Dormitory group chat, my information updated daily.

Back in his dorm room, after closing the door, Wang Tianyuan frowned and asked:

"Brother Yun, why didn't you just sell it to Huang Haoran? That guy's not bad, he's clever and knows how to get things done. Building a good relationship with him will definitely be useful later. Besides, one rabbit for seven packs of instant noodles and two cans of cola—such a good deal, why not?"

Wang Tianyuan's face was full of regret and confusion:

"If you're not going to sell, fine, but why embarrass Chen Liming in public? We're all in the same class, we'll see each other all the time. Doing this will strain our relationship in the future."

"Don't worry, Ah Yun must have his reasons for doing this..."

Ji Mingyu said with a faint smile. Zhong Mo did not express his opinion, but just looked at Xiao Yun.

Xiao Yun chuckled lightly and explained calmly:

"There were too many people around. If I had sold it to Huang Haoran, would I have sold it to someone else who wanted to buy it? Besides, what if Chen Liming took a leeway today just to avoid offending him, and then he takes advantage of me in the future?"

Xiao Yun looked at Wang Tianyuan, his expression somewhat complicated:

"This is no longer the orderly society we used to be. It's not a good thing to get involved with someone like Chen Liming for no reason, especially since such relationships seem meaningless at the moment."

Wang Tianyuan remained silent, head bowed.

"Haha, I knew Brother Yun had his reasons for doing this. When has Brother Yun ever made a mistake in his command? Don't you think so, Young Master Yuan?"

Zhong Mo patted Wang Tianyuan on the back, and the latter simply smiled and replied:

"Yes, yes, yes."

"Enough of that, sir, light the fire and get the food ready."

As Xiao Yun spoke, he then looked at Ji Mingyu:

"Old Ji, don't rush. You stay at the door and keep watch until Huang Haoran comes back. When the corridor is quiet, take a rabbit to 304 and sell it to him. If he has a braising sauce packet, you can negotiate the price. If he doesn't have a braising sauce packet, sell him five packs of instant noodles and two cans of Coke."

"Tsk tsk tsk, making a fortune quietly, offering help in times of need, and even doing someone a favor on the side, you're really good at scheming."

Ji Mingyu smiled:

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it perfectly for you."

Xiao Yun nodded, then picked up the rabbit, grabbed the fruit knife, and headed towards the restroom.

He lived in the countryside with his grandfather for a period of time when he was a child and learned how to slaughter poultry.

After selling one to Huang Haoran, there were three rabbits left. Xiao Yun quickly skinned and gutted them.

After removing the skin, fur, and internal organs, what's left, bones and meat, weighs a good forty or fifty pounds! If we're frugal and add some wild vegetables and fruits, it's enough for four people to eat for a week.

"Ah Yuan, didn't you do wilderness survival before? You should have experience. Take the meat and put it in the storage room. Salt two-thirds of it, and eat the rest in the next couple of days."

Xiao Yun pointed to the storage room next to the sink, which had been opened up using a building card, and then to the balcony that had been expanded using an expansion card last night.

"Fatty, start a fire here."

"Alright!"

Wang Tianyuan and Zhong Mo agreed and began to act.

With the help of a lighter, the fire was quickly started. Zhong Mo had just received a pot when he settled his accounts last night, and it came in handy today.

Add spring water, and once the water in the pot boils, Xiao Yun throws in the second spine of the long-tailed rabbit.

Although the ingredients haven't arrived yet, Xiao Yun has already prepared for the worst.

"Even without the complete secret medicine, a soup made from the main ingredients should be quite effective."

Xiao Yun put the pot lid on, picked up the cut-up pieces of roast meat, and started roasting the meat next to the fire.

"I heard someone from 304 came back, so I went there first."

Ji Mingyu gave a greeting and then sneaked out with the rabbit.

Ten minutes later, Ji Mingyu sneaked back with a large bag in his arms.

"Phew—I haven't failed in my mission!"

"Hmm? Eight bags of instant noodles, two cans of cola turned into two bottles, Huang Haoran is something else, he knows how to handle people."

Xiao Yun casually offered a compliment, then asked:

"Doesn't he have any braised food packets? Oh, that's just wishful thinking on my part. He runs a convenience store at school, how could he possibly have them..."

As we were talking, a plastic package with the words "King of Lubricants" printed on it was handed to us.

"It was a gift from Huang Haoran. He said it's not really of any use to him anyway, so if you need it, just come and get it from him."

Ji Mingyu's smile was somewhat complicated. Xiao Yun was stunned for a moment, then chuckled.

"Huang Haoran... has found a wider path."

Xiao Yun called Zhong Mo over to confirm that all the materials for the braising package were complete.

Put all the ingredients into the pot, cover it, and begin brewing the secret medicine.

Wang Tianyuan also returned after finishing his work, and the four of them chatted while grilling meat.

After simmering for about an hour, the aroma of the braised pork rose with the steam, making the four of them drool.

"It smells so good! I can't resist! Can I eat it now?"

Wang Tianyuan was itching to try it, and Xiao Yun wanted to tell everyone to calm down, but the smell was just too tempting.

An ordinary spice packet, used to stew the second spine of a long-tailed rabbit, seemed so extraordinary. The aroma alone was enough to entice one to become intoxicated. Xiao Yun even heard a voice in his mind urging him on.

"It'll be cooked in an hour, it won't kill you, let's eat!"

Xiao Yun opened the lid, and was stunned by what he saw inside.

Inside the pot, the second spine of the long-tailed rabbit floated and swam like a jade dragon, surrounded by various spices that resembled mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas, forming a magnificent picture.

What was originally a whole pot of water turned into a thick, golden liquid an hour later, just like the legendary nectar.

"This is... the secret medicine!"

Xiao Yun's breathing quickened, and his expression instantly turned serious.

"One bowl per person, with the spine cut in equal portions."

"Mmm-hmm!"

The four men divided the spoils within minutes, leaving only a little soup in the pot.

Xiao Yun picked up a piece of spine and put it in his mouth. Just as he was about to chew, the spine suddenly turned into a cool liquid that flowed into his stomach.

Xiao Yun suddenly realized something, picked up the soup bowl, and drank it all in one gulp.

The piping hot soup is warm and sweet when you drink it, with a rich aroma of meat and herbs.

Inside the abdomen, two different liquids, one cold and one hot, intertwine and surge, like two long dragons galloping within.

Xiao Yun did not feel any discomfort. Instead, he felt a powerful yet gentle force spreading from his abdomen, flowing into his limbs and spine.

In an instant, Xiao Yun felt a significant change in himself. He was more energetic, his body felt lighter, and even the period of weakness after using the blessing disappeared without a trace.

[Great! Congratulations on successfully brewing the 'Constitution & Agility Elixir (E+)'. The relevant information has been entered into the encyclopedia.]

[Use the secret potion: Constitution +1, Agility +2]

"A major upgrade!"

Xiao Yun exclaimed, opened his eyes, and looked at his brothers who were equally surprised.

"Brother Yun is awesome!"

"Brother Yun is awesome! Hahaha! I knew it, following Brother Yun, I'd never have to worry about food or drink!"

"Ah Yun, I don't know how to repay you. How about... I wear my long johns inside out tonight? You can have them!"

"Go to hell, who the hell wants a damn old man like you..."

The four men laughed heartily, raised their glasses, and drank heartily, fully enjoying the bountiful harvest...

At midnight, the system's announcement sounded precisely on time:

[Ding! Congratulations on successfully surviving one day. Today's rewards are being calculated.]

Today, thanks to your knowledge of long-tailed rabbits' habits, you captured two, obtaining a source of reconstituted meat. Not only that, you also fully utilized your creativity, using unexpected bait to successfully lure a reverted long-tailed rabbit. Furthermore, in a desperate situation, you pushed your limits to successfully hunt and kill the reverted rabbit, obtaining the main ingredient for the secret medicine…

[You possess exceptional business acumen, trading long-tailed rabbits for more valuable food. Furthermore, your remarkable understanding of human nature allowed you to acquire the ingredients for the secret medicine for free… ultimately leading to the successful creation of the medicine, enhancing your strength and elevating the entire team to new heights!]

Overall rating: 41 points, reward being distributed:

[Congratulations on obtaining 1 Small Homestead Expansion Card, 2 Backpack Expansion Cards, 1 Small Vegetable Garden, 1 Stone Axe Crafting Recipe, 1 Stone Spear Crafting Recipe, and 4 Small Bear Traps]

Congratulations! You have received additional combat rewards: Strength +1, Intelligence +1

Holy crap!

Upon seeing the series of rewards, Xiao Yun was so excited he almost jumped out of bed.

While the equipment dropped from the Golden Treasure Chest is very appealing, the daily rewards offer real upgrades.

Vegetable garden, crafting blueprints, random accessories, animal traps—everything is a real, tangible item!

Not to mention the pure numerical increases in attributes like strength and intelligence.

Adding the attribute points gained from breaking through his limits during the day, Xiao Yun looked at his attribute panel and found that his total attributes had reached a terrifying 29 points!

Name: Xiao Yun

Occupation: None

Rank: None

[Talent: None]

Health Points: 149/149. (Regenerates 4.4 health points per hour)

The others only received participation prizes today, but because they drank the secret medicine, their scores were not low, and they all gained something.

Ji Mingyu received the following items: [Stone Campfire Building Card], [Fur Armor Crafting Blueprint], [Survival Dagger Weapon Card], and [Ground Cage] x2.

Wang Tianyuan received the following items: [Homestead Expansion Card (Small) x1], [Simple Wooden Bow Crafting Blueprint], and [Bird Whistle x4]

Zhong Mo received the [Wooden Barrel Manufacturing Blueprint] and the [Wooden Shield Weapon Card].

"We're way ahead! Our strength is absolutely unmatched in the entire Dormitory Building No. 3."

Wang Tianyuan said proudly, but Ji Mingyu poured cold water on his enthusiasm:

"Don't underestimate others. I heard from Huang Haoran today that there's a survival expert in our dorm who caught a pheasant with only simple tools and even made a spear out of cheap materials, almost killing a raccoon... There's also a super lucky guy who found a silver treasure chest while fetching water!"

"What a wealth of talent!"

Zhong Mo was amazed.

"However, we don't need to underestimate ourselves. According to the information we got from Huang Haoran, our exploration progress is unmatched in the entire dormitory building, and our overall strength ranks among the top."

Ji Mingyu smiled and patted Zhong Mo on the shoulder, then looked at Xiao Yun and said:

"Oh, by the way, I also heard from Huang Haoran about the results of yesterday's 'Treasure Chest Battle.' Guess what? Zhao Pengfei actually won!"

"Oh?"

"That guy is indeed quite skilled at fighting, but he won very badly. I heard that one of his roommates was injured, and the injured guy didn't come out to fight today."

Ji Mingyu smiled with a hint of schadenfreude, then a trace of worry flashed across his brows:

"I heard Zhao Pengfei said this morning he'd really teach you a lesson, but he hasn't contacted us today. Is he hiding somewhere, planning something big?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yun pondered for a moment, then smiled:

"The chances are slim. They worked for nothing yesterday and got nothing. Their share of the spoils will probably be low, their strength will only improve by a limited amount, and they even lost some men early because of the fighting. In the end, they definitely won't dare to come looking for us."

Xiao Yun paused, then added:

"Since they haven't made any moves yet, we don't need to worry too much. After all, they're one person short, so their strength improvement is definitely not as fast as ours. Even if they have any dangerous intentions, we can deal with them with our superior equipment and strength."

Xiao Yun spoke confidently, and the other brothers felt reassured by his words.

Over the past two days, Xiao Yun's performance has gradually won over the other three, and he is slowly becoming the backbone of the entire team.

After quickly arranging resources and buildings, expanding his backpack to ensure there was enough space to store unused equipment, Xiao Yun took out the [Random Accessory Card] and [Random Equipment Card] he had obtained on the first day from his cabinet.

Two consecutive draws.

A flash of light, and two cards appeared before my eyes.

Equipment: Travel gloves

Quality: [F]

Attack: 1

Special effect:

【Gathering I】: When gathering resources, perfectly obtain the gathered resources and gain 1.2 times the gathered resources. This effect weakens as the quality of the gathered resources increases.

Durability: [400/400]

Equipment requirements: None

"That's a bit unlucky..."

Xiao Yun sighed inwardly, then looked at the next piece of jewelry, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

Equipment/Accessory: [Emblem of Blood and Fire]

Quality: [E]

Attack: 0

Special effect:

【血与火之诗】：每5秒燃烧3/5/9/15/21……点生命值，获得力量/敏捷+0.5/1/2/4/6……属性提升，属性提升效果随每秒燃烧生命值增多而增多，最多使当前属性翻倍。

Durability: [600/600]

Equipment Requirements: [A living creature with blood]

[Description: The inherited talent of a certain royal family was crafted into an emblem and bestowed upon its warriors. They conquered vast territories with blood and fire, but ultimately perished in the crimson flames...]

"It's a Pyrrhic victory; if I inflict a thousand damage on the enemy, I'll lose eight hundred myself. With my current health, I can only maintain this for less than five minutes until I die. Under normal, all-out attack conditions, I can only maintain it for a maximum of three minutes..."

Xiao Yun silently did the calculations and couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.

This calculation is still under ideal conditions. Today's fight with the long-tailed rabbit made Xiao Yun clearly realize that his various attributes are only quantified, not that he is invincible. Once his health drops to an extremely low level...

Even now, recalling that desperate, near-death experience still makes Xiao Yun feel uneasy...

"However, it can be a trump card in desperate situations. Although it's not as good as breaking through the limit, it has the advantage of being stable."

After all, you can't break through the limit just like that, but as for health, you can restore it by burning it.

[Ding! The Poem of Blood and Fire is equipped!]

Xiao Yun equipped himself with the Blood and Fire Poem and originally wanted to wait for tomorrow's preview, but he couldn't withstand the fatigue of the day and soon fell into a deep sleep.
