Chapter 110: Chapter 106: Small Group of Regular Players

District 1938.

Jaina Harmon was making Healing Ointment. Previously, she had to craft it one portion at a time. Now, having traded for enough resources, she had advanced to Level 7 and unlocked the Medical Table. Once unlocked, she immediately began mass-producing the Healing Ointment.

As portions of Healing Ointment were churned out, most were traded to the Sea Survival Shop. For one thing, the Sea Survival Shop offered her a decent price. For another, she always kept in mind that the shop was her lifesaver. Therefore, she was more than willing to use all her abilities for the Sea Survival Shop’s benefit.

As for the remaining small portion of Healing Ointment, she was willing to sell it to players within the district in exchange for a steady supply of raw materials like eggs and Seaweed. However, compared to before when it was easy to acquire a large amount of Seaweed, its price was now soaring due to the air purifiers. With her production costs for the Healing Ointment rising accordingly, she was forced to adjust her prices. Now, she wondered how to craft new medical supplies.

With this in mind, Jaina took the various plants she had received and tossed them one by one into the Medical Table to see if they would trigger any new medical recipes. Right after learning that the Sea Survival Shop had opened private and group chats, she had joined a medical group. But the group was a mixed bag. Many people were just slacking off and taking advantage of the chaos, and some players even flat-out asked for the Healing Ointment crafting method. This made her too afraid to speak up directly, leaving her no choice but to lurk silently.

Of course, there was also the matter of trading with other players for plant seeds she didn’t have. The reason she initiated such trades was that she had discovered something on Harvest Day: while fishing for ocean resources, she had obtained quite a few blueprints for medical supplies and plant seeds. Upon realizing this, she hadn’t dared to mention it anywhere. But just now, in the medical group, she noticed that many players who also possessed a Medical Skill shared the same experience. Taking advantage of this opportunity, she traded for quite a few plants she had never seen before.

Now that the Medical Table was unlocked, she could finally use it to unlock more medical recipes. The Effect of each plant was also gradually recorded through the Medical Table. And what she wanted to research the most was, without a doubt, a poison antidote.

After all, the current natural disaster was related to the air. Moreover, many players had mentioned that after leaving their rafts, the fog had a corrosive effect on their bodies and Equipment. The first thing she thought of was poison. If she had an antidote, not only would it be easier to survive this natural disaster, but it would also be easy to earn a massive amount of resources.

With this in mind, Jaina tossed the Eira Grass onto the Medical Table. This was a plant she had just traded for from other permanent players. She had planted it yesterday, and after it grew a bit, she finally brought herself to pluck a single stalk for an experiment today.

[Eira Grass: Has a certain detoxification Effect. Can generate recipe: Antidote]

Seeing the prompt displayed by the Medical Table, Jaina’s eyes instantly lit up. "I found it!" she thought.

She earnestly studied the Antidote recipe.

[Antidote: Eira Grass x1, Coconut Meat x1]

"Thank goodness, I have both of these resources," she thought in relief.

At the same time, she listed an informational item in the Sea Survival Shop.

[Item: Antidote Recipe]

[Price: 499 Trading Coins]

She was willing to sell this Antidote recipe to more players. She was certain that the quantity of Eira Grass wouldn’t be high. What she needed to do now, besides crafting the Antidote, was to plant as much Eira Grass as possible.

"I’m going to make a fortune this time! Hehe, getting to know people with similar interests is really great!" she thought eagerly.

District 5323.

Ian Sinclair was mining ore with an electric drill and iron pickaxe. Yes, a night had passed, and he still hadn’t left Glimmerstone Isle. He believed that if he acquired a few more Engines, he could still catch up with the other rafts. Therefore, he was more than willing to spend extra time mining.

Moreover, he had finally obtained the god-tier mining tool he had been thinking about for so long. He had to admit, using the electric drill and iron pickaxe was much more convenient than mining with the tools he had on hand. However, he still noticed something unusual about it. The mining Speed of the electric drill and iron pickaxe still couldn’t compare to Rowan Rhodes. He was certain of one thing: Rowan had an even better electric drill and iron pickaxe in his hands.

He perfectly understood Rowan’s approach. The current electric drill and iron pickaxe alone had already caused many players to start killing each other, let alone a better electric drill and iron pickaxe. Furthermore, releasing the electric drill and iron pickaxe later had given many players an extra chance at survival.

He figured that there probably weren’t many players like himself out there.
