"It can be like this...."
Zhou Yingting looked at the water in his hand, opened it, and drank it all.
After drinking half a bottle, Zhou Yingting felt like a new person.
When Zhou Yingting attached the water to his waist, it transformed back into a dictionary form, convenient for carrying.
Zhou Yingting continued running toward the safe zone.
On the way, Zhou Yingting paid special attention to the glowing objects on the side.
If the glowing thing was something like a tree, Zhou Yingting ignored it, but if it was water or food, he took it with him.
On the island, when the food dictionary turned into food, it became an Energy Bar, which was quite filling when eaten.
The island was still large, and Zhou Yingting didn't reach the safe zone until sunset.
He departed from near the left side of the island.
The safe zone was located in the lower right corner.
The distance between Zhou Yingting and the safe zone wasn't the farthest.
Looking closely at the red dots on the map, several teams were located at the farthest point from the safe zone.
Who knows how embarrassing it would be for them to run when the outside became unsafe.
"Finally, I made it!"
The sun was already hanging in the west, and Zhou Yingting breathed a sigh of relief.
He ate an Energy Bar and drank some water. Zhou Yingting decided to find a place to rest for the night, and build a structure at a suitable location the next day.
....
The next day.
As the sun slowly rose in the distance, Zhou Yingting immediately opened his eyes from the tree.
Looking out from the tree, a myriad of lights lit up the area, indicating abundant resources.
The resources here were plentiful!
Seeing this, Zhou Yingting started to act immediately.
Seeing various types of wood, Zhou Yingting went forward to chop them, watching as each piece of wood fell down and turned into a dictionary entry.
"Entry, building material."
"Entry, building material."
"Entry, pine wood."
As piles of wood kept falling, Zhou Yingting worked more energetically.
When Zhou Yingting finished collecting building materials, as he turned around, he saw that the pile had suddenly decreased significantly.
Instinctively, Zhou Yingting dropped the wood he was holding, seeing a flash of dictionary light.
"Entry, Second-level Building Wood."
Huh? Fusion?
Seeing this, Zhou Yingting was momentarily stunned. So, same entries could be fused, huh?
It seemed that three identical pieces could become the next level up.
If that's the case, then three pieces of second-level wood should form the same third-level wood, right?
Seeing this, Zhou Yingting went back to chopping the nearby wood desperately.
After spending most of his effort he finally managed to produce a piece of third-level wood.
Zhou Yingting took a sip of water and pondered over the third-level wood on the ground.
The third-level wood seemed to resemble wrought iron, undoubtedly having very strong defensive capabilities.
But creating third-level wood was really time-consuming.
Zhou Yingting rubbed his forehead and checked his small map, seeing that no one else was heading in his direction.
With a decision made, Zhou Yingting gritted his teeth and collected wood without hesitation.
If time ran out, and others came, Zhou Yingting could rely on his ability to locate other players and play hide and seek with them.
After all, he could tell where others were, getting into the top three shouldn't be a major issue.
When Zhou Yingting synthesized third-level wood, a progress bar appeared in his construction technique menu.
"Level 3 House Progress Bar, 0.1 percent."
Darn it!
He wiped the sweat from his forehead; a single third-level wood accounted for only 0.1 percent progress.
This meant building a Level 3 House required a thousand third-level wood, three thousand second-level, nine thousand first-level wood.
Others might show up before the Level 3 House was even completed.
"No, there must be another way to construct a Level 3 House."
Thinking, Zhou Yingting believed if the game included architects, it wasn't possible to prevent them from constructing Level 3 Houses.
Moreover, out of all the professions, architects had no attack power whatsoever.
Gazing into the distance, a sudden golden light caught Zhou Yingting's attention.
"Golden? Could it be...?"
Seeing this, Zhou Yingting felt intrigued and quickly ran toward it.
Soon after, when Zhou Yingting arrived, he saw golden-hued wood glowing in front of him and immediately began chopping it down.
Once the huge tree fell, a piece of third-level wood appeared.
"So it can drop third-level wood directly; if that's the case, constructing a Level 3 House shouldn't be a problem!"
Seeing the third-level wood, Zhou Yingting started searching the area.
All harvested wood was collected under a large boulder, then from there, Zhou Yingting began diligently searching for more third-level wood.
...
"Wow, Level 3 Herbs!"
Elsewhere, Chu Shanshan suddenly noticed a gleaming gold in front of her.
Seeing this, she quickly approached and squatted, collecting the herbs before her, immediately obtaining Level 3 Herbs.
"Level 3 Herbs?"
Upon hearing this, Han Qiaowen stepped forward in delight, "What's its effect?"
"Level 3 Herbs can block a Poison Master's Level 3 Poison and provide immunity to toxins for a certain time,"
Chu Shanshan explained immediately.
"Great!"
Han Qiaowen showed delighted with these words.
"Here, take these herbs."
Without hesitation, Chu Shanshan handed the Level 3 Herbs to Han Qiaowen.
Han Qiaowen was a Warrior, vulnerable only to Poison Masters.
Giving her Level 3 Herbs was as good as giving her a lifesaver!
Facing other teams later would give them a greater chance of victory.
Han Qiaowen didn't hesitate and accepted the Level 3 Herbs.
Chu Shanshan glanced at another newcomer in their team, a young-looking man.
"Wait a little; if we find more Level 3 Herbs, I'll give them to you."
The man nodded, watching Han Qiaowen receive the Level 3 Herbs with some envy.
Level 3 Herbs were quite rare and couldn't be synthesized.
Thoughtfully, he decided to search more on his own to see if he could find a Level 3 Bow instead.
