Name: Qianyue

Occupation: Beggar

Level: 1

HP: 45/100 [Frostbite]

Stamina: 62/100 [Hunger]

Spirit value: 79/80

When the status name following the first two values ​​changes, the color also changes accordingly.

"Frostbite" is displayed in red, "Hunger" is displayed in orange, and only the last item still maintains a healthy green.

[Frostbite]: Injured due to extreme cold. Movement capacity is reduced and health decreases continuously until body temperature returns to normal.

As if to respond to these words, Qianyue watched her health value drop a little more, becoming "Health value: 44/100".

[Hunger]: The speed at which physical strength decreases during exercise increases by 30%.

As for the last item, since it is still green, it has no impact - except that the word "mentally sound" is a bit subtle.

“…It’s quite complicated.”

Qianyue's head started to hurt again. It was a rare opportunity for her to have a vacation, and she was really too lazy to use her already small head.

She turned around and opened her backpack.

The current supply situation of Qianyue is as follows:

Black bread x13, isatis root x15, bandage x1, mental suppressant x10, blueprint (barbecue) x1, item fragment (meat) x2, and 600 yen.

Before I knew it, I had packed 42 items and the warehouse was almost full.

In addition to the ones drawn at the beginning, the extra three portions of black bread, five portions of isatis root, one bandage and two pieces of prop fragments were all obtained from the two people just now.

Qianyue had never seen a bandage before, so this was most likely a career selection item. However, its therapeutic effect was the same as that of Isatis root, and it could not be disassembled and used. Qianyue immediately lost interest.

What a shame, bandages have many uses besides just dressing.

"Sure enough, there is a difference between games and reality." Qianyue muttered, and used up several props.

The most basic items such as black bread and isatis root can restore 10%.

Qianyue is currently at level 1, and the upper limit of each statistic is 100. This means that these basic items can only help her recover 10 stat points.

After using up two portions of black bread, Qianyue's physical strength became 82, the orange [Hungry] status disappeared, and turned into the green [80% Full], and all negative statuses were eliminated.

Immediately after she used up four more portions of Isatis root, her health points immediately became 85.

However, even though she brought her health back to the green safety range, the word "Frostbite" did not disappear.

The blood loss buff has not been eliminated.

As for the spirit value, which was originally green, Qianyue ignored it.

Qianyue pondered: "It seems that we must solve the problem of keeping warm first."

Otherwise, if she continues to lose blood, no matter how much medicine she has, she won't be able to hold on.

After dealing with all this, Qianyue picked up a piece of mud that fell from the earth wall and began to deduce his own salted fish strategy on the ground.

She had just slept for nearly three hours. In other words, she had been in a low-energy state. Teaching someone a lesson in the middle of the night might have consumed some energy, but it was no big deal.

Affected by low temperature, health points drop the fastest. If you round off the number, it is about 20 points of blood lost in an hour, which requires two doses of Isatis Root.

The second is physical strength. About ten minutes an hour, you need one and a half loaves of black bread.

Her mental state dropped the slowest. At this rate, she could even use a tube of inhibitor every two days, which was a great deal.

But on second thought, the reason why her spirit value dropped slowly today might be because she didn't go out.

Counting from now, there are still nine and a half days until the end of the dungeon...

In the process of searching for other props, Qianyue can't stay at home all the time, and the physical energy consumption will also increase. It would be difficult to search for just these few things.

She thought about it and finally made the following plan:

【Salted Fish Strategy (Tentative)】

[Supplies needed to clear the game in low energy state:]

Common medicine: 150 copies (12/150)

Regular food: 130 servings (11/130)

Psychotropics: 30 (10/30)

*“Normal” means that only 10% of the value can be restored.

*Review and inventory the warehouse every day, make changes at any time, do not seek to be rich, but just want to lie down comfortably and be happy!

After finishing the strategy guide, Qianyue couldn't help but admire herself sincerely:

“As expected of me!”

03:48:56

There were nearly ten minutes left before nightfall. The wind and snow outside were getting louder and louder, and a group of people were moving forward in the heavy snow, one step deep and one step shallow.

It was the person who had been teleported to the same thatched hut as Qianyue.

Soon after the game started, they split into two teams to explore. Now walking together were a scholar and a doctor.

Seeing that they were about to return to the camp, the two of them finally felt relieved.

"It's finally here."

"Luckily there's a crooked tree here, otherwise it would be hard to find."

It was freezing outside, with snow piled several feet high. If there wasn't a suitable shelter nearby, they wouldn't have planned to return.

——Of course, they were also concerned about the news in the hands of the other team.

Scholar: "Do you think those two hunters have found a new base and won't come back?"

Doctor: "It's unlikely. The village is in the direction we're going. The direction they're going to is the forest."

The server has just been opened, and it is the peak season. The closer to the village, the more limited the number of shelters. When the two entered the village today, they thought about moving, but after witnessing a bloody fight, they immediately gave up.

The village is good, but you have to have a place to live in it.

On the contrary, places like forests, although there are shelters such as caves and hunter's cabins, and although no one robs them, they are also very dangerous.

So in general, in the first few days of the copy, the thatched hut they live in now is the safest.

As they were talking about this, they saw another team from a distance.

But there is only one.

"What's going on? There's another person here?"

As I got closer, I saw that the man wasn't in good shape either. He waved his hand wearily and said, "Let's talk about it later. It's getting dark soon."

After hearing this, the two of them stopped asking questions.

The three of them quickly reached the thatched hut, and the doctor suddenly remembered that there was someone who hadn't left the house.

"I don't know if that woman has woken up yet."

"It's been so long, he's probably dead."

"Wait." The hunter pulled the other two.

He pointed at the messy footprints at the door and whispered, "Be careful, it's obvious that several people have been here."

The three of them immediately held their breath, suppressed their fatigue, and gathered their spirits. They looked at each other, then slowly approached the door.

A female voice suddenly came from inside:

"If you block me from coming in, are you a thief?"

The three of them went into the house and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

When they saw Qianyue still sitting in that corner, the expressions on their faces became even more subtle.

Finally, the hunter He Junmin broke the silence: "Has anyone been here before?"

He had just finished a few packets of Isatis root, and his originally pale face had visibly recovered a little, but his voice was still very tired.

Qianyue hummed casually and said perfunctorily: "Yeah, but he ran away."

Although it sounds very perfunctory, Qianyue's words are not just casual remarks.

The word "ran away" could serve as a warning to these people, letting them know that she is not a pushover and allowing them to give up their inappropriate thoughts in advance.

He Junmin was not surprised, but scholar Jian Lecheng and doctor Akai looked at each other subtly.

——Someone has already found this thatched hut, and it is estimated that someone will come to snatch the house soon.

It seems that their previous plan has failed, and they still have to find a chance to leave tomorrow.

Just then, the sky outside suddenly darkened.

He Junmin glanced at his watch: "It's time."

04:00:00.

At the moment when time jumped, the world outside the house flickered with light and shadow, and suddenly fell into darkness.

Only a bright moon in the sky emits a faint light, illuminating this snow-white world.

The wind and snow grew louder, and the thatched roof was rustling in the wind, giving people an inexplicable sense of panic as if something big was about to happen.

"It feels weird..." Jian Lecheng couldn't help but rub his shoulders and shuddered.

"Is the temperature dropping again?"

The next second, he screamed, "My character's status has changed, and I'm losing more health and falling to the ground!"

Upon hearing this, Qianyue also looked at her own character page and found that the speed of blood loss had indeed increased.

However, his health hasn't dropped below 60 yet, so Qianyue didn't use any items - she wanted to see how much blood she could lose after freezing for a night.

"My spirits have dropped too. Sure enough, I still have to solve the heating problem first."

Akai turned around and asked He Junmin: "Did you pick up any firewood in the forest? I have flint."

He Junmin nodded and shook his head.

“Yes, there are, but it is not recommended to light a fire.”

He turned his head and looked at the outside world through the hole in the wall, causing the other two to look out as well.

In the darkness, the cedar forest in the distance looked like a witch in a cloak in a fairy tale, making people inexplicably uneasy.

He Junmin: "There are wolves in the forest. If nothing unexpected happens, this should be the red-name monster at night."

They were both stunned.

Red-name monsters, in the terms of online games, are those small monsters that run around on the map and actively provoke fights.

Before entering the game, both of them visited the forum and heard rumors that there would be red-named monsters roaming around at night, but they didn't expect it to be true.

He Junmin also explained the incident in which he and another person encountered a wild wolf in the forest during the day.

"Just like ordinary monsters, they will actively attack, and after death they will drop item fragments or materials. The rewards are quite rich."

Jian Lecheng was a little moved after hearing this.

After several hours of exploration, they have roughly mastered the game routine. Although the settings of the "monsters" are similar to those of ordinary online games, the NPCs are completely different.

Ordinary NPCs don’t even have time to protect themselves, so they won’t be given any rewarding tasks.

The special NPC who is said to issue "hidden tasks" is even harder to find. After all, this is not a traditional web game, and there is no way an NPC will have a big golden question mark above his head.

The two of them walked around the village today and watched other players digging graves to look for "treasure chests", but they themselves didn't find anything.

On the contrary, I used up a lot of props because of this, and my hands were really tight.

Jian Lecheng said worriedly, "But we are unarmed now. It won't be easy to kill the wolf, right?"

He Junmin pursed his lips: "That's not the case."

He curled his lips and said, "Although these wolves are intelligent, it's just a game after all."

Having said this, he suddenly seemed to realize that he had let the cat out of the bag, and immediately stopped talking.

But the other two were intrigued.
