Rebirth: I can easily control the end-of-the-world game

Looking at her supermarket, which was already a third empty, Feng Lan stopped and put a wooden board up for sale, priced at 999 wooden treasure chests, with the message "Supplies sold out".

She stopped checking the forums and private messages. Feng Lan's hair was dry, and it was getting dark. It was almost six or seven o'clock, and night was approaching. She hadn't forgotten to remind the player about the monsters in the sea when she entered the game.

"Let's open the treasure chests first." Feng Lan found a notebook to use as a memo. "Let's start with the wooden treasure chests."

Congratulations, you have obtained 4 plank.

Congratulations! You have obtained 2 Fresh Water.

Congratulations! You've won the high-top shoes (left)

Congratulations! You have obtained the [Bronze Sword] blueprint x1

Congratulations! You have obtained 2 vegetable seeds.

...Keep opening treasure chests.

Congratulations! You have received a set of women's underwear.

Congratulations! You have received 1 peach.

Congratulations! You have won a large-capacity water bottle.

Congratulations! You have won 1 pineapple.

Congratulations! You have received 1 plastic fan.

Feng Lan had already honed her hand speed during the previous seven days of gameplay, so opening treasure chests was not difficult. However, it took her quite a bit of time to register all the treasure chest contents and then classify and archive the items.

Her luck wasn't too bad either; around 7 a.m., she finally got the blueprints for the workbench.

Workbench [Blueprint]:

Function: To create tools, weapons, and equipment using blueprints, or to research new recipes using items.

Materials needed: 20 thick wooden boards, 3 metal rods/blocks, 5 electronic components

Feng Lan searched in the supermarket and found all the materials she needed. She took out the materials and prepared to build, but a message popped up on the panel.

[A furnace is needed to build a crafting table, but you haven't built one yet!]

"A furnace?" Feng Lan thought for a moment, and it seemed that she had the blueprints. She searched in the supermarket and found the blueprints for a furnace.

[Furnace [Blueprint]:]

Function: Raw materials are put into the furnace and smelted to obtain more advanced tools, weapons and equipment.

Materials needed: 8 planks, 6 clay, 4 junk, 5 nails/electronic components

Feng Lan's gaze lingered on the last item in the furnace. The drop rates for iron nails and electronic components were clearly different. She only had 87 electronic components, which were much more valuable than the hundreds of iron nails.

Will furnaces made with different recipes have any differences?

Feng Lan thought for a moment. One furnace blueprint could only make one furnace, but she had more than one furnace blueprint. She punched her left fist into her right palm and muttered to herself, "Then I'll make them all."

With enough materials, we can be this carefree.

Although the difference is unknown, Fenglan tends to think that the furnace made with electronic components should have some advantages over the nail version.

The furnace was ready, and the game was automatically placed in her backpack. Feng Lan took it out; the green icon could be placed anywhere on the raft. She thought for a moment, and since the name "furnace" sounded hot, she walked to the end of the raft and placed the furnace there.

The two furnaces look very similar, but the ordinary furnace can only put one item in, while the one made with electronic components can smelt three items at the same time!

"As expected, there's a reason why it's expensive." Feng Lan was satisfied; now she could use it as a workbench.

[Workbench Countdown: 59:59]

Compared to the furnace, which can be completed directly, the workbench requires an hour's countdown to finish. Feng Lan was speechless, but by then it was already dark.

"Wow... Wow..."

A slight movement came from the dark sea. In the darkness, Feng Lan stared at the sea and felt a strange sense of fear.

[Worry: You gaze at the sea and sky at night, there is no firelight, and in the darkness, fear of the unknown arises. Mental value -1 per hour]

She hesitated for a moment, then took out a powerful flashlight from the supermarket. It was 60W, had a range of 600m, and a maximum luminous flux of 5000LM. As soon as she turned it on, it felt like she went from night to day. However, her debuff still hadn't disappeared. In the darkness not far away, she vaguely sensed a gaze and heard some noise.

"Hiss... Is it necessary to have fire?" Feng Lan heard the noise and suspected that the monster mentioned in the game had arrived. She turned on the flashlight and placed it on the raft. She quickly took out a piece of wood from the supermarket, wrapped clothes on it, poured some oil on it, and lit it with a lighter.

Warm firelight rose from the torch, and with the soft crackling of burning cloth, the light illuminated half of the raft and the surrounding sea. The [Worry] debuff disappeared.

[Bright: In the warm light, you feel at ease; in the firelight, monsters' aggression is reduced by 30%]

"Splash..." Feng Lan looked at the illuminated sea surface, where a shadow was moving underwater.

Something is coming.

The firelight only dispelled the negative status effects; it didn't drive away the monsters.
