After a little adjustment, Xia Ning put her little floral sun hat back on.

Actually, the trees on both sides blocked the sun, so it wasn't very sunny. She had just seen a short video before saying that you need to protect yourself from not only sunlight but also UV rays. Since she had the gear, she decided to wear it for now, at least it would give her peace of mind.

She wasn't planning on applying sunscreen; she was sweating like a waterfall, and any amount of chemicals would just wash off.

While cycling, she recalled the wilderness survival shows she had watched, where the real tough guys were hiking through the jungle.

Xia Ning at least had a wide asphalt road for riding, and her tricycle was her refuge.

Everything needed in the wild—food, water, fire, survival tools—is readily available. Most importantly, you must ensure you don't get sick.

Besides, there's only one road, so she doesn't need to worry about losing her way.

Xia Ning tied a small handheld electric fan to the handlebars of her bicycle, and also attached an ice pack to the front of the fan, not only to cool it down, but also to accelerate airflow.

She didn't know if this method would work, but at least it was psychologically helpful.

Despite being surrounded by greenery, Xia Ning felt no sense of freshness or nature; instead, she felt humid and hot, and her chest felt tight. She had to stop and catch her breath after riding for a while.

She suddenly realized that at her own pace, opening three boxes yesterday was truly remarkable.

She didn't know how many kilometers she had ridden, but it was definitely more than many people who drove, even though they deliberately slowed down to avoid missing the box.

Perhaps the distance between treasure chests in the game will be adjusted based on the vehicle?

Xia Ning felt she couldn't quite grasp the game's purpose. It encouraged people to survive and set up numerous challenges, yet it seemed to want to prevent players from being eliminated too quickly, always offering glimmers of hope in the smallest details.

What is the twisted psychology of higher-dimensional beings who play with pets?

Xia Ning shook her head, deciding not to think about it too much. Soon, she didn't have time to overthink it anymore.

Because the third treasure chest of the day appeared in front of her!

What's special about this treasure chest is that her clothesline can't be lifted anymore!

Xia Ning's breathing quickened, and her right hand subconsciously reached for the small knife at her waist. Was she finally about to escape her bad luck and enter a good one?

Xia Ning cautiously rode the tricycle forward a couple of steps, put her feet on the pedals, held the handlebars, and straightened her legs... Because her legs were weak and she was too excited, she accidentally sat back down.

Since there was no one else on the road, Xia Ning stood up a second time without feeling embarrassed, and used the height difference to stretch her neck and observe the treasure chest from all angles.

It was still a wooden treasure chest, without a lock, but a large lizard was hidden on the back of the chest.

Xia Ning gasped and leaned back strategically: As expected of your dog, the planner.

Getting out of the car to open the treasure chest without proper planning will result in being caught off guard by blind spots.

Xia Ning shifted her weight back onto the triangular seat and began to turn the tricycle around, parking it horizontally behind the treasure chest. This way, she could easily lean to the right from the front seat and attack the lizard with her dagger.

Actually, Xia Ning could also choose to throw weapons from a distance. With so many knives, even the most skilled human outliner could hit her.

However, Xia Ning still wanted to test the attribute values ​​during the newbie protection period, and now was a good opportunity.

She put on white cotton work gloves, then put on a plastic glove over them, wrapped the unbuttoned floral shirt around her right arm, and then pulled out the folding knife that was only good for attack and not for self-defense.

Xia Ning swallowed hard, not giving herself a chance to back out. She gripped the handlebars tightly with her left hand and thrust her right hand forward.

Once, twice, then it weakens; a third time, it is exhausted.

Xia Ning knew that she was a lazy urbanite who only had a short attention span and a serious procrastination problem. Once she hesitated, she would easily find excuses to give up.

Therefore, she had to press on with her momentum.

In the blink of an eye, a flash of white light appeared, and the bloody scene Xia Ning had anticipated did not occur.

—Congratulations, player Phantom Princess has killed 1 common lizard.

—Princess Phantom has obtained [Inferior Lizard Skin x1]

—Princess Phantom has obtained [Inferior Lizard Meat x1]

—Phantom Princess gains 1 survival point

Xia Ning: !!!

Xia Ning killed the lizard without getting hurt, but in her high state of tension, she was nearly overturned by the small loudspeaker.

She quickly opened the [Backpack] interface, and sure enough, there were two new small icons, one of which looked like a flattened lizard, and the other had to be blurred out.

Xia Ning tried to open the treasure chest again, and this time it went smoothly.

[A plain blue treasure chest? Don't dream about it. You're not that lucky.]

[Level 1 Baffle Construction Blueprint]

[Standard glass x1]

[Near-expiry milk x1]

Xia Ning immediately showed off the milk to calm herself down.

In just two days, she felt she was almost desensitized to the system's sarcastic remarks.

Xia Ning was not disappointed at all when she received the blue resource box, and she also completed the initial attribute test.

At least I know that having 1 point of attack attribute isn't as useless as I thought; it's still enough to kill low-level monsters.

Xia Ning's gaze shifted to the survival point. The settings after a kill were like playing a holographic simulation game, with complete data processing to avoid bloody and pixelated scenes.

For someone like Xia Ning who needs a napkin between her fingers when swatting mosquitoes, this is certainly very convenient.

However, without a sense of realism, people's awe of death will also decrease.

Will anyone take this as a good opportunity to farm survival points?

Xia Ning had no doubt that it would happen.

However, the dangers in the dense forest are far more than one. What is truly difficult to endure are the various thorny plants, tiny insects, slippery mud, swarming mosquitoes, and swamps that are nowhere to be found... Even a slight slip could be life-threatening.

Survival games are full of opportunities, but also full of traps.

Xia Ning disregarded everyone else and selected the [Level 1 Baffle Crafting Blueprint]. She discovered that the required materials were much less than those for the carriage, only requiring 1 piece of glass and 1 piece of sheet metal.

Very good, Xia Ning is on her way to find tinplate again.

She opened the shop directly and easily exchanged [Damp Wood x1] for [Scrap Iron Piece x1]. Incidentally, the owner of the link was Li Le again.

This guy riding a donkey is probably collecting timber to make a donkey cart.

Despite the fact that the two transactions were quite serendipitous, Xia Ning remained anonymous and showed no desire to strike up a conversation.

She gathered the materials within five minutes and immediately upgraded the baffle.

It was still a blink of an eye, without any fancy special effects; the glass was embedded in the mottled iron sheet.

Because Xia Ning's tricycle is a human-powered vehicle, the handlebars need to be turned, so the fender has several grooves.

This brings us one step closer to becoming a knock-off electric delivery vehicle, but it really looks ugly.

Xia Ning could foresee that her green, eco-friendly, retro vintage car attack power was about to increase again.
