Crossing the wilderness to survive, starting with a broken kitchen knife.

The next morning, Zhang Shi got a big surprise when he signed in. This time, the sign-in reward was an artifact-level prop.

System prompts, congratulations on signing in and getting:

[Wild World VIP Membership Card 7 days x1]

[Absolute Sovereignty (Pink) x1: A divine item that can freely restrict any spatial movement within the territory.]

After Zhang Shi used his membership card and placed the artifact in the villa, a new window immediately appeared on the system panel, containing a list of permissions. Zhang Shi tried to remove his own permissions, then used the Shadow Step to test it, but found that no matter how he tried, or who he moved to, the Shadow Step had no effect.

"It seems this is what is called restricted space movement."

After thinking about it, Zhang Shi thought of the benefits this prop would bring to him. As long as he gave absolute sovereignty to the island, no one could teleport without his permission. Anyone who wanted to go to the island would have to go by water. The safety of the island would be greatly improved, and opening it to survivors in the future would save a lot of unnecessary trouble.

After Zhao Feng's overnight shifts, the post station had taken shape from the outside, though the interior decoration remained unfinished. A team of soldiers were busily working according to the blueprints, and Zhang Shi joined in to help. Thanks to the advanced technology of the Wild World, the sea post station was completely completed by noon. To celebrate, Zhang Shi hosted a barbecue party at the post station to reward all those who had worked on its construction. Meanwhile, Mao Tai, accompanied by several soldiers, approached Zhang Shi, carrying three beer barrels, his expression both excited and delighted.

"My Lord, this is the third-grade wine I brewed yesterday. I've tested it and it's ready for drinking. Please take a look."

Zhang Shi smiled and patted Mao Tai's shoulder, then calmly performed an appraisal on the three barrels of wine. The results showed that there was nothing wrong with the wine. Zhang Shi was relieved and pulled Mao Tai into the post station.

With the addition of fine wine, the atmosphere at the post station became even more lively. Zhang Shi gave everyone present a day off, allowing everyone to drink freely. Even the nobleman Ge Dalong raised a glass of fruit wine and savored it carefully. Whether intentionally or not, he gave it a very high evaluation.

"Although it doesn't have any special effects, the quality of this wine is very high. It must have been made by a master brewer."

Mao Tai heard Ge Dalong's words, and the smile on his face was harder to suppress than AK's, even feeling a little elated. Zhang Shi approached him and indicated that he could select personnel for subsequent mass production. He himself was also preparing to put the sea station into operation. He immediately clicked on the chat interface and informed Wang Wu and his group of the news first, and then released the information on the regional channel and the world channel respectively.

Zhang Shi (VIP): Dear survivors, our team has built a new sea station on the island, providing a variety of food, drinks and entertainment facilities, striving to create a safe haven for survivors during their ocean voyages. We have now cooperated with the @王武客運 team, and welcome all survivors to consume. The prices are fair and attractive, and during the new opening period, each person will receive a free glass of drink.

Afterwards, Zhang Shi took a few pictures of the post station and released them. Once the news was released, it caused an uproar in the survivor circle.

"What's going on? A flood has brought me back to primitive times. How could someone actually build a bar? Comparing yourself to others is really infuriating!"

"Hey, does anyone know who Wang Wu is? Please contact him for me. I loved drinking a little wine before I traveled through time, but I haven't had a single drop of alcohol in over a month since I came here. That bastard Zhang Shi even sent me pictures of bars to tempt me. It's making me so greedy."

"I care more about practical value than enjoyment. Look at the weapons, equipment, and food that Boss Zhang Shi distributed. From what I can see, most of them are of high quality. This is even more exciting than his previous sales. Even if I have to sell everything I have, I'm going to go and buy some. When I come back, I'll put them on the market and get those golden coins. After a few more visits, I won't have to do anything and can just eat, drink, and have fun. It's so wonderful."

"The smart ones have already contacted Wang Wu to arrange for ferry tickets. Their capacity is limited, and there are only so many seats a day. You're still talking nonsense here. You'll be crying when the tickets sell out."

"Speaking of which, Boss Zhang Shi has quite a few enemies. He's acting so high-profile, isn't he afraid that others will target him and take him down all at once?"

……

Inside the Dragon and Tiger Brothers Alliance, Brother Long shared the news about Zhang Shi with a sneer on his face.

"This Zhang Shi is so arrogant that he even dares to openly start a service industry. This is a wilderness world. He really doesn't know how to spell death."

Xie Dong, who was standing by, rubbed his palms and reminded him.

"This Zhang Shi is quite powerful. According to our spies, Bell was killed by him a while ago, and his life or death is still unknown. If we want to take action, we need to plan carefully."

Brother Long nodded. "I know. I've already sent someone to buy Wang Wu's boat ticket. We're going to their base camp to investigate the situation and get their coordinates. When the time is right, we'll send a large army over to wipe them out and avenge our fallen brothers with their blood."

……

Zhang Shi was very satisfied with the reactions of the survivors in the chat channel. He thought that the news of the post station would take some time to spread, but he didn't expect everyone's enthusiasm to be so high. Before Wang Wu took any action, many survivors were already impatiently messaging him privately to ask for the price.

"It seems that the steady growth during this period has made most of the survivors fatter again."

Zhang Shi gave a sinister smile.

"The fatter the better. The fatter the better. It's easier to kill."

Zhang Shi continued to browse the information on the regional channel, trying to understand the survivors' needs from their reactions, but unexpectedly found Liu Yu's request for help.

Liu Yu: I buy all kinds of medicines, spiritual plants, medicinal materials and antidotes in large quantities at high prices. If you are interested, please chat privately.

Zhang Shi was quite curious about Liu Yu's behavior, so he opened a private chat to inquire about the situation.

Zhang Shi: Liu Yu, what’s the situation on your side? Have a large number of soldiers been poisoned?

Liu Yu must have been guarding the system panel all the time and replied immediately.

Liu Yu: "Brother Zhang Shi, to be honest, our alliance just fought a great battle. Although we ultimately emerged victorious, nearly all of the participants were infected with a special fire poison. This poison can remain dormant and intensify within the body until it encounters the poisoner again. Once detonated, the result is certain death."

Zhang Shi frowned, feeling somewhat contemptuous of the method of poisoning.

Zhang Shi: You should have found a solution. Tell me what specific materials you need and I’ll see if I can help you.
