Jin Xiaoman woke up 20 minutes early today.

Before the squirrel arrived, she had plenty of supplies, but she had never made breakfast.

First, she needs time to train; second, she's lazy and just wants to eat a couple of bites of bread and drink some water.

Today, she felt that things couldn't go on like this.

If someone is lured into a safe house by you, you should treat them well; otherwise, it's disrespectful.

Considering the continuous rain in the next few days, Jin Xiaoman plans to make ginger and mushroom porridge to dispel the cold and dampness.

She took out the rice from the treasure chest last night, washed it clean, and then picked out some radiation-free mushrooms and ginger from the storage box. She rinsed off the dirt and debris, removed the tough, old parts from the roots, and diced them.

After thinking for a moment, she took out a small piece of wild boar meat, diced it, and added it to the small pot of game coins to simmer for forty minutes.

Turning her head to confirm that the squirrel was still fast asleep, she tiptoed to close the door of the safe house and, under the eaves by the light of the luminous pearl, began to study the basic spear techniques for the long-tasseled spear.

The spear technique was first taught in written form, mainly introducing the long-tasseled spear and its usage rules.

The following are vivid pictures of poses.

Jin Xiaoman imitated the characters in the story, handling the long spear and making the movements flow smoothly.

However, the posture was still a bit awkward and unfamiliar.

After going through the movements twice according to the book, an hour had passed.

She wiped the sweat from her face with a towel and quietly pushed the door open to peek inside.

The squirrel had woken up sometime earlier and was sitting there very elegantly.

Jin Xiaoman smiled and said, "Good morning, Master Rat."

The squirrel shook its tail as a form of response.

Jin Xiaoman: "Grandpa Rat, I made mushroom porridge. I wonder if you'll like it?"

Jin Xiaoman quickly prepared the food and placed it in front of the squirrel, providing it with a relatively thick straw.

The squirrel met Jin Xiaoman's expectant gaze and, too embarrassed to refuse, silently noted down the number of treasure chests in its notebook, planning to return them tonight.

After the two of them had breakfast, Jin Xiaoman tidied up and prepared to go out.

It's still drizzling today. The sky is overcast and the clouds are very low, as if they're hanging an inch above people's heads.

The forest not far away was shrouded in a layer of white mist, making it indistinct.

Jin Xiaoman put on her raincoat, attached a hook to the door, and stepped into the rain.

The fine, cold rain instantly soaked my raincoat, and the ground beneath my feet became muddy and slippery from a day of rain.

The water tanks left outside were full of rainwater overnight, so Jin Xiaoman collected them into her space and started to store them again.

Within two minutes of entering the forest, Jin Xiaoman saw a large patch of green grass.

However, she didn't rush to pick them, but instead took out the tracking charm she had opened from the treasure chest last night.

Two more materials are needed to make the basic spirit restoration potion: Nanshanzi and Xuanshi.

Considering the coverage of the tracking card and Nanshanzi's preference for sunshine, she ultimately chose the Xuan Stone.

As ten points of mental energy were deducted, the tracking talisman automatically hovered in the air after the name was entered, emitting a golden light in the rain, spreading outwards at a frequency that Jin Xiaoman could not see, creating ripples.

After a brief search, it guided Jin Xiaoman to the vicinity of that familiar cliff.

The tracking symbol continued to rise, eventually stopping at a height of more than four meters above the ground.

The meaning is obvious: the mysterious stone is right there.

The difficulties are also obvious. It's raining now, and without equipment, it's difficult for her to climb without equipment.

If you're not careful, you could fall from here and the consequences would be unpredictable.

Jin Xiaoman rummaged through her backpack and finally took out a lightning strike talisman.

After reading the description of the lightning strike talisman, she threw the talisman at the cliff.

A sudden, sharp clap of thunder exploded in the air, and a thin, bright bolt of lightning shot out from the talisman and struck the rock.

The hard rock was instantly shattered, sending fragments flying everywhere.

Jin Xiaoman turned her back and ran forward, with plumes of smoke and dust rising behind her, and the air filled with the smell of burning.

After a while, Jin Xiaoman peered over to confirm that no more rocks were falling before she felt relieved and walked over.

Among the rocks scattered everywhere, there were one or two stones that shimmered with green patterns. Jin Xiaoman picked one up.

The watch made no sound this time, so it couldn't detect anything.

However, the information can be verified when placed in a store.

[Mystic Stone: One of the necessary materials for crafting basic Spirit Restoration Potions; its trade value is 30 game coins.]

Although the ground was mostly covered with pebbles and less with mysterious stones, the lightning strike had turned the ground into a landscape of stones.

She kept rummaging through the pile of stones and eventually found a total of 57 black stones.

Now all that's missing is Nanshanzi, which she can then make into a basic mental energy recovery potion, so she won't have to be on the return journey at the exact time anymore.

Jin Xiaoman rubbed her aching lower back, her eyes brimming with undisguised joy.

The watch showed that it was a little after 10 a.m., and after deducting the 20 spirit points consumed by the talisman, there were still more than 50 spirit points left.

It sounds alright, but it's no longer suitable to explore it further.

She decided to return to the spot where she had found the mushrooms the day before.

As she expected, apart from some newly sprouted mushrooms, the rest were already at level 5 radiation.

She picked only the fruits with level one and level two radiation.

My gaze paused for a moment as it swept over a plant with slender green leaves; it seemed somewhat familiar.

Jin Xiaoman was a little unsure. She used a pickaxe to dig a block-shaped object out of the soil.

Wiping away the sticky dirt, a faint spicy aroma wafted out. Jin Xiaoman leaned closer to smell it; it was ginger.

In this weather, quite a few players will definitely get caught in the rain.

She still had the brown sugar she had opened earlier in her storage box. If she made it into brown sugar ginger tea and gave it to her mother, it would definitely sell like hotcakes.

With that in mind, Jin Xiaoman abandoned the mushrooms she already had and turned her attention to the ginger.

Unfortunately, these plants grew too densely and were almost intertwined.

After filtering for a while, she became a little frustrated; the efficiency was just too low.

She simply stopped distinguishing between radiation levels and types, and just randomly dug everything up, then packed it all into her spatial storage, planning to choose slowly once she returned to the safe house.

Soon, the land was completely barren, as Jin Xiaoman had turned it upside down.

She couldn't stop smiling; she never imagined that she could be so happy working.

She raised her pickaxe, smiled, and swatted away the flying squirrel that had charged from afar. Then she placed her hand on her brow, watching it trace a graceful parabola before finally crashing into the muddy water with a 'pia'.

She then turned and looked at a hyena, about the height of a person, that darted out of the brambles beside her.

The hyena lowered its limbs, its entire body pressed against the ground, and its ears turned back.

Jin Xiaoman took out his long spear and assumed a fighting stance: "Better late than never. Let me show you the results of my training this morning."

Jin Xiaoman was prepared for a tough battle, but she didn't expect the hyena to be so weak.

She blocked the hyena's attack with her spear, then took it down with three hidden darts.

The hyena fell to the ground clearly with resentment; it felt that Jin Xiaoman had cheated, as the spear in her hand had not hurt it at all.

Jin Xiaoman gave an apologetic smile. She was sorry, as she had only practiced the long spear once and couldn't recall the moves at all, so she had to resort to the hidden arrows.

The hyena lying on the ground soon stopped breathing.

Jin Xiaoman picked up the flying squirrel from a distance, tied it together with the hyena, and threw it into her spatial storage.

Selling these purified products to stores would also generate income.

After tidying up the two, she looked around to make sure it was safe, and then happily walked towards the clump of green grass not far away.
