"No, my treasure chest!"

A chorus of groans, envy, jealousy, and hatred instantly focused on Xiao Jin, and gradually, the surrounding atmosphere began to stiffen. Some players secretly clutched their items.

But Xiao Jin only did one thing, and all the people at the front line fell silent.

Xiao Jin remained expressionless as he slowly drew his long sword. Dark purple arcs of electricity continuously gathered at the tip of the blade, and killing intent emanated from his body.

Anyone who was being stared at by Xiao Jin felt a chill run down their spine, as if a knife was pointed at their heart.

Many people instinctively took a few steps back.

With this retreat, he lost all will to fight.

Forget it, it's just a reward instance anyway, it's not worth risking your life for it.

Then, Xiao Jin, long sword in hand, walked out step by step. The people passing by parted the sea like Moses parting the ocean, making way for him.

Xiao Jin took the biggest reward, and to avoid angering everyone, he wisely withdrew from the treasure cave.

It wasn't that she was scared, but mainly she was worried about what would happen if she accidentally knocked someone's head out and then realized that she didn't even have enough money to repair the equipment when she was calculating the reward.

That would truly be losing both the wife and the army.

————

So Xiao Jin simply left the sea area and searched for the remaining small tasks within the hotel.

For the rest of the day, Xiao Jin worked like a highly efficient harvesting machine, easily completing three small tasks scattered throughout the hotel with her keen senses and powerful abilities.

I gained several thousand points and some miscellaneous materials.

As the sun sets, it dyes the sea a molten gold.

The outdoor barbecue buffet area at the "Seaside Dream Resort Hotel" was decorated in a particularly grand manner tonight.

A huge bonfire roared in the center, its leaping flames illuminating every excited face. The long dining table was piled high with even more top-quality ingredients than the previous two days, their aroma filling the air with an irresistible fragrance.

The whole roasted lamb slowly rotates on the rack, its fat dripping into the fire with an enticing sizzle. NPC staff in distinctive costumes move among the lambs, serving wine and laughter.

More importantly, there will be fireworks tonight!

As night fell completely, with a sharp whistle, the first dazzling firework exploded in the dark blue night sky.

Like a signal, countless dazzling lights then rose and bloomed in a rush!

Golden waterfalls, silver willow branches, red peonies, purple hydrangeas...

It adorned the entire night sky like a dreamlike fairyland!

The deafening roar mingled with the gasps and cheers of the players below, creating a festive atmosphere.

There are no more missions tonight, and the players are completely free to play.

Some people danced clumsily but joyfully around the campfire, while others held up huge skewers of grilled meat and beer mugs, talking and laughing loudly, boasting about their haul over the past few days.

Couples snuggled together, gazing up at the dazzling fireworks, enjoying a rare moment of sweetness amidst the chaos of war.

Xiao Jin sat in a relatively quiet corner, with high-energy food still piled up in front of her.

Amo sat cross-legged on a chair nearby, enjoying a whole roasted lamb by himself. Every now and then, his snake eyes would be drawn to the radiance that kept blooming in the sky.

The flickering light of the fireworks illuminated Xiao Jin's cool profile. The commotion was nearby, yet it seemed as if an invisible barrier separated her from it.

Xiao Jin gazed at the apocalyptic carnival scene, her eyes calm and unwavering. The fireworks and bonfires were enjoyable, but one person was missing…

As the fireworks faded and the noise subsided, the commotion gradually died down.

As the first rays of dawn pierced the horizon, a soft white light enveloped all the players precisely on time.

[Ding! The "Seaside Dream Resort Hotel - Three-Day Getaway" dungeon experience has ended. Players will soon return to the login point.]

[Preparing to teleport...]

The next second, Xiao Jin and the other players disappeared from the island.

The place before me was still familiar, and the system announcement came through my ear.

[Ding—Rewards for this dungeon run are being calculated...]

Xiao Jin's vision was filled with a soft light screen, and lines of data flashed by rapidly:

[Beach Treasure Hunt - Beginner: 5000 points + [Small Pearl] x1, Water Park: 2000 points + [Waterproof Charm] x1, Hot Spring Guardian: 3000 points + [Warm Jade] x1...]

[…The system estimates the total points earned: points, and a number of items and materials…]

The light screen displayed a dazzling display, but Xiao Jin remained completely unmoved.

The points are decent, and the materials are useful, especially the [Deep Sea Silver] and [Heart of the Ocean Fragment].

However, compared to the life-and-death battles he had experienced, this gain could only be considered "rich" rather than "instant wealth".

However, zero risk and zero consumption are also beneficial to Xiao Jin's physical and mental recovery!

"How can it not be considered an alternative vacation?" Xiao Jin joked, a rare occurrence for him.

Returning to the familiar train landing point instantly pulled players back from the sunny beach to the harsh reality.

Almost simultaneously, the regional chat channel was bombarded with messages as if a bomb had been dropped!

"I'm back! I'm back! Ahhh, my sunny beaches! My hot springs! My barbecue!!"

"Awesome! I've never felt this good in my life! I'm used to being a beast of burden in the real world, but I never thought I'd be enjoying this in a survival game."

"That rabbit at the petting zoo is a total rip-off! It cost me three servings of premium dried fish to appease it! What a loss!"

"Has anyone gotten a chest in the Tidal Cave? There are too many people, I can't get one at all."

"Don't even mention it! We were a step too late, we didn't get a single thing!"

"For Sale: 7-Day Experience Voucher for the Seaside Dream Resort Hotel. Highest bidder wins!"

"Holy crap! A trial voucher? And a seven-day one at that! Really? I really want one, I haven't had enough of playing yet!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, it's that water slide mission, right? You guys are really lucky. By the time I got the news, that project had already been shut down."

"It should be a random benefit."

"So other people have had it too, how lucky!"

"Trial vouchers for sale! This is a chance to catch my breath that I risked my life for, so buy now while supplies last!"

Soon, the other players who received the trial vouchers also showed off their items and listed them on the trading platform.

The channel was instantly flooded with messages offering to buy and sell trial vouchers!

Xiao Jin glanced at the seven-day travel voucher in her backpack, which was also a "special compensation" gift from the hotel manager, and her eyes flickered slightly.

Lucky?

If someone is thrown off the slide because they can't react in time, probably no one would think that way.

Xiao Jin neither cared nor was interested.

But in the precarious game of survival, this thing is undoubtedly an exorbitantly priced luxury for those whose spirits are on the verge of collapse and who desperately crave a moment of peace.

So Xiao Jin also listed the experience voucher information on the system's trading platform, setting it to auction mode with a starting price of 50,000 points.

Almost instantly!

Prices started fluctuating wildly!

...

Ultimately, the auction settled on [points], and Xiao Jin's trial voucher was won by an anonymous player!
