As for weapons, armor, potions, etc., she didn't care which ones she brought, she brought them all, since she had plenty of inventory space.

After quickly organizing the supplies she needed to bring, Gu Mian went to the trading area and spent 20 points to buy a 6-inch chocolate mousse cake.

She hadn't had cake in a long time, and she was really craving it.

While we were eating cake, Zhou Ye, Xu Kun, and Jiang Bai all sent me private messages, wanting to team up for the points competition.

Gu Mian was surprised and then declined Zhou Ye's invitation.

It's normal for Xu Kun and Jiang Bai to invite her, since they've been spending a lot of time together lately. But it's strange that Zhou Ye also invited her, since their only interaction so far is online transactions.

If I can't figure it out, I'll stop thinking about it for now. Anyway, they're not that important to me.

After finishing the cake, I browsed the live stream for a while, but switched to the chat channel after less than ten minutes.

The live stream content has become increasingly boring lately, and there are fewer and fewer viewers than in the chat channel.

"Wow, I've prepared over a dozen teleportation cards, so I don't have to be afraid anymore!"

"...Aren't you being a little too cowardly upstairs?"

"Sigh, there's no other way! I only have one life, so I definitely have to be fully prepared!"

"There's no such thing as perfect preparation. Don't you know that plans can never keep up with changes?"

"Who says you only have one life? I remember the system shop sells resurrection cards! And they only cost 100,000 points!"

"What do you mean 'only 100,000 points'? Good grief, you're making it sound like 10,000 is worthless!"

"What resurrection card? I can't find it."

"It's in the system shop, in the special items section—"

Huh?

What happened? I remember seeing it before.

"Are you sure you didn't see wrong? I've never heard of a resurrection card."

Besides, if they could really be resurrected, that would be too incredible!

"Um... I think I saw it too, but it's been so long, I'm not sure if I saw it wrong."

...

At this moment, Gu Mian's heart pounded nervously as she saw this.

She knew that the player was right; the system shop did indeed have resurrection cards before, and she had even bought them!

But she didn't expect that the item would only be listed once in the store!

And she only used 100,000 points to win it!

Although she didn't have many points at that time.

If you had to describe Gu Mian's feelings at this moment in one word, it would undoubtedly be "winning the lottery!"

And it was a huge prize!

...

Seven days later, at eight o'clock in the morning.

Gu Mian finished eating a pan-fried bun and just picked up her cup to drink some soy milk when a system notification sounded:

[The points race has begun. Players, please prepare to teleport 3, 2, 1...]

Gu Mian felt dizzy and then fell onto the sand with a "thump".

The soy milk in my hand spilled out, but luckily it didn't get on me.

A dry wind, carrying fine sand, blew in from afar, bringing heat like a wave of heat.

Gu Mian squinted, shielded her face with her hand, and waited for the sandstorm to pass before quickly surveying her surroundings.

Yellow sand swirled, and as far as the eye could see, there were only endless sand dunes and blue sky, a barren expanse devoid of any vegetation.

The chat channel was in complete chaos among the players:

"Ouch! Mom, they threw it at me on a cactus! I fell and got pricked all over! What am I going to do?!"

"Pfft... How funny! Find a place, take off your pants, and slowly pull them out yourself."

"I was just saying, 'Why am I so unlucky? I was teleported right next to a cactus and almost fell on it!' And now, something even more unlucky has happened!"

"Damn! You guys are competing to see who's more miserable? Who's more miserable than me? I fell headfirst into the sand and almost suffocated! I died at the age of 18!"

After this message, players inexplicably started a competition to see who had the worst time.

However, no one knew that the most unfortunate player was teleported directly into the mouth of a giant desert scorpion.

The poor player only had time to scream once before his avatar quickly turned gray.

Gu Mian was just about to close the chat window and explore the surrounding area when she saw the message from Xu Kun.

Xu Kun: "Mianmian, my little darling, where did you teleport to? Send me your location."

Gu Mian: "..."

She couldn't help but twitch her lips: "Stop using that disgusting nickname!"

Xu Kun: "Don't you like this nickname? My little darling Mianmian~"

Gu Mian scoffed, "If you don't like it, I'll sew your mouth shut if you call me again."

She was so greasy that she almost threw up the pan-fried buns she had just eaten.

Xu Kun: "Emmm... Okay, I'll listen to Mianmian."

Gu Mian: "..."

She couldn't help but ask Jiang Bai, "Has he gone mad?"

Jiang Bai said indifferently, "Ignore him. He goes crazy for a few days every month, he'll be fine in a while."

Gu Mian: "...Why does it sound like I'm on my period?"

Jiang Bai: "That's about it."

Xu Kun: "Old Bai, you're outrageous! How could you say such nonsense? Why don't you take it out and see who's bigger?"

Upon hearing this explicit topic, Gu Mian immediately fell silent.

She stared wide-eyed expectantly at the potentially explicit images that might appear.

As a result, they waited and waited, but there was no response from the group.

Gu Mian: "..."

She couldn't help but ask, "Why did you stop talking about what we were saying earlier?"

Don't pique her curiosity only to then fail to satisfy it!

After a long time.

Xu Kun uttered softly, "Mianmian, you seem to be expecting something..."

Gu Mian replied matter-of-factly, "Is that not allowed?"

Now it was Xu Kun's turn to be stumped. After hesitating for a long time, he finally sent a message: "What you're doing... is wrong."

Gu Mian scoffed and ignored the two guys who were only good at keeping people in suspense.

...

The sand underfoot was soft and yielding, making each step difficult, especially since sand kept getting into my shoes.

Gu Mian frowned; this feeling was truly unbearable.

After walking a few steps, another gust of sand swept by, covering Gu Mian's entire body with a layer of yellow sand.

She covered her mouth and nose, coughed a few times, and quickly took out a silk scarf from her backpack and wrapped it around her head.

After walking for another ten minutes, the wind and sand grew stronger and visibility was severely obstructed, so Gu Mian stopped, took out a tent from her backpack, and assembled it on the spot.

She had only walked for a short while, and she was already covered in sand. If she continued walking, she probably wouldn't even look like a human being anymore. She should probably avoid it for now.

After the tent was assembled, Gu Mian went inside to quickly wash herself and change into clean clothes.

Then she took out a bowl of beef noodles from her backpack and continued eating the breakfast she hadn't finished.

...

Around 10 o'clock, the sandstorm finally stopped.

Gu Mian packed up the tent and squinted, trying to figure out the direction.

However, after a sandstorm, the location of the sand dunes had changed significantly, and the scene before her eyes was completely different from what she had seen before.
