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

If you can't attack the Flame Sprite directly, then changing its form is indeed a good approach.

While it's a bit funny that a fire extinguisher can freeze flames, it's not a real flame at all; it's just a strange flame shape.

After this player posted the message, in addition to some unbelievable comments, another player said that their freeze gun also worked.

It was indeed difficult for Zhou Shiyun to fight the fire elves with just her crossbow, so Lin Zhaoyin planned to go to the trading area to buy a fire extinguisher or a freeze gun.

However, Lin Zhaoyin was unsure what to exchange it for, and after much deliberation, she chose a water purifier. If she didn't want a water purifier, she could also contact her privately.

The fact that the trading area allows anonymous posting and chatting is a good thing, and Lin Zhaoyin doesn't want to be exposed.

Soon, Lin Zhaoyin received a private message for a transaction.

Hello, I already have the water filtration equipment. Are there any other items I can choose from?

Do you have a type you'd prefer? Let me see if I fit the bill.

Lin Zhaoyin didn't know what to change, so she simply asked the other party directly.

The other player replied after a while.

[Ideally, it would be equipment or weapons. You probably need them to fight the Flame Sprite, right? I don't need anything too fancy, B-grade is fine.]

Lin Zhaoyin was embarrassed. B-grade equipment is considered too good?

Lin Zhaoyin herself also needs B-grade equipment, and the only C-grade item she can make herself using blueprints is the Sea Shield.

"Xiao Shi, have you ever studied any blueprints for B-grade or C-grade weapons and equipment?"

"We don't have any B-grade items, but we do have a Sea Ring (C-grade). Do you need it, Sister Yinyin?"

Equipment of the same type cannot be used together. Lin Zhaoyin already had an A-grade Undead Ring, so Zhou Shiyun didn't make one for her.

Can I give you two C-grade equipment pieces, a shield and a ring?

Two C-rank items are also acceptable, but you'll need to add something else, like small props.

The other party clearly knew that she wanted it and kept pushing her luck, but Lin Zhaoyin really needed it and didn't care about the small amount, so she didn't bother.

I can give you a glass window so you can see what's happening outside from inside the shelter.

[Glass windows! Wow, you're so extravagant! Can I have two?]

This person probably realized he was asking for too much, and fearing that Lin Zhaoyin might really get angry, he quickly added another sentence.

I won't take the extra glass window for free; I'm willing to pay extra!

If Lin Zhaoyin hadn't made a living by scavenging, glass would be a very precious resource. Naturally, Lin Zhaoyin didn't want to let this unscrupulous merchant get away with it.

[I'll charge you 2000 gold coins for the glass window; it's not easy for me to get my hands on any glass.]

To her surprise, the other party immediately agreed. Lin Zhaoyin suddenly realized that she had quoted too low a price and had lost out!

Both sides need to spend some time making the items for the trade. Lin Zhaoyin has to make shields and windows, which takes quite a bit of time.

The trading players probably knew this too, so they suggested to Lin Zhaoyin that they split the order into two: trade the completed equipment and fire extinguishers first, and then open another order for the two windows.

Windows are useful, but the opposing player still wants to get the equipment as soon as possible, because those are real attribute points!

With two pieces of equipment and the window, Lin Zhaoyin felt she had gotten a terrible deal. She never asked for high prices when trading with other players, but she had run into this kind of unscrupulous merchant.

Lin Zhaoyin had considered waiting to see if any other players would appear, but after chatting for a while and no one else showed up, Lin Zhaoyin knew it was hopeless.

I don't know how many times I'll be able to use this fire extinguisher after the transaction.

After the transaction was completed, Lin Zhaoyin finally saw the fire extinguisher prop, which looked exactly like a real-world fire extinguisher. The only difference was that this fire extinguisher could be used indefinitely, and it was similar in type to the musket she had obtained before.

Lin Zhaoyin comforted herself, thinking that there must be more than one fire-type monster, and the fire extinguisher would definitely be useful in the future.

Less than ten minutes after I got the fire extinguisher, the fire alarm for the shelter went off again. It really came at the right time.

Lin Zhaoyin sprayed the fire extinguisher at the shelter building, and the flames flew everywhere. After escaping back to its original form, the flame spirit's color had already become a little strange.

When you extinguish the fire on those fire sprites, they develop a layer of white, brittle shell, which must be what the player meant by materialization.

Lin Zhaoyin, skilled and daring, charged forward with the Wind and Thunder Sword, actually managing to attack the Flame Spirit.

Since all the Flame Spirits had regained their original forms this time, after extinguishing all the flames, Lin Zhaoyin and Zhou Shiyun worked together to attack, killing all the Flame Spirits in just one-tenth of the time it took at noon.

Back at the shelter, it was time to prepare dinner again.

Lin Zhaoyin still prefers the freeze gun. If a player with the freeze gun blueprints finds her, Lin Zhaoyin is willing to spend more money to buy it.

The use cases for the freeze gun are definitely far more numerous than those for the fire extinguisher. Regardless of whether it can be used on water-type monsters, at least it can make ice by itself.

Just as I sat down to wait for my rice, Lin Wanyi's message arrived.

[Sis, great news! Two pieces of great news!]

Lin Zhaoyin's eyes lit up, and she rubbed her hands together, waiting for her sister to continue.

The mangosteen seeds you gave me at noon have just sprouted! They must have been sitting with you for a while, because they sprouted so quickly after I received them!

[And didn't you say this morning there was no ice? I just got a freeze gun blueprint, now we can have ice freely!]

Lin Zhaoyin burst into tears upon seeing her sister's message. Sure enough, if you make a wish with your sister, she can make it come true!

She was just too excited to know which piece of good news to respond to first!

However, there's no need to elaborate on the freezing gun; Lin Wanyi would make two portions even without Lin Zhaoyin asking, giving one to her older sister. Lin Zhaoyin just needs to wait for her younger sister's gift.

We still need to talk about the seeds first.

[I had suspected before that each island could only plant one plot of land for these magical fruits, and it seems my guess was right. Otherwise, how could they have sprouted so quickly after I gave them to you?]

"Sis, if I give you a sprouted seed and you give me one that hasn't sprouted yet, wouldn't we be able to plant a lot of trees?"

Exploiting bugs wasn't just Lin Zhaoyin's hobby; Lin Wanyi enjoyed it too. Lin Zhaoyin was also very interested in the suggestion, and she wasn't greedy—one tree for each person would be wonderful.

So the two sisters started to exploit loopholes and tried to plant a second plot of mangosteen on Lin Zhaoyin's island.

However, after the seeds were sent and the land was purchased, a jarring system notification sounded, informing Lin Zhaoyin.

[This player's island has reached the planting limit for this crop and cannot continue planting.]
