I quickly tore off a piece and stuck it on my forehead, and was immediately jolted by the icy-cold sensation.
"Phew..." Gu Mian let out a long sigh of relief, and without hesitation tore off three more sheets and stuck them on her thighs and back.
The four cooling patches lowered her body temperature by a total of 20 points. Gu Mian felt that her body was no longer hot, but even a little cool!
I wonder how the others are doing?
Thinking of the lucky Hua Xinrui, Gu Mian sent her a message: "Are you alright? Do you want ice cream today?"
After more than ten minutes, Hua Xinrui replied weakly, "Not good, the temperature is too high, it's making me dizzy and lightheaded."
Hua Xinrui: "If I hadn't been using ice to cool myself down, I probably would have had heatstroke by now."
Hua Xinrui: "Mianmian, you still have ice cream? Can I trade 3 ice cubes for 1 ice cream?"
Gu Mian did the math in her head: one ice cube would melt in two minutes at most, so three ice cubes would last about six minutes.
She was still making a profit by exchanging 3 ice cubes for 1 ice cream, so she replied, "Sure, how many ice creams do you want?"
Flower Heart: "Can I have 10? I only have 40 ice cubes left."
Gu Mian: "Sure, sure, you can come find me again after you finish your ice cream."
10 popsicles were exchanged for 30 ice cubes, and after the supplies were doubled, they became 60 ice cubes.
Gu Mian had a sudden inspiration and thought that if she could exchange ice cream and cooling patches for ice cubes, wouldn't she be able to achieve ice cube freedom?
That way, even if the ice maker isn't turned on one day, you won't have to worry about running out of ice!
Thinking of this, Gu Mian immediately opened the chat channel and sent: "Buying ice cubes. One ice cream for 3 ice cubes, one cooling patch for 10 ice cubes. Limited quantity, first come, first served!"
"Collecting ice cubes! One ice cream bar for 3 ice cubes, one cooling patch for 10 ice cubes. Limited quantity, first come, first served!"
"Collecting ice cubes! One ice cream bar for 3 ice cubes, one cooling patch for 10 ice cubes. Limited quantity, first come, first served!"
I swiped the app three times in a row, and then sat back and waited for business to come to me.
What is a cooling patch?
"It's so hot! My vision is going black, am I going to get heatstroke?!"
"Brothers, look at the description of the cooling patches! Putting one on your body can lower your body temperature by 5 degrees Celsius!! Go buy some now!!"
Xu Kun: "Girl, why didn't you contact me first if you had something this good!"
Xu Kun: "Quickly, give me 10 cooling patches!!!"
Jiang Bai: "20 cooling patches, send [200 ice cubes]".
Hua Xinrui: "Aaaaaah!!! Mianmian, I need a cooling patch!!!"
Wang Xiaoqing: "Gu Mian, I don't have any ice cubes. Can I exchange [20 ice creams] for 6 cooling patches?"
Zhu Zhixin: "Gu Mian, I'll buy you all the cooling patches you have!"
In an instant, both the chat channels and private messages exploded.
Gu Mian hadn't expected the cooling patch to be so powerful, and it seemed that she was the only one who had managed to get it working.
Blinking, Gu Mian began processing the transaction requests one by one.
[Transaction successful. You have received 200 ice blocks.]
[Transaction successful. You have received 100 ice blocks.]
[Transaction successful. You have received 50 ice blocks.]
...
Gu Mian kept only 30 for herself and traded away the rest of the cooling patches.
166 cooling patches were exchanged for a total of 1600 ice cubes and 20 ice creams.
After the supplies were doubled, they became 3200 ice blocks and 40 ice creams.
We've struck it rich!
The 60 backpack slots were almost not enough; 35 slots were filled with ice alone.
When good things happen, people are in high spirits. Suddenly feeling a bit hungry, Gu Mian quickly took out 10 packs of spicy chicken feet and a can of Sprite, sat down on the recliner, and leisurely started munching on them.
When the cooling patch was finished, Gu Mian leisurely got up and quickly took a shower in the bathroom.
Gu Mian filled a 2L wooden bucket with ice and placed it in front of the electric fan before continuing to lounge on the recliner.
When it's too hot, people tend to get lazy and just want to lie down without moving at all.
A cool breeze was blowing, and Gu Mian, with her eyes slightly closed, quickly fell asleep.
Gu Mian didn't get to sleep for long before she was woken up by the heat.
The ice in the wooden bucket had long since melted, and without its coolness, the air blown by the electric fan was scorching hot.
Gu Mian glanced at the time; it wasn't even noon yet.
After smoothing her sweaty hair, Gu Mian went into the bathroom and took another shower.
I had to take a shower; my clothes were soaked with sweat and felt sticky and uncomfortable against my skin.
After refilling the wooden bucket with ice and blowing cold air on it for a few minutes, the heat in my body slowly subsided.
Why……
It's only been half a day, how am I going to get through the rest of the days...?
Today the daytime was exceptionally long, and the sun didn't gradually set until almost 10 p.m.
As Gu Mian stepped out of the wooden house, the sweltering sea breeze immediately hit her in the face.
"Another day has passed, my family!"
"The diligent ones have already started fishing for supply crates."
"Cooling patches, cooling patches, I absolutely must get cooling patches!"
As soon as she reached the raft, Gu Mian suddenly remembered that the bok choy she had planted should be ripe by now.
Forehead……
It's so hot today, I don't know if I'll survive.
With a turn of her foot, Gu Mian walked towards the back of the wooden house.
[Wilted bok choy: The bok choy has wilted due to prolonged lack of water and excessive sun exposure. Please remove it and replant.]
puff.
They really got sunburned to death.
Gu Mian pulled out the cabbage and threw it away, not continuing to plant it.
The high temperatures will continue for another ten days, so the plants won't survive anyway. Let's wait a few more days.
