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

Having learned from the previous blunder, Lin Zhaoyin immediately left a private message for her sister this time.

Lin Wanyi is also quite strong, and as a ranged archer, she doesn't need to worry about getting hurt like melee players.

Lin Wanyi replied to Lin Zhaoyin's message in less than five minutes.

[Sis! I finished too! I came in second again! Were you first, sis? That's amazing!]

Lin Wan-yi was the second person to suffer from the previous smog disaster, so Lin Zhao-yin was not surprised.

[Yes, I came in first. My reward is a golden treasure chest.]

Lin Wanyi jumped up excitedly in the wooden house. No one knew what would be in the golden treasure chest, and the player who came in first place last time had not revealed any information.

"So I can open the golden treasure chest now? That's awesome! Sis, is there anything you want?"

Lin Zhaoyin didn't rush to send the treasure chest over, mainly because she wanted to spend some more time with it. Even if she couldn't open it herself, it would be good to look at it a few more times.

The entire blizzard event will be resolved after all players have finished, so the two sisters plan to take a nap in the meantime to recover their stats.

Around 3:30 p.m., the system announcement finally went off.

[Congratulations to all players for successfully completing the second round of the Natural Disaster Challenge! The next round will begin in 3 days. The third natural disaster is: Storm. Please prepare yourselves for the challenge!]

Upon hearing the broadcast, Lin Zhaoyin immediately opened the chat channel to check the player count. There were still over 62,000 players, more than 1000 fewer than in the morning.

This is much better than the tens of thousands of people in the first round.

This time, all the players have honed their willpower thanks to Blizzard. In such cold weather, many players have endured hunger and irregular meals. If they were defeated by these monsters, no one would be able to swallow their pride.

After the system broadcast the announcement, the blizzard outside visibly began to subside, and the temperature slowly began to rise.

It's still early, and Christmas Day is short, so cherish every moment you can.

Seeing that the snow had lessened, Lin Zhaoyin immediately took her fishing rod and net and went out.

Cute little trash, here she comes!

Lin Wanyi received her sister's message and thought that her sister's actions made a lot of sense, so she also took her fishing rod and went out to fish for treasure chests.

The island starts to get dark around 6 p.m., and the two sisters fished until after 5 p.m. before heading back to their cabin.

Although the temperature was still very cold, below -20 degrees Celsius, treasure chests could still be fished up. Lin Zhaoyin fished up two treasure chests and also caught a few bits of trash in her fishing net.

Lin Wanyi caught three treasure chests and even got some ingredients from them, which she immediately sent to Lin Zhaoyin.

Lin Zhaoyin decided to have something nice to eat that evening to celebrate that they had survived another ordeal and were about to enjoy three more days of peace.

There's still a piece of pork belly left from last time, and Lin Wanyi got some green peppers today, so we can make a stir-fried pork with green peppers. For the main dish, we'll make a pancake.

For the past few days, I've been eating porridge and noodles every day, and I've been consuming a lot of soup and broth. Finally, I can eat something dry.

Today's random magical fruit was two oranges. Lin Zhaoyin glanced at the information and, without thinking, gave them both to her younger sister.

Unfortunately, the information displayed by the magical orange is: 50% chance of a random attribute +2.

For someone like Lin Zhaoyin, who is extremely unlucky, 50% is practically nothing. But it's different for her younger sister, Lin Wanyi. Her chances of encountering good luck are close to 100%, and these two oranges can give her 4 attribute points.

After finishing her meal, Lin Zhaoyin touched the golden treasure chest again and again before reluctantly sending it to her younger sister along with the other treasure chests.

That's terrible. I'm afraid I'll never experience the joy of opening hidden blind boxes.

Lin Wanyi had never been so nervous before. The silver treasure chest could yield three items, with a guaranteed B-grade weapon, equipment, or skill, and with good luck, one A-grade item or two B-grade items.

So, shouldn't the Golden Treasure Chest guarantee at least an A-grade item? And what about S-grade items?

Lin Wanyi decided to open her two silver treasure chests first to get a feel for opening them.

Sis, I feel like my luck is getting better and better. Do you know what I got?

[I actually got different pieces of the same set from two treasure chests! I got a whole set of B-grade equipment! Sis, look at this!]

Words alone could not express Lin Wanyi's excitement, so she sent her entire set of equipment to Lin Zhaoyin.

Lin Zhaoyin was both amused and exasperated when she saw the four-piece set that had suddenly appeared in her hands.

But after glancing at the message, I understood why my sister was so excited.

[Swiftwind Set: When worn in full, it grants +40 Defense and +80 Agility]

Lin Wanyi was already very agile, and with this outfit on, Lin Zhaoyin felt that her younger sister could take off!

Lin Zhaoyin sent the equipment back, even more excited to see what good items her sister might get for her.

Fearing that she might not be able to handle too many good things at once, Lin Zhaoyin had her younger sister open one and then tell her about it.

[Sis, I got an A-grade skill book, some stones, and gold coins from the silver treasure chest!]

Lin Zhaoyin hopes to have more different types of skills. Each monster has different characteristics, and having more skills is equivalent to having more ways to save her life.

【Infinite Ballad: A-rank combat skill, consumes 20 stamina points, can cause the enemy to lose their five senses for one minute, must be used in conjunction with singing or musical instruments】

This skill is amazing! It instantly locks the enemy in place for a minute. With this, why would she need an electromagnetic rod?

The only problem is the somewhat embarrassing conditions. There's no way there could be any musical instruments in this godforsaken place, so all we can do is sing, right?

Although Lin Zhaoyin wasn't tone-deaf, it was really strange to ask her to sing for a monster.

If I want to use this skill, it seems I need to prepare myself mentally first.

The final highlight is the golden treasure chest. Lin Zhaoyin believes that, given her sister's luck today, she's sure to get something good.

"Sis, I've got the skills, now I want some powerful equipment!"

The main issue is that compared to her attack, her other two attributes are too low; she still needs more defense and agility.

Lin Wanyi received her sister's wish list and started muttering to herself as she worked on the box.

"Treasure chest, treasure chest, please give me a high-level piece of equipment! Something that increases defense and agility! Treasure chest, treasure chest, please!"

Lin Wanyi held her breath and slowly opened the golden treasure chest. Then, a golden light almost blinded her.

Lin Zhaoyin waited for a while and finally received news of her younger sister.

Sis, see for yourself.

Lin Zhaoyin's heart skipped a beat when she saw this sentence. Could it be that she had used up all her good luck by opening other treasure chests? But it was still a gold treasure chest, it couldn't be too bad, could it?

Upon opening the item acceptance window, Lin Zhaoyin was caught completely off guard.

What is that big?

Lin Zhaoyin scrambled to her feet, looking disheveled and nervous, as if she had lost all words in an instant.
