"Now I finally understand why some people are getting richer and richer while we are getting poorer. We're not as ruthless as them!"
"That's right. We are all Chinese, and we have a lot of supplies in our hands, but we don't have any sympathy for our compatriots."
"I worked so hard to get this, why should I give it to you ungrateful little brats!"
For a time, the regional channels were filled with voices of condemnation.
Until a player sent a message anonymously.
"Players with water-repelling beads can go to the sea more often. The seabed is rich in resources, including many minerals, such as coal. Once you find a coal mine, you won't have to worry about anything!"
Are there coal mines on the seabed?
"That's right, there are many mineral resources on the seabed in modern times, so there's no reason why there shouldn't be any here!"
... ...
Just then, the entire regional channel suddenly became incredibly lively, with players discussing it enthusiastically.
Jiang An noticed that many advertisements for selling coal at high prices appeared among them.
"It seems that some players have also discovered coal mines underwater," Jiang An thought to himself.
She couldn't help but admire the business acumen of these players.
As an ordinary person from modern society, she felt she couldn't compare to these players.
However, she was not discouraged. Instead, she had a flash of inspiration and came up with an idea.
If other players can advertise, why can't she?
She also advertises.
She had just discovered a large mine on the seabed, and now her backpack was full of coal.
We are more than capable of weathering this severe cold and natural disaster.
However, heating items like coal and wood can only fetch high prices during this severe natural disaster. They might not be worth much during other natural disasters. Therefore, she decided to sell some of her heating items at a high price to exchange for some special items that could improve her own strength.
After all, improving one's own strength is the most fundamental thing.
As time went by, more and more private messages appeared on her screen.
They all brought some relatively niche items with them.
Jiang An picked and chose, exchanging some wood blocks and coal with some players who brought out items that interested her.
"Anmeizi, you've discovered coal mines underwater too?"
A message suddenly popped up in my friend's private message. When I opened it, I saw it was from Tian Qing, whom I hadn't contacted in a long time.
Jiang An: "Yes, Sister Qing, we were lucky enough to discover a small coal mine while exploring the seabed. We have extra coal, so we'll trade it while the price is high."
Tian Qing: "I also found one today, but unfortunately there wasn't much, just enough for my own use. After upgrading to level 5, just as you said, sailing is too fuel-intensive. But I don't regret it. Upgrading to level 5 was inevitable, otherwise I wouldn't have found a coal mine on the seabed today."
Jiang An: "Yes, Sister Qing, the resources on each part of the seabed are different. If you want to obtain more resources, you can only make the ship sail."
----
Day 7 of severe cold.
It's snowing again on this new day.
After Jiang An got up, she saw heavy snow falling outside.
The whole world was covered in snow, a vast expanse of white, like an ice and snow kingdom from a fairy tale.
She slept exceptionally well last night, without encountering any attacks from sea creatures, and slept soundly until dawn.
She put on thick clothes, opened the cabin door, and went out onto the deck. She was shivering from the cold; sure enough, the temperature had dropped again.
Reaching the bow of the ship, we looked at the thick ice covering the sea.
She fell into deep thought. Sure enough, it had frozen over. It seemed that the reason for last night's peace had been found. It was simple: the ice was too thick and the weather was too cold, so the sea creatures had all stayed on the seabed and had not come ashore.
This left Jiang An feeling extremely helpless and annoyed.
She went directly to the ice surface, a thick layer, and Jiang An stood on it without worrying about falling into the ice hole.
But the freezing brought her not joy, but endless troubles.
Because of the ice on the sea, it was undoubtedly a great difficulty for steamships to navigate.
Just then, "Ding!" The light screen in Jiang An's hand suddenly rang.
She opened it and saw that it was a message from He Zhizhou.
"The sea is frozen over. How are you going to complete today's mission? I have an item here that can help. Do you want it?"
He Zhizhou finally collected enough materials to upgrade to level 5. Although Jiang An told him that he would have to sail 300 kilometers every day after upgrading to level 5, he chose to upgrade without hesitation.
He understood that upgrading to level 5 was inevitable, and only by upgrading could he explore the ocean more deeply, where the resources were undoubtedly abundant.
He dislikes hesitation and retreat, and instead takes decisive action.
When Jiang An saw the message from He Zhizhou, he couldn't help but feel delighted.
She quickly replied, "Of course, what is it?"
She hoped that this item would help her get out of her current predicament.
He Zhizhou replied, "An icebreaker is a disposable item that can continuously break ice for 100 kilometers."
Jiang An was quite surprised when she saw this answer.
She never expected that the unlucky He Zhizhou would actually be able to obtain such a useful tool—an icebreaker.
This is truly unprecedented.
With this blueprint, she was convinced that He Zhizhou would make a fortune from this severe natural disaster.
Jiang An asked directly, "These are the blueprints you found in the box? I want them. What's the price?"
Instead of offering a price, He Zhizhou asked Jiang An another question: "What kind of medicine are you making by collecting ginseng in the trading channel?"
When Jiang An saw the private message sent by He Zhizhou, her face stiffened. She thought to herself, "What keen observation skills! She was just collecting information extensively in the regional and trading channels. I didn't expect He Zhizhou to notice her."
However, since the other party already knew, there was no need to hide it. She simply told them the truth, since the Purple Gold Pill was going to be sold at a high price anyway.
So she replied, "I can make a medicine called Zijin Pill, which can treat external injuries. It's better than Jin Chuang Medicine, and it can treat fractures, but I don't know the specific effects. If you want one, I can spare one for you! But the price..."
In fact, Jiang An was still a little worried that she had said too much, after all, she was not sure if He Zhizhou would raise the price because of it.
However, He Zhizhou's icebreaker was far too important to her; it was something she absolutely had to get.
Without icebreakers, her ship cannot sail at all. If the ship cannot sail, how can she complete her mission?
