Survival for all, my island is the last pure land on earth.

The fourth day of the floods.

Lead-gray clouds hung heavily over the sky, and the world was divided by a thick curtain of water.

The gale whipped up the dark clouds and rushed down, the rain pouring down, crashing against the rocks and breaking into a misty spray, then flowing down the steep slopes as a muddy torrent, carrying mud and withered branches as it surged down, merging with the floodwaters below.

The entire forest seemed to be swallowed up by the sound of rain, with only endless crashing sounds all around.

A-Ye looked at Jin Xiaoman with concern: "Sir, why don't you rest in the safe house for the next few days? It's too dangerous to go out."

Jin Xiaoman changed the water in the fish tank, added some medicine and food, and said after hearing A Ye's words, "It's okay, it's just a little scary to look at."

Although Sisyphus was injured, she could not stop practicing controlling the Moonfish. She had a feeling that she would master the technique completely in the next couple of days.

After putting on her raincoat, Jin Xiaoman kissed the squirrel and turned to step into the rain.

Perhaps the recent heavy rainfall has damaged the habitat of the moonfish. Jin Xiaoman searched for a long time in the water but could not find a place where moonfish lived in groups as before.

With no other option, she bought a fish basket, filled it with silver moonfish, and tied it around her waist to attract the silver moonfish closer.

She swam in the water for an unknown amount of time before finally collecting a thousand moonfish. She planned to find a place where the current wasn't too strong and release them little by little, following Professor Sisyphus's method.

A voice blocked her way: "How have you been lately?"

Jin Xiaoman looked up and saw Lilith standing on a tree branch, staring at her.

Perhaps it was because of the dream about dipping beans, or perhaps she was just overthinking things, but she felt uneasy seeing Lilith today: "I'm fine, what's wrong?"

"Can I watch you practice?"

"certainly."

One didn't expect their request to be granted so easily, and the other didn't expect the other person to contact them for such a small matter.

The two looked at each other, and Jin Xiaoman stopped paying attention to Lilith. After finding a suitable place, she began to release the animals.

She closed her eyes, silently calculating the time in her mind, while relying on her senses to guess the number of moonfish she controlled today, waiting to see the final result after all one thousand were released.

She looked around; one, two, three... a total of one hundred and five.

Jin Xiaoman looked up, smiling broadly: "How was it? Have I made pretty much progress?"

Lilith licked her paws boredly: "Oh, no, but you are pretty dumb, that's for sure."

Jin Xiaoman: "..."

Lilith: "This rain is so annoying, could you make a raft?"

Jin Xiaoman knew it disliked rain, so its request was strange, since being in a tree at least offered some shelter: "What's the point of all this? So you can get even more soaked?"

Lilith: "....."

Jin Xiaoman: "I'm ignoring you now, I'm going to go catch more moonfish."

Lilith: "Ten treasure chests in exchange for one hour of your raft usage."

Jin Xiaoman gestured: "One hundred treasure chests, in exchange for half an hour."

"What?" Lilith couldn't help but scream, then lowered her voice after realizing what she meant: "Don't push your luck, you're just a player. Ten treasure chests should keep you busy all day."

These words sound condescending and give the impression that the speaker looks down on players from the bottom of their heart.

Jin Xiaoman snorted: "I forgot to tell you, I just contracted a treasure-hunting rat a couple of days ago. It's quite capable, finding forty or fifty treasure chests every day ╭(╯^╰)╮."

Lilith's lips twitched: "Then congratulations."

"So you're going to rent it? Maybe the price will be different after I catch the moonfish."

"What do you mean?"

"It means a price increase."

"....."

Lilith bared her sharp canines and made a whimpering warning sound in her throat, trying to frighten Jin Xiaoman into giving in.

Jin Xiaoman turned her back and took out a water gun from her backpack.

While shouting, "I'm so scared, someone please save me," he sneezed Lilith thoroughly.

She secretly opened her eyes to confirm that the scene before her was the effect she wanted, then happily closed her eyes and continued to swim. When she realized that the other party's patience had reached its limit, she plunged into the water and disappeared.

"Jin Xiaoman, you bastard..."

Lilith's voice echoed through the forest, startling countless fish away.

From the conversation just now, Jin Xiaoman realized that there must be something wrong with "Lilith".

Putting aside why Lilith suddenly found her and wanted to supervise her practice, its speaking habits were completely different from before. Most importantly, it didn't even know that Rat Lord had been contracted by her long ago.

Jin Xiaoman dared not linger for a moment, covering her head and moving forward until she heard Lilith's voice again: "Jin Xiaoman, come find me at (124, 85, 777)."

This time the sound came from the necklace, and Jin Xiaoman hesitated for a moment before deciding to go.

However, she needed to make some preparations before going.

Because of the terrible weather these days, she had been using teleportation talismans instead of the fur ball to send messages. So she sent the coordinates to A-Ye and also sent a message to number 2775, Zhan Dou Zhan Dou and Lao Niang Yi Quan San Bai Tun, indicating that if she did not receive any new messages in half an hour, it meant that something must have happened to her.

He carried the broken waves on his back and held the prosperity of the world in his hands.

After thinking about it, I prepared a few more smoke bombs in advance.

After doing all this, Jin Xiaoman was still a little uneasy. She rummaged through her backpack for a long time, used a lucky charm on herself, and checked it three times before going to keep the appointment.

When we arrived at the agreed-upon place, there was indeed a black cat perched in the tree.

It exudes an air of elegance and nobility, sitting upright on a branch, its tail coiled forward, enveloping its forelimbs and blending into the blackness behind it.

A pair of emerald green eyes stared intently at Jin Xiaoman. When it saw someone arrive, its ears twitched slightly: "Bring out a raft."

It's a raft again.

Jin Xiaoman: "Fifty treasure chests."

Lilith looked up: "You left early this morning, so we didn't meet. You can ask A-Ye if there are a lot of treasure chests piled up outside the courtyard."

Sending messages will inevitably distract me. What if this Lilith is also fake? Wouldn't I be able to launch a sneak attack?

Moreover, she had just been chatting with A-Ye, and he hadn't mentioned this matter.

Seeing that Jin Xiaoman disagreed, Lilith didn't press the matter further: "I'll give you another fifty."

With a light tap of its tail, a transparent energy shield containing fifty treasure chests appeared before Jin Xiaoman.

Jin Xiaoman put everything into her backpack, took out a raft for Lilith, and considering that Diptych Diptych was attacked on a raft in her dream, she said, "I'm not going to go on the raft."

Lilith moved so nimbly that Jin Xiaoman barely saw her movements before she jumped onto the raft. Hearing this, she turned around and said, "Did you pay? You need to get on my raft."

Jin Xiaoman: "..."

Makes sense.

Jin Xiaoman: "What do you want from me? You can't possibly just want a raft, can you?"

"I've invited you here so I can show you a good show. You should find a tree to stay under first."

Jin Xiaoman nodded, not understanding what Lilith was up to. Just as she was about to swim away, she suddenly choked on a mouthful of water.

She panicked. Putting aside whether the flood was dirty or not, its radiation level was level five, and the price of taking a sip was fifty mental points.

She quickly checked her personal panel and found that she couldn't schedule anything, and...

What the hell is this? How did her hands turn into furry black claws? With a little force, the cat's claws emerged from her paw pads, gleaming with a metallic sheen.
