The PR compound crossbow, approximately 60 centimeters in length, features a minimalist design and a maximum range of 400 meters. Its rugged, all-black appearance is very much to Xiao Jin's liking.

Its crossbow bolts are made of a very special material, which the system calls Black Crystal Stone. It is a specialty of a certain world and is known for its hardness. Moreover, Black Crystal Stone has the effect of absorbing light, so it is not very conspicuous when shot in the daytime, let alone at night.

When Xiao Jin received it, he examined it. The black crossbow body had a restrained luster, and its weight and accuracy were quite good. It was indeed a fine weapon.

The products are good, but they're not cheap.

This purple-grade item costs 1300 points. The compound crossbow also comes with a dimensional quiver containing 30 bolts. After firing one bolt, the next one will automatically appear on the crossbow, but Xiao Jin needs to manually reload it a little.

Every 10 minutes, the quiver will automatically replenish with one crossbow bolt, and will stop generating bolts once it reaches thirty bolts.

Of course, if you want to buy crossbows yourself, they are also available in the store for 10 points each, it's up to you to choose.

[Beep! Signal implantation complete, star anchor point confirmation in progress]

[Anchor point confirmed, preparing to teleport...]

Xiao Jin had everything prepared and was about to enter the game, but this time the system's teleportation method seemed slightly different. After feeling a sudden dizziness, which was unprecedented for him, Xiao Jin found himself in a huge square.

Looking up, a magnificent starry sky slowly unfolds, with twinkling stars all around, like pearls lost in ancient legends, scattered randomly on the deep night sky. They are bright or dim, intertwining to form a series of flowing light and shadow pictures.

This is no plaza; it's clearly a gigantic platform built in the Milky Way.

The stone bricks on the ground were carved with intricate patterns, which seemed to be some kind of design, but Xiao Jin couldn't observe them from a high vantage point and couldn't discern the overall shape.

What caught Xiao Jin's attention next was the hundred-meter-tall red maple tree in the very center of the square. Its thick trunk was so large that even ten or so people couldn't encircle it. Its branches and leaves were so lush that they blocked out the sky. Upon closer inspection, the leaves on the branches were not maple leaves at all, but rather the red maple fruits that Xiao Jin had eaten before.

Besides the normal ones, Xiao Jin also saw golden red maple fruits inside. Could this be the mental power enhancement item worth 8,000 points? Could the red maple fruits she ate have come from this tree?

Xiao Jin was somewhat surprised; clearly, this start was beyond her expectations!

Immediately afterwards, several beams of white light appeared around her. After the white light disappeared, figures appeared inside. Their expressions were all similar: some were completely bewildered, while others stared wide-eyed at their surroundings. Some even walked to the edge of the square and craned their necks to look down, only to have their heads blocked by an invisible wall of air.

The bewildered group started talking, only to discover that they were all players.

That's really interesting.

"Hey, what's going on here? Is there some kind of event happening in the survival game?"

One person scoffed, "You think this is team building? An activity?!"

"They can't possibly be trying to trick us into coming here to kill us!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, as far as I know, the game doesn't need to go to such lengths to kill us; it can just take action directly!" The man's words were laced with sarcasm.

Hearing this, the surrounding players became somewhat dejected.

Normally, they are all thrown into the game world at once, with random locations and all sorts of identities. This time, the system actually put them together. I wonder what kind of weird thing it is doing!

Soon, more and more players gathered around, but the square was large enough to accommodate even more players.

Xiao Jin frowned in thought, looking at the people around him, feeling that the system was about to unleash a powerful move this time.

"Huh? What's that?" A player suddenly shouted, pointing to the sky. The others looked up and saw that a set of numbers had appeared in the sky, and the numbers were still rising.

Once the number stopped rolling, no new players appeared around it.

Xiao Jin knew that the ten thousand players standing here were all going to play the next round of the game together.

[Ding—Players have assembled; deployment now...]

The island battle royale game world has officially begun...

As the mechanical voice sounded, Xiao Jin's vision blurred, and then everyone in the square disappeared, leaving only the huge red maple tree standing there alone.

When Xiao Jin reappeared, she found herself standing on a beach with fine white sand under her feet, the sound of waves crashing in her ears, and the salty smell of the sea filling her nostrils.

Xiao Jin looked around and saw no one else besides her. However, just before the teleportation, although it was only a fleeting moment, Xiao Jin seemed to have seen Sui Feng's figure in the crowd.

This robust and forthright man from Northeast China had a very noticeable physique, and Xiao Jin felt that she was probably not mistaken.

【bite--】

The next second, a transparent panel appeared in front of Xiao Jin.

[This round's game: Island Survival]

Main Quest: Survive for Seven Days

Game Description: This map is an isolated island at sea, divided into five areas. Ten thousand players will be randomly spawned on the island.

Game Rules:

1. There are many resource boxes scattered on the island. Players can open the resource boxes to obtain survival supplies.

2. Every 6 hours, the system will randomly drop disasters in two areas of the map. Players in the disaster area should evacuate as soon as possible. (Note: The system will announce the location 10 minutes in advance each time.)

3. Safe houses will spawn on the island at 7 PM. After 10 PM, a beast tide will break out across the island. Players are advised to find a safe house and take shelter nearby. (Note: Safe houses vary in size, but each always contains a large resource chest.)

4. Add a combat reward system: Allow players to fight each other. Each player killed will be rewarded with 100 points. At the same time, when a player dies, he/she will randomly drop one non-bound item.

Note: This round of the game is a semi-competitive instance; the drop rate of items on the island is increased by 50%.

This game is indeed different from the previous ones; the system's words and actions are all encouraging players to fight each other.

Killing a player earns you 100 points and an item. Regardless of what the item is, as long as you kill ten people, you're guaranteed at least one purple item.

To be honest, with so many dungeons already, players these days aren't afraid of bloodshed at all.

Xiao Jin wouldn't kill people on her own initiative, but if anyone foolishly tried to take advantage of her, she wouldn't hold back.

Looking at the panel, besides the number of players, there were two countdowns: one for the main quest and the other for the disaster map. It was 6:00 AM, which meant that at 11:50 AM, the system would announce the selected location on the disaster map.
