The price is neither too high nor too low, making it affordable for everyone. Moreover, sea salt is a condiment, and 200g is enough for one person to eat for more than a month.
After filling all the shelves in the shop, Gu Mian opened her email to collect the points she had earned from selling items.
Nine yellow peaches, after deducting the handling fee, earned 88 points, indicating that it was purchased by one person.
Nine watermelons and nine cantaloupes earned 1764 points after deducting the handling fee. It seems that because the melons were so large, each person only bought one.
After tidying up the shelves, Gu Mian quickly got out of bed.
The hail that had been falling all night had stopped sometime earlier, and she quickly checked the raft and the villa.
Fortunately, no hailstones pierced through it, but its durability was reduced by more than half.
[The system has a one-click raft repair function. Does the player wish to use wood*, nails*, and stones* to repair the raft?]
Gu Mian: "...Not for now."
Where would she get so many basic materials?!
It's all because of those awful hailstones!
When people are down on their luck, they want to see if anyone is even more unlucky than themselves. If someone is, they feel much more comforted. So Gu Mian decisively opened the chat channel.
"Overnight, more than half of the raft was destroyed!"
More than half!
How many trees would I have to cut down, how many stones would I have to dig up, to repair it!
"Alright, stop howling. If you have this much time to spare, why don't you go chop down some trees?"
"The ice is finally starting to melt. If all goes well, I can start collecting supply crates again around 9 o'clock!"
"Really? That's great—"
Before the message was even sent, the system notification sounded again.
[Notice: Due to unforeseen circumstances causing the winter sports season to end early, the points race will begin in three hours.]
Gu Mian: ?
What kind of robber logic is this?
Is the points-based competition starting just because the winter season ended early?
Damn it!
What kind of exploitative person is this?
There were so many flaws that Gu Mian almost choked.
Speechless, I opened the system panel and clicked the leaderboard icon.
[Server-wide Points Tournament Rules (3.0)]
This competition is a free-for-all mode, where players can freely team up or play solo.
Players can attack each other, and each player killed earns 1,000 points.
You will get a red name after killing ten players.
Killing a player with a red name (indicating a high level of invincibility) will earn you 10,000 points.
[The competition venue is free of pollutants and mutated beasts; the only way for players to gain points is by defeating other players.]
[The competition will take place in an extremely cold, snowy area. Players will be randomly teleported to different locations; please prepare accordingly.]
[Note 1: The temperature in the extreme cold snowfield is extremely low and the types of plants are extremely rare. Players need to prepare more warm clothing and fuel.]
Note 2: Snow will fall continuously during the competition, and players should take protective measures.
Note 3: This competition is in the resource-hard mode, and the probability of finding resource boxes and mission cards is reduced by 50%.
Note 4: Players can lock 7 backpack slots before the match. Once the match begins, all backpack slots except the locked ones cannot be used.
Note 5: During the competition, the trading channel, system store, and personal shop are unavailable. The blind box store allows three redemptions per day.
Note 6: The qualifying tournament lasts for seven days. Once the tournament begins, players will be teleported directly to the extreme cold snowfield. Players cannot be teleported back to the raft before the tournament ends.
Note 7: Players who survive to the end of the competition will each receive an island-bound card and a survival gift pack.
As soon as the system notification ended, the once-silent chat channel instantly erupted in activity again.
"Island Binding Card! I can finally be an island owner!"
"You should focus on surviving first before thinking about becoming the island's owner."
"I'm trembling with fear, why did they put together a free-for-all mode this time?!"
"Let's encourage players to kill each other. Didn't we already see signs of that in the last competition?"
"Holy crap! Extreme cold and snow, how cold is this? It can't be colder than the winter season, can it?"
"I don't know how cold it will be, but the system has reminded me twice already, so it's definitely a good idea to prepare for the cold."
There are only seven backpack slots available this time, so I need to think carefully about what to bring.
At the same time, Xu Kun also tagged Gu Mian in the group: "These seven days are going to be tough! Shall we team up?"
This gives 21 backpack slots for 3 people, greatly increasing the variety of supplies they can carry!
Gu Mian thought for a moment and then didn't refuse: "That's possible, but how do we get together?"
Should I use a team card? But the team card only lasts for two hours, and when the time is up, I will be teleported back to my original location.
Relying on two legs doesn't seem very realistic.
If the snow is deep, walking is difficult, let alone walking together.
Gu Mian frowned, feeling troubled by the question of how to gather everyone together.
Upon seeing the long string of messages from Gu Mian, Xu Kun was stunned. He was so focused on spending another seven days with the pretty girl that he forgot all about how to get together.
Just as he was scratching his head and looking worried, Jiang Bai popped up.
"I have a sled here, and your pet dog can pull the sled to your place."
Xu Kun's eyes lit up: "This method will work, but can your pet dog pull two people?"
Jiang Bai: "It should be possible. If you can't pull it, you'll have to figure it out yourself."
Xu Kun: "..."
Pet dog?
Gu Mian remembered that she also had two pet dogs, but after handing them over to Robot No. 1, she forgot about them.
Well, she's definitely not suited to keeping pets. If she hadn't handed her dog over to the robot, it probably would have starved to death in her hands long ago.
The points competition was about to begin in three hours, so Gu Mian quickly ate breakfast and then prepared the things she needed to bring.
First of all, you definitely need to bring warm clothes, a tent, and a temperature-controlled sleeping bag. It's also a good idea to bring a thermos so you can have hot water whenever you want.
You need at least one slot for wood. Five pieces of wood can make a campfire, and a campfire can burn for ten hours. One slot of wood can last until the end of the competition.
There were also frostbite cream, face cream, hand cream, and other daily necessities and changes of clothes, which Gu Mian put directly into her backpack so she could carry it on her back later.
With seven days' worth of food to eat, Gu Mian thought for a few seconds and decided to bring all boxed lunches so she could put them all in one compartment.
Simple and convenient.
If you get tired of the food and want to try something different, you can also exchange for blind boxes. With three blind boxes, you're guaranteed to get food in one of them.
Hmm... it should... be okay...
...
After working for half a day, Gu Mian realized that two and a half hours had passed, so she quickly used the food processor to make 99 servings of sweet vegetable porridge.
Beetroot porridge can help ward off colds, so it's a good idea to stock up on plenty.
And even if she doesn't need it herself, she can sell it to someone else.
Everything is ready, just waiting for the points-based competition to begin!
