The chat channel was bustling with activity. Since there were no other entertainment options available, everyone was looking for something to do here.
Gu Mian watched with great interest, and took the opportunity to open the boxes she had accumulated.
First, open 20 wooden crates and you will get a total of 100 cooling patches, 30 mineral water, 40 weeds, 30 wood, and 20 steamed buns.
Then open 20 bronze chests to obtain a total of 4 small ice makers, 2 large ice makers, 2 short-sleeved loungewear, 2 lucky fruits, 6 roast ducks, 2 advanced fishing rods, 2 wall lamp blueprints, 2 long sword blueprints, 2 packs of toilet paper (20 rolls per pack), and 6 underwear.
This bronze chest yielded some really good stuff!
Especially the Lucky Fruit, which is the only thing she has found that can increase luck value. She finally got it again after opening so many boxes.
Gu Mian pinched the lucky fruit and ate it without hesitation.
Then open your personal panel.
Name: Gu Mian
Gender: Female
Age: 22
Strength: 5+5+5 (15)
Health: 100+20+20 (140)
Speed: 6+6+6 (18)
Hunger level: 85 (below 30 grants a weakness buff).
Stamina: 75 (will be 0 when the player dies)
Luck rating: 5 (average)
Talent: Double Resources
Gu Mian rubbed her hands excitedly, wondering if the quality of the supplies in the next box would be better after increasing her luck by 2 points.
After eating the lucky fruit, Gu Mian turned her attention to other items.
[Advanced Fishing Rod (Durability 100): 100% chance to catch a wooden chest, 60% chance to catch a bronze chest, 30% chance to catch a silver chest.]
I wonder what's in the silver box?
[Large Ice Maker (Durability 100): Makes 100 ice cubes per hour.]
This is so much better than a small ice maker. With two large ice makers, we won't have to worry about running out of ice for the next few days!
[Wall lamp: Add fish oil for illumination; required material: 3 parts wood.]
[Longsword: Attack Power 20, Durability 100, Required Resources: Wood*2, Iron Ore*20.]
After studying the blueprints, Gu Mian couldn't wait to make herself a long sword.
The longsword was about a meter long, its blade gleaming with a sharp, cold light. Gu Mian gripped the hilt and swung it a few times, clearly enjoying it.
As a result, the next second, joy turned to sorrow.
[The cabin has been attacked; its durability has decreased by 10.]
Gu Mian: ...
He silently repaired the cabin, then put away his long knife, pretending nothing had happened.
She needed fish oil to light the wall lamp, which she didn't have, so she searched for it on the trading board.
Got it.
[Exchange 10 fish oil for 5 bottles of mineral water]
Too expensive, unreasonable, I'll think about it again.
[Exchange 5 fish oil for 5 ice cubes]
This one is fine, I'll change it.
[20g of fish oil can be substituted for 500g of any cooked meat]
This one is pretty good too, I substituted fish for it.
After two transactions, Gu Mian obtained a total of 50 fish oil, which should be enough for her to use for a long time.
The two extra blueprints were used to exchange for some basic supplies.
Although exchanging blueprints for supplies was a bit wasteful, there was no other way; she needed too many materials to build a three-story house.
Liu Haitao: "Gu Mian, you have so many things! You even used blueprints to exchange for basic materials."
Liu Haitao: "How about this, Gu Mian, as long as you join our Axe Gang and hand over all your supplies to the gang, I will forgive you for offending me before."
Gu Mian: "???"
Gu Mian: "Is the temperature too high? Did it melt your brain?"
Hua Xinrui: "Why are there always these brainless idiots jumping around like this?"
Gu Mian received a private message from Hua Xinrui: "That idiot Liu Haitao has been brainwashing people these past few days, trying to get them to join his gang and hand over half of the resources they obtain. The problem is that some people actually do it."
Gu Mian: "...What's the point of handing over supplies?"
Hua Xinrui explained: "It is said that we are all compatriots, so we should help each other. Everyone contributes some supplies to help those in need, and when we need help ourselves, we can apply for supplies from the gang."
Gu Mian was speechless: "People actually believe such a ridiculous claim?"
Hua Xinrui: "That's right, I don't know how someone with that IQ has survived this long."
Gu Mian didn't understand, but she respected the diversity of species.
Hua Xinrui: "Send [Potatoes*6], I don't like potatoes, so I'm giving these to you."
[Talent Use: Obtain 12 potatoes.]
Seeing potatoes reminded Gu Mian of beef stew with potatoes, and she suddenly felt a little hungry...
I glanced at the time; it was almost five o'clock, time to cook.
Take out five ice buckets and put them in the kitchen to lower the temperature inside.
Wait until the temperature drops to around 30 degrees Celsius before going inside. Peel and cut the potatoes into chunks, then set them aside.
Then take out two pieces of beef, soak them in cold water to remove the blood, then cut them into small pieces and blanch them in boiling water to remove the scum.
Pour some cooking oil into the pot, stir-fry the beef for a few seconds, then add various seasonings and boiling water.
While the beef was stewing, Gu Mian went to wash the rice and cook a pot of rice.
When the beef is almost done stewing, add the potato chunks, then take a picture and send it to Hua Xinrui and Xu Kun.
Surfing enthusiast Hua Xinrui was the first to reply: "Wow! It's beef stew with potatoes, it smells so good!"
Gu Mian: "I'll give you a bowl later."
The portion was too large; she definitely couldn't finish it all by herself.
Hua Xinrui was deeply moved: "Waaah, Mianmian, you're so good to me, I want to repay you with my body~"
