Yun Luohe was wondering whether she should package and release the Spider Ecosystem System—a bundle that included Crimson-Blood Spider breeding, optimized tissue cultivation, and the Broodraising Guidebook. It could fetch a good price and be exchanged for the resources she needed.The Conch Communicator rang several times before she picked up from higher ground.“Yun, we’re just one day away from the merger and launch of ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) the Exchange System. Today’s the seventh day—the trading systems will merge tomorrow.”Yun Luohe said, “I think we should give away three pieces of A-tier intel for free, then announce that one day later we’ll open up to the public. That way, we can use the free intel as a package to promote the Pavilion.”Mu Zitang’s voice came calmly: “Yun, you’ve already said what I was thinking. I’m currently sorting through which intel is suitable to put out.”“Long-range sea intel, seasonal-island intel, sea-merchant intel, anti-radiation potion intel… By now, most players have a general idea of these categories. We can select from there.”“True. I’ll convene an internal meeting with the higher-ups of Tianji Pavilion, choose among them, and the best will be released as the free A-tier intel. If it looks promising, we can keep expanding the package.”“Alright, handle it your way. I still have a lot of intel here to organize too. I’ll sort them and send over to the Pavilion whenever I have downtime.”“Fine, Yun. I also went through the intel you sent earlier, and I had an idea. Since the spiders have been bred to this stage and even spin silk, why not treat them as a production line?”“It’s doable. Many worker-spider classes can produce specific materials, including silk-spinning types.”“Exactly. If ordinary spiders can spin, or Crimson-Blood Spiders can be raised, then their silk might be useful for all sorts of things.”Yun Luohe’s thoughts shifted. That might be possible. But since spider silk requires a specialized skill, we’ll probably need dedicated tools as well.“Wouldn’t a professional weaving master also be able to handle it?”

Yun Luohe slapped her thigh—how could she have forgotten about weaving masters?She already had things like the Spider-Breeding Crystal, which could be used to issue commands to spiders. A weaving master might also have similar tools.Mu Zitang had given Yun Luohe additional inspiration, but she didn’t have the time to handle it herself. She could hand it over to professionals, let the Pavilion’s internal departments bring in weaving masters, and have them research it.When the time came, Yun Luohe could also send over dozens of Crimson-Blood Spiders to the weaving masters for training.…Very quickly, it was already the ninth day.Yesterday Yun Luohe had gone diving again, locating an underwater ruin and collecting Blue Crystal fragments and ore.Today, without pause, she climbed ashore onto an Autumn Island.She used a standard Landing Card and set foot on the Autumn-Season Main Island—Maple Island.The red maples covering the mountains were shrouded in a layer of mist. Their crimson branches hid in the fog, appearing faintly, like a living ink painting, beautiful beyond compare. In autumn, the sight of the fiery-red maple forest stretching across the sky was stunning enough to stop anyone in their tracks.If only there weren’t the persistent trails of radiation fog drifting in the distance, it would be even better.The plants on the island had been completely dyed by the radiation fog, turning into a withered yellow. Maples had relatively strong vitality, but even so, many of them had already shrunk down.Maple sap could still be collected, as long as one had a Sap Collector.Yun Luohe had known before setting foot on Maple Island that such a resource existed here, but fortunately, once she reached the island, obtaining Sap Collectors was easy—the Trade Hub had plenty of sellers, and the price wasn’t high.She found a seller—fifty Sea Coins for one.With so many maple trees across the entire island, even just fifty Sap Collectors weren’t enough.If she wanted a decent harvest from even one section of forest, she’d need at least a hundred collectors.Creatures tainted by radiation fog were everywhere on Maple Island.Soon, Yun Luohe discovered a herd of deer deep in the maple forest that had also been contaminated.The sickly deer had been warped by radiation, their antlers sharp enough to wound, and their bodies carried neurotoxins that could drive Sanity into a frenzy. In the short term there was no way to recover.The reason Yun Luohe noticed them was that she had already seen many players on the island who had collapsed from Sanity dropping too low and losing consciousness.Most of them must have been struck by these deer in Maple Forest, lost their Sanity, and then blacked out.If this kept up, not only would the spread of contamination worsen, but many players would likely die on the island. They wouldn’t even be able to last until the system auto-teleported them back out the next day.Yun Luohe couldn’t ignore it. Without hesitation, she pulled out a box of Clear-Mind Mint Balm and helped the unconscious players rub some on. At the very least, it let them briefly recover enough clarity to act on their own.A few of those she saved wanted to hand her resources in thanks, but others, once awake, didn’t thank her at all—instead, they gave her wary looks, as if afraid she might rob them.Of course, Yun Luohe didn’t bother arguing. She left them behind and went into the herd of tainted deer.After killing several of them, she collected a lot of contaminated venison. At first glance it looked inedible, but she thought that if she processed it properly, perhaps it could be turned into something usable.If it couldn’t be cooked, then at the very least it might be turned into feed.The problem was, Yun Luohe didn’t need any more feed right now. Every pet already had a stable daily ration. Even if she forced Roubao to eat extra, its training efficiency wouldn’t go up. Instead, if she stuffed it too much, its growth rate might even decline.This was exactly the difference between higher-level professions. Many players thought that once a skill reached a certain level, they would suddenly gain special abilities. In truth, that wasn’t how it worked. To advance, cooking wasn’t about brute force—it was about constantly honing skill and technique, or else you’d stagnate.Maybe the contaminated venison could be dumped into a Trash Bin and purified that way.After all, her Trash Bin still had the purification function.That gave Yun Luohe a new direction. It seemed she had never actually tried putting contaminated food into the Trash Bin.If it really could be purified, then she could harvest large quantities of tainted meat and process it that way.For other players, it was just garbage. But for her, it was good material.It was just like when she first entered the game—she had collected all the discarded trash other people didn’t want.Though now she was no longer at that desperate scavenger stage, as long as she could turn it into something usable, food supplies were always beneficial.And—With the Trade Hub merge happening tomorrow, if her idea was proven right, then by tomorrow she could start mass-collecting contaminated meat, purify it at ultra-low cost, and convert it into proper goods. After a bit of simple processing, she could sell it for a high price. Even if she didn’t put it directly on the Trade Hub, just moving it through the Association Exchange Mall would bring a hefty profit.The more she thought about it, the more excited Yun Luohe became. On Maple Island, she began hunting contaminated animals nonstop.Whether rabbits or deer, she killed more than a few.Each rabbit gave two or three catties of meat, each deer over a hundred catties. In just one sweep she had taken down dozens.Yun Luohe’s arms were soon full of animal hides and pelts, her backpack bulging with meat.By the time all the Sap Collectors were brimming with maple sap, Yun Luohe glanced at the forest one last time, then, satisfied, said quietly, “Enough hunting. Meat’s plenty. Let’s head back.”She carried everything to the Trash Bin for purification.
