After putting the shark meat on the trade interface, Bick opened the chat interface, intending to see how everyone was doing recently.

When he entered the chat interface, he saw that everyone was talking about him.

[Chat]

[Did you see that? Someone put out eight pieces of shark meat on the trade interface!]

[What? Shark meat? Who is so powerful that he killed a shark!]

[Wait! Shouldn’t you consider why this big shot sold eight pieces of shark meat in one go? Aren’t he rich? While we can hardly have meals, he is already dumping food!]

[But I don’t have mana crystal… It would be great if I could exchange them with a wooden board!]

[Would it be your turn to exchange them with a wooden board?]

…

Bick shook his head. It seemed that he had been too generous. However, mana crystals were indeed rare. Up until now, he had yet to receive a notification from the trade interface that he had successfully completed the transaction.

“It seems that I’ll have to wait a little longer!” 

Bick thought for a moment. But he did not have the mood to rest as his mind was still thinking about it. So he decided to take a good look at the principle interface. While waiting for the transaction to be completed, he would use the shark’s sharp teeth to create a practical weapon.

After obtaining shark’s sharp teeth, he had unlocked some weapons and equipment that he hadn’t seen before in the principle interface.

[Shark’s sharp teeth dagger: Wooden board (1/1), shark’s sharp teeth (1/1)]

[Spiked gloves: Wooden board (1/1) , metal plate (1/1), shark’s sharp teeth (4/4)]

[Spiked spear: Wooden board (1/1), grass rope (0/1), shark’s sharp teeth (1/1)]

…

Bick checked carefully. He did not need melee weapons like daggers and gloves at the moment, so he chose the spiked spear.

Although this thing was very ordinary, it had a long attack range!

After making up his mind, Bick began making it.

First, he made a grass rope. Then, Bick filled in all the necessary materials. In less than a minute, a handy spear appeared in Bick’s hand.

This spear was slightly longer than the metal spear. The spearhead was made of shark’s sharp teeth. It gave off a faint white light and looked extremely sharp.

After taking a closer look at the explanation of the spear, Bick was even more surprised.

[Explanation: The lethality of the spear is absolutely beyond your imagination. It can penetrate almost any defense other than metal, but its weakness is that it’s easy to break! ]

Easy to break?

It didn’t matter!

He still had seven shark sharp teeth, and he could still withstand this kind of consumption!

Bick smiled complacently and chose to create another spiked spear right away. He would then have a backup weapon. In the future, if he encountered sharks, he would kill them one by one.

While Bick was excited, he suddenly saw a new notification appeared on his stone tablet.

He picked it up and took a look. A trade message appeared.

[You have a successful trade. You have obtained mana crystal!]

“Hehe! Everything is here!”

Initially, Bick thought that he would not be able to obtain mana crystal today. He did not expect that someone would actually possess such a good item.

His eight pieces of shark meat were not wasted. With the mana crystal, he could create a material divination compass!

Without hesitation, Bick opened the interface and made a nail as he had gathered all the necessary materials.

[Material divination compass: Glass (2/2), wood (2/2), iron nail (1/1), mana crystal (1/1)]

Seeing that he had filled in all the materials, Bick left and started making it.

Ten minutes later, a square compass with a glass cover appeared in Bick’s hand.

In the middle of the compass, a metal needle was swaying irregularly, as if it was driven by the magic crystal embedded in it.

“Then… I can perform divination now!”

Bick closed his eyes, thinking about what materials he should divine.

Of course, he did not think that all materials could be divined. For example, if he wanted to divine the position of the wooden board, it would basically be a waste of a chance.

Since then, things like wooden boards were not scarce. Secondly, if there were no wooden boards nearby, searching led by needle position might take him to a very far place and he might not reached the designated position within an hour. By then, the function of the compass would have lost its effect.

Thinking of this, Bick looked at the island in front of him. As if he was gambling on his luck, he asked the compass, “Tell me the location of the seed.”

A magical scene appeared.

The needle of the material divination compass suddenly accelerated and rotated. Then, its speed slowly decreased and finally pointed in a certain direction.

Bick looked in the direction of the needle and saw that the needle was pointing in a direction on the island.

Although the sky had already darkened, Bick could not bear to be curious. He prepared to go up and look for the direction of the needle to see if there was really a seed.

Therefore, he took his backpack and left the raft, leaving Einstein to guard it.

The entire island had already been plundered by Bick, so what was in front of him was basically clear at a glance. There was no need to look hard.

Of course, Bick had been to the direction the compass was pointing to. He had cut down two small trees when he was here, but he did not find anything else.

As he walked, the compass suddenly made a 180-degree turn and pointed behind Bick.

“Hmm? Is it here?”

Bick took a step back and looked down. He found nothing but black soil.

“Is… the seed buried under the soil?”

Thinking of this possibility, Bick immediately took out the universal tool hammer in his wooden backpack and turned it into a shovel. He dug out a small piece of soil with the shovel.

[You obtained soil x1!]

[You obtained carrot seed x1!]

“Carrot seed?”

“I really dug out the seed!”

“Awesome! Awesome! This compass is so useful!”

Bick was really surprised. Although he already knew the use of the material divination compass, he still found it very novel to use it to find materials.

With it, he could have anything he wanted in the future!

“Oh right! There is ordinary soil on this island. Is there any high-quality cultivation soil?”

Bick guessed in his heart. He looked at the compass in his hand and nodded calmly.

“I will use it to do divination tomorrow. I will naturally know by then. If I can get some high-quality cultivation soil, my crops will be able to harvest fruits earlier with those soil.”

With the carrot seeds that he had just harvested, Bick returned to the raft.

At this time, the sky was almost completely dark. Einstein and Bick had been busy all day, and they seemed to be tired.

Seeing that Bick had returned, they finally found a place to close their eyes and sleep quietly. Bick yawned and laid on the raft, closing his eyes and falling asleep…
