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

The squirrel quickly fell asleep, and Jin Xiaoman wrapped it in a blanket and put it on the bed.

The rain outside was pouring down, and showed no signs of letting up.

"We can't go out today."

Jin Xiaoman decided to take a break and use the time to review her gains over the past few days.

Upgrading to a Level 3 safe house requires thirty Purification Hearts.

Jin Xiaoman opened her backpack and discovered that she already had twenty-nine coins.

She immediately asked in the small group: "Does anyone have an extra Purification Heart? One is enough."

The bull puffed out its chest and charged forward: [Raising an eyebrow and winking.]

Loves wearing princess dresses: 【You're disgusting!】

The bighorn bull puffed out its chest and charged forward: [Children shouldn't interrupt adults. Boss, boss, look at me!]

Loves wearing princess dresses: [Ugly people often act strangely.]

Jin Xiaoman suddenly remembered that on the night the newbie protection period ended, she had signed an agreement with Big Horn Bull. If he returned a Purification Heart to her, she would return 400 game coins to him.

The user "Money Galore" tagged "Big Horned Bull" and said, "[I'll refund you the 400 game coins first.]"

The bull puffed out its chest and charged forward: "Waaah, my money! I've finally redeemed you!"

Player Big Horn Bull puffs out his chest and charges forward, gifting Player Full of Money a Purifying Heart*1.

Loves wearing princess dresses: [I'm about to throw up, you owe me mental energy.]

[Ding! Player has enough money to upgrade to the safe house. Upgrade now?]

【whether】

Yes.

The safe house in front of us was enveloped in soft light.

A minute later, the safe house revealed its new look.

Upgrade successful. Safe house current level: 3. Next level: 4. (A player who doesn't want to live in a good house isn't a good player.)

Upgrade materials: 100 Hearts of Purification, 3000 Game Currency.

Jin Xiaoman walked around the safe house.

Not only has the area of ​​the safe house doubled again, but it also has an additional bathroom with a separate wet and dry area. The bathtub that was previously placed there has now been moved inside and placed next to the toilet.

A white protective shield, resembling an eggshell, was added around the safe house, with a radius of two meters in front and behind.

At this moment, a red countdown of 1 hour floats above it.

[Ding! The reward has been sent to your inventory. Please check it.]

The rewards this time still include that special treasure chest, but this time they include 10 Purification Hearts, 300 game coins, and a blueprint for the basic Shadow Shoes.

[Basic Shadow Shoes: Increases Agility by 1 point when worn.]

Required materials: 1 Shadowweed, 1 Nightshade Mushroom, 10 Game Coins.

[Shadow Chaser: It mostly grows in shady areas of dense forests. The plant is slender and tough, with long, knife-like leaves. It is dark green all over with a faint silvery-gray sheen.]

[Night-walking mushroom: Appears only at dusk or night. It has a small, round cap, is entirely black, and contains a transparent sap between the gills, giving it a faint, eerie glow in the dark.]

"There are actually shoes that directly increase attributes."

Jin Xiaoman looked delighted, but her brows furrowed slightly as her gaze swept over the introduction of Night-Walking Mushroom.

"Is dusk after four o'clock?"

If so, then that would be troublesome.

As expected, by then, players will only have 20 points of sanity left, and will frequently experience dizziness and blurred vision, severely limiting their mobility.

Moreover, even if the mental strength issue is resolved, time will be a major challenge.

Jin Xiaoman sighed.

[Ding! Congratulations to player "Full of Money" for becoming the first player in section 888 to upgrade to a level 3 safe house! A generous reward has been issued to this player. However, other players should not be discouraged; keep up the good work and strive to become the first player to upgrade to a level 4 safe house.]

The players who were originally staying in the safe house because of the torrential rain suddenly had something to talk about again.

[Wow, who is this guy with tons of money? My safe house isn't even level two yet, and he's already at level three.]

[I'm not kidding, bro, you haven't even reached level two yet. Can you handle this rain today?]

[Hey bro, you're loaded with money, wanna take a little brother? Look at me!]

[If you ask me, there's a bit of metaphysics involved in naming a child. Look, "Full of Money" (钱满满) would put them right at the top of the wealth rankings.]

【Well, I see your name is War Wolf, but I haven't seen you ranked number one on the combat power list!】

Hey, I've noticed you're really serious about things...

In the small group chat, several people were congratulating Jin Xiaoman.

Jin Xiaoman happily gave everyone half a pound of watermelon: 【Happy together! Happy together!】

In a corner unnoticed by anyone, I, who would rather betray the world than accept defeat, once again lost my first chance to successfully upgrade the safe house.

…………

Jin Xiaoman continued to plan her supplies.

She took out the herbs she had collected that morning, because she had been in a hurry and all sorts of things were piled up together.

However, it wasn't difficult to tidy up; it only took about half an hour.

"There are quite a lot."

Including the three plants that were initially dug up from outside, Jin Xiaoman counted them and there were a total of 210 plants.

Due to the limited number of mature Nanshanzi seeds, only forty bottles of basic mental energy recovery potion were made in the end.

The potion was pink, and when shaken, it contained specks of silver. At first glance, it looked a lot like the perfume she used to wear.

She sent four bottles to the group chat.

The Great Horned Bull puffed out its chest and charged forward: "I've never seen anything like this in a game before!"

Item No. 2775: [How much does it cost?]

Money plentiful: [Not accepted.]

The bighorn bull puffed out its chest and charged forward: "To be honest, I've always been thick-skinned, but I really can't take it anymore. What you've given me is far too valuable."

With money galore, the bull puffed out its chest and charged forward: "Then call me Her Majesty the Queen."

Money Galore: [I need you to help me find these few items. No need to search specifically; just keep an eye out for them while exploring the deserted island each day. I'll buy them at double the shop price.]

Jin Xiaoman sent the materials needed to upgrade the basic mental value recovery potion, the Shadow Chasing Shoes, and the Long Tassel Spear to the group.

Loves wearing princess dresses: [Manman, all the plants you requested are so beautiful.]

The bull puffed out its chest and charged forward: "Is this all you see? These plants clearly have something more valuable than just beauty."

Loves wearing princess dresses: 【Would you die if you didn't say something?】

Seeing that the two were about to start arguing again, ID 2775 immediately muted them.

The old lady, who could deliver a punch that could take 300 tons, neither received any medicine or watermelon, nor did she come out to say anything.

Jin Xiaoman found it strange and sent two private messages. It took a long time for the other side to reply: "I'm still outside. I'll contact you when I get back."

Jin Xiaoman sent a thumbs-up.

In this kind of weather, being outside means you're very close to God.

"There are still 1706 green raincoats left, so let's make 1700 pieces."

The rest are kept to attract ghouls.

The elk was already quite cooked from being roasted over an electric shock, but Jin Xiaoman still took it to a shop for further processing, ultimately obtaining 700 jin of venison.

Jin Xiaoman gave two items to her mother: [Cooked venison; the shop offers a few for 7 game coins per pound, but we'll sell them for 15 game coins per pound.]

There are still over 300 jin of pork left, enough to last for another two or three days.

There are still over 200 jin of watermelons left, but it's been raining these past few days, so sales haven't been good.

As for other items like milk and biscuits, Jin Xiaoman didn't really keep track. There was enough for her, and anything that couldn't fit in the storage cabinet was just left outside.

What troubles her most are probably the steamed buns and bread. These can be found in almost every treasure chest, and now there are hundreds of each of them, which is more than she can eat by herself.

Suddenly, she had an idea...
