The stove was still burning. Gu Mian wrapped herself tightly in her pajamas and sat down to warm herself by the fire. Then she opened her email and claimed her reward.

[Talent used, obtain 2 Golden Treasure Chests]

That's a steal!

For the same task, others could only get one box, but she always got two.

Even after opening the box, you can get double the supplies inside.

My talent is so overpowered!

After making a half-hearted remark, Gu Mian put the matter out of her mind and happily opened the box.

[Thermos Flask * 2]

[Vase blueprint *1]

The above supplies will be doubled.

emmm

Why is the box so unreliable this time...?

Looking at the two thermos flasks that could hold 5L of water, Gu Mian was somewhat at a loss for words.

While these are indeed useful resources, isn't it a bit too outrageous to put them in a gold treasure chest?

And the blueprints... What does she need the blueprints for the vase for?

Do you grow flowers?

Speaking of this, Gu Mian remembered that she seemed to have grown roses from a box before, but she never had a place to grow them, so they were left unused.

emmm

Now that we've produced the blueprints for the vase, can we finally put them to use?

[Vase: Requires 3 pieces of glass to make.]

She doesn't seem to have any glass... she'll have to trade for it.

Open the trading area, search for "glass," and a long list of information about trading glass will quickly pop up.

[5 glass items traded for 1 thermos]

[3 glass items traded for 1 hot water bottle]

[3 glass items traded for 1 cooked instant noodle]

...

Perfect timing! She had several thermos bottles, too many to use, so she decided to use them to exchange for glass.

[Transaction successful, received 5 Glass]

[Talent used, gain 10 Glass]

Once she got her hands on the glass, Gu Mian studied the blueprints and then opened the production panel.

[Vase: Requires 3 pieces of glass. Craft now?]

"yes."

With just enough materials to make three vases, Gu Mian decided to make them all.

The vase was a simple, transparent design, but its appearance was unexpectedly beautiful. Gu Mian fell in love with it at first sight, which greatly cheered her up.

Gu Mian placed the vase on the dining table and then took the kettle to fetch water.

When I got to the kitchen, I realized that the filtered water I had stored was almost used up.

The sea has been frozen for the past few days, so she hasn't been able to filter the seawater for a long time.

With no other option, Gu Mian took off her pajamas, put on a thick cotton-padded coat, and carried the bucket to the raft.

The sea was covered with a thick layer of ice. Gu Mian used her long knife to forcefully stab it down, and a thin, long cut appeared in the ice.

Gu Mian: ...

It's too narrow; you can't fill it with water at all.

Gu Mian drew a circle on the ice with her long sword, then inserted the sword into the ice block, lifted the ice block, and placed it on the ice layer to the side, leaving a circular notch in the original spot.

The gap wasn't large enough to directly lower the wooden bucket into the seawater, so Gu Mian went back inside to get a wooden ladle to fill with water before putting it into the bucket.

After filling a bucket with seawater, simply toss in the water purification tablets and then carry it into the kitchen.

There's a water shortage right now, and we don't have time to wait for the filter to work properly.

After the water tank was filled with clean filtered water and the seawater filter started working, Gu Mian finally had time to sit down and rest for a while.

After working for half a day, my hands were so cold they looked like carrots, red and swollen.

However, the addition of a few vases of flowers definitely makes the room feel different; it's more vibrant and full of life.

Gu Mian smiled with satisfaction, but her expression froze halfway through.

That's not right!

Doesn't she have two robots?

Why did she have to fetch water herself?

Shouldn't this job be done by a robot?

Gu Mian, who had worked hard all day for nothing, had her smile completely frozen on her face.

...

After a busy morning, I was starving.

After studying recipes for a long time, Gu Mian decided to make an omelet rice to fill her stomach.

She turned on the food processor, put in the ingredients: 1 egg, 1 sauce, and 2 50g rice, pressed the start button, and a minute later she had a serving of omelet rice.

[Omelette Rice: Increases satiety by 30 points and restores 1.5 health per second for 6 minutes.]

After eating and drinking her fill, Gu Mian opened the food processor and put in 4 x 100g pork, 2 x mushrooms, and 2 x 100g rice.

I made two servings of braised pork and mushroom rice and sent them to Xu Kun and Jiang Bai respectively, as a return gift for the pork and barbecue I had previously served.

[Braised Pork and Mushroom Rice: Increases satiety by 30 points and restores 10 health per second for 6 minutes.]

This food is actually just average in terms of stats; its only advantage is that it takes a long time to restore health.

But after checking the attributes, Xu Kun was so excited he almost went crazy.

Xu Kun: "Good, good, good, as expected of my good sister, you always think of me when you have something good!"

Xu Kun: "Do I even deserve to eat such an outrageous health-restoring food?"

Xu Kun: "Tears of emotion streamed down my face!"

Xu Kun: "I'm going to run a dungeon!"

Xu Kun: "Immediately!"

Xu Kun: "Right away!"

Gu Mian: "..."

This is too outrageous!

It can't be that bad, it really can't be that bad...

Gu Mian was just trying to calm him down, as he was acting like he had no sense of propriety, when Jiang Bai sent another private message.

Jiang Bai: "Do you still have any of these foods with special properties? I want to buy a few more to stock up."

Gu Mian answered honestly, "I can make it on the spot, but I don't want ordinary supplies."

Jiang Bai: "[Heartwarming patch] How about I trade you this for one?"
