Wang Yu could use Dice to increase item quantities again.
He carried three one-meter-long logs from the Second Floor of Shelter down to the first floor and tied them together.
Wang Yu wanted to increase the quantity of these three logs.
Although the second floor of his shelter was now piled high with logs, they would eventually all burn up.
Wang Yu decided to use Dice to increase the quantity of these logs, just as he had with the firewood, before burning them. That way, he would have plenty of fuel.
He rolled the Dice.
Four.
He rolled a four.
He had one bundle of three logs and increased it by four bundles, giving him twelve more logs.
Wang Yu carefully took out the four bundles. Twelve one-meter-long logs appeared on the first floor, bringing the total to fifteen.
Wang Yu stacked the logs neatly on the first floor. Fortunately, it was large enough that they didn't make the place feel cramped.
The fifteen one-meter-long logs on the first floor would last him a long time.
Next, he needed to split them all into firewood and dry it by the fireplace. Dried firewood would burn better.
Before that, Wang Yu wanted to make a few other things out of wood.
He planned to spend some of his free time on this rainy day making furniture and household items to improve his quality of life.
First, he would make a table and chairs, then some bowls, chopsticks, spoons, cutting boards, plates, and other things.
Once he'd decided, Wang Yu took out the Small Hacksaw and some logs and got to work.
By noon, he had made a one-meter-long table and a stool.
He'd have a dining table to eat at from now on, and he could also put things on it.
He'd also have a stool to sit on.
At noon, it was time for lunch.
Lunch was lamb soup again, along with some berries.
He had far too many berries—around 170 pounds still.
He'd traded away ten pounds of berries today, but he still had around fifty pounds in Two Large Baskets that wouldn't fit in his Backpack and had to be left outside.
If he didn't deal with them in the next few days, they would probably spoil.
Other players were worrying about not having enough food, while he was worrying about having too much.
It would be a shame if all fifty pounds of berries went bad.
Wang Yu racked his brain, trying to figure out what to do with them.
At last, he came up with a solution.
He listed the fifty pounds of berries on the Trading Channel. That way, they wouldn't spoil.
The Trading Channel's storage space was much like the Backpack.
It was a good place to keep food fresh.
[System Prompt: Player Wang Yu listed 25 kg of berries on the Trading Channel.]
A system message appeared in the Chat Channel.
Fifty pounds of berries?
Players hurried to open the Trading Channel and take a look.
[Berries, 25 kg] [Trade Request: None.]
The other players were baffled.
[What's going on? What does "Trade Request: None" mean?] [It's that guy Wang Yu again. Is he showing off that he has fifty pounds of berries?] [Exactly. He listed fifty pounds of berries without asking for anything in exchange. What else could that be but a blatant show-off? This is so damn infuriating.]
Many players started venting in the Chat Channel, and Internet Celebrity Brother Feng chimed in too.
[Jia Feng: I think this player's Backpack is full, so there's no room for anything else. He listed the berries on the Trading Channel to keep them fresh.] [Brother Feng, that's ridiculous. Are you saying his Backpack is full of food? And that he listed fifty pounds of berries just to keep them fresh?] [If Brother Feng's right and he has nowhere to put fifty pounds of berries, just how much food does he have?]
Wang Yu had found a proper way to store the fifty pounds of berries. It would've been a shame to let so many go bad.
If no one traded for them, the berries on the Trading Channel would stay listed indefinitely, letting him exploit a game bug.
But there was a cost. There was only one listing slot on the Trading Channel.
Since he'd occupied it, he'd have to take the Two Large Baskets of berries down before he could list anything else for sale.
And while the slot was occupied, he couldn't trade items with other people either.
So exploiting a game bug wasn't that easy.
After lunch, Wang Yu rested for a little over an hour, then started making bowls, chopsticks, and other small things.
Making a bowl out of wood was easy. He hollowed out the center of a piece of wood, then burned the hollow bigger with hot coals. Finally, he sanded down the charred parts, and the Wooden Bowl was done.
Chopsticks were even easier: just two wooden sticks.
A little after three in the afternoon, he could use Dice to increase item quantities again.
Wang Yu took out twenty Wild Rat Skins. They were all from the 20 Wild Rats caught in his twelve Animal Traps, and he wanted to increase their quantity.
First, he stacked the twenty Wild Rat Skins and tied them together with Vines.
He rolled the Dice.
Four.
He rolled a four, increasing the stack of Wild Rat Skins by four.
Wang Yu took out all the skins. Dice had increased them by eighty, giving him exactly one hundred Wild Rat Skins in total.
Wang Yu was very satisfied with the result.
He opened the Friend List, found Su Qingxue's name, and sent her a message.
He couldn't stop thinking about the Extraordinary Item she'd mentioned. He'd increased the quantity of his Wild Rat Skins because he wanted to trade them for one.
[Wang Yu: Are you there?]
Su Qingxue replied shortly.
[Su Qingxue: I'm here.]
[Wang Yu: I have three units of animal hide. I'd like to trade them for an Extraordinary Item.]
[Su Qingxue: Okay.]
[Wang Yu: Let's look at each other's items first.]
[Su Qingxue: Sure.]
Wang Yu took the Two Large Baskets of berries off the Trading Channel, then listed sixty Wild Rat Skins and sent Su Qingxue a Trade Request.
A moment later, Su Qingxue listed an item.
Wang Yu immediately clicked to inspect it.
A grayish-white eye?
A Prompt Message popped up.
[Cat Eye] [Extraordinary Item. Can transform into a mount for one hour. Cooldown Time: 24 hours.]
Wang Yu was both excited and puzzled by the Prompt Message. He was excited that she'd actually offered an Extraordinary Item for trade, but puzzled about what it was for.
All he could do was message Su Qingxue.
[Wang Yu: I saw the description. What exactly does this thing do?]
[Su Qingxue: It's a Support Type item. Once it transforms, it can serve as a mount.]
A mount?
Wang Yu understood. When he'd met Su Qingxue yesterday, she'd been riding a majestic Big Cat.
The Cat Eye could probably transform into a Big Cat like that.
[Wang Yu: The Prompt Message says it only stays transformed for one hour?]
[Su Qingxue: Yes. The mount can travel thirty kilometers in that hour.]
[Wang Yu: Only thirty kilometers? That's not much.]
[Su Qingxue: You're trading sixty rat skins for an Extraordinary Item. What more do you expect?]
[Wang Yu: Fine. I'll trade.]
