"I wonder if, with such a significant increase in strength, I'll be able to cut down a tree in one go?"

Gu Mian muttered to herself as she walked to a coconut tree with an axe in hand.

Aim, gather your strength, and chop down with the axe; the coconut tree vanishes instantly.

[Received 10 pieces of wood and 6 pieces of coconut.]

[Talent Use: Gain 20 Wood and 12 Coconuts.]

Gu Mian stared in shock, her mouth agape. She had actually chopped the tree down with an axe.

The feeling of being able to relieve stress was so good that Gu Mian became addicted and chopped down trees with great enthusiasm.

[Gained 11 pieces of wood and 3 coconuts.]

[Gained 13 pieces of wood and 5 pieces of coconut.]

...

[Your inventory is full and you cannot add any more items.]

Hearing the system notification, Gu Mian managed to suppress her excitement.

At this point, the backpack was already filled with more than a dozen compartments of wood and coconuts.

While cutting down trees, Gu Mian got carried away, but after finishing and looking at all the supplies, she felt a bit bald.

She'd be eating hundreds of coconuts by herself in a million years; she should just take them out and exchange them for supplies.

297 coconuts were put on the shelves, and each coconut could be exchanged for 2 iron nails, instantly freeing up 3 slots in my backpack.

When I was listing the items, I saw that my private messages were flooded with messages, but I didn't have time to deal with them, so I just ignored them.

Looking at her status, Gu Mian's satiety level had dropped to 35. Startled, she quickly ate two pieces of grilled fish and an apple to bring her satiety level back up to 85.

There were still three hours until it was time to land on the island, but the sky was already starting to darken.

Exploring the island after dark is too dangerous, so Gu Mian decided to explore other places while it was still light.

At the junction of the beach and the forest, which stretched as far as the eye could see, a large, bright orange pumpkin was hidden behind the trees as soon as you entered.

[A ripe pumpkin has been found. Should it be harvested?]

"yes."

[Obtained 2 pumpkins.]

[Talent Use: Gain 4 Pumpkins.]

After harvesting the pumpkins, we continued walking further in.

Stepping on the fallen leaves, they made a soft, crunching sound. Occasionally, looking up, you could see squirrels with fiery red tails leaping through the forest.

"So cute..." Before she could finish her exclamation, a pine cone hit Gu Mian on the head, instantly leaving a small red dot on her fair forehead.

"Squeak, squeak." The squirrel hugged its tail and squatted on the branch, making a mocking sound.

"Damn it, it's not cute at all!" Gu Mian picked up a stone from the ground and threw it hard at the squirrel.

"Squeak, squeak." The squirrel was startled and jumped away.

Ignoring this minor incident, Gu Mian continued searching for food in the woods.

[If ripe peaches are found, should they be harvested?]

"yes."

[Received 20 peaches.]

[Talent Use: Obtain 40 Peaches.]

There's still one empty backpack slot left; let's continue exploring.

Gu Mian searched for a long time but couldn't find anything to eat, and it was getting dark.

With two hours left to explore the island, Gu Mian suddenly felt a little uneasy. She made a simple fire with wood and dry leaves, lit it, and cautiously remained where she was.

It seemed like only a moment had passed; the sky, which had been slightly whitish, was now completely black.

[Night falls: The polluters are about to appear; firelight may be able to drive them away.]

Gu Mian felt a chill run down her spine; her uneasy premonition had come true.

Soon, two polluters appeared in the distance.

The polluters howled, trying to attack Gu Mian, but dared not approach because they were afraid of the firelight.

Gu Mian had an idea. She took out a piece of burning wood and swung it at the polluter. The polluter immediately recoiled in fear.

However, the firelight still stung my skin.

[Health -20]

Just being burned by fire reduced my health by 20?

Gu Mian's eyes lit up, and she grabbed the timber and chased after them.

[You have killed a Corruptor and obtained 1 Purification Potion.]

[Talent Use: Gain 2 Purification Potions.]

Looking at the last remaining polluter, Gu Mian couldn't help but let out a strange, cacophony laugh.

Soon, the system notification sounded again.

[You have killed a Corruptor and obtained 1 Purification Potion.]

[Talent Use: Gain 2 Purification Potions.]

Unexpectedly, the island at night was used to apply purification agents; as long as there was fire, the polluters had absolutely no way to deal with it.

Standing by the fire, Gu Mian eagerly awaited the system to spawn a few more Corruptors for her.

Gu Mian waited and waited, until the exploration time ended, but the third polluter did not appear.

Disappointed, I returned to the raft, where a wave of heat instantly engulfed my entire body.

Gu Mian hurriedly ran back to the wooden house, took out four cooling patches and put them on her body. Feeling her body temperature drop, she quickly took out an ice bucket and turned on the electric fan to cool the room down.

It was already dark on the island, but it was only 1 p.m. at sea, which puzzled Gu Mian.

Are these two places not in the same space?

The ice melted into water at an extremely fast speed. Gu Mian quickly took out 10 more ice buckets and blew on them for five or six minutes until the temperature in the room gradually dropped to a level that was acceptable to the human body.

Gu Mian winced in distress: "The ice is being used up too fast." One ice bucket contained 50 ice cubes, and now 500 ice cubes have been used up in one go. It's really too extravagant.

Keep in mind that a small ice maker can only produce 6 ice blocks per hour, and it also consumes 5 durability points for every hour it works.

Even if you work non-stop for 12 hours, you can only make 70 ice blocks.

Gu Mian felt a pang of sympathy. Fortunately, her talent was to double the resources; otherwise, even if she could barely survive, her quality of life would definitely be terrible.
