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

Lin Zhaoyin practically ran into the fields. The plastic sheeting covering the potato and watermelon fields was already riddled with holes and was practically useless.

I crouched down and examined it carefully. The potatoes were growing in the ground, but I didn't know what the ground was like. However, there were obvious scorch marks on the leaves on the ground.

The four watermelons in the watermelon patch have grown to a diameter of 20 centimeters, but both the watermelon vines and the surface of the watermelon rinds have spots of corrosion.

The apple tree had several small branches snapped off during the thunderstorm, and now the leaves also have some spots of damage, but the trunk is not visible to the naked eye at the moment.

[Potatoes, ripening stage, 18 hours remaining until fruit set]

[Amazing watermelon, ripening stage, only 19 hours left until fruit set (crop damaged by acid rain)]

[The Amazing Apple: Dormant Period, 10 Hours Left Until Ripening (Crop Damaged by Acid Rain)]

Perhaps because potatoes are root crops, buried underground, only watermelons and apples showed signs of crop erosion. However, the growth countdown is normal, indicating that they can still bear fruit, which may directly affect the quality of the produce.

Lin Zhaoyin didn't know what the situation would be like tomorrow, and she couldn't let the two plots of land continue to be exposed like this.

Regardless of the fact that it was late at night, Lin Zhaoyin quickly went back to the shelter and brought back two more pieces of plastic sheeting.

Tear off the old, tattered plastic sheet and cover it with a new one.

In the pitch black of night, Lin Zhaoyin worked up a sweat again while tending to her land.

Lin Zhaoyin also recycled the torn plastic scraps, after all, she is a professional garbage collector and the queen of garbage.

Between fighting monsters and protecting the land, Lin Zhaoyin's stamina dropped by half. After finishing, she went back and fell asleep immediately.

Day 29 of the game calendar, typhoon level 15, 12 degrees Celsius.

The island was battered by wind and rain, but the players remained calm and composed.

Having learned from the experience of the past few days, everyone stopped worrying about when the monsters would appear. They'll come back when they're meant to.

Even when the weather is so bad that you can't go out, no monsters will come, so everyone should just stay in the shelter.

But everyone guessed wrong. How could the game system possibly let players figure out its tricks?

At 9 a.m., a wave of level 2 jellyfish landed on the island. The players braved the wind and rain to go out and fight the monsters. Fortunately, the monsters were low level, and everyone quickly killed all the level 2 jellyfish.

At 10 a.m., a group of level 3 jellyfish landed on the island...

At 11 a.m., a group of level 4 jellyfish landed on the island...

The players finally realized something was wrong; the monsters were getting higher and higher. If this continued, they would soon be overwhelmed by these jellyfish that had come ashore.

However, at noon, the expected level 5 jellyfish did not appear. Instead, at 1 p.m., a level 6 jellyfish appeared on the island.

Lin Zhaoyin had a vague guess: if the appearance of jellyfish was patterned, with the morning showing an increase in their level, would the afternoon show a change in their quantity?

At 2 p.m., Lin Zhaoyin's guess was confirmed: two level 6 jellyfish arrived, and at 3 p.m., three arrived.

Players gradually began to find it difficult, but after fighting the jellyfish round after round, everyone gained an understanding of the jellyfish's weaknesses and characteristics, so although it was difficult, they were not completely helpless.

Jellyfish are not difficult to attack, but their venom has a paralyzing effect, so it's easy to get venomous if you attack them in close combat.

After acquiring flight equipment, Lin Zhaoyin would simply take off whenever she encountered a dangerous opponent in close combat.

The jellyfish's venom attack range is only about one meter, but Lin Zhaoyin's Ice Soul Needle has a range of 5 meters.

Lin Zhaoyin kept the distance between herself and the jellyfish at about 3 meters, and then used these jellyfish as her practice targets.

However, practicing shooting in such weather is indeed very difficult. Even with wings to stabilize her body, Lin Zhaoyin's weight often makes her sway from side to side by the wind. She needs to multitask, firing Ice Soul Needles while strengthening her willpower to stabilize her flight.

If anything distracts her, her wings might momentarily go out of control in the storm.

By the time the round ended at 5 PM, Lin Zhaoyin's experience bar had reached level 7 (4770/4900). She had earned over 1000 experience points in a day, and with another round, she would level up again.

However, the monsters during the day usually stop respawning at 5 PM, and then you have to wait for the night raid.

By this time, all the players were exhausted. In the afternoon, many players would fight a wave of monsters and then take a nap, trying to recover their stamina as quickly as possible.

However, fighting once every hour makes it impossible for people to rest properly, and the amount of stamina that can be restored is negligible.

Compared to the other two values, Lin Zhaoyin's increase in stamina was the least. Her energy had reached 1200 thanks to the magical apple, but her stamina was stuck at 850.

However, Lin Zhaoyin has a magical bonsai, whose attribute bonuses are already higher than those of ordinary players. Some players have never obtained any attribute-boosting items and can only rely on level-up rewards to survive.

Lin Zhaoyin didn't feel like cooking tonight, so she and her sister ate a small bread and an apple each to fill their stomachs, and then went to bed.

No matter when the next wave of monsters comes, now is the best opportunity to recover your stamina.

Before the night raid, I could at least get two more hours of sleep.

I don't know if this lousy game suddenly had a change of heart, but the night raid started at midnight.

The jellyfish that arrived were still level 6, but the number increased to 10.

Lin Zhaoyin felt that this was a way to make up for the monsters that the players had missed in the past few days, all at once today!

Although I had slept for 6 hours and my physical strength had recovered by more than half, my mental fatigue had not improved.

Fortunately, the weather has improved a lot now. The wind is still strong, but the rain has stopped.

Without raincoats, everyone felt much lighter when fighting monsters.

Lin Zhaoyin's energy was already full, so she had no intention of engaging in a protracted battle. She didn't even want the damage from the Ice Soul Needle anymore and immediately started using her area-of-effect attack, "Match-3," on the jellyfish monsters.

With this skill, Lin Zhaoyin never worries about encountering groups of monsters of the same type coming to her door.

To deal the highest damage with the least amount of resources is much easier than painstakingly killing monsters one by one.

Lin Zhaoyin had no intention of conserving her energy points and ended the battle in 10 minutes with just one match-3 puzzle.

You have killed 10 level 6 jellyfish in the sea, gaining 600 experience points and 100 gold coins.

[Congratulations on reaching level 8! Your free attribute points have been automatically allocated.]
