"A treasure basin?"
Looking at the treasure basin in her hand, which looked very expensive, Ding Yun muttered and began to search it.
She wanted to see if there was a manual or introduction.
Although there were many legends about treasure basins in this world, Ding Yun didn't know if the golden finger design department had designed it based on the legends, nor which legend they had based it on.
After searching for a while, Ding Yun discovered that this was probably not a technological creation. There was no instruction manual, and it was most likely a spiritual or magical artifact.
She would have to try and figure out its function herself.
So, in the next second, she picked up a good-looking stone from the side and threw it in. Then she waited quietly to see what changes would happen to the stone in the treasure basin. Would it multiply, or would it improve?
Before long, Ding Yun watched with her own eyes as the stones in the treasure basin continuously multiplied.
Eventually, a basin full of stones grew, all of them identical to the one she had thrown in earlier.
However, once the stones filled the treasure basin.
The stones inside stopped increasing.
As soon as Ding Yun took one out, the vacant space was quickly filled by a new stone.
It always maintained a full basin.
Seeing this, Ding Yun immediately did something else.
She picked up the entire treasure basin and turned it upside down by the reservoir. Then, all the stones in the treasure basin fell into the reservoir. She then turned the treasure basin back over and held it in her arms. It was empty, and it no longer increased stones.
Clearly, this was likely the method to interrupt it.
Or, the way to end the replication.
Although Ding Yun didn't know if the treasure basin had other functions, this single replication function was already quite good. So Ding Yun wasn't in a hurry to try anything else.
She casually put the treasure basin into her soul space.
Then she jumped back into the reservoir.
She began to avenge the original body. Following the vague impression from the original body's memories, she searched for the black and green fish that had scared her. Although it wasn't entirely smooth, and she probably didn't find them all, she had found most of them.
Ding Yun spent less than an hour to successfully catch six green fish and four black fish. The smallest black fish weighed over four catties, and the largest green fish weighed nearly a hundred catties.
After catching all these culprits and bringing them ashore, Ding Yun clearly felt the last wisp of resentment in her body dissipate completely. There was no longer any hidden danger in this body.
It had to be said that the original body was quite vengeful.
Whoever scared her and caused her death.
She would directly confront them, without further investigation.
Later, considering that the power hadn't come back yet and it was indeed cooler in the water than on land, and she had nothing else to do, Ding Yun simply found the swimming ring that the original body had lost. Then, wearing the swimming ring, with her body in the water and her hands on the shore, she began to scale, gut, and even slice the fish.
By the time she had processed all ten fish.
The sky was already darkening slightly.
At this time, although theoretically the power lines should not have been repaired yet, she couldn't sleep in the wild. Moreover, these prepared fish, in such hot weather, would spoil quickly if not preserved or processed properly.
So, Ding Yun naturally picked up the processed fish and walked home with heavy steps.
A total of nearly two hundred catties of fish.
Even after being cleaned, with the internal organs, fish heads, and bones mostly discarded, leaving only the fish fillets and a small portion of the fish heads and bones, it still weighed over a hundred catties.
Naturally, it was a bit strenuous to carry.
As for what she used to kill and slice the fish, and to carry them, of course, it was a knife and plastic bags. The original body hadn't brought these things, but Ding Yun had them in her soul space.
The explanation was also quite simple.
Knives and plastic bags were not hard to find. There were no surveillance cameras at home. If she said she brought them from home, who could disprove it?
Because the load was too heavy and it was too hot on the way, Ding Yun specifically took out a piece of cold jade from her soul space and wore it. Only then did she feel more comfortable and less uncomfortable.
When she returned to her grandparents' house, there was still no one at home. They had probably gone somewhere to escape the heat. So Ding Yun took advantage of the fact that no one was around and, with the coolness brought by the cold jade, she quickly got to work on the fish.
Of course, she didn't prepare all of them. Some of them were pickled and stored in her soul space for cold preservation. There was no way to preserve the fish fillets in a refrigerator without power, as even the popsicles would have melted by the time the power came back.
She could only store them in her soul space for now.
Finally, Ding Yun used only five catties of fish fillets to make a dish of sauerkraut fish, a dish of bubbling fish, and a dish of sour soup fish.
She notified them in the family group chat.
Then she began to feast on dinner. After filling her stomach, she washed her bowls and chopsticks clean, took a cold shower, and quickly dried herself off and went to sleep.
With the cold jade against her skin, even without electricity and in high temperatures, she could still sleep.
After all, the cold jade was enough to keep Ding Yun's body temperature around twenty-two degrees Celsius, which was the most comfortable temperature. Therefore, she didn't have to worry about waking up from the heat.
However, the next morning, Ding Yun was woken up by pressure.
Actually, since last night, Ding Yun had a vague feeling of being sleep-paralyzed. But she was too sleepy and too lazy to open her eyes, so she ignored it. It wasn't until her consciousness cleared up a bit in the morning.
She realized it wasn't sleep paralysis, but someone was pressing on her.
As soon as she opened her eyes early in the morning, she saw her older sister tightly clutching her left arm and refusing to let go. Even more outrageous was her younger brother, who was lying directly on top of her.
He was only ten years old but already weighed over a hundred catties. A little fatty was pressing on her, so how could she not feel the weight?
In the next second, Ding Yun naturally pulled her left hand out of her sister's embrace, then picked up the little fatty and threw him to the side. As for reprimands, there was no need. Ding Yun knew very well why they were doing this.
She was wearing the cold jade, and her body temperature was low. Even being close to her made them feel a little more comfortable. On such a hot day yesterday with no electricity, it was normal for them to snuggle up to Ding Yun, who was like a human air conditioner.
As Ding Yun went to wash up and eat breakfast, etc., in less than half an hour, her sister Ding Xia and brother Ding Yang both woke up from the heat. They woke up with furrowed brows and uncomfortable bodies. Ding Xia was fine; after getting up, she went straight to wash up. Ding Yang, without fully opening his eyes, half-closed his eyes and looked around for Ding Yun.
And as soon as he saw Ding Yun drinking porridge in the living room, he rushed over with fiery enthusiasm, hugged Ding Yun's small leg tightly, and said, "Sister, I love you so much."
Then he closed his eyes and fell asleep again.
Sitting cross-legged on the floor, he hugged Ding Yun's leg and fell asleep.
