Ahhhhh, high-altitude survival!

Lin Yue suppressed her excitement, first tidying up everything before quickly cleaning the platform. After a flurry of activity, she finally finished collecting all the lark meat from the platform. At this point, she had 132 portions of common lark meat, 558 feathers, 67 claws, and 23 feather darts in her backpack.

Lin Yue first took out the fully automatic floor scrubber to clean the platform, and then began to process the lark meat.

Han Weiyi's seasoning had already been sent over. Lin Yue had a considerable amount of lark meat on hand, so she directly cut up a large bowl of it, mixed it with the seasoning, and set it aside to marinate.

While waiting, she equipped the Sky Wings.

After equipping the gear, a pair of wings appeared on Lin Yue's back, and a new [Fly] button was added to the skill bar.

Click to fly, and the wings suddenly unfold and begin to automatically flap up and down.

Lin Yue's body was suspended in mid-air for a moment, and she was a little unaccustomed to it, but she quickly adjusted and began to try to control the pair of newly acquired wings.

The game was thoughtfully designed, and Lin Yue quickly mastered how to control her flight in the four directions: left, right, up, and down. After her first ten-minute flight time, she was already able to skillfully fly and circle around the four edges of the platform.

After experiencing the thrill of flying, Lin Yue's mood had calmed down considerably. She carefully arranged the dried meat in the pot, then lit a low flame and began to slowly roast it.

As soon as things quieted down, Lin Yue felt awkward.

The fight with the Skylark King was so thrilling. After leveling up, her body was cleansed by a white light, leaving her feeling refreshed. However, the sweat, blood, and dirt on her clothes remained. While flying in the sky, the wind had clung her clothes tightly to her body, making her feel sticky and uncomfortable.

However, she hadn't received any spare clothes these past few days, so she had no way to change or wash them.

Feeling increasingly upset, Lin Yue reopened the area chat panel.

This time, she mainly wanted to exchange basic necessities such as clothes, shoes, and socks, as well as timber.

She realized that her platform was too small when she was being chased by the Lark King. The large number of wooden crates she had placed there not only limited her dodging space but also caused her to accidentally cut herself on her own things several times.

Now that she has better materials and equipment, she plans to trade away a batch of her common-grade Lark Claws and Sparrow Feather Darts. The newbie protection period is already halfway over, and with the BOSS announcement, other players are probably also thinking about how to improve their strength, so these weapons should be easy to trade.

Lin Yue thought for a moment, then sent a message in the area chat:

"[Claws.jpg] Change clothes, shoes, socks, daily necessities, and timber."

"[Sparrow Feather Dart.jpg] Exchange for blueprints, skill books, equipment, or locked treasure chests."

Lin Yue's appearance in the regional chat naturally attracted another wave of onlookers.

"Boss Lin Yue! Boss Lin Yue has appeared!"

"Every time a big shot shows up, he brings something I've never heard of before!"

"These weapons must have been obtained by the master from defeating the Lark, right? That's amazing! I'm giving the master a shout-out."

"Tsk tsk tsk, look at you guys, so pathetic. I'm different. Lin Yue, I'm actually your long-lost half-brother!"

"Nonsence!"

"shameless."

"The darts only have an attack power of 5, and can only be used three times. The claws only have a strength bonus of 1. You guys don't need to exaggerate like this, do you?"

"Hehehe, since you can throw darts with an attack power of 5 so easily, do you think the big shot has any better ones?"

"Holy crap, this is terrifying to think about!"

"..."

As usual, most of the players in the public chat were just watching the show, while those who really wanted to make a trade had already started messaging Lin Yue privately.

Liang Dong came over with more materials: "Lin Yue, most of what I caught today is this, [saltpeter.jpg], do you need it?"

Lin Yue's mind raced when she saw the saltpeter. She had also found a piece of saltpeter today, and on the saltpeter's identification label, one line of large characters stood out.

Saltpeter: A primary material, a natural mineral, used in agricultural fertilizers, gunpowder, fireworks, and ice.

Lin Yue didn't pay much attention to anything else, but the fact that it could make ice reminded her of the two Flame-Avoiding Stones. The Flame-Avoiding Stones were for cooling; if saltpeter could make ice, wouldn't that be equivalent to a craftable version of the Flame-Avoiding Stones?

Lin Yue thought for a moment, then sent a message to Han Weiyi: "Weiyi, did you get a lot of saltpeter from the airdrop today?"

"Saltpeter?" Han Weiyi seemed puzzled for a moment, then replied, "No, sister, I didn't get any saltpeter. Do you want this?"

Huh? Am I overthinking things?

Lin Yue had always felt that Han Weiyi, as the "daughter" of the survival game, could serve as a kind of indicator for judgment. Since she didn't have it, Lin Yue decided to put the matter aside for the time being.

Liang Dong traded saltpeter for some food and two claws, while Lin Yue traded away quite a few claws with the other players, receiving some basic materials, mostly wood. Lin Yue expanded the platform to eighty square meters in one go, finally making it look much more spacious.

She also changed into a set of pajamas, along with a lot of fabric, three pairs of socks, and two blankets.

Lin Yue quickly wiped herself down and changed into her pajamas, finally feeling much more comfortable.

As for the old clothes, they certainly couldn't just be left there. She used up a whole bucket of water to finally rinse the clothes until they were barely clean, and then built two walls and a roof in the middle of the platform, where she laid them out to dry.

As for the Sparrow Feather Darts, they attracted quite a few people, but the exchange price couldn't be agreed upon, and there wasn't anything that caught Lin Yue's eye, so she decided to wait and not rush to exchange them.

At the same time, the cooldown time for Sky Wings was up, and Lin Yue adjusted the wings before taking off again.

This time, she was much bolder. After getting used to her balance on the platform, she chose a direction and flew off the platform.

Once she left the platform where she could find shelter, Lin Yuefei became extremely cautious. She kept her wristband screen on, constantly monitoring the time to ensure she wouldn't miss her chance to return.

After flying some distance, Lin Yue looked back. The tree she depended on for survival was even more majestic and magnificent than she had imagined. Its lush canopy, like a green giant, pierced the sky, while her proud platform, hidden by this towering tree, looked like a snail clinging to a giant python, utterly insignificant.

Lin Yue couldn't help but look it over with some admiration, and then suddenly realized... wait, what is that?
