Ahhhhh, high-altitude survival!

Lin Yue had no idea what Liang Dong was thinking.

After ending the video call, she began organizing her belongings and then continued exchanging materials on the public chat.

Today is the first day, and there are still many people who need to exchange for food. After about ten minutes, she selectively exchanged for 3 iron blocks and 6 pieces of plastic, and the materials to build the condensate extractor were collected.

Lin Yue immediately went to the workbench and began construction.

A moment later, a metal instrument appeared before her. Lin Yue thought for a moment and decided to place it next to the workbench.

This condensate extractor looks like a bulging, long balloon, with a dropper at the bottom, presumably for collecting water. Lin Yue glanced at the wristband panel; the current temperature was 27 degrees Celsius, 1 degree higher than in the morning. She wondered if the temperature would reach the minimum required by the instrument after sunset.

However, since the temperature could change, it meant that it would eventually arrive. Lin Yue relaxed and stopped thinking about it. She looked up at the sky and, finding no sign of a random airdrop, she returned to the world of Plants vs. Zombies.

She played until dusk. Lin Yue's purpose in playing the game was to get freebies, so after successfully unlocking all the plant illustrations in the first level, she started exploiting bugs to farm peas.

She planted thick "walls of nuts" in the first two rows to block the zombies' attack, and selectively removed the peas fired by the three rows of "pea shooters" in the back, trying not to hit the zombies, so that they could become a sustainable "pea-attracting artifact".

As for the other two plants in the game—the Cherry Bomb worth 150 energy and the Potato Mine worth 25 energy—she couldn't use them against zombies, so she temporarily put them aside.

Lin Yue reluctantly pressed the pause button only when the system notified her that the third round of airdrops was about to arrive.

Thinking about her previous questions about the consumption of mental energy, Lin Yue tried taking out a "Wall of Nuts" worth 50 energy this time. After taking it out, she found that her mental energy was also deducted by 50 points.

This confirms her previous guess: the energy required to purchase the plant encyclopedia is actually the mental energy she needs to expend to retrieve items from the game.

She remembered that in the Plants vs. Zombies game, the most expensive plant was the Corn Cannon, costing a whopping 500 energy points. This meant that if she wanted to use it, her mental energy would need to be above 50 points—a long and arduous task! She wondered if there were any other ways to increase her attribute values ​​besides leveling up.

After sighing for a while, Lin Yue began to carefully examine the "nut wall" that she had just taken out.

It was a perfect oval shape, about the height of two rice cookers stacked together. Its round, plump body emitted a faint, earthy yellow glow. Lin Yue gently tapped the "Nut Wall's" shell; it produced a dull, powerful "thump-thump," clearly indicating its sturdiness.

Lin Yue first put it in her backpack and checked its attributes.

[“Wall of Nuts” (Common): A defensive item formed from a special mutation of a plant tuber called a potato. It is non-toxic and edible after processing. Its outer shell is exceptionally hard, capable of withstanding a certain level of attack. Defense: 30; Health: 300.]

This attribute is pretty good. If I encounter any difficult animals in three days, I might be able to use this "nut wall" to enclose myself. It's just that it might be a bit short, only reaching Lin Yue's thigh. I guess I'll have to squat inside it to make it effective.

Just as Lin Yue was thinking this, her expression suddenly changed.

Right?

How come she remembered that the "nut wall" in the game should be walnuts?

Could it be that the game in my mind is different from the real original?

With only one minute left before the airdrop arrived, Lin Yue put aside her thoughts, planted the "Wall of Nuts" on the "Peashooter" crate, and then picked up the net to prepare for the airdrop.

The third airdrop arrived as scheduled, accompanied by a series of thuds as wooden crates and branches crashed onto the platform, kicking up a light cloud of dust.

When the noise subsided, Lin Yue was pleasantly surprised to find that the enlarged platform had caught a total of five boxes, plus the two she had retrieved from her net. She had obtained a total of seven wooden boxes.

Harvest!

Lin Yue first collected all the branches, then rubbed her hands together and began to open the box with great anticipation.

[The wooden crate has been opened, containing 1 bottle of mineral water and 2 noodles.]

[The wooden crate has been opened; you have obtained 5 rolls of toilet paper.]

[The wooden crate has been opened; you have obtained 3 chocolates.]

[The wooden crate has been opened; you have obtained 1 cold medicine.]

[The wooden crate has been opened; you have obtained 2 pieces of hand-torn bread.]

The locked wooden crate can be opened with a key.

The locked wooden crate can be opened with a key.

That's great! These are all very useful items. And there are two locked treasure chests!

Lin Yue knew that the Peashooter had previously destroyed one of the treasure chests, so she knew that these chests could be forcibly dismantled. Since she didn't have enough mental strength to take the Peashooter, she decided to try it herself first.

Lin Yue rummaged through her inventory and took out a nail.

She first covered her palm with her sleeve, then with a little force, she swung the nail down towards the top of the box.

"hiss……"

The box was unharmed, but her hand felt a sharp pain. Fortunately, her clothes protected her, and her palm wasn't cut, only left with a round dent.

It seems this approach won't work.

The sharpest object failed to find a solution, so Lin Yue tried wood and a fishing net pole, but unfortunately, she made no progress after struggling for a while.

She knew that using a potato mine would definitely blow it open, but she was worried that it would destroy the box and its contents, and she was also afraid that the potato mine would blow through the wooden floor. So she quickly dismissed the idea.

Forget it, I'll wait until my stamina returns to 100 in 40 minutes before buying a Peashooter.

Having made up her mind, Lin Yue put the two locked wooden crates aside. She didn't rush to collect the rest of the crates, but instead kept them for storage. She then reorganized the supplies in her hands and neatly arranged them next to the workbench, categorizing them by type.

After working for a while, Lin Yue felt a little hungry.

Looking at the attribute panel, my stamina has dropped to 53. I need to eat something.

Lin Yue first took out a can of eight-treasure porridge and was about to open it, but after thinking about it, she put it away again, her gaze unconsciously drifting towards the "nut wall".
