Still no one paid attention to her. Wang Xuanyi muttered a few words to herself, but she couldn't hold back any longer and disappeared.

The temperature was normal tonight, still in the thirties until Gu Mian went to bed. She continued to use an ice bucket to cool down the room because of the heat.

When Gu Mian woke up, she was covered in sweat, and her clothes felt sticky and uncomfortable against her body.

I took out two more ice buckets and then took a shower, which made me feel a bit better.

"This game is so unpredictable. The temperature was so low the night before last that it could freeze you to death, and the temperature has been so high these past two days that it can kill you from the heat."

"Who can argue with that? How can the body withstand such extreme temperature fluctuations?"

"I just used most of my supplies to exchange for cotton quilts the day before yesterday, and they were used up in one night. I'm speechless."

"Something is better than nothing. If it suddenly gets colder tonight, you'll regret not having a blanket."

"Haha, you're right!"

Wang Xuanyi: "[Double skin milk] Look at my breakfast today, it just came out of the box, it tastes so refreshing and cool."

Seeing this person annoyed her, Gu Mian turned off the chat channel and went to the kitchen.

It's too hot, let's eat something cool.

Put honey, milk, and pudding into a food processor, and you'll get a milk pudding in five minutes.

[Milk pudding: Consuming it can lower body temperature by 15 degrees Celsius, lasting for 3 minutes.]

The milk pudding tasted cool and refreshing, with a rich milky flavor. Gu Mian couldn't stop eating it after just one bite.

After finishing one serving, I was still licking my lips with lingering satisfaction, and the heat in my body completely disappeared. It was truly a wonderful dish.

She checked the inventory and found she had 10 portions of honey left, enough to make 5 portions of milk pudding.

Turn on the food processor, put in the ingredients, and continue cooking.

There were only 5 servings of milk pudding, so Gu Mian simply kept them for herself.

...

By noon, the temperature was rising, so Gu Mian took out 10 ice buckets and placed them in various corners of the living room to keep the room at a comfortable temperature.

The mini ice maker had run out of durability and automatically disintegrated without dropping any materials.

Thankfully, she managed to get the large ice machine working again; otherwise, the heat would have been unbearable.

After taking a sip of cola with ice, Gu Mian lazily lay back in the rocking chair.

[Raft attacked, durability -10]

[Raft attacked, durability -10]

[Raft attacked, durability -10]

!!

Just as she lay down, she heard a system notification that the raft was under attack. Gu Mian quickly got up and went out to check the situation.

A black shark was gaping and gnawing at her raft.

How did that damn shark reappear?

Gu Mian didn't dare get too close, so she took out her long whip with the longest attack range and swung it at the shark's head from a distance.

[Health -20]

[Health -20]

...

Each lash reduces the shark's health by 20, which is negligible compared to the long health bar on the shark's head.

"What level is this shark monster?"

Gu Mian whipped the shark so hard she could barely lift her arm, but the shark's health bar had only dropped by one-fifth.

And her raft had more than a dozen pieces chewed up!

Gu Mian gritted her teeth and continued to patiently whittle down the shark's health bar. After a long time, she finally reduced the shark's health bar to two-fifths.

Before they could even rejoice, the shark monster suddenly rolled over and sank into the sea, escaping.

Gu Mian: ...

This shark monster is disgusting. It runs away when you've whittled it down to low health. You can't just ignore it. Sooner or later, she'll have to find a way to kill it.

Having failed to kill the shark monster and lost thirty-five rafts, Gu Mian was furious.

Before he could vent his anger, he heard rustling sounds coming from behind the wooden house. Without thinking twice, he grabbed his whip and went over.

"Who goes there? Stop landing on my raft immediately, or I'll get rough with you!"

A dark-skinned man, around forty years old, with a sleazy appearance, was trying to climb from his raft onto Gu Mian's raft.

Having been discovered, a flicker of panic crossed the man's eyes. "I didn't mean anything by it. I just wanted to say hello to you since it's the first time I've seen someone like you."

The man looked up and realized that the person who had warned him was just a young and pretty girl, and he immediately felt embarrassed and annoyed.

His eyes leered as he looked Gu Mian up and down, a malicious smirk playing on his lips: "Little sister, are you the only one on this raft?"

Gu Mian was disgusted and coldly lashed out with her whip, "If you don't take it away, I really won't be polite."

The man chuckled, completely unconcerned, and lifted his foot to step onto Gu Mian's raft. "Little sister, you're so pretty, how come you have such a bad temper? Let your brother teach you how to speak properly."

Holy crap! This idiot!

Who the hell can tolerate this?!

Without wasting any more words, Gu Mian lashed the man's mouth with her whip and kicked him in the groin at the same time.

The man cried out in pain and fell back onto his raft.

The man curled up and rolled around, howling in pain, sometimes covering his mouth, sometimes his lower body.

He was still cursing and swearing: "You filthy bitch, how dare you lay a hand on me! I'll fuck you to death today!"

Stupid!

Gu Mian lashed out with her whip, striking the man's mouth repeatedly.

With such a dirty mouth, you might as well not have it at all.

The whip has an attack power of 30, while the man's health bar is only 100. After being whipped a few times, he became completely silent.

Trash, with this kind of strength you dare to provoke others?

After venting her anger, Gu Mian's temper had mostly subsided, and she took a look at the man's raft.

It looked to be a few dozen square meters, with only a primary seawater filter, a brazier, and a few dirty clothes piled together.

You poor bastard!

With such meager supplies, Gu Mian was too lazy to waste time scavenging them. She simply kicked his raft away, sending the idiot and his raft far away from her.

After dealing with the uninvited guests, Gu Mian began building a raft to patch up the gaps that the sharks had chewed into.

Making a raft requires 10 pieces of wood and 10 nails. The shark monster gnawed away at a total of 35 of her rafts, and even destroyed five resource networks.

To fill the gap, she needs 350 sets of wood and nails. She doesn't have enough wood right now, so she has to go to the trading area to collect some.

Fortunately, wood and nails are basic resources, and people list them in large quantities every day in the trading area. Moreover, the prices are very cheap, and you can exchange them for a lot by simply giving them some food.

They gathered all the materials needed to build the raft and resource net using only 5 ice creams and 12 cream cakes.

Once the materials were gathered, Gu Mian began to build the raft, filling in the gaps piece by piece.

In no time, the raft was completely filled in, and 10 resource nets were added to the outside of the raft.

After dealing with the raft, Gu Mian suddenly remembered that her watermelons should be ripe, so she quickly ran to the back of the cabin to check.

[Watermelon: Ripe, shall we harvest it?]

"yes."

[Gathering complete. 20 watermelons obtained, now in your inventory.]
