Ahhhhh, high-altitude survival!

Wow, well done, "Nut Wall"!

She wished she could hold off the wild boar a little longer. Taking advantage of the moment when it was engrossed in eating, Lin Yue gripped the axe tightly and flew directly above the frozen boar.

The axe drew a deadly arc in the air, aimed directly at the wild boar's neck.

With a "splat..." sound, a line of blood flashed, and the lame wild boar's health bar dropped a bit.

The wild boar, in pain, broke free from the ice. Lin Yue leaped two meters to dodge, and the pea bullets arrived as expected.

"Pfft—" Frozen!

"Pfft..." Another wound.

Lin Yue didn't confront the wild boar head-on; instead, she used a kite-like motion, moving it up and down. In just five minutes, the lame boar's health was reduced to zero. It let out a mournful howl and finally collapsed, exhausted.

The wild boar, which was enjoying its large potato, seemed to be awakened by its companion's cries of agony. It turned its head, glanced at its companion's miserable state, and a hint of fear flashed in its eyes.

Without hesitation, it grabbed the largest piece of potato and ran away.

Watching the wild boar's rapidly departing figure, Lin Yue hesitated for a moment but ultimately did not chase after it.

This wild boar has a longer health bar than the Lark King, and her Sky Wings only has a little over three minutes left to use. The two plant archers have also used up more than half of their bullets. It would be better to recover some mental energy first and go looking for prey when she is more confident.

Since she wasn't injured, Lin Yue only rested for a short while before packing the whole wild boar into her backpack. She planned to collect the rest after returning to the platform; otherwise, she was worried that there wouldn't be enough space in her backpack after the boar was divided into different parts.

After collecting the two plant shooters, Lin Yue's gaze fell on the two intact "nut walls" on the ground, and she looked somewhat troubled.

She tried digging with a shovel, but the ground beneath the "wall of nuts" was as hard as a rock; the shovel made a metallic sound the moment it touched the ground. It seemed she couldn't dig any further. But giving up wasn't an option; after all, she'd spent 100 points of mental energy to retrieve it. Lin Yue thought for a moment, then started a fire and began roasting it.

Once the "Nut Wall" is roasted, it turns into two large potatoes, which can be put directly into your backpack as food. Even if you can't finish them, you can sell them for supplies.

However, this time, Lin Yue dared not be distracted by playing games while roasting potatoes. The flames licked the potato shells evenly, and as soon as the potatoes changed color, Lin Yue quickly put both away, afraid that the aroma of the potatoes would attract any new animals and cause unnecessary trouble.

Now, Lin Yue's backpack was completely full.

It was already 5:15, and Lin Yue could no longer care about anything else, so she flew back in the direction she came from as fast as she could.

Ten minutes later, Skywings stopped working, and at that point, she was still two hills away from where she had first landed on the island.

Lin Yue took off running, thankfully she had already eaten some Skylark King jerky, which increased her speed to 10. This mountain path, which would normally leave her breathless, was now manageable.

She stumbled and crawled her way up, and finally, at 17:58 PM, she successfully reached the original landing point on the island.

As the last rays of the setting sun faded into the distance, Lin Yue took a deep breath, spread her wings, and sped swiftly toward her platform.

Back on the platform, Lin Yue immediately noticed the boxes scattered haphazardly on the ground. Clearly, the platform had caught 16 airdrops while she was away. But she didn't have time to tidy up and immediately plopped down on the bed.

The all-out flight had been quite tiring, and her stamina had dropped below 50 after returning to the platform. However, Lin Yue was delighted. After resting for a while, she enthusiastically took out the large wild boar she had put away from her backpack and clicked the harvest button.

[Gathering successful. Obtained 120 wild boar meat (500g), 3 wild boar hides, 2 wild boar tusks, and 1 experience point.]

Tsk tsk, sure enough, there's so much meat in these big ones! Lin Yue took out the two half-cooked nut walls, put one on the stove to continue roasting, then took out a portion of still-warm wild boar meat and chopped it up. After the potatoes started to steam, she opened the lid and poured them all in.

She stirred it for a while, and after seeing the soup begin to boil and the meat gradually turn white, she sprinkled in a small handful of salt, and then happily ladled out a bowl to eat.

Just as Lin Yue was enjoying her meal, the bracelet on her wrist suddenly started vibrating.

Lin Yue assumed it was Han Weiyi wanting to video chat with her again, so she wiped her hands and opened the private chat window. But when she opened it, she realized it wasn't a message from Han Weiyi, but from a somewhat familiar name.

Zhou Zeyang: "Lin Yue, sorry to bother you. I saw the messages on the public chat earlier. It seems you hunted quite a few larks. I wonder if you have any extra feathers? I'd like to exchange some with you."

feather?

Lin Yue's mind raced, and she instantly recalled the description on the tool table. Feathers were the raw material for making silk thread. Could it be that Zhou Zeyang was making clothes?

If that's the case, then she's genuinely interested.

Lin Yue: "Yes, how much do you want?"

Zhou Zeyang: "The more the better. If it's convenient, could you exchange for 100 first?"

The quantity needed was quite large, which made Lin Yue even more certain that the other side was not intended for simple mending.

She remained calm and replied, "Okay, how do you plan to change it?"

"How about exchanging one piece of timber for five feathers?" Zhou Zeyang seemed a little unsure and hesitated for a moment before proposing this exchange.

"can."

Although feathers are definitely rarer than wood at the moment, once the beginner protection period is over, there will probably be more birds. Just like the deal with Liang Dong, if the other party really has the potential to be worth trading, Lin Yue doesn't care about the small amount of materials gained or lost. In addition, Zhou Zeyang wasn't asking for an exorbitant amount, so she simply agreed.

The other person was clearly surprised that she was so easy to talk to. After a three-second pause, several messages came in almost at the same time.

"You're such a nice guy, boss!"

"Hooray for the big boss!"

"Thank you, boss."

These few words immediately revealed a lively spirit unique to young people.

Lin Yue was a little curious, so she clicked on his profile panel and took a look—[Zhou Zeyang, male, 20 years old.]

They're still just kids, no wonder!
