Others try to survive on an island, I try to survive on a raft?

Chapter 32 Strategic Talent

"Oh?"

Su Jin looked at Shen Qiaoqiao with some surprise, not expecting that this little girl also had talent.

He had previously made some guesses as to why Shen Ruying and Shen Qiaoqiao would appear on the same island.

At the time, he thought that Shen Qiaoqiao might be too young, and forcibly giving her an island would be almost a death sentence.

The system probably wouldn't be that bored, so it assigned the two of them to an island.

But he never imagined that Shen Qiaoqiao would also have talent. He thought that the reason for assigning Shen Qiaoqiao was simply to help the little girl survive.

The main problem is that he didn't ask, and the girl herself didn't bring it up... no, that's not right.

Su Jin remembered that Shen Qiaoqiao should have discovered her talent quite early on, but she didn't say anything because he was an outsider at the time.

So he didn't tell his mother until he left.

Tsk tsk, little girls really know what's going on in their minds...

He shook his head inwardly, not blaming anyone, but finding it amusing; it was indeed something only a child would do.

But clearly, Shen Ruying, as an adult, knew that since they were already in the same boat and trusted each other, there was no need to continue hiding it.

So she now plans to be honest with Su Jin and apologize to him with her daughter.

Seeing that Shen Ruying wanted to continue speaking, Su Jin raised his hand to stop the young woman.

"Ruying, don't say anything, let Qiaoqiao do it herself."

He turned to look at the little girl, a gentle smile on his face, and said in as gentle a tone as possible:

"Qiaoqiao, come tell me, what kind of talent did you acquire? Don't worry, I won't blame you."

When Shen Qiaoqiao first heard Su Jin say it himself, she thought he was going to interrogate her and was terrified, but Su Jin's words later reassured her a little.

The little girl bit her lip lightly and said in her clear voice:

"Craftsman! This is my talent. I can turn materials into corresponding tools, and I can also improve inferior tools."

As she spoke, she gradually became bolder.

She pointed to the self-made short-handled stone axe that Su Jin was wearing on his waist.

"Uncle, give me your stone axe, I'll show you how."

Su Jin did not refuse, but instead gave the short-handled stone axe to Shen Qiaoqiao.

He wanted to see just how talented the little girl really was.

Shen Qiaoqiao took the short-handled stone axe, and from somewhere took out some flax and placed it on the stone axe.

Then a flash of white light appeared, and when the light faded, the stone axe in her hand was brand new!

The most noticeable change is at the connection point. The part that Su Jin had casually used to bind with grass roots has disappeared, and in its place are several tightly woven knots made of flax fibers.

It binds the axe blade to the wooden handle perfectly, making it more stable.

In addition, the axe blade has also undergone significant changes.

The once unremarkable stone has had its edges polished into smooth lines and has a cold, hard, matte texture.

Even those who don't know much about it can see that the sharpness has been significantly improved.

Finally, there's the axe handle, with a layer of dense linen woven at the end.

In this way, even if you hold it tightly for a long time, you won't feel tired or slippery, making it more comfortable to hold.

Shen Qiaoqiao admired her masterpiece and, with a touch of pride, handed the modified stone axe back to Su Jin.

"Uncle, how was it? I'm pretty good, right? I've been wanting to get my hands on that cheap thing of yours for a while now. Phew, this is finally satisfying."

Her obsessive-compulsive disorder was finally relieved at this moment. If she hadn't been afraid of being exposed, she would have wanted to optimize Su Jin's self-made tool long ago.

Su Jin took the stone axe, and the feeling in his hand was completely different.

He casually swung his hand twice in the air, and you could clearly hear the sound of air being cut through; it was much easier to swing his hand like that.

"Not bad, this is almost as good as an axe made by a master craftsman!"

He was generous, offering heartfelt praise.

This precisely demonstrates Shen Qiaoqiao's remarkable talent. If they could easily make such exquisite tools from readily available materials, they could all become tool wholesalers.

The little girl was quite pleased with the praise, and she put her hands on her hips and hummed:

"Of course! I'm very skilled. If I had the materials, I could make a lot of these axes, and much faster than you, Uncle."

"One game per minute! Ten games in ten minutes! Hehe!"

After using her talent for the first time, Shen Qiaoqiao became extremely arrogant.

Shen Ruying muttered a light grumble at her daughter's impolite words, but her attention was still drawn to the brand-new stone axe.

This was the first time she had seen her daughter display this talent.

Shen Qiaoqiao had previously said that she needed to find flax to make good tools, but as soon as she found flax, she encountered wolves and never had a chance to see them.

Now she felt that her daughter's talent seemed to be even greater than her own, and she couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.

In this way, their daughters will be even more useful, and as long as they are useful, they will not be abandoned!

Of course, she was just overthinking it. Even if Shen Qiaoqiao had no talent, Su Jin wouldn't do something like abandoning a mother and daughter on a deserted island.

Moreover, Shen Qiaoqiao now possesses such powerful talent that Su Jin would evaluate it as a strategic-level talent!

The little girl especially said that her manufacturing speed was almost limitless; she could create anything with the power of the system as long as there were materials, making her practically a humanoid machine.

I never expected that his return would bring such a big surprise in addition to the surprise of Amazon.

However, Su Jin wasn't blinded by joy. He patiently asked Shen Qiaoqiao about some related matters and indeed discovered some problems.

Shen Qiaoqiao's craftsmanship talent extends beyond just making tools; she can also quickly gather materials.

For example, with the wolf carcasses that Su Jin had gathered, she could simply wave her hand and several wolf pelts, devoid of flesh and blood, would appear in her hands.

You should know that if Su Jin were to peel the skin himself, it would take a lot of time.

But it seems that her talent has reached its limit. She cannot directly turn sand into glass; she still needs to use ancient methods to make glass before she can create glass products.

In addition, and most importantly, Shen Qiaoqiao was always brought along by accident, making her a typical burden.

Her biggest problem is that she doesn't have a system panel; she only knows her own talent information, and she can't even view Shen Ruying's island.

To put it simply, it was as if she had awakened superpowers; at the time, she had no idea that this was a world where everyone was struggling to survive.

After learning this, Su Jin understood why the little girl had been so secretive and unwilling to tell him.

It turns out they were unaware of the state of this world, and also unaware that they all possessed talent.

He probably thought he had suddenly awakened superpowers and was afraid of being captured and studied like in the movies, so he didn't dare to say anything.

After the misunderstanding was cleared up, Shen Qiaoqiao felt a pang of disappointment; the little girl's heroic fantasies were shattered into pieces.

"Turns out I'm not the special one after all..."

She can't even taste fish anymore; all she can do is sigh.

After understanding the situation, Su Jin didn't bother with the girl and let her calm down.

Next, he wanted to tell Shen Ruying about what happened on this voyage, and also ask the young woman about the golden fish.

That golden light lingered in his mind.
