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

Lin Zhaoyin didn't reply directly. She first informed her younger sister, since she wasn't alone and needed her sister's permission.

Lin Wanyi was naturally delighted to hear that her sister had received that powerful figure's approval. She was her sister's precious daughter; how could she possibly hold her sister back!

Sister, don't worry, I'll support you no matter what you want to do! I'll always be there for you!

Lin Zhaoyin never doubted her sister's sincerity towards her, but it seemed that only by seeing her sister in person could she have more courage.

Lin Zhaoyin has already kept the big shot waiting for a long time, so it's time for her to reply.

[Commander Qin, thank you for your recognition. I am willing to work with you to contribute to the other players. Of course, I also want to make it clear beforehand: I won't offend others unless they offend me, but if anyone dares to do anything to me or my family, I won't consider anyone's feelings or the bigger picture. No matter who it is, it won't do!]

Seeing Lin Zhaoyin's reply, Qin Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief. He completely understood Lin Zhaoyin's bottom line.

【Xiaolin, thank you for your trust. I support your stance. If someone attacks their own people without reason, I won't condone it, even without you saying so. No matter how strong you are, if your power isn't used for conquest, it's better to have nothing at all.】

Lin Zhaoyin knew that someone of this status wouldn't be a good person. If she encountered someone who wanted to harm other players, this big shot would probably be the first to stand up and kill him.

The guy who was bragging about being number 101 earlier is now completely silent, whether out of fear or because he's been subdued by the big shot.

Xiao Lin, if you'd like, you can call me Uncle Qin. From now on, let's work hard together!

As Lin Zhaoyin was lost in thought, she received another message from Qin Feng. Calling him "Uncle" was quite nice; it was much smoother to say than calling him "Commander" all the time, and it didn't put as much pressure on her.

Okay, Uncle Qin, let's work hard together from now on!

Lin Zhaoyin felt incredibly relieved to have found a powerful backer, because she no longer had to be someone who needed to be relied upon.

Qin Feng said he didn't treat Lin Zhaoyin as a subordinate, so naturally he wouldn't assign her any tasks. The players in the group had been reassured by him; they would contact him immediately if they had any problems in the future.

Today is only the first day of the official start of the second phase. The island has begun to move, but it's not time to encounter other people so soon.

There are only three chances left to fish for treasure chests, and the players' only hope is to wait for monsters to come to them.

Yesterday was a peaceful day on the island; not a single monster appeared from morning till night. Since everyone is short on resources, we still need a few monsters to come and give us some kills.

Fortunately, although there are fewer monsters today, at least we can still encounter some.

Lin Zhaoyin was different; none of the strange things she encountered today came to her on their own initiative.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Zhaoyin went to the shore to retrieve the fishing nets, and the same thing happened again as in the morning.

When Lin Zhaoyin was pulling in the net, she felt that the net was particularly heavy today, and that she might have caught something big. After a lot of effort, she managed to pull the net up, and there it was, staring at the octopus monster trapped inside.

The octopus monster was completely at its mercy, yet it still spat ink at Lin Zhaoyin, acting extremely arrogantly.

Without saying a word, Lin Zhaoyin first stepped on the octopus monster, making its mouth face the ground, and then raised her hand to start injecting the octopus monster with needles.

Although the Wind and Thunder Sword kills monsters faster, Lin Zhaoyin was afraid of damaging her fishing net, so she figured it would be just as good to prick it with a few more needles.

After killing the octopus monster, Lin Zhaoyin began to sort through the trash she had collected in the fishing net. Today, she had indeed made an unexpected harvest.

Lin Zhaoyin pulled a piece of blueprint from the trash heap; it had been a long time since she had found anything useful in the trash.

Regardless of what kind of blueprints these are, I'll just use my skills first.

After using her skill to restore the blueprint fragments, Lin Zhaoyin obtained a blueprint for a translation headset.

Considering that there are people from other countries in District 1096, this thing might indeed be useful.

She had the materials, so she quickly made two using the workbench.

[Translation Headset, a special item that can translate multiple languages, simultaneously translating the language the player hears into their native language.]

This translation headset is shaped like a U-shaped Bluetooth headset; it just hangs on your ear to work. Lin Zhaoyin tried it out, and once she put it on, it wouldn't fall off even if she shook it vigorously.

After giving the second completed translation headset to her younger sister, Lin Zhaoyin thought for a moment and decided to try to improve her relationship with the big boss, so she made a third one.

Uncle Qin, I just got a blueprint today and made a translation headset. I thought you might need it.

Lin Zhaoyin felt she shouldn't act so obsequiously, but she still had to cultivate the boss's favorability, as it wouldn't be a bad thing for the future.

"Thank you, Xiaolin. This is a great item; I'll definitely need it someday. But I can't just take it for free. Is there anything you need?"

Lin Zhaoyin smiled broadly. Even powerful people value reciprocity, but she couldn't actually ask anyone for a favor.

Uncle Qin, I don't need anything, please don't stand on ceremony.

A while later, Qin Feng sent another message.

I don't have anything good to give in return, so please accept this sea tide stone!

Lin Zhaoyin's eyes lit up. This was hard currency! The drop rate of Tide Stones was extremely low! She was currently farming and worried about not having enough space in the future, so she wanted to save up 5 Tide Stones as soon as possible to expand her island!

Thank you, Uncle Qin!

The game has entered its second phase, where the appearance of monsters is no longer predictable, and nighttime monster raids are no longer inevitable.

Lin Zhaoyin slept very well that night, sleeping soundly until dawn.

Day 33 of the game calendar, cloudy, 16 degrees Celsius.

As usual, Lin Zhaoyin ate breakfast and then went out to "hunt" with her tools.

The three chances to use the fishing rod were used up quickly, and Lin Zhaoyin finished fishing in a little over an hour, packed up the fishing rod, and prepared to go home.

However, just as she stood up, she heard the system notification sound.

[A level 3 island has been detected within a 1000-meter radius. Should we proceed to shore?]

Level 3 island? Landing?

Lin Zhaoyin was completely bewildered. She quickly looked around the island and indeed saw a small island shrouded in mist not far away.

No one has mentioned encountering an unclaimed island yet, and Lin Zhaoyin never expected to have this kind of luck.

But Lin Zhaoyin knew that she didn't have any luck, and there would definitely be danger on this island.

But Lin Zhaoyin still intended to be the first to try something new. It was dangerous, but also an opportunity. How would she know what was up there if she didn't go and see for herself?

So Lin Zhaoyin chose to go ashore, and then the small island suddenly accelerated its movement toward the misty island.

For a moment, Lin Zhaoyin couldn't tell whether she was standing on a small island or a speedboat.
