As a laid-off reemployed worker, Yun Jian was accidentally swept into a real-life survival game when she had nowhere else to turn. She was also 'lucky' enough to acquire a special attribute...
Bai Yu: "..."
Seeing Yun Jian's expectant expression, he simply took out all the props he had on him. "Can I keep accounts?"
Anyway, I still owe a huge sum of money for buying a house, so let me keep owing it, I'm not worried about having too much debt.
Yun Jian's service was quite thoughtful; at least before the tempering process began, she borrowed some good luck from Liang Song.
Liang Song felt like he was a lucky charm generator, although he didn't know if he actually had any luck.
Two props: an umbrella and... a whirlwind.
Yun Jian, holding the two wheels, looked at Bai Yu with surprise, "I don't quite understand this prop."
Bai Yu's eyes darted away, and he stammered as he spoke: "Haven't you seen The Legend of Nezha? My childhood dream was to have those Wind Fire Wheels! Besides, don't you think they're really cool?"
Yun shook his head.
Liang Song tried to suppress his laughter but couldn't.
[Pfft~ What a silly gem! Those two big wheels look so ugly, hahaha!]
To be honest, when I was a kid, I dreamed of having a pair of wheels to carry me through the sky, but I never imagined they would be so...so hilarious!
[I'm new here. Should I just smile, or do I need to follow the proper procedure?]
[I'm from Bai Yu's live stream. I know you're all curious, so I came here to introduce it to you. It's the Invincible Wind and Fire Wheels. That silly Bai Yu bought a mid-level item for 50 points. It doesn't have any other functions, it just allows you to carry people in the air, but only two meters off the ground! And it breathes fire when it flies, you can imagine the scene! Hahaha...]
Bai Yu blushed with embarrassment as he looked at everyone in the room laughing at his props. "I'm just saying, are you guys even capable of doing this?"
"Let me tell you, my Wind and Fire Wheels will definitely not look as clumsy as you see them now after they've been tempered. Only after tempering will their true power be revealed!"
Yun Jian smiled as she placed the Wind and Fire Wheels into the tempering pool, but her smile froze the next second.
"Holy crap, Bai Yu, this isn't a beginner-level item, is it?"
"No, it's a mid-level item. I bought it because of its high level."
Yun Jian clicked to share the tempering option. "Tempering an intermediate-level item costs 500 points. Are you sure you still want to temper it?"
"five hundred?!"
Bai Yu was also stunned. Even though he was used to spending his points lavishly, five hundred points was still a very expensive number for him.
After hesitating for a moment, he waved his hand and said, "Quench it, quench it."
His family will probably tip him as soon as they see how much he spent, right?
Anyway, these points are nothing to them when converted into RMB.
Hearing this, Liang Song silently gave Bai Yu a thumbs up, "What a tycoon!"
Bai Yu turned his head irritably, glanced at the sky outside, and urged, "Hurry up and temper it. It's getting dark, so we should prepare for what to do as soon as possible."
Yun Jian nodded and clicked "Refine".
[Please wait... Equipment is being tempered...]
It is expected to take ten minutes...
Tempering complete, new item obtained... Super Invincible Wind and Fire Wheel
Equipment Description: This item is a burst-type item that can boost speed to the speed of sound for three seconds. Cooldown time is ten days.
Bai Yu was a little disappointed to see that the appearance of the two large wheels had not changed.
"I spent 500 points to refine it, and this is the result? At least make it look a little cooler!"
Liang Song said enviously, "This thing is perfect for escaping; it's also a life-saving tool. Its appearance is actually no longer important."
Bai Yu managed to tuck the wheels into his backpack.
Yun Jian then refined another umbrella, and the refining process of the umbrella was also very strange.
The umbrella handle was mutated, becoming a hook that could catch fish 100% of the time.
Bai Yu wanted to curse. "I suspect the system is cheating me out of points. None of the special attributes of these two items are what I want."
Liang Song could only pat Bai Yu on the shoulder sympathetically, "It's okay, take it easy. Although the item refinement didn't meet your expectations, you've gained over six hundred points of debt!"
Bai Yu slowly turned his head: "Brother, are you deliberately rubbing salt into my wound?"
Liang Song retreated to the side, looking rather annoyed.
After Yun Jian asked the others to help him pack everything into the house, there was still a lot of time left.
As the countdown was about to end, everyone's system panel automatically popped up, hiding all the data and leaving only a large spinning wheel.
The spinning wheel is inscribed with words such as rain, stone, wind, drought, thunder, and knife.
The turntable started moving on its own, and finally came to a slow stop on the wind.
Immediately afterwards, a large red exclamation mark appeared on the system panel.
[WARNING! The first major natural disaster, a strong wind, is approaching. Players are advised to prepare for disaster and seize the opportunity!]
The moment the system warning disappeared, a strong wind immediately arose around them.
Yun saw that the group of people standing inside the house felt like they were about to be overturned.
Liang Song was a little worried, "The wind is so strong, are you equipped enough? Isn't it too dangerous?"
Liang Shan glanced at Liang Song and advised, "If you go out, you'll probably be blown away by the wind after only a few steps. You'd better not go out. You can survive without those seeds. Besides, other players will definitely go and get the seeds. We can just buy them from them, right?"
Bai Yu shook his head, "No, a long-term lack of vitamins will slowly ruin your body, and other players went through a lot of trouble to get the seeds, they simply won't sell them."
Liang Song added, "Vegetables have become a scarce resource in this game. Whoever has the seeds has the initiative in this game. So you can imagine that if it is too difficult to get the seeds, vegetables may become a monopolized resource. If we don't have them, it's like we've given other players a handle to use against us."
Liang Shan glared at Liang Song, "Xiao Song, why did you switch sides at the last minute? Do you know how dangerous it is to go out now? You could lose your life in no time!"
Liang Song sighed, "There's nothing we can do about it. Brother, if you want peace and quiet, it's simply impossible in this game."
Yun Jian ignored their argument, pushed open the door, and walked out into the strong wind.
Once she came out, she realized that the most dangerous thing was not the strong wind, but the things that were blown by the wind, such as pebbles and branches, which, once caught by the wind, turned into knives that could kill at any moment.
She thought about it and resisted the urge to take out the raincoat.
Now, with the added speed of the wind, the pebbles are no different from sharp weapons. When they land on the raincoat, she has wasted a prop.
Bai Yu walked up to her and asked in a loud voice, "Where are we going now?"
"Let's go straight ahead and try our luck!" There was too much dust, and their visibility was too low to determine which direction the seed resources might be in.
