It was late at night, and the Biogas Toilet had already begun construction.[Countdown: 3 hours.]It should be finished before she went to sleep.The Trash Can had finally been upgraded as well.The newly upgraded Trash Can had transformed into a sleek, black, square container. Golden patterns ran along the surface, shimmering and glowing with streams of flowing light.It was roughly the size of a roadside garbage bin.She could toss a huge pile of things into it at once, and it still would not be full.The moment the upgrade completed, the Trash Can popped out what looked like an instruction manual.The paper detailed the Trash Can's usage specifications:[Level 4 Trash Can][Experience Required for Next Upgrade: 10,000][Skills: Recycling & Reuse, Scrap-for-Money, Item Upgrading, Trash-to-Treasure][Notice 1: Only one skill can be used per day. If you wish to change it, you must wait until the following day.][Notice 2: If you use the Trash-to-Treasure skill, it can only recycle 10 times per day.][Regardless of how many items you recycle, you may only draw the daily lottery once.][Skill Descriptions]Lv1 Recycling & Reuse: Breaks down common trash into basic materials.Lv2 Scrap-for-Money: Recycles items into multiple basic materials; player can select fixed materials.Lv3 Item Upgrading: Combines similar types of trash into higher-grade materials; allows different or multiple identical materials to be recycled simultaneously.Lv4 Trash-to-Treasure: Inserts broken or incomplete items; has a low probability of producing complete blueprints or special tools. May also randomly generate daily necessities or food.After reading through the skill details, Yun Luohe gained a deeper understanding of how to utilize the Trash Can's functions.Since it had just upgraded, she decided to first use the three basic recycling skills to process all ordinary trash, and then switch to the Trash-to-Treasure skill after midnight.Yun Luohe placed the 150 units of trash Mu Zitang had given her into the wooden chest, instructing Ròubāo to continue tossing them into the Trash Can, while she herself focused on crafting various tools at the Workbench.Although she had obtained some Redwood, Yun Luohe was in no rush to craft a Beehive. After all, she did not even have bees yet. It would not be too late to make one once she secured bees.Instead, she crafted two more Furnaces. Furnaces were in high demand for numerous tasks—smelting steel ingots, firing glass, producing lime—it all required Furnace use.She also made a batch of Waterproof Cloth as a precaution. If she happened to acquire Black Sludge tomorrow and managed to produce Anti-Acid Coating, she could apply it directly to the Waterproof Cloth and Ceramic Tiles.Her Workbench never sat idle, and neither did the Forge or the Sewing Machine.The Forge was currently being used to upgrade her bow and arrows.First on the list was making additional quivers. She needed to carry more arrows. During today’s trip to Spider Island, she had lost far too many arrows. One quiver was far from sufficient. She had to prepare at least three quivers, each carrying 30 arrows.Fortunately, Yun Luohe still had spare Iron Ore and Refined Steel, so she decided to replace all the arrowheads with Refined Steel ones.Earlier, she had spent 5 units of Iron Ore at the Trade Center and managed to acquire a Bull Horn, perfect for crafting a high-grade bowstring. The hardwood required for the bow frame and arrow shafts could be substituted with Redwood. As for the feathers needed for the fletching, she already had Wild Pheasant Feathers in her possession.With the full set of high-grade bow materials gathered, there was no reason to delay the upgrade any further.Meanwhile, the Heavy-Duty Sewing Machine had just finished crafting a set of Crocodile Leather Armor, and now she intended to make Spider Silk Armor next.The blueprint for Spider Silk Armor was a reward from completing the Sacrifice Ritual quest.The Crocodile Leather Armor had been obtained through the Trash Can's recycling process, though it had cost her three damaged blueprints to piece it together.[Spider Silk Armor: Basic Armor. Lightweight, breathable, comfortable, sweat-absorbent. Increases Defense by 8 points. Grants spider-related special ability: protection from poisonous insects and scorpion stings.][Materials Required: Spider Silk ×10, Fiber ×40. Must be crafted using the Heavy-Duty Sewing Machine.]Compared to the Crocodile Leather Armor, the Spider Silk Armor was considerably inferior. The Crocodile Leather Armor was classified as Mid-Tier Armor and provided a +20 Defense bonus.But Yun Luohe only needed one set of Crocodile Leather Armor for herself. As for the Spider Silk Armor, she intended to mass-produce it and list it for sale at the Trade Center.She still had enough materials to produce 14 more sets of Crocodile Leather Armor.Those could go to auction, potentially exchanging for some blueprints or advanced materials.However, she definitely would not convert all her Crocodile Leather into armor. Overproduction would devalue the item quickly. At most, she would make five more sets.The remaining Crocodile Leather had to be reserved.Unlike Spider Silk Armor materials, which she had in abundance. She could mass-produce those without worry. Even if she exhausted her supply of Spider Silk, it would not bother her.Currently, many players still struggled to even fend off sea creatures, let alone set foot on the islands. To those with low combat stats, the Spider Silk Armor, though unimpressive to Yun Luohe herself, was a highly valuable item.More importantly, after seeing the Spider Queen’s Cloak, a piece of Legendary-grade armor, Yun Luohe had lost all interest in basic Spider Silk Armor.She crafted three sets of Spider Silk Armor and listed them on the Trade Center for a steep price: 15 units of Iron Ore per set.She estimated that demand for Iron Ore would only increase, and Iron Ore remained a hard currency in circulation. Now was the time to stockpile as much as possible.This time, Yun Luohe changed her usual selling approach. No more anonymity.She listed the items under her real name—Yun Luohe.She directly posted the Spider Silk Armor listings in the chat channel:“Spider Silk Armor available, limited quantity, act fast if you want it.”After sending the message, she turned her attention to studying the updated Trade Center regulations.Over the past two days of island exploration, the Trade Center had undergone several rule adjustments, which Yun Luohe had not yet reviewed in detail.Previously, sellers could operate anonymously, making it impossible to track them down after a transaction. Buyers who ended up with defective or counterfeit goods had nowhere to file complaints.Or situations where non-item trades lacked system guarantees.Or custom orders where deposits were paid, yet finished products never arrived.Or having materials embezzled during commissions, with the delivered products failing to match specifications…Many players even used the Trade Center as free personal storage, repeatedly listing and delisting items to exploit loopholes.Problems like these were rampant.To address these issues, the system had introduced a set of new regulations aimed at cleaning up the Trade Center.For example, if an item was listed for sale but remained unsold for over a day, players would be charged storage fees—For every 10 items, a fee of 2 Sea Stones applies.For less than 10 items, a flat fee of 1 Sea Stone applies.For anonymous seller transactions, any materials received would be held within the Trade Center for half a day before being transferred to the player’s personal backpack.For commissioned orders, once terms were finalized, both the deposit and the finished goods would be held within the Trade Center. If the buyer canceled the order early, the deposit would not be refunded. If the buyer was dissatisfied with the final product, both parties could request an arbitration by at least one [N O V E L I G H T] neutral player, who would determine where the fault lay. The system would then automatically penalize the guilty party.Additionally, players could now sign formal agreements through the Trade Center by paying a set amount of Sea Stones. If one party failed to fulfill the agreement, the system would forcibly deduct the corresponding compensation from that player's backpack as a breach-of-contract penalty, according to the agreement's terms.…These rules indeed provided plenty of convenience and significantly reduced underhanded exploits.Once Yun Luohe understood everything clearly, she canceled her previous anonymous settings and switched her Wealthy Lady Shop to real-name transactions.—There were not many players browsing the chat channel at the moment; most were busy battling sea monsters.Players like Yun Luohe, whose reef had not been visited by sea monsters lately, were rare.Yun Luohe herself found it frustrating. She actually wished more sea monsters would show up—but they simply did not.However, the players who did see her message grew excited.“Damn, armor? That’s some quality stuff. Of course it’ll sell out.”“This name looks so familiar… isn’t that the player who ranked sixth on the leaderboard before?”“Selling three sets of armor at once… yeah, they’re definitely a bigshot!”“Whose hands are that fast? I saw the message and went to buy immediately, but they were already gone!”“Shit, no wonder I couldn’t find them—they sold out instantly.”“Hahaha, I got one! Only three available, of course they vanished in seconds.”Yun Luohe received several private messages.Yang Mian: “Got any more armor? If you can make them, I want two.”Qin Sisi: “Could you help me craft two more? Do you need Spider Silk? I can provide the materials—whatever else you want, I’ll trade for it.”Bai Yuemian: “Can I still trade for Spider Silk Armor? I only just saw your message in the chat, waaah…”Yun Luohe chuckled. Seemed like the armor business would be easy money.Yang Mian and Qin Sisi were both players she had known for a while, with good rapport. She figured she could offer them priority access to her Crocodile Leather Armor, provided they had worthwhile items to trade.She responded to Yang Mian and Qin Sisi first:“Spider Silk Armor is basic armor. I still have Mid-Tier Armor available, but it’s much more expensive. If you only want Spider Silk Armor, I can get it to you tomorrow.”Yang Mian: “Name your price. I want two sets.”Qin Sisi: “Sure, what do you want for them?”Yun Luohe: “Weapon blueprints, skill books, or Parchment Fragments—at least two fragments, plus two units of Refined Steel.”It was late at night, and the Biogas Toilet had already begun construction.[Countdown: 3 hours.]It should be finished before she went to sleep.The Trash Can had finally been upgraded as well.The newly upgraded Trash Can had transformed into a sleek, black, square container.
