Thirteen thousand thirteen

Three hours ago, Liyue:
This is a trash game. I’ll play for an hour and forty minutes, then request a refund.
Then, in the blink of an eye, three hours passed.
Now, Liyue:
I’m going to open a zoo!
I want to be a master island builder!!
I want to be a culinary god!!!
Getting addicted to a game is just that simple.jpg
After eating Liyue’s cooking, the satiety level still dropped as expected. Eventually, once again, Kaido hunted and Newgate grilled the meat, making barbecue the official dinner.
After finishing that round of cooking, Liyue temporarily set aside developing new recipes, since the shipbuilding project was still unfinished.
Although exploring new catalog entries was interesting, crafting items to satisfy the players’ hoarding tendencies was equally important.
Neither Kaido nor Newgate said they would settle on the island as her residents; once the ship was ready, they would set sail and leave. Liyue wanted to take advantage of having two laborers now to stockpile more materials.
Previously, she observed Kaido’s punches—three punches before, now just one to fell a tree; Newgate was even stronger, with a single punch creating an area-of-effect that toppled an entire cluster of trees.
The system said this was the power of the “Quake-Quake Fruit.” No option popped up for the player to learn this skill, so it must be exclusive to the Polar Bear.
By contrast, Liyue had tried hitting trees with Armament Haki. Her Armament Haki was now level 2, freeing her from the previous limitation where using it immobilized her.
But even attacking with it, she deliberately chose identical trees as references, and the result was dismal—she needed 35 hits to chop down one tree!
Pressing the button continuously, a full 35 presses were required!
System: (Armament Haki proficiency +1)
Thirty-five presses yielded only a single point of improvement.
Liyue gave up on chopping trees, thinking woodworking would yield better progress.
As for chopping trees, since she had two free laborers for now, she decided to leave it to them.
(In Kaido and Newgate’s eyes, Liyue clearly had such proficient Armament Haki, yet couldn’t even break a tree with her fists. Their shared thought was: this girl really isn’t skilled in combat—she probably never realized fists could be used as weapons.)
Another day passed in the game. After dinner, Liyue sat in the camp, returning to her shipbuilding endeavor.
Repeatedly clicking the same item, watching the crafted goods and backpack quantities steadily increase—some might find it tedious, but to Liyue, it was profoundly satisfying.
As long as she had enough materials, she could click away for a whole hour until reaching the limit.

Liyue first crafted [Grass Rope], unlocking the next tier of items linked to it: [Wooden Plank].
After crafting [Wooden Plank], many new items became available.
In daily life, unlocked items included [Wooden Table], [Wooden Chair], [Wooden Bed], [Wooden Cabinet], and so on;
In construction, unlocked items included [Wooden Door], [Wooden Wall], [Fence], etc.;
In weapons, unlocked items included [Wooden Stick], [Wooden Club], [Wooden Sword], [Wooden Cage]. There were also weapons like [Bow and Arrow] and [Spear] requiring metal ore, but lack of materials prevented crafting them.
Although Liyue was a life-simulation farming player, she was not uninterested in combat. At least, to protect herself, she leaned towards crafting various weapons to fend off external threats.
While checking materials needed for crafting weapons, Liyue became curious about the attributes of the weapons the animals carried themselves.
She couldn’t view detailed info on the Polar Bear’s weapon due to insufficient affection, only knowing its naginata was named “Murakumo.” The exact attack power was unclear.
As for Kaido, his spiked club was simply called “Spiked Club,” with very ordinary attributes, seemingly a common standard weapon.
Its base attack was 500, but Kaido specialized in spiked clubs, gaining a 60% attack bonus on all such weapons.
Liyue felt she had discovered a new world.
She then asked Newgate if she could see his weapon. The Polar Bear generously laid the naginata across Liyue’s hands—
System prompt:
[Your strength stat is insufficient to equip [Murakumo]! ]
Vividly, the character seemed unable to bear the naginata’s weight, and it crashed to the ground with a loud thud.
The Polar Bear laughed heartily.
But Liyue didn’t actually intend to equip the weapon. Just briefly touching it was enough to see its attribute details.
[Weapon: Murakumo. Bound user: Edward Newgate]
[Attack power: 13,500. Attack range:]
……
Liyue closed the attribute page immediately.
How could the gap between humans and animals be so vast?
Any random animal drifting onto the island, wielding any weapon, had such tremendous attack power??
Then she thought of the weapons she had just unlocked but couldn’t craft due to lack of raw materials—
[Basic Bow]: Attack power 35.
Page (3/3)
[Basic Spear]: Attack power 50.
Since they were basic, Liyue could understand that once higher levels unlocked, their attack power would definitely increase, perhaps reaching several hundred, comparable to Kaido’s spiked club...
But Liyue could hardly imagine that even advanced spears, guns, or bows could suddenly balloon in stats to over 10,000 attack power like [Murakumo].
Seeing Kaido’s spiked club attack power, she thought: hmm, acceptable.
Seeing the golden, dazzling attribute panel of [Murakumo]...
Greed makes me unrecognizable.jpg
Liyue asked, “Is this a rare weapon obtained by special means?”
“Exactly.” The Polar Bear picked up the naginata with pride: “In this world, there are twelve supreme great blades, and Murakumo is one of them.”
Liyue: Understood.
Another collectible element, and judging by the name, a very difficult all-SSR-level catalog entry.
But since she was still in the early stages of her island, she decided not to dream of SSR-level items yet.
The more Liyue played, the more she realized this game had many features. Especially for completionists obsessed with collecting every catalog entry, it must demand considerable dedication.
Fortunately, Liyue never had OCD, so she set aside distant goals and focused on the present.
[You are skilled in woodworking, self-taught, and suddenly a novel idea appears in your mind!]
[You have comprehended: [Mortise and Tenon Structure]! ]
[You try assembling wooden planks with mortise and tenon joints, making the ship hull sturdier!]
[Your superb shipbuilding technique greatly reduces the use of [Iron Nails]. The materials now required to craft a [Simple Sailboat] are:]
[Grass Rope: (50/50)] (Completed)
