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

Jin Xiaoman was initially worried, fearing that the giant rock tortoise would break through the protective shield of the safe house, and she wouldn't be able to quickly clean up so many rats.

Despite the seemingly ferocious impacts from the Giant Rock Turtle, a string of text slowly appeared above the safe house: Safe house current durability, 99%.

In a flash, Jin Xiaoman suddenly understood what the game's consciousness meant by "surprise".

She opened the public chat channel and, sure enough, saw something that proved her guess.

[Help! Help! My safe house is about to be smashed open by that monster! Someone please save me!]

[Bro, are you still in a level 1 safe house? You'll be fine once you upgrade to level 2.]

I'm still missing a piece of the Heart of Purification. Can someone give me one?

[Ahhh, they're in! Help! Help!]

Everyone understood that the game was eliminating players who hadn't yet upgraded to level two safe houses.

Having figured this out, Jin Xiaoman discussed it with the people in the small group.

The five of them worked together to provide thirty Hearts of Purification and 10000 game coins to players who were just a little short of leveling up.

Both parties sign an agreement through the game, agreeing to return the goods within a specified time; otherwise, all items in their inventory will be deducted until the debt is cleared.

Jin Xiaoman doesn't know how many people she can help, but this makes her feel a little better.

Having dealt with that, she turned her attention back to the rats outside the protective shield.

"Since you can't get in, then I'm invincible."

Jin Xiaoman gripped the long spear tightly, keeping within the safe house's protective perimeter. With one hand turning the pages of a book and the other holding the spear, she practiced and upgraded her spearmanship.

In half an hour, Jin Xiaoman went through the entire marksmanship exercise.

The two giant rock turtles outside were still dutifully ramming the safe house.

Jin Xiaoman got tired of killing, so she brought out a small stool from the house and sat near the protective shield, firing a shot whenever she had a spare moment.

The rats realized that the safe house in front of them was impenetrable, and their initial ferocity disappeared. They scratched at the protective shield a couple of times, seemingly to appease the rats.

At one o'clock in the morning, a low, muffled roar echoed from the depths of the forest.

As if receiving some kind of instruction, the rats began to retreat in an orderly manner. After all the rats had left, the two giant rock turtles also left.

The corpses of the rats killed by Jin Xiaoman disappeared, leaving behind treasure chests scattered everywhere.

This time I've really struck it rich.

In the small group chat, the girl who loves wearing princess dresses, still shaken, cried sincerely: "I was so scared! I thought I'd never see you all again."

The Great Horned Bull puffed out its chest and charged forward: "I say, Princess, you should exercise a bit. Always cooped up in the safe house calculating things isn't good for your health."

Loves wearing princess dresses: 【I understand, how do I train?】

Player ID 2775 recommended the book "Thirty-Day Crash Course" to Player Love Wearing Princess Dresses.

I love wearing princess dresses, so I opened it out of curiosity. After taking one look, I wished I could take back what I said in the group chat.

She has to get up at seven in the morning, run and practice boxing, and buy some equipment to help her. It looks so tiring that she doesn't want to train.

Money Flowing: [Sweetie, let's train together. You can follow my schedule.]

She loves wearing princess dresses and is very shrewd in her mind. Although she is at the top of the wealth list, it is mostly because she sells radiation-free food. It is likely that her physical training intensity is the weakest.

Loves wearing princess dresses: [I followed Manman's lead.]

Money Plenty: [Okay, I'll wake you up tomorrow morning.]

Jin Xiaoman has been practicing the long spear diligently lately, but time is passing too quickly, so she has to keep moving her wake-up time forward, finally settling on six o'clock in the morning.

Hearing this news was like a bolt from the blue for someone who loves wearing princess dresses.

Number 2775: [Follow me, I'll start at 5 AM; follow the book, it only requires 7 AM. You choose. I will check your training results after a week.]

Loves wearing princess dresses: [I suddenly remembered, I'm actually not scared at all tonight, I'm not practicing.]

Money Galore & ID 2775: [No way!]

She loves wearing princess dresses and cries with a pout. It's utterly incomprehensible that the daughter of a billionaire CEO has to suffer like this.

However, she knew that the two were doing it for her own good, and after some tearful deliberation, she made her choice among the three: "I'll go with Manman; at least I'll have someone with me."

Big Horn Bull puffed out his chest and charged forward: "To be fair, there's a reason for your success. I thought everyone got up at eight o'clock sharp to explore the desert island. Okay, I'll join you too, five o'clock, bro, I'll stick with you."

"My punch weighs 300 tons": [Well, I'll join you too, Manman, Princess, let's train together as a trio.]

Having received a satisfactory answer, Jin Xiaoman and number 2775 fell into a deep sleep.

.............

The first day of the dry season.

The sky was clear and vast, with blue expanses stretching in all directions. The entire deserted island shed its days of damp cold and became dry and gentle. The long-awaited sunlight pierced through the clouds and shone on the earth, and even the birdsong in the forest became clear and melodious.

After breakfast, at eight o'clock sharp, Jin Xiaoman rushed out of the safe house.

According to last night's introduction, the Ice Dew Grass appears for a limited time, so she must make the most of every second.

As before, not long after entering the forest, she saw large patches of Ice Dew Grass.

Jin Xiaoman swiftly pulled a pickaxe from her backpack and began digging at the ice dew grass.

"Don't rush, we'll dig you out after we've finished digging yours."

All sorts of relatives, from uncles and aunts, have to come in, because the whole family should be together.

As the game developers stated, the drop rate for treasure chests has indeed increased significantly.

In the two hours she spent collecting ice dew grass, she dug out two from the ground.

The squirrel briefly peeked out from the tree, and Jin Xiaoman could tell from its bulging little pouch that it was probably full and would have to go back to the safe house to unload.

The man and the mouse gave each other a thumbs-up and then went about their own business.

At ten o'clock sharp, the ice dew grass that was just everywhere withered and disappeared instantly.

Jin Xiaoman clapped her hands, indicating that she was used to it.

"Alright, let's go collect the spoils."

She turned and went back to the door of the safe house to collect the treasure chest left behind when she killed the rats last night.

It was dark then, and she didn't see clearly, but now she realizes that besides the treasure chest, there are also many Hearts of Purification on the ground.

[Treasure Chest Opening: Blind Box Potion*1, Purification Heart*7, Game Coins*15, Rocket Launcher*10, Fragmentation Mine*5, Hand Grenade*5, Storage Box*1, Teleportation Card*1, Invisibility Talisman*1, Ice Sleeve*1, Spicy Rice Cake*1, Oden*1, Lemonade*5, Soda Cracker*1, Oreo Box*1, Golden French Fries*5, Takoyaki*10, Bread*20, Steamed Bun*37, 500ml Mineral Water*80.]

She originally had 84 Hearts of Purification, took out 10 last night, and received 16 today, bringing her total to 90.

If you calculate it that way, it seems like she'll be able to upgrade the safe house again soon.
