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

Lin Zhaoyin searched for a long time before finally finding the transaction information. Then she clicked on the anonymous avatar and sent a message.

[Lin Wan-yi, is that you?]

The anonymous avatar quickly replied: 【Lin Zhaoyin, sis! It's me!】

Neither of them could believe that they had found their family on the very first day of the game. The two sisters quickly confirmed each other's identities and added each other as friends.

Lin Wanyi: [Sis, I knew it! Games and reality are interconnected. Given how unlucky you are, if I can narrow down the search area, I'm sure I can find you.]

Lin Zhaoyin: [My sister is so clever; this missing person notice is way too tricky.]

Lin Wanyi: [Sis, I'm lucky, I have extra water and food, I'll share some with you!]

Lin Zhaoyin: [Not for now, my day went pretty well.]

Lin Zhaoyin told her younger sister what had happened that day, and Lin Wanyi couldn't believe that her older sister had really turned her luck around.

Lin Wanyi also explained her situation. Her luck stat was 9 points. She caught not only a wooden treasure chest but also an iron treasure chest. Besides food and water, she also found a blanket, a bow and arrow, and an attribute card. The attribute card gave her 5 points of agility, which she used immediately.

I was thinking that if my sister got some junk, she could help me use a skill, but it seems I won't be needed anymore.

Furthermore, Lin Zhaoyin learned something else: the wooden treasure chest didn't always break down into 2 planks, but rather 2 to 4. It was just that she was unlucky and only got the minimum guaranteed drops.

Soon it got dark. The night sky was pitch black, with no stars or moon. Fortunately, the two kept sending messages, and the light from the screen helped to dispel some of the darkness.

Finally, the wooden house was completed, and Lin Zhaoyin placed it in the very center of the deserted island. Although the wooden house was only 2 meters by 3 meters, not much bigger than a bed, sleeping in a house was still more reassuring than sleeping outdoors.

Before entering the cabin, Lin Zhaoyin's water purifier was also being made. It would take 8 hours to make, which would be perfect for when she woke up tomorrow.

Just to be on the safe side, the magical potted plant was also brought into the house. Who knows if any strange things might appear at night?

Day 2 of the game calendar, sunny, 25°C

After confirming each other's safety, Lin Zhaoyin and her sister couldn't wait to go out to look at water purifiers.

The water purifier was now lying on the workbench. [Basic water purifier, upgradable, can purify and filter 10L of seawater daily, producing potable freshwater and a small amount of salt. Seawater needs to be added manually.]

Upgrading the basic water purifier requires glass and plastic, which Lin Zhaoyin felt she could get today, but she didn't plan to use all the materials. Anyway, she had enough water for herself and her sister.

I planned to move the water purifier into the cabin, but when I opened the door, I saw the cabin's information: [Shelter: Small cabin, upgradeable and expandable. Defense: 10, Durability: 100]

[Expansion Available: 50 planks can be used to expand the wooden house to 4 meters by 5 meters]

[Upgradeable: Requires 20 planks and 50 stones to upgrade the wooden house to a stone house]

Expansion is out of the question, since the entire island is only about 20 square meters; expansion would leave no room to walk. As for upgrades, there aren't enough materials for the time being, so Lin Zhaoyin decided to leave it for now.

Today's treasure chest fishing operation has begun again. After catching 5 Lin Zhaoyin, I opened the chest. As expected, it was all junk again.

After disassembling the wooden box, Lin Zhaoyin used the planks to make a wooden bed, as the time spent making items could not be wasted.

With the time approaching 12 o'clock, Lin Zhaoyin waited next to the magical potted plant, as it would provide her with food for the day!

The plant in the pot had formed a round ball, and at 12 o'clock, the ball slowly cracked open, revealing the fruit inside.

[A bunch of magical bananas. Each banana restores 10 stamina points and increases a random attribute by 1 point.]

The bananas grown in the pot are small, and can be eaten in three bites. However, a bunch contains 10 bananas, which means it's worth 100 stamina points and 10 random attribute points!

Could the fruits produced by this potted plant all have this special function?

Lin Zhaoyin excitedly broke off a banana, and then heard the notification sound: [Stamina +10, Attack +1]

Lin Zhaoyin was determined to share this good stuff with her sister, so she immediately sent two sticks via private message.

Less than two minutes later, Lin Wanyi replied to the message.

[Sister, you can keep this good stuff for yourself, I can eat plenty! Attachment: 5 sausages.]

Lin Zhaoyin sighed, "I'm still picking up trash, while my sister is already eating meat! But now I'm eating it too! Hehe!"

After filling her stomach, Lin Zhaoyin continued fishing for treasure chests.

It's been two days, and she hasn't gotten a single normal supply!

Surrounded by a pile of trash, Lin Zhaoyin began using her [Trash Purification] skill again. It wasn't until the tenth piece of trash that the tattered fishing net emitted a familiar glow.

[A sailor's fishing net: Put it in the sea, and it will bring you back some sea creatures.]

Wow! This time they have seafood too!

Taking advantage of the early hour, Lin Zhaoyin quickly lowered the fishing net. Like the fishing rod, the net didn't require any operation; it worked automatically.

As Lin Zhaoyin walked back, feeling quite pleased with herself, she suddenly realized something: yesterday was also her 10th successful use of the skill. Could it be that this skill has a guaranteed success rate?

She needs to confirm this as soon as possible! But all the trash for today has already been dealt with, so she can continue searching for treasure chests tomorrow.

Suddenly remembering her sister's missing person notice from yesterday, Lin Zhaoyin had an idea.

She posted a trade notice in the mall's trading area: exchange 100ml of water for 10 pieces of trash, any type.

Trash is useless to others, and everyone needs water. Remembering how many unlucky players complained of running out of water and food yesterday, Lin Zhaoyin decided to give it a try. She currently had plenty of water, so even if she only got materials, it wouldn't be a loss.

The transaction was successful in less than a minute after it was sent.

With these 10 newly acquired junk items, Lin Zhaoyin felt she needed to plan carefully and save the junk items most likely to yield good items for last.

At this moment, Lin Zhaoyin was unaware that she had once again sparked a heated discussion in the chat channel, and was focused on examining the trash in her hands.

The trash from the trade mostly consisted of broken plastic and glass containers. After rummaging through them for a while, Lin Zhaoyin found a round stone covered in moss. She had never unearthed a stone before, and this one had a very regular shape, so maybe it held some promise.

Use all the skills on the other trash items in order, and then get to the stone last.

Sure enough, the stone emitted its familiar light again, and the moss on it disappeared, leaving it smooth and lustrous.

Lin Zhaoyin was overjoyed; she had made the right choice!
