[Food: Mineral Water (500ml) ×24, Steamed Buns ×20, Baked Flatbread ×18, Northeast Rice (50 jin) ×1, Spicy Prince ×2, Konjac Shuang ×3, Chips ×5, Cola (5L) ×1]

[Other supplies: Nutrient Solution ×2, Black Earth ×1, Chili Seedling ×1, Sichuan Pepper Seedling ×1]

After opening the supplies, Ji Xinghe decomposed all the chests.

Then she walked to the entrance of the Shelter and placed the Black Earth inside the Wooden Fence. She also planted the Chili Seedling she had just obtained.

"Chili Seedling, countdown to maturity: 6 days 23 hours 59 minutes."

She watered all the crops.

Ji Xinghe looked at the Unknown Sapling, which was so withered only a single branch remained, and fed it the Nutrient Solution from her backpack.

She didn't have much Nutrient Solution left, so the other saplings would have to do without.

Aside from the Peach Tree, which still needed over half a month to mature, the other crops—cabbage, watermelon, and strawberries—would be ready in just a few days.

The fastest-growing Ginger had already sprouted green shoots and could be harvested in three more days.

Stepping into the Shelter, Ji Xinghe stored all the basic materials and food from her backpack into the Storage Box.

A few special items remained in her backpack.

"Fire Spirit Stone: A fire-attribute spirit stone with a wide range of uses."

"Anti-Poison Mask (Purple): Equipment-type item."

"Trait: Anti-fog and anti-poison, can block 100% of fog poison below level ten."

"Note: A rare protective item for extreme weather conditions."

Ji Xinghe put the Fire Spirit Stone into the Storage Box, then stared blankly at the detailed description of the Anti-Poison Mask.

Thinking about the Blood Moon descending in a month, she couldn't help but shiver.

In her previous life, the Blood Moon had lasted ten full days. She had no protective gear at all. Even inside her Level 3 Shelter, which reduced the mutation rate by 50%, she could barely endure it.

If she hadn't accumulated supplies for a month and been lucky enough to obtain a potion recipe that reduced the mutation value, she might not have survived that time.

Ji Xinghe solemnly placed the Anti-Poison Mask in the top layer of the Storage Box.

Then she took out the Expansion Tickets.

"Advanced Backpack Expansion Voucher: Increases backpack grid count by 50 after use."

"Primary Capacity Increase Voucher: After use, designates one backpack grid's capacity limit to increase tenfold."

Without a second thought, she used both tickets immediately.

[Advanced Backpack Expansion Voucher used successfully. Space Grid +50.]

[Primary Capacity Increase Voucher used successfully. Space Grid No.1 capacity limit increased to 9990.]

Her backpack now had fifty more grids, bringing the total to one hundred and twenty.

With the expanded grid's capacity, she could store up to 120,000 units of wood alone.

Ji Xinghe moved most of her wooden arrows into Grid No.1.

Then she took out the Skill Book.

"Skill Book: After learning, grants the skill 'Purification Technique.'"

"Learning requirements: Spirituality > 10, Light Affinity ≥ 80."

She checked her skill bar.

Out of twelve skill slots, only the very first one was occupied, displaying: Small Light Ball Technique (Level 1).

Skills could be upgraded, but the method wasn't simple.

Upgrading required skill fragments, which could only be obtained by dismantling Skill Books. No matter what type of Skill Book, dismantling it yielded only one fragment.

A Level 1 skill needed ten fragments to level up.

Skill Books were rare to begin with. Most people learned them as soon as they got their hands on one—why would they have extras?

Unless someone's skill slots were full, or they thought the skill was too weak to waste a slot, and they were short on supplies—only then would they sell it.

After a moment of thought, Ji Xinghe still chose to learn it.

After all, one skill fragment wasn't enough to upgrade anything.

Even though the skill's name sounded more like a support type, who said support skills were useless? In her previous life, she had heard of a support expert in Area 100 who was the darling of the entire district.

Supplies came in effortlessly, and without fighting on the front lines, just by using skills, resources and experience flowed in.

Back then, Ji Xinghe had been quite solitary in the Survival World. Part of it was her personality, but another reason was her disability—teammates she matched with always felt she was holding them back.

Over time, fewer and fewer people were willing to team up with her for dungeons. The random teammates she matched with were even more bizarre.

There were those who refused to fight and dragged the team down, moral kidnappers, loud and noisy types, killers and looters... and so on—all kinds of abnormal people.

In front of these people, even a disabled person like her counted as perfectly normal.

She only wanted to enter solo dungeons, but she had to enter a multiplayer dungeon once a week—otherwise, the system would directly judge her for erasure.

Thinking about the upcoming dungeon, Ji Xinghe was still uncertain, unsure whether she should continue going solo.

Going solo might be better than her previous life—at least she wasn't disabled anymore, and she had more attack methods.

If she ran into people who killed and robbed, she wouldn't be afraid!

But she didn't want to run into those weirdos again. Just thinking about it sent chills down her spine. Some people did incredibly stupid things, but killing them for it didn't seem right either.

After all, she wasn't a murderer. She suddenly recalled a classic saying from the Survival World: Better a cunning enemy than a foolish teammate!
