Ahhhhh, high-altitude survival!

My mental energy has completely disappeared?

Lin Yue stared at the panel for a while. About a minute later, the number in the mental strength column jumped from 0 to 1.

The dizziness has eased considerably.

So, the sudden dizziness and headache I just experienced were caused by excessive mental exertion?

But why is my mental energy being consumed so severely?

After thinking for a moment, Lin Yue's gaze involuntarily fell on the several large peas in her backpack.

Her total mental strength was 90, and she took out a total of 9 large peas, which was too coincidental.

To verify her guess, Lin Yue waited a few more minutes until her mental energy recovered to 11 points. She tried to take out the peas again, and sure enough, the large peas that had been motionless before now obediently appeared in her hand.

Lin Yue let out a long breath, feeling much more relaxed.

In other words, her current mental energy is only enough for her to take out 9 peas.

However, her mental energy recovers by 1 point per minute, so every hour and a half she can take out another 9 peas.

Although it has certain limitations, for someone who is only on her first day in a survival game, having a stable source of food is undoubtedly a good thing to celebrate.

Next, as long as she works hard to improve her mental strength, she will be able to retrieve more and more things.

Only then did Lin Yue realize that her lips were a little dry. She slowly stood up, intending to go to the box to get a bottle of water to drink and replenish her energy.

Passing by the tree branch that had almost hit her, Lin Yue bent down to pick it up and put it in the box. Just as her fingers touched the branch, another notification sounded: [Tree branch found, collect?]

Huh?

“Collect!” Lin Yue answered quickly.

[Collection successful. Gained 2 pieces of wood and 1 experience point.]

Lin Yue watched as the long branch under her hands turned into two square pieces of wood, and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow before continuing to walk towards the next branch.

[Collection successful. Gained 1 pieces of wood and 1 experience point.]

[Collection successful. Gained 1 pieces of wood and 1 experience point.]

[Collection successful. Gained 3 pieces of wood and 1 experience point.]

【…】

After Lin Yue cleared away all the branches, big and small, from the platform, she had 11 more pieces of wood in her backpack, and the build button was no longer grayed out.

Lin Yue clicked on the build option and found that the first icon was already lit up.

[Wooden Flooring (1 square meter): Used to extend the platform, providing additional footholds and living space. Required material: 4 wood (currently 11). Craft?]

“Make it!”

Lin Yue confirmed without hesitation.

[Completed. Please select a placement location.]

Lin Yue tried placing the floorboard in the exact center of the tree trunk's cross-section. The next second, Lin Yue saw that the originally uneven cross-section had transformed into a smooth and flat wooden floor with clearly visible surface texture, reminiscent of the wooden flooring in her living room.

Lin Yue made another one, and this time she placed it next to the first piece of flooring.

The two floorboards merged silently together, while the newly made one, having exceeded the cross-section of the giant tree, was half suspended in mid-air.

Lin Yue tapped it with the net and found it to be quite sturdy. She then tentatively stepped on it to confirm that there were no problems.

Now, she has a foothold that is one meter wide and two meters long.

The platform had become a bit bigger, and Lin Yue felt a little more relaxed. She looked up and carefully examined the branches above her head, then tried to reach them on tiptoe. No, even with the added length of the net, she couldn't reach them. It seemed that the only way to get new branches for now was to rely on the airdropped crates that would bring them down along with the branches.

Lin Yue sat on the wooden floor, her brows furrowed slightly as she pondered.

She remembered that in the initial area chat, many people mentioned their location, noting the presence of stone pillars, boardwalks, and windmills. This meant that not everyone could collect branches like she could.

However, without wood, the building button won't light up, and players can't build more stable footholds. The game system wouldn't completely cut off everyone's survival, so there must be other ways to obtain wood, and these must be methods accessible to everyone.

Thinking of this, Lin Yue turned her gaze to the wooden box next to her.

The only way for everyone to obtain it is through airdrops.

Sure enough, after she took all the items out of the box, a system notification sounded: "Wooden box found, collect?"

"collection."

[Collection successful. Obtained 5 pieces of wood, 5 pieces of iron nails, and 1 experience point.]

The wooden crate, after being harvested, turned into several planks scattered on the ground. Without hesitation, Lin Yue immediately turned these planks into new wooden flooring. Now, she had a 4-square-meter platform, and the wood was completely exhausted.

With the floor completed but the new airdrop still not arrived, Lin Yue once again immersed herself in the world of Plants vs. Zombies.

Although she can only take a limited amount of things from the game, she can quickly pass through the levels and unlock more plant illustrations. This way, when her mental strength is strong enough, she won't be in a "nothing to cook" predicament because she doesn't have enough plants.

Time always flies when playing games. Just as Lin Yue was constantly refining her "troop" formation and taking advantage of the time to continuously collect peas, the system notification sound for the second round of airdrops rang out again.

Lin Yue paused the game, still feeling a bit unsatisfied, and looked at the 16 extra peas in her backpack, feeling incredibly happy.

With the platform expanding and more resources at her disposal, Lin Yue suddenly felt much more at ease.

The second wave of airdrops roared again, and the wooden crates fell from the sky at an astonishing speed. Having learned from the first experience, Lin Yue was fully prepared. She stood there, silently calculating the distance the crates would fall, waiting for the perfect moment.

Still a little bit short...

immediately……

3,

2,

1,

Lin Yue silently counted down in her mind. The moment the countdown reached zero, she suddenly swung her hand, quickly flicking the net upwards and diagonally. Then, with a twist of her wrist, she swept it horizontally and caught it!

The moment the net caught the two airdropped wooden crates, Lin Yue couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

At that moment, a crate in the very center of the airdrop group landed right on her expanded platform, where it was firmly stopped by the wooden floor.
