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

The squirrel slowly woke up after finishing its meal.

Jin Xiaoman patted the squirrel's head: "Have you been too tired lately? Why don't you rest for a couple of days?"

Squirrel: "I'm not very tired, I just really want to sleep."

The squirrel couldn't quite put its finger on it; it always felt like something had happened while it was asleep, but it forgot everything when it woke up.

After a moment of blankness, it took out its harvest for the day and placed it in front of Jin Xiaoman. Although it had finished work early, it still had more than a dozen harvests. Combined with Jin Xiaoman's recent harvests, the treasure chests had accumulated to fifty.

[Treasure Chest Opening: Blind Box Potion*2, Purification Heart*11, Game Coins*35, Storage Box*1, Healing Medicine*5, Hemostatic Bandage*3, Backpack Expansion Stone*1, Teleportation Card*3, Invisibility Charm*3, Lightning Strike Charm*5, Rocket*11, Incendiary Cluster Bomb*5, ... Stir-fried Green Pepper with Pork*1, Cola Chicken Wings*1, Shredded Pork with Garlic Sauce*1, Popsicle*20, Steamed Bun*43, Bread*38, 500ml Mineral Water*97.]

Ah Ye carried the food out of the kitchen. Today, she had made dishes that squirrels love to eat. However, after tasting a couple of bites of each dish, the squirrel listlessly greeted the two of them and went back to its bedroom to sleep.

Jin Xiaoman and A Ye looked at each other in bewilderment.

Jin Xiaoman: "How was it during the day today?"

Ah Ye recalled carefully: "Actually, Rat Lord hasn't been in very good condition lately. I noticed it when you received the honey."

Jin Xiaoman mentally reviewed the recent events: "Okay, I understand."

Back in her room, Jin Xiaoman stared at the squirrel for a long time before slowly falling asleep.

.......

The next morning in the public chat channel.

Angel Alliance Astrology Pavilion reminds you that today there will be a light breeze and a high temperature of 67 degrees Celsius. The temperature will be between 10:30 AM and 2:30 PM.

Also: Angel Alliance officially launched its newest summer-cooling herbal tea at noon today, priced at 1 game coin for 300ml. It will be sold by the vice leader, Old Lady, with a punch of 300 tons. Quantities are limited, first come, first served.

The Angel Alliance has expanded its acquisition of Ironwood (pictured below) to include 10 Cooling Grass (pictured below) for 2 game coins per kilogram.

After reading today's announcement from the Astrology Pavilion, Jin Xiaoman went into her bedroom, where the squirrel was still fast asleep.

It's been a full twelve hours since last night.

Jin Xiaoman stood by the bed, her expression worried: "What's wrong, Rat Master?"

In the living room, A-Ye also looked worried.

Jin Xiaoman: "Spend the day with it and see if it gets bullied by other mutated beasts."

"If not, we'll think of another way."

A-Ye nodded: "Don't worry too much, sir. I'll make some more good food for Rat. He didn't eat much yesterday, so he might be hungry when he wakes up today."

Jin Xiaoman: "Thank you."

After collecting the Ice Dew Grass, Jin Xiaoman headed straight for Zhan Dou's territory.

After several attempts to teleport her, Jin Xiaoman finally found her under a towering tree.

She appeared to be resting with her eyes closed.

Jin Xiaoman's eyes flashed with coldness as she unleashed a hidden arrow from her sleeve. At the same time, she herself shot towards Zhan Dou Zhan Dou like an arrow released from a bow.

Dipping Bean was taken aback, then swiftly deflected the hidden arrow.

"clang--"

Her broadsword clashed with Jin Xiaoman's long spear, the echoes striking their eardrums.

Jin Xiaoman twisted her wrist, and the long spear grazed the edge of the broadsword, leaving a scratch on Zhan Dou Zhan Dou's neck, from which bright red blood slowly seeped out.

Jin Xiaoman took two steps back and sent Zhan Dou a picture of a cooling herb: "You spent the whole day looking for this herb for me."

After saying that, she leaped up the tree in a few quick movements and disappeared from the spot.

Diptych was left bewildered, a sense of defeat welling up inside her. How could she have lost so quickly? No, she had to devise a plan to fight back.

When Jin Xiaoman returned to the forest, it was already 10:30.

After making her deal with the animals, she hurried to the pond, pulled out a small stool, and started fishing again.

This time, the mysterious entity did indeed reappear.

Jin Xiaoman stretched her muscles and decided to try again.

After a brief struggle, Jin Xiaoman realized that her power was pitifully insignificant in the face of that mysterious being.

In the struggle, the fishing rod could not withstand the strain and snapped with a "crack".

Jin Xiaoman didn't have time to evacuate and fell on her butt again.

She rubbed her bottom and struggled to get up.

Now that things had come to this, her eyes were much clearer. She cupped her hands in greeting, bowed, and asked in a clear voice, "May I ask your esteemed name, senior?"

A huge jet of water shot up from the surface of the water, and a massive black shadow that almost filled the entire pond slowly emerged.

Even before it emerged from the water, Jin Xiaoman felt an unprecedented pressure.

A deep, androgynous voice came from the water: "I sense Lilith's presence on you. What is your relationship with her?"

Jin Xiaoman remembered the necklace, took it out, and held it in her hands.

"Is this what you mean, senpai?"

The shadowy figure remained silent for a long time upon seeing the necklace, seemingly reminiscing about the past or perhaps mourning something.

Finally, it sighed, "I will keep my promise, but you are still too weak. Let's talk again when all three stats are above 50."

Its words were cryptic yet clear. Jin Xiaoman didn't intend to delve deeper, but instead asked, "Can I still come fishing?"

After a moment of silence, the other side said, "Okay, but don't use bait."

The implication is that if you put out delicious food, I'll be attracted to it, and then I'll come over but there's nothing to do, which is annoying.

Jin Xiaoman accurately grasped the meaning behind those words and came up with a plan: "Senior, are you hungry? What would you like to eat?"

After the shadowy figure finished speaking, he was about to make his escape when he heard this, he paused: "It's been years since I've eaten wild boar."

That's easy.

Jin Xiaoman snapped her fingers: "Senior, wait for me here."

She grabbed a vine from the tree and swung away like a monkey.

The sound of "Wuhu" echoed through the forest.

Based on the clues provided by the animals, Jin Xiaoman quickly identified a target.

A gray-black wild boar was lying under a tree, leisurely enjoying its afternoon tea, along with a gray rabbit with strong, muscular legs.

【Name: Rockbreaker Pig】

Strength: 30

Agility: 15

Defense Value: 35

Danger Level: Two Stars

Except for agility, this pig is stronger than Jin Xiaoman in every other aspect.

Jin Xiaoman got up, took out a tranquilizer from her backpack, and aimed it at the wild boar's belly: "Brother, let's see some high-tech stuff."

The anesthetic was injected, and the wild boar felt an itch in its abdomen. It kicked its hind hooves a couple of times, but finding nothing unusual, it continued to enjoy its meal.

Before long, it started to feel sleepy, and kept complaining about how strong the sun was today, making it dizzy.

Once the wild boar had completely stopped moving, Jin Xiaoman slid down the tree, intending to finish it off with her dagger, but the dagger was chipped.

"Oh my~"

Jin Xiaoman looked at the wild boar, then at the dagger, and reluctantly patted the wild boar with her hand.

The conclusion was that this guy was indeed tough and resilient.

She took out her spear and aimed it at the wild boar's throat: "My darling, I've upgraded you to level two, so do something about it."

"Zheng—"

A recoil force came, and Jin Xiaoman felt numbness from her fingertips to her elbows.

Fortunately, the spear didn't break like the dagger; it pierced the wild boar's throat.

Once the wild boar had completely stopped moving, Jin Xiaoman put it into her backpack. Then, she hunted down another wild boar in the same way and happily delivered it to the creature in the lake.

Not long after the wild boar disappeared into the lake, a pile of bones was thrown onto the shore.

Jin Xiaoman jumped around to avoid the bones' attacks.

The creature in the lake seemed quite satisfied with its meal. Before disappearing, it tossed two glittering golden objects onto the shore: "Little one, this is the money for your meal."
