Post-apocalyptic game: I survive at sea by scavenging for trash.

Lin Zhaoyin didn't rush to make the second appliance. Instead, she brought the light bulb back to the cabin and placed it in the center of the roof.

[Light bulb, used for illumination, requires a power source to operate]

[Energy stones detected in the current space. Connect now?]

Lin Zhaoyin chose to connect. The energy stone was still in her possession, but the information displayed on it had changed.

[Energy Stone, converting electricity for power supply, currently connected: 1/3]

Lin Zhaoyin tested it by turning off the light, but the energy stone remained connected and supplying power. She removed the light bulb, but the connection remained intact. She reinstalled the bulb, but the connection count was still 1/3.

After several rounds of testing, Lin Zhaoyin was basically able to determine the usage method and limitations of this energy stone.

If an item that needs charging is detected by an energy stone, a connection reminder will be triggered. Once the connection is successful, it cannot be canceled. Each energy stone can be connected to 3 items that need charging.

In that case, we need to think carefully about the remaining two connection opportunities.

Choosing light bulbs from the beginning was absolutely the right decision, as the island was pitch black at night, and having lighting tools was crucial.

Energy stones are not something you can obtain in large quantities, so you should choose items like light bulbs that you can always use and that play an important role.

If there is no suitable option at the moment, it is better to keep the remaining two connection opportunities unused for the time being.

Lin Zhaoyin wanted to choose an air conditioner, but the materials used to make air conditioners are also very complicated, and she didn't have many of them.

Whether we can use it or not depends on the two treasure chests we open today. If we can get the missing materials for the air conditioner, or blueprints for items with similar functions, that would be great too.

In this current period of blizzard disaster, having air conditioning means we won't be afraid of the cold anymore, and we can continue to use it even if there are subsequent periods of extreme heat or drought.

But dreams are beautiful, but reality dealt the sisters a heavy blow, and for the first time, Lin Wan-yi's 10 points of luck failed to materialize.

However, the results of opening the chests weren't bad: the bronze chest contained a large piece of beef and two expansion stones, while the silver chest contained an A-grade skill book and five basic health potions.

[Wind Blade, Rank A combat skill, consumes 20 experience points, deals 1.5x damage to a single enemy]

With the addition of this Wind Blade, Lin Zhaoyin now has three combat skills. However, the more skills she has, the more she feels like she doesn't have enough stamina.

Moreover, due to the recent shortage of resources, Lin Zhaoyin hasn't picked up any trash for several days, and she hasn't used her trash purification skill for a long time, which was originally a regular activity that consumed her energy.

Besides leveling up, the only way to improve attributes and caps is through boosting items.

Lin Zhaoyin has a magical bonsai plant that has boosted her attributes quite a bit over this period of time, but when she encountered the Ice Crack Bird today, she still felt powerless. She only managed to survive today by relying on her own cleverness.

As darkness fell outside, the wooden house took on a different feel thanks to the electricity and light source.

Lin Zhaoyin lay on the bed and checked her personal attributes.

Lin Zhaoyin has made a lot of money these past two days by fighting monsters and trading fireplaces, but apart from those two hand warmers, she hasn't spent any more money.

Originally, Lin Zhaoyin wanted to buy many things, but after buying the land, she realized that useful things wouldn't be cheap, so she didn't dare to spend money recklessly anymore.

These past few days she's been waiting for those potatoes to sprout. If they do, she'll need to save the money to buy more land.

Lin Zhaoyin's mind was filled with random thoughts, and then she drifted off to sleep.

I don't know if it was because of the level 7 monster during the day, but no monsters came to attack at night, and I unexpectedly had a good night's sleep.

Day 16 of the game calendar, heavy snow, -30 degrees Celsius.

[Due to the shelter being protected and the fireplace being used, the temperature inside the shelter rose by 15 degrees Celsius. The current temperature inside the shelter is -10 degrees Celsius.]

Having learned from yesterday's experience, Lin Zhaoyin immediately opened the system store and, sure enough, saw the limited-time flash sale again.

[Temperature-sensitive cotton socks. Adjustable to body temperature within ±5 degrees Celsius based on ambient temperature. Price: 1500 gold coins. Limited to one purchase per person.]

While it's not as effective as yesterday's hand warmers, it's a permanent item and might still be useful after this blizzard, so the price is reasonable.

Lin Zhaoyin bought them without hesitation, then put on the socks, and they did feel warmer afterward.

Lin Zhaoyin stopped worrying about the weather today and simply used up an invincible hand warmer.

With the support of the two items, plus my own equipment and warm clothing, I already feel quite warm indoors. It's 20 degrees colder outside than inside the cabin, but with my current attire, I shouldn't get too cold going out and trigger the cold-related negative status effect.

It was snowing heavily outside. Lin Zhaoyin looked out the window and found that her apple tree was already half-buried in snow. She would have to go and clear the snow from the apple tree later.

With half a meter of snow, without snow removal tools, we probably wouldn't even be able to leave the house today.

The chat channels were indeed filled with lamentations due to the heavy snow. Most people gave up on going out to fish for treasure chests and stayed in the shelter, where it was at least slightly warmer than outside.

Some people tried various methods to remove the snow themselves; some succeeded, but others were attacked by monsters hiding in the snow.

Lin Zhaoyin had considered taking a break for the remaining days, since she had enough food supplies. But she couldn't ignore the snow outside; otherwise, when the monsters came, she would be left defenseless.

So after finishing her hot porridge, Lin Zhaoyin prepared to go out and clear the snow.

As soon as the door was opened, a thick layer of snow poured into the cabin. Luckily, the cabin door opened inwards, otherwise it probably would have been impossible to open it under the weight of the snow.

Having learned from yesterday's lesson, Lin Zhaoyin inspected the roof very carefully today. Although she couldn't directly use a blowtorch to spray fire on the roof, Lin Zhaoyin didn't give up. She jumped up and used an electromagnetic rod to poke at the snow on the roof.

The snow on the roof cascaded down on its own under pressure, and Lin Zhaoyin was almost hit by a snowflake.

The same applies to the snow around the apple tree. First, use tools to gain leverage, and once the snow is moved away from the apple tree, use a blowtorch to melt it.

But after seeing the information and data about the apple tree, Lin Zhaoyin felt that she had just wasted her time.

[The amazing apple tree, ripening stage, how many hours until it bears fruit (the plant has stopped growing due to climate conditions)]
