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

Lin Zhaoyin touched the stone, and the information displayed: [Size Expansion Stone, each size expansion stone increases backpack capacity by 5 slots]

Although I didn't have much to store in my backpack for the time being, I knew that 20 slots would definitely not be enough, so I immediately chose to use it.

Energy points automatically regenerate at 10% per hour. Lin Zhaoyin thought for a moment and figured that as long as her energy points exceeded 100 points in the next two days, she could go find someone to exchange junk. Anyway, she didn't need to fight monsters yet, so it would be a waste not to use her energy points.

So Lin Zhaoyin completed another transaction of exchanging water for garbage, and then she began to rest. She needed to rest for a while to accumulate enough energy before she could continue operating the garbage collection service.

I opened the chat room and was almost startled. The chat area was filled with people discussing their two transactions.

Yesterday, my sister's transaction could be interpreted as a search for relatives, but my own transaction has sparked a lot of discussion.

Could this anonymous player be an NPC? Who in their right mind would need junk?

【How is that possible? This game is trying to kill us! How could there be an NPC doing good deeds like that?】

[I have to say, this player really saved my life. Even though there was only 100ml of water, at least I managed to get through it.]

Yes, everyone's resources are scarce right now. I wouldn't want to exchange water for trash.

There are no good people out there. I think maybe they got some special skill that requires trash to complete!

Regardless, the outcome is good; we had no use for that garbage anyway.

The Garbage King felt guilty and dared not look at the chat room anymore. Just then, the wooden bed was finished, so Lin Zhaoyin moved it into the wooden house and then started making the water bucket.

Who knows what will happen after the beginner period? She needs to collect as much drinking water as possible in these two days.

After finishing these tasks, Lin Zhaoyin went to check on the net's location. The fishing net had no instructions; it would automatically catch fish but wouldn't remind her when to haul it in.

Lin Zhaoyin waited for about two hours before taking in the fishing net.

It took some effort to haul in the fishing nets, and we caught all sorts of things.

The information on the fishing net says it will catch marine life, so why is there trash in it?

After sorting through the trash, Lin Zhaoyin finally managed to separate the garbage from the food. She managed to retrieve six large abalones and some seaweed.

But now the problem is, she doesn't have any cooking utensils, so how is she supposed to eat? And the information about this abalone says it can't be eaten raw, so even if she wants to eat abalone sashimi, she can't.

Fortunately, she was not fighting alone. She asked her sister, who indeed had a knife and a flint.

Lin Zhaoyin: [I checked, and I can make an iron pot using the crafting table. Could you lend me your knife and flint? It would be best if you could also sponsor me a few pieces of wood, so we can have seafood soup tonight.]

Lin Wanyi quickly sent the food over. [With my sister's child, I'm a treasure; now I can finally enjoy seafood soup!]

Although Lin Wan-yi has been able to get a lot of food these past two days, most of it is ready-to-eat food, and she hasn't had any hot food in a long time.

When Lin Zhaoyin saw the planks that had been delivered with them, she slapped her thigh in anger. How could she forget that her younger sister had a high luck stat? She should have kept the box for her sister to help break down, so that she wouldn't be so short of planks!

However, after Lin Zhaoyin sent the message, Lin Wanyi remained silent for a long time before finally recovering.

[Sis, why didn't you just send me the treasure chest to open?]

The two remained silent for a long time, both regretting not having thought of this sooner. They then agreed that Lin Wanyi would help Lin Zhaoyin open all the treasure chests she caught the next day.

Opening chests doesn't consume any stats, but it does require luck as an aid. Since Lin Zhaoyin's chests don't yield junk items, she can collect other people's junk, gaining an extra 10 items daily!

Lin Zhaoyin happily started cooking. Her cooking skills weren't great, but making soup was relatively easy. All she had to do was clean the abalone, remove the innards, and cut the kelp before cooking it.

Moreover, since seafood itself has a flavor, the salt that Lin Zhaoyin had just collected today was not used.

Lin Zhaoyin ladled out a bowl of seafood soup and sent it over through the chat system, while also returning the knife and flint.

However, Lin Wanyi returned the flint and steel. She had gotten two today, enough for one for each of them.

So Lin Zhaoyin didn't refuse, and said she would cook more delicious food for her sister whenever she had the chance.

After finishing a bowl of hot seafood soup, Lin Zhaoyin let out a satisfied sigh.

[Ding! Congratulations on becoming one of the first 100 players to trigger the cooking quest! Natural ingredients, naturally delicious dishes! You will gain the advanced cooking skill: Master Chef. This skill is passively triggered and has a 50% chance to cook dishes with special functions.]

If Lin Zhaoyin's guess is correct, all probability skills likely have a guaranteed minimum. As someone with terrible luck, she can't rely on the 50% probability; only the guaranteed minimum represents her true chances.

After finishing her meal, Lin Zhaoyin quickly tidied up and then began using her skills to purify the trash she had collected.

Nothing special was found in the trash this time, so Lin Zhaoyin kept the two detached sneakers until the end. After cleaning them, she got a new pair of shoes.

[XX Brand Sports Shoes: Grade D equipment, grants +5 Agility, allowing you to run like the wind!]

Lin Zhaoyin originally thought this was just a warm item, but she never expected it to evolve into equipment.

New players currently have low stats. According to the information discussed in the chat room, everyone's initial stats are at most 10 points per attribute. Even if they can level up in the next couple of days, it won't be much.

These 5 points of agility can be a life-changing piece of equipment. Not to mention anything else, when monsters come, you'll be able to run faster.

Indeed, one should not underestimate any piece of trash. Who knows what amazing things trash can become after being turned into treasure!

Today's harvest was truly bountiful. Not only did I find a lot of treasures from junk, but I also gained a new skill.

In terms of supplies, things are also improving rapidly. With amazing potted plants, water purifiers, and fishing nets, Lin Zhaoyin no longer needs to worry too much about basic survival issues. She can now not only support herself but also has the capacity to help her sister, exchanging resources and skills.

Before going to bed, Lin Zhaoyin submitted another junk transaction, so that when she woke up the next morning, she could open the junk first before getting to work.

Lying on the hard wooden bed, Lin Zhaoyin felt unusually at ease today. Even though she was in this bizarre apocalyptic game, as long as she tried, there was always a way to survive.

Day 3 of the game calendar, sunny, 25 degrees Celsius.

At 7 a.m., Lin Zhaoyin woke up on the wooden bed, drank some water, and then took out a magical banana and ate it.

Stamina +10, Attack +1

Lin Zhaoyin stared blankly at the banana peel in her hand. She had already eaten three magical bananas, but each time they only increased her attack power. Didn't the description say that they increased random attributes?
