Chapter 103 Digging for Ice



Although Jiang Bai didn't ask, Gu Mian still took the initiative to tell him.

"I issued a few island access cards before, and today I had nothing to do so I came up to the island to take a look, but it turns out the island is covered in snow!"

I was completely unprepared wearing a tank top and shorts. If I hadn't had a spare down jacket in my backpack, I probably would have frozen to death if I had stayed here for a few hours dressed so lightly!

This system is a piece of junk, full of traps!

Xu Kun: "What? You actually came to the island all by yourself without inviting us?"

Gu Mian: "...Is this the point? My island access card only allows one person to enter the island at a time. If you want to come, I'll invite you using a team card."

Xu Kun: "Go!"

After saying that, he immediately sent a team-up card to the group chat.

Jiang Bai: "Yeah, I'll go take a look too."

Then, another team-up card was sent to the group.

Gu Mian: "...Okay."

[Claim Team Card *2]

[Talent used, gain 4 Team Cards]

After receiving the team cards, Gu Mian asked, "Is the hot water ready? Also, remember to wear down jackets and winter coats before you come, or don't blame me for not reminding you."

Jiang Bai: "It should be ready in about two more minutes."

Gu Mian: "Okay."

If I sit still for a long time, I start to feel a little cold.

Gu Mian jumped off the box and stretched her body a few times. Without putting the box away, she simply opened it.

[Advanced Pickaxe*1]

[Talent activated, obtain 2 high-grade pickaxes]

uh-huh?

Did they know she was going to collect resources later, so they brought her tools?

Jiang Bai: "The hot water is ready, you can invite us now."

Therefore, Gu Mian used the team card on Xu Kun and Jiang Bai.

Two or three seconds later, the two appeared next to Gu Mian.

Jiang Bai was also holding a thermos and a glass in his hand.

"I'm so thirsty." Gu Mian was about to reach for the cup when Jiang Bai turned away.

"hot."

After saying that, he took the glass and poured more than half a glass of boiling water from the kettle.

Xu Kun, who had been watching the whole thing, opened his mouth with a strange expression and said, "Not bad, Lao Bai, when did you become so considerate?"

“That’s called being a gentleman.” Gu Mian rolled her eyes at him, took a few ice cubes out of her backpack and threw them into the cup. “Okay, it’s not hot now.”

Xu Kun: "Oh, so this is what a gentleman is..."

"Why are you being so sarcastic?" Gu Mian looked up at him.

Xu Kun grinned: "No."

Jiang Bai: "Ignore him. Put the water bottle in your backpack. I'll go look around."

"No need to look, there's nothing around." Gu Mian finished her hot water in one gulp and then put the glass into her backpack.

"I've been wandering around here for over two hours, and I haven't found anything except for resource points along the roadside."

Xu Kun: "This ice field is so dazzling, it's almost blinding me."

Jiang Bai: "In that case, let's go take a look at the roadside."

Gu Mian raised her chin. "Look, it's right ahead."

Jiang Bai took out a pickaxe from his backpack, walked over, and dug down with one stroke.

[Obtain 2 clean ice cubes]

Jiang Bai raised an eyebrow and turned around. "The resources here are clean ice blocks."

"Wow! This is great stuff! I'm just missing ice!" Xu Kun, who was wandering around aimlessly, immediately took out his pickaxe from his backpack and started digging at the resource point.

Gu Mian doesn't lack ice. Not to mention that she had opened a lot of ice from the box before, she also pours mineral water into ice molds every day and puts them in the freezer to freeze into ice cubes. That shows how much ice she has stored.

But as I said before, since we're already here, we can't leave empty-handed, especially since we just found a high-level pickaxe.

[Obtain 3 clean ice cubes]

[A critical hit using an advanced pickaxe grants an additional 2 Clean Ice Cubes.]

[Talent used, gain 10 clean ice blocks]

After digging out the ice, the resource point disappeared, and Gu Mian continued towards the next resource point with her pickaxe.

For a time, the ice field was filled with their figures digging for ice blocks everywhere.

I got so caught up in digging for ice that I spent more than two hours digging.

As soon as the time to land on the island arrived, before they could even say a word, the three of them were teleported back to their raft.

As the environment changed from extremely cold to extremely hot, Gu Mian, who was still wearing a thick down jacket, suddenly felt hot and bothered.

I quickly took off my down jacket and snow boots, and in just a short while, my clothes underneath were already soaked with sweat.

After throwing her down jacket into the washing machine and taking out a new set of loungewear from the closet, Gu Mian hurriedly went into the bathroom to take a shower.

...

After digging for more than two hours, I was exhausted and hungry, and I only managed to dig out 200 pieces of ice.

After taking a shower, Gu Mian collapsed onto the recliner, completely unwilling to move.

I was lying down when I fell asleep without even realizing it.

When I woke up, it was almost 8 p.m., no wonder my stomach was growling loudly.

Tonight's dinner is six chive dumplings and a bowl of pumpkin porridge. I sent the extra dumpling to Xu Kun via private message, with the message: "Sorry, I overslept this afternoon."

The pumpkin porridge was very creamy, soft and delicious, with a hint of sweetness. Gu Mian finished the whole bowl in just a few bites.

Pick up a piece of chive pancake, take a bite, and your mouth is filled with the aroma of chives and the delicious taste of eggs.

After finishing all the chive boxes, Gu Mian was already feeling quite full.

I was lying in the chair digesting my food when the system notification sounded again.

[System Announcement: The first "Survival on a Desert Island" competition will begin in seven days.]

The competition will last for one month, and all players will be teleported to the deserted island in batches at 10:00 AM seven days from now.

The deserted island is fraught with danger, including mutated beasts, pollutants, and unknown natural disasters.

This competition will use a points system.

The top ten players in the total score will receive 10 Diamond Chests.

Players ranked in the top 100 in total points will receive 10 Gold Treasure Chests.

The player ranked first will receive an additional Island Binding Card*1.

Note 1: You can earn points by killing pollutants or mutated beasts.

Note 2: Players will receive an additional 10 points for each day they survive.

Note 3: You can randomly earn points by helping other players.

Note 4: After arriving on the island, all of the player's backpack slots will be locked. One slot will be unlocked for each day of survival.

Note 5: Mission cards will randomly spawn in various areas of the island. Finding a mission card and completing the mission will reward you with a flare gun, which can be used to call in a supply airdrop.

Chat channel.

"The rules for this competition seem pretty friendly? It doesn't look too difficult?"

"Really? You can't use the backpack, you can only unlock one slot per day, and if you teleport directly to the pollutant's face, it's game over."

"No way... What you're saying is starting to scare me! The system wouldn't be this treacherous, would it?"

"Hehe, who knows?"

"An unknown natural disaster? I have a bad feeling about this place!"

"But this time they didn't mention any penalties for being at the bottom of the standings, right? If they didn't mention it, then there probably aren't any, right?"
