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

On the power rankings, many players have already reached level 6. Lin Zhaoyin, who hasn't leveled up yet, hasn't dared to eat the attribute-boosting fruits she recently obtained because she wants to hide her strength.

Seeing that she had finally fallen out of the top ten, Lin Zhaoyin could finally eat the two fruits she had been saving.

The magical mangosteen grants +1 to defense; the magical peach grants +1 to agility.

Even with the addition of 2 attribute points, Lin Zhaoyin is still outside the top ten. After leveling up and adding 10 points, she will still be stable in the top five.

Lin Zhaoyin carefully stored away the leftover fruit pits, waiting with the potatoes to see if they would sprout.

Lin Zhaoyin favored peaches the most, as they are fruits that grow on fruit trees and peach pits have the highest probability of germinating.

Lin Zhaoyin felt like she could laugh in her dreams if she imagined her island being filled with fruit trees and vegetable gardens.

These are not just food sources; the amazing fruit series also provides a continuous stream of attribute points. If you and your sister have enough, you can sell them to other players.

At 11 p.m., the monsters launched a night attack. The monsters that came were still level 4 and 5 Snow Spirits. After defeating the monsters, Lin Zhaoyin went to sleep peacefully.

In the middle of the night, Lin Zhaoyin woke up from the cold because the coal in the fireplace had run out. She got up, added some coal, and went back to sleep.

Day 17 of the game calendar, blizzard, -50 degrees Celsius.

[Due to the shelter being protected and the fireplace being used, the temperature inside the shelter rose by 20 degrees Celsius. The current temperature inside the shelter is -25 degrees Celsius.]

Lin Zhaoyin rubbed her eyes, making sure she wasn't seeing things. The fireplace's effect was fixed, so it must be that her plastic sheeting had enhanced the effect. Was it because the wind outside was unusually strong today?

I opened the system store, expecting there would be a limited-time flash sale today, but the system store was no different from usual.

The worst blizzard has arrived, but no warm clothing supplies have been distributed!

Lin Zhaoyin only had one hand warmer left, but after thinking about it, she decided to use it anyway. She would just have to get through today first, and maybe there would be another turning point.

Even with a 20-degree increase in temperature in their own shelters, it's still so cold. Many people don't have the materials to upgrade their shelters, nor do they have extra heating items like fireplaces. I'm afraid many players will freeze to death from this natural disaster.

As was her habit, Lin Zhaoyin clicked into the chat channel and saw some unpleasant messages.

Many players didn't pay attention to clearing snow from their roofs yesterday. There was already a day and a night of accumulated snow, and the snowstorm intensified last night, causing many players' cabins to collapse under the weight of the snow.

Some players immediately used their saved materials to repair the cabin, but others ran out of materials and were unable to do so. Having lost their shelter, thousands more players disappeared from the game overnight.

This blizzard is expected to continue for another three or four days, but supplies are dwindling. What should we do?

[Is there anyone else who can help us? I haven't managed to snag a single one of those fireplace/gable fireplace deals.]

Production takes time, and we've tried to offer it at the lowest possible price, but there's nothing we can do about the supply falling short of demand.

If I had known there wouldn't be a limited-time sale today, I should have used that hand warmer later; otherwise, I could have made it through the day.

Lin Zhaoyin was helpless as she watched these discussions. Just as she was about to turn off the screen to make breakfast, her sister's message came through.

[Good morning, sister! I was so lucky last night, I actually got some hand warmers! Six of them, we'll split them half!]

They did seem to have talked about hand warmers last night, and she casually mentioned that it would be nice to have hand warmers every day. As a result, her sister got one last night?

Are all you lucky people like this?

Lin Zhaoyin had lost count of how many times she had been shocked by her sister's good fortune. She thought she was getting used to it, but her sister would always surprise her again.

These super-powerful hand warmers arrived just in time; they'll be perfect for them to get through this blizzard.

After breakfast, Lin Zhaoyin went out to shovel snow. Having read the messages in the group chat, she was extra careful while shoveling. The snow on the roof was almost twice as thick as yesterday, and today Lin Zhaoyin was caught off guard and hit directly by a snowball.

Then Lin Zhaoyin saw that her health points had dropped by 10 points... After checking, she found that there were no buffs, and Lin Zhaoyin breathed a sigh of relief.

The magical apple tree remained stagnant, which greatly worried Lin Zhaoyin.

Then a familiar scene unfolded: a mass of ice of unknown origin spread across the island, moving toward the apple trees.

The Frost Giant is back!

Seeing that the ice was going to harm her apple tree, Lin Zhaoyin immediately took out her Wind and Thunder Sword and slashed at the ice on the ground.

After being slashed several times, the ice surface moved in a different direction and then chose a good spot to begin solidifying its main body.

Before the Frost Giant could fully materialize, Lin Zhaoyin swung her Wind and Thunder Sword a few more times. In this state, the monster took less damage, but it was also the best time to attack without worrying about a counterattack.

Lin Zhaoyin originally wanted to use the electromagnetic rod's paralysis effect, but since the ice giant, which had not yet solidified, could not be paralyzed, Lin Zhaoyin could only attack with her bare hands.

However, this ice giant is not very intelligent; it always throws a tantrum after solidifying its body.

Having learned from yesterday's experience, Lin Zhaoyin took advantage of its temper to unleash a double Wind Blade attack, disintegrating it before finishing it off with a single Fireball Technique.

Thanks to the Wind and Thunder Sword that cut off half of its health earlier, otherwise today's kill wouldn't have been so easy.

[You have defeated the level 5 Frost Giant, gaining 50 experience points, 1 Snow Crystal, 65 Gold Coins, and 1 Fish Meat]

Another fish has fallen! Lin Zhaoyin was very satisfied; her energy points hadn't been wasted.

The Frost Giant appears very rarely, and Lin Wanyi has never encountered one so far. She doesn't know if it's related to her luck stat.

Lin Zhaoyin anonymously asked in the chat channel if anyone had encountered this. Indeed, only a few players had encountered it, and all of them had dropped fish meat.

Without counter-skills, it's quite difficult for ordinary players to deal with the Frost Giant, so Lin Zhaoyin shared her experience.

There were still many people chatting anonymously in the chat channel, so no one inquired much about Lin Zhaoyin's affairs; they were all just grateful for her sharing.

With a guide, players can avoid many detours when encountering new monster types.

Mutual help is a traditional virtue of the Chinese people, and with a 20% survival rate target in place, most players would still hope that players can unite to provide more information and help more people survive.

However, the Chinese are only a part of it. There are always some people from other countries who are warlike and would rather the survival rate be less than 20%. As long as they survive, they can become new humans with superpowers!

At this moment, Lin Zhaoyin was unaware that the danger was never this apocalyptic game, but rather her own kind.
