However, Luo Feng quickly realized why—on such a scorching day, even doing nothing would make one want to take a cold shower.
Moreover, ever since arriving in this world, they had been constantly salvaging materials from the ocean's surface.
And Tang Xueying, being a girl, was particularly particular about cleanliness.
Thinking this, Luo Feng spoke up: "Sure, but you'll have to wait a bit.
This Perfect Quality Water Purifier needs some time to process enough water for a bath.
In the meantime, I'll find you some bathing supplies.
The water I have has been treated by the Perfect Quality Water Purifier.
It removes all harmful substances from seawater while retaining only the beneficial elements for the body.
So there's no need for you to rush into using seawater directly."
Hearing Luo Feng's words, Tang Xuewei felt as happy as a blooming flower.
She never imagined she could bathe with purified water while stranded at sea.
Of course, seawater could also be used for bathing—after all, people often swam in it.
Regular seawater baths could even be beneficial for health.
But Tang Xuewei was quite conservative and had never bathed in the ocean before.
Besides, the seawater here might not even be clean. Unless absolutely necessary, she would never use seawater directly for bathing.
After all, during a bath, the water would inevitably come into contact with... more private areas.
To be precise, she wanted to bathe completely naked—it was simply her habit.
With this in mind, Tang Xuewei said, "Luo Feng, you're so kind. Thank you so much."
Luo Feng chuckled at her words. "Who else would I treat well if not you?
Hand me the Wooden Treasure Chest.
Let's see if there's anything good inside."
Without hesitation, Tang Xuewei traded the Wooden Treasure Chest to Luo Feng.
Since Luo Feng had always been so good to her, collecting Wooden Treasure Chests for him was the least she could do in return.
At this moment, Tang Xuewei thought to herself—if she could obtain higher-grade treasure chests, Luo Feng would probably be even happier.
From now on, she would work even harder to collect chests for him.
[Wooden Treasure Chest] traded for [Nothing]
After bidding farewell to Tang Xueying, Luo Feng began using the Perfect Quality Water Purifier to produce clean water.
He wasn't in a hurry to open the Wooden Treasure Chest yet—there were more pressing matters at hand.
Meanwhile, Luo Feng opened the chat channel to see if he could trade for some bathing supplies.
The trading platform had become more active again.
The first thing that caught Luo Feng's attention was that water resources had already entered the market.
[200ml Water] traded for [10 Wood] [10 Palm Leaves]
[Inflatable Doll Blueprint] traded for [1 Golden Banana]
[1 Bar of Soap] traded for [100ml Water]
"I'm so thirsty I might die! This heat is unbearable—I might become the first person to die of thirst here.
If only I'd drunk more water before going to sleep last night..."
"I'm almost at my limit. Can't you people with water sell it a bit cheaper?
I worked so hard to salvage a piece of wood, and all I got in return was a single sip of water. These profiteers are ruthless."
"Just picked up a bar of soap. Anyone need it? Only 100 milliliters of water. Don't miss out!"
"I'm Master Ma. Anyone interested in learning my Lightning Five-Hit Combo? Just one bottle of water, and I guarantee you'll master it."
Luo Feng scanned the area and indeed found quite a few hygiene products.
He then posted a message: "Anyone with bath supplies can come to me. I have purified water for trade."
The moment Luo Feng's message went up, the chat channel exploded. In their eyes, Luo Feng was now synonymous with a resource tycoon.
"Holy crap! Shura God has finally arrived, and he didn't disappoint—this time with purified water!
The daily supplies I've collected can finally be put to use."
"Shura God, I have a pair of my own 'original flavor' stockings here. Want them? I don't ask for much—just a big banana in exchange."
"Others trade with wood, but Shura Boss trades with purified water. Truly a resource tycoon.
I wonder how he's acquiring supplies so quickly?
Has he really entered a resource-rich sea zone?"
Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, Luo Feng didn't hold back and soon acquired plenty of bath supplies—towels, shower gel, toothbrushes, toothpaste, and more.
When Luo Feng saw the pile of items before him, he was stunned.
Who would've thought this oceanic world had such a variety of things inside treasure chests?
For some people, obtaining these items now wasn't necessarily a good thing—after all, they couldn't eat or drink them.
When you're on the brink of starvation or dehydration, who cares about these tools?
But some had already figured out that Luo Feng had abundant resources and might just have a taste for these things. So, they held onto them, waiting for Luo Feng to come online and trade.
Now, this situation had confirmed their suspicions.
Among them was one person whose item hadn't sold yet, but he was confident Luo Feng would eventually need it—the Inflatable Doll Blueprint.
Seeing that he'd collected enough, Luo Feng spoke up: "From now on, anyone with these items can come to me for trade.
Water is guaranteed.
Enough talk—I've gathered enough purified water. Time for a bath first.
This sea is unbearably hot. Who knows when this ordeal will end?"
The moment Luo Feng finished speaking, the chat channel erupted.
"Holy crap! Am I seeing this right? Shura God is going to use purified water for a bath? That's such a waste!
I haven't even had a single sip of water yet, and Shura God has so much he's bathing in it.
Comparing yourself to others is just asking for misery.
At this point, I feel like jumping into the sea and drowning myself."
"Shura God, could you please not throw away your bathwater? Give it to me instead."
"Wow, the person above is seriously disgusting. Who would even want bathwater? I must express my strongest condemnation.
So, Shura God, you should give your bathwater to me instead. We can't let someone like that get their hands on it—who knows what terrible things they might do with it."
