Ahhhhh, high-altitude survival!

Lin Yue opened her private chat and sent a message to Zhou Zeyang: "Zhou Zeyang, do you have a way to buy that blueprint that Zhao Yuxuan has?"

Lin Yue was getting annoyed by these people repeatedly causing her trouble. She didn't intend to repay evil with kindness by telling Zhao Yuxuan and the others the production method, but that didn't mean she couldn't tell others.

Zhou Zeyang instantly understood Lin Yue's meaning, his eyes lit up, and he replied excitedly, "No problem, Sister Lin, just wait for the good news."

A few minutes later, Zhou Zeyang said, "Done! Sister Lin, who should do this?"

Lin Yue: "You guys decide for yourselves, and hurry up! I feel like everyone's about to give up."

One by one, people disappeared, and the numbers above the area chat decreased one by one. In the public chat, everyone seemed to be either tired or dizzy, and the atmosphere gradually became gloomy.

Zhou Zeyang nodded, and after a short while, a new vendor appeared on the public screen.

Lin Yue didn't dare to stop for a moment, enduring it until seven o'clock in the evening.

After the sun set at six o'clock, the temperature on the platform gradually dropped, and by seven o'clock it had dropped to 30 degrees Celsius. Most people breathed a sigh of relief, and the system announcement arrived late.

[Congratulations to all players! You have successfully survived the first day of the heatwave. The grumpy animals have fallen asleep, so you can rest well and face tomorrow's challenges with renewed energy!]

"Holy crap, a challenge? A challenge for balls!"

"It's finally over! Damn it."

"There are only two days left, what are we going to do?!"

"Don't think about it anymore, just go to sleep. I can finally get a good night's rest."

The group chat was still lively, but Lin Yue couldn't care less. She staggered back to her bedroom, plopped down on the bed, and fell asleep instantly.

On the fourth day of high-altitude survival and the first day of scorching heat, we finally made it through.

The next day, Lin Yue got up at six o'clock. She dragged the stove next to the workbench and started cooking pea and lark meat porridge while making ice basins. Her teeth and cheeks were a little sore from chewing on dried meat all day yesterday, and she wasn't going to torture herself like that today.

Lin Yue roughly estimated that she sold over nine hundred ice basins yesterday, while Zhou Zeyang sold a little less, but still over six hundred. With a full night's rest, most of the mild heatstroke had subsided, and with yesterday's experience, today's situation should be better.

As Lin Yue had predicted, several more people unlocked the ice basin crafting skill and began selling them in the regional chat over the next two days. Perhaps influenced by Lin Yue and Zhou Zeyang, the overall prices weren't too high, greatly alleviating the survival pressure on players in the seventh district.

At 8:00 PM on the third day, the long-awaited system notification sounded again:

[Congratulations to all players for successfully passing the first test of the scorching heat! The number of survivors in this region is 6313, ranking first among all regions. All negative status effects on surviving players have been removed, and each player is rewarded with 1 point of Strength, Defense, Speed, and Intelligence.]

[The number of surviving players in Zone 7 exceeds 5000; no zone merge is needed.]

This message, like the previous regional announcements, was broadcast three times and pinned to the top of the regional chat.

The players in the entire seventh district were in an uproar:

"Awooooo, I'm alive again!"

"Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, holy crap! I got pecked in the bird while I was killing it, and I kept losing health. I thought I was going to die, but now I'm all healed!"

Wow, we're number one! It feels so awesome!

"That's right!"

"And I even got attribute points added! I feel like I've been reborn!"

"Me too, me too! I was feeling dizzy, but it all went away in an instant. It's amazing!"

"Hahaha, my strength is now 20! I just tried it out and I actually smashed a locked wooden crate in one go!"

Wow, that's amazing!

"Dude, that's amazing!" Just as everyone was discussing this, the system's second announcement came.

[According to system data, player Lin Yue made the highest contribution to the seventh district in this round of trials, and is hereby rewarded with an additional 4 points each in Strength, Defense, Speed, and Intelligence.]

[According to system data, player Zhou Zeyang ranked second in contribution to the seventh district in this round of trials, and is hereby rewarded with an additional 3 points each in Strength, Defense, Speed, and Intelligence.]

[According to system data, player Ni Yi ranked third in contribution to the seventh district in this round of trials, and is hereby rewarded with an additional 2 points each in Strength, Defense, Speed, and Intelligence.]

Now, the chat channel became even more lively.

Wow, Lin Yue added so many attribute points! I'm so envious!

"Waaaaah, I'm so envious! But she deserves it. If she hadn't started selling ice basins first, so many more people would have died in our district!"

"Yes, that's right. If it weren't for the ice basin that Lin Yue sold to me at a low price, I would have been dead by now. How could I have gotten a +1 to all my attributes? Lin Yue, thank you so much. If you ever need my help in the future, just let me know."

"Me too, me too! Lin Yue, feel free to call me if you need anything."

The chat was filled with laughter and conversation, but a few people were a bit out of place.

Huang Wenmin: "Hehe, didn't Lin Yue collect any supplies? She must have made a lot of money selling ice basins these past few days, right?"

Li Guang: "That's right. If she hadn't refused to reveal how to make the ice basin, maybe more of us would have survived."

Zhao Lei: "Tsk tsk tsk, what a strong sour smell! Did someone's lemons rot?"

Huang Wenmin: "That's right. It's really clever of you to be selfish and still get everyone's gratitude."

Zhao Lei: "Hehe, sour, sour, I won't tell you, I'll make you so angry!"

Xu Tiantian: "That's right, anyway, your blueprints weren't wasted!"

Huang Wenmin: "You! So Ni Yi really is in cahoots with you! You scoundrels, you rabble!"

Zhao Lei: "Tsk tsk tsk..."

Xu Tiantian: "Hehehe..."

Other players: "Hahaha..."
