Martial arts prodigy Qiao Ling fell for a trap set by her own cousin and ended up transmigrating into the body of a sixteen-year-old girl in a parallel world. But what she didn’t expect was that ...
Chapter 9 Wandering Alone in the Ruins 8
The system said, "Ding! Congratulations to the host for signing in on the sixth day and getting a spring."
Spring? Is there such a good thing?
Qiao Ling couldn't help swallowing her saliva. What she needed most now was water. "System, I have no place to put it now. What should I do now?"
"The host can drip blood to recognize the master, and when the spring is in an activated state, he can take it out and put it anywhere. If it is in a locked state, the host can put it into the space." The system's words made Qiao Ling so excited that he almost jumped up.
Without saying anything else, Qiao Ling directly dripped blood to recognize the owner. The spring eye was now locked, and she put the spring eye into the space.
With this spring, she will never have to worry about water shortage again.
However, when Qiao Ling looked at the well in front of her, she remembered that the nearby area was full of shops selling cooked meat.
Qiao Ling looked at the map. Although the ground was in ruins, her map still showed where this place used to be.
She walked to a delicatessen shown on the map and said, "System, sign in!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 100 kilograms of cooked meat."
Qiao Ling was delighted when she heard this. Not bad, not bad. This harvest was really great. She continued to browse the map, and soon she saw a four-story building marked on the map, "Takeout Meals".
Qiao Ling doesn't care about health anymore. Since the meals here are takeout, she should be able to get a lot of takeout if she signs in here, right?
Qiao Ling ran to the ruins of the small building, "System sign-in!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for winning fifty takeouts!"
Although she got fifty takeouts, Qiao Ling thought about the simple things she had signed in for before. Would she have to find a place like this to sign in and get good things in the future? At this moment, she felt that she had missed out on three million, and she was really upset.
Even though the three buns she signed in for on the first day saved her life, she is regretting it now. If she had been more patient and signed in at the bun shop, wouldn't she have been able to get more than fifty buns?
It’s really a big loss!
Qiao Ling wiped her face and thought, forget it, just keep working hard. If she gets more sign-in points, she will be able to sign in more things.
Qiao Ling's speed is now even faster, and most importantly, her Qingyan is more powerful now. With one slash of her sword, the sword energy can kill the little spider. However, in order to avoid waste, she still uses Qingyan to absorb the energy in the little spider's body.
She didn't have much time now. She had to go back by 4:30 at the latest. After all, there would definitely be a lot of people getting up and moving around at 5 o'clock, and she didn't want to be noticed.
Qiao Ling didn’t feel tired at all now, and moved quickly towards the yellow light and the small red dot within his visible range.
In an hour and a half, Qiao Ling killed another 25 spiders, the map expanded another 250 meters, and she collected another 6,000 points and got another check-in point. She quickly stopped and prepared to retreat.
But before going back, she found a large clothing store and said directly, "System, sign in!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining thirty sets of clothes!"
"Haha, a perfect job!" On the way back, Qiao Ling collected Qing Yan and ran very fast, not even touching some small spiders he encountered.
It took her four and a half hours to run out, but only ten minutes to run back.
After successfully entering her basement, Qiao Ling blocked the entrance, then took off her clothes and collapsed on the bed. As soon as she lay on the bed, she felt how tired she was. She fell asleep almost instantly.
At five o'clock, the central city seemed to be officially launched. Someone posted a short video on the forum. It showed flashing green rays. Unfortunately, the distance was too far. Although the green rays could be seen, no one noticed what they were.
This short video has attracted more people's attention to Qingmang.
Qiao Ling slept until noon and woke up. She was awakened by the heat. It was too hot underground.
After Qiao Ling got up, she directly took out a takeaway, which was a barbecue rice. The fifty takeaways she got when she signed in were almost all different. This made Qiao Ling wonder if there were fifty takeaways where she signed in, and she was given one from each one?
After lunch, Qiao Ling carried her hoe and went underground. When she entered the underground passage, she felt a burst of coolness. It seemed that she needed to survive underground because the basement was really too hot.
Qiao Ling reached the deep end of the tunnel she had dug. This time she didn't need to focus on the pond. After all, she now had a spring.
However, she thought for a while and realized that if the ground continued to heat up, then the bottom of the pond should be relatively cool. So she began to dig in the direction of the school pond according to the instructions on the map, mainly to make it cooler in the future, after all, it was unknown when this damn weather would get hotter.
At first, she started digging the downward sloping steps. She was digging a passage that only one person could pass through. There were more than thirty steps going down and the depth was about five or six meters. She felt that this depth was enough. After all, if it was any lower, she was afraid of lack of oxygen.
When she was not digging the flat tunnel towards the pond, she was digging a passage that could accommodate two and a half rows of people. It was much farther from the ground, so no sound could be heard.
While digging, Qiao Ling turned on the Doudou account. She now dared to listen to the sound.
In the live broadcast room, the anchors were still hiding in the house, but people living in the high-rise buildings said that this was the second day of scorching sun, and some high-rise roofs had begun to melt under the sun. It is possible that the upper floors of the high-rise buildings will no longer be habitable in the future.
After hearing what the host said, Qiao Ling dug a small hole of about ten square meters next to the passage. After all, it was too hot, and she planned to rest down there.
She threw all the soil into the black hole trash can of the universe. As for where the waste soil and garbage went, she didn't know.
Anyway, it is really easy for her to dig tunnels now. With the system helping her, the garbage will automatically go into the trash can, and the stones will still be thrown into her space.
Now that the space is larger, the stone cannot fill her space in a short time.
After digging for more than two hours, Qiao Ling dug another small hole of ten square meters. She then left a certain height of the soil to use as a kang. Just like that, she spread some old-looking clothes on it and lay down to rest.
It was really cool underground, and in the live broadcast room at that moment, she really couldn't feel the heat that the anchors talked about. Although she was a little tired now, she felt really cool.
It seems that being outside is not without its benefits. At least she does not have to endure the high temperature like everyone else. From the performance of these anchors, it can be seen that they have no chance to turn on the air conditioner at all. After all, the amount of electricity that the entire central city can generate now is estimated to be able to maintain the power of the high-voltage power grid at most. The rest can only be charged, and no more is possible.
It's really cool underground. When it's hot during the day, she will go straight here to sleep. It's really comfortable.
