Chapter 5 - The obvious effect

Xiao Yi took a sip of the water. It was like sweet dew moistening his heart. Every cell in his body seemed to be singing, greedily absorbing the essence of this S-grade purified water!

"It really has a more remarkable effect than the A-grade purified water!" Xiao Yi murmured.

After drinking too much A-grade purified water, his body didn't have much of a reaction anymore. Now that he had switched to S-grade water, his stagnant physique began to gradually improve again.

In the future, he should try his best to search for S-grade water and food. He must improve his martial arts as much as possible before the crisis arrives!

In the public channel, everyone was still complaining about the weather.

"Which bastard said it was going to get cold? It's only Chen Shi (7 - 9 am), and it's so hot that it's hard to breathe!"

"Yeah, the down jacket is completely useless!"

"Sell it to me. I love collecting down jackets!"

"I'm not stupid. I won't sell it!"

"How can I fish for supply boxes in this heat? My supplies are almost used up!"

"Yeah, I only fished up one in a week, and I didn't even get a foundation stone."

Speaking of foundation stones, it's almost been a week again. I only have four. Which hero has more foundation stones? I'll exchange supplies for them!"

"Yeah, I heard that another square meter will be flooded tomorrow. I'm so worried. I only have three left. If it floods again, I'll only have two square meters left!"

"Which big brother can save me? I'm so scared!"

"What are you afraid of? You still have two square meters! Don't give up easily until the last moment. Maybe there will be a miracle!"

"Right, the probability of getting a foundation stone on the last day of the first week is high. It should be the same in the second week!"

"I hope so!"

Xiao Yi glanced at the public channel and then switched to a private chat.

"Brother Jiang, do you have any self-defense martial arts skills to teach me?" Xiao Yi left a message for Jiang Yuntian.

Although his physique had increased greatly, in actual combat, he could only use brute force. His battles with the wild boar and the wolf pack were all won by strength.

"Yes, the Special Forces' fighting technique!" Jiang Yuntian replied. "I'll demonstrate it to you later!"

"Okay!" Xiao Yi responded.

Jiang Yuntian tidied up the sundries in the shed, cleared an open space, and began to demonstrate.

Junjun imitated him beside him, looking very much like the real thing.

Half an hour later, Jiang Yuntian finished the demonstration. Sweat pooled at his feet!

Xiao Yi immediately sent 10L of light salt water to Jiang Yuntian: "Okay, take a rest. You've worked hard!"

It was so hot. Although they were in the shed, the temperature was not lower than outside, just without the scorching sun!

"I'll demonstrate it again at dusk." Jiang Yuntian said. It was really too hot.

Xiao Yi replied, "Have you just finished the demonstration?"

"Yeah, I demonstrated it completely." Jiang Yuntian answered.

"Then there's no need." Xiao Yi said.

"No need? Have you remembered it all?" Jiang Yuntian asked in surprise.

"Yeah, I've remembered it all." Xiao Yi replied. "How about I practice it once for you to see!"

After saying that, Xiao Yi began to practice in front of the island monument. His moves were smooth and standard, and he didn't look like a beginner at all.

"Have you learned it before?" Jiang Yuntian asked in shock, and then he felt stupid for asking. How could Xiao Yi have come into contact with the Special Forces' fighting technique!

Xiao Yi shook his head: "No. Didn't you just teach it once?"

"Uh!" Jiang Yuntian was speechless. Learning it after just one teaching? He had practiced hard for a year to reach Xiao Yi's level of proficiency!

Jiang Yuntian understood that a genius like Xiao Yi couldn't be judged by the standards of ordinary people!

"Your movements are very standard. Just practice more." Jiang Yuntian commented.

Xiao Yi nodded.

After the conversation ended, Jiang Yuntian suddenly thought: "He practiced it once and didn't even sweat! Could it be that this level of fighting technique isn't even enough to make him sweat?"

Jiang Yuntian shook his head and sighed: "He's really a monster!"

The amazement was not only because of his astonishing speed in learning martial arts but also because Xiao Yi's understanding of this world far exceeded that of others!

After practicing the fighting technique, Xiao Yi walked out of his residence, put on the newly woven straw hat, and came to the chicken coop.

Feeding the chicks, looking at the growing chicks following the hen, Xiao Yi felt that he would soon be able to enjoy eggs and chicken to his heart's content.

In the past two days when the hen was taking care of the chicks, the egg production had dropped sharply, and all the eggs were unfertilized.

It seemed that the hen had rejected the rooster's approach in order to raise the chicks!

That was fine. Xiao Yi could collect eggs every day.

Xiao Yi took five eggs from the chicken coop, returned to his residence, and put the eggs in the freezer for storage. Looking at the TV beside him, Xiao Yi murmured: "On this island, the TV is probably just a decoration. Maybe it will be useful when I set up a TV station in the future!"

Thinking like this, he turned on the TV. It was actually a smart TV. Without the Internet and TV stations, he found many movies in the built-in memory card!

Although they were classic old movies, they could be used to pass the long nights. After all, it was too lonely to be alone!

Turning off the TV, Xiao Yi practiced the fighting technique twice more and said to himself: "It doesn't seem too difficult! I should ask Brother Jiang to teach Old Yuan and Su Wan too. By the way, I still need to prepare weapons!"

Returning to the front of the island monument, Xiao Yi entered the trading hall and posted a trading message.

"[Plain Boiled Water], [Fish Meat] in exchange for various weapon blueprints or finished products. Note: Private chat for price negotiation with pictures or finished products!"

"Eh, the big shot is starting to collect weapon blueprints!"

"Really? Is he in danger?"

"The big shot often hunts wolf packs. Maybe he needs more weapons!"

"I wonder if the big shot wants this? [Tang Dao] *1."

"Go and ask. It's useless to keep it!"

"Yeah, I'll go and ask!"

Soon, Xiao Yi received a private chat.

"Big shot, [Tang Dao] *1. Do you want it?"

Xiao Yi replied: "Yes. It's a fixed price. [Plain Boiled Water] *1L, [Fish Meat] *5kg."

"Okay, thank you, big shot!"

The deal was made, and Xiao Yi had a weapon with a narrow and straight blade and a moderately long handle in his hand.

The finished product was definitely made of metal sheets, and there was no doubt about its quality. Metal sheets were versatile!

Xiao Yi pulled out the Tang Dao and waved it a few times. It felt quite handy.

"Haha, I've exchanged for water and food!"

"Then I'll go and ask too. [Iron Spear] *1. Can I exchange it?"

"Those who are short-sighted, aren't they stupid? An iron spear doesn't need a blueprint. It can be forged at the island monument. Why do we need your charity?"

"Exactly. There are always some idiots showing off how stupid they are!"

"You are the stupid ones. How do you know what heroes need? What if the situation is urgent and he doesn't have time to forge it?"

"Talking to stupid people may make myself stupid too! To avoid being like them, I'm going to sleep!"

Xiao Yi really received the inquiry from that person. He smiled dumbly and added him to the blacklist.

At the same time, he set it so that all weapons that could be forged at the island monument without a blueprint would be blocked.

Seeing that someone was buying weapons, Di Lin Tian Xia pondered for a moment and also posted a transaction in the trading hall.

It was also a deal for buying and selling weapons.

Although he didn't know why the other party was buying weapons, judging from the past reactions in the trading market, once someone bought a certain item in large quantities, that item must have great value.

Like metal sheets!

Like seeds!

Di Lin Tian Xia speculated that this hero must have other information channels, so he could always make arrangements one step ahead of others.

Although he couldn't contact this hero, he could get a share of the pie!

At least he couldn't let him monopolize the advantage!

After Di Lin Tian Xia posted the transaction, several transactions for buying weapons appeared one after another.

Looking at the scene in the trading market, Xiao Yi smiled and said: "Everyone is becoming shrewd!"

However, others didn't have as much financial resources as Xiao Yi. After asking the prices from everyone, most of those who had weapons made deals with Xiao Yi.

Only Xiao Yi could offer the most water and food.

Soon, Xiao Yi collected four bows and arrows, one Tang Dao, one dagger, and one flying fork!

"Can you use a bow and arrow?" Xiao Yi asked Su Wan and the others.

"I can!" To Xiao Yi's surprise, Su Wan knew how to use a bow and arrow.

"I practiced archery for a while before." Su Wan explained.

"Okay, take this bow and arrow and dagger for self-defense." Xiao Yi said.

"[Bow and Arrow] *1, *1. Transaction confirmed."

"Okay!" Su Wan immediately agreed to the transaction.

Yuan Nong said that he couldn't use a bow and arrow. Xiao Yi had to trade a crossbow to him and told him how to use it.

"Practice more on the island. If you run out of arrows, tell me immediately!" Xiao Yi reminded.

Jiang Yuntian said that he already had a B-grade dagger and didn't need other weapons for now.
