CHAPTER 31: CHAPTER 31: LEVEL 3 LUMBER

"It can be like this...."

Zhou Yingting looked at the water in her hand and drank it all up immediately.

After drinking half a bottle, Zhou Yingting finally felt as if she had come back to life.

Once she placed the water back at her waist, it transformed into an entry again, making it easy to carry.

Seeing this, Zhou Yingting continued to run toward the safe zone.

However, on the way, Zhou Yingting paid extra attention to any glowing objects on the side.

If the glowing object was something like a tree, Zhou Yingting ignored it, but if it was water or food, she took it along.

The food entry on the island, once turned into food, was something like an energy bar, quite filling when eaten.

The island was quite vast, and Zhou Yingting ran until sunset before finally reaching the safe zone.

When Zhou Yingting set off, she was roughly positioned on the left side of the island.

The safe zone was at the lower right corner.

The distance between Zhou Yingting and the safe zone was not the farthest.

Looking closely at the red dots on the map, there were several teams positioned at the farthest points from the safe zone.

Who knows how desperate those people will be when it starts to become unsafe outside.

"Finally made it!"

The sun had started to hang in the west, and Zhou Yingting breathed a sigh of relief.

After eating an energy bar and drinking some water, Zhou Yingting decided to find a place to rest for the night and look for a suitable spot to construct a building the next day.

....

The next day.

As the sun rose slowly in the distance, Zhou Yingting immediately opened her eyes on the tree.

Looking far from the tree, she saw a densely bright area, indicating plenty of resources around.

There’re so many resources here!

Seeing this, Zhou Yingting took action immediately.

Upon finding various wood materials, Zhou Yingting started chopping them, watching as the materials fell and turned into entries one by one.

’Entry, construction wood.’

’Entry, construction wood.’

’Entry, pinewood.’

As pieces of wood fell continuously, Zhou Yingting worked even harder.

After cutting down construction wood, turning around suddenly, she noticed that the pile of wood had significantly reduced.

Zhou Yingting instinctively dropped the wood in her hand and saw a flash of entry light.

’Entry, second-level building wood.’

Huh? It merged?

Zhou Yingting was taken aback by this and realized that similar entries could merge.

It seemed that three identical ones could turn into a higher level.

If that’s the case, then three identical second-level wood should form a third-level wood, right?

Watching this unfold, Zhou Yingting went on chopping more wood frantically.

After spending most of the day, a third-level wood appeared in front of her.

Zhou Yingting took a sip of water and pondered over the third-level wood lying on the ground.

This third-level wood looked like wrought iron, undoubtedly possessing significant defense power.

But crafting a third-level wood took far too much time.

Zhou Yingting rubbed her forehead, glanced at the mini-map, and saw no one else approaching her direction.

Biting her lip, Zhou Yingting decided not to hesitate any longer.

As there was still ample time, she focused on collecting more wood first.

If time really runs out and other players come along, Zhou Yingting could rely on her ability to locate other players and play hide and seek with them.

After all, knowing others’ locations, getting into the top three shouldn’t be too hard.

When Zhou Yingting crafted a third-level wood, a progress bar appeared under her construction technique.

"Level 3 House Progress: 0.1 percent."

It was killing her!

She wiped the sweat off her forehead; one third-level wood only accounted for 0.1 percent progress.

Meaning, constructing a Level 3 House would require a thousand third-level woods, three thousand second-level woods, and nine thousand first-level woods.

This might mean not finishing the Level 3 House still by the time other players arrive.

"This isn’t right; there must be another way to construct the Level 3 House."

Zhou Yingting thought for a while, believing that the instance gave her the role of an Architect, which couldn’t be impossible to craft a Level 3 House.

What’s more, of all professions, the Architect had no attack power.

Zhou Yingting looked into the distance, suddenly captivated by a strange golden light that grabbed her attention.

"Golden? Could it be?"

Zhou Yingting’s heart moved as she saw this, immediately running towards it.

A moment later, when Zhou Yingting reached the spot, she immediately set about chopping down the golden-glowing wood in front of her.

Once she felled the big tree, a third-level wood appeared right before her eyes.

"Turns out Level 3 Wood can directly drop. If that’s the case, constructing the Level 3 House shouldn’t be an issue!"

Ecstatic about the felled third-level wood, Zhou Yingting started searching the surroundings for more.

The chopped wood was collected under a large rock centrally, and then Zhou Yingting began looking for third-level wood nearby.

...

"Wow, Level 3 Herbs!"

Elsewhere, Chu Shanshan suddenly noticed a golden glow before her.

Seeing this, she quickly approached and squatted, collecting the herbs, resulting in a Level 3 Herb appearing in her hand.

"Level 3 Herbs?"

Upon hearing this, Han Qiaowen quickly stepped forward, delighted. "How’s it? What’s the effect?"

"Level 3 Herbs can resist Level 3 Poison released by a Poison Master, followed by immunizing toxins for a while."

Chu Shanshan explained immediately.

"That’s great!"

Hearing this, Han Qiaowen was also delighted.

"Here, you take this herb first."

Without hesitation, Chu Shanshan handed the Level 3 Herb to Han Qiaowen.

Han Qiaowen chose the Warrior profession, which only fears the Poison Master.

Giving her Level 3 Herbs was tantamount to giving her a lifeline!

It ensured a higher chance of winning when encountering other teams.

Han Qiaowen graciously accepted the Level 3 Herb right away.

Meanwhile, Chu Shanshan looked at another team member, a young-looking man who had just joined them.

"Wait a bit; if we find another Level 3 Herb, it’s yours."

The young man nodded upon hearing this, watching Han Qiaowen receive the Level 3 Herb, his gaze carried some envy.

After all, Level 3 Herbs were difficult to find and could not be synthesized.

Thinking about it, he decided to search for more treasures, perhaps finding a Level 3 Bow instead.
