Live Broadcast of Wilderness Survival: The Big Shot Who Opened a Non-Chief Pass

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...

Chapter 73 Gathering Medicine

However, it's good news, but not entirely good news.

The system's unique identifier hangs above the public screen, and the announcement text still flashes with colorful light—

[Announcement: Due to the large-scale insect attack currently affecting players beyond their control, the system has specially prepared a special medicine to maintain player survival rates. However, to promote friendly communication among players, the medicine is divided into four parts, which will randomly drop anywhere in the game. Players are responsible for finding them. Note: The first player to synthesize the medicine will receive an extra reward. Good luck!]

When people saw this news, their first reaction was surprise and delight.

They're finally saved!

But then came the pressure.

"What does the system mean? If you're going to give it, just give it to me openly. Why all this fuss?"

"I really don't want to complain anymore, but it's still a collection game! Are you supposed to die if you can't collect them all?"

"Are you really doing this to promote friendly interaction among players? It feels more like you're making us fight each other."

"I'm really tired. With only one hand in my hand right now, who can I possibly compete with?"

Yun Jian was not surprised to see this announcement.

She gave a slight smile and said to Bai Yu, "Congratulations, you're saved."

Bai Yu, now free of his previous dejection, was eager to try. "Then what are we waiting for? Let's hurry up and find the medicine. I've been in so much pain these past two days. I even missed eating two bowls of rice yesterday because of the pain."

He turned and went out, only to see that Yun Jian hadn't taken any action; instead, she was taking inventory of the props.

Bai Yu paused, "Is it really necessary to be so cautious?"

Yun Jian chuckled helplessly, "You still don't understand the system enough. The fact that it has set up rewards means that medicine isn't so easy to find. We're bound to encounter difficulties, and with so many players coming out to find medicine at the same time, a fierce battle is inevitable sooner or later."

After saying that, Yun Jian looked out at the sky and frowned.

"You managed to escape from being surrounded by so many people, so a fierce battle is no big deal. If we can't beat you, I'll just use earth magic to escape with you."

"As for medicine, we can find another one."

Yun Jian shook his head. "Have you ever played the 'Collect Five Blessings' game?"

Bai Yu paused for two seconds, then shook his head. "What is that?"

"Collect five different lucky cards to exchange for a red envelope. I'm just afraid the system might be up to no good and not give out the remaining medicine, or make it too difficult to obtain."

Bai Yu hadn't played the game before and didn't know how much of a rip-off the first year's "Dedication Blessing" was, so he couldn't understand Yun Jian's worries at this moment.

He tidied himself up a bit and then went out with Yun Jian.

"The system didn't give us any hints, how are we supposed to know where the medicine is?"

Yun Jian looked ahead and said, "Let's go first. We'll find a clue to the medicine eventually."

"Miss Yun, wait a moment!"

As soon as Yun Jian stepped out of the camp, she heard someone calling her from behind. She turned around and saw that it was Sister Weaving.

Seeing her stop, the weaver quickly caught up with her daughter and pushed her in front of Yun, saying, "Miss Yun, are you going out to find medicine? Take Xiao Zhen with you; this girl has been saying she wants to go out with you for a while now."

Yun Jian looked at Xiao Zhen but didn't say anything.

The weaver quickly added, "It's alright, this girl is clever and won't hold you back. You don't need to worry about her; she has escape tools on her."

Yun Jian specifically stated, "This trip might be very dangerous."

The older sister hesitated for only a moment before indicating that she didn't mind. "Xiao Zhen can't help much at the camp. She just eats and drinks for free every day. She should do something for the camp. You should take her with you. Consider it training for her. I know that to survive in this jungle, you have to be very capable. I'm at ease with Xiao Zhen with you."

After being at the camp for several days, she has come to a clearer understanding of the situation.

Despite her seemingly cold and indifferent demeanor, Yun Jian is not cold-hearted at all, unlike those who treat human life as worthless.

Yun Jian only remained silent for a moment before agreeing.

It has special attributes, doesn't it?

With Xiao Zhen by his side, Bai Yu was eager to set off.

He turned to call Yun Jian, only to find that Yun Jian had opened the world chat. "Why aren't you leaving again?"

"Let me see if there's any useful information in the public chat."

Bai Yu quickly leaned closer, "Really? Really?"

Yun Jian pointed to a comment, "This person said that there will be a halo where the drug appears, so we just need to look for the halo."

Bai Yu nodded, then eagerly walked forward: "Then let's hurry up."

Yun Jian closed his eyes speechlessly. "Please, you know you need to find the halo, so of course you should check where the halo is before you set off. If you just walk around blindly like this, how long will it take to find it?"

Bai Yu was taken aback. "What do you think?"

Yun Jian looked towards the cliff behind the camp.

"Climb high and look far."

So the group changed direction and climbed the mountain.

Sure enough, there were several places where halos of different colors and sizes were flashing.

The purple one is the largest, followed by the yellow one, and the red one is the smallest.

Yun Jian speculated: "Different colors represent different parts of the medicine, and the size of the halo represents the rarity of the medicine."

She scanned it carefully again, and the bad feeling in her heart grew stronger.

No, there is no fourth color.

After hearing her concerns, Bai Yu comforted her, saying, "It's also possible that the fourth part is particularly rare, and the halo is so small that we can't see it?"

Yun Jian pursed her lips, "I hope so!"

While the two were talking, Xiao Zhen returned with a bag of liquid medicine that was glowing with a yellow light. She handed the medicine to Yun Jian and then quietly stepped aside.

Bai Yu curiously examined the medicine several times.

"You can't see anything, it's just a bag of clear liquid with no ingredients."

Yun Jianze looked at Xiao Zhen and asked, "Where did you find it?"

Xiao Zhen pointed to the stone wall to the side.

Yun estimated the height and realized it was quite dangerous.

"Sister Yun, it's okay. I've learned rock climbing. When I had nothing to do at the camp, I always liked to climb up behind her for fun."

Yun Jian nodded, said nothing more, and led the group toward the marked location.

After searching all the way, Yun Jian discovered that the purple ones were the easiest to obtain, as they were the kind that could be picked up casually by the roadside.

The yellow ones are the next best, and they can be found on cliffs or treetops.

The red ones are the hardest to find; they'll be in snake nests or hornet's nests.

Once they've found all the marked locations, they'll find another high spot and mark those locations again.

After searching for most of the day, some people couldn't help but complain in the public chat.

"Is the system really trying to save us? I think it's more like it wants me dead! We finally found a red halo, but guess where it is? Under the belly of a crocodile! Do you dare to go and get it?"

"He suffered a similar fate. In order to get a red medicine, he stirred up a hornet's nest and now he hides in the water and is afraid to come out."

"None of them are as badly off as me. I disturbed a snake's nest and got bitten, with two teeth marks. I've found a shady spot to lie down now, and I hope I don't start smelling bad too soon!"

"You guys are so brave! I don't even dare to go looking for red potions. I'll wait until the end and see who has extra, then I'll use my points to buy them!"

"Me too, I'm too scared to go look for it. I might lose my life before I even find the medicine. I'll just wait and see if anyone has any ideas."
