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

Only after confirming the apple tree's health did Lin Zhaoyin finally feel like going back to the cabin to make breakfast.

She still had a watermelon she had saved up to eat, and today, apart from breakfast, Lin Zhaoyin decided to finish the big watermelon.

Lin Zhaoyin must be longing for a peaceful day, because she can post garbage collection deals again!

During the previous blizzard disaster, other supplies were hard to obtain, but Lin Zhaoyin had a musket, so obtaining seawater was not difficult, and the water resources were never interrupted.

Many players rely on melting snow for drinking water, but now that the weather is clear, water resources are scarce. Trading water for trash now will definitely bring in a lot of orders.

After having breakfast, Lin Zhaoyin moved the potted plants, the treasure chest containing ice crystals, and some miscellaneous items outside the wooden house, and also put the furniture into her backpack. Otherwise, when the shelter started upgrading later, everything would be ejected, and Lin Zhaoyin was afraid that some things would be damaged.

Upgrading from a log cabin to a stone cabin takes 4 hours, which happens to coincide with the lunch break.

Lin Zhaoyin sat down next to the apple tree and began fishing for treasure chests. The apple tree had grown quite thick and sturdy, and sitting under it provided shade, making it a really good spot for fishing for treasure chests.

While fishing for treasure chests, the familiar seafood monsters also made an appearance. Perhaps it was the first peaceful day after the natural disaster, as the same old faces showed up, only their levels had increased.

However, unlike before, this time the seafood monsters no longer go out alone; they always appear in groups of two or three, but the time intervals between their appearances have also become longer.

Since the morning, people have been sharing their newly acquired exclusive weapons in the chat channel.

Because the material used for synthesis is snow crystal, the weapons synthesized from it are mostly ice-based or water-based.

Lin Zhaoyin was very envious as she watched others chat. Her weapon wouldn't be finished until after 3 PM, while her sister's would be finished by 1 PM.

However, before that, Lin Zhaoyin's shelter had also been successfully upgraded.

The plastic sheeting and nails that were originally nailed to the wooden house became ineffective after the shelter upgrade and were now piled haphazardly on the ground. These materials could still be used, so Lin Zhaoyin naturally wouldn't waste them.

Fortunately, she removed the homemade toilet partition before the upgrade, otherwise it would probably be a pile of materials now.

After rearranging the furniture, Lin Zhaoyin was finally able to take a good look at the brand-new stone house.

The stone house has 60 defense points, so even if monsters attack at night, its durability won't drop easily.

The information about the stone house included the sentence: "It can withstand storms."

Sure enough, the shelter had to be upgraded before the storm hit, otherwise the cabin might be blown away when the disaster struck.

Stones are a basic resource that every player has, but only a few players can save up 100 stones on the first day like the Lin Zhaoyin sisters. Fortunately, there are still three days of peace and quiet left, so even if you can't save up enough, you should be able to exchange some other resources with other players.

Lin Zhaoyin cut the watermelon in half and ate it directly with a spoon, carefully collecting even the watermelon seeds and rind.

Lin Zhaoyin really liked these fruits with seeds and peels. As long as there were any remnants, she could purify the garbage and recreate one. And after eating the recreated fruit, she might even be able to use it to grow something.

Currently, the only things that can't be replicated using skills are carrots and today's newly harvested cucumbers grown in the magical potted plants.

Bananas, oranges, and peanuts have skins but no pits, making them completely impossible to grow.

Lin Zhaoyin put the fruit pits and potato chunks together. Now that the weather is warming up, she also needs to keep an eye on whether any of them have sprouted.

Despite it being a post-apocalyptic game about leveling up and fighting monsters, Lin Zhaoyin didn't know why she had turned into a worried farmer.

But she would rather she really be a farmer, and she would be happy just planting crops every day, right?

At 1 p.m., Lin Wanyi's exclusive weapon was successfully synthesized, a set of A-grade bows and arrows.

Lin Wanyi originally wanted to show the weapon to her sister, just like yesterday, but the system prompted her that exclusive weapons could not be traded or gifted.

Lin Zhaoyin couldn't see the actual object; she could only read her sister's description.

The Frost Moon Bow is a very beautiful bow, with a texture that feels like cool jade to the touch. The Frost Moon Arrow has the exact same feel and texture as the Frost Moon Bow.

This weapon set also has excellent attribute bonuses, with attack power twice that of the player, and once hit by the Frost Moon Arrow, there is a chance to be frozen for 10 seconds.

For Lin Wanyi, this kind of probabilistic event is equivalent to directly possessing the freezing effect.

However, this weapon set also has a drawback: there are only 10 Frost Moon Arrows, and one arrow is replenished every minute after use. If it's going to be a prolonged battle, 10 arrows are simply not enough. Therefore, Lin Wanyi still needs to keep the original bow and arrow set as a backup.

After two hours of anxious anticipation, Lin Zhaoyin was finally close to getting her own exclusive weapon.

From the moment the countdown of 3 minutes began, Lin Zhaoyin's eyes never left those snow crystals.

Countdown: 3 seconds, 2 seconds, 1 second, 0 seconds.

The snow crystal shimmered with a soft white light, and Lin Zhaoyin's exclusive weapon was finally successfully synthesized.

[Ice Soul Needle, Grade A weapon, can be fired infinitely, with a maximum attack range of 5 meters. Each attack deals 50 damage and inflicts 1 point of continuous damage per second on the enemy.]

Lin Zhaoyin picked up the Ice Soul Needle and examined it. Although it was called that, what Lin Zhaoyin actually held was a launcher, which should be worn on the wrist. Its principle was somewhat similar to the hidden arrows in period dramas, making it a type of concealed weapon.

It's still an A-grade weapon, but the extra two hours of waiting weren't for nothing. Although the Ice Soul Needle's attack power is a fixed value—50 points, even less than Lin Zhaoyin's own attack power—it has a continuous damage effect of 1 point per second. The description doesn't mention a time limit, meaning this damage will persist unless the opponent can remove the buff with a skill.

Don't underestimate this 1 point of damage per second. As long as the monsters you encounter can't heal, you can outlast them!

Given the level and health of these monsters, she could easily shoot one needle and run away, hide for a few minutes, and they would be dead, allowing her to escape unscathed.

Moreover, the Ice Soul Needle can be used for both melee and ranged attacks, and can be fired an unlimited number of times, making it a very versatile weapon.

Wearing the Ice Soul Needle on her wrist will not affect Lin Zhaoyin's use of other weapons or skills at all, which is exactly what Lin Zhaoyin wanted.

Lin Wanyi was incredibly envious when she heard that the Ice Soul Needle could be used an unlimited number of times. As far as she knew, almost all ranged weapons had some limitations, but the Ice Soul Needle only had a 5-meter range limit, which was hardly a limitation on their small island.

Lin Zhaoyin felt that she was almost invincible at this moment, and wished she could come and practice with the new weapon.
