Chapter 4 Supply Boxes and Schools of Fish
The first night passed quickly.
Some people toss and turn, listening to the surging of the ocean waves, unable to fall asleep.
Of course, there are also people who have very good sleep quality.
For example, Li Yi.
As dawn broke and the first rays of sunlight fell upon Li Yi...
He woke up.
He squinted, enjoying the moment of tranquility and feeling the surging power flowing through his body.
Before he transmigrated, he might have been holding a book and reading it with great interest.
This has always been his habit.
Good morning, Li Yi.
Across several rafts, Jiang Ying rubbed her eyes and waved to him.
Li Yi nodded in acknowledgment.
Before they traveled through time, the two were classmates, but their relationship was just so-so.
Is it because I saved her earlier?
Or perhaps she inadvertently discovered her own abnormality...
Li Yi's eyes remained calm.
He used some of his strength to save the person.
If Jiang Ying hadn't completely lost consciousness at that time...
About half an hour later.
Most of the students around me were awake.
Counselor Chu Ying didn't seem to have slept well; her hair was slightly messy, and she looked somewhat tired.
But she still forced herself to stay alert.
"Students, the school teachers are preparing to organize a team to salvage the supplies."
"Are there any students in our class who volunteer to participate in this group?"
There are nearly a hundred survivors at Jiangda University, and they consume a considerable amount of supplies every day.
If we just sit around and eat our savings, we'll all starve to death in a few days!
Therefore, salvaging the supplies is essential!
Fortunately, this ocean world has one advantage: you can find a lot of good stuff in the salvaged supply crates!
Food, fresh water, items, and even some strange props!
It was quiet around them; everyone stared at each other, and no one spoke up.
At that moment, a hand was raised high.
It's Jiang Ying.
She volunteered, "Teacher, I'll join!"
With her example, two other girls soon joined in as well.
The boys in the class soon faced pressure from the girls.
"Fatty Qin, you're all talk and no action, aren't you? If you're not going, don't even bother eating today."
"If you're a real man, step up! Our class monitor was the first one to go!"
Qin Chen and another boy in the class couldn't withstand the pressure and also chose to join.
Finally, everyone's eyes turned to Li Yi.
Li Yi, who had hoped to remain unnoticed, sighed.
"I'll participate too."
The team selected to salvage the supplies was quickly chosen.
There were three girls: class monitor Jiang Ying, psychology committee member Liu Yue, and Tie Shengnan, who had a rough voice.
There were three boys: Qin Chen, Du Yu, and Li Yi.
As for the others, counselor Chu Ying did not make any mandatory requests.
After all, everyone has just traveled through time and hasn't yet adapted to this harsh reality.
Only a minority are brave enough to stand up.
The group members soon boarded their respective rafts and drifted eastward.
There are many such groups, which, when viewed from high above, have almost completely blocked off the surrounding sea area.
In the absence of special investigative methods, such a carpet search is the simplest and most direct approach.
The results were immediate.
Cheers came from afar, attracting the attention of Chu Ying and the others.
Qin Chen licked his lips, his eyes filled with envy.
"They retrieved the supply crate so quickly?"
"I wonder what good stuff might be inside..."
Li Yi looked over with some curiosity.
Even though they were hundreds of meters apart, he could still see clearly.
Several packs of Little Raccoon Crispy Noodles were found in the other party's supply box.
Li Yi scanned the surrounding sea area.
Finally, he pointed in a direction.
"How about we go take a look here?"
Chu Ying hesitated for a moment.
"Li Yi, we can't stray too far, in case we get separated from everyone at school..."
Seeing that his idea had been rejected, Li Yi shrugged and said nothing more.
His words were certainly not spoken without reason.
About fifty meters away in that direction, a supply box was floating on the sea.
"etc!"
Jiang Ying interrupted counselor Chu Ying.
"I'll listen to Li Yi and try that direction again, shall we?"
Liu Yue echoed her sentiments.
"The distance isn't too far now. Since the class monitor has said so, then..."
Tie Shengnan nodded as well.
Chu Ying hesitated, but ultimately could only listen to the will of the people.
"Since everyone says so... then okay."
They moved closer in the direction Li Yi pointed.
"There seems to be something floating there?"
When everyone got closer, they saw that it was a supply box.
"Supply crates?! Li Yi, your luck is incredible!!"
Jiang Ying's face flushed with surprise.
Li Yi hesitated for half a second.
"I suppose so."
Liu Yue was lying on the raft, reaching out and trying to grab the supply boxes.
"Someone come and lend a hand, don't let it drift away!"
She even used her own abilities.
The vines continued to spread, entangled the supply boxes.
Li Yi was standing quite close.
He stepped onto Liu Yue's raft, and the weight of the two of them made the raft sink slightly.
Li Yi reached out and gently lifted it.
Liu Yue was easily lifted up, along with the supply box.
This scene left the other people on the rafts speechless.
Even Jiang Ying couldn't help but marvel.
"Li Yi, where are you lacking in ability?!"
Although Liu Yue is a girl, she weighs forty or fifty kilograms!
How can you lift it with one hand so easily?
"Okay, okay! Put me down, I'm afraid of heights!!"
After a struggle, Liu Yue finally managed to get safely back onto the raft.
Holding the supply box, she looked at Li Yi as if he were a monster.
"Let's open the supply crate and see what's inside?"
Qin Chen's attention was more focused on the supply boxes.
He was more interested in what good things could be found here.
This was also a concern for everyone else present.
Liu Yue rubbed her hands together, and just as she was about to open it, she hesitated for a moment.
"Let whoever's lucky open it; I... my luck is so-so."
Now, everyone's eyes were once again on Li Yi.
Clearly, Li Yi, who "randomly" guessed a direction and found the supply box, was the luckiest among them.
Li Yi's lips twitched slightly.
Was he just lucky? Really?
He didn't say much and opened the supply box.
You opened the supply crate and received: 5 Wood Blocks.
The box contained stacks of wooden blocks.
There was nothing else.
Qin Chen was somewhat disappointed.
"Why is it all just broken wood? And no food?"
"Eat, eat, eat! All you ever think about is eating!"
Liu Yue couldn't help but retort to him.
Teacher Chu Ying stepped in to smooth things over.
"Wood blocks are great too! They're great materials for upgrading the raft!!"
"Five wooden blocks can upgrade two rafts!!"
Upon hearing about upgrading the raft, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
They haven't tried it yet.
"How about we upgrade it first?"
Since it was created by Li Yi, the purpose of trying it out is definitely to upgrade Li Yi's raft.
After consuming two blocks of wood, Li Yi felt the raft beneath him trembling continuously.
Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, the raft gradually transformed, eventually becoming a three-meter-long streamlined wooden boat.
Both in terms of safety and living space, it is far superior to a raft!
"Holy crap! That's awesome?!"
Qin Chen swallowed hard, staring intently at the wooden boat.
Li Yigang was about to check the upgraded vehicle's attributes.
The next second, he turned to look down at the wooden boat.
"There seems to be something underwater?"
The group was startled by his words.
Jiang Ying asked tremblingly.
"What is that? Is it a shark? Or some kind of monster?"
Just then, a small, silvery fish, about the size of a palm, leaped out of the sea.
This seemed like some kind of omen.
Small fish kept leaping out of the water, tracing smooth and graceful arcs before falling back into the sea.
Of course, a small number of unlucky people also ended up on the group's raft.
"A school of fish!!!"
At this moment, everyone's eyes turned green with envy.
