Half of the space in the RV, which was not very big to begin with, was filled with miscellaneous items, and a barrier stone with a white pattern was embedded in the wall on one side.

Ye Miao was very familiar with this thing. It could expand a relatively safe space for the player. No matter how powerful the monster's attack power was, each attack would only cause 1 point of damage. Ordinary monsters would not focus on attacking a specific area. A building like an RV with 20,000 health points would be basically safe with a barrier stone.

However, barrier stones also come in different levels. Higher-level barrier stones can protect larger areas. White barrier stones are the most basic type, and can only protect up to 15 square meters. This makes them suitable for RVs, but not for larger areas.

A few steps away, the couple sat stiffly at the side of the coffee table. Seeing Ye Da Lao Miao staring at the barrier stone, both of them felt uneasy.

Although she has a loli face and twin ponytails, and looks harmless, she is a tough character after all with her superb fighting ability.

She's not trying to rob their home, is she?!

The couple exchanged glances, and Hu Hao gritted his teeth and said, "That...that...Boss..."

Ye Miao turned around: "My name is Ye Miao."

"Oh, Mr. Ye..." Hu Hao hurriedly changed his words. His wife Miao Lin nudged him with her elbow and forced a smile: "Ms. Ye, would you like to sit down and have some tea?"

"Thank you." Ye Miao nodded and sat down opposite the two of them.

Miao Lin immediately picked up the disposable paper cup with both hands and offered the tea. "Thank you for saving my husband. Um... could you tell me, what level are you at?"

Ye Miao sank: "It's not very convenient, sorry."

"..." Miao Lin choked and said awkwardly, "It's okay, it's okay... In this world, protecting yourself is the most important thing."

Hu Hao then took over the conversation. He had seen her fighting ability and didn't dare to provoke her any further. He simply asked, "Miss Ye, what do you want to ask me?"

Ye Miao asked bluntly: "How long has the apocalypse begun?"

"?" This question made the couple look at each other in confusion.

As far as they know, the entire world was controlled by the Doomsday System at the same time. How could someone not know when it started?

"I got hurt a little while fighting monsters yesterday." Ye Miao made up a reasonable excuse. "I fell into a tree and got hit. I think my brain got hurt. My mind has been a mess for the past two days."

"Oh—" Hu Hao suddenly realized. Perhaps because the fact that the perfectly normal world was suddenly controlled by the apocalyptic system was bizarre enough, he didn't find Ye Miao's amnesia at all strange. He immediately explained, "It was the early morning of seven days ago... After midnight, it was the eighth day. Suddenly, the game panel appeared in front of everyone, and they were killed off guard."

"...So we all traveled through time?" Ye Miao asked, "Or are we the natives?"

"A native! How could someone travel through time?" Perhaps because he felt her amnesia was too complete, Hu Hao laughed, "I used to live in the building next door."

The normal world is suddenly controlled by the game system. This is the game background of "Fantasy World".

"So that's how it is." Ye Miao nodded solemnly, with a general idea in his mind.

It seems that she is the only one who has traveled through time, but that doesn’t stop everyone from being a “player” who wants to upgrade their equipment.

The game has only been going on for seven days, so it should still be in the chaotic stage.

She looked around again and asked, "Where did this RV and barrier stone come from?"

"I bought them," Miao Lin replied. "Although the previous currency system didn't recognize them, the real gold and silver system did accept them for the first three days. We happened to see these two items in the system store. The description said they could ward off monster attacks, so we exchanged all our gold and silver jewelry for them. Now that I think about it..." Miao Lin breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm glad I bought them without hesitation."

Miao Lin still feels a lingering fear when she recalls what happened seven days ago. The world suddenly collapsed, disrupting the peaceful life we ​​had once had. Everyone was like a headless chicken.

That afternoon, the system store began selling various safe houses and barrier stones. In addition to using the "gold coins" in the system, you can also use real money in reality, counted by grams.

But everyone was too panicked at that time. Many people wanted to wait and see without understanding the situation. They thought that since the real money could be used, perhaps they could buy more important supplies in the future without having to spend all the money on expensive safe houses and barrier stones.

However, three days later, all the real money and silver turned into stones, and the safe houses and barrier stones in the system store were taken off the shelves, leaving no place to buy them.

Miao Lin told Ye Miao the whole story, and Ye Miao was silent for a long time after listening.

She didn't know the background of this story. To her, "Fantasy World" was just a game. Things like safe houses could be bought with real money, and there was no such thing as it being taken off the shelves after three days.

She then asked, "So these facilities are not sold anywhere now?"

"Not really. There are traveling merchants, and you can run into them if you're lucky," Hu Hao said. "But they only accept system coins now. The cheapest one costs 1,000 gold, and barrier stones cost extra. It's only been seven days since the game started, so most players can't save up enough. If you want to buy..."

He looked at Ye Miao and said, "It should be more effective if you play with the Pixiu for a few more days."

As he spoke, he suddenly became worried that Ye Miao would take over his house, and quickly added, "Actually, it's okay not to buy it! Many people live together. If you're willing to live in my house... you can stay as long as you want!"

"I'm just asking casually." Ye Miao smiled and asked, "Can I buy a shelter construction permit?"

"A shelter construction permit..." Hu Hao was taken aback by the question, then revealed a look of surprise. "You want to build a shelter? You can get a permit from the traveling merchants! But it's expensive... 3,000 gold."

After saying that, Hu Hao leaned forward and said shamelessly, "Boss, can we reserve two spots in the shelter?"

"I wonder when I'll be able to save enough money." Ye Miao followed his words and changed the subject, raising a new question, "I vaguely remember that there were cards after the apocalypse began?"

"Yes!" Hu Hao responded immediately. "Everyone was given a card pack with five cards on the day the system launched. After that, in addition to the chance of cards dropping from monsters, an additional wave of card packs will be distributed every Sunday. However, whether the cards that drop can be used is uncertain."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but get angry: "Just like my husband and I - we used to run a restaurant. After the apocalyptic system came, our cooking skills directly reached level 20. As a result, there are no cooking-related cards in our card packs. Even with the ingredients, we can't cook anything. We've been eating steamed buns for seven days."

Ye Miao frowned, his eyes fixed on Miao Lin's pale face. "I think you're sick, aren't you? Hu Hao just changed the blood tonic at Sunset Bar."

"It was the negative effects of the injury on the first day." Miao Lin smiled bitterly. "I kept losing health every day, and if I didn't drink the health tonic, it slowly fell off. Actually, you could buy medicine in the system store to cure it directly, but we thought that if it was a game, the negative effects would disappear automatically after a while, so we didn't buy it."

I didn't expect the negative effects to continue like this.

Ye Miao asked again: "No treatment card?"

"Yes, but our healing skills are all level 0. Even if we learned it, it would only restore 20 health points. It's better than nothing, so we sold it to someone else." Hu Hao held his forehead in pain. "If we had known the negative effects wouldn't disappear so easily, we would have kept it for ourselves! It's better than nothing!"

These words choked back the question that Ye Miao had just asked.

She had originally wanted to ask if they could sell her the healing card so that if her skills were suitable, she could help remove the negative effects. But they had already sold the card, so there was nothing she could do.

"One last question." She pursed her lips, "What is a Night Demon?"

The Night Demon, a monster that lurks in the darkness, appears on the first day of the apocalypse, and then comes out at night.

It will suddenly appear in a corner of the city at some point, emitting nightmare smoke within a radius of 500 meters.

Nightmares will devour sleeping humans. If they cannot wake up in time and escape from the smoke, they will never wake up.

No matter how high the health of the building itself is, as long as there is no barrier stone to guard it, the residents may be affected.

——This is the information about the Night Demon provided by Hu Hao and Miao Lin.

As the night deepened, Miao Lin found some bedding and spread it out on the floor. She then pulled Hu Hao to sleep on the floor with her, and gave the only bed in the room to Ye Miao.

Seeing the couple's frightened appearance, Ye Miao didn't say much, but he lay in bed for a long time and couldn't fall asleep.

She carefully recalled her experience of playing the game and confirmed that she had never seen any night demon. It seemed that after the game became a living world, some changes had occurred.

However, judging from the information provided by Hu Hao, the general direction should not have changed.

For her, the most urgent task now is to save money and resources, find a traveling merchant as soon as possible to buy a "Shelter Construction Permit" and a barrier stone, and then build her own shelter.

According to previous gaming experience, it is only a matter of time before everyone enters the shelter and starts to survive together. There is a huge difference between being the master of your own house or relying on others.

In the complete silence, a huge black shadow slowly descended. A chilling wind suddenly swept through the streets, whimpering and scratching the walls.

Then, the dull sound of footsteps slowly rang out: Dong-dong-dong

A little closer, the ground shook, and the water cup on the table shook up and down, making a trembling sound.

"Night Demon—"

Soon, someone shouted.

A corner of the city suddenly fell into panic. People who had been struggling to survive all day had just relaxed and fallen asleep when they were forced to wake up again, dragging their wives and children out of their homes and fleeing frantically for their lives.

Ye Miao, who had just fallen asleep, vaguely heard a noise and suddenly woke up.

Looking from the darkness to the other end of the RV, Hu Haomiao Lin and his wife were not worried about the attack of the night demon because the RV was protected by the barrier stone. They were sleeping soundly without distraction.

Ye Miao's eyes were slightly cold, he listened again, got up from the bed, opened the car door and walked towards the street.

The fastest group of people were running past, stirring up a gust of wind. Ye Miao pulled up the hood of his windbreaker and walked against the crowd.

"The Night... The Night Demon is coming!" The woman kindly pulled her back, still trembling in fear as she told her, "It's over there, run quickly, don't go over there!"

Ye Miao raised his eyes and focused, his gaze fell on the vague black shadow in the night, and the relevant information about the Night Demon jumped before his eyes.

[Name: Night Demon]

Level: 72

[Health: 15000, Magic: 21000]

[Attack: 5000, Agility: 1500, Defense: 6000]

[Skill: Nightmare Smoke]

[Other descriptions: Afraid of light-based skills. Using light-based skills will cause critical hits, weakening, etc., with the probability depending on the level.]

Seeing that she didn't say anything, the woman blocking the road didn't dare to stay any longer and continued to try her best to escape.

The streets became increasingly crowded, a throng of people, like a marathon. Unfortunately, some fell, only to be trampled before they could even get up. Their health bars instantly emptied, declaring them dead, their equipment scattered across the ground.

Ye Miao took this opportunity to pick up a dagger and put it into the equipment bar. Passing by a window, he keenly saw that the person sleeping inside died in the nightmare attack, and the equipment also fell out.

She leaned her hands on the windowsill, climbed into the room, picked up the "rough soft armor" floating in the air, and put it into the equipment column.

When he climbed out of the window again, the huge black shadow of the Night Demon was already very close. Screams, cries for help, and crying were overwhelming. Ye Miao gritted his teeth, bent down and took a running start, then ran towards the Night Demon.

A level 100 player fighting a level 72 player shouldn't be difficult, but with junk equipment and no skills, the outcome wasn't entirely clear.

However, after some analysis, she found that the Night Demon had high defense and high attack but low agility, so maybe she could give it a try.

If you win the bet, there should be a lot of things dropped, and you can turn a bicycle into a motorcycle overnight.
