I started on a rocking horse and relied on watching ads to dominate the highway survival charts.

A large patch of golden-red light appeared in front of Huo Yunzhi and her group.

"High-quality red maple resin," Shen Chilie quickly announced the resource they needed.

"There it is." Huo Yunzhi quickly locked onto the target.

She reached out and grabbed the item.

The light dissipated the moment she touched it, and a strangely shaped section of red maple tree trunk floated in her palm.

"Consider this my reward, and you can choose another item."

Shen Chilie took the prop from Huo Yunzhi's hand and gestured for her to choose another one.

Huo Yunzhi hesitated for a moment, then instinctively took out the light spot closest to her.

[Congratulations to the player who has obtained the custom blueprint feature card.]

As the light faded, a pure white card floated quietly in Huo Yunzhi's hand, with (0/3) clearly marked on its surface.

[Settlement phase is about to begin...]

[Settlement complete. A total of 6 players survived in this service area. The surviving players will split the survival coins of the deceased players equally.]

[Congratulations to player Crayon Shin-chan Eyes for obtaining 14000 Survival Coins.]

[Congratulations to player Crayon Shin-chan for obtaining the title "Opera Troupe Leader". Possessing this title grants a permanent bonus of 5 to Constitution, 5 to Agility, and 5 to Strength.]

[Congratulations to the Xuan-level Ghost Messenger Huo Yunzhi for successfully purifying the completely polluted service area, Ghost Theater. Ghost Theater will now be registered under your name as a Ghost Messenger property, and you will receive 10% of Ghost Theater's net profit each month as maintenance fees.]

[The theater gates are open. Players are requested to leave the service area within 10 minutes.]

With the start of the ocean mode approaching, Huo Yunzhi and her team were running out of time.

The moment they heard the system notification, the two of them sprinted toward the door in perfect unison.

"When you go back this time, pay close attention to the equipment. It would be best if it could stay afloat in the water."

Just as she was about to step out the door, Huo Yunzhi turned around and whispered a reminder to the four people behind her.

Then he left the Ghost Theater without looking back.

It was already late at night on the highway.

Fufu was sitting in the driver's seat, craning her neck to look in her direction, trying to use her anxious emotions to call Huo Yunzhi back as soon as possible.

"elder sister!"

The moment Fufu saw Huo Yunzhi, she pushed open the car door and wanted to run towards her. However, Huo Yunzhi was worried that she would be harmed by the vengeful ghost and told her to go back. Only then did Fufu obediently sit at the door of the RV and wait for her.

"Sister, you're covered in blood! Are you hurt?"

When Fufu saw the bloodstains on Huo Yunzhi's body, she mumbled in a slightly choked voice. It seemed that if the machine hadn't been unable to shed tears, the little one would have already been crying her eyes out in the RV.

"It's alright, it's all someone else's blood."

Huo Yunzhi changed out of her blood-stained clothes, took a shower, and put on the clean pajamas that Fufu had brought her. She dried her hair while browsing the messages in the group chat.

[I Have a Logic Cat]: The most important material for the waterproof coating has arrived, and we can start making it tonight.

[Bangbang will give you two punches]: Great! Lao Wen, what price are you planning to sell this for?

[I don't need a lot of money]: You can't use it no matter what price it is, the horse will definitely lose its heat in the sea.

[Bangbang will give you two punches]: I was just curious. I've already planned that when the ocean mode starts, I'll sit on the gourd during the day and let the horses pull me, and at night I'll take the horses to rest inside the gourd. I should be able to get through it.

【上善若水】: Your method is good. @I have a logic cat, is your special material renewable?

【I have a logic cat】: Yes, the amount that can be repeatedly generated each day is not small.

【The highest virtue is like water】: Then I suggest you don't buy anything too expensive.

【I Have a Logic Cat】: What? Do you have some inside information?

【The highest virtue is like water】: A fortune teller I knew before just messaged me saying that he has predicted the next pattern.

[Crayon Shin-chan Eyes]: And then what happened?

【The highest virtue is like water】: Just as we know.

【上善若水】: Then she also attached a message that after the ocean mode ends, there will be a server merge, and servers with fewer players will be merged into servers with more players. The system will be taken over by the system of the server with fewer players and will be absorbed by the system of the server with more players.

【I Have a Logic Cat】: This is not good news. Servers with fewer players are bound to have a worse system. Logically, we should ensure that our server has fewer players, since we are already quite familiar with this system.

[Crayon Shin-chan Eyes]: But if our server has few players, what if the server with more players isn't in China...?

【Iron Wolves】: This is our biggest disadvantage; we could very well be wiped out by them ganging up on us.

【The highest virtue is like water】: So, just to be on the safe side, we still need to ensure the number of players in our server.

【I Have a Logic Cat】: After all, we understand how bad the system is, it's just a matter of how bad it is and how bad it is, and... maybe it's not so easy to get information out of it.

【Ruthless Rice Cooker】: So we've decided then, we'll sell it at the fair price once it's done?

[Crayon Shin-chan's eyes]: Hmm.

[Bangbang will give you two punches]: By the way, Sister Huo, I brewed some of our local specialty herbal tea for you. It can increase your maximum health value. Remember to accept it.

Huo Yunzhi looked at the transaction box sent by Qin Yuanshan.

The dark liquid exuded an ominous aura.

However, considering that it could increase the maximum health value...

Huo Yunzhi took it out without hesitation, pinched her nose, and gulped down all the herbal tea in one go.

My tongue was so bitter it was almost numb.

In a daze, Huo Yunzhi felt as if she saw a mad doctor running around in her mind, making strange noises.

Fufu hurriedly stuffed a fruit candy into Huo Yunzhi's mouth, barely managing to dispel the bitterness of the herbal tea.

Fortunately, the herbal tea had a very noticeable effect. Huo Yunzhi opened her attribute template and saw that her maximum health value had increased by 20 points.

In the group chat, Shen Chilie also sent a "dead" emoji.

[Iron Wolf]: What did you put in this herbal tea? It's so bitter!

【Bangbang will give you two punches】: Really? I even added licorice that Sister Xu Xiu grew in the gourd with sweet dew to this batch.

[Iron Wolf]: Then you should go see Xu Xiu tomorrow. I feel like you've lost your sense of taste.

[Bangbang will give you two punches]: It's not so bad once you get used to it. Old Shen, don't underestimate it. It can be effective a maximum of 5 times per person and can increase the maximum health value by 100 points!

Shen Chilie remained silent in the group for a moment, then sent a "resurrected" emoji.

[Iron Wolf]: Give me four more!

Huo Yunzhi looked at these words, hesitated for a moment, and then typed +1.

After drinking four large cups of cold tea, Huo Yunzhi lost her appetite for dinner and fell asleep in bed.

Of course, it is also very possible that he was overwhelmed by the large amount of herbal tea and temporarily lost consciousness.
