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

When Lin Zhaoyin and Lin Wanyi finished their video call and saw Zhou Shiyun again, her eyes were still red.

However, Lin Zhaoyin's emotions had calmed down by this time, and she was able to rationally analyze and review yesterday's tower climbing situation.

Lin Zhaoyin felt that the two divine machines that came out of the two bronze treasure chests were a fixed configuration and unlikely to be randomly obtained.

This means that team players will receive the same rewards, whether it's the basic reward or the treasure chest reward.

As for the scene changes every three levels, Lin Zhaoyin guessed that apart from the gold coins, wood and stones in the first round, the scene changes afterward might not be fixed, otherwise there would be no swamp or new monster species.

Getting random encounters with new scenes and monster types isn't a bad thing. Besides having more opportunities to obtain the attribute stones you need, the new monster types can also unlock many other types of dropped items.

Lin Zhaoyin searched the trading area but didn't see any players posting information about their new materials.

Not wanting to let these materials rot in her hands, Lin Zhaoyin decided to go to the chat channel and tell everyone about her encounter with the secret realm and her need for blueprints.

Everyone was initially envious when Lin Zhaoyin said she had encountered a secret realm, but when they heard that there were 20 monsters on each level of the secret realm and that the dropped items were just ordinary, they immediately lost interest.

[The pros go there to level up, but for us regular players, it's a death sentence.]

Even if there are only 20 monsters, all level 1 or 2, it will still be difficult for me to fight them.

[The key point is that it was encountered on a level 3 island. Even if I actually encountered a level 3 island, I wouldn't dare to go there; it's too dangerous!]

Only a handful of high-powered players in the chat channel were interested in this, but the probability of encountering a level 3 island was extremely low; only Lin Zhaoyin managed to encounter one twice.

Many players still believe that Lin Zhaoyin was lucky to encounter a high-level island, but only Lin Zhaoyin herself knows the hardships she endured.

Everyone should act according to their own capabilities. I'm sharing this so that others can have some reference. In case you encounter the same situation later, you'll have some idea of ​​what to do.

[Also, I'd like to ask here if anyone has blueprints for materials that use one of these three: fangs, vines, or volcanic mud. Please feel free to message me.]

Without Lin Zhaoyin saying much, everyone knows that it must be an item obtained on the level 3 island, and it looks like materials for weapons or special items.

Before long, a player actually showed up; it turned out to be one of the 20 people in the planting project who had previously added each other as friends.

Ning Hao: [Yinyin, how many venom fangs do you have? I have a weapon blueprint that's made with venom fangs. I didn't have the materials before, so I didn't mention it.]

Lin Zhaoyin's eyes lit up; it really was weapon materials. And since it was a player participating in the planting project, she wouldn't have to spend any money!

[I have over 60 venomous fangs, is that enough?]

Ning Hao: [That's enough! It requires 50 venomous fangs to craft. Send them to me, I'll make them for you right away! This is a B-grade weapon, so it will take a bit longer to craft, about 6 hours.]

Lin Zhaoyin immediately sent over the Poison Fang. She finally understood why the weapons she had collected last time were mostly D-grade and C-grade. She didn't have the basic B-grade blueprints and materials, so she naturally couldn't make them.

While waiting for the new weapon, Lin Zhaoyin also successfully upgraded the two Windbows, and sent one of them to her younger sister.

Lin Zhaoyin saw that the upgraded Windwalker Bow now displayed "Upgraded," indicating that each weapon could only be upgraded once at most. However, attribute stones were also difficult to obtain, and she hadn't collected enough snow crystals yet.

There may be snow crystals on the market, but because she had attracted attention by collecting them anonymously last time, she could no longer ask people to buy stones under her real name.

While waiting for the weapons, Lin Zhaoyin took out the Divine Machine, though she actually preferred to call it a cell phone.

"You're free now, Xiaoshi, how about we watch a show? Is there anything you'd like to see?"

Zhou Shiyun's eyes lit up. "Can I choose?"

Lin Zhaoyin nodded, "This phone is half yours too, so of course you can choose it."

"Great! I'm so fed up with staring at those monsters every day in this lousy game. I want to see some handsome guys!"

So the two of them spent a long time scrolling through their phones, and when it came to where the most handsome guys were, they had to look at talent shows!

Lin Zhaoyin had never watched talent shows before, but she was willing to try to learn more. She had to admit that most of these young men were quite good-looking, especially those who were good at singing and dancing, which made Lin Zhaoyin nod repeatedly in approval.

Zhou Shiyun had watched this talent show before, and even knew who the final group members were, so she couldn't help but spoil it for Lin Zhaoyin while watching.

To keep in sync with each other's schedules, Zhou Shiyun even invited her friends to watch the show with Lin Wanyi.

Lin Wanyi, a senior high school student who was obsessed with studying, had never seen anything like this before. At first, she was extremely resistant, but after watching for a while, she found it very appealing.

"It's a pity that Wan Yi is a top student, otherwise, with that incredibly cute baby face, she would definitely be a sensation if she participated in a girl group audition!"

The Lin sisters were very curious about this, asking, "Why can't top students do it?"

Zhou Shiyun suppressed a laugh and replied, "Hey, how many top students actually become idols? Don't be fooled by the handsome men and beautiful women in these boy and girl groups; a large portion of them are just average students!"

At this point, Zhou Shiyun perked up and started telling the two sisters about the entertainment industry, sharing a lot of gossip and interesting stories she knew.

The Lin sisters, who don't follow celebrities, were stunned and could only say that the entertainment industry is truly chaotic.

When the topic turned to idol worship, the three of them turned off the talent show and dug out the most popular historical romance drama they watched before they entered this game. However, they weren't there to watch for handsome men and beautiful women; instead, they watched and commented on it.

At times like these, even bad TV dramas can have a strange effect; their abundance of flaws can actually spark people's desire to express themselves.

Suddenly, the dull island was no longer boring; they seemed to have forgotten that they were in a dangerous game.

Of course, it's impossible for them to forget, because even if they did, the system would remind them that it's time to go out and fight monsters.

After defeating a round of monsters and returning, it was time to prepare lunch. Lin Zhaoyin continued studying Shenji. Just now, she noticed that Shenji's community section had sent her a new message.

[Julia Bellman in District 2137 defeated a level 1 island elite monster and obtained a pet egg.]

Julia Bellman is also among the top 10 players in the power rankings, and is currently one of only two female players in the top 10.

Lin Zhaoyin wasn't surprised that players from other regions would also obtain pet eggs in advance, since boss monsters existed, and some players were bound to encounter them.

Even without anyone providing them with information, it's only a matter of time before the top-ranked players on the power rankings obtain pet eggs.

I just don't know how many players have actually obtained a pet yet?
