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

Lin Zhaoyin adjusted the automatic level-up settings in advance, and after killing a few more monsters in the afternoon, she leveled up to level 4, and her defense and agility each increased by 5 points.

As dusk approached, Lin Zhaoyin prepared to wrap up work.

With her attack power greatly increased, Lin Zhaoyin felt that today was a very relaxing day. So she decided to celebrate and have a more elaborate dinner. Unfortunately, she didn't have enough ingredients to make many different dishes.

First, she kneaded a dough with flour and sesame seeds, then divided it into small balls, flattened them into biscuits, and baked them directly over a fire. Biscuits keep very well and are convenient to eat, so she made a lot at once so she could have them for breakfast the next day.

Then, I used octopus meat and fish, shrimp, and kelp caught in the fishing net to make a seafood soup, which went perfectly with dried biscuits.

After dinner, Lin Zhaoyin discovered that the trade she had initiated had been completed; a player had exchanged a Life Card for her two bananas.

Lin Zhaoyin immediately used her Life Card, increasing her maximum health by 50 points.

Lin Zhaoyin is running low on trash, and fewer and fewer players are asking her to trade trash for water. She hasn't had a single successful trade all day. Lin Zhaoyin guesses that perhaps many players with low luck didn't survive, or perhaps many players are too afraid to go out fishing for treasure chests in this weather.

With her current attack power, she could kill a monster in one hit even when facing a group of monsters. Therefore, she didn't need to manage her stamina balance and could instead unlock all the hidden junk items she could to enhance her strength.

After considering it, Lin Zhaoyin decided to clear her energy points and begin purifying the trash.

[Hunter's Vest, C-grade equipment, grants +10 defense when worn]

[Basic Energy Potion, restores +100 energy upon use]

[Rank B Skill Book: Fireball Technique, this skill can be learned after studying it]

The skill book was a fragment obtained from fighting monsters this afternoon. Lin Zhaoyin, who was equipped with the skill "You Are My Eyes", discovered that such fragments could be completed with skills. So she tried it and actually succeeded.

Lin Zhaoyin started learning without hesitation.

[Fire Technique, Rank B combat skill, deals magic damage to enemies using 30 stamina points; the effect is doubled against ice and snow type enemies.]

Lin Zhaoyin was very satisfied with the new skill +1.

After the upgrade, Lin Zhaoyin's ranking on the combat power leaderboard has risen to 6th.

Lin Zhaoyin had a great day, not only did her island receive a major upgrade, but she also gained new attributes, skills, and items!

At this moment, Lin Zhaoyin felt refreshed and not sleepy at all, so she decided to start working on renovating her wooden house. Her first renovation plan was to create a bathroom area.

First, make a frame out of wooden strips, then seal two sides with plastic sheeting, and make a curtain-like structure on the other side for easy entry and exit.

The toilet produced by the system is amazing. It is not only a smart and multifunctional model that solves the problem of personal hygiene after using the toilet, but it can also clean itself automatically without the need for water pipes.

Theoretically, there should also be showers or bathtubs, but they can't be found in the crafting station's encyclopedia. It's possible that additional blueprints are needed to unlock them.

After making the pillows and bedding, Lin Zhaoyin added a glass window, installing it opposite the original window.

Now that the island's area has increased, having an extra window makes it easier to observe the outside situation.

By the time I finished all that, it was almost 11 o'clock. I was just about to lie down and go to bed when the monster came knocking on the door.

Lin Zhaoyin finished the battle in 5 minutes after leaving the house, and also tried out her newly learned skill, Fire Technique, which had very cool special effects.

After defeating the monsters, I can finally go to sleep peacefully. According to the game system's inertia, even if there is another wave of monsters, it will be almost dawn before I can get to sleep.

Day 7 of the game calendar, heavy smog, 18 degrees Celsius.

Lin Zhaoyin munched on the sesame cakes she had made yesterday while glancing at the messages in the chat group. Something seemed amiss today!

[I started losing health as soon as I stepped outside today, it said I had smog poisoning, losing 2 points of health per minute, but I was fine as soon as I went back to the cabin.]

【So what do we do? We can't just stay indoors forever, can we? Stop fishing for treasure chests? Stop fighting monsters?】

[You don't need to fish for treasure chests, but if you don't fight monsters, they'll attack your shelter, and your cabin will lose durability! Plus, fighting monsters will drop resources!]

You can use two rocks to wedge the fishing rod in place, leaving it outside until the allotted time is almost up, then go back in to reel it in. Just don't leave it outside for too long.

But won't the monster destroy the fishing rod? If it's broken or lost, there won't be a second one...

I got a gas mask while fighting monsters these past couple of days, and I just tried it out and it works.

I also managed to get a gas mask, so I don't have to worry about going out anymore.

2 points of health per minute may not seem like much, but considering that it takes half an hour to catch a treasure chest, each treasure chest will consume 60 health points.

Most players currently have 300 health points. If they return to the cabin to rest, they can only recover 30 health points per hour, which is 4 times the rate at which their health is consumed!

Moreover, it's not just that. Many players inevitably get injured and lose health when fighting monsters. Fighting monsters when your health is low is a very dangerous thing.

Lin Zhaoyin currently has 450 health points, and her attack power is basically enough to ensure her safety when fighting monsters. However, given the current situation, she doesn't dare to recklessly use her health points to fish for treasure chests.

However, Lin Zhaoyin had a fishing net, and seeing the suggestion from the player before her, she decided to take a chance and put the net in. Also, her water purifier needed to be replenished with fresh seawater.

Lin Zhaoyin completed the operation as quickly as possible, running breathlessly, and returned to the wooden house in exactly 5 minutes.

Judging from the information in the chat channel these past few days, the game hasn't completely blocked the players' paths. Based on the characteristics of the natural disasters, the game will provide players with some targeted items.

Lately, I've been seeing a lot of posts about flashlights and searchlights. While they're not as good as glasses, they can still help clear the vision obstructed by smog to some extent. It's the same with gas masks; since smog is toxic, people are using protective gear to shield themselves from it.

Lin Wanyi sent a message: [Sis, I got a gas mask yesterday too. I'm going to fish for treasure chests first, and I'll give it to you when I'm done!]

Of course, only those with high luck can afford these targeted items.

Fortunately, Lin Zhaoyin's family also has a lucky person like that!
