Chen Mo immediately searched the other party's ID and sent a private message to ask for the price.
【(Chen Mo) I'll trade my Small Sea Fish for your gloves!】
【Two!】
【(Chen Mo) Just one!】
【Two, one is not enough to eat at all!】
【(Chen Mo) Then I'm sorry, I don't want it anymore.】
【Wait? I'll add a piece of metal for two fish!】
【(Chen Mo) Won't I lose more? Forget it, I don't really need gloves anyway. You're so generous, find someone else to trade with!】
Chen Mo didn't believe it. Who would be willing to trade for food now?
If he hadn't known about the supplies in the ice and had Old Floating Ice's reminder, he wouldn't have been able to get so many Small Sea Fish.
It would be even harder for others!
Sure enough, in less than a minute, the other party came back.
【Brother, I'll trade a pair of gloves, three pieces of metal, and one piece of glass for two Small Sea Fish. That's not too much, is it?】
He needed the metal, and he hadn't encountered glass yet, so it should be relatively rare.
It's not a loss.
【(Chen Mo) Okay, trade!】
As soon as the other party saw him nod, they immediately sent a trade request.
【Trade successful, obtained: Thread Gloves x1,】
Instantly, he had a pair of gloves and four materials beside him.
【Thread Gloves】
【Description: Ordinary thread gloves, with a slight warming effect.】
Chen Mo shook his head slightly, feeling like this exchange might have been a bit of a loss?
Well, it's good to have something to wear.
He put the gloves on his hands. They were okay, somewhat useful.
Next, Chen Mo traded one Small Sea Fish for 5 pieces of metal.
He had enough metal to make the large grill, plus two extra pieces of metal that could be used to make a small iron basin to melt crushed ice and boil water to drink.
Perfect!
Chen Mo got busy.
He crafted directly above the Fire Pile, first using 6 pieces of metal to synthesize 6 iron wires, and then synthesizing the grill body.
Soon, a full metal grill was completed.
It had four supporting legs and a metal mesh made of iron wires on top.
Chen Mo also synthesized a small iron basin slightly smaller than a washbasin, put a small piece of crushed ice into it, and after the Small Sea Fish were grilled, he would put the iron basin on the grill to boil water!
He simply prepared three Small Sea Fish and put them on the grill. The texture of the Small Sea Fish gradually softened, but because there was no place to shelter from the wind, it would take some time to cook them thoroughly.
Chen Mo squatted on the Floating Ice, grilling by the fire, and vaguely heard some movement.
"So heavy..."
"Too heavy..."
What was complaining?
The sound was very faint, clearly not from Old Floating Ice. Chen Mo listened carefully again, suspecting the sound came from below, from the Sea?
There must be something below!
Below the surface of the Sea, he definitely couldn't see it, but...
He suddenly remembered the Old Floating Ice beneath his feet, knocked on it, and asked, "Old Floating Ice, did you hear anything?"
"Snore... Snore..."
Chen Mo was speechless for a moment.
Is this Old Ice floe pretending to sleep?
Fine!
You wait!
Without hesitation, Chen Mo picked up a piece of wood and threw it into the Fire Pile!
"Ah ya ya ya! You're still adding firewood?"
"Not pretending anymore?"
Chen Mo looked at Old Floating Ice with a look of contempt and directly ordered, "See what's talking beneath the surface of the Sea."
"You wait, Old Ice floe will see, the visibility of this seawater is too low..."
"Stop rambling!"
"Old Ice floe sees clearly! It's a turtle carrying a Stone Tablet!"
Chen Mo almost fell on his butt. "Can't you see clearly before you speak!"
"Old Ice floe is so old, can't he be presbyopic? This time I see clearly, it's a turtle carrying a box!"
"A turtle carrying a box? A Treasure Chest?"
"Maybe..."
"Where is it?"
"Below me!"
Chen Mo immediately grabbed the fishing net. He couldn't miss a Treasure Chest!
He immediately plunged the fishing net into the seawater and asked Old Floating Ice, "Quick, point me in a direction?"
"A little to your left!"
Chen Mo immediately moved a little to the left.
"Deeper!"
Chen Mo extended the fishing net downwards.
"It's about to hit your net!"
"Hold it, don't move!"
"It hit! Pull in the net quickly!"
Chen Mo immediately pulled up the fishing net, instantly feeling a bit heavy. His feet slipped, and he almost slid directly under the Floating Ice!
He quickly stepped back and slammed the fishing net forcefully onto the Floating Ice.
With a muffled bang!
Crack!
"My heavens, you really cracked Old Ice floe!"
Chen Mo turned around and saw that what he had pulled up was a black metal box. One corner of the box was embedded in the Floating Ice, and a small crack had appeared along where it had dug in...
Damn it!
It can really crack???
Chen Mo was a little panicked. "Quick! How do I fix the crack?"
"Pour fresh water on the crack!!!"
Old Floating Ice screamed heartbreakingly. Chen Mo couldn't get fresh water immediately, so he could only first take the Small Sea Fish off the grill, put the small iron basin on it to heat, wait for the ice to melt into water, and then use it to repair the crack.
Fortunately, the crack wasn't deep, and the Floating Ice wouldn't break apart anytime soon!
Chen Mo felt a little relieved and then remembered to ask Old Floating Ice, "Where did the turtle carrying the Treasure Chest go?"
"Your fishing net is so small, it couldn't hold it, so of course it ran away!"
"You still have the mood to ask about that?"
"Old Ice floe is about to split in half!"
Chen Mo chose to ignore him.
This Old Ice floe always exaggerates when he speaks.
Anyway, the ice was already heating up, and the crack could be repaired in at most ten minutes. Might as well see what's in the Treasure Chest first.
Chen Mo approached the Treasure Chest, and the information popped up.
【frozen iron treasure chest】
【Description: frozen iron treasure chest can yield more rare supplies!】
Rare supplies?
Reliable!
Chen Mo immediately opened the Treasure Chest.
A faint light flashed, and a large pile of supplies appeared beside him.
【You opened frozen iron treasure chest x1!】
【Obtained: Glass x2!】
【Obtained: Metal x2!】
【Obtained: Granite x2!】
【Obtained: Spiked meteor hammer x1!】
All the materials that dropped were rare materials, and there was even a finished weapon!
Chen Mo looked surprised and immediately checked the Spiked meteor hammer.
【Spiked meteor hammer】
【Description: A metal handle and a spiked spherical hammerhead are connected by an iron chain over a meter long. The damage is terrifying, and the damage from hitting yourself is also terrifying~】
"Nice!?"
Chen Mo picked up the meteor hammer. The metal handle was cold. He looked at the Floating Ice that already had a crack and decided not to try playing with this thing for now.
If he accidentally smashed the Floating Ice and cracked it, it wouldn't be worth the gain~
Putting the meteor hammer aside for now, Chen Mo looked at the small iron basin. The crushed ice in the basin had already melted halfway.
The crack could be repaired soon!
He was grilling by the fire, gently shaking the iron basin, when suddenly he heard Old Floating Ice let out a terrifying scream!
"My! Life! Is! Over!"
"Shark! Fish! Ah!"
"Coming! Over! Here!"
Chen Mo turned his head and saw a blue tail fin break through the surface of the Sea, rushing towards his Floating Ice!
Its huge body was still surfacing!
