After eating the Ice Crystal Stone, parts of Yúntūn's body instantly turned white, emitting frost. The spider silk it shot out became ice silk, but this only lasted for a few seconds before it returned to its original state."How is it? Does it taste good?" Yun Luohe asked, concerned, as she looked at Yúntūn."It’s delicious, comfortable, and very cold," Yúntūn replied happily. "Is there more?"Yun Luohe shook her head. "This is the only one."The Ice Crystal Stone in the fish pond couldn’t be taken out, as it was used for raising pearl mussels, and the water in the other ponds, which didn’t have Ice Crystal Stones, had already become warm.Fortunately, Yun Luohe noticed something was wrong and quickly removed everything from the other fish ponds.Some of the pearl mussels were placed in her backpack. Once she got more Ice Crystal Stones, she could place them back into the ponds to raise again.The pearl mussels in her backpack wouldn't produce pearls.For now, the only pearl mussels she could rely on were in that one fish pond, so the Ice Crystal Stones couldn’t be used for Yúntūn.The fish taken from the other ponds had nowhere to go. Yun Luohe placed them in a basin and stored them in the cellar, planning to process them and cook them today. ****The temperature today was still high. Yun Luohe woke up and went to the chicken coop to check. The chicks were growing plump, but they seemed a little sluggish. The Barred Rock hen had only laid one egg, likely due to the weather and its mood.When Yun Luohe appeared, the Barred Rock hen and the Golden Duck kept calling non-stop, clamoring to be let out, but Yun Luohe couldn’t risk letting them outside.She could only serve them food and water, filling their feed and tossing in a few earthworms to quiet them down.Just as she left the chicken coop, Yun Luohe received a message ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) from Du Ruan-tian.She had gathered the high-temperature glass that Yun Luohe had requested and asked if she had prepared enough petroleum first-aid salve.Yun Luohe had already made it yesterday and sent it directly via trade.If Du Ruan-tian wanted so much petroleum first-aid salve, it certainly wasn’t just for the players in the European Emperor’s Association. She would likely sell it to exchange for more resources.After all, petroleum first-aid salve was in high demand.Yun Luohe had initially planned to exchange the petroleum first-aid salve for high-temperature glass, but when she posted it for trade, no one responded. It was clear that high-temperature glass was monopolized by the European Emperor’s Association.They wouldn’t let high-temperature glass flow freely into the market.If Yun Luohe hadn’t contacted Du Ruan-tian, she might not have been able to get it.The urgent matter now was to quickly build the greenhouse.However, all her obsidian had been used to make high-temperature glass, and she still needed 50 more obsidian to make the vertical planting racks.Fortunately, she had been gathering obsidian for the past few days, and with the help of the Mutual Aid Association, she had gathered 30 pieces of obsidian. This was due to the fact that the drop rate of obsidian had increased significantly recently. If it had been spring, she wouldn’t have been able to get this much.But even so, she still needed 20 more pieces.She could only use the 30 pieces of obsidian to make 6 vertical planting racks for now.Once she returned from Volcano Island, she could build the greenhouse.Yesterday, Yun Luohe had planned to do physical training, as the weather had been like this. After all, this was a survival game. If she couldn’t change the environment, she would have to change herself and adapt to it.By noon, Yun Luohe had put on her full set of sun protection gear and was working on the reef.To adapt to the high temperatures, she needed to work in the heat.There were still twenty days left in summer; she couldn’t just hide inside all day.However, she was also worried about heatstroke, so she kept monitoring her body’s condition.Working in the high heat wasn’t too intense; she only turned the soil, planted vegetables and trees, planted the seeds she hadn’t finished yesterday, and watered them.The watering had to be thorough, consuming a large amount of fresh water.Fortunately, she had stored a lot of fresh water in advance. If it was just for her own drinking and planting, it was enough.Using the purifier to filter seawater was still an option, but it was prone to evaporation.So, she had to move the purifier indoors, and in this heat, drawing water was difficult. She could only draw water in the evening and then use the purifier.Even then, a lot of water would be lost due to the heat.If she hadn’t stored fresh water earlier, players wouldn’t have been able to plant crops.This would have led to a vicious cycle.Players without water wouldn’t have food either, relying solely on whatever could be harvested from clams.Most of the fruit trees she had planted earlier were no longer alive. The apple tree had withered, and she had to cut it down, getting an apple sapling and a few pieces of high-grade hardwood from it.The sapling could only be planted later in the greenhouse.The fruit trees that were still alive were loquat trees, coconut trees, and banana trees.The banana tree, in particular, was not only heat-resistant but also thrived in the high heat and humidity. As long as Yun Luohe watered it profusely every day, it would grow well.The loquat tree and coconut tree were still alive, but their condition wasn’t great. The loquat tree’s tender leaves were already drying at the edges, and the branches and roots weren’t growing.The coconut tree had similar issues.Yun Luohe had no choice but to set up a sunshade and water them abundantly.After finishing these tasks, she was exhausted and dehydrated from sweating heavily.She checked the time.It was already reaching the limit.It seemed that tomorrow, when she climbed the island, she would only be able to take breaks every two hours.She would need at least ten bottles of cooling drinks.Today was just the beginning. With ongoing high-temperature training, she should be able to work longer in the heat.She also had to pay attention to her water intake and maintain her physical condition.Once she was done, Yun Luohe went to the edge of the reef, hoping to pick up a clam, only to be surprised to find that the seaweed, which had grown wildly in spring, was still alive and had mutated.She had originally thought that the seaweed was seasonal, growing lush only after being nourished by spring’s acid rain, and would die in summer.But now, the seaweed was still thriving, though its appearance had changed drastically.The seaweed had turned dark red, and its surface was covered with a layer of crystals, making it hard and firm.Curious, Yun Luohe reached out to touch it.To her surprise, it wasn’t hot; it was at a normal temperature.Considering that the temperature of the rocks on the reef was at least 45°C, this seaweed growing on the rocks could maintain a lower temperature.Yun Luohe cut off a few seaweed leaves to inspect.Although the leaves had hardened, she was able to cut them easily with a sickle.She quickly discovered that these seaweed leaves could reflect ultraviolet light, and the crystalline layer on the surface was unidentifiable.She immediately contacted Si Qi, asking her to investigate the seaweed on the reef and conduct some research to see if they might discover something new.Si Qi agreed and also chatted with her about the progress of the research on Symbiotic Crystals.She had already discovered how the Symbiotic Crystals stimulated the growth of organisms and established a mental connection with them.However, she hadn’t yet figured out how to implant the Symbiotic Crystal into an organism to control it.Yun Luohe was satisfied with the progress and told Si Qi to take her time; there was no rush.Yun Luohe said, “When you have time, research these seaweeds. They might be an excellent material for cooling.”Yun Luohe didn’t waste time either. She gathered more seaweed and tossed it into the trash can in her house.[Turning waste into treasure, 10 seaweeds recycled for upgrade, obtained: mutated seaweed slime x2][Mutated seaweed slime: reflects 80% of ultraviolet light, enzymes convert remaining heat into thermal energy.]She threw in even more seaweed this time, 20 in total.[Turning waste into treasure, 20 seaweeds recycled for upgrade, obtained: seaweed concrete x1][Seaweed concrete: can be used to make heat-resistant bricks, absorbs heat, reducing building surface temperature by 12°C.]Indeed, these mutated seaweeds had a huge potential.She was using the trash can to convert these resources, but other players who didn’t have trash cans must have found another way.For example, they could dry the seaweed, then grind it into mutated seaweed powder, which might also be used to make concrete.And to obtain the mutated seaweed slime, other methods might be needed.Yun Luohe thought for a moment. Could she use these seaweeds to make a cooling food?After all, it was clear by now that these mutated seaweeds had heat resistance properties.Yun Luohe had previously made seaweed crackers. They didn’t taste good, but they helped replenish stamina and were easy to carry. They sold well before, but she didn’t like eating them, and neither did Roubao, so she stopped making them.Maybe she could try making a cooling drink with seaweed instead.But Yun Luohe racked her brain and couldn’t come up with any suitable ingredients to pair with the seaweed.She just felt it might be too dark.But maybe if she made a dark dish, she could unlock something, so it was still worth trying.
