On the seventh day, the rain was heavier than ever before.

Fortunately, Qianyue had dug a ditch in front of the door in advance, and because of the terrain, the water level outside the house has always been very safe.

To prevent raindrops from coming in, she blocked the entire entrance with extra stones, leaving only one window for air circulation.

The rain washed over the surface of the stone house. The vines that were originally draped outside had long been corroded and riddled with holes, and even the surface of the stone was left with marks.

Inside the house, Qianyue sat quietly beside the fire with her eyes closed, looking so relaxed as if she lived in two completely different worlds.

She was waiting for her prey to take the bait.

After testing, Qianyue discovered that when a character's spirit value drops to the range of 40 to 50, the character's generated [Mental Dejection] buff can increase the chance of triggering a red-named monster by 5%.

The stage between 30 and 40 is called [mental weakness], and the triggering probability is increased to 10% - this is also the maximum value that can be achieved in a conscious state.

If you continue to descend, you will start to hallucinate.

After trying this several times, Qianyue consciously controlled her spirit value in the range of 30-40, and finally encountered two or three red-named monsters.

Finally she got another craft material from an unknown species.

Qianyue had already found one before, and later one of the handicraft fragments was included in the three props that Du Yuanlang used to apologize.

Three fragments put together, plus a synthetic stone...

"Fuck."

Qianyue felt that she just put things together and touched them, and a white light suddenly lit up in front of her eyes. In an instant, a complete gas mask appeared in her hand.

The dark green hood has two round pieces of glass acting as eye masks and an external cylindrical filter, which looks like the mouthparts in zombie movies.

Overall, this design, devoid of any sense of design, lives up to the word "ordinary" in its name.

"...This is too ugly. Did the artist draw it with his feet?"

Wouldn’t the Duobao merchant also wear this?

Qianyue was complaining in her heart, and at this moment, the voice of the system rang in her ears again.

【Emergency Broadcast】

[Due to inclement weather and unsuitable travel conditions, the plane connection has been interrupted. The Duobao Merchant will no longer appear in this instance.]

[Re-broadcast]

Due to bad weather...

…

Well, it seems that she doesn't have to worry about what the Duobao merchant will look like wearing this mask - the other party simply won't come.

After holding it in his hand and looking at it for half a minute, Qianyue finally took off the mask with a numb look on her face, picked up the face shield silently and put it on.

In the end, it was proved that no matter how good-looking a face is, it cannot withstand the impact of a gas mask.

…

This acid rain lasted for two days.

From land to ocean, ecosystems are collapsing step by step.

At the same time, the climate not only did not become cooler with the rain, but the temperature even continued to rise, and the physical strength of the players in the hot land dropped rapidly.

The gas mask can purify the gas but cannot change the weather, so Qianyue felt at ease and stayed paralyzed in the house for two days.

Because the house was built very solidly, her life could be said to be quite comfortable compared to most players.

On the eighth day of the game, the volcanic eruption gradually weakened and the rain stopped.

At the same time, it is also obvious that the sky is no longer as dark as before.

The surviving players everywhere showed joy on their faces, thinking that the hard times were finally over, but they ignored the fact that this was a survival game.

There are ten days in total. It would be great if we can relax a little on the first day. The days will only become more and more difficult as time goes by.

Qianyue squinted her eyes at the sky and muttered, "This is not a good sign."

If the volcano stops erupting, it means the ice age is coming.

By then, the entire world will be frozen over, leaving almost nothing. Coupled with the disappearance of the Duobao merchant during this round of dungeons, the players' situation will only become more difficult.

Even Qianyue's own supplies were not that abundant - after all, the rate at which supplies were consumed in the past few days had exceeded her expectations.

Fortunately, Qianyue didn't have much pursuit for the quality of life, so it was enough for her to lie down and spend the remaining few days.

On the ninth day, the eternal night continued.

A little sunlight shone through the clouds, greatly improving visibility.

But what followed was a sudden drop in temperature.

Because the game was accelerating, there was a huge temperature difference in a short period of time. The moment Qianyue walked out of the stone house, she almost sneezed reflexively.

It's too cold.

It's even comparable to the previous copy, Lengdi.

But there was not a single snowflake to be seen.

It was as if someone had pressed the freeze mode, and the whole world was covered with frost overnight.

The trees were dead, the mountains and rivers were frozen, and there was almost no living thing to be seen.

Some places further away should have been the ocean. Although it was difficult to see clearly in the dark, Qianyue knew that it should have become a glacier.

She murmured, "I heard that at times like this, the sea is completely frozen, and you can even walk very far across the sea. I didn't expect it to be true."

...My heart is itching.

She had waited for so many days just to see the full picture of the disaster with her own eyes, but unfortunately there was only one last night left and she couldn't take the risk now.

After just standing outside for a short while, the three values ​​dropped rapidly.

She hurried back into the house and started to light a fire.

Due to the collapse of the ecological environment, the oxygen content in the air is terribly low. The firewood that usually burns in one try took several attempts to start a fire today.

Even after it was lit, the fire looked malnourished and would go out in the next second.

In this environment, even though Qianyue was wearing a gas mask, she still found breathing a little difficult.

She secretly guessed, "I'm afraid many people will die from altitude sickness today."

…

On the tenth day of the game, the sun rose as usual, and the first ray of light penetrated the clouds. The sky turned from dark to overcast, indicating that the eternal night was about to end.

Qianyue packed up the props to take to the next copy, and then couldn't wait to start her "outing trip".

I have been busy surviving in the past few days, but I haven't had time to stop and take a good look at the scenery of this copy.

Prehistoric monsters trapped in the ice, valleys and straits formed by the splitting and reshaping of the continent...

as well as--

At the end of the sky, there is a dark rock mountain range left after the volcano has completely erupted.

Qianyue stood on the glacier, her black cloak fluttering in the fierce wind, as if she was the only one left in the world.

If you click on her character attributes at this time, you will find a long list of negative buffs such as [Frostbite], [Lack of Oxygen], [Hunger], [Mental Depression], etc.

If you show this to any other player, they will probably be devastated.

But Qianyue didn't care. She put all her supplies at stake for this "outing".

Anyway, after the copy is over, the character's status will automatically return to full, so she just needs to make sure she doesn't die.

"Half an hour left."

She let out a sigh, as if the foul air stuck in her chest was finally released, and her whole mood became calm.

Half an hour later, Qianyue finished eating the last piece of black bread on her body, and the copy was declared over.

She returned to the pure white space again, and this time Qianyue listened to everything patiently.

"Congratulations to player Qianyue for completing the second round of dungeon challenges."

"Your rank has been upgraded."

"Your innate skill has undergone a subtle change, and the success rate has increased slightly."

Qianyue was stunned for a moment before realizing that this talent skill referred to stealing.

—Wait, this thing had a success rate before? But she never failed.

Qianyue was confused and planned to check the game forum after it was over.

"You have obtained 30 attribute points. You can choose to allocate them now or temporarily store them."

Qianyue: "Evenly distribute health and stamina, add 15 points each."

In future dungeons, you might need to use the buff of low spirit value to fish, so Qianyue doesn't plan to adjust the spirit value too high.

"Allocation completed."

"The following is a list of characters."

Name: Qianyue

Occupation: Beggar

Level: 3

Health: 130/130

Stamina: 125/125

Spirit value: 95/95

"Remaining items in backpack: Ice pick x1, snow shovel x1..."

The last outing had used up all of Qianyue's consumable items, so now only those tools were left in her bag.

"You have successfully advanced."

"After this instance is over, we will randomly solicit feedback from beta testers and continue to improve it in subsequent instances. We ask for your active cooperation."

"The next round of dungeons will open in five days. Please pay attention to the email notification and participate on time."

Qianyue exited the nutrition cabin, and it took her a while to recover from the last emotion.

She poured herself a glass of water to calm herself down, and was about to call Qian Chi to ask about the forum when the other party called her directly.

Qian Chi was excited: "Sister! You finally answered the phone!"

Qianyue drank the water calmly: "Speak."

Qian Chi: "One good news and one bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"

Qianyue thought without hesitation: "Good news."

Qian Chi: "The good news is: I passed the second level!"

Qianyue: "...Are you proud? I passed it too."

Qian Chi: “…”

He was originally quite proud, but for some reason, when these words came out of his sister's mouth, Qian Chi suddenly became depressed.

After being depressed for a moment, Qian Chi suddenly realized that what Qian Yue just said was "it's over".

He suddenly became excited: "Are you not going to quit the game?"

Qianyue hummed.

Although the emotions at the end were a little depressing, overall, she was very satisfied with the Dark Rock incident.

She had even begun to look forward to the contents of the next copy.

Qian Chi was suddenly ecstatic: "Great! I told you a long time ago, this game is very popular, many people want to make an appointment but can't..."

Seeing that the other party was about to launch into a long speech, Qianyue quickly interrupted him: "Let's talk about the game later. What's the bad news?"

Qian Chi’s excited promotion came to an abrupt end.

He stammered, "...About this matter...you better be mentally prepared and don't lose your temper with me."

Qianyue paused, "What bad things have you done again?"

Qian Chi was furious: "What do you mean by again - No, this has nothing to do with me! I overheard it and came to tell you right away!"

“…”

Qianyue suddenly had a bad premonition.

Qian Chi lowered his voice and said, "I overheard it. It seems that Mom has arranged another blind date for you while you're on vacation. Be prepared, it will probably be in the next two days."

"What does the other person's name seem to be..."

Qian Chi paused and recalled carefully.

"Uh, Qi Feng?"
