Looking at the time, it was almost 8 p.m., no wonder she was starving.
When I opened Guan Shanyue's private messages, I saw that she had sent dinner at 6 o'clock. She had asked Gu Mian several times because she hadn't received it yet.
At that moment, Gu Mian was engrossed in collecting energy crystals and completely ignored her information.
[Received 1 serving of Sichuan-style shredded chicken noodles and 1 serving of fruit milk pudding.]
[Talent used, obtains 2 servings of Sichuan-style shredded chicken noodles and 2 servings of fruit milk pudding.]
The portion of Sichuan peppercorn chicken noodles was generous, and it tasted both fresh and spicy, making Gu Mian exclaim that she thoroughly enjoyed it.
After finishing her meal, she slowly scooped out the pudding with a spoon. The cool pudding soothed her numb mouth from eating the spicy shredded chicken.
"This girl's cooking is really good!"
Gu Mian was very satisfied with her meal, so she happily opened her private message and sent six coconuts, leaving a message saying that she loved today's dinner and this was a gift in return.
In less than ten minutes, Guan Shanyue replied: "Sister, didn't you already give me the payment in advance? There's no need to give me anything extra."
What an honest kid.
Gu Mian: "It's okay, your cooking is delicious, I just wanted to give it to you."
Guan Shanyue: "Then thank you, sister!"
Gu Mian: You're welcome.
Although the Sichuan peppercorn chicken noodles were delicious, she couldn't eat two servings at once, and Guan Shanyue would be sending over new food tomorrow.
So Gu Mian quickly sent it to the three-person group chat, to see who could be faster between Xu Kun and Jiang Bai, and who would get the food.
She kept the fruit milk pudding, though it wasn't a large portion; she could save it for a late-night snack.
After taking a walk to digest my food, I got down to business and started opening the boxes.
As usual, Gu Mian first took out 100 bronze boxes, opened them one by one, and obtained:
[Pink towels * 10]
[10 bars of soap]
[Sunscreen spray 100ml*20]
[Ice Cubes * 200]
[100 bottles of mineral water]
[Chicken feed 200g*10]
The above supplies will be doubled.
Um?
This batch of crates only yielded so few supplies? And not even a purification potion?
Gu Mian looked utterly bewildered. After disassembling the bronze box, she stubbornly took out another 100 boxes.
[Corn*10]
[Teddy Bear *1]
[Energy Crystal*50]
[Purification Agent * 50]
[Sewing kit * 10]
[Loungewear *2]
[Seasoning*10]
[10 cantaloupes]
The above supplies will be doubled.
Gu Mian: ...
The teddy bear was almost as tall as a person, and its fluffy fur made it look extremely cute.
She would be so happy if it were driven out during the coldest time of the year, and we could sleep together in each other's arms at night.
But it's hot now, and Gu Mian finds it too hot to even look at it.
Looks like I'm not having much luck today. I'll open the rest of the boxes tomorrow.
The 200 bronze boxes yielded 400 bronze pieces, which were of little use to Gu Mian for the time being, and she didn't need them anyway, so she put them all up for sale to exchange for basic wood and iron nails.
After sorting out the supplies, Gu Mian washed up and went to bed. Since there was nothing else to do, she figured she might as well go to sleep early.
...
Today's breakfast was soy milk with steamed dumplings. Although it was light, the steamed dumplings tasted very delicious.
After finishing eating, open the email to collect the timber and nails from yesterday's transaction.
After deducting the handling fee, 400 bronze pieces yielded a total of 360 pieces of wood and 360 pieces of iron nails. If doubled, the yield would be 720 pieces of wood and 720 pieces of iron nails.
Gu Mian kept some in the storage cabinet, and planned to use the rest to expand the raft.
Opening the building panel, I discovered that a level 2 raft had been added sometime earlier.
[Tier 2 Raft: Offers higher defense and durability. Requires 20 pieces of wood and 20 iron nails to craft. Once crafted, it can directly replace a Tier 1 raft.]
Finally, we can upgrade the raft's defense and durability!
She was fed up with constantly repairing the rafts whenever there was a pollutant attack. Now that she could finally upgrade them, she was going to replace all the level one rafts with level two rafts!
[To craft a level 2 raft: 20 Wood, 20 Iron Nails. Craft now?]
"yes."
A slightly lighter-colored raft appeared before her eyes. Gu Mian went outside, randomly selected a level one raft, and replaced it.
[The raft has been replaced.]
[Tier 2 Raft: Defense 10, Durability 50.]
A level 1 raft has only 30 durability and no defense.
Although the stat increase of the level 2 raft wasn't significant, Gu Mian was already quite satisfied.
Next, she kept making second-level rafts to replace the first-level rafts.
They didn't stop until they had used up all the timber and nails they had acquired from yesterday's trade, but even then, they hadn't completely replaced all the level 1 rafts.
The timber and nails have run out, and she needs to go to the trading area to buy more, but that can be done in the afternoon; she's tired after a busy morning.
After quickly taking a shower and making a cantaloupe iced soda, Gu Mian leisurely lay down on the chair, enjoying the air conditioning and her iced drink.
After lying down for a while, I got a little bored, so I opened the chat channel to see what other players were doing.
"I almost got heatstroke after fishing for boxes all morning. This awful weather is getting hotter and hotter."
"If you know it's hot, why do you still insist on going out to sunbathe? You can go fishing for boxes tonight."
"I don't want to be in the sun either! It's getting hotter and hotter, so I want to hurry up and collect more boxes to see if I can get some cooling patches or other heat-relieving gadgets."
