As Bick’s speed increased, the distance between him and the supplies on the sea also decreased. In less than 20 minutes, he had already begun to approach the drifting supplies.
Bick began to slow down, but the speed of the raft was too fast, so he could not slow down immediately.
Seeing that he was about to be loaded into this wave of supplies, Bick anxiously paddled in the opposite direction.
But an unexpected thing happened!
Probably because its speed was too fast, it actually knocked a small wooden barrel directly onto the floor of his raft.
Gulp!
The small wooden barrel rolled a few rounds on the raft and stopped when it hit the long spear launcher.
“It can still be like this?”
Bick slightly raised his eyebrows and suddenly had a bold idea.
He did not slow down anymore. Instead, he continued to accelerate towards the direction where the materials were densest.
The raft broke through the seawater and rushed towards the direction where the materials were.
Flapping!
The acceleration caused a strong current. As the waves rolled, the materials were directly hit by Bick’s raft.
Pitter-patter…
Wood, plastic bottles, and cans landed on Bick’s raft one after another. In the blink of an eye, one-fifth of the materials had already landed on it.
“This method saves a lot of effort!”
Bick smiled proudly and adjusted the direction of the raft. He raised his head and ordered Einstein, “Einstein, help me retrieve the supplies that are further away!”
Einstein let out a cry and dived down toward a supply that was further away. He was like an eagle hunting. His claws instantly grabbed a plastic bottle. Then, he flapped his wings and flew to the top of the raft. He then threw the plastic bottle down.
At this time, Bick had already turned the raft around and started to paddle faster toward the area with denser materials.
As the raft increased in speed, the front end of the raft churned. Then, almost all the materials that the raft hit landed on the raft.
Another two lucky small wooden buckets were hit by Bick in this rough way.
Then, using the same method, Bick aimed at the other two buckets and the materials gathered together.
As the waves rolled, the raft once again made crackling sounds. Almost all the materials hit by Bick went onto the raft.
During this time, Einstein had almost gathered all the materials that were further away. Only wood, which was heavier, was left.
Bick threw the plastic hook to Einstein, and held the straw rope that was tied to the plastic hook tightly in his hand. “Hook the rest of the materials, and we’ll fish them up together!”
Einstein held the plastic hook in his mouth and shouted excitedly a few times before starting to work.
Pieces of wood were pulled onto the raft by Bick, and the last few plastic bottles were also picked up by Einstein one by one.
After all the materials had been salvaged, Einstein stood excitedly on the five lucky small wooden barrels, as if he was looking forward to the good things that were inside of them.
Bick smiled and said to Einstein, “There’s no rush. Let’s tidy up the materials on the raft first.”
Although the speed of salvaging the materials by collision were very fast, the materials were scattered everywhere. Bick collected them, broke them down, and put them into the storage box.
Then he clapped his hands and came to the five lucky small wooden buckets.
“Now, you can open the buckets. As usual, open all five at once!”
“Ou ou ou! Ou ou ou ou!”
Einstein nodded in agreement and jumped down from the small wooden barrels.
Bick was very fast. With five consecutive sounds, the five lucky small wooden buckets were opened at almost the same time.
In the next moment, a series of rich resources appeared in front of him.
[You have opened five lucky small wooden buckets!]
[You have obtained glass bottle x2!]
[You have obtained wood x8!]
[You have obtained can x6!]
[You have obtained plastic bottle x3!]
[You have obtained high-capacity jacket x1!]
[You have obtained low-speed engine manufacturing schematics!]
Bick did not focus on the basic materials at all. Instead, he focused on the two rare items that dropped out at the end.
“High-capacity jacket? This thing sounds a little strange…”
Bick checked the description of the item and finally understood why it was called a high-capacity jacket.
[High-capacity jacket]
[Level: high quality]
[Explanation: It has an average thermal function, but it can indeed provide a certain degree of protection against the cold. Its biggest feature is that it has six pockets, which can be used as a storage space. It is a portable storage tool!]
This is okay?
Bick did not hesitate to put the jacket on his body. He found that the jacket indeed had six pockets, which was equivalent to a low-quality wooden backpack.
Although the wooden backpack had nine compartments, it was not convenient to use, and it was heavier. Although this high-capacity jacket only had six storage compartments, it was much lighter to wear, and it also had a certain warmth effect.
After wearing this jacket, he would not have to carry the backpack all the time.
Thinking of this, Bick stuffed the universal tool hammer, telescope, and plastic cans into the high-capacity jacket.
“This is much easier!”
Bick was very satisfied with this item because it was too practical!
Next, he focused on the low-speed engine manufacturing schematics. It was obvious that this item was of extraordinary quality.
After all, until now, all of Bick’s work could only be done manually. If he had a low-speed engine, he might be able to achieve automatic functions.
When that time came, wouldn’t it be easier for him!
[Low-speed engine]
[Level: inferior]
[Explanation: A barely usable engine. It’s a sketch drawn by an unknown scientist after he drank too much. Although the quality isn’t good, it won’t explode!]
Seeing such an introduction, Bick’s eyebrows started to jump.
This introduction sounded too unreliable. What if it really exploded…
“Forget it, let’s see how to make it first!”
Bick looked at the manufacturing principle. He expected the lack of materials.
[Low-speed engine: Battery (0/2), metal wire (0/6), mechanical module (0/2), magnet (0/2), metal plate (4/4)]
“Battery, metal wire, mechanical module, magnet… There’s only one kind of material…”
The corner of Bick’s mouth twitched speechlessly. He decided to wait for a while before making such an advanced thing. At the very least, he had to gather all the materials first.
He estimated that materials like mechanical modules and magnets were probably rarer than mana crystals.
“Hmm… Sign in first to ease my disappointment!”
Bick shook his head and decided to sign in first to receive today’s reward!
As Bick’s speed increased, the distance between him and the supplies on the sea also decreased. In less than 20 minutes, he had already begun to approach the drifting supplies.
