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

Boil water, cook noodles, add the seasoning packet, and finally add two portions of crab meat.

While preparing to cook noodles, Lin Zhaoyin quickly sent a message to her younger sister, asking her to wait a moment for her instant noodles.

Lin Wanyi, who had also gotten up to fight monsters in the middle of the night, had just woken up and immediately replied to her dear sister's message, also sending over the crab meat and octopus meat she had obtained.

Just as Lin Zhaoyin was about to serve the instant noodles after they were cooked, she heard the system notification sound.

[Ding! Detection indicates the player has successfully used exotic beast ingredients and possesses the Chef God skill. The Chef God skill will automatically upgrade, and the player will have a 75% chance to cook food with special effects.]

Lin Zhaoyin: ? Does upgrading just increase the probability?

While this might be useful to others, for someone as unlucky as me, it's all fake unless there's a 100% chance.

He sighed and pretended nothing had happened.

After sending her sister's bowl of instant noodles, Lin Zhaoyin started eating her own.

The workbench only made spoons; there were no options for forks or chopsticks, so Lin Zhaoyin had to eat her noodles by shoveling food into her mouth. She tasted a bite of the crab meat produced by the system, and it was unexpectedly sweet and delicious, seemingly even better than any crab she had ever eaten before.

The portion of crab meat was quite large, roughly equivalent to the meat from four or five normal crabs. After finishing a bowl of crab meat instant noodles, Lin Zhaoyin felt her stomach was finally full.

Perhaps because the bowl of noodles was quite large, it directly increased my stamina by 20 points.

The fog outside was noticeably thicker than yesterday, but Lin Zhaoyin felt she couldn't waste those 10 chances to get the treasure chests, even if they were just basic supplies, as they were very important in this game.

With her fishing net and rod in hand, Lin Zhaoyin went out again.

Yesterday it was just a thin layer of fog, and although it looked hazy, things were still visible. But today, with the fog thickening, visibility has decreased significantly, and things are basically invisible more than five meters away from the island.

Lin Zhaoyin was very careful when fishing, constantly alert to her surroundings.

A dark blue crab moved quickly, suddenly bursting out of the water and extending its pincers.

"Frog Fun!" Lin Zhaoyin jumped away the moment she saw the crab monster, successfully dodging its attack. But actually, it wouldn't have mattered much if she hadn't dodged it, because its attack was too weak.

[Dead Sea Crab, Level 2, Race: Siren, Attack 6, Defense 12, Agility 9]

Lin Zhaoyin's attributes were perfectly suited to completely suppress the crab monster, so a drama unfolded on the island where it fled while she chased, and it had no chance of escaping.

The crab monster ran away, and Lin Zhaoyin chased after it, hacking away relentlessly with her stone axe. Though slow, she still managed to kill the crab monster.

[You have killed a level 2 Dead Sea crab, gaining 20 experience points, 3 crab meat, 1 crab shell, and 1 expansion stone.]

Picking up the equipment confirmed one thing for Lin Zhaoyin: level 2 monsters do indeed drop extra items, but they're not sure what they are. It seems getting a second Tide Stone won't be easy.

Lin Zhaoyin immediately used the expansion stone, since there were more and more miscellaneous items and supplies now, and her backpack slots were really not enough.

In just one morning, Lin Zhaoyin encountered three level 2 monsters, and the next two only yielded some gold coins.

Lin Zhaoyin felt that her experience in fighting monsters was becoming richer and richer, and gradually she was no longer afraid of the appearance of these monsters. She even hoped that more level 1 and 2 monsters would come.

If she can defeat them with her current stats, she might as well fight more, gain more experience, and acquire more resources and items so that she will have a better chance of winning against stronger monsters in the future.

After retrieving the fishing net and killing two more level 1 crabs, Lin Zhaoyin put the net back, then took her fishing rod and treasure chest and returned.

Today, the amazing bonsai has produced new fruit again.

[The magical cherry increases maximum health by 50 points per cherry.]

After eating two cherries, I used the skill "Garbage Purification" to complete the replication, and then sent the replicated cherries to my sister.

After eating a banana and a small bread, Lin Zhaoyin regained 20 stamina points. Instead of continuing to work, she lay down for a nap.

Although she still had plenty of stamina, after fighting monsters all morning and needing to stay on high alert at all times, she felt completely exhausted, both physically and mentally. She wasn't in the right state to immediately continue fighting monsters and leveling up; she needed to rest for a while and adjust her condition.

After sleeping for an hour, Lin Zhaoyin felt much better. When she woke up, she happened to see a level 2 octopus monster approaching through the glass window, so she grabbed her stone axe and went to fight.

一下午林昭音只遇到了两只2级怪，但1级也陆陆续续打了不少。等收工的时候，林昭音的经验值已经到了580/900，进度条已经接近2/3了。

Lin Zhaoyin didn't encounter any monsters that came in groups in the afternoon, so her energy was full again. She then dug out some trash and started using the Trash Evolution technique.

Energy points are becoming increasingly important. Lin Zhaoyin retrieved the apple core from her sister's side and planned to continue exploiting the bug.

[The item has already been used with the Garbage Purification skill and cannot be used again. The skill is ineffective.]

Lin Zhaoyin looked at the apple core in her hand and the banana peels she had saved up, feeling frustrated. She never expected there would be a requirement not to reuse skills; it seemed finding a loophole wasn't so easy after all.

However, Lin Zhaoyin quickly came to terms with it, realizing that it was essentially a double harvest from her potted plants, which was already a very good deal.

Lin Zhaoyin told her younger sister the news, but Lin Wanyi breathed a sigh of relief. Actually, she still hoped that her older sister could use her skills on her more, and that she couldn't keep taking advantage of her sister like this.

Despite her high luck stat and abundance of good resources, her older sister has barely taken anything from her, except for food, which they share. She's still too weak; only by growing stronger quickly can she stop her sister from worrying about her so much.

Lin Zhaoyin had no idea that her younger sister was thinking about so many things. She simply felt that her sister was still young and that she should help her as much as possible while ensuring her own safety.

Since the bug-exploiting plan failed, Lin Zhaoyin found another piece of trash to try.

This is the trash I just dug out of the fishing net today. It's a thin strip of plastic, and I think it might be a part of something.

The light of a successful skill appeared, and Lin Zhaoyin quickly glanced at the item's information.

[You are my eyes, an A-grade equipment, capable of seeing through all unknown information.]

Lin Zhaoyin:......

Could this equipment description be any more hasty?
