The next morning, the rain had stopped, and sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, scattering across the ground.Beneath the dappled shadows of the trees, Yúntūn let out a cheerful cry.Yun Luohe was by the pond, processing wolf meat, while Yúntūn hopped around beside her.“Baby, I’ll roast some meat to eat in a bit, then I’ll help you find something too. Are you hungry?”“I’m not hungry. I eat anything,” Yúntūn replied obediently.Yun Luohe laughed and teased, “You eat anything? Then do you eat dirt?”Yúntūn immediately stopped and lay down on the ground. “Dirt can be eaten too, but it doesn’t taste good.”Yun Luohe laughed so hard her stomach hurt. “You really would eat it, huh? Don’t. I’ll take you to find something tasty later.”Yúntūn: “Okay!”She washed the wolf meat clean, cut it into small pieces, skewered it on bamboo sticks, and brought it back to the shelter to make roasted meat.Around the shelter, Yun Luohe had laid down many markers—if anyone came by, she’d be able to tell at a glance.After returning, she carefully inspected the area. Confirming that no one had come, she rekindled the fire and set up the grill.There were still some [wild yam] leftovers from yesterday. She warmed them over the charcoal fire that morning and could now eat them again.She ate the yam while roasting the meat.The fire burned hot under her careful tending. The fat sizzled under the high heat, and the meat visibly changed color, from red to a golden crisp.A rich aroma of roasted meat instantly filled the air.Yun Luohe had Level 4 cooking skills. Even without seasoning, her simple roasting technique produced incredibly delicious results.The meat had a crispy exterior and was tender and juicy inside. The complex textures clashed in the mouth, the smoky charcoal scent blending perfectly with the meat’s flavor—each bite was deeply satisfying.She paired the roasted meat with sweet, non-greasy yam—it turned out to be a surprisingly good combination.She ate quickly, making the viewers watching her stream salivate.“Who the hell eats roasted meat so early in the morning!”“I want some too. That smells amazing just through the screen.”“Forget it, I’ll grill some fish for breakfast. Fish counts as meat, right?”“She’s just living off what the reef gives her, but I’m not jealous of the island players—those chunks of meat are traded with blood. If it were me, I wouldn’t be eating the meat, I’d be the one getting eaten by wolves.”“I just want to know if Yun Luohe will sell roasted meat when she gets back.”—Yun Luohe planned to go look for [fluorite] and petroleum today.According to reports, the [fluorite] veins were located in the eastern interior of Mist Veil Island. One had to go deep inside to find them.Each rainfall also washed away and revealed new mineral points.Since the rain had been heavy last night, she should be able to find something today.She planned to cross a mountain and follow the stream east. As for petroleum—it was located in the northeast. She’d prioritize the [fluorite].If the journey wasn’t too far, she hoped to return by evening. She didn’t have time to build a new shelter again.Without a shelter, it would be dangerous. The rain at night was intense. Last night, she only warmed up after drinking [mist veiled tea], but if she were soaked too long, even that tea wouldn’t be much help.Before setting off, Yun Luohe disguised her shelter once again and took all her belongings with her, leaving behind only an empty frame.After crossing the mountain, she hadn’t gone far—When Yun Luohe encountered two other groups of players.They all seemed like temporary teams formed for convenience.One group consisted of three people. Their point totals weren’t high—mostly around 100 points. When they saw Yun Luohe’s high score, they only reacted with visible shock.One of the women approached Yun Luohe to ask for information.Seeing that they didn’t seem hostile, Yun Luohe answered her.She even traded a piece of wolf meat from her pack for some wild fruit from them.She had killed seven wolves yesterday. Her backpack now held over 300 pieces of wolf meat—there was no way she could eat it all.One piece of wolf meat for five pieces of wild fruit—that group was thrilled with the trade.The second group was a four-person team. Their average score was around 150, and they were a bit stronger.When they saw Yun Luohe traveling alone, they wanted to rob her of her supplies.They told her that if she left her supplies behind, she could walk away.They clearly had no intention of killing her.Yun Luohe looked at the four of them and smiled. “My stuff—either you don’t take it, or how about you four leave your supplies instead?”Her arrogant remark enraged them.“You should be grateful we’re not killing you. Do you really think we won’t do anything to you?”“You think you can take on all four of us alone?”“If it weren’t for avoiding red-name status, we’d take your life and your gear.”“Stop wasting time. I don’t hit women, but tie her up first and we’ll deal with her later.”Yun Luohe smiled. “You’re afraid of going red-name? I’m not. I wonder how many points I’d get for taking down four of you.”Her tone was scornful, as if she didn’t consider the four of them a threat at all.She could tell at a glance—they were weak. Her [Perception] skill hadn’t given her any danger alerts, which proved they weren’t worth worrying about.—“God, Yun Luohe’s arrogance is so damn satisfying!”“No wonder she’s—”“Cut the chatter. Just fight. Four people or not, I believe Yun Luohe can win.”“All four of them have 150 points each. They’re not weak. Let’s see her go 1v4.”“She took down seven wolves yesterday—what’s four people?”“People aren’t the same as wolves!”“Some people are worse than wolves.”“Stop arguing. Watch and see.”—Minutes later, Yun Luohe stepped on the face of the man who had been shouting about tying her up, smearing mud across his bruised and swollen face.The man had been beaten black and blue—and Yun Luohe hadn’t even used any weapons.The other three lay on the ground groaning.Yun Luohe’s hand-to-hand combat was excellent. For trash like these, she didn’t even need weapons to deal with them.She didn’t intend to kill anyone—but since they tried to steal her supplies, of course they had to leave theirs behind too.Otherwise, it wouldn’t be fair.Just then, Yúntūn returned from scouting. Yun Luohe instructed it to bind them up with its silk and hang them from the trees.She made them toss out everything they were carrying.At first, they tried to be sneaky, only handing over a little.But Yun Luohe could tell just from their point totals that they had more than that.The dishonest ones got another round of beating.Half an hour later, Yun Luohe had picked up all the usable supplies «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» from the ground. Her backpack was now stuffed full.The four’s combined inventory was actually quite decent.Over a thousand pieces of wood, three hundred units of [pine resin], more than a hundred pieces of [flint], along with wild vegetables and fruit, a dozen [glow ferns], ten bundles of [oil moss], and even a small barrel of petroleum. ****[Glow fern]: Grows in damp cave environments. Leaves contain bioluminescent cells, emit faint blue light when touched. Can be cooked into vegetable soup to enhance night vision.[Oil moss]: Dark green velvety moss. Grows on oil-rich rocks. When squeezed, produces flammable oil. Can be dried to make moss bandages that speed up blood clotting.—Not bad at all. Supplies delivered right to her door—she made a killing.Yun Luohe was in a good mood.She washed some wild fruit by a stream and munched on them as she continued her journey.Resources on Mist Veil Island were surprisingly good. Just now, while washing fruit, she spotted a kind of medicinal moss growing on the bark of a pine tree by the stream.[High-grade medicinal moss]: Can be used to make hemostatics and antipyretics.There wasn’t much of it.But it was a useful resource. Even without a proper setup to process it into medicine, she could use it to press onto wounds in emergencies—it would probably still stop bleeding.Next time she saw a pine tree, she’d take a closer look. [Mist veiled tea] also grew on pine trees, and since the whole island was full of them, it was easy to overlook other resources growing there.——With Yúntūn scouting ahead, Yun Luohe quickly found signs of a [fluorite] vein.After walking about two kilometers and crossing another mountain, she spotted exposed [fluorite] glittering in the sunlight at the base of a nearby peak.She dug up every visible piece but only found a few.They were probably just fragments washed down by the rain.But it confirmed that a [fluorite] vein had to be nearby.Complete [fluorite] was a blue-violet cubic crystal, though it also appeared in broken chunks. The stone was only slightly harder than glass and shattered easily.Under the sunlight, it looked beautiful—almost like blue crystal.Yun Luohe had Yúntūn search the surrounding area to see if it could locate more stones of the same color.They were now deep in Mist Veil Island’s interior, where the mist was denser. The air was saturated with moisture, and each breath felt piercingly cold.Visibility was reduced to around five meters at most.
