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

Lin Zhaoyin hadn't fought monsters for this long in a long time. An hour and a half had passed since the monster tide came ashore, and she hadn't stopped for a while.

There shouldn't be any other monsters appearing in the short term, so Lin Zhaoyin packed up all her things and went back to the cabin.

She wasn't in a hurry to open the treasure chest; it would be dangerous for her to open it carelessly with her clumsy little hands, so she decided to take a nap first.

Perhaps she was too tired from fighting monsters, Lin Zhaoyin fell asleep soon after, and didn't wake up until the game announced something.

[Congratulations to all players who have successfully completed the first round of the Cataclysm Challenge! The next round will begin in 3 days. The second Cataclysm is: Blizzard. Please prepare yourselves for the challenge!]

Lin Zhaoyin patted her head and realized it was already dark. She had only intended to take a short nap, but ended up sleeping all afternoon.

She wondered how her sister was doing; she needed to ask her as soon as possible.

As a result, Lin Zhaoyin was suddenly in a daze from sleep, and Lin Wanyi, who had finished her task early, was frantic because she couldn't contact her sister.

[Sis! I'm done! The system notified me that I'm the second person on the server to complete the challenge, and I got an extra silver treasure chest as a reward. Sis, are you the only one?]

Hey sis, are there a lot of monsters where you are? Remember to contact me after you're done!

Sis, aren't you done yet?

Sis, are you okay? Please reply to my message soon...

……

[Waaaaah, sis, I believe you'll be alright! I've looked into it, dead players get their accounts deleted, you must still be alive, right?]

Lin Zhaoyin's heart nearly stopped when she saw the long message from her sister. She should have checked the chat immediately after finishing. She hadn't been so forgiving in making her sister worry so much!

Lin Zhaoyin quickly replied to the message: [I'm fine, I'm sorry to have worried you. I was so tired from playing that I closed my eyes and slept until now...]

Lin Wanyi, who was on the verge of a mental breakdown, didn't believe Lin Zhaoyin's story at all. At this moment, she had already imagined a whole drama. Her sister was a melee player, so she must have had a hard time fighting. She might have been seriously injured and unconscious, which was why it had taken so long for her to hear from her.

To avoid worrying herself, she lied and said she was asleep.

Lin Wanyi thought she knew everything, and in order not to waste her sister's good intentions, she pretended to believe her sister's excuse that she was asleep.

[Thank goodness, sis, I'm so glad you're alright.]

Lin Zhaoyin, feeling guilty, deliberately changed the subject. Only after remembering her sister's comment that she was the second player to complete the challenge did she belatedly realize what had happened.

[Wanyi, I didn't expect you to be second place! That's amazing! I came in fifth, and the reward was a bronze treasure chest. This is the first time I've ever seen a treasure chest of any quality other than a wooden one!]

Lin Wanyi found her sister's reply slightly strange. Since her sister was fifth, she should have finished around the same time as her, so how could she have suffered such a serious injury?

But Lin Wanyi didn't say anything more. As long as her sister was alright now, that was fine.

This is my first time opening a Silver Treasure Chest, and I've already opened all of them. A Silver Treasure Chest usually gives you two items: a D-grade down jacket, a B-grade weapon, a B-grade skill, and a Luck Card. Sis, do you need to increase your Luck?

Lin Zhaoyin thought for a moment and then declined her sister's offer. Although it could increase her luck value and the probability of some events, it would also make the guaranteed drop of her trash purification skill unpredictable. This skill was still very important, and if she couldn't be sure that the guaranteed drop would be a good item, she might end up wasting some good resources.

[Your luck stat is 9 points, right? Why don't you use it yourself? Compared to me going from 1 point to 2, maybe your luck will improve even more after you reach the maximum.]

Lin Wanyi thought her sister's words made a lot of sense, so she used the luck value card herself.

"Sis, I have 10 luck points now. Do you want me to open those two treasure chests for you?"

Without hesitation, Lin Zhaoyin sent over her two treasure chests. The next natural disaster was a blizzard, and she hoped to get a down jacket from them. She was also open to other items like equipment, weapons, skills, blueprints, or attribute cards.

The two sisters have recently discovered that Lin Wan-yi has a high luck factor; if she makes a wish before opening the box, it will most likely come true.

Three minutes later, Lin Wanyi sent over the items she had obtained, and Lin Zhaoyin's eyes widened in surprise.

[Black down jacket, C-grade equipment, providing you with warmth and a sense of security, defense +10]

[Wind and Thunder Sword, Grade B weapon, 30% attack bonus, deals 5% continuous damage over 5 seconds]

[Sea Shield Blueprint; after learning it, you can craft the C-grade equipment, Sea Shield.]

In addition, 200 gold coins were also found in the bronze treasure chest.

Is this the power of having maximum luck? The down jacket Lin Wanyi opened for herself before was only grade D, but now she's opened a grade C!

The B-grade Wind and Thunder Sword is also quite different from previous weapons. Previous weapons had fixed damage values, while the percentage-based weapon means that it is a weapon with growth potential. The stronger the player, the greater the weapon's effect!

The usefulness of the equipment blueprint is self-evident. If you were given the equipment directly, you would only get one piece, but with the blueprint, you can make several pieces.

Lin Zhaoyin immediately began studying it and discovered that the material for the Sea Shield was actually crab shells! One Sea Shield required 30 crab shells to make, and she had more than enough crab shells on hand.

After Lin Zhaoyin finished making one Sea Shield, she asked Lin Wanyi for some crab shells so she could continue making the second one.

After putting on all the equipment she had acquired that day, Lin Zhaoyin finally accessed her newly upgraded personal attributes.

Because the down jacket was a bit thick, Lin Zhaoyin didn't wear it. She planned to wait until it got colder in a couple of days, at which point her defense bonus would reach 45 points.

Lin Zhaoyin hadn't forgotten about buying things from the shop once she reached level 5, so she switched back to the system shop interface. Sure enough, the shop had automatically updated to level 2, and the number of products had increased from 5 pages to 20 pages.

Furthermore, the original starting items are now on sale. Although it's only a 95% discount, it still saves a lot, since the items in the system shop are not cheap.

With each page Lin Zhaoyin turned, she found more items she wanted to buy. After looking at all the items in the 20-page online store, her mental shopping list had grown quite long.
