Chapter 18: Orange Gets Credit! A Nameless Island!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

It was Orange!

Safety +1

Chen Changan immediately recognized that the blue and white creature swimming over at high speed was Orange.

Orange’s nimble figure gradually became clearer.

Chen Changan—who had always had good eyesight—suddenly realized that there was a small red flower in its mouth.

Not long after, Orange came to Chen Changan’s side with a little red flower in its mouth.

Chirp chirp~

Chen Changan asked cautiously, “Is the flower for me?”

Orange’s lovely round head bobbed as it nodded.

Chen Changan was stunned for a moment before realizing the crux of the problem. “Orange, where did you pick the flower from?”

Orange swam in the direction of the sunset before it immediately swam back.

Chen Changan understood immediately and said in surprise, “Orange, did you discover an island? Are you sure it’s not the monster island?”

Orange nodded first, then shook its head.

Chen Changan didn’t care about the injuries on his body and asked happily, “Orange, is that island safe?”

Orange nodded again.

Chen Changan’s lips curled up.

Lose at sunrise but gain at sunset1.

He had just failed to challenge the treasure island and barely managed to escape. In the blink of an eye, he obtained information about a new island.

Of course, Chen Changan wouldn’t take the risk this time. He wouldn’t enter unless it was a safe zone.

Chen Changan took the little red flower from Orange’s mouth.

Orange bit the rope of the raft and pulled The Flying Henan People toward the sunset.

“Congratulations, you have obtained a little red flower!” At this moment, Chen Changan also discovered that the little red flower Orange had given him was actually a medicinal herb that could speed up the healing of wounds.

[Little Red Flower]

Quality: White

Introduction: A common medicinal herb that grows on a nameless island. It can speed up the healing of wounds via external or internal application. It is a basic medicinal herb among dozens of types of medicinal recipes.

Evaluation: I’ll give you a little red flower!

“So, Orange is trying to heal my wounds.” Chen Changan looked at Orange approvingly.

Orange continued to pull the raft without any complaints. Although Chen Changan had removed the planting boat and the wooden bucket in time, Orange’s contribution and hard work could be seen by everyone.

After about 15 minutes, Orange finally arrived at their destination with The Flying Henan People.

This was an extremely small island. The whole thing was in the shape of a long strip, about 15 or 16 meters long, with varying width and depth. The shortest width was less than a meter, and the highest part was a rock about three meters above sea level.

There were weeds and little red flowers growing on the beach. There were four to five traces of being eaten; it was obviously caused by Orange.

During the period when Orange disappeared, it had probably swum to this island. Like a goat jumping from the sea, it leaped over the nameless island and failed three or four times in a row. Finally, it bit its target and brought the little red flower with healing powers to him.

Chen Changan felt a lump in his throat. The actions of Orange had undoubtedly touched him, and a sense of happiness arose spontaneously. He bought ten big squids from the market in one go and fed them all to Orange.

Orange was having a whale of a time eating the squid while Chen Changan logged onto the forum.

He had to make a plan before he made a move! For something like an island, he no longer had the happy expectation of stepping on solid land. Instead, he had some PTSD.

He did a keyword search for ‘island,’ ‘small island,’ and ‘nameless island.’ From the results, there were more than 5,000 posts that claimed to have been to an island. Apart from a few who encountered sea snakes, nobody mentioned the word ‘monster.’

Although the humans who had actually encountered the monster might not have had a chance to post it, a sample of over 5,000 was enough to prove the safety of ordinary islands.

The truly dangerous ones should be the larger and more valuable islands.

When he searched for the keyword ‘Little Red Flower,’ there were indeed more than 200 posts that mentioned its healing effect.

Chen Changan was relieved. He asked Orange to keep an eye on The Flying Henan People so that it wouldn’t be washed away by the waves. Then, he jumped down from the raft.

With a bloodstained saber in his left hand and a Mountain-Beheading Axe in his right, he carefully stepped on the sand and slowly approached the nameless island.

He must do things steadily! This was a lesson learned from the incident on the treasure island.

Chen Changan wasn’t a smart person and would occasionally gamble, but he was good at learning from his experiences.

Although the movie ‘Young and Dangerous’ had ruined the mindsets of many young people, Chen Changan remembered a line from Jing Kun: “In order to survive, one has to admit one’s mistakes and stand up for one’s mistakes!”

Chen Changan spent ten full minutes thoroughly understanding the situation on the nameless island before he started picking the little red flowers.

There weren’t many little red flowers on the beach. Chen Changan only managed to collect three.

That was far from enough.

Chen Changan jumped onto the rock. There were still five little red flowers here, and he took them into his arms.

Just as he was about to jump off the rock, Chen Changan suddenly seemed to have thought of something and used his foot to step on the rock.

It didn’t feel right.

He lowered his head and chopped it a few times with his axe.

The axe and rock collided, producing the sound of metal colliding.

The falling rocks had a faint metallic texture.

Chen Changan was overjoyed; he had searched high and low for it, only to find it easily.

The metal that he had been looking for was actually on this island.

In the trading market, the price of metal weapons had always been high. Even an ordinary dagger could only be exchanged for two liters of water.

Even so, it was still priceless. Chen Changan had only bought the dagger and the Mountain-Beheading Axe. Therefore, Chen Changan had never made up his mind to upgrade the ship using finished weapons as raw materials.

But now, Chen Changan owned an iron ore that was more than two cubic meters in size.

‘Amazing!’ Chen Changan opened the materials list for the boat upgrade.

[Upgrade Plan 2—Materials List: 250kg of wood, 15kg of rope, 0.5kg of tung oil, 15kg of metal, five kilograms of linen, one kilogram of fish bladder, five kilograms of fish bones.]

Chen Changan touched the iron ore with both hands, and the list immediately displayed the words ’15kg of metal (completed).’

During the past few days when he was eating fish, Chen Changan would deliberately leave the bladder and fish bones behind, basically fulfilling his needs.

Chen Changan brought all the available raw materials to the island. The upgrade plan’s survival point requirement had a steep decline. Now, he only required 90 survival points to upgrade The Flying Henan People from a raft to a dark boat.

“Back then, the New Aqua Bucket lacked metal and wasted 80 to 90 survival points before it was successfully forged. Now, I have an entire iron ore.” Chen Changan was filled with emotions.

He listed five bottles of 555ml mineral water again. The purchase condition was one kilogram of cloth.

After transmigrating worldwide, everyone wore clothes from the Earth era. Humans who lived in cold areas basically started with about 2.5 kilograms of clothing per person.

This was especially true for the Russians, who lived in high-altitude regions. Many of them were a fighting race.

Their clothes were basically overused. As soon as Chen Changan’s mineral water was put on the shelves, it was crazily demanded and sold out in the blink of an eye.

As he obtained five kilograms of clothing, Chen Changan finally pulled the survival point requirement of the dark boat upgrade plan to the lowest point.
