Ahhhhh, high-altitude survival!

Seeing that it had quieted down, Lin Yue began to ponder silently. Wild boar meat granted a +1 to strength, but what about other meats? Could they have similar or even more powerful effects? If different animals' meats contained different attribute bonuses, would changing the cooking method make a difference? The more Lin Yue thought about it, the more excited she became, as if a whole new world was opening its doors to her. Perhaps she could try a different approach to this survival game!

Lin Yue decided to give it a try. Just as she was about to retrieve the meat, she suddenly remembered that not long ago, she had turned all the lark meat into steamed buns! She was immediately filled with remorse. Lark meat was probably the easiest type of meat to determine its properties; she could have used it to confirm her guess.

Moreover, besides Lark meat, the Lark King meat, which can permanently increase attribute values, is also worth trying! Unfortunately, that's no longer available.

When Lin Yue first received the item, she immediately made one for herself, successfully increasing her speed by 5 points. Later, after the system released the floating island battle mission, Lin Yue sold one of the remaining two items to Ni Yi at a high price, in exchange for an excellent-grade blueprint.

However, Lin Yue is currently unable to open this blueprint and has no idea what's inside. This blueprint requires at least 30 Intelligence points to unlock!

Ni Yi was quite frank; he didn't prioritize upgrading intelligence, and waiting until it reached level 30 seemed like a distant dream. He figured he might as well exchange it for something useful now. It was perfect for Lin Yue; her intelligence was already a high 26 points, so the day she unlocked the blueprint shouldn't be far off.

As for the last portion of Lark King meat, Lin Yue cut it into five pieces and distributed them to the other five people in the group. Lin Yue didn't ask for anything, and everyone gave what they had, allowing Lin Yue to earn another good amount of basic materials. Her platform floor has now been completely replaced with stone, which looks much safer than the original wooden floor.

Now that the lark meat was completely sold out, Lin Yue stopped worrying about it. She got a fresh portion of wolf meat and started thinking about what to do with it.

Grilled meat skewers? Stewed meat soup? Or sliced ​​thinly and stir-fried? Several cooking methods flashed through her mind for a moment, but she quickly suppressed them all.

Since the upgraded skill can increase the food's attribute value, it's better to make it into a more exquisite snack than a regular home-cooked meal. It can be carried around and eaten anytime, even during battle, and might even catch the opponent off guard.

After thinking for a while, Lin Yue operated the screen for a long time, turning the wolf meat into thumb-sized pieces. She even asked Han Weiyi for some chili peppers and made several different flavors, including braised, honey-glazed, and spicy, to see what the differences would be.

A few minutes later, the wolf meat cubes were ready. Lin Yue picked one up and looked at it—[Wolf Meat Cubes (Fine): Snack, skillfully extracted from the essence of wolf meat, carefully cooked through multiple processes. Firm and chewy texture, interwoven flavors, and an unforgettable aftertaste. Consuming it increases stamina by 10 and grants a 10-minute burst damage boost, increasing critical hit success rate by 10%.]

Critical hit success rate?

Lin Yue carefully scanned every line of information on the bracelet's data interface, confirming that the data was indeed not there. Could it be that there was hidden data within this game?

Lin Yue's heart skipped a beat. If there really were hidden data, would attributes like luck also be hidden, besides the critical hit success rate? After all, the survival rates of lucky and unlucky players in survival games are completely different!

If she can figure out the pattern of increasing these hidden data through food, then the advantages she will have later are obvious!

Now, Lin Yue no longer regretted not encountering the floating islands. She picked up another one to check; its effect was to increase strength by 1 for ten minutes.

Therefore, different cooking methods do indeed produce different results. Or rather, it's not just the cooking method, but even the different seasonings added will produce different final effects.

In this way, various possibilities and combinations began to emerge in Lin Yue's mind...

Just then, Zhou Zeyang sent another message in the group: "Comrades, this floating island is indeed rich in resources! I hadn't received any for a while, but I got a summons shortly after arriving on the island today! Anyone want to come and explore together? This island is huge, I definitely can't find it all by myself! And it's a good opportunity to practice together beforehand."

A silence fell over the group chat; everyone seemed to be waiting for Lin Yue to speak first. It seemed that at some point, everyone had gotten into the habit of asking Lin Yue for her opinion first.

Lin Yue thought for a moment and replied, "I won't go. I'm working on something right now. If it works, I'll give you a surprise tonight."

Lin Yue spoke up, and the group chat buzzed with excitement. Han Weiyi quickly chimed in, "Brother Zeyang, I can't go either! I'm busy opening chests right now! I've been to the floating island twice in the last couple of days and accumulated quite a few chests. So I was thinking of taking advantage of today's free time to open them all and see what treasures I can find inside. Maybe I can even snag some top-tier equipment or rare items! Hehe..."

Xu Tiantian quickly followed suit, saying she would also skip the equipment-making process and reminded Zhou Zeyang to hurry up and find materials, especially leather, as there was a significant shortage.

Liang Dong and Zhao Lei were both fine. After discussing it for a while, the group decided to let Liang Dong go first. After all, Zhao Lei and Zhou Zeyang were classmates and had a certain understanding with each other. Liang Dong was not familiar with the others, so he could go and get to know them better first.

Time flew by, and as dusk fell, Zhou Zeyang and Liang Dong finally returned. Both looked quite excited and generously shared several sweet potatoes with everyone in the group chat, clearly indicating that their trip to the island had been quite fruitful.

As darkness fell, the surrounding scenery gradually became blurred. Lin Yue, who had been on the platform all afternoon, had slowly figured out several relatively stable ways to increase temporary attributes with certain foods.

She discovered that, generally speaking, the more compatible the ingredients, cooking methods, and seasonings were, the more attribute points she would gain. Moreover, she seemed to have a knack for cooking; several times, the recipes she randomly put together turned out to be the most effective.

So far, excluding replenished stamina, the foods that most significantly boost attribute points are spicy wolf jerky, braised wild boar meat, roasted venison, and cumin potatoes.

Each piece of spicy wolf jerky can increase critical hit rate by 15% within 10 minutes, which is quite a powerful weapon.

Each serving of braised wild boar meat can increase strength by 3 for 30 minutes, which can play a significant role in both fighting enemies and transporting supplies.
