Yan Zi had just finished several transactions when she noticed that something was amiss outside the shelter.

The ripples on the water are a bit abnormal!

Although she deployed a lot of protective items, they were ultimately disposable and their defensive effect was definitely insufficient.

She immediately categorized all the props on the ground and put them into the safe, then opened the regional channel without hesitation to search for information.

From their few words, it was clear that a fierce storm had begun to rage outside.

Many people had their houses blown away by the strong winds. Yan Zi checked and found that her stock of protective clothing was almost sold out.

Many people are also tagging her frantically, trying to negotiate the price...

"Why buy it now and then, only when you've already lost your home? Sigh!"

Yan Zi simply sighed softly, glanced at the finished [Protective Clothing], [Lightning Shield], [Guardian Shield], etc., and promptly put them all into her backpack. She took some for herself and put two-thirds of them on the trading website, setting the prices quite reasonable.

Hopefully, some more people can stay.

After taking care of these matters, she climbed into bed. She put all the movable items in the room into the safe, ensuring the safety of the shelter.

Yan Zi lay down on the bed and tightly bound herself with the beast tendon chain she had made. Then she doubled the number of fruits in her backpack.

Using the talent, the dice spun, the number landed on eight, and 240 fruits instantly appeared in the backpack.

Without hesitation, Yan Zi took out all 30 fruits and ate them, raising all her points to 20.

The extent of the increase in strength and speed is still unknown, but the increase in spirit to 20 points has indeed made me much stronger, reduced the fatigue of the past few days, and even fully restored the energy I had been expending while crafting those items.

I briefly felt the changes in my body and felt incredibly comfortable.

She pulled out skill upgrade tickets from her backpack, and obtained a total of seven by doubling the value. She sold three of them and got three item upgrade tickets and three basic items.

As soon as the item upgrade voucher was in her hands, she immediately doubled it, used her talent, and the dice spun, the number landing on six.

Item upgrade tickets can only upgrade F-grade items to E-grade.

She directly took out three F-grade items that she might need and upgraded them.

[Speed-up wristband] [Protective clothing] [Water reservoir]

After upgrading the three items, their levels all increased, and their quality doubled compared to before!

She breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at her personal panel to check her skill attributes.

Name: Yan Zi (from the Dragon Kingdom)

[Status: 90/100 (Good condition, excited)]

[Level: Lv7 (A complete newbie)]

[Experience: 9000 / (You know the shortcuts when it comes to water storage)]

[ID: Blue Star Zone 1 6666]

Age: 22

Strength: 20, Speed: 20, Spirit: 20

[Talent: Double Resources (S)]

[Skill: Plant Spirit (F)] Lv2 (240/500)

【Skill: Conceal Your Strength and Keep a Low Profile (F)】Lv1 (70/100)

【Skill: Miracles Happen with Great Force (F)】Lv1 (90/100)

[Skill: Anti-Air Hand (E)] Lv2 (70/500)

Yan Zi checked her skill status and used a skill upgrade ticket on "Grass and Tree Spirit" to raise its level to E.

He then used two skill upgrade tickets for "Hide Your Light and Keep a Low Profile" and "Great Strength Creates Miracles," instantly raising their levels to E.

She currently has one skill upgrade voucher left.

Many people were still leaving comments under her inventory on the channel, but she didn't continue trading because the winds outside were getting stronger...

There's a sign that a storm is brewing!

Yan Zi waited and waited in her shelter, feeling uneasy, yet nothing had actually happened...

"Something's not right. If there really wasn't anything wrong, the system wouldn't have used such a strange tone this morning!"

Just as she was staring at the content on the channel, completely baffled, a tearing and cracking sound suddenly came from around her.

Her expression instantly turned serious...

The shelter was now showing signs of violent shaking, and Yan Zi wouldn't be in such a relaxed state if she hadn't leveled up all her stats to 20.

I'm afraid I'll have to stay up all night again!

After experiencing the storm for a while and finding that it didn't affect her much, Yan Zi checked her shelter's status. To her horror, she saw that her shelter's durability was dropping rapidly.

Damage to the Grape Special Refuge: 30/100

"Good heavens, is my shelter going to fall apart so quickly?"

Yan Zi was completely numb. She raised her hand and pressed on the damage status, where a new pop-up window appeared, allowing her to repair it.

Without hesitation, she clicked "Repair" immediately; she didn't want anything to happen to her special sanctuary.

But on this point, she almost went crazy?

A single basic crystal can only restore 10 points of durability...

Yan Zi felt a chill run down her spine and quickly opened her backpack to check her crystal storage.

There should have been several hundred...

She used it to make equipment, spending two-thirds of it!

Now, there are only two hundred left...

"..."

Yan Zi felt a chill run down her spine, and her durability was dropping rapidly. She gritted her teeth and forced herself to stay upright, then ran to the world channel to find Phils.

"Fils, I'm in dire need of help. Do you have any crystals left?"

After sending that message, Yan Zi decisively went to find other people who were also selling large quantities of crystals...

What gave her the creeps was that nearly half of these people had stopped selling crystals!

"What's going on? Could it be that they've encountered the same thing as me?"

Yan Zi felt increasingly panicked as she thought about it, her hands clenching involuntarily. She then got up and put on the lightning shield, followed by a protective suit.

She walked to the forging table, opened the forging guide, and searched for items that would allow her to move freely in water and lightning.

She searched for a long time and finally found only a waterproof mask, which was only waterproof!

Yan Zi sighed and, having no other choice, made ten of them. Putting everything else aside, as long as they were useful, that was fine!

As for protective clothing, she kept several for herself.

Just as she was getting anxious, Fils sent back a message:

She immediately opened the message.

Fels: "My dear friend from the Dragon Kingdom, I have already traded all my crystals to you. It's windy and rainy outside right now, and I really dare not go out. I will go and help you find them when the rain stops tomorrow!"

Yan Zi felt like the sky had fallen. My dear brother, he actually ran out of crystals!

"Thank you, Phils, have a good night!"

Phils: "Thank you, take care, good night."

"Good night!"

Yan Zi replied listlessly and then left.

She searched the entire world channel for ages, and finally only found 20...

She now owns a total of 220 chips.

Yan Zi laid out all the crystals together and then used her last talent of the day!

The talent was used, the dice were rolled, and after the numbers flipped several times, they stopped at five!

1100 were obtained.

Currently, the shelter's durability has dropped to 10/100...

Yan Zi didn't hesitate to throw in the crystals to continue filling it...
