Raft for All: Why are you the only one doing island survival?

Chapter 5: Trading planks for scrap metal? The whole server laughed at me for being stupid, but I ma

"I took apart two planks and made a spear, but the raft got smaller and I couldn't even stand up straight..."

"Has anyone found any tin cans? I found three, all empty. Can I melt them down and use them as tools?"

"What's the use of scrap metal? You don't even have a furnace. It's just taking up space."

"I also have some scrap metal here. There are several pieces floating on the sea, but I don't know what to do with them after I pull them out."

"We should collect more timber; the planks are our lifeline."

Lin Feng smiled slightly.

This is exactly what he wanted.

On the first day of raft survival, what was the most lacking thing for everyone? Planks.

Planks can be used to expand a raft; the larger the raft, the more stable it is, and the more stable it is, the safer it is.

And what about the iron? There was no furnace, no blueprints. All they got was a piece of scrap iron that they couldn't eat or drink, and it just took up space on the raft.

For those struggling at sea, iron is just garbage.

But for Lin Feng, iron blocks are a key raw material for upgrading his combat power.

He needs iron, and they need wood.

Lin Feng opened the trading hall directly.

He put something in the shelf.

board.

One piece of wood can be broken down into two basic planks. He had hundreds of pieces of wood in stock, and he easily broke them down into fifty planks.

In the price column, he filled in the exchange terms.

A piece of wood can be exchanged for a piece of iron.

Available!

The transaction link was automatically pushed to the public channel.

[Trade Information: Player "Lin Feng" has listed the item - Basic Wooden Plank x1, exchange requirement: Iron Block x1.]

The channel was silent for half a second.

Then, it completely exploded.

"Wait, am I seeing things? Someone's trading planks for iron?"

"Trading planks for scrap metal???"

"Is this guy out of his mind? Those planks are so precious! I spent the whole afternoon collecting just three!"

"What's the use of iron? In the current situation, iron is just garbage!"

"Hilarious! A total bastard has appeared! Brothers, hurry and get him replaced! Before he realizes what's happening!"

"I have two pieces of scrap metal. Should I trade them? But... trading one piece of iron for one piece of wood feels like I'm getting a huge bargain..."

After the message was sent, a private chat window popped up immediately.

"Brother, trading one for one is too unfair, isn't it? I have five pieces of iron. How about you give me three planks in exchange for one piece of iron?"

Lin Feng didn't even blink before turning it off.

"Brother, I have eight pieces of iron, but one for one isn't enough. At least two planks for one piece of iron. Do you have plenty of planks?"

Turn off.

"Boss, can I add some seaweed? Five pieces of iron plus twenty bundles of seaweed, and you'll give me ten planks?"

Turn off.

Lin Feng leaned against the tree trunk, private messages popping up one after another. He scrolled them off one by one, too lazy to reply to a single one.

Take it or leave it.

The noise is still going on on the public channel.

"What's this guy after? The iron is useless!"

"What if the iron comes in handy later?"

"What happens next? You need to survive tonight first! The most important thing right now is to expand the raft!"

Just then, a message popped up.

"I'll change."

A notification pops up on the trading panel.

[Player "Lonely Old Man in a Straw Hat" initiates a trade: 3 Iron Blocks in exchange for 3 Wooden Planks.]

Lin Feng clicked "confirm".

Three dark iron blocks appeared out of thin air in the backpack, while three wooden planks disappeared at the same time.

Once the deal was finalized, the channel became even more lively.

"Did someone really change?"

"Three pieces of iron for three planks, this man really desperately needs planks."

"I saw his previous message, saying that the raft was washed away by the waves and only one plank was left. If it is not expanded, it will have to be used to feed the fish."

"There's no other way, saving your life is the priority."

"But iron is really useless..."

Before he could finish speaking, the second transaction followed immediately.

[Player "The Salted Fish's Comeback" initiates a trade: 5 Iron Blocks in exchange for 5 Wooden Planks.]

confirm.

The third stroke.

[Player "I Don't Want to Die" initiates a trade: 4 Iron Blocks in exchange for 4 Wooden Planks.]

confirm.

In the following minutes, transaction notifications kept popping up.

Those who salvaged a pile of scrap metal from the sea and desperately needed planks said they didn't want them, but their actions betrayed them perfectly.

The mockery continued on the public channel.

"How much iron has this guy collected? Thirty pieces? Doesn't it get heavy piling it up on the raft?"

"I bet the raft was crushed by the iron weight, hahaha."

"Lord Iron, I admire you!"

……

Lin Feng watched all of this with a blank expression.

He switched to the backpack page, where the number of iron blocks was jumping up and down like crazy.

31...36...42...

When the last transaction was completed, all fifty planks were sold.

And it lay quietly in his backpack.

Iron block: 47.

Forty-seven pieces of iron.

enough.

He shut down the trading floor.

Then, open the production panel.

[Iron Axe]: 2 Iron Blocks + 1 Wood + 1 Vines

Put the ingredients in.

confirm!

A brand new iron axe appeared out of nowhere.

Come again!

The second one.

The third one.

The fourth one.

The fifth one!

Lin Feng crafted five iron axes in one go, which gleamed coldly and were arranged in a row on the ground.

Including the one in the square-faced man's hand, there are six in total.

Six lumberjacks, six iron axes, one for each of them, just right.

He stood up and shouted towards the woodland where the sounds of logging were still coming from.

"Come here, everyone!"

The sound of logging stopped abruptly.

Six burly men emerged from different directions, with the square-faced man leading the way, his iron axe still slung over his shoulder.

"Owner!"

The six people stood in a row.

The stone axes in the hands of five of them were in a terrible state, with the blades rolled up like they had been chewed by a dog, and the handles were covered in cracks.

Lin Feng bent down and picked up five brand-new iron axes from the ground.

"Throw away the stone axe."

The five burly men simultaneously looked down at the junk in their hands, then suddenly looked up at the gleaming iron weapon in Lin Feng's hand, their breath catching in their throats.

The burly man on the far left trembled, and the stone axe fell to the ground with a "thud," without him even glancing at it.

Lin Feng handed over the iron axes one by one.

The first burly man took the iron axe with both hands and gently rubbed the axe blade with his fingertips.

"hiss--"

A white mark instantly appeared on the fingertip.

"So fast!" He looked up at Lin Feng, his eyes wide open, his voice trembling.

The second burly man took it, swung it sharply, and the crisp, clean sound of it cutting through the air made him grin.

"Master! This axe can split a tree in two in one go!"

The third burly man pressed the iron axe directly against his face, feeling the cool metallic texture, and comfortably closed his eyes.

The people around were stunned.

What are you doing?

"It's cool."

The square-faced man stood to one side, looked down at the old iron axe on his shoulder that he had used for half a day, and then looked at the brand-new ones in the hands of the others. He subconsciously hid his treasure behind his back.

Lin Feng glanced at him.

"Don't switch to that one, just use it for now."

The square-faced man immediately hugged the iron axe back to his arms, nodded emphatically, and grinned from ear to ear.

Six people, six iron axes, all of them have changed their clothes.

Lin Feng raised his hand and pointed towards the woods, his voice turning cold.

"Keep cutting."

"But this time is different."

He scanned the six people in one go.

"Don't cut any deeper. Just clear the area around the camp! Use this big tree as the center and cut down all the other trees within a 50-meter radius!"

"yes!"

The six burly men roared in unison, startling the birds overhead into flight.

The square-faced giant was the first to rush out, swinging his iron axe in a wide arc. With a crisp "crack," the tree trunk, as thick as a bowl, snapped in two!

The other five followed closely behind and dispersed.

The sound of an iron axe chopping into wood is completely different from that of a stone axe.

The stone axe makes a dull "thump" sound and takes three or four blows to break.

When the iron axe struck, there was a crisp "crack" sound, wood chips flew high into the air, and a tree crashed to the ground in just a few blows.

The sound of heavy felling came from six directions at the same time.

Lin Feng stood in the center of the camp, and the trees around him fell one after another, opening up his field of vision at a visible speed.

Sunlight streamed down from above, creating a large clearing in what was originally a dark woodland.

On the resource statistics page, the timber quantity is jumping even faster.

This speed is several times faster than before!

With six iron axes working simultaneously, it wouldn't be a problem to stockpile two hundred logs before nightfall.

Lin Feng squatted down and used a twig to draw a rough layout of the camp on the ground.

The water purification system was placed on the north side, the barbecue grill in the middle, and the wall was built along the edge of the cleared open space.
