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...
Unbeknownst to Yun Jian, this move directly attracted a lot of viewers from other players' live streams, greatly increasing her popularity.
She quickly walked to a secluded spot, started a fire, and clicked to submit the task.
[System settlement in progress...]
The player provided 6.5 kg of fresh fish. Congratulations to player Yunjian for completing the task!
Rewards: 15 points, 2 attribute points (Note: Attribute points are a special reward. They have a very low probability of appearing in normal mode, a high probability of appearing in hard mode, and a stable probability of appearing in nightmare mode. Players can choose to allocate attribute points to any attribute).
Unlock feature: Shop.
Performance score settlement: A total of 2900 Whale Coins were earned in this task. 1000 Whale Coins can be exchanged for 1 point, which is 2.9 points.
Additionally: Players who achieve the "Showing promise" achievement will be rewarded with a rusty knife!
Refresh Main Mission (Nightmare Mode): Kill a crocodile, time limit 3 days!
Refresh side quest (hard mode): Eat dumplings, time limit 2 days.
Note: Side quests can be abandoned, but corresponding points will be deducted. Please choose carefully.
Warning! Warning! Player Yunjian's hunger level has dropped to 43 and his sanity level to 83. Please replenish your energy as soon as possible!
Yun Jian stared at the system for a while, then couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you say you could earn money by completing tasks? Where's the money?"
A line of text slowly appeared on the system panel: "1 point can be redeemed for 1000 RMB. Confirm redemption?"
Yun Jian calculated that she now had a total of 17.9 points, which meant that she had earned [amount] in less than two days...
Isn't this better than working?
Of course, we should keep making money!
Yun Jian chose not to redeem, swiped the panel, and opened the store.
Only three items were refreshed inside:
Flint: 10 points.
Large-lid kettle: 4 points.
Dumpling wrappers: 12 points.
Upon seeing Yunjian's system interface in the live chat, the chattering started again.
[Holy crap, hunting crocodiles? Is this system mission for real? And eating dumplings? This is the wilderness!]
[I looked at other players' quests, and they were all just about hunting a wild mouse or rabbit, with side quests just involving eating cooked food. This player's bad luck is just too much!]
[But other streamers only got four or five points after the settlement. Wow, Yunjian got over ten points in one go! She's definitely a little rich girl. Although it's high-risk, it comes with high rewards, so it's worth it.]
[I'd guess that if she's going to complete the side quests, she'll definitely buy a large kettle and dumpling wrappers; if she's not going to complete the side quests, she'll buy a flint and steel and a kettle, since having enough tools increases her chances of survival.]
[Adding to the comment above, she will likely add the extra 2 attribute points to Strength, because Yunjian's Strength is too weak; otherwise, she'll be helpless against any large animal she encounters.]
The chat was buzzing with discussion, while in the game, Yun Jian lingered on the shop page for a long time before finally uttering a painful, "So expensive, are you robbing me?"
After saying that, she closed the store page, opened her personal attribute panel, and without blinking, added the attribute points to Agility.
Then I took out two more fish from my system inventory and started grilling them.
The audience was in an uproar after seeing her series of actions.
[Can anyone tell me what she's doing? Am I out of my mind or is she? Her next main quest is to hunt a crocodile, and she's not putting any points into Strength or Agility??]
To be honest, I don't understand either. Sister, you have over ten points, not just a few points. What's wrong with buying some things? You're surviving in the wilderness; is money more important or your life?
[I've placed my bet! I don't believe she can complete the mission this time. I'm waiting to see her mental state plummet and she go crazy.]
[Announcement: Yao Yao Boleng Gai'er is in pain and has bet 500 Whale Coins, believing that player Yun Jian cannot complete the task!]
[Rumor has it that Tang Jianyuan has gathered several players and is preparing to cause trouble for Yun Jian; they have weapons!]
[Yun Jian is finished. Her strength is so low, and Tang Jianyuan likes to play dirty tricks. If the two of them clash, it will be difficult for Yun Jian to survive.]
Yun Jian was completely unaware of the messages in the comments. She happily finished enjoying the grilled fish, and after confirming that her satiety and mental energy were fully restored, she extinguished the fire and walked towards the stream.
She held the rusty knife in her hand, playing with it. The rust on it was thick and covered with a layer of rust, making it look like a rough, dull stone.
The bushes ahead rustled, but Yun Jian seemed oblivious and continued walking forward without any warning.
The atmosphere in the live chat became tense:
"Don't go, baby! There's a trap ahead!"
[Damn it, I can't take it anymore, I'm quitting!]
[The grass moved! Didn't you see it? Stop it!]
On the other side, Tang Jianyuan kept his eyes fixed on a clump of withered leaves in the middle of the road. The closer Yun Jian got, the more excited he became. Finally, he began to count down softly: "Three, two, one... Pull!"
The sound of leaves rustling suddenly arose. Yun Jian had one foot in the rope loop, but just before landing, she suddenly lifted her foot up. At the same time, she bent down sharply, and the rough, blunt knife in her hand, which looked like a stone, cut down.
With a clatter, a metal object fell to the ground.
Yun Jian didn't even look at it before picking it up and throwing it into his system inventory.
As for Tang Jianyuan's side, they only realized Yun Jian's actions at this time. They had spent 7 points to exchange for this animal trap. They originally planned to use this trap to deal with Yun Jian and then capture some other wild animals to supplement their resources. Unexpectedly, they not only failed to capture Yun Jian, but also lost their tools.
The group couldn't sit still any longer and jumped out from their hiding place.
"Brother Li, you stop them over there!"
"Old Gao, Xiao Wu, you two cut off her escape route!"
The group didn't say much, and their teamwork was excellent.
Yun Jian held the knife horizontally in front of her chest, her gaze sweeping over the men surrounding her, finally settling on Tang Jianyuan. "It's you again. Thanks for the tool..."
Before he could finish speaking, Yun Jian suddenly turned to the side and reached out to grab the chest of the man who called him "Brother Li".
She moved extremely quickly. By the time the man realized he had been ambushed and looked at Yun Jian, she had already regained her footing and created some distance between them.
Tang Jianyuan was still dazed and confused, not knowing what Yun Jian had done. He had just shouted out the word "you" when he saw a flash of cold light before his eyes.
Yun Jian had already appeared in front of him, and at the same time, he felt a dull pain in his hand.
Looking down, I saw a line of blood on my hand.
Before he could even react, he was attacked by Yun Jian.
Looking up again, Yun Jian was already behind him, cheerfully brandishing the rusty knife in her hand. "Thank you for the gifts, so I'll reluctantly wish you good luck!"
