Large-scale Trading Site

After eating his fill, Bick sat down and prepared to open the stone tablet to see the trading situation.

It didn't matter if he didn't open it. As soon as he opened the trade interface, a long list of trading information appeared.

[Trade]

[You have two successful trades. You have obtained hay x4!]

[You have three successful trades. You have obtained board x12!]

[You have one successful trade. You have obtained wooden board x4!]

...

Looking at the series of notifications, Bick was secretly delighted. With these wooden boards and hay, he could expand the wooden raft to about 1.5 times its original size.

At this time, the transaction information was still refreshing. Bick did not check it. Anyway, he could check it again when the transaction was completed.

Thinking of this, he opened the chat interface.

At this moment, the chat interface had exploded!

[Did you guys see it just now? Someone is buying wood planks and hay in large quantities!]

[That's not the main point. The main point is that the things he uses to trade wood planks and hay are precious fresh water, soil, and even cultivated soil!]

[I heard that someone obtained seeds or seedlings, but could not find soil. But how did this person have so much soil? It seems like 20 pieces of soil were hung up in an instant!]

"This must be a big shot!"

"But I heard that someone has already teamed up and formed a pirate fleet, specifically looking for this kind of well-developed player!"

"Someone as high-profile as him, he will definitely die if his location is found!"

...

In the entire chat interface, everyone was talking about themselves, but Bick was very calm. On the contrary, the information about the pirate fleet caught his attention.

He had grown so fat, and in the eyes of the pirates, he was a beautiful piece of meat. If they met him, they would definitely not let him go.

However... if they wanted to plunder his resources, they had to first ask these two spear launchers!

Bick smiled slightly, closed the chat interface, and opened the trade interface again.

At this time, all the items that he had hung up had been successfully traded. He had obtained enough wood and hay to expand the raft.

He began to build the floor of the raft, piecing it together on the edge of the raft.

In just half an hour, the 6x6 raft had become a 9x6 raft. The two spear launchers were placed at the bow of the raft. They looked quite powerful.

After the expansion of the raft, all kinds of materials were arranged relatively reasonably.

At the front of the raft were two spear launchers. Separated by some distance, there were two barbecue grills and a water purifier. In the middle and back of the raft were three miniature farms, and behind the miniature farms was the newly built expanded space, Bick planned to rest in this area in the future.

Firstly, it was spacious, and secondly, there was a miniature farm that could shade the sun. When it was dangerous, he could use the miniature farm as a place to dodge.

By the time he was done with all this, it was already past noon.

This was the time of the day when the sun was at its most poisonous. Naturally, Bick could not stay idle, but what was the most appropriate thing to do under such a large sun?

While he was hesitating, Einstein called out "ou ou" a few times.

Bick turned his head and saw Einstein flapping his wings and flying towards the edge of the island. He kept nodding his head vigorously.

Bick was slightly stunned, and then he suddenly understood.

"Oh right! I haven't had the chance to explore the underwater resources!"

This was a good job. Diving into the water to explore the resources did not need to be under the sun. Moreover, there was plenty of sunlight at this time, so he could see the underwater resources more clearly.

Thinking of this, Bick was about to jump into the water with the wooden backpack on his back.

But after a short pause, he suddenly remembered that he had to take off his rotten sailor hat first. Once he took it into the water, it would emit a strong smell of blood, which might attract the sharks nearby.

When he was ready, Bick jumped lightly.

Splash!

A wave of water splashed, and Bick had already swam underwater.

As soon as he entered the water, Bick felt a little strange. He had learned to swim before, but his swimming skills were just barely enough.

But this time, when he entered the water, he actually felt like he was at ease, as if it was not difficult at all to move in the water.

Moreover, it seemed that he did not need to breathe often.

When he was on the shore, he did not notice this. When he entered the water, he actually found that he could hold his breath for more than ten minutes.

Moreover, he did not feel uncomfortable holding his breath for more than ten minutes. If he were to calculate his limit, he estimated that fifteen to twenty minutes would not be a problem.

"Could it be that the continuous check-in also has the effect of strengthening one's physique?"

This was the only possibility that Bick could think of. However, what was he thinking now? Since he was good at underwater activities, he should quickly start working.

When he swam to the edge of the island, Bick saw some glowing rocks under the water.

He had an impression of that luster. It should be rocks that contained metal. Thinking of this, he took out the universal tool hammer in his backpack and directly turned it into a pickaxe, chiseling towards the rocks.

Bang bang bang bang bang...

Bick waved the pickaxe in the seawater effortlessly. The sound of pickaxe colliding with the rock seemed dull.

Soon, the rock shattered into small pieces.

Bick picked up the materials and took a closer look. He found five rocks, two of which were rocks, and three of which were metal ores!

"Such a high output of metal ores!"

Bick was slightly stunned, but it turned into a pleasant surprise later.

After all, the rocks on the island could get at most one piece of metal ore after mining, but the output here was three times that on the shore.

If he found more such rocks, he would soon be able to collect a large amount of metal ores.

Along the edge of the shore, Bick mined a few more rocks with high metal content. In about half an hour, he had mined all of these rocks.

After taking another breath, Bick dived into the water again.

This time he swam deeper into the water. There, he saw some unknown seaweed and the thick mud at the bottom.

Although he did not know what the use of this thing was, Bick still collected some.

He collected 20 pieces of the thick mud and seaweed and stuffed them into his wooden backpack.

He looked around and found that there was no more material to collect. Bick put away his universal tool hammer and swam to the surface.

Just as his head emerged from the water surface, he suddenly heard Einstein's call.

"Ou ou! Ou ou ou!"

Bick looked in the direction Einstein's head was pointing at and saw that not far away, a piece of material appeared on the sea surface and was getting closer to this place.

"That's great!"

Bick smiled slightly. He had no intention of climbing onto the raft at all.

Previously, when there were supplies drifting over, he did not go into the water because he was worried about sharks. Secondly, he was worried that after he went into the water, the raft would drift away.

Now, the raft was tied to the side of the island by ropes and he had suddenly become exceptionally proficient in the water. What was there to worry about? He could just swim over and pick up the supplies.

"First Mate Einstein, help me patrol the area. Are there any sharks nearby?"
