"Who is this person Shura is looking for? Could it be his significant other?"
"I think I have a friend named Tang Xueying—I wonder if it's her?"
"I wonder if providing clues would earn me a reward."
After sending this message, Luo Feng quickly received a private message.
"Hello, my name is Tang Xueying. Why are you looking for me?"
Luo Feng was pleasantly surprised to see this response—he hadn't expected someone to reply so quickly.
Luo Feng replied, "Then do you recognize my name?"
"No, this is the first time I've heard of it."
Luo Feng was taken aback by this answer. He and Tang Xueying often played games together—if this were really her, she would have recognized his name immediately.
It seemed this wasn't the right person. Thinking this, Luo Feng asked, "How old are you?"
"48."
Luo Feng: "My apologies, goodbye. You're not the person I'm looking for."
He quickly closed the chat window—that had been terrifying.
Guess it's all about fate. Maybe Tang Xueying hasn't even entered this world yet.
There was no forcing this.
Just then, a game notification sounded in Luo Feng's mind.
"Ding! Congratulations, player. You have successfully crafted a Perfect Fishing Rod."
A fishing rod materialized in front of him.
[Fishing Rod]
Grade: Perfect
Description: Can catch fish without bait. What you reel in may not just be fish—it could be other items as well.
With this Perfect Fishing Rod, Luo Feng no longer had to worry about food.
So, he cast the fishing rod into the sea.
Next, Luo Feng scanned the surrounding waters.
He had already gathered all the nearby resources.
For others, this might mean a temporary shortage of supplies.
But Luo Feng's casting skill was Excellent-grade, allowing him to aim for a distant Wooden Treasure Chest.
However, the success rate for distant chests dropped significantly.
It took Luo Feng three attempts before he finally hooked it.
Once the chest was secured, he eagerly began pulling it toward his raft.
But then, Luo Feng froze.
Not far away, a shark was swimming straight toward him.
Luo Feng's heart nearly stopped.
No way—already? He had barely been in the ocean for long before encountering a great white shark. His luck was truly terrible.
His hands stilled.
If he attracted the shark now, he wouldn't stand a chance—he didn't even have a decent weapon.
But as the shark drew closer, Luo Feng noticed something strange.
There was a Bronze Treasure Chest floating in front of the shark, bobbing up and down in the water as if swimming.
Luo Feng had never seen anything like this in his life.
Then again, if he could already accept being transported to another world, he could accept just about anything.
At this moment, Luo Feng was thinking that there must be something good inside this Bronze Treasure Chest.
Such a good item had to be obtained.
However, the great white shark behind it looked quite intimidating.
Soon, the great white shark approached Luo Feng.
It had also noticed Luo Feng's presence.
It launched an attack toward him.
"What the hell? I didn't even provoke you! Aren't you supposed to chase the chest? Why attack me instead?"
Luo Feng was startled by the situation. If the great white shark destroyed his raft, he would be in serious trouble.
Earlier, Luo Feng had been busy gathering materials around him and hadn't had time to upgrade his small 2x2 raft.
Now, he regretted it deeply.
Once he managed to evade this great white shark, he would definitely reinforce and expand his raft first.
The reason Luo Feng hadn't rushed to expand the raft was that he had gathered some basic materials—palm leaves, wood, metal scraps, plastic, etc.
These basic materials could all be stored in his personal backpack.
Everything else, however, could only be placed on the small raft.
This wasn't the time to dwell on that. Luo Feng looked at the four wooden planks beneath his feet, trying to anticipate which one the great white shark would attack so he could dodge accordingly.
Based on his gaming experience, the great white shark would leave after destroying one plank.
With this in mind, Luo Feng focused intently, watching the shark's movements.
The great white shark moved swiftly, charging straight toward the plank Luo Feng was standing on.
Luo Feng had been paying close attention, so he reacted quickly, leaping onto another plank.
Crack!
The plank he had been standing on was shattered by the shark's bite.
Seeing that its attack had missed, the great white shark gave up and resumed chasing the swimming Bronze Treasure Chest.
As Luo Feng watched the shark leave his raft, he let out a sigh of relief. Thankfully, he had reacted fast—otherwise, he would've been done for.
Now, however, Luo Feng's mood soured. He hoped the great white shark wouldn't go too far.
After provoking him, it thought it could just swim away? Not a chance.
Once Luo Feng crafted a weapon, he would settle the score with this shark.
For now, he had no interest in salvaging that wooden chest anymore.
It was time to expand his small raft.
[Ordinary Wooden Plank: 5/5 Wood]
Each plank required five pieces of wood. Right now, most players were frantically gathering materials.
However, using the grappling hook wasn't easy.
As a result, their success rates were extremely low.
"Ding! Congratulations, player. Crafting successful. Obtained 100 Ordinary Wooden Planks."
With these planks in hand, Luo Feng turned his attention to the Construction Hammer.
To expand the raft, players needed to process the planks using the Construction Hammer.
[Construction Hammer: 2/2 Wood]
"Ding! Congratulations, player. Crafting successful. Obtained one Construction Hammer."
Holding the hammer, Luo Feng got to work.
Raft: 2x2
This was the current size of his raft.
After some hard work, Luo Feng successfully expanded it.
Raft: 10*10
