Since we're already here, let's explore it properly.
Luo Xinglan hugged the little ear mouse tightly. Before leaving, she found a cotton hat and stuffed the little ear mouse inside, leaving only its big, round eyes showing.
The little mouse quickly locked onto one of the directions and excitedly urged Luo Xinglan to move forward.
Luo Xinglan followed them to a lakeside.
Are there small fish and shrimp again?
But that's not right, the lake is already frozen over, so she can't catch it.
Just as I was wondering what was going on, a notification sound suddenly rang out:
[Dungeon Quest Unlocked: Gathering Quest, Gather 0/2000 Ice Cubes, Quest Reward: Ice Maker.]
Luo Xinglan was overjoyed; she had actually encountered another dungeon quest!
Without hesitation, I chose to accept.
However, although there is ice everywhere, there are no signs indicating where to mine it. Where should we go to mine it?
Luo Xinglan couldn't help but shift her gaze to the lake.
Soon, she arrived at the lake with the little ear mouse in her arms and, sure enough, received a notification:
[Ice Layer: Ice blocks can be collected!]
Sure enough, the ice in this lake can be harvested!
Luo Xinglan placed the little mouse on the ground, took out an iron pickaxe from her backpack, and smashed it hard against the ice.
[Obtain 2 ice blocks, triggering a "twice the efficiency" effect, doubling the gathering speed and allowing you to obtain 4 ice blocks!]
Yes, as expected, this is how the "lucky one" attribute is used today.
Luo Xinglan grabbed a pickaxe and got to work with great enthusiasm.
[Obtain 2 ice blocks, triggering a "twice the result with half the effort" effect, tripling the gathering efficiency, and obtaining 6 ice blocks!]
[Obtain 2 ice blocks, triggering a "twice the efficiency" effect, doubling the gathering speed and allowing you to obtain 4 ice blocks!]
[Obtain 2 ice blocks, triggering a "twice the result with half the effort" effect, increasing gathering efficiency by four times, and obtaining 8 ice blocks!]
[Obtain 2 ice blocks, triggering a "twice the efficiency" effect, doubling the gathering speed and allowing you to obtain 4 ice blocks!]
[Gain 2 ice blocks, triggering a "twice the result with half the effort" effect, increasing gathering efficiency by five times, and gaining 10 ice blocks!]
...
With the help of "achieving twice the result with half the effort", Luo Xinglan collected more than a thousand ice blocks in less than half an hour.
She was a little tired, and her energy was dropping quickly, so she took out some bread and ate it, which immediately restored her energy. After resting for a while, she continued smashing ice blocks.
An hour later, a familiar voice rang out:
[Complete the dungeon quest: Obtain Ice Maker x1!]
At the same time, a global announcement was made:
[Congratulations to survivor Luo Xinglan for becoming the first survivor in this region to complete the Iceberg dungeon quest! Rewards include 2x Land (Advanced), 1x Fully Automatic Fishing Rod, and 1x Fishing Rod Upgrade Card!]
Luo Xinglan: "..."
Why did they give me a fully automatic fishing rod again?
She has two more that are gathering dust in the box. It's not that she doesn't want to use them, but she can't use multiple pairs at the same time.
Okay, then let's keep throwing them into the box.
Compared to Luo Xinglan's disdain, the others were filled with envy:
"It's not surprising at all. I'm already numb. It would be surprising if it wasn't Luo Xinglan one day."
"If I remember correctly, Luo Xinglan has already acquired four fully automatic fishing rods, right? It's like some people are dying of thirst while others are flooded with water!"
"I've always dreamed of owning a fully automatic fishing rod! Mr. Luo Xinglan, are you selling one?"
...
Once Luo Xinglan finished her mission, she stopped breaking ice blocks. Now that she had an ice maker, she could make ice blocks herself, so why bother?
She continued exploring the iceberg while holding the little ear mouse.
Although the iceberg has almost no plants, there are still plenty of chests, and the probability of finding bronze and silver chests is very high. I even encountered several gold chests, but I still didn't find any zircon chests.
Luo Xinglan stopped thinking about the zircon box and focused only on the box in front of her.
The little mouse nestled obediently in her arms.
Suddenly, it sniffed the air and pointed in a certain direction, saying, "Sister, there are herbs ahead."
"Herbal herbs?" Luo Xinglan looked down at him. "Are they the same two kinds from last time?"
She currently has evergreen herbs and Ganoderma lucidum. If it remains just these two herbs, she won't go out to collect more—after all, she has seeds and a medicinal herb field, so there's no need to gather so many.
The little mouse hurriedly said, "No! It's other herbs!"
"Okay, take me there after I open this silver chest."
As Luo Xinglan spoke, she opened the silver box, and surprisingly, she found a medicine box inside. Inside were some cold medicines and other medications.
Luo Xinglan was a little stunned. How could they even open a first-aid kit?
Besides, we've never prescribed any medication before.
She pursed her lips and followed the little mouse to the place it had described. It was still a world of ice and snow, but unlike other places, plants grew on the ice here, plants with pale purple flowers.
Luo Xinglan leaned closer and smelled a faint, pleasant fragrance; a message popped up automatically:
[Snow Lotus: A high-grade medicinal herb; it can be used in medicine after maturity, and its fruit has remarkable effects.]
Another high-grade medicinal herb?
Although we don't know what it's for yet, let's dig it up first.
!
Luo Xinglan took out a small shovel and carefully began to dig.
[Obtained 1 Snow Lotus, triggering a "twice the result with half the effort" effect, increasing gathering efficiency by three times, and obtaining 3 Snow Lotuses!]
Then they dug up another plant.
With constant notifications, Luo Xinglan quickly dug up all the snow lotus in this area. However, they were scattered and there weren't actually many.
However, with the blessing of "achieving twice the result with half the effort", she finally collected a total of [Iceberg Snow Lotus x28].
After that, Luo Xinglan didn't see any more snow lotuses, so she could only open the box and bump into Liu Di.
Liu Di asked with a smile, "Boss, how many boxes have you opened?"
Luo Xinglan thought for a moment and said, "I can't count them all."
There were so many boxes on the ice that she couldn't remember exactly how many she had opened.
Liu Di heard this as a Versailles story, and he joked sourly, "Boss, sometimes you can be a little more tactful when you speak."
Luo Xinglan: "???"
What?
Was she being very direct just now?
Seeing Luo Xinglan's confused look, Liu Di smiled and sighed, "Never mind, I was just saying it casually. Let's continue exploring."
"Wait a minute!"
Liu Di's face stiffened. Oh no, is the big boss angry?
I should have known better than to be so sarcastic!
Luo Xinglan: "I've explored that area. You can go somewhere else."
After saying that, he picked up the little mouse and left.
Liu Di: "..."
It was a false alarm.
He changed direction and continued his exploration.
Six hours passed quickly, and Luo Xinglan and the other two were teleported back to their raft.
As soon as she got back, that annoying Chen Xiaodong sent her a private message: "Luo Xinglan, I want to buy one of your fully automatic fishing rods. Name your price."
Luo Xinglan: "..."
Her eyes darted around, and she replied directly, "One million gold coins, no bargaining."
After finishing speaking, he began to organize the findings of this iceberg exploration and stopped paying attention to Chen Xiaodong.
