour, the initial work on the fishing net was completed.

Compared to other things the system doesn't recognize, the system's recognition speed on the fishing net is quite fast, which also indirectly acknowledges Su Mo's powerful craftsmanship.

[Knotted Fishing Net (semi-finished product)]

[Description]: A fishing net made from plant fibers by a beginner craftsman named "Su Mo". It can only be worn, not used.

Upgrade Option 1: Change the material to Chemical Fiber Material, which will increase the flexibility of the fishing net to a certain extent, and at the same time improve the catch and chances of catching fish. Requires 125 Survival Points.

Upgrade Option 2: Change the material to Advanced Nylon, add an electric device to automatically attract fish into the net, requiring 280 Survival Points.

[Evaluation]: Wearing it may attract the attention of the same sex and gain their favorability.

"It's been so long since I've seen such affordable prices. Survival Points usually cost thousands or even tens of thousands of points, so seeing a price of one or two hundred feels really refreshing."

Both upgrade options for fishing nets are inexpensive, especially changing the material and improving the weaving method, which only require 125 points, making them even cheaper.

However, when it came to this choice, Su Mo didn't even think twice and directly chose option two.

Without a small boat, you can certainly catch fish by casting a net, but as I said before, it's a waste of time!

If this had happened ten days before the disaster, Su Mo might have upgraded to a handmade fishing net and slowly salvaged the fish.

But now, the time saved can be used to make more tools to sell, and who knows how much money can be made in the process! The green light flashed, and the colorful material of the fishing net began to change, gradually turning into a light gray nylon material.

Meanwhile, a small Electric Sonic Device was added to the center of the fishing net, which was used to attract carp to gather.

While the fishing net was being charged, Su Mo took advantage of the break to start making tools again, continuing until the light rain outside stopped and the sun came out and reached its zenith.

Su Mo's goal for his first tool sale is 100 Iron Pickaxe and 100 iron axes. He is now only 20 iron axes and 40 Iron Pickaxe picks away from achieving this.

Putting down his work and carrying the fully charged fishing net, Su Mo drove his Di Hu towards the lake without stopping.

After being moistened by a light rain and subjected to days of intense sunshine, the snow surface finally turned into solid ice. If Dihu hadn't been equipped with snow chains, it probably would have started to slip and lose control as soon as it drove off.

"Hopefully the secret realm won't open too far tomorrow, otherwise trading alone will be a problem!"

The trading rules for the secret realm have not yet been announced, but judging from the current weather, the last day should still be sunny, which is good news.

The twelve-kilometer journey passed in the blink of an eye. When Su Mo arrived at the lake, the carp were still swimming leisurely, seemingly unaware of Su Mo's unexpected arrival.

Su Mo took out a fishing net from his Storage Space, looked at the scattered carp below, chuckled, and pressed the switch on the middle device.

After a series of slightly piercing sounds, the noise gradually subsided, and just when Su Mo thought the device had malfunctioned, a miraculous scene unfolded.

The lakeside, where there weren't many carp to begin with, suddenly seemed to be summoned by something, and all the carp went wild.

Several carp even rushed ashore following the sound, rolling around in the snow, trying to get to the location of the sound.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Su Mo quickly took two steps back, gathered his strength, and cast the fishing net out.

This net was very heavy. At least after pulling it, Su Mo found that even he had difficulty pulling up the fishing net, which was full of fish and water. That's when the Earth Tiger made its grand entrance.

Hang one end of the fishing net on the bumper, start the carp reversing, and the carp that were fighting hard can only surrender and be pulled out of the lake.

After a rough count, Su Mo was astonished to find that there were already more than a hundred carp in the net, jumping and frolicking.

The smallest ones weigh at least 1.5 jin (750 grams), and the larger ones even weigh around 3 jin (1.5 kg).

"Wow, this sonic device seems to be Black Technology. I wonder if there are any similar fishing devices on Earth."

After marveling at the wonder of the system's Black Technology, Su Mo untied the fishing net, removed all the fish, and began the second round of fishing.

Following the same method, although the number of fish caught in the two fishing trips was only 240 or 250, the weight far exceeded the previous estimate.

"Carp don't taste good, but they are also more cold-resistant than other fish. Hopefully, they can survive this winter."

After collecting all the carp that had died from lack of oxygen after leaving the water, the first batch died on the ground into the Earth Tiger's Storage Space, and the fishing task was completed ahead of schedule when the second batch died!

At this point, all that remained for trading was flatbread.

Driving the Earth Tiger back to the shelter, Su Mo, smelling the strong fishy odor on his clothes, decided to soak his Combat Suit in Snow Water, close the door, and not go out!

Upon arriving at the Supply Room, after moving all the flour sacks to the kitchen, Su Mo began to study how to make pancakes in bulk.

The first question was about choosing between leavened and unleavened dough. Su Mo didn't hesitate much and chose to make Dead Dough Pancake.

It's not because Su Mo was lazy and didn't want to waste time with yeast, nor is it because the calories in leavened dough and unleavened dough are about the same for the same weight.

In contrast to unleavened dough, most of the starch in fermented dough has been converted into sugar, making it easier to digest and thus making you feel hungry faster.

Dead Dough Pancake is difficult to digest and contains a lot of undissolved starch. A small piece of it, of the same weight, is enough to provide a person with half a day's worth of calories.

As long as you stay still and warm, a large piece of Dead Dough Pancake and a potato are enough to "comfortably" get you through this cold winter.

Add water, knead the dough, heat the pot, and use a fan to remove the smoke.

Sitting in front of the pot, Su Mo stacked thick, golden-brown pancakes on the cutting board, leaving the three children staring in astonishment.

In the production process, Su Mo did not cut corners in the slightest. Apart from replacing the water used for the sold dough with settled Snow Water, he did not skimp on other seasonings such as Vegetable Oil, five-spice powder, and salt.

When selling items in a secret realm for the first time, honesty and reputation are key. Countless cases on Earth have proven this: even if you lose money in the early stages, you should try to build your brand. Once you establish a good reputation, most people won't care if you make some mistakes later.

In the post-apocalyptic wasteland, reputation is paramount! Only by ensuring everyone wants to trade can the base be expanded as much as possible and better items be collected. Even after baking a hundred pancakes, Su Mo still maintained his "conscience" in this regard! Baking pancakes wasn't tiring; there was plenty of wood, and the three-layered room was warm and cozy. Oreo, with Big and Little Spark everywhere, was comfortably lying down to the side, fast asleep.

The occasional whiff of the aroma of freshly baked flatbread, along with the constant drooling from the three children's mouths, betrayed their dishonesty.

With no need to go out and nothing to do, Su Mo simply took his programming textbook and sat by the stove, stealing a moment of leisure from his busy schedule.

While other aspects of the base can be delegated to others, the fire control and control systems are vital components that cannot be entrusted to others.

It's unclear whether the system can detect Su Mo fire control system upgrade, but it's best to be prepared.

Once we can find a computer when we enter the secret realm again, the fire control system can be put on the agenda immediately. At that time, the defense level of the shelter will be raised to another level, and we can even install some self-written systems in the Earth Tiger Car.

"Public static void main (String[]args)"

"System. out. println(hello world!)"

Sitting in front of the stove, with nothing to do, Su Mo became interested in the emerging field of programming and began to seriously recite the code aloud.

The flatbread in the pot is gradually taking shape, and everything is moving in the right direction. All we need to do is wait until we enter the secret realm tomorrow, and the Technology Tree in the shelter, which has been stagnant, will experience another explosive growth!
