Post-apocalyptic game: I survive at sea by scavenging for trash.

Lin Zhaoyin swung her Wind and Thunder Sword and slashed repeatedly, killing an Ice Giant in about two or three hits.

Zhou Shiyun, inside the protective shield, tried her best to kill one enemy at a time before taking down the next.

The Frost Giant was large and easy to aim at, and Zhou Shiyun hit the target every time.

The 10th floor, which I thought might be full of danger, was actually finished in less than 10 minutes.

[Congratulations to the player team for clearing the tenth floor! Each player receives the following rewards: 1000 experience points, 10 Snow Crystals, 10 Fish Meat, and 1 Bronze Treasure Chest]

As expected, there was an extra reward! Although it was just a bronze treasure chest, it was worth the gamble.

Lin Zhaoyin was happiest when she obtained some more snow crystals. Although the quantity was still not enough, little by little, she would eventually be able to gather enough to upgrade the Ice Soul Needle to 500 crystals.

Although she was in a familiar setting, Lin Zhaoyin didn't get greedy. She agreed to fight until the tenth floor and then stopped.

After all, the monsters that appear in the Icefield are not necessarily the ones that players have encountered before, and even if they have encountered them before, they can't defeat 20 level 11 Ice Crack Birds right now.

Taking home the rewards you've already earned is a very wise choice.

When Lin Zhaoyin chose to withdraw from the trial, the two people and the beast were ejected from the pyramid and appeared at the entrance they had just come from.

Lin Zhaoyin still had two teleportation stones, and she decided to use one on this island.

Although you don't get many supplies from climbing the tower, it's definitely a great place to grind experience and level up.

Just by clearing ten levels in this secret realm, the two of them each gained 5500 experience points. In addition, they had killed a lot of sand snakes on the way here. Lin Zhaoyin was now only 600 points away from reaching level 11.

Zhou Shiyun had previously leveled up slowly due to low combat contributions, but the experience points she gained in the secret realm this time quickly made up for it.

It was getting late, and it would take them another hour to walk back. Lin Zhaoyin set up a teleportation array outside the pyramid and hurried back.

If they encounter sand snakes on the road, the two will still take action again, as the more experience and supplies they gain, the better.

Before nightfall, the two people and the beast returned to the player's island.

Lin Zhaoyin didn't forget that they hadn't caught any treasure chests yet, so the two of them divided the work: Zhou Shiyun would go make dinner, while Lin Zhaoyin would watch over the two fishing rods and use up all the fishing attempts before it got completely dark.

Zhou Shiyun harvested quite a bit of snake meat today, and she plans to try making salt and pepper snake meat.

By the time Zhou Shiyun finished cooking, Lin Zhaoyin had also finished work.

However, the two completely forgot one thing: Lin Zhaoyin's unlucky nature sometimes prevents her from catching treasure chests. Today, with six chances, she only caught four treasure chests, and the remaining two only yielded a broken slipper and a tattered oar.

"I think I should cook next time, and you can go fish for treasure chests?" Lin Zhaoyin was quite ashamed when she returned with four treasure chests and two pieces of trash.

"I was just trying to make things easier for you... I really didn't expect this." Zhou Shiyun didn't blame Lin Zhaoyin for her bad luck; instead, she responded with a silly smile.

This trip undoubtedly took a toll on Lin Zhaoyin's physical strength, so she didn't want Lin Zhaoyin to do chores again upon their return. She should have done both chores herself! It was truly wrong of her!

While fishing for treasure chests, Lin Zhaoyin had already told her sister about the rest of her day and also replied to a few private messages from other players.

Hearing about this secret realm trial, Lin Wanyi was also very interested. However, she felt that it would be very dangerous for her to deal with 20 monsters alone, even if she was low-level.

Lin Zhaoyin comforted her younger sister: "I left a teleportation stone there, so we won't be going back a second time anytime soon. We should reunite when we're higher up, and then I'll take you there with me!"

Okay! I'll go with my sister!

Lin Wanyi also looks forward to the day when she can reunite with her sister.

The salt and pepper snake meat dinner was quite exciting for everyone. None of the three of them had ever eaten snake meat before, and they were still a little afraid of this creature.

However, after entering the game world, having killed countless bizarre monsters, a snake was no longer a threat.

Lin Zhaoyin even vividly described to Lin Wanyi the process of fighting the snake. If this were in the real world in the past, seeing a snake would definitely be something you would run away from in time.

However, considering that Lin Zhaoyin and Zhou Shiyun were not in good physical condition, they did not say anything more after dinner, put their things at the shelter, and went back to the main island to rest.

As for the other players, no matter how important their situation is, we'll have to talk about it tomorrow.

I had just fallen asleep when the night raid started again.

Lin Zhaoyin's morning grumpiness exploded, and she vented all her resentment about not sleeping well on these monsters.

After the night raid ended, Lin Zhaoyin also leveled up to level 11, but she didn't bother to look at her attribute panel. She went back to sleep after the raid was over.

Although I kept replenishing my stamina throughout the day's battles, the body's natural fatigue cannot be replenished by eating.

Lin Zhaoyin and Zhou Shiyun started sleeping at 7 p.m. and slept until 8 a.m. Including the time spent fighting monsters during the night raid, the two of them slept for a full 12 hours.

Feeling refreshed after a good night's sleep, Lin Zhaoyin finally had time to sort through yesterday's spoils.

The main rewards on Sand Snake Island are from the sand snakes themselves, including a large amount of snake meat and over 60 venomous fangs. Lin Zhaoyin plans to check the trading area when she has some free time to see if any players have posted any trades related to venomous fangs.

In the Pyramid Trial, there are two materials that you need to check in the trading area together: one is the vine dropped by the Deadwood Vine, and the other is the volcanic mud dropped by the Swamp Monster.

When Lin Zhaoyin saw the volcanic mud, she wondered for a moment if it was some kind of beauty product.

But this is in a game, so it doesn't seem like beauty treatments are necessary, right?

Logically speaking, all three of them are very likely weapon materials.

When players open treasure chests, there's a chance they'll get blueprints that require materials they can't find right now. In these cases, someone will post a trade request for the materials. You might even find a match with another player on that platform.

Besides these, the most useful item we got yesterday was the Mystic Wind Stone; Lin Zhaoyin and Zhou Shiyun obtained a total of 140.

Zhou Shiyun and Lin Wanyi both have a C-grade Windwalker Bow, which requires 20 Mystic Wind Stones to upgrade. Lin Zhaoyin plans to upgrade both of them.

This was also the first time Lin Zhaoyin had used this special crafting skill after acquiring it.

Upgrading weapons does not require a crafting table. Simply touch the weapon and click the upgrade button on the weapon information. Once the materials are detected, the upgrade will begin automatically.

Upgrading a C-grade weapon takes 2 hours, but upgrading two Windbows can be done simultaneously.

While upgrading weapons, Lin Zhaoyin continued to organize supplies.

Yesterday, she received 20 liters of water, which was more than enough for her own needs. So she simply listed it on the trading platform at a low price and sold it for 200 gold coins per liter.

Finally, all that's left is the reward for clearing the tenth floor: two bronze treasure chests.
