swordfish yielded two fish spines and 10
pieces of fish meat sgon G ventured
further out visibility diminished
nearing the limit of her tethering rope
at a distance of 15 M from the island
she felt a twinge of fear upon glancing
back at the island that now seemed far
away finding nothing of Interest she
decided to swim back during her return
she passed a vibrant coral reef and
noticed something glowing beneath the
surface upon reaching the Luminous spot
she discovered a coin engraved with a
dragon horn design acquir ing one coin
coin the universal currency of the
Dragon race non-craft could it be that
future transactions with NPCs would
involve this currency with a sense of
perplexity Gian G swam back to shore
encountering a fish with purple stripes
that swam slower than the bubble fish
she reached out and caught it with ease
dazed fish a fish that is as confused as
its name suggests consuming it may cause
dizziness but ample hydration can
alleviate the symptoms truly they named
the fish Appley yet G Ani dared to
consume this purple striped creature
unafraid of the consequences a te that
moment Tang Yin who was chopping wood
suddenly shivered sensing a chill in the
air could a temperature drop be imminent
Upon returning to the shore giangi
rinsed off in fresh water changed into a
new casual outfit and prepared to
upgrade her home upgrading her sturdy
wooden house required materials 100
units of wood and 20 seaweed particles
the footprint of the small wooden house
expanded to twice its original size with
doors and windows sturdier than before
at least eliminating the creaky door
issue giangi moved the bamboo table and
chairs she had previously crafted into
the wooden house placing them beside the
window ensuring that rainy meals would
no longer be a concern having completed
these tasks it was already 1 in the
afternoon and Gian G felt a Pang of
hunger she retrieved a coconut from her
backpack splitting it open with her
Stone ax and placing it on the stove
then she tossed in two portions of fish
meat once cooked she added a pinch of
salt frowning as she ate why was coconut
chicken so delectable yet coconut fish
tasted so peculiar it wasn't tea
inedible but far from delightful
adhering to the principle of not wasting
food Gian consumed every morsel both
meat and broth with her hunger saded she
strolled about the island pondering how
this was less survival and more like a
vacation it was only when she reached
the location of the fishing basket that
she remembered she had yet to check it
today emptying its contents yielded one
Lobster one seaweed and one piece of
garbage Gian G felt a wave of
embarrassment while catching seaweed was
acceptable how could one also catch
garbage with no place to dispose of it
her backpack space was effectively
reduced by 1. chapter 8 countdown to the
end of the novice protection period
returning to her wooden house Gian took
a seat and checked the trading area to
see if any items had sold to her
surprise there was indeed a transaction
netting her 20 Island expansion Stones
curious she opened the chat area to
review the conversation history and
noticed the number of chat participants
had dwindled from 10,000 to
9,653 in just two days the rules
dictated that during the novice
protection period No Monsters would
attack players and one could not die
from Hunger or thirst unless they
consumed poisonous food or actively
engage monsters she did not enjoy
perusing the chat area due to the
overwhelming number of participants and
the flood of messages stepping out of
her wooden house xianji readied her
intermediate bow and wooden arrows to
take aim at a seagull but the seagull
flew too swiftly eluding her attempts
reluctantly she retrieved a piece of
fish meat from her backpack though it
