The first day of July was peaceful, aside from the unbearable heat. Nothing else seemed out of the ordinary. At least, the daytime was.
Demand for ice blocks and Pure Water on the trading market had skyrocketed.
Ethan Yardley's automated workshop had been producing ice blocks nonstop. He'd temporarily halted all other production; he just couldn't keep up with the demand for ice.
Thanks to the ice, he'd earned a good amount of wood and other basic materials in return. He helped all his team members upgrade their rafts to Level 6, and his own raft had even reached Level 7.
He knew that a Level 8 raft came with a functional specialization, so he decided to focus on raising his raft level first and worry about everything else later.
After all, his Mercenary Company's level was directly tied to his raft level.
Since he hadn't merged with anyone's raft, his teammates had all remained independent as well.
