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

Lin Zhaoyin and Lin Wanyi had anticipated what would happen tomorrow. If this were a game, then after the newbie protection period, there would probably be monster attacks.

Although Lin Zhaoyin only has a stone axe that hasn't even been crafted yet as a weapon, her attack and agility are both very high. If the monsters' strength increases based on the game's progress, then it's not a big problem.

Lin Wanyi had also acquired a set of bows and arrows early on. Although there were only 10 arrows, they could automatically replenish, replenishing 1 arrow every 3 minutes. As long as there weren't too many monsters, it should be enough.

Furthermore, Lin Wanyi also acquired the combat skill "Sharpshooter," which consumes 20 stamina points and guarantees a hit on the enemy, with a 30% chance of a critical hit. This greatly increases her chances of defeating those monsters.

Both characters are currently level 2 and need less than 100 more experience points to level up. After leveling up, their attributes will be comprehensively improved. However, the only known ways to gain experience points are fishing for treasure chests, crafting, and cooking. It's uncertain whether they can level up before the monsters appear tomorrow.

Previously, someone shared a tutorial on setting up automatic leveling in the chat channel. After setting it up, it will level up automatically as soon as the experience points are full, and the 10 attribute points gained from leveling up will be automatically allocated according to the settings.

Lin Zhaoyin set her attack to 4, defense to 3, and agility to 3. Since her attack had already been boosted by the magical banana, she simply maximized her attack attribute.

There are still 4 magical bananas left, so Lin Zhaoyin gave two to her younger sister. At this point, the more attribute boosts the better.

Lin Wanyi didn't refuse; refusing at this point would only make her sister worry.

The two chatted until dusk, then Lin Zhaoyin went to cook. Lin Wanyi happened to have received a small bag of rice that day, so she sent it directly to Lin Zhaoyin.

With rice, Lin Zhaoyin can make a pot of seafood porridge today.

Lin Zhaoyin possesses culinary skills, and compared to the 10 cooking experience points, the passively triggered skill is more useful. Even if it takes 10 tries to guarantee a high reward, they are eager to see what kind of travel bonus it will provide after triggering.

So the two sisters discussed it and decided that from now on, all the ingredients would be provided to Lin Zhaoyin, who would be in charge of cooking.

After finishing her porridge, Lin Zhaoyin took out the glass window she had just completed and then began making a stone axe.

Lin Zhaoyin placed the glass window next to the door. With this window, she could see the outside world from inside the wooden house.

[Glass windows: Besides bringing light into your room, they are also very sturdy, increasing the cabin's defense by +2]

The glass window was very practical, and she decided that once the stone axe was finished, she would make a window for her sister as well.

However, there's one downside to having glass windows: it makes me feel like I'm losing some privacy. I wish I could install curtains in the future.

By the time the stone axe was finished, it was completely dark. If it weren't for the fact that it was still the newbie protection period, Lin Zhaoyin really wouldn't have dared to go out.

[Stone Axe: D-grade weapon, deals melee physical damage to enemies, attack 5, critical damage 1%]

If I can upgrade smoothly tomorrow, I will have an attack power of over 20.

Putting away the stone axe, Lin Zhaoyin began the final round of garbage purification for the day. Based on her previous predictions, she used banana peels as a safety net, and surprisingly, she successfully purified a second bunch of magical bananas, which, like the original, also randomly added a small attribute.

Despite having suspected it beforehand, Lin Zhaoyin was still very happy to have the result confirmed. However, the thought of tomorrow's uncertainty quickly dissipated her good mood.

It was getting late, so Lin Zhaoyin decided to go to bed early. As for the glass window for her sister, she could pick it up early the next morning.

That night, almost everyone slept poorly, but in order to regain their strength, they had to force themselves to fall asleep.

Day 4 of the game calendar, light haze, 17 degrees Celsius.

Lin Zhaoyin woke up just as dawn broke. After glancing at the sky outside, she decided to go out and take down the glass window to send to her younger sister.

Now that she had bananas to herself, Lin Zhaoyin ate the two bananas she had left over to ensure she had enough attributes to deal with the impending danger.

Stamina +20, Attack +2

Another attack! She asked Lin Wanyi yesterday, and her sister said that both bananas increased her agility. Perhaps this kind of random attribute allocation will have different preferences for each person.

Putting her thoughts aside, Lin Zhaoyin sat in her room and started tidying up the trash again. This time, her best chance was that most of a glove had been purified into a good pair. Unfortunately, it wasn't equipment; it was just ordinary warm clothing.

A thin fog still shrouded the outside, making her feel uneasy. But thinking that she was only 70 experience points away from leveling up, Lin Zhaoyin gritted her teeth and went out with her fishing net and rod.

After sitting nervously by the sea for an hour, Lin Zhaoyin had already fished up two treasure chests, and it was now 8 o'clock.

[Ding! Congratulations to all players for successfully completing the new player protection period and entering the Cataclysm chapter of the post-apocalyptic survival game...]

Every 7 days, players will face a random natural disaster. The disasters continue, and the danger never ends. Players, accept the challenge!

Just as the game's sound disappeared, Lin Zhaoyin felt a wet sensation on her ankle. Looking down, she saw a giant octopus.

[Dead Sea Octopus, Level 1, Race: Siren, Attack 5, Defense 6, Agility 3]

Almost instinctively, Lin Zhaoyin summoned a stone axe from her system inventory and cleaved the octopus tentacle in two. The octopus monster then began to dart around wildly.

Lin Zhaoyin's current attributes are completely overwhelming, so she is not afraid at all and swings her stone axe to chop at the nearly half-meter-tall octopus.

Although we can't see the health bar, since the monster has a level, it should be calculated using the same method as the player's stats. A level 1 monster should only have 100 health points. With her attack power of 19 points per hit, she should be able to kill it in a maximum of 8 hits!

The giant octopus wasn't as fast as Lin Zhaoyin, so she chased after it and kept attacking it.

But this octopus monster was no pushover; taking advantage of Lin Zhaoyin's momentary lapse in attention, it sprayed a puddle of ink at her.

[The player has been attacked and is now poisoned, losing 10 health points per minute for 5 minutes.]

We must finish this quickly! Lin Zhaoyin increased her speed and slashed at the octopus monster even harder, and sure enough, she killed the octopus monster on the 8th strike.

Her guess about the algorithm was correct: actual attack power = her own attack value - the enemy's defense value!

You have killed a level 1 Dead Sea octopus, gaining 10 experience points, 5 octopus meat, and 1 venom.

Before the poisoning had subsided, Lin Zhaoyin returned to the cabin to rest.

At the same time, she opened the chat box and sent what she knew to her sister. They could definitely fight against such low-level, low-attribute monsters!

After thinking for a moment, she copied and pasted this information and posted it to the public channel.

[Thanks for the tip, there's another level 1 monster outside my cabin. Since I can fight it, I'll go for it!]

[This game doesn't seem too difficult, so I can finally relax.]

Don't let your guard down! This is just the game testing the waters with some level 1 monsters; who knows what will happen later?

After the five-minute poisoning effect ended, Lin Zhaoyin had 150 health points remaining. Health and stamina regenerate at the same rate, 10% per hour. To be on the safe side, Lin Zhaoyin decided to wait half an hour until her health was full before going out.
