Ahhhhh, high-altitude survival!

Chapter 41, Ice Basin Blueprint 2

Lin Yue was unaware of the commotion, but she noticed that she had been standing by the workbench for a long time, constantly being chilled by the cold air from the ice basin, and had already sneezed several times.

Lin Yue went back to her room and grabbed a blanket to wrap herself in, but it was only slightly better than nothing. The temperature was too close to the ice basin, and the blanket didn't do much good.

Although Lin Yue is willing to help others, protecting herself is definitely her top priority.

But she got the ice basin blueprint from the silver treasure chest, and even if she were willing to teach others, she didn't have a copyer to replicate it. Just as she was stomping her feet to warm herself up and pondering what to do, the public chat exploded again.

Huang Wenmin: "Hahahaha, our Brother Zhao got the blueprints for the ice basin!"

Huang Wenmin: "I knew our Brother Zhao was the chosen one! Zhou Zeyang, return our materials immediately! We're not buying from Lin Yue anymore!"

Li Guang: "That's right! We're not buying it! We'll return it!"

Huang Wenmin: "Hurry up! Zhou Zeyang! Be quick. It's one thing to be slow making the ice basin, but are you slow returning things too?"

Li Guang: "That's right, Zhou Zeyang and Lin Yue, you wouldn't be trying to embezzle our materials, would you!"

Huang Wenmin: "Once Brother Zhao can finish making it, I'll post a screenshot of the ice basin materials in the public chat! Everyone can see how much money Lin Yue actually made! Doing business is doing business, I don't like it when people try to have their cake and eat it too."

Li Guang: "Just you wait! Oh, and if you can't buy it from Lin Yue in half a day, don't forget to look for our Brother Zhao, hahaha!"

The two of them were making a ruckus and jumping around on the screen, talking for quite a while.

Zhou Zeyang had the public chat open the whole time, and he acted quickly, immediately returning the materials and even taking a screenshot to post: "Serves 3, take a good look! Don't be petty and say I'm stealing your stuff."

Huang Wenmin: "Hmph."

Although Zhou Zeyang had a few words with the other party, Lin Yue was quite happy to see someone get the ice basin blueprint. After all, there were too many people in the Seventh District, and she was indeed struggling to cope with the situation on her own.

The other people in the chat also seemed very excited, and many people started asking Huang Wenmin and Li Guang what price Zhao Yuxuan was going to sell the ice basin for.

However, the two who were just feeling smug suddenly fell silent for a long time and did not respond in the public chat.

Just as everyone was starting to wonder, Huang Wenmin seemed somewhat reluctant to send the following message in the public chat: "Um, Lin Yue, take a look at the private messages."

Lin Yue had already immersed herself in making a new round of ice basins. Huang Wenmin waited for a while, and when she realized that Lin Yue was not paying attention to her, she couldn't help but explode again: "Lin Yue, isn't it too selfish of you to do this?"

Li Guang followed suit: "Yes, the ice basin is related to the lives of so many people in our entire district. Are you planning to take it all for yourself?"

Lin Yue, who only saw the message on the public screen after being reminded by Xu Tiantian, couldn't help but roll her eyes. What's wrong with these two now?

Weren't you just showing off that you got the Ice Basin blueprint? What are you yelling about now?

Lin Yue's private messages were overflowing at this moment, and she was too lazy to scroll through them one by one, so she simply typed a question mark in the public chat.

Lin Yue: "?"

Seeing that Lin Yue had finally replied, Huang Wenmin immediately asked, "Lin Yue, why can't Brother Zhao's ice basin blueprint be made?"

Lin Yue was quite puzzled: "How should I know? Did I sell you the blueprints? Are you coming to me for after-sales service?"

The others also realized the problem at this point. It turned out that the two of them had been showing off for so long, only to find out now that their blueprints couldn't be used to make an ice basin.

"Are you sure you're not mistaken? Is it an ice basin?"

"Is there a problem with the drawings?"

"What the hell? It turns out I was just looking forward to nothing."

"Exactly! They're just bragging without even knowing if they can do it. Isn't that ridiculous?"

Everyone's hopes were dashed, and they began to discuss the matter. Some, unable to tolerate the two's smugness, started to mock them.

The two on the other side were both angry and embarrassed. After exchanging a few insults with others in the public chat, Zhao Yuxuan finally appeared. He directly sent an ice basin blueprint in the area chat: "[Ice Basin.jpg], Lin Yue, could you please take a look at this for me? I got this from a box, but I don't know why I can't make it."

Lin Yue was indeed a little curious, so she clicked on the picture to take a look. The picture opened to reveal an introduction to the ice basin. This introduction looked quite concise and clear, similar to the one she had received before, seemingly without anything special.

Lin Yue recalled carefully that the blueprint she got from the silver treasure chest was an improved version of the ice basin, which could be made directly after obtaining it. So, was it because the owner of the stone house modified the blueprint?

However, if that were the case, wouldn't the limitations be too great? How many silver treasure chest blueprints can be found in a single area? And how many people could possess a weapon as astonishingly powerful as a potato mine just a few days in advance? If any link in the chain goes wrong, wouldn't the entire first stage of the test potentially result in total annihilation?

No, there must be some key point here that I haven't considered! Lin Yue frowned.

She looked at the blueprints again, her gaze slowly sweeping over every word. When her eyes returned to the starting point, her heart suddenly skipped a beat. "If there are no errors in the blueprints themselves..." she murmured to herself, "then the problem might lie on the workpiece?"

Just like how old computers can't run those visually stunning and demanding new games smoothly, is it because the workbench itself is not high-level enough that it can't create advanced tools?

Lin Yue clearly remembered that when she upgraded the platform to 100 square meters, the system notified her that the workbench had been upgraded, unlocking many new items. So, the platform area was equivalent to the key to unlocking the workbench level?

The more Lin Yue thought about it, the more reasonable her guess seemed. Unfortunately, even though she was already 70-80% sure, it was still just a guess.

The simplest way to verify this guess would be to ask the other party to send her the drawings so she could test them herself. But even if they were willing to give them to her, there's no need for her to do so.

There are two people over there who are always trying to twist the facts and use moral blackmail. What if they try it and find out it's not the cause? Their hopes will be dashed, and who knows what kind of trouble they'll cause then. It's better to make a few more ice basins than waste time on that.

Lin Yue didn't want to get involved, so she simply replied in the public chat, "I don't know," and then ignored it.
