Chapter 1: Registration System, Cornerstone, Island Tablet
"Where did I end up?"
Xiao Yi looked puzzled at the vast sea before him.
He looked beneath his feet at a four-square meter island. All around him were - wood, stone, a stone tablet, a worn fishing net accidentally thrown ashore, and nothing else.
Xiao Yi thought hard, hoping to understand how he got to this place.
The last thing he remembered was that he was still in the office building.
Suddenly a blindingly white light flashed in the sky, and when he regained his normal vision, he was in this place.
The trees and rocks here were ordinary things, and the tattered fishing net on the bank was nothing special.
Xiao Yi approached the black stone tablet in the center of the island and was surprised to find a screen on it.
"What is this thing?"
Xiao Yi looked at the screen and studied it carefully.
There were five panels on it: [public channel], [private channel], [trade hall], [map], and [construction].
Xiao Yi immediately clicked on the panel called [map]. He wanted to know what ghostly place he was in.
The map opened, with only one bright spot on the entire interface and an illuminated circular area around it.
"Maybe this is my location on this island, and no other places are visible beside it?"
Xiao Yi pondered:
"Then what is this map for?"
Then he clicked on the other four panels and found they were all blank.
"This interface looks like a gaming interface."
Xiao Yi thought.
Suddenly the stone tablet glowed, and Xiao Yi nervously took a step back. Still, when he saw nothing unusual happening to the tablet, he walked over again to examine it more closely.
A text appeared on the public channel, much to his surprise. How did we suddenly find ourselves in the middle of the sea?
"Yes, I have the same question, I haven't had breakfast yet, and I'm starving."
"Can someone explain what's going on? I am panic-stricken by the sea! Even an island of such a small area! One surge, and it will probably go completely under the water."
"I want to go home. I want my mom! Oooooooooo."
Seeing the messages on the public channel, Xiao Yi realized that he wasn't the only one who found himself on this cursed island.
"People, don't waste time. Go quickly to find the crates of supplies in the sea. They contain the supplies we need!"
That was one of the messages on the public channel.
After this message appeared, the public channel immediately quieted down. It must have been because many people had gone to look for the supply crates!
Xiao Yi walked to the shore and saw a crate about one cubic meter in size floating near the island.
"How do I get it?"
Xiao Yi saw a fishing net on the side:
"Is this a test of our survival abilities?"
It didn't matter. Now it was better to make sure he survived. Xiao Yi grabbed the fishing net.
But he didn't know how to use it.
He was an ordinary company employee and had never cast a fishing net into the sea.
Still, we should try it!
Xiao Yi picked up the fishing net and threw it into the supply box.
The net landed next to the box and slowly sank into the sea.
One more time!
Past it again!
Again!
The same thing!
"Do I have to swim after him?"
Xiao Yi frowned; he couldn't swim at all.
He could try to swim if he was in a pool, but he wouldn't try to swim in the sea! He would die if he tried to do that!
Xiao Yi looked closely at the beach and found that the edges of the beach went deep into the sea. Could it be that his island was a cylinder protruding from the bottom of the sea?
"Ding, the registration system is activated!"
As Xiao Yi was thinking, a voice suddenly sounded in his head.
"What, the system? Registration?"
The sudden voice dumbfounded Xiao Yi.
"Registration was successful, fully automatic fishing net received."
Xiao Yi was surprised:
"Am I crazy to think about fishing nets? Where is the fully automatic fishing net?"
"The items received after registration will be stored in the system space. Please pick them up yourself."
The same voice came out.
"System space?"
Xiao Yi's eyes widened:
"System!"
Although he still couldn't believe what was happening, Xiao Yi already realized that he had hit the jackpot.
"Get a fully automatic fishing net!"
Just when he managed to utter it, a small interface suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Fully automatic fishing net, SS class tool, select the area and the target object. The net can pull the target object within 320 meters around the set area!"
Xiao Yi's eyes widened again as the information describing the object appeared. He hastily looked at the other things.
"Ripped fishing net: class D tool, a fishing net that has fallen into disrepair, one can only pray that what it catches will not slip through it! The maximum radius of the capture of an object is 10 meters."
"Wood: cut down to get wood, leaves, and bark."
"Stones: by mining them, you will gain a few stones."
"Island Tablet: it will be easy to evolve with it, you will lose it, and it will be hard even to move an inch unless you are strong enough not to need it. You'll also have to protect her to survive!"
Explanatory messages appeared next to all the items, but the item called the Island Tablet caused Xiao Yi some bewilderment!
Although he did not know if these messages that suddenly appeared next to the items were a system function, Xiao Yi knew he had to hurry.
He quickly walked over to the fully automatic fishing net and set the search area.
At this point, he could only select an area along the edge of a two-meter square island, and the target object, naturally, was a crate of supplies. He photographed the nearest one with the system's photo feature.
With the image, the fully automatic fishing net can detect the target itself and capture it!
[Setup] and [Launch]!
The fully automatic fishing net immediately went into motion.
Poof! Suddenly, the net caught the nearest crate, then pulled it ashore in less than ten seconds!
"This net is straightforward to use!"
Just now, he couldn't even hit the crate with the net, and now all he had to do was stand back and watch as the net fished out his crate of supplies.
After pulling the crate to shore, the net automatically retracted, made a "didi-didi-didi" sound, and then moved according to the designated area.
Xiao Yi immediately walked over to the supply crate.
"The supply crate: what you can get out of it depends on luck. Pray for your luck!"
Xiao Yi took off the waterproof film and opened the box.
"Received: cornerstone*2, wood*2, mineral water 500ml*2, bread 100g*1."
"Great!"
Xiao Yi rejoiced when he saw the food and water. You had to have food and water to survive. Everything else was secondary!
But when Xiao Yi looked at the two cornerstones, his heart skipped a beat.
"Cornerstone: can increase the island's area by 1 square meter. Note: don't forget to increase the island area as soon as possible. The sea will flood the island area square meter every week!"
