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

Before Lin Zhaoyin was a pair of enormous black wings, with faint golden glitter on them.

[Abyss Wings, S-grade equipment, usable after binding, Attack +10, Defense +20, Agility +70. Note: This equipment cannot be gifted or dropped after binding.]

[Should it be bound to Abyss Wings?]

Lin Zhaoyin didn't react for a long time; she was completely dazzled by the S-grade equipment!

Suddenly, some timely questions popped into her head: After being bound, would it be inconvenient to carry these huge wings on her back every day? Would they hurt her when she slept? Would her clothes tear open with the wings?

Questions aside, this is S-grade equipment; we can't just give it up!

Lin Zhaoyin took a few deep breaths and finally chose to bind the equipment.

The Abyss Wings transformed into a beam of light and landed on Lin Zhaoyin's back. Lin Zhaoyin didn't feel anything strange about having an extra pair of wings.

She reached up and touched her back; her clothes were still intact. The wings weren't attached to her body, but rather like magnets were stuck to her back.

Although it was already dark, Lin Zhaoyin was still eager to try flying it.

Because the wings were a bit too big, Lin Zhaoyin got stuck a little when she went out.

The test flight was a bit awkward. I wasn't used to it during my first takeoff, and not only did it fly haphazardly, but I almost crashed myself.

However, Lin Zhaoyin quickly mastered the knack of flying. After the Abyss Wings were bound to her, they could connect with her mind and consciousness. She only needed to think about how to fly.

The Abyss Wings can not only fly, but also wrap their bodies in wings, which is likely why they have 20 points of defense. Does the 10-point attack bonus mean they can also use their wings to slap enemies?

Lin Zhaoyin flew for half an hour before finally landing and ending the test flight.

Since it can connect with consciousness while flying, can it control its movement according to its own will?

Lin Zhaoyin tried it out; the wings couldn't grow bigger or smaller, but they could be hidden according to her will. This way, there would be no issue of being unable to move freely.

When Lin Zhaoyin returned to the cabin, she realized that she had left her younger sister waiting for half a day, so she quickly sent a message to reply.

Lin Wanyi could completely understand. She hadn't recovered for a while either, and her sister really needed to try out her new equipment first.

The two sisters had agreed not to dismantle the golden treasure chest yet, but to keep it as a souvenir. So the other items they got are still in the chest.

The Golden Treasure Chest contained four items: the S-grade Abyss Wings, the B-grade Black Gold Coat, a pile of stones, and 500 gold coins.

Lin Wanyi opened all the treasure chests today and got stones, which is quite intriguing. Stones must be an important resource in the next natural disaster period.

The area currently requiring a large amount of stone is the shelter upgrade. Upgrading a stone house requires 100 stones, and we got quite a few today, plus what we had saved up before, which is enough for the upgrade.

However, it's already evening, and upgrading the shelter will cause all the furniture to pop up, so players can't enter. Therefore, the upgrade can only be done tomorrow morning.

Lin Zhaoyin was in high spirits at the moment, and she planned to take stock of all her equipment.

Black and gold coat, B-grade equipment, increases defense by 20 points when worn.

Snowfield Helmet, a B-grade equipment, is dropped by the Ice Crack Bird. It is shaped like a helmet and also increases defense by 20 points.

The Ring of the Dead, an A-grade equipment, dropped by the boss in the previous round of the Smog Catastrophe. It adds 20 points to attack, 15 points to defense, and 15 points to agility.

The black down jacket I'm wearing is a C-grade item, but I can't wear it anymore after Blizzard, so I have to put it away for now.

There was also a C-grade vest inside, a thin one, which was still wearable.

The C-grade Sea Shield requires you to hold it to add 10 points of defense. This equipment is always used as needed; use it when you can, and put it away when the situation is not suitable.

And the sneakers on his feet are D-grade equipment, adding 5 points to agility.

As for weapons, there are D-grade stone axes, C-grade electromagnetic rods, and B-grade wind and thunder swords.

Lin Zhaoyin now has three new pieces of equipment, which is a complete upgrade from rags to riches.

换上所有能换的装备，属性加成简直不得了：攻击67+30，防御29+85，敏捷26+90。

With the weapon's bonus, the three attributes are basically balanced.

After taking inventory, Lin Zhaoyin began to organize her supplies, only to realize that she had forgotten about the pile of snow crystals. Wouldn't more than 100 snow crystals be enough to synthesize a new weapon?

Because there were so many, these snow crystals took up two of Lin Zhaoyin's backpack slots, so she decided to take them out and put them in her golden treasure chest.

However, when Lin Zhaoyin took out all the snow crystals and put them into the treasure chest, she saw a system notification.

[Snow Crystal Stones have been detected, meeting the crafting requirements. This will automatically craft a player-exclusive weapon. Crafting countdown: 18 hours]

So you didn't recognize them before because you disassembled them?

I was just about to message my sister to ask what was going on when I found out she had also told me about it.

Perhaps the Snow Crystals don't actually need to be collected in a certain quantity to be synthesized, but rather the process will only be triggered after the blizzard ends and players have killed all the monsters.

Once the blizzard ends, take out these snow crystals again, and they will automatically synthesize your exclusive weapon.

This issue was also discussed in the chat channel, and the number of Snow Crystals obtained by each player was different, as was the synthesis time. Most players took 12 hours, while a small number of players occasionally got critical hits when fighting monsters, so they had more Snow Crystals and their synthesis time ranged from 13 to 16 hours.

It wasn't until she saw the chat channel that Lin Zhaoyin realized that monster drops could have critical hits? Why had she never encountered that before?

She was able to get more Snow Crystals than others simply because she encountered more monsters and fought the Ice Crack Bird three times!

However, Lin Zhaoyin wasn't too heartbroken. There was nothing she could do about her low luck stat. With 18 hours of crafting time, she would definitely get a better weapon than others!

Game calendar day 21, Christmas Day, 12 degrees Celsius, cloudy turning sunny

The snow outside has stopped, and the accumulated snow is slowly melting on its own. The shelter no longer needs to be heated by burning a bunch of fireplaces.

Lin Zhaoyin put away her down jacket and changed into her newly acquired black and gold coat. It was a well-tailored leather jacket that made her look much more handsome.

The first thing Lin Zhaoyin did after getting up was rush outside the wooden house to check on her apple tree.

[The amazing apple tree, ripening stage, 42 hours until fruiting]

Great! Her apple tree has finally returned to normal, and in less than two days, she will be able to eat the magical apples again!
