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

However, the option to outlast the murloc soon became unavailable, because the wounds inflicted on the murloc by Lin Zhaoyin's wind blade attack had already healed.

Lin Zhaoyin took out the Sea Shield, intending to add another layer of protection, but suddenly noticed the Ice Soul Needle on her wrist.

I almost forgot, she still has an A-grade weapon that she hasn't used yet!

Low accuracy doesn't matter; the Ice Soul Needle can be fired an unlimited number of times, making it a perfect live target for practice.

Focusing her attention, Lin Zhaoyin began to aim at the fishman and fire continuously.

It takes time for the merman to condense the water sphere. She just needs to dodge and defend when the water sphere attacks. Abyssal Wings will allow her to fly very fast, and the water sphere will no longer be able to attack her.

Each hit on the murloc caused it to lose 50 health points, and with the added damage of 1 point per second, Lin Zhaoyin finally managed to deplete the murloc's health point little by little.

[You have defeated a level 6 merman in the sea, gaining 60 experience points, 2 fish meat, 10 fish scales, and 1 material illustration]

Upon seeing the loot dropped by the kill, Lin Zhaoyin had a vague feeling that something was wrong. Why did the fish meat dropped by the murloc look exactly the same as the fish meat dropped by the ice giant? Could there be some kind of connection between them?

Or perhaps they just look alike and are not the same species; we may have to try them to be sure.

Putting away the other items, Lin Zhaoyin took out the materials catalog.

[Materials Guide, Reference Book; after studying, you will learn how to craft materials. Do you wish to study it?]

Lin Zhaoyin had only seen blueprints before; this was the first time she had seen an illustrated guide. But there was no need for any hesitation; she could just start learning.

Walking to the crafting table and bringing up the panel, Lin Zhaoyin discovered that hundreds of new entries had appeared under the original coal raw material category. It turned out that after studying this material guide, one could learn what various raw materials could be processed into.

Lin Zhaoyin searched inside and found many familiar materials.

Seashells can be processed into ceramic tiles, bones into bricks, sea urchin shells into cement, lobster shells into red tiles…

Although I don't understand the game's processing logic, I'm certain that the items dropped by these early monsters are all useful!

The items I found in my encyclopedia are mostly building materials. Blue bricks, cement, and red tiles are indeed materials needed to upgrade the shelter to the next level, but I don't know where these tiles are used.

Of the basic loot dropped by the monsters we've encountered so far, only the undead's Soul Core and the octopus's venom have unclear uses.

Because Xue Ling's snow crystals can be used to synthesize exclusive weapons, Lin Zhaoyin guessed that she might encounter the undead race again in the future, and the spirit core would definitely be a similar item with special functions.

Lin Zhaoyin studied them carefully. The production of these materials was the same as the coal before, and 99 pieces could be made at a time. Lin Zhaoyin didn't have that many materials on hand, so she simply asked her sister for some as well. Since the production table was free at the moment, she made some bricks and cement first.

We don't have enough materials to upgrade the shelter yet, so we have to save them for now.

Lin Zhaoyin had considered trading materials with other players, but she felt that since the shelter had just been upgraded and the stone house was still sufficient, she wanted to expand it first rather than upgrade it.

After a busy day, Lin Zhaoyin finally had time to share with her sister the fishman she encountered that day. To deal with this kind of fishman, it's best to have skills that counter water-type attacks.

Lin Zhaoyin's wind blade is a type of skill that can be countered. In addition, she had an S-level flying equipment and an A-level weapon, which allowed her to find a way to turn the tables in the second half. If an ordinary player were to encounter a murloc for the first time, they would likely be in grave danger.

According to the principle of mutual generation and mutual restraint of the five elements, earth-type skills should also be able to restrain them. However, there are various types of skills, and it is not easy to encounter an earth-type skill.

[Perhaps ice-type attacks can also counter it? If water freezes, wouldn't its skills become ineffective?]

Lin Zhaoyin suddenly realized that all the players had used snow crystals to synthesize their own weapons, and these weapons were all mainly ice and snow-themed. Perhaps this was not a coincidence at all!

For example, Lin Wanyi's weapon effect, although it doesn't directly freeze enemies, still has a probability of freezing them, so the essence is actually the same.

Among so many players, there must be quite a few who have crafted weapons with freezing effects.

After analyzing the murlocs, Lin Zhaoyin compiled another monster-hunting guide and posted it in the chat channel.

Today we encountered a new monster type: the Murloc. The Murloc's stats are very high, approaching those of a level 7 Ice Crack Bird. Its skill is a ranged water ball attack; once hit by the water ball, the user loses the ability to move.

Based on today's battle, it's speculated that these skill types are effective against Murlocs. Wind type: can cut, wrap, or use wind shields, etc.; Ice type: can freeze water spheres, but must be used before the spheres hit the user; Earth type: In the Five Elements theory, earth counters water...

Lin Zhaoyin wrote a long passage, combining her own experience with the guesses she had just discussed with her sister.

Lin Zhaoyin used to post anonymously, but she has now changed her mind. She doesn't want to reveal her secrets to others, but that doesn't mean she has to hide in the shadows.

Lin Zhaoyin posted this content publicly using her ID and name.

Because the style of this guide was so familiar, no one noticed the ID at first; they only knew that it was that same expert sharing their experience again.

As usual, the players thanked Lin Zhaoyin for sharing, flooding the screen with dozens of thank-you messages before someone finally posted a comment.

[Hey bro, you forgot to stay anonymous! Are you Lin Zhaoyin, the one ranked second on the power ranking?]

Lin Zhaoyin was prepared for her true identity to be exposed, so she didn't shy away from the question and readily admitted it.

The chat channel exploded! The big shot had revealed his true identity, and he had secretly provided everyone with so much information beforehand!

Of course, Lin Zhaoyin wouldn't take all the credit for herself, and she also explained it to everyone in the chat channel.

Actually, these strategies weren't compiled by me alone. Many of them were ideas provided by my younger sister, and we discussed and deduced them together. It's just that she's young, so I'm the one sharing them with everyone.

Lin Zhaoyin did not intend to let her younger sister appear, not because she wanted to steal the spotlight, but because she knew that doing so would only attract the admiration of other players.

Her desire to be a strong person and lead the way also signifies that she is prepared to face any unexpected troubles.

Although she believes most people are kind, there will always be a few bad apples.

Wow, wow, you're amazing! You're so strong, why did you only step up now? If you had come to help us sooner, wouldn't more players have survived?

[The big shots must have a lot of supplies, could they share some with us low-level players?]

Lin Zhaoyin looked at these messages and couldn't help but sneer. "The rotten apple has already come out on its own."
