Xu Kun chuckled: "I was originally planning to go to the island to cut down trees, but I ended up finding a cotton field. This cotton is what I got from this afternoon."
Gu Mian's eyes flashed: "You picked 100 cotton bolls in just one afternoon?"
Xu Kun: "No, I spent half a day cutting down trees."
Gu Mian: "..."
He was a good person; he gave her all the cotton he picked. The problem was, she didn't have the pattern for a cotton-padded jacket, so she didn't need all that cotton.
Gu Mian silently sent back another 100 cotton balls. "I don't have the blueprints for making cotton-padded jackets. You can keep them yourself."
Xu Kun was taken aback: "Huh? Isn't everyone supposed to have a pattern for cotton-padded jackets? It's okay if you don't have one, I'll make two and send them to you."
Gu Mian: ...
I'm really sorry!
Gu Mian gritted her teeth. She hadn't been able to get the pattern for the cotton-padded jacket, so she had to wear the same one every day, and it was almost worn smooth from use.
Ignoring Xu Kun, Gu Mian used the food processor to make herself an egg rice noodle roll and a pork dumpling.
[Egg Rice Noodle Roll: Increases satiety by 20 points after consumption.]
[Pork dumplings: Increases satiety by 20 points after consumption.]
Eating two portions brought my satiety level up to 80.
After eating and drinking her fill, Gu Mian put on new heat packs and then nestled into the sofa, rubbing her belly.
I was just about to turn on the live stream to see if there were any interesting channels when my private messages started popping up again.
Xu Kun: "Send [long cotton coat *2], little sister, take a look, I specially picked out a nice color for you."
[Talent Use: Obtain 4 Long Down Jackets]
Gu Mian took out a ginger-yellow cotton coat, tried it on, and found that it was indeed very long. At 170 cm tall, it covered her ankles.
The newly made cotton-padded coat was very warm. As soon as she put it on, Gu Mian felt her forehead start to sweat slightly, so she quickly took it off and put it on the chair.
Then she replied to Xu Kun: "The color is nice, and it's very warm to wear. Thanks."
Xu Kun: "Hey, don't be shy. Are two cotton-padded jackets enough? If not, I'll make you another one."
Gu Mian: "That's enough."
Although you made two pieces, I received four.
Gu Mian didn't waste any time arguing with him. She simply made three servings of pork dumplings and sent them over, along with a thank-you note.
She still doesn't like taking advantage of others; a give-and-take approach is best. If only one side is constantly giving, the relationship will eventually deteriorate.
...
Gu Mian was curled up on the sofa, idly scrolling through live streams. There were very few interesting ones; most people were just live streaming their boring daily lives.
After watching a few more and still finding it uninteresting, I closed the live stream and opened the chat channel.
"Brothers, I just smashed a hole in the sea to see if I could fish for a supply crate. Guess what happened?"
"I bet you won't be able to catch it. The system wouldn't leave such an obvious loophole for people to exploit, would it?"
"[Bronze Treasure Chest] Wrong answer, but I actually fished it up! Damn it, this damn system is full of traps!"
"Holy crap! Really? I thought we could only fish for chests again after the extreme cold was over!"
"Who doesn't think so? The guy upstairs is really talented; he actually managed to find a bug in the system."
"I'm not saying anything more, let's go smash the hole! I'm so bored every day, finally I can find something to do."
"Great! I was almost out of food and I was so worried about what to do. Now that I know I can keep fishing for boxes, I feel so relieved."
"It's already late, and you guys are still going out to fish for boxes? Aren't you afraid of freezing to death?!"
"What's there to be afraid of! Just wear something thicker."
...
This is indeed surprising news, but these people must have a lot of free time to go out fishing for boxes in the cold wind late at night.
Anyway, Gu Mian didn't have the leisure for that. The weather was so cold that it was perfect to do nothing and just stay indoors by the fire.
However, after what just happened, many players with limited resources put on windproof hats, wrapped themselves in thick cotton-padded coats, and went out to fish for chests.
The chat channel instantly became quiet.
While watching the remaining players chat, Gu Mian organized her backpack.
When she entered the Corruptor Hunt instance earlier, she killed a foreigner and obtained his backpack.
Unfortunately, before I could collect any supplies, I was interrupted by a large group of pollutants that emerged from the mine, and my backpack disappeared afterward.
That's outrageous. I don't even know if the system pocketed it for her.
Gu Mian's spatial backpack has 80 compartments. The spatial backpack can keep food fresh indefinitely, so she puts perishable foods, meats, and fruits directly into the backpack.
In addition to food, there were weapons and 120 bronze chests obtained from the previous trade.
Since I had nothing better to do, I decided to take everything out and open the boxes to pass the time.
[100 cabbage seeds]
[Tomato seeds * 30]
[Spinach Seeds * 30]
[Corn seeds * 50]
[Basic Nutrient Solution * 100]
[Honey 100g*30]
[Thermal underwear set *1]
...
The supplies in the box this time mainly consisted of various vegetable seeds. Gu Mian activated the robot's access to the storage cabinet and then put all the seeds and nutrient solution into the storage cabinet.
I forgot to grant the robots the necessary permissions, no wonder I haven't seen them working.
She's such a terrible owner...
By the time all the supplies were sorted out, it was already quite late.
Gu Mian yawned wearily, forced herself to get up, quickly washed her face with hot water, and then curled up back in the recliner to sleep without even wiping her face.
