Gu Mian coughed lightly and pointed to the robot on the left, saying, "You are number 1."
He then pointed to the right and said, "You are number 2. I don't have any special instructions. Just do what you know how to do."
Robot 1/2: "Yes, Master."
...
Just after arranging the robot, Xu Kun sent another private message: "Hey sis, wanna come explore the island? The seawater is frozen over and we can't retrieve the boxes. It's pretty boring staying indoors all the time."
After thinking for a moment, Gu Mian replied, "No, we don't lack supplies right now, I want to rest for a while."
These past few days have been filled with tasks and cleaning up pollutants; it's been quite tiring.
Xu Kun: "...Little sister, have you become so rich that you're blind to the resources on the island? I'm starting to get a little jealous of you..."
Gu Mian smiled slightly: "It's not that exaggerated. A few days of rest is still possible."
Life should always be a balance between work and rest, and besides, she also needs to redeem blind boxes to open.
100 points can be redeemed for one intermediate blind box or ten low-level blind boxes.
Normally, the quality of intermediate-level blind boxes is definitely higher than that of low-level blind boxes, so Gu Mian decided what she wanted to redeem without much hesitation.
Open the blind box shop, select the intermediate blind box, and click redeem.
The next second, a box tied with a red bow appeared on the raft.
Gu Mian: ...
It's quite flashy.
Gu Mian untied the ribbon and opened the box.
[Hemostatic Agent *30]
[Supplies doubled, obtained 60 hemostatic potions]
The supplies were decent, but not very useful to her, since she had a medicine-making station where she could make her own hemostatic agents.
Gu Mian casually put all the hemostatic medicines on the trading area, exchanging one medicine for an unopened bronze box.
...
It was almost noon, and the cold snap hadn't ended yet. Gu Mian rubbed her hungry stomach and took out a piece of fruit pizza to eat.
The pizza wasn't very big; it was only about the size of two of Gu Mian's hands put together.
After finishing one, I was barely half full. Adding a nectarine made me about 70-80% full.
Having eaten and drunk her fill, and unable to fish for treasure chests, Gu Mian had no choice but to open the chat channel to pass the time out of boredom.
"[Watermelon] I also experienced the life of eating watermelon around a stove."
"How does it feel? Does eating watermelon at this temperature make your teeth feel cold?"
"What do you think? Eating watermelon while your teeth are chattering, oh my..."
"Haha, do you absolutely have to eat this watermelon?"
"[Mao Xue Wang] It's more comfortable to eat something hot in this weather."
A steaming pot of Maoxuewang (a Sichuan dish) is covered with red chili peppers, making it look both spicy and delicious.
Gu Mian was tempted and swallowed hard. She quickly switched the screen to the trading area to see how the hemostatic medicine was selling.
[Hemostatic agents 50/60]
Um?
What's going on?
This is the first time I've encountered a situation where medicine isn't selling.
Is it because the sea is frozen over that no one can retrieve the box?
Fortunately, Gu Mian wasn't in a rush to sell this batch of medicines; it was fine if it took a little longer.
No longer paying attention to the sale of the potion, Gu Mian took out a nectarine and traded it for a bag of spicy strips to satisfy her craving.
...
The long and boring afternoon passed by just like that, and the cold wave was still not over.
The outside temperature had dropped so low that even though Gu Mian was wrapped up from head to toe, she could still feel the biting cold.
Fortunately, the wooden house wasn't far from the greenhouse, and it wouldn't take Gu Mian long to run there quickly, her legs shaking.
The temperature inside the cabin was almost the same as outside. Gu Mian shivered as she reached out to light the wall lamp, found the remote control, turned on the air conditioner, and switched it to heating mode.
Then he quickly lit the stove, filled the kettle with water, and put it on to boil water.
While waiting for the water to boil, Gu Mian sat by the stove, warming her hands against the fire, and then opened a chat channel to pass the time.
"Holy crap... it's so cold! I'm wrapped in a big cotton coat and sitting by the stove, and I'm still shivering!"
"My teeth are never idle; they're constantly fighting each other."
"I drank a lot of hot water, but I didn't dare go out to pee because I was afraid it would freeze halfway through and I'd die from holding it in!"
"Dude, why don't you just pee in the room? Don't hold it in and hurt yourself!"
"I'm not cold at all with the air conditioning on; I can just wear a thin sweater indoors."
"What? You actually have air conditioning? That's so luxurious!"
"I'm already tired of saying the word 'envy'! I'm still using a brazier for warmth, while others are already using air conditioning!"
"Hey bro, can you share your coordinates? If we're not too far apart, I'll come crawling to your side!"
"Are you treating everyone upstairs like fools? You say you're trying to curry favor, but do you think no one knows what you're really up to?"
"Don't you dare slander me! I didn't have any bad intentions at all!"
"I don't believe it!"
"Don't believe me? +1!"
Xu Kun: "I got a heater from the intermediate blind box. Now I don't have to freeze my feet anymore."
"A heater in a blind box? That's amazing!"
"The person upstairs is really ignorant. You've been in the game for so long, and you still can't accept this?"
Xu Kun: "Wow, this heater is so powerful! It feels so good to have my feet warmed up like this!"
Zhu Zhixin: "Alright, alright, that's enough. Is it really necessary to keep going on and on about a heater?"
Xu Kun: "Brother, you can't stand it when I say a few words? Are you jealous?"
Zhu Zhixin: "That's ridiculous. It's not even anything special, why would I be jealous?"
Xu Kun: "So what good stuff do you have? Take it out and let me see."
"Yes, let's see what good stuff you have, show it to us."
"The freshly made pear soup warmed me up completely after just one sip!"
"Can you sell me a bowl of pear soup? My hands are almost frozen."
...
The water has boiled, and scalding steam is rising from the spout.
Gu Mian poured half a basin of boiling water into the wooden basin, then added some cold water and reached in to test the temperature.
Feeling that the water was slightly too hot to touch, I took off my socks and put my feet in to soak.
"Phew...soaking my feet in hot water feels so good..." Gu Mian soaked her feet contentedly while taking out an ice cream to eat.
The temperature inside had already risen, and Gu Mian, wrapped in a cotton-padded coat, sat by the stove, feeling a bit uncomfortable from the heat. Eating an ice cream to cool down at this moment would be incredibly refreshing.
Gu Mian had only eaten half of her ice cream when her private message lit up again, and she took a moment to open it.
Xu Kun: "Little sister, do you have any ice? Vegetables will also be fine. I've been suffering from a sore throat and my tooth hurts terribly these past few days."
Gu Mian: "No."
After saying that, he sent two ice creams and a watermelon directly.
Xu Kun, with one hand covering his slightly swollen cheek, was about to reply with some disappointment when he received ice cream and watermelon from Gu Mian.
She was immediately overjoyed, "Wow! Such a big watermelon! Eating it will definitely cool me down! Thank you so much, little sister!"
Gu Mian said nonchalantly, "It's a friendly gift, no need to be polite."
