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

After careful consideration, Jin Xiaoman decided to postpone her participation in the auction until she was less busy these next few days.

The group chat was lively, ranging from guessing who was behind it all to the story of how, back when they were still on Earth, I could punch a 300-ton weight and fly into a rage for my lover.

Time ticked by, and the temperature on the deserted island finally dropped below 50°C at 2 p.m., and the group chat fell silent in an instant.

Jin Xiaoman immediately closed her personal panel, put on her sun-protective clothing, and hurriedly set off.

During the dry season, the time available to move around on the deserted island is far more limited than during the rainy season, and Jin Xiaoman was practically running.

Soon, the cliff came into view, but what first caught her attention were the 'big mounds' on the cliff.

Compared to the previous day, there were significantly more "large bags" and they were much larger, making it hard to say there wasn't something fishy going on.

It's a pity that Jin Xiaoman doesn't have the right tools right now, so she'll have to wait and see if she can do any more research.

She casually picked up a section of vine that she had previously cut off with a chainsaw, put it into her spatial storage, and waited for it to be purified to a level two level of radiation before sending it to a store to identify its species.

Because of the accident this morning, Jin Xiaoman's mental energy is now incredibly abundant. In the past, she would carefully calculate the cost of using even a single prop, but today, she's going to be extravagant.

She carefully checked the supplies currently in her backpack.

Currently, we lack materials for basic spirit recovery potions (mystic stones), materials for shadow-chasing shoes (night-walking mushrooms), materials for basic defense recovery potions (star-patterned sand), and materials for upgrading long spears (deep-sea cold iron and bone-tempering grass).

With a wave of her hand, she decided to try them one by one; fifty points of spirit points were more than she could manage.

She took out four tracking talismans from her backpack and entered the following information into them in turn: Mystic Stone, Star Pattern Sand, Deep Sea Cold Iron, and Bone Tempering Grass.

The tracking talisman slowly rose into the air, emitting rings of pale golden ripples.

A moment later, the tracking symbol disappeared, and it found none of the four materials.

As expected, Jin Xiaoman's hands trembled as she recorded the location on her wristwatch, marking it as: Mystic Stone, Star Pattern Sand, Deep Sea Cold Iron, and Bone Tempering Grass have been searched.

This will make it easier to find the item in a different location next time.

As for the Night-Walking Mushroom, its description clearly states that it only appears at dusk or late at night. Although no specific time range is given, it is certain that it is not now.

Jin Xiaoman decided to try at 5 p.m.

After all that trouble, she finally decided to honestly continue exploring along the cliff face.

After about half an hour's journey, Jin Xiaoman finally had her first reward of the day.

It was a large cabbage, about the size of a small water tank, and it looked pretty good overall, except that the outermost leaves were a bit wilted and yellow.

[Beep beep, Level 4 radiation detected. Consumption is not recommended.]

"It would definitely taste delicious if made into pickled vegetables."

Jin Xiaoman quickly dug it out of the ground.

Considering that there would be some waste if she handed it over to the store, and that one cabbage was really not enough, she decided to look carefully in the vicinity to see if there was a second one.

Fortunately, the cabbages were scattered and the quantity was still considerable, which helped to mend Jin Xiaoman's broken heart, which had been damaged by wasting forty points of mental energy.

Just as she was putting one of the triplets into her backpack, she suddenly heard a soft whisper: "Is that her?"

"Not sure, she doesn't have the scent of the Cleansing Spirit Grass on her."

A third voice chimed in: "It's her. I saw that clumsy squirrel standing on her shoulder."

"Wasn't she dying? Why is she so energetic now?"

"You believe what that squirrel said? It doesn't even know what's edible."

"But you just ate the soft, white stuff it gave you."

"That's called a cake."

"The cake was delicious, but it was gone in one bite."

"Is this the time to talk about how delicious the cake is?"

"So what should we be discussing?"

"Yeah, what were we originally going to discuss?"

"You two idiots."

Jin Xiaoman turned her head and saw three ground squirrels poking their little heads out, their dark eyes staring at her.

She gave what she thought was a friendly smile: "Yes, what do you want to discuss?"

"Aaaaaah!!!"

Three ground squirrels scattered and tried to escape, but two of them bumped into each other and fell to the ground with a thud.

The one that could have run away, seeing this situation, gritted its teeth and stayed, spreading its arms in front to protect itself: "What, what are you going to do?"

Jin Xiaoman leaned closer: "Aren't you curious if I can understand you, and if you can understand me too?"

Groundhog: "What's there to be curious about? It must have been Lord Mountain who helped you."

Mr. Tiger?

Jin Xiaoman pondered the name in her mind for a moment.

Jin Xiaoman: "Since you know it was Lord Shanjun who helped me, why did you run away when you saw me? What, you don't trust Lord Shanjun?"

Groundhog: "We didn't disbelieve you, it's just that you suddenly turned around and started talking, and you're such a big guy, we were scared."

Jin Xiaoman: "Okay."

She took a small cake out of her backpack: "I apologize to you, this is to make up for it."

Groundhog: "Just put the thing on the ground."

Jin Xiaoman did as she was told: "Now can you tell me why you came over to spy on me?"

After hesitating for a moment, as if weighing whether to speak, the two mole lying on the ground recovered, and one of them said, "We want to ask you if you can save the furball."

Jin Xiaoman's mind flashed back to the small white dumpling that had fainted from fright: "What happened to it?"

Mole B: "There used to be a lot, but now there aren't many left."

Groundhog C: "It doesn't play with us anymore, it's always running away."

The sane gopher A, who had remained alert, said, "It's the Brown Fleece Clan; they're bullying Furball."

The other two ground squirrels chattered amongst themselves, saying, "The Brown Velvet Hyenas are very powerful."

"It has sharp teeth."

"Awoo~"

"It has sharp claws, like this."

The groundhog lifted up a branch.

"Their tails are very thick, like this."

The groundhog lifted up another branch.

"They are fierce; they bite anyone they see."

Jin Xiaoman was getting a little dizzy from the noise, so she stopped them and pointed to the one that looked the smartest: "You speak."

Groundhog A: "We want to ask you to save Furball. We can pay you. I know you're looking for all kinds of food. As long as you tell me what you're looking for, I can find it for you anywhere on the desolate continent."

The gophers pleaded, "Please, we'll never say that squirrel is stupid again."
