She was anxiously searching for an important item, her face filled with anticipation and nervousness.

Finally, she found a key in a corner.

She gripped the keys tightly, her eyes gleaming with excitement.

"Come on, little turtle, let's open the box and see what good things are inside!" she said excitedly to the little turtle.

The little turtle was also very excited. It chirped happily a few times and followed closely behind Jiang An.

Sitting on the sofa with my little turtle.

Jiang An took a deep breath, took out the small locked box from his storage ring, and carefully placed it on the wooden table.

She gripped the old, exquisite key tightly, her gaze fixed on the lock cylinder, silently praying that it would fit perfectly into the keyhole.

Sure enough, when she inserted the key into the lock cylinder, the two fit together tightly without any gaps.

She gently turned the key, and a crisp "click" sound reached her ears, as if the lock of fate had been unlocked.

Jiang An's heart began to race.

She eagerly opened the box, her eyes fixed on the contents inside.

Three items lay quietly inside, radiating a mysterious light.

[Attribute Stone, Ever-Changing Flowing Fairy Dress, Air Conditioner Blueprint]

Jiang An picked up the smooth, mirror-like pebble and examined it carefully.

[Attribute Stone: After use, you can choose one attribute to increase by 10 points!]

If it weren't for the explicit description in the dictionary, she would have found it hard to imagine that this seemingly ordinary little stone could possess such magical effects.

"Use it!" she whispered, and the system notification sounded.

[Ding! Player, please select your attribute: Intelligence, Stamina, Agility, or Luck?]

Jiang An stared wide-eyed at the words in front of him.

She would be letting down this attribute stone if she hesitated for even a second.

She stated firmly, "Choose luck!"

She had already witnessed the benefits of high luck, so now that there was something to increase luck, she would naturally choose it.

[Ding! Selection successful. Luck value increased by 10. Current luck value is 20/10]

"Hahaha, it's doubled!" Jiang An exclaimed excitedly, waving his arms and legs.

【Ever-Changing Fairy Dress: Allows for free changes in style and color after wearing; dustproof and waterproof; defense +75】

This dress is just as good as the one from the previous auction.

Jiang An immediately changed into the dress, and with a thought, the dress instantly transformed into the style and color she desired.

One, two, Jiang An enthusiastically came up with several variations.

In the end, I chose a set of sportswear that allowed me the most freedom of movement.

"study!"

[Ding! Learning successful! Materials needed for air conditioner: 2 electronic components, 5 iron, 1 copper]

The air conditioner blueprint in her hand vanished in an instant.

Jiang An was very curious as to why such an ordinary blueprint would be found inside this treasure chest.

"Air conditioner, air conditioner, it's getting cold! It's hot!!!" Jiang An muttered to himself.

Suddenly, something occurred to her.

"Hot! Could the next natural disaster be extreme heat? If it is extreme heat, then isn't this air conditioner a lifesaver?" The more Jiang An thought about it, the more likely it seemed. After the severe cold, extreme heat would follow without any problem.

[Ding! Iron essence detected. Decompose?]

"yes!"

[Disassembly successful! Obtained: Iron Essence *2]

Jiang An finally understood what the metal box was made of: it was iron essence, and iron essence was the basic material for upgrading to level 7.

She only has two right now, and she's still a long way from collecting them all.

This small, locked box brought her a great deal of treasure.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang An took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and then took out the sealed box from his storage ring.

Upon opening the box, I found a yellowed diary inside.

Jiang An picked up the diary and gently turned to the first page. There, written in hasty handwriting, was the following: "My name is Mandelina, I come from the Golden Origin Star. This is my first day in this world..."

Her heart raced; this diary might reveal some secrets about the world.

As Jiang An read on, her expression grew increasingly grim.

It turns out that this player named Mandelina is not from Earth at all, but comes from a planet called Jinyuan Star.

From her few words, Jiang An discovered that Mandelina's planet was also in the Milky Way, but he didn't know how far away it was from Earth.

This gave Jiang An a jolt. Could it be that there was some kind of connection between his Earth and Mandelina's Golden Source Star?

Why would people from two different planets in the same galaxy be brought to this place by this sea survival game?

As Jiang An continued reading, he discovered that Mandelina's diary recorded all the things she had experienced in this world.

This includes the natural disasters she encountered and how she dealt with them, as well as some of the creatures she met.

However, due to the very limited information in the diary, Jiang An could only learn that the first natural disaster she encountered was severe cold, just like theirs; while the second natural disaster was extreme heat.

According to the diary, the extreme heat was not in the ocean, but in the desert, where temperatures reached 80 degrees Celsius and were accompanied by drought that lasted for two whole months.

Jiang An now understood the purpose of the water storage device: to cope with the impending drought.

The extent of water scarcity in the desert is unimaginable.

Unless an oasis is found.

However, there are too many monks and not enough meat.

This player obtained the water storage device on the last day, but unfortunately, due to time constraints, it only stored seawater from ① gourds.

But it was this seawater in the gourd that allowed her to survive, albeit with great difficulty.

Seeing this, Jiang An silently took out the water storage device she had obtained from the sunken ship from her storage ring.

After checking, it works perfectly.

Continuing on, she also mentioned a third natural disaster, but the diary did not specify what it was; she only noticed that the handwriting was becoming increasingly blurry and illegible.

"Help! Can I survive? It seems not!"

"I can't hold on any longer..."

This is the last sentence in the diary; after that, it's completely empty, not a single word remains.

Jiang An didn't know if the player had died in a natural disaster or simply lost the will to write in their diary.

Although this diary did not completely unravel the mysteries of this world, it at least gave Jiang An a clue—the Golden Star.

The players from Jinyuanxing were not the first to arrive here, nor will they be the last.

As for where the surviving players went, or whether none of them survived?

Jiang An discovered that the more he learned, the more mysteries emerged.
