"I knew the desert was cold at night, but I didn't know it would be this cold."
"It's not like I'm letting her burn it for nothing. I'm willing to give her double the survival points!"
"But we have no other choice. Saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda, so please help us."
Xi Xi pinched her philtrum and then rolled her eyes. She admitted she wasn't exactly a saint; refraining from doing evil was already her greatest act of kindness, and there was no way she could sacrifice herself for others. She composed herself and then whispered in the public chat, "It's not that I don't want to help everyone, it's just that my stamina is almost gone, sob sob... Now you all know what happens when you're exhausted, right? I'm both weak and scared, I really can't leave the car... But I still want to remind everyone that it's best to start a fire.

How about this, I have a few weapons and tools that I obtained from the game. They can be used for self-defense. I’ve kept one for myself. If you need the rest, you can send me a private message. It’s just an exchange. Bring your price.”
"Alright, alright. Selling tea while simultaneously finding an opportunity to promote a useless stone axe—killing two birds with one stone. This shrewd merchant is getting more and more adept at this." Xi Xi nodded in satisfaction, exited the public chat, and went back to drinking her hot soup.
