Ahhhhh, high-altitude survival!

Zhou Zeyang's eyes lit up, and he nodded as he said, "Sister, I don't have that many goods to exchange, so how about we consider this wood your investment? We'll give you 30% of the materials we earn."

Lin Yue smiled and nodded in agreement. Her main goal was to find someone to share the burden. There were still more than 9,000 people in the Seventh District who had not yet received the ice basins. Even if they only completed one-tenth of the work, the 30% profit would still be considerable, which would be a win-win situation.

After chatting for a few minutes, Lin Yue felt better and returned to the tool shed wrapped in a blanket. Now, she only had Han Weiyi to help her, making the manpower shortage even more acute.

Lin Yue thought for a moment and sent a message to Liang Dong to ask about the payment. Before they even discussed the payment, Liang Dong agreed without hesitation.

Lin Yue first posted on the public screen that everyone could find Liang Dong and queue up. Then Zhou Zeyang's message appeared: "Selling ice basins, each with 5 iron blocks, 5 saltpeter stones, and 5 bottles of water."

As soon as Zhou Zeyang said this, someone immediately asked, "Why did the price go up? Are you unable to keep up with the demand?"

"Yes! I just submitted the materials, how is this calculated?"

Zhou Zeyang: "That was the price Sister Lin Yue sold at before, and this is the price I'm selling at now."

"Zhou Zeyang, you can make ice basins now?"

Zhou Zeyang: "Yes, Sister Lin Yue is too busy. Those who want to wait in line can do so. If you need something urgently, you can buy it from me. Everyone is welcome!"

Seeing Zhou Zeyang start aggressively soliciting business, Huang Wenmin couldn't help but speak up again: "Zhou Zeyang, how come you suddenly know how to make ice basins?"

Li Guang: "Exactly, where did you get your blueprints?"

Zhou Zeyang: "...I opened it myself, so what? Did you own this game? Only you guys can open it, but others can't?"

Huang Wenmin: "Then why can't we make the ice basin design?"

Zhou Zeyang: "What does that have to do with me? Maybe some people are just too rude, so the game is restricting them?"

Huang Wenmin: "You're talking nonsense!"

As the group started arguing again, someone in the regional chat group couldn't help but ask, "Zhou Zeyang, are you sure you can make an ice basin? Have you tested it?"

Zhou Zeyang immediately replied: "Confirmed, I've already done several, and I can switch right away."

"Okay, I'm getting so hot here I can't stand it anymore, so stop wasting your time arguing. I'll send you the materials, so hurry up and give me a replacement."

"I want one too, the materials have been sent."

"I also want!"

Zhao Lei: "Yangzi, hurry up and make an ice basin. Those who need to exchange can just find me and Tiantian. Each person gets 5 iron blocks, 5 saltpeter stones, and 5 bottles of water. Collect them in the order of the queue."

Zhou Zeyang's business quickly got on track, but the two who were ignored were still unwilling to give up and kept arguing in the public chat.

Huang Wenmin: "Selfish! Self-serving! Unscrupulous businessman! He doesn't care about anyone at all!"

Li Guang: "Selfish! Self-serving! Unscrupulous merchant! He doesn't think about anyone at all!"

Zhao Lei: "We're selling ice basins now! Each one contains 5 iron blocks, 5 saltpeter stones, and 5 bottles of water. Submit your materials to me and Tian Tian, ​​and collect them in the order of your queue."

Huang Wenmin: "Selfish! Self-serving! Unscrupulous businessman! He doesn't care about anyone at all!"

Li Guang: "Selfish! Self-serving! Unscrupulous merchant! He doesn't think about anyone at all!"

Zhao Lei: "Damn, you're addicted to moral blackmail, aren't you? Selling ice basins now, huh? Each one contains 5 iron blocks, 5 saltpeter stones, and 5 bottles of water. Submit your materials here with me and Tian Tian, ​​and collect them in the order of your queue. Huang Wenmin and Li Guang aren't selling!"

Huang Wenmin: "Pah! I'd be crazy to buy from you. I'd rather queue up at Lin Yue's place. Even though she's a shrewd businessman, at least she's not as shrewd!"

Han Weiyi: "Don't come near me! My sister won't sell to you! Hmph ╭(╯^╰)╮!"

Liang Dong: "Your constant submissions and refunds are taking up too much of everyone's time. I'm sorry, we can't accommodate you."

Huang Wenmin: "You %￥￥%…………"

The argument didn't last long before a wave of new messages suddenly appeared on the public chat.

"Help! A big bird suddenly appeared on my platform. Its sharp beak pierced my wooden floorboards, making many holes. Several pieces fell down."

"Me too! The walls are all cracked from the dryness, and it feels like the temperature in the room has gone up again! Luckily, I got out of there quickly."

"I encountered one too! That bird was incredibly fast, its wings were like knives, and it slashed my shoulder, leaving a huge gash. Luckily, I had some wound medicine beforehand, otherwise I would be done for today."

"The heat is bad enough, but then there are these weird birds. Are they trying to kill us?"

"Exterminate them all!"

Perhaps because the ice basin had been kept at a low temperature, Lin Yue's platform hadn't encountered any strange birds. But soon, other players in the public chat started offering suggestions.

"This bird is afraid of the cold; the lower the temperature, the stiffer it becomes."

"Stop arguing! Hurry up and make an ice basin! We need an ice basin to save our lives!"

"Aaaaaaaahhhhhh! Don't chase me! I'm going to fall! Help..."

"Build a house, build a house! Don't let the birds see you. Even a one-square-meter house will do, if the birds can't see you, they won't poke you."

With Zhou Zeyang's arrival, the speed of ice basin production noticeably increased, with batches of 20 ice basins being rapidly passed from player to player. Unfortunately, the numbers above the area chat were still decreasing one by one.

Lin Yue has already taken out the second Frost Archer to help. After making the ice basins for a while, when it gets too cold to bear, she will stop making a batch of iron basins, pour water into them, and let the Frost Archers shoot directly into them.

This method of making ice basins is faster than making them directly, but unfortunately, her mental strength can't keep up, so she can only take turns with the Ice Archer.

"Hurry up, I haven't encountered any big birds yet, but I'm really about to explode from the heat."

"My wooden floor is only five square meters. I'm so afraid that I'll get so sunburned that I'll suddenly go black and roll down it."

"Waaaaah, someone please save me, give me some wood!"

Some people are crying out, some are pleading for help, but most people are struggling to survive. Even among those who still have the strength, how many are willing to go and rescue others? The high temperatures are expected to last for another two days, and no one knows how long they can endure it.

Not enough, still not enough!

Lin Yue had casually tossed her blanket aside, and despite standing near the 0-degree ice basin, she was already sweating slightly on her forehead.

Her hands were busy and her mind was racing. When she saw the two people still arguing and cursing among the huge number of requests for help on the public screen, she suddenly had an idea.
