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

[Interstellar Meteorite: Abundant in the primordial star sea, unlocked after reaching level four in the safe house. It possesses enhanced defensive capabilities and upgrades as the safe house level increases. It comes with its own array, and at the current level, it allows the safe house to equip one offensive weapon.]

A plus sign appeared in Jin Xiaoman's eyes, and she clicked on it.

[Weapons currently available for the safe house: None.]

Jin Xiaoman currently possesses quite a few weapons, including a hidden blade, a sniper rifle, a rocket launcher, a crossbow, a long spear, and a dagger, but none of these have been displayed.

"It seems that the weapons used by players are not compatible with the weapons that can be equipped in safe houses."

Jin Xiaoman felt quite regretful. She really wanted to equip the safe house with a weapon so that once a mutated beast entered the safe house's attack range, it would be attacked. Maybe one morning when she woke up, she could find a ready-made mutated beast corpse.

[Current level of your safe house: Level 4. Next level: Level 5. (From this moment on, your safe house can truly be called a safe house. Please strive to upgrade and unlock more features.)]

Upgrade materials: 500 Hearts of Purification, 10000 Game Currency.

[Ding! Player's "Full of Money" safe house has been upgraded to level four. Player's safe house location selection privileges have been granted.]

At the same time, a brand new interface has been added to the personal panel.

This is a simple map that only records Jin Xiaoman's approximate footprints on the deserted island; the untouched areas are filled with gray mist.

On the map, the location of the safe house is marked by a green dot surrounded by soft circles of light.

"Site selection permissions?"

Does this mean the safe house can be moved to a new location?

Jin Xiaoman tried clicking on it with her finger, but no matter whether it was an area she had explored or a place shrouded in fog, the interface only displayed a single sentence.

Please select the correct safe house landing location.

There were no other prompts.

Jin Xiaoman understood. The new safe house wasn't a place where just any spot would be; she just didn't know what kind of spot would be the right one.

[Ding! Congratulations to player "Full of Money" for becoming the first player in section 888 to upgrade to a level 4 safe house! A generous reward has been issued to this player. Other players are encouraged not to be discouraged, but to work hard and strive to become the first player to upgrade to a level 5 safe house.]

As the game's voice rang out, the reward for upgrading the safe house appeared before Jin Xiaoman.

Compared to previous times, the rewards this time are more generous. In addition to the fixed special treasure chest, there are 50 Purification Hearts, 1000 game coins, a blueprint about defense value, and a blind box.

[Basic Defense Value Recovery Potion: After drinking, it can quickly restore 5 defense values.]

Materials needed: 10cm Iron Wire Vine, 1 Dewdrop Grass, 10g Star-Patterned Sand, 10 Game Coins.

【Wire Vine: It grows mostly on rock walls. The vines are slender and tough like iron wire, climbing and spreading. The vines are dark bronze in color, with fine silver veins on the surface, and feel slightly cool to the touch.】

【Dewdrop Grass: Often appears in the early morning, with a small, close-to-the-ground growth habit. Its leaves are round and thick, semi-transparent jade-colored, with a pale blue sheen at the edges, and a single, glistening dewdrop always clings to the center of each leaf.】

【Star-patterned sand: This is fine river sand that has been moistened by starlight and absorbed the essence of the moon. The sand grains are dotted with tiny silvery-white specks, and the overall color is light silvery-gray. It feels slightly cool to the touch.】

This potion is far more important than a spirit-restoring potion; it can be considered a miraculous medicine that can forcibly prolong life.

Jin Xiaoman looked at the pictures of the three materials one by one.

She was most familiar with the Dew Grass, because it basically grew together with the Ice Dew Grass, and she would always pick a lot of it without realizing it. At the time, she even thought that the Dew Grass was in the way and delayed her speed of earning game coins. Now it seems that they are all treasures.

"Wiregrass?"

The more Jin Xiaoman looked at him, the more familiar he seemed, as if she had seen him somewhere before.

She dug out the pictures she had sent to the group chat before. They were pictures of vines on a cliff taken yesterday. She compared them carefully and found that they were very similar. The only difference was that the vines on the cliff were a little thicker.

She couldn't confirm it just by looking at it, so she decided to go check the cliff once the temperature dropped.

As for the star-patterned sand, Jin Xiaoman had no recollection of it at all; neither of the two water sources she had discovered so far contained sand.

But it's not a big problem.

She opened her personal panel and contacted "Old Lady's Punch of 300 Tons," just as the other side sent a message: "[100 servings of chilled mung bean soup, all chilled watermelon sold out, 200 jin of regular watermelon, plus other items, total profit 4050 game coins, 3240 game coins transferred to you.]"

Since players have some free time at noon, an extra round of sales has been added starting yesterday.

Money Galore: [Received, Sister Fist, I've added three new items. Could you please help me promote them to other players?]

Old Lady's Punch is 300 Tons: [No problem. By the way, a player with the ID "Zhan Dou Zhan Dou" contacted me today, saying she has information about the Shadow Chasing Grass you need.]

Jin Xiaoman's face lit up with joy. This was one of the essential materials for making the Shadow Chaser Shoes, and she had been searching for it for a long time without success.

Money Flowing: [You push her to me, I'll talk to her in detail.]

Dipping Bean quickly accepted Jin Xiaoman's friend request. The other end of the line was crisp and direct: "[I have 300 Shadow Chasing Grasses. At the shop's buy-one-grass-cost price of 2 game coins, I'll charge you 500 game coins, on the condition that you give me one item made from Shadow Chasing Grasses for free.]"

According to the store's prices, the Shadow Shoes could cost 200 game coins a pair, but Jin Xiaoman remembered Zhan Dou; her rankings on both lists weren't low, so she was happy to do her a favor: 【Okay, deal.】

The system determined that the transaction was complete, and Jin Xiaoman received the Shadow-Chasing Grass. After checking it and confirming that everything was correct, she turned her attention to the special treasure chest and blind box on the ground.

[Treasure Chest Opening: 3 Selected Potions, 1 Basic Defense Recovery Potion, 1 Rock Climbing Tips Manual, 1 Inflatable Boat, 2 Breads, 10 500ml Mineral Waters.]

Pandora's Box: May it bring you surprise, not horror, when you open it (Opening condition: Find Pandora's Key).

After Jin Xiaoman finished drinking all five bottles of potion, she shook the Pandora's Box twice, but there was no sound from inside. Since she couldn't open it either way, she simply threw the blind box into the storage box.

After resolving the safe house upgrade issue, Jin Xiaoman opened her personal panel to check for notifications regarding the auction.

[Congratulations to the player who has successfully acquired 10 game coins, fulfilling the necessary condition for unlocking the auction ticket. You can choose to participate in the auction at any time within the next week. If you do not choose a time within this week, it will be considered as a voluntary waiver of your right to participate in the auction.]

Jin Xiaoman hesitated.

The auction was something she had been looking forward to for a long time, and she couldn't wait to participate. However, this was a crucial moment in her plan, and she didn't know how long the auction would last or whether the time flow on both sides was the same.

She was torn...
