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

Lin Zhaoyin gave Song Shuyan a cold look. "I already said, besides the island token, I also want everything else you have."

Song Shuyan looked humiliated and gritted her teeth, saying, "I don't have anything else on me."

Lin Zhaoyin didn't believe she really hadn't brought anything else, but she couldn't search her body, since the items were in the system's inventory and she couldn't take them out herself.

Although she wasn't really after those things, Lin Zhaoyin felt that this kind of person needed to be taught a lesson so she would remember it.

"Since you didn't bring it in your backpack, why don't you leave two of your belongings behind? I think your gloves and necklace are nice; I'll take those two."

Song Shuyan gripped the necklace around her neck tightly. It was an A-grade piece of equipment; how could she give it away?

Lin Zhaoyin didn't force her, and just waited for Song Shuyan to make her own decision.

Song Shuyan ultimately didn't dare to gamble and handed over the gloves and necklace.

"Go now, and take care of yourself from now on."

Having received the items, Lin Zhaoyin naturally kept her word and let the person leave.

She never truly intended to kill Song Shuyan. Even though Song Shuyan was the first to show murderous intent, she wisely withdrew in the end. Most importantly, Lin Zhaoyin simply couldn't bring herself to do it.

How can killing monsters and killing people be the same?

Unless absolutely necessary, Lin Zhaoyin cannot bring herself to attack any human.

After gaining a chance to live, Song Shuyan left without looking back, but now there is a very awkward situation.

Song Shuyan chose to dock on an island for 24 hours. Unlike unclaimed islands, which cannot be re-entered once left, player islands can freely enter and exit each other's islands during these 24 hours.

Only a few hours have passed, and the docking status cannot be lifted, which means that Lin Zhaoyin and Song Shuyan still need to be wary of each other in the coming days.

Lin Zhaoyin wouldn't let her guard down just because she was stronger than Song Shuyan. Someone who could attack others without any scruples was likely to try to attack her as well.

Moreover, Lin Zhaoyin could sense that Song Shuyan cared a lot about the necklace she had taken.

Those gloves were actually just ordinary protective gloves, only a D-level item. Their main purpose was probably to prevent frostbite from the ice blade.

That necklace is quite interesting. Lin Zhaoyin guessed that it should be a drop from the Skeleton King in the first round of the Smog Disaster.

[Undead Necklace, Grade A Equipment, grants +20 Attack, +15 Defense, and +15 Agility when equipped]

The name and attribute bonuses are exactly the same as the Undead Ring that Lin Zhaoyin obtained, so it's possible that they are a set.

Lin Zhaoyin put the necklace on directly; she wouldn't feel sorry for someone with malicious intentions.

Lin Zhaoyin tried to stay home as much as possible because of a dangerous neighbor, and Song Shuyan thought the same way.

Song Shuyan did indeed want to get her necklace back, and ideally, get revenge. However, knowing Lin Zhaoyin's strength, and with Lin Zhaoyin having taken one of her A-grade equipment, her chances of winning were even slimmer. Even if they were to fight, it couldn't be done openly in broad daylight.

The player's island was small, and Lin Zhaoyin could see everything the other player did through the window. Perhaps she could take this opportunity to see if there were any differences after the player's island was connected.

In the afternoon, seafood monsters would occasionally come to the island. Perhaps because the two player islands were connected, the monsters from both islands would usually come together. So, whenever players left the stone house to fight monsters, they would inevitably see each other.

Lin Zhaoyin dealt with these seafood monsters with ease, eliminating one in just a few moves. After defeating them, she didn't leave but stood on her island to observe her neighbor's situation.

The island was so small that Song Shuyan was naturally somewhat overwhelmed by Lin Zhaoyin's gaze. She lost her usual level of skill and fought in a very sorry state, even though she wasn't injured.

Lin Zhaoyin did this on purpose, to put some pressure on her so that she would realize the gap between them and dispel some of her wrong ideas.

And so, Lin Zhaoyin waited until nightfall without incident.

As dusk began to fall, Lin Zhaoyin received a message from her younger sister: she had returned from the unclaimed island.

Sis, I'm home!

Lin Wanyi actually had enough energy left and could have continued exploring for a while longer, but thinking that it would be dark and her sister would definitely worry if she didn't go back soon, she decided to return to the player island.

Lin Zhaoyin could almost see her sister's joy and excitement in those few words; it seemed that today's harvest was quite good.

Looks like I got a lot of good stuff today? Is it dangerous on a level 1 island?

Lin Wanyi did not reply to the message immediately because after reporting that she was safe, she went to organize the supplies she had collected that day.

Because of the strategy guide prepared in advance by Lin Zhaoyin, Lin Wanyi did not waste any time. She also organized all the supplies neatly and quickly finished before replying to her sister's message.

[Sis, level 1 islands are safe. I encountered a bee island. After discovering the types of monsters on this island, I went straight to their nests and froze them all!]

Lin Wanyi is very tactful when fighting monsters. She's there to collect resources and doesn't want to waste too much time fighting monsters. So she froze all their lairs, preventing any monsters from affecting her.

Moreover, the beehives were all growing on trees, making them very conspicuous. Lin Wanyi found all the beehives in no time and completed the freezing process.

This operation only restricted the movement of the bee monsters; it did not kill them, and Lin Wanyi could not obtain the corresponding kill reward.

But Lin Zhaoyin felt that her sister's choice was right. Bees also live in swarms, and they are small in size, making them difficult to attack. Provoking them could put her in danger.

Lin Wanyi's message also included an attachment. When Lin Zhaoyin opened it, she was almost hit by it.

The attachments were filled with all sorts of ingredients, including the wood ear mushrooms and fungi that Lin Zhaoyin found on Rabbit Island, as well as many kinds of vegetables, all of which were leafy greens!

How did you recognize these vegetables?

Lin Zhaoyin was shocked. Her younger sister was probably not as good as herself in this regard. How did she manage to find these things?

Of course, I pulled them out one by one!

Lin Wanyi carefully listened to everything her sister had told her, knowing that many supplies might be hidden quite well, so she worked hard to find ingredients. Since the island wasn't very big and she had a whole day to spare, she simply started gathering grass from the ground.

Perhaps it's because she's incredibly lucky, but almost everything Lin Wan-yi manages to catch is edible.

While it's hard to understand why so many varieties of vegetables could appear on a small island at the same time, the game world doesn't need to dwell on such illogical combinations.

Good news! After more than 30 days in this terrible game, the Lin sisters are finally able to eat green vegetables!
