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

Lin Zhaoyin had already obtained a Tide Stone from Qin Feng, and now Zhou Shiyun had given her another one, so she now had three in total.

Two more islands would be enough to expand the island, but Lin Zhaoyin already owns two islands, so there's no rush to expand it.

Dinner was cooked by Zhou Shiyun again, and her cooking skills received unanimous praise from Lin Zhaoyin and Lin Wanyi.

After dinner, everyone didn't rush to separate and rest, because Lin Zhaoyin still had to take people to harvest her watermelons.

The watermelons ripened at 8 PM. Lin Zhaoyin had been worried that this year's watermelons might still be ineffective, since the last time it was clearly stated that the crop was being eroded, but this time it was written that it might be eroded.

Lin Zhaoyin was genuinely unsure about this probabilistic event.

However, she really didn't expect there to be a 50/50 chance.

There are a total of 4 watermelons. 2 are normal magical watermelons, while the other 2 are ordinary watermelons without any bonus effects.

However, a problem arises: currently there are only 2 watermelons with the bonus, but after using the skill, there will be 4 watermelons, which cannot be evenly distributed among the 3 people. The magical fruit only works if you eat a whole one; once it's divided, the bonus is lost.

In fact, Lin Zhaoyin did not intend to treat Zhou Shiyun and her sister the same way, giving them completely equal treatment, but it would indeed be unreasonable to give them nothing at all.

"Sister Yinyin, are you worried about the allocation of tasks?"

Lin Zhaoyin's expression didn't reveal much, and Zhou Shiyun immediately guessed what she was thinking.

"You worked so hard to grow these watermelons, you can't expect me to share them just because I'm here. And don't worry that I'll get angry about it. What kind of person do you take me for?"

Lin Zhaoyin is a very stubborn person who likes to challenge herself. Although there will be many more miraculous fruits in the future, and it is impossible for everyone to receive the same amount every time, Lin Zhaoyin always feels that she has to show some attitude.

"Xiao Shi, I do need to admit that I can't treat you like a sister at all, but I can promise you that I will share a small portion of the magical fruits I grow in the future. You don't need to feel burdened; you saw what happened today. The island merger has its advantages and disadvantages. You can't rely on me to fight monsters alone. Only when your attributes are strengthened can you better help me in the future."

Lin Zhaoyin's words were not just polite talk; she only realized this when she was thinking about how to distribute the fruits.

The rewards for previous Natural Disaster Challenges included Island Tokens, so it's certain that Island Tokens will reappear in the future. This game not only aims to incite players to fight each other, but also hopes to encourage more players to unite and form large groups.

Just like when you encounter a level 3 island like Rabbit Island, it's a dead end for an ordinary player to go there alone. Even if the player's level increases, the monsters can also level up. To deal with a large number of monsters, a team is essential.

Zhou Shiyun has healing skills, but if her growth can't keep up with mine, then I'll have to take care of protecting her when I fight monsters, which would just add to my burden.

Lin Zhaoyin didn't regret that recruiting others meant she had to deal with more monsters; fighting monsters was essential for gaining experience and leveling up. Besides, having teammates wouldn't be any worse than being alone.

Lin Zhaoyin's sincerity was hard not to move, and Zhou Shiyun felt a lump in her throat. "Sister Yinyin, I'll do whatever you say."

After saying that, Lin Zhaoyin started planning the watermelons again.

If three people can't equally divide four watermelons, then adding another person to divide the watermelons would solve the problem, wouldn't it?

She didn't know if Qin Feng was asleep at that time, so she tentatively sent him a message.

[Uncle Qin, are you asleep? I have a magical watermelon here that can increase your health, stamina, and energy by 100 each. Do you want to buy it?]

Lin Zhaoyin initially considered listing one for sale in the trading area, but she didn't know how much to ask for and was also worried that people would become suspicious, so she decided it was better to handle it on a small scale.

Qin Feng, who was just about to rest, saw the message and replied immediately: 【I want it, what's the price?】

The next second, another message came in.

Aren't you going to keep it for yourself?

Lin Zhaoyin had already prepared her response.

[I have more myself. This melon is huge; it'll take a long time to eat it. You can decide on the price; I trust Uncle Qin won't let me lose out.]

By passing the problem to others, she wouldn't have to worry about setting a price herself, since she genuinely believed Qin Feng wouldn't try to cheat her.

I've obtained the Azure Scale Armor blueprint, and I can craft three Azure Scale Armors for you. I'll also give you an additional 1000 gold coins. Is that acceptable?

Lin Zhaoyin readily agreed, and casually asked, "Okay, what level of equipment is the Azure Scale Armor?"

[Grade B equipment, increases defense by 20 points. However, you need to obtain the materials yourself; one piece of Azure Scale Armor requires 100 Azure Scales.]

Lin Zhaoyin currently has a C-grade vest; switching to this would give her an additional 10 points of defense. Qin Feng wouldn't lose out even if he only traded three Azure Scale Armors for her, since materials that he wouldn't use would just take up space.

I've already fought the Azure Scaled Bird twice, so it would be perfect to get the materials from my sister's side as well.

Lin Zhaoyin immediately scooped out the flesh of a watermelon and then used garbage purification to create a new watermelon. She then sent the Azure Scale materials and the created watermelon together, while Qin Feng transferred 1000 gold coins first.

Equipment can add attribute points, but the stats added by watermelons are permanent, so both parties felt they had made a profit from this deal.

Lin Zhaoyin lay there without intending to sleep immediately, because the issue of a watermelon had given her a lot of thoughts.

I currently have two island tokens, and my sister has one. I'll definitely save one for when the sisters reunite. So, I need to think carefully about how to use the other two island tokens.

In the past two days, players have been encountering player islands or resource islands more and more frequently, and you never know when you might run into the next player.

If she were unlucky enough to encounter a villain, with Lin Zhaoyin's current combat strength and a pure-blooded healer, she wouldn't have to worry at all.

She even now feels that encountering bad people is actually a good thing. It eliminates a potential danger for other players, and she doesn't have to worry about whether to keep them alive, so there's absolutely no downside.

But what she's currently struggling with is the future composition of her squad. She's primarily a melee fighter with decent magic attack, while her younger sister will definitely be the main ranged attacker, and Zhou Shiyun can also heal the squad members.

Ideally, Lin Zhaoyin would want a tank player with maximum health and an assassin player with high agility and high attack, which would make her team composition perfect.

Of course, Lin Zhaoyin was just thinking about it casually. What kind of players she would encounter in the future was unknown, and there might even be more suitable members than this one.
