With the injection of the cold green liquid, the effect was almost immediate.

Her headache was greatly relieved.

The areas of her body that were frozen and red gradually returned to normal.

Only then did Lin Chu wrap herself in a towel and walk out of the bathroom.

Before, when her head hurt, her attention was entirely focused on the pain in her head. Now that the pain had subsided, she could finally feel the bone-chilling cold.

She hurriedly retrieved a few pieces of smokeless charcoal from the four boxes White Wei had given her, lit the fireplace, and placed them inside.

Standing by the hearth, she found clean clothes and started putting them on, one by one.

After putting on a thermal shirt, a sweater, and a down jacket, she finally began to feel a slight warmth.

Only then did she turn her attention to the message that had popped up in her mind.

【Ding—Congratulations, host, you have completed the shelter placement task. The task reward is now being issued.】

As usual, it was a box familiar to Lin Chu.

She opened it with ease and took out her rewards.

1 Thermal Clothing
1 Box of Charcoal
1 Pair of Snow Boots
1 Pair of Military Boots
1 Military Thermos

These were all essential supplies that would help Lin Chu survive in this extremely cold world.

Especially the thermal clothing.

Lin Chu picked up the thin, cicada-wing-like skin-colored garment, and a description of the item popped up in her mind.

【Item: Thermal Clothing
Rarity: A
Item Description: Wearing it increases your body temperature by 25°C, an essential item for traveling in cold regions.】

Lin Chu could tell that the system didn’t seem to want them to die too quickly.

Each reward it gave seemed to help her better deal with the extreme environment she was in.

For instance, in this ultra-cold world, with temperatures below -50°C, from her brief experience with the cold, she estimated the temperature to be around -70°C here.

This was almost the lowest temperature the human body could endure.

After putting on the thermal clothing, her body temperature would rise by 25°C, and with the down jacket she was already wearing, the temperature here would be within a range the human body could withstand.

Moving around outside wouldn’t be as difficult anymore.

Lin Chu took off the clothes she had just put on, changed into the thermal clothing, and immediately felt warm.

As the fire in the stove grew hotter, the temperature inside the house gradually rose.

Lin Chu sat cross-legged in front of the stove and opened the task panel.

【Survival Task: Please survive for 30 days in the extreme cold world.
Task Difficulty: A-level
Special Difficulty Description: No clean and uncontaminated water sources are provided in A-level worlds. Please resolve the water supply issue on your own.
Task Reward: 150 points】

The difficulty of the task had indeed risen to A-level, just as she expected.

Lin Chu continued reading, and the next second, she froze.

【Daily Task (Optional): ???
Task Reward: 20 points】

The reward for the daily task had increased, but the task content was unclear.

“System, what’s going on?”

Lin Chu waited for a moment, but received no response from the system.

Just as she was about to stop waiting, a faint electrical sound emerged in her mind, and soon, the familiar electronic voice sounded.

【Host has not yet discovered the daily task objectives. The task content cannot be activated at the moment.】

This was troublesome.

Lin Chu knew that the difficulty of the world would increase as she progressed, and surviving would require more points to buy skills and weapons to arm herself.

But now, the quickest way to earn points, the daily task, hadn’t been activated.

As she pondered the task content, the system suddenly spoke again.

【Error detected during host deployment. Compensatory rewards are being issued. Please wait a moment.】

An error during deployment?

Lin Chu immediately remembered that after she woke up, there were only 12 minutes left for the task duration.

So it was a system error?

“What kind of abnormality occurred during deployment?”

Lin Chu tentatively asked.

【Sorry, host, this involves internal data confidentiality, and we cannot disclose it.】

Although the system’s response was still “no comment,” it seemed to be treating Lin Chu a bit better than before, likely because its error had almost caused trouble for her.

【Error compensation has been issued.】

Seeing this, Lin Chu quickly clicked on the details.

【Error Compensation: 1 Anti-theft Door Activation Voucher.】

【Item: Anti-theft Door Activation Voucher
Face Value: 130
Validity Period: 30 days
Item Description: After use, it can offset 130 points of the activation cost for the anti-theft door, requiring only 20 points to activate the anti-theft door for the current world.】

Lin Chu finally understood what people meant when they said that when a person reaches the extreme of speechlessness, they will laugh.

This system was learning the promotional tactics of her original world all too well.

It claimed to be compensating her, but in fact, it was encouraging her to spend.

But the anti-theft door was something Lin Chu had been meaning to activate.

Before using the voucher, Lin Chu asked the system a question.

“If I use the shelter position reset function, do I need to reactivate the anti-theft door?”

【No need, host. Once the anti-theft door is activated, it will be effective in the current task world, even if the position is reset.】

Upon hearing this answer, Lin Chu felt reassured.

She paid 20 points, activated the anti-theft door, and just as she raised her head, she saw Xiao Er standing outside, anxiously stamping his feet.

“Xiao Er, what’s wrong?”

Lin Chu stood up and walked outside.

As soon as she stepped out the door, she noticed the temperature had dropped significantly.

Because of the stove, there was now a temperature difference between the inside and outside.

“Master, the garden you asked me to take care of seems to be doing poorly. Xiao Er has been useless.”

Xiao Er lowered his head, looking somewhat downcast.

Lin Chu noticed that the tomatoes, potatoes, and lettuce in the yard seemed to be showing signs of decay.

The temperature was too low…

The potatoes were planted in pots, so they could be brought inside, but the tomatoes, lettuce, and other vegetables planted in the ground would be difficult to move inside.

Just as she was feeling troubled, she heard the sound of a door opening and closing.

The sound came from behind a door, as if someone had gone out.

Seeing there was no further movement, Lin Chu shifted her attention back to the shelter, just in time to hear a question from the system.

【Host, would you like to spend 60 points to activate the geothermal function in the front yard?】

Geothermal in the front yard?

Lin Chu quickly asked the system what this function would do.

【Once the geothermal function in the front yard is activated, the heat from the stove inside the house will also affect the front yard, bringing its temperature up to the same level as inside.】

Lin Chu understood from the description that it was similar to the underfloor heating in her original world, providing the heat from the stove to the front yard.

But…

“How is such a technology implemented?”

【I have my ways, host. You only need to decide whether to activate it.】

Activate it.

She naturally wanted to activate it.

60 points was a lot, but the plants in the front yard were valuable.

These would be her food source in the coming days.

Points were flowing like water, and soon Lin Chu’s account was down to 500 points. She then paid the electricity bill for this world.

Her points were now at 490.

With the front yard problem solved, Lin Chu reassured Xiao Er a few times, and he soon regained his energy.

Just then, Lin Chu heard a knock on the door of the shelter.

It was the door to her bedroom.
