Xiao Jin struggled for over a decade in the apocalypse before perishing with the Zombie King. To her surprise, she woke up, reborn into a world without zombies.
Before she could even bother w...
When the time came, Xiao Jin regained consciousness and found herself already on the train.
It was the same familiar location, and the same familiar announcement.
[Congratulations on completing the Acid Rain World game! You have met the game's completion requirements and will be awarded 50 base points.]
[No extra points were detected for this player; remaining points: 52]
【warn!】
The system has detected multiple injuries to the player's body. Would you like to spend 5 points for treatment? (The player will have one opportunity for full-body treatment each time they return to their login space.)
Yes or No
Xiao Jin: "No!" Most of her injuries were covered by the intermediate protective suit. As for the remaining minor injuries, she didn't need any points or even potions from the store; she could just use the ordinary healing potions she brought back from the game.
However, the benefits of this full-body treatment are quite good.
As long as you can return to the login space alive, even if you only have one breath left, you can return to your peak condition by consuming 5 points of your body.
Looking at it this way, 5 points isn't much at all.
[Beep beep beep!]
The system indicated that someone had contacted her from the backend. Xiao Jin looked down and saw that Shang Fan and Mao Liu had both sent messages at the same time.
[73rd District] Mao Liu: Boss, Boss, can I send you a message if I have nothing to do?
[58 District] Shang Fan: I have successfully returned to my login space. Did you see the pinned announcement in the system?
It seems that as long as you add each other as friends, you can chat freely even if you're in different regions.
Once players enter the game, a portion of the interface is frozen. Apart from the system inventory, the shop and some chat channels are closed to players. To purchase items, players can only do so within the login space.
All chat channels and national channels are blocked; only regional channels are accessible. However, even within the same region, players are not necessarily assigned to the same game world.
Fortunately, after adding each other as friends, we can communicate with each other as long as we are in the same game world.
Xiao Jin skipped Mao Liu's message and looked at the pinned announcement that Shang Fan had mentioned.
The announcement was made shortly after they all returned to their login space.
[System Announcement (New)]
The survival game will receive a comprehensive update, which will include more game worlds and ways to earn points. Other panel modules will also be gradually opened.
This update will last for ten days. Please be patient.
As Xiao Jin stared at the announcement, she gradually lost in thought.
This update will last exactly ten days, which is when players will start the game again. In other words, the next world will be much more uncertain.
Meanwhile, the system has also been rectified in terms of points acquisition.
Xiao Jin had some doubts about the points system. Considering the points that players typically earn per world, the system's in-game store seemed completely unnecessary.
Even if players accumulate enough points over a dozen worlds, they still can't even reach the minimum selling threshold for most items.
It seems that the real way to earn points will only be revealed after this update. However, Xiao Jin is certain of one thing: the system won't let players earn points easily; there's probably a significant risk involved.
She knocked on Shang Fan's door and told him her guess.
Shang Fan thought so too. He felt he should prepare for the system update as soon as possible. He contacted Xiao Jin to ask if she had any good ideas.
After thinking about it, I did have an idea. It was simply a matter of brute force. As long as I became strong, I could face any difficulty with ease.
Xiao Jin wasn't the smartest, but she was never afraid of the difficulties that came her way.
So what if it's an obstacle? Just face it head-on!
Finally, Xiao Jin recommended some survival experts on the channel to Shang Fan, telling him to pay more attention to their posts and to focus on training himself so that he could at least run faster in the event of a natural disaster.
The ten days the system keeps them on the train are not really for players to rest. If they don't work hard now, they will be left behind when they enter the game world.
Shang Fan over there watched very carefully, and after disconnecting from Xiao Jin, he sent a screenshot of their conversation to Mao Liu.
Mao Liu took it very seriously and soon sent a message saying that preparations should begin immediately, and asked Shang Fan to supervise each other and report on the training progress morning and evening.
Then Mao Liu gritted his teeth and spent 10 points to buy a crossbow in the system shop, and another 2 points to buy 20 fine steel arrowheads.
He's not very brave, so asking him to fight like a boss with a knife in close combat is asking too much of Fat Tiger. But he's a good shot; when he was a kid, he could hit birds with a slingshot every time, so he's perfect for a crossbow.
Shang Fan didn't expect Mao Liu to be even more daring than him. Back in the Acid Rain World, he wouldn't even buy a bottle of treatment spray.
Shang Fan was not to be outdone, and countered with a fine steel longsword, gaining 15 points.
Who doesn't dream of being a martial arts hero?
The sword is the king of all weapons, and it was the first thing Shang Fan thought of.
After buying the weapons, not knowing how to use them was another big problem. Fortunately, Xiao Jin recommended several cold weapon experts on the channel to the two of them. She had read what they said and found that they were indeed quite skilled. So she let the two of them learn by following the beginner tips they mentioned.
No matter how they tried to learn, they all felt that the other person was far inferior to Xiao Jin, after all, they had witnessed such an amazing scene.
Although it was dark inside the small supermarket, the blurry figures wielding knives and turning around were full of violence and aesthetics. Shang Fan and Xiao Jin felt itchy whenever they thought about it, so they privately asked Xiao Jin for advice many times.
At first, Xiao Jin ignored it. All he knew were killing techniques, such as which part of the neck could be severed the fastest and which moves could kill with one blow. Xiao Jin, who came from a self-taught background, had earned his current skills by fighting his way through hordes of zombies.
But Shangfan and the other person insisted that the situation was different now, and that the best way was to protect oneself, so why bother with whether it was authentic or not!
Thinking about it, Xiao Jin realized she couldn't persuade them otherwise, so she gave the two of them a handwritten beginner's guide to cold weapons. Only then did Shang Fan and Mao Liu happily go to practice.
Xiao Jin didn't consume many resources this time. He spent 4 points to replenish a bandage and a bottle of healing spray. After that, Xiao Jin spent another 3 points to buy a [Six-Claw Hook].
The rope used for the grappling hook is made of a super alloy, is 16 meters long, and is not only strong but can also bear a weight of up to 500 kilograms.
There wasn't much left to buy, and Xiao Jin couldn't afford the things she wanted anyway, so she simply started her daily exercise and study routine.
I train hard every day, hoping to return to my peak as soon as possible. In my spare time, I browse the channels and see what other players are sharing about survival.
Meanwhile, Xiao Jin's superpowers are recovering further. According to her calculations, by the time the next world begins, her superpowers are expected to recover to the second level.
Although the second-tier spatial ability can only store items, the space has expanded to 150 square meters, which is several times larger than the current 40 square meters.
