Wood for Chicken, Huge Profit!

In the game, some versions of mushrooms cannot be eaten directly.

They must be cooked into Mushroom Soup at a Crafting Table to become food.

However, in Block Civilization, this is not an issue, and mushrooms can be eaten directly.

It's just that the Satiety they restore is extremely limited, with each one recovering one segment.

It must also be a brown mushroom, which signifies it's non-toxic. Red mushrooms, if eaten without cooking, will not restore Satiety but will cause poisoning and deduct health.

Casually eating two mushrooms to fill his stomach, Park Sam-chang sat on a mushroom block.

The rules informed him that he had to upgrade his Block, and he knew clearly that to defend against the monsters at night, he had to strengthen himself.

But the island's resources truly made him feel powerless.

There were only mushrooms, and even the blocks would turn into mushrooms after being broken, making it impossible to use them as stepping stones to reach the outside.

This situation left Park Sam-chang with nothing to do but sit and rest.

He remained very calm about this.

Civilization was certainly dangerous, but it couldn't be entirely a dead end; there had to be a glimmer of hope for them.

Before the opportunity arrived, he just needed to conserve his strength!

Park Sam-chang wasn't the only one with this thought.

Most of the other contestants had also suffered similar setbacks and were now choosing to wait and see.

Pumpkin House.

"Come on, Jet, let's turn these pumpkins into pumpkin pie!"

This first choice allowed Mark to select the island with the richest resources.

Not only were there pumpkins, chickens, and sugarcane, which provided the ingredients for making pumpkin pie, but also Raw Stone, Lava, water sources, and many other items.

All that was needed were eggs and pumpkins, and then adding the sugar extracted from the sugarcane. A batch of pumpkin pie was completed.

"Thank God!"

The sweet taste exploded in his mouth, and Jet was glad he knew how to make pumpkin pie and sugar.

After filling their bellies, they encountered the same problem as Park Sam-chang.

Without a Crafting Table, they couldn't develop further.

"I believe the monsters at night are the first test. We should conserve our stamina and food for now!"

Large Civilizations couldn't be that simple. Jet made a judgment as a Veteran Player.

Although pumpkin pie was delicious, sugarcane and eggs were relatively scarce. Finding more food in a short time required another approach.

So, Jet turned his attention to the chickens on the island.

Thanks to the block characteristics, there was no distinction between male and female animals here; just two were needed to breed an infinite number.

With a total of five chickens, Jet killed three of them, obtaining feathers and Raw Chicken Meat.

"Chickens are very precious creatures. Their feathers can be used to make arrows."

Putting away the feathers, he looked at the Furnace that came with the dirt house.

Cooked meat often provided more Satiety than raw meat, and a Furnace was a tool that could cook food.

"We need materials to start a fire. Do we have wood or coal on our island?"

Scanning his surroundings, Mark's eyes lit up.

There was no coal, but next to the dirt house stood the island's only half-standing tree!

Trading useless Wood for edible Chicken Meat was a huge profit!

Without a second thought, Mark stepped forward and knocked it down, placing it in the Furnace. A faint warmth emanated from the Furnace.

Soon, the Logs were consumed, and three pieces of Cooked Chicken Meat were obtained.

"It would be even better if we had a Crafting Table, but even so, our progress is still far ahead of everyone else!"

Looking at the Block Score, there was a line of small text below.

[Current Block Comprehensive Score: 3 (Micro Block)]

[Player Rank: 1]

Among all the contestants, they had the highest initial score and the highest rank!

Mark was overjoyed.

On the first day of entering the island, with full Satiety, he had three pieces of Cooked Chicken Meat and four pumpkin pies in his backpack!

Who else could achieve this!

They just needed to wait for nightfall to easily crush the Zombie monsters.

This was the Sense of Oppression of a Veteran Player!

Outside the game, the Free Nation's audience erupted in a frenzy.

"Looks like the championship is ours again this time!"

"Plank for Chicken, we've earned so much!"

"With three points on the first day, who can compete with them, who can challenge them!"

"Free Nation, forever invincible!"

"God bless you, Mark, Jet, fight on!"

This is a Large Civilization, the rewards will undoubtedly be incomparably generous.

The current situation is looking bright. Once they win the championship, the Free Nation's strength will take a huge leap forward!

Unlike the Free Nation's situation, Kyushu appeared utterly dejected.

"Free Nation already has three points?"

"It's only the first day, are they cheating!"

"With so much food stored, they are indeed among the strongest players right now."

"Jet, are you serious? Night is the real test?"

"I can't even imagine the Monster Difficulty of a Large Civilization!"

The screen is connected to various devices, allowing the audience to check the status of players from all countries at any time.

Jet's speculation was quickly heard by everyone.

At the Kyushu Research Institute, researchers reported their findings.

"Dean, after our research, we believe the Free Nation player's judgment is highly likely to be correct."

"Night is the first trial for civilization!"

Looking at the screen, Dean Qi sighed.

Park Sam-chang's words made sense. A Crafting Table is important, but without resources, it's like waste paper.

With the Difficulty increased, the Monsters will definitely be stronger.

The Floating Island is such a confined space, it's impossible to engage in extensive combat!

"Dean Qi, regardless of whether the Monsters descend, I will fight until the very last moment!"

Fries stood ready, looking intently at the screen.

He really hoped Gu Yu could survive, but given the current situation.

He had to be prepared for the worst at all times!

Floating Island.

Saplings were evenly planted around the Floating Island.

Gu Yu observed his surroundings from the edge.

Besides Park Sam-chang's Mushroom Island, there were many other Floating Islands outside.

Because they were far away, he couldn't tell if there were any Players or what resources might exist.

Development was the most important thing in the early game.

Especially with competitors around, he couldn't afford to slack off.

Taking out Lava and Ice, Gu Yu decided to make the most crucial item for the early stage of Sky Island Survival.

First, he used Planks to make a ladder, then dug out eight blocks of Dirt.

He outlined a suitable area on the ground, placed the Lava inside, and blocked it off with Dirt.

Then he placed the ladder to the left and broke the Ice into water.

Park Sam-chang, in the distance, noticed Gu Yu's actions.

Sitting on a block, he sneered.

"With food so scarce, instead of resting, he's wasting his energy?"

"Stupid behavior!"

Without stamina, how could he possibly survive the night!

"Even though a bucket of water isn't much, it can be used for many things, and he's wasting it like this?"

"Idiot, he has no idea what he's doing!"

"Wooden ladder? He knows quite a bit, but does he think that can block Lava?"

"Could he be suicidal, wanting to jump into the Lava?"

"Let's see how he survives when the Lava overflows!"

Following Park Sam-chang's perspective, countless mocking voices emerged.

From the perspective of every player, they were all recuperating, only Gu Yu was busy.

In their eyes, it was simply foolish!

"Why would anyone put lava on the island?"

Dean Qi frowned, equally puzzled.

The scorching lava would destroy everything, and contact with it could take a Player's life at any moment.

After experts studied this resource, they found no value in it; it only served to increase the game's Difficulty.

Gu Yu's actions could be described as suicidal!

"No, wait!"

Fries was the first to notice something was wrong, pointing at the Screen and exclaiming.

"It's Stone!"
