Suddenly, Qin Zhiyu’s eyes lit up—Insulation Coating, Insulation Paper, and Insulation Curtain, a three-piece set! Crimson Iron Quality! The seller was asking for self-valuation!
Wasn’t this practically delivering Resources to her doorstep?
The second Heavenly Disaster in her previous playthrough had been extreme heat. Back then, she had relied on water heated to over thirty degrees just to cool herself down—yes, that was already the lowest temperature indoors.
Most of the Resources she had painstakingly gathered were spent on trading for ice, yet it was still a drop in the bucket. She had suffered unbearably under the scorching heat.
Just by looking at this three-piece set, she knew exactly what it was for. She absolutely had to get it!
Qin Zhiyu opened the private message.
Ferry Shelter: Insulation Coating, Insulation Paper, and Insulation Curtain—Crimson Iron three-piece set. Self-valuation required, not lower than Bronze.
Not lower than Bronze? That meant her available Resources were limited. She would have to offer the Kitchen Blueprint and Bronze Protective Suit Blueprint she still had listed.
Dawn Shelter: One Bronze Protective Suit Blueprint. Deal?
Qin Zhiyu sent the message and waited. After a few minutes without a reply, she wasn’t too anxious and set the matter aside for now.
She took out the Cactus Fruit. Generally, Cactus Fruit was edible, and even if mutated, it was still essentially Cactus Fruit.
The fruits weren’t large, each only about the width of two finger joints. She ate a few and found the taste quite pleasant—a sweet and sour juice sliding down her throat into her stomach. Slowly, a warm current spread from her stomach to her limbs, as comforting as a hot bath.
Qin Zhiyu paused. Did this fruit have a heating effect? She took out two more and ate them, but this time, there was no effect like the first three. Was the fruit a one-time thing?
Her eyes lit up again. If that was the case, then the Cactus Seed Fruit she planted might also have such an effect, right?
Qin Zhiyu felt as if she had stumbled upon another way to make a fortune. Riding on this burst of energy, she stood up and practiced the Grappling Technique. The more she fought, the stronger her combat ability became—why did her arm strength feel even greater now?
Did the Cactus Fruit also have the ability to increase strength? Was the effect temporary or a permanent improvement? Qin Zhiyu opened her Attribute Panel.
【Name】: Qin Zhiyu (Human)
【Age】: 20
【Life】: 27 + 27 * 3 * 10% = 35.1
【Constitution】: 12 + 3 = 15
【Strength】: 10.5 + 10.5 * 10% * 3 = 13.65
【Agility】: 12 + 12 * 10% * 3 = 15.6
【Stamina】: 36 + 36 * 10% * 3 = 46.8
【Intelligence】: 15 + 15 * 10% * 3 = 19.5
【Skills】: Novice Grappling Technique 【50/500】; Beginner Shooting 【36/100】; Beginner Swordsmanship 【46/100】
The attribute points showed no time limit, meaning the improvement was permanent. For the Personal Panel in the Heavenly Disaster, the later it was, the more valuable a 10% increase in base attributes became. This also proved how difficult it was to gain each additional attribute point.
These Cactus Fruit could enhance Constitution. Aside from the increased attribute points, her personal strength had improved significantly—her Grappling Technique had leveled up, and she had gained proficiency in Beginner Swordsmanship. Not bad at all.
Suppressing her excitement, she looked at the Summoning Scroll. She wondered what this Summoning Scroll would Summon for her.
【Bronze Summoning Scroll】Using it can summon pets below Bronze level. Non-chiefs may fail to summon.
Qin Zhiyu silently chanted the summoning in her heart. For her, failure? Nonexistent—she was just that confident!
【Heavenly Disaster: You have obtained an Ordinary Robot】
Huh? Qin Zhiyu was slightly surprised. Ordinary quality? And a robot?
This exceeded expectations. Perhaps her luck had been too good lately, so looking at this robot, she actually felt it was a bit ordinary.
A robot… She had thought she would summon something like a cat or dog, but instead, it was a lifeless robot. There was a bit of a letdown.
【Confirm naming the robot 007?】
Qin Zhiyu clicked confirm and checked its attributes.
【Robot 007: Functions need to be discovered independently. Consumes one Crystal per day.】
Functions need to be discovered independently, huh? And it consumes one Crystal per day, so her Sanctuary would now consume two Crystals daily. Another gold-devouring addition—she wondered if it was worth it.
The robot’s appearance wasn’t particularly special: a round head and a smooth metallic body, standing one and a half meters tall, with two inorganic black eyes embedded in its head. Overall, it looked like a legless, arm-bearing sunny doll.
Qin Zhiyu tried giving a command, “007, sweep the floor.”
007: Master, I am not a floor-sweeping robot. I cannot sweep the floor for you.
Uh…
“007, fetch me a glass of water.”
007: There is no water-pouring command in the system. Unable to complete the instruction.
“007, go peel an apple for me.”
007: Master, I do not have apple-peeling components. I cannot peel apples.
“007, can you do laundry?”
007: I am truly very sorry. 007 is an intelligent robot, not a low-end washing machine, so 007 does not possess washing machine functions.
“Then what can you do, 007?” Qin Zhiyu tried a series of commands and found none could be executed. Feeling rather speechless, she asked.
007: Master, I can manage your household for you.
“How do you manage a household?”
007: Please provide me with one Crystal, Master, and I will demonstrate for you.
Qin Zhiyu was full of question marks. Wanting to tease 007 and test its intelligence, she replied, “I don’t have any Crystals left. What should I do if I can’t afford to keep 007?”
Qin Zhiyu didn’t expect it to actually respond.
007: Master, I can bind with your Sanctuary and share Crystals.
【Please confirm whether to bind the Sanctuary with Robot 007】
【Confirm】
Yesterday wasn’t a full day, but it still consumed one Crystal. Today consumed another. Logically, there should be four left after binding with the robot, but now there were only three.
Qin Zhiyu was quite satisfied. This robot could even scan the Crystals inside the Sanctuary—quite intelligent, even though it couldn’t do anything she asked.
007: Master, the raw materials for the tool room outside your house are now ready for construction. Shall I develop it for you?
At this point, she was a bit surprised. She hadn’t put away the Blueprint; it was lying on the table, and the materials were placed outside the house. Its scanning range was quite extensive.
This revealed another new function—it could scan the outside. So, it could also constantly monitor the surroundings of the Sanctuary, making up for the shortcomings of the Reconnaissance function.
That seems quite good then, usually to relieve boredom, it’s also quite nice, lest I stay alone in the Sanctuary, which is somewhat empty.
【Confirm development of tool room】
007: Master, you can grant me the authority to upgrade and construct functional areas. After scanning the Sanctuary’s Resources, I can automatically upgrade them for you.
“Alright.”
As she spoke, Qin Zhiyu followed 007 towards the entrance, dividing five square meters from the living room near the main door, which became the site for the tool room.
When the tool room began construction, 007 stood beside the materials outside. Under the familiar light, the selected raw materials vanished on the spot, and the tool room gradually took shape within the Sanctuary. In less than ten minutes, a brand-new tool room was completed.
