"Boss Xing, since you're not interested in joining the Wan Jing Chamber of Commerce, would you be interested in doing some business with us?"

“You trade your iron furnace to the Wan Jing Chamber of Commerce, and they will handle the transaction for you. We will split the profits 20/80.”

"Wanjing Chamber of Commerce, number two; Star Boss, number eight. How about that?"

Shen Zhiyi raised an eyebrow. Was there something wrong with this Wanjing Chamber of Commerce? It kept changing its mind.

However, Shen Zhiyi was right; the leader of the Wanjing Chamber of Commerce did indeed occasionally suffer from illness.

However, she had no intention of making any deals with the Wanjing Chamber of Commerce and simply read the message without replying.

A certain nebula.

"Brother, why doesn't she reply to me?" A boy stared at the screen, waiting for Shen Zhiyi's reply.

After waiting for a long time without a reply, the boy spoke again: "Brother, do you think Sister Shen is angry? Why is she angry?"

"Did you make your sister angry? Otherwise, why isn't she replying to my messages?"

"I miss my sister so much. When can I see her again?"

But the boy remained unresponsive.

......

Speaking of which, Shen Zhiyi hasn't yet checked her email to receive the system reward supplies.

I first received the supplies via email and then started checking them one by one.

[Blueprint*1, Crafting Materials*1, Winter Gift Pack*1]

[Heated brick bed: This is one of the supplies commonly used in northern Blue Star to withstand winter. With it, your winter will be much more comfortable. Materials needed: 100 bricks, 30 cement, 30 adhesive. Crafting time: 1 hour.]

(Never mind! We know that more materials are needed in reality than this, but this is for StarCraft babies, so feel free to take a look.)

The crafting materials inside have also been sent to you via email.

There's also a winter gift pack.

When Shen Zhiyi opened it, she found that it contained things that could be used in winter.

She has everything from frostbite cream to hand warmers, but there aren't many available, and they run out quickly for her.

Shen Zhiyi thought for a moment, hesitating whether she should build a heated kang (a traditional Chinese bed-stove). However, her current wooden cabin was made of wood, and she didn't know if it could withstand such a construction.

If a heated kang (a traditional heated brick bed) is to be built, the bed's position will also need to be moved, and the table and other items will need to be rearranged.

The area is still too small.

Although Shen Zhiyi hesitated, she still decided to make a heated kang (a traditional heated brick bed), otherwise she would freeze to death from the extreme cold.

But she didn't start making it right away. It was late, so she decided to rest first.

The next day, as soon as Shen Zhiyi got up, she put away the original bed, table, and other furniture.

Start making the heated kang (a traditional heated brick bed).

It would take a long time. Shen Zhiyi grabbed some food to fill her stomach. With five nebula fragments left, she directly expanded the nebula by one square meter.

The bathroom capsule was already completed, and Shen Zhiyi placed it directly on the extra nebula.

She still has a lot of cotton left, and plans to make more cotton-padded clothes and other items in case of emergency.

Ten cotton-padded coats were made at once, and Shen Zhiyi received them in just ten minutes.

The cotton-padded coat was a long one, long enough to cover Shen Zhiyi's ankles, given her height.

I tried them on and they're great. They're very warm and the size is just right.

After putting away the cotton-padded coat, Shen Zhiyi continued making a warm hat.

Five portions of materials were put in, and after a short while, Shen Zhiyi received a warm hat. It was white, not very heavy, but surprisingly warm.

At this moment, Shen Zhiyi seemed to remember something.

Could she add some materials or something? Maybe the insulation effect would be even better.

But what should we add?

I rummaged through my backpack and found a few feathers.

Shen Zhiyi decided to join and give it a try.

I put a set of materials for a warm hat into the crafting table and added three feathers.

Five minutes later, Shen Zhiyi received another thermal hat, and she was pleasantly surprised to find that the thermal hat seemed to be a little thicker.

He took another set of cotton-padded clothing materials and added five feathers to it.

Shen Zhiyi waited on the side, eager to see what the cotton coat with feathers would look like.

When she finally received it, the cotton-padded coat did not disappoint her.

The cotton-padded coat was thicker than before, and there was even an extra pair of gloves attached to the cuffs!

There are four feathers left, and Shen Zhiyi doesn't plan to use them now.

Out of the corner of my eye, I suddenly saw a line of small print on the workbench.

[Because the host has discovered new materials for crafting cotton-padded coats and warm hats, the crafting station will offer a discount. From now on, when crafting cotton-padded coats and other winter clothing, the host will only need to use three-quarters of the original materials.]

Wow~ There's such a good thing.

Putting that aside for now, Shen Zhiyi opened today's lucky wheel.

[Lucky Spin: Hot water bottle*1, Hand cream*1, Chilblain cream*1, Thank you for your patronage*2, One more time*1, Thermos bottle*1, System-specific scarf*1, Five sets of plush socks*1, Thermal underwear (set)*1]

There were some small items inside, all of which were in the winter gift pack given by the system. What Shen Zhiyi wanted was the special scarf from the system. She was a little curious about what the items produced by the system would be like.

Then, when Shen Zhiyi received it, she was pleasantly surprised.

The items produced by the system were indeed of much higher quality than those they made themselves.

"Awooo!" Zookeeper! Food!

The dried fish darted out of the cabin and tugged at Shen Zhiyi's trouser leg.

"Aww, aww, aww!" Little Lightning ate too!

Speaking of Little Lightning, Shen Zhiyi suddenly remembered that Little Lightning hadn't left all day and seemed to have been following Black Wolf the whole time.

"Okay, go and call them over." Shen Zhiyi took out four catties of animal feed from her backpack, and the black wolf had an extra catty of meat, which it had caught earlier.

The little dried fish didn't like to eat animal food, and stared at Shen Zhiyi with its round eyes wide open.

Shen Zhiyi immediately understood what it meant. After thinking for a moment, she took some chili peppers and mixed them into the animal feed.

Little Lightning leaned over to smell it, lowered its head to try it, and then started showing off its food.

......

Within three days, Shen Zhiyi obtained a considerable amount of supplies from the star beasts.

Her iron furnaces sold well in the trading area. Although some people from the Wanjing Chamber of Commerce were targeting her openly or secretly, Shen Zhiyi didn't care.

The system did not specify the exact time when the extreme cold would arrive, but Shen Zhiyi had already prepared everything.

We also made some dumplings and some pancakes.

To avoid the food getting too cold quickly when it's too cold.

In addition, Shen Zhiyi upgraded the cabin; it shouldn't be called a cabin anymore, it should be called a stone cabin, and the area has also been expanded.

She also added a partition wall to separate the cooking area from the heated brick bed, and plans to make it bigger when conditions allow.
