With a cheat code, she travels through the 40s and hoards goods to take her motherland to new height

"They're cooked! Yunxi, look! The seafood that's still on the ground is cooked."

Shu Ran excitedly pointed outside the ice crystal, where a bright red shrimp bent its body and fell to the ground.

Shu Ran could vaguely sense the bouncy and delicious shrimp meat.

The irresistible aroma of seafood gradually spread, growing stronger and stronger—grilled crab, grilled shrimp, grilled fish…

The heat seemed just right, perfectly cooked, without a trace of char.

"A natural oven?"

The slightly boiling seawater brought up the last wave of seafood that had met its unfortunate end. These were seafood that had just entered the water and hadn't yet had a chance to reach the bottom. Perhaps we could now call them boiled seafood.

"Isn't the ocean a natural cooking pot?"

Shu Ran frowned, somewhat puzzled: "This scene is strange. If it weren't for the fact that we both have so many cheaters, we wouldn't even be able to get past the newbie quests."

The initial seafood craze, and now the high temperatures that can cook seafood, all seem designed to leave no way out for anyone.

They were well-rested in their heavily fortified small apartment late at night, unaware of any dangers lurking in the darkness.

This shouldn't be happening! A hellish start doesn't seem like a legitimate cheat.

[System, are you there? Look at this level one dangerous scenario, give me an explanation!]

She rushed off to find the system theory, and the fragrance lingering in her nose made Shu Ran's stomach rumble.

[That's right, it's indeed a level 1 scenario. You, the tester, chose it randomly, and the difficulty was also random; it just so happened that you randomly got Hell difficulty.]

The system is perfectly justified; it didn't do anything underhanded. You can only blame bad luck!

Regional difficulty scenarios are rarely chosen due to their low success rate. To stabilize the development within these scenarios, random selection is often implemented.

[Then at least put a label on it! You should at least give some hint!]

Shu Ran swore that she had definitely read the scene description carefully, and none of the things she was experiencing now were mentioned in the description.

[It's marked. Look at the scene description image; the difficulty level is indicated in the upper right corner. Anyone who isn't illiterate should be able to see it.]

Shu Ran opened the interface provided by the system, zoomed in on the image, and sure enough, in the upper right corner of the scene description image, she found a few words that were a few sizes smaller than the normal font size—"Hell Difficulty," which she hadn't noticed herself.

Shu Ran: ...Speechless. It's her fault.

Those who frequently work for me know that this is our first time working together, so it's normal that you're not familiar with the process.

The kind and understanding words dealt a blow to Shu Ran's heart.

Okay! Next time she definitely won't choose randomly, and she'll read the description carefully, both the text and the pictures.

Okay! So, is it okay to eat this cooked seafood?

Sure! You can take as much as you want. Naturally cooked seafood is rich in nutrients and very nourishing, but be careful when eating it!

Unlike raw food, which can be cooked and eaten as much as you like without any problem, the spiritual energy will naturally dissipate.

Naturally cooked seafood retains its own essence and absorbs the yang energy of the body. People with weak constitutions should eat it in small, frequent meals.

The system is very generous; it stores a lot of seafood that is sold year-round on the commercial street. Whether it's raw or cooked, the prices are almost the same, and the supply is so plentiful that it can never be used up.

Hearing the system say that, Shu Ran became curious. Just how nourishing was this "great tonic"?

Turning to Yunxi beside him, he said, "I want to go out. Can this be taken back? Or can we make an opening to bring in things from outside?"

The ice crystals blocked out the outside temperature, and similarly, they also blocked out divine sense and spiritual power, preventing them from reaching out.

"Okay, wait a moment."

Yunxi nodded in agreement. Just as he was about to open a small window in the ice crystal barrier, he remembered that there seemed to be three ice phoenix feathers in his storage space, which could even withstand the true fire of the sun.

After searching through the space, I found the spirit-retaining jade box containing the Ice Phoenix Feather.

"These are feathers from an Ice Phoenix. Wearing them can protect you from the high temperatures. Shall I put them in your hair?"

Looking at Shu Ran questioningly, Yun Xi picked up a feather from among them.

The tip is ice blue, and the color gradually lightens as you go down, creating a gradient. Even with just a few feathers, Shu Ran could imagine the beauty of the Ice Phoenix.

"it is good!"

Shu Ran picked up a feather and played with it, then lowered her head and let Yun Xi put it in her hair, along with the hairpin he had given her, to serve as a hair ornament.

"And you? Where do you wear it?"

Shu Ran had a short, neat hairstyle and nowhere to wear it, which made her a little disappointed.

Yunxi would look great in it. It would be best if it were made into earrings, hanging below the earlobe and down to the shoulder. It would look great on just one ear.

"That's good."

Yunxi casually shortened the long feather and tucked it behind her ear.

Although it's not worn on the earlobe, it still looks beautiful, with an exotic charm.

I opened a window to feel the outside temperature. With the protection of the Ice Phoenix Feather, the temperature was just right—warm, not scorching.

The two of them packed up the jade bed as they walked.

They kept everything that was already cooked, except for the ones that looked poisonous, and put the rest into their spatial storage.

They kept collecting them as they went, leaving only a few scattered on the ground and the beach.

Paying close attention to the changing scenery, the two did not forget the "clean" ground after three o'clock.

The two stopped fighting before 2 o'clock.

There's still a lot of seafood that we haven't had time to harvest, but being too greedy wouldn't be a good idea.

Deploy the array, take precautions, and wait for the unexpected to happen.

At 2 o'clock, the temperature started to rise again.

With the ice phoenix feathers and the cold jade bed, the two felt alright and were not too uncomfortable.

Outside, the plants remained unaffected, but the seafood and carcasses scattered in the open had turned into powder and gravel, slowly falling to the ground.

Just like when the two of them first came in, it was extremely clean.

The temperature gradually decreased and returned to normal until 3 p.m., when it finally cooled down and stopped dropping sharply.

The scenes were breathtaking, and the difficulty of the scenarios was so high that it left no room for survival.

Thinking about my small apartment, can it really withstand this temperature? Why haven't I received any warnings from the apartment management? And why are the plants completely unaffected?

Filled with questions, Shu Ran glanced at the small apartment. She had just placed ten new energy blocks here, and now only five intact ones remained!

You should know that for the water, electricity, and basic protection of a small apartment, a single energy block can easily last for ten years!

Maximum defense, but consumes a lot of energy blocks!

"Forget it, let's not think about it anymore. Let's submit the task and go back."

Shu Ran didn't want to waste her brainpower on something that wasn't scientifically sound, so she gave up.

Since coming into this world, I've never been a scientist. Thinking too much about it is pointless and will only make me doubt the world and myself.
