Ahhhhh, high-altitude survival!

Lin Yue and the others, of course, were unaware of Huang Wenmin's thoughts. After thoroughly humiliating Huang Wenmin, the group began to eat and chat happily. Of course, apart from Lin Yue, everyone else unanimously put away the food that could increase attribute values ​​and simply ate steamed buns and dumplings.

Lin Yue didn't care about them. She had already given them the food, and she didn't intend to interfere too much with how or when they planned to eat it.

Even though they were only eating xiaolongbao and steamed dumplings, the atmosphere in the group chat was still lively. Just then, Jiang Siwei sent a message: "[Flying claw.jpg], Lin Yue, take a look, do you want some?"

When Lin Yue opened it, she noticed that it was somewhat different from the grappling hooks she had seen in real life. Jiang Siwei had used quite a few nails to secure the connection between the lark's claws and the rope, indicating that making a grappling hook was indeed not that simple.

The attribute values ​​are straightforward: [Grapple (Normal): A climbing tool that allows players to climb various terrains more easily. Speed ​​+2 when equipped.]

Lin Yue quickly replied, "Yes, I'll trade you food?"

Jiang Siwei readily agreed: "Okay!"

So, Lin Yue sent the other six lark claws and hemp rope to Jiang Siwei, along with two servings of steamed dumplings and two servings of xiaolongbao. Just as she was about to send the message, she saw that there was still more than half a bucket of seaweed and egg drop soup left and Bai Shuang, who was hiding far away and gnawing on meat. After thinking for a moment, Lin Yue filled a mineral water bottle with soup and sent it over.

Jiang Siwei seems to be an agile type of player, so the acceleration value of this seaweed and egg drop soup should be just right for her.

Jiang Siwei hadn't expected that the food she had just been praising in the public chat would appear before her eyes now. She remained silent for a while before saying, "Lin Yue, my senior brother told me today that he had encountered Li Guang in the arena and that he was a martial arts expert. Although he hadn't met Huang Wenmin, he remembered him and guessed that he was Li Guang's fellow disciple. You need to be careful tomorrow."

Does he have a background in martial arts?

Hearing Jiang Siwei's words, Lin Yue was stunned for a moment before realizing what he meant. She immediately understood why Zhao Yuxuan, who seemed quite shrewd, had always indulged these two seemingly dim-witted individuals. It turned out that while these two might be simple-minded, they were quite physically capable.

But why would she be afraid? It's just a matter of "meeting the enemy when they come, and dealing with the flood when it comes!" Lin Yue looked down at Bai Shuang, who was happily munching on meat at her feet, and then touched the fully prepared army of plants in her backpack compartment. A smile appeared on her lips: "Okay, I understand. Thank you, Jiang Siwei."

They'd better not come knocking; if they do, they won't be easy prey.

Lin Yue slept very well that night.

At seven o'clock the next morning, she opened her eyes on time. She first received the six grappling hooks sent by Jiang Siwei, and then quickly began to wash up and change her clothes.

After tidying herself up, Lin Yue was about to use her fully restored mental energy to retrieve two more plants from the game when she saw Xiao Lin Yue holding a small bag, diligently fertilizing the apple tree on the lawn.

The apple tree, which was originally in the "growing" stage, began to turn red at a visible speed after she sprinkled this bag of fertilizer. The progress bar also rose rapidly and was soon approaching the "ripe" mark.

Lin Yue immediately noticed the abnormality. She was fertilizing the apple tree she planted in the pot every day, but the effect was obviously not as obvious as that of Xiao Lin Yue's apple tree.

Lin Yue's consciousness immediately shifted, and she took out a bag of fertilizer, transferred it to her hand, and examined it carefully.

[Fertilizer (High-Quality): A high-efficiency plant nutrient agent with natural organic ingredients. After use, it significantly improves soil fertility, promotes root development, and enhances plant growth rate and yield.]

Is this a high-quality fertilizer? Lin Yue was a little doubtful, as the fertilizer produced by the automatic toilet before was clearly only of ordinary quality.

Lin Yue put the fertilizer back, then touched her slightly swollen belly and couldn't resist taking the toilet out to test it. A dozen minutes later, she stood there deep in thought, holding several bags of freshly made, high-quality fertilizer.

So, as your cooking skills improve, not only do the foods you cook get attribute bonuses, but the fertilizer also gets upgraded along with them? That's a win-win situation.

However, the reason her fertilizer was able to level up was because she ate foods that increased attribute values ​​last night. But this time, she didn't give Xiaolin Yue any food, so where did her fertilizer come from?

Lin Yue watched as Xiao Lin Yue crammed another giant "wall of nuts" into the food processor, and suddenly a thought flashed through her mind. Could it be that her skill upgrades could be shared with Xiao Lin Yue?

Verifying whether this conjecture is correct is actually very simple. Just wait for Xiaolin Yue's batch of potato chips to be ready, and we'll know.

Lin Yue sprinkled a bag of fertilizer on the apple tree in the planting pot. Seeing its progress bar advance, she washed her hands in satisfaction. At this moment, the apple tree on the Plants vs. Zombies lawn had completely turned into a "ripe" state. With a flick of her mind, Lin Yue picked a fruit and took it out.

The apples that were taken out were round and plump, like perfect works of art. The skin was a bright red, with a faint yellow tinge near the stem. Even without getting close, you could smell the fresh and sweet aroma. This fragrance seemed to have an extraordinary allure, making Lin Yue, who was not usually interested in apples, swallow hard.

After rinsing it with water, Lin Yue picked up the apple and took a bite. With a crisp "crunch," the flesh broke, followed by a burst of sweet and slightly sour juice in her mouth.

"That's great," Lin Yue chewed with satisfaction. After finishing, she washed another one and handed it to Bai Shuang beside her.

Bai Shuang's eyes were still half-closed, and she didn't seem fully awake. Seeing the apple offered to her, she curled her tongue and popped it into her mouth. After chewing a few times, she said with some lingering satisfaction, "This apple is delicious, but sister, why are you giving me this kind of intelligence-boosting fruit? I'd rather have something that boosts strength!"

Increase intelligence?

Lin Yue was taken aback and immediately checked her own personal panel, finding no changes. Then, she checked Bai Shuang's panel and, sure enough, Bai Shuang's intelligence value had changed from 17 to 18.
