Over the past three days, Roubao had fished up a total of eight clams, all of which were placed inside the house, waiting for Yun Luohe to return and open them.Adding today’s three, Yun Luohe immediately opened all eleven clams in one go.Out came a large pile of daily necessities and resources—and, of course, all sorts of trash.The most important among them was a blueprint: Tempered Glass Blueprint.Tempered glass was one of the main materials required for building the cellar.Yun Luohe immediately pulled out the blueprint to examine it.Turns out, the material for tempered glass was [Obsidian], but it required the addition of refined steel, combined and smelted with ordinary glass inside the smelting furnace to produce the final product.She already had all the materials, so Yun Luohe wasted no time and got to work.One piece of [Obsidian] could yield five tempered glass panels.The cellar needed fifty, which meant she needed ten pieces of [Obsidian].If not for the fifty pieces of [Obsidian] she’d received as a reward from the last competition, Yun Luohe really wouldn’t have been willing to spend them.But—if you don’t sacrifice the child, you can’t catch the wolf. The cellar had to be built.—The job of throwing out trash was now completely handled by Yúntūn and Roubao.The two had formed an assembly line.Yúntūn used spider silk to pull garbage out from the resource chests, while Roubao was in charge of dumping it into the trash bin.With the cat and spider working together, Yun Luohe could finally focus on other things.This time, Mu Zitang had helped her gather a lot of parchment fragments.There were ten fragments in total, and Yun Luohe needed to decide how to deal with them.She could either synthesize a full blueprint by combining three fragments, or toss them into the trash bin with extra components to «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» upgrade and transform them.Each method had its own advantages.Three parchment fragments could create a planting guide or a special illustrated manual.But upgrading them in the trash bin might produce skill-related books that could boost skill proficiency.Yun Luohe decided to directly synthesize six of them, and use the remaining five with other materials in the trash bin to create value from trash.She clicked “Synthesize,” and the parchment fragments were wrapped in white light.——《Chicken-Raising Secrets》——《The Beekeeper: Ecological Beekeeping Techniques》Two livestock-raising guides were now in her hands.Yun Luohe’s eyes lit up.Just in time—she didn’t know the first thing about raising chickens or bees. Now she could learn properly.She immediately opened Chicken-Raising Secrets.The booklet was only a few pages. The first page explained how to make improved chicken feed that would boost egg production and help chickens grow faster and healthier.Different chickens needed different feed; chicks and adult chickens couldn’t eat the same thing.The next few pages covered how to upgrade the chicken coop and how to utilize various chicken by-products.Even just the section on chicken feed was incredibly useful for Yun Luohe.It described two feed recipes:Worm Protein Powder: Dry and crush earthworms, mix with 30% grain flour—either corn or wheat—then add 5% [Mist Veiled Tea] residue. Form into pellets. The benefit of this feed was its high protein content.Fermented Feed: Earthworm mucus mixed with crushed grains and yogurt, sealed and fermented for 72 hours to produce active enzymes. This feed could improve a chicken’s immunity.The recipes were clearly laid out with exact proportions. Although Yun Luohe was still missing grain and yogurt, those could either be grown or bought from the trading center.The later pages got more complicated. Upgrading the chicken coop required a lot of equipment, including automatic egg collectors and fluorite-based temperature control systems.The other guidebook—on beekeeping—described how to increase pollination yields and produce honey, along with various beehive construction methods.Where best to place beehives… how to use honey to attract wild bee swarms…There were also sections on hive upgrades, how to make heat-resistant and cold-resistant beehives, and what materials were needed.If there were no flowers outdoors, the booklet suggested alternatives for nectar sources.It introduced two simple solutions: planting wild chrysanthemum—drought-resistant and nectar-rich—or building wetland zones to grow lotus flowers, which were excellent nectar sources and produced large quantities of honey.Additionally, it was possible to make honeydew collectors and hang them from trees to gather secretions from aphids, though that method was harder to implement.Yun Luohe was very satisfied with both guides.Next, she pulled out a few damaged blueprints, planning to fuse one with two parchment fragments to try a hybrid synthesis.Let’s see what it would turn into.She threw two parchment fragments and one damaged blueprint into the trash bin.[Value from trash, upgrade successful!]Yun Luohe received a special blueprint — [Mushroom Cultivation Stump][Mushroom Cultivation Stump: Can be used to grow various mushrooms with compatible spores. Must be placed outdoors to produce mushrooms. They grow the morning after rainfall.][Crafting Materials: Pine Wood ×2, Spores ×10, Mist Veiled Tea Extract ×5L]Spores could be gathered from mushrooms or substituted with full mushroom caps.She had brought mushrooms back from Swamp Island, but only had a few rare specimens left—she’d assumed she wouldn’t get any more. Now—Even though it was only a single blueprint and not as detailed as the guidebooks, it was still exactly what Yun Luohe needed.She decided to hold onto it—just in case.Then, Yun Luohe began her daily lottery draws.She hadn’t been on the reef for three days, which meant she’d missed three lottery chances from the trash bin. She wasn’t going to forget today.【Draw Successful】【Obtained: Vertical Earthworm Breeding Tower Blueprint ×1】[Vertical Earthworm Breeding Tower: Holds up to 50,000 mutated earthworms. Takes up little space. Can process thousands of pounds of organic waste daily. Breeds giant mutant earthworms. Increases soil regeneration efficiency by 30%. Automatically produces earthworm mucus and castings.][Special Structure: Drawer layers come with a temperature control system—pull out to cool in summer, push into geothermal zone in winter.][Crafting Materials: Pine Wood ×500, High-Temperature Glass ×20, Tempered Glass ×20, [Crude Oil] ×30L, Volcanic Ash ×50, Black Metal Shards ×2, [Glow Fern] ×30, [Symbiotic Crystal] Shards ×5, Bamboo Tubes ×50]Now that was a blueprint worth something.Who would've thought earthworms could be raised like this? That was next-level stuff!If she could build that breeding tower, she’d never have to worry about chicken feed again, no matter how many chickens she raised.Besides, earthworms dramatically improved soil quality. The farmlands on her reef had already turned into rich, fertile land thanks to the worms she’d raised before.To further expand her farmland, she would definitely need even more earthworms.And just now, the chicken guide had mentioned that earthworms could be made into high-quality feed. Clearly, the more the better.However, the crafting materials were pretty demanding—a lot of rare resources.Looked like she really needed to make time for a trip to Volcano Island.More and more blueprints were starting to require volcanic ash—bread ovens, alert towers...—The next morning, Yun Luohe got to work crafting everything she could with the materials on hand.She kept a portion of the [Fluorite] and [Crude Oil] she’d brought back and set aside 100L of oil into the storage tank.The oil tank had been made by Si Qi, using waterproof and fire-resistant materials. She’d made several and shared them in the group—most people had one.Yun Luohe also set aside 10L of oil to make [Crude Oil First Aid Salve].Summer hadn’t started yet, but she wanted to be prepared. The 10L of oil produced 50 salves.She planted the [Mist Veil Pine] on the north side of the reef, in a wind-sheltered area. Based on the pine tree’s unique growth traits, this location would help the [Mist Veiled Tea] grow faster.She threw the broken [Symbiotic Crystal] device into the trash bin for repair and received a compact version in return. It was smaller than the original, but at least it was whole again—though its effectiveness was probably reduced.She handed it, along with the [Water Crystal Core] and the giant octopus, to Si Qi and asked her to research how to improve energy conduction through the device, and to test the compatibility between the octopus and the water-element core.If the octopus didn’t work, they’d need to find another aquatic creature—and Yun Luohe would go capture one for her.Si Qi was extremely interested once she received the items. She dropped everything else and immediately began drafting a new research plan.She had been working on the [Symbiotic Crystal] for a long time but had hit a dead end. Now that Yun Luohe had provided a new direction, of course she was thrilled.The wild pears and jujubes she brought back were split—some went into the sauce vat, some into the dehydrator—to make preserves and dried fruit.The [Oil Moss] and [High-Grade Medicinal Moss], along with their recipes, Yun Luohe also handed over to Si Qi for use in making [Moss Bandages].A lot of players had gotten injured on Mist Veil Island and had come back looking for hemostatic meds. Since Yun Luohe had the formula—but not the alchemy skill—it made sense to let Si Qi handle production and gain skill XP while she was at it.Technically, Yun Luohe could learn alchemy herself if she traded for the skill book and gathered enough materials.But she was currently focused on raising her cooking and gathering skills. Mining had only just hit Level 2—there just wasn’t time or energy to master every skill.Trying to do everything often meant mastering nothing.Once she got cooking and gathering to Level 5 or higher, then she’d consider expanding her repertoire.The tempered glass was finally done. Today, she planned to finish building the cellar.She had been missing [Bronze Gears], but yesterday’s clam-opening yielded two broken ones.Yun Luohe tossed them into the trash bin with refined steel and managed to turn them into intact [Bronze Gears], which meant the [Temperature Control Unit] now only needed copper ore.She remembered that she’d once tossed water-damaged batteries into the trash and got copper ore out.So she repeated that process and quickly gathered enough.She placed the materials and blueprint on the workbench.The screen lit up, displaying the [Temperature Control Unit]’s full appearance and a countdown to completion.Half an hour later, it was finished.Yun Luohe took the unit to the cellar construction site.Building the cellar would take 10 hours. She wouldn’t know what it looked like until nighttime.Next, she began preparing materials for the greenhouse.Ten vertical grow racks required 50 pieces of [Obsidian].She’d just used up ten to make tempered glass the day before, which left her a few short.She decided to sell some things to trade—posting high-quality food, [Moss Bandages], and [Crude Oil First Aid Salves] on the trading center in exchange for [Obsidian] or [High-Temperature Glass].She also reached out to Mu Zitang and asked around the Mutual Aid Association for anyone willing to trade.Then she contacted Lin Zhu and Du Ruan-tian.Both of them probably had some [Obsidian] on hand.As long as she offered valuable enough goods, she should be able to trade for a few pieces.But before she even had the chance to talk to them—Everything she’d listed on the trading center got bought out instantly.She ended up trading for 5 pieces of [Obsidian] and 5 sheets of [High-Temperature Glass].Building the greenhouse required 100 sheets of [High-Temperature Glass].Since someone out there had that much to trade, maybe they knew how to make it.Yun Luohe opened the buyer’s info.They were from the Lucky Draw Association.It was listed in their personal info—players from that group always marked it.Yun Luohe thought about it and decided to contact Du Ruan-tian.Last time on Mist Veil Island, they’d fought side by side. Their relationship had grown closer.They’d stayed in touch over the past couple of days, though both were busy and had only exchanged useful updates.Yun Luohe: “Can I buy high-temperature glass from you? I need 100 sheets.”Du Ruan-tian: “You’re building a greenhouse, right?”Yun Luohe: “Yeah.”Du Ruan-tian: “We do have someone in the Association who can make it, but everyone’s short right now. Only 200 sheets can be made a day, and there’s a waitlist. I can try to help, but 100 sheets is a lot. You’ll probably need to wait a few days.”Yun Luohe: “As long as I can get them, that’s fine. What materials do you need?”“High-temperature glass needs [Obsidian] and [Sulfur Crystals]. You’ll have to trade in [Obsidian] since we all supply the materials ourselves. Most people are short on [Obsidian] right now. I’ve got plenty of [Sulfur Crystals], so you don’t need to provide that.”Just as she’d thought.“How many [Obsidian] for 100 sheets of high-temp glass?”“I won’t ask too much. Even making it myself takes 50 [Obsidian]. Just give me 50. If you have [Sulfur Crystals], great. If not, trade something else. I’ll have someone from the Association craft it. The fee will be in [Iron Ore].”Yun Luohe just happened to have exactly 50 pieces of [Obsidian]...Looks like to build the greenhouse, she’d need to keep gathering more [Obsidian].“All right. I’ll give you half of the [Obsidian] now. Once you’ve got all 100 sheets ready, we’ll trade, and I’ll give you the rest of the materials.”“Works for me.”They signed a trade agreement through the center. Du Ruan-tian promised to deliver within five days.—Yun Luohe stood at the reef’s edge, looking at the oyster farming nets laid along the shoreline. Over a hundred nets, housing several thousand oysters.Among them, ten nets held mutated pearl mussels.They produced pearls every day.Yun Luohe walked over to collect the pearls from the mussel nets.At the same time, she was worried about one thing:Summer was almost here.Oysters thrived in water temperatures between 10°C and 25°C. Summer definitely wouldn’t stay that cool. Once temperatures exceeded 30°C, oysters couldn’t survive.By then, thousands of oysters would likely die.Yun Luohe had no idea how to prevent it.She sighed. “Maybe I should just process all these oysters in the next couple of days.”Oyster meat could be dried and preserved. The shells could be recycled or burned.If she waited until summer and they all died, they’d be inedible.If she tried raising the oysters in the fish pond and controlled the pond’s temperature, maybe they’d survive.But that would require temperature regulation and sunshade equipment.
