Xu Kun: "Little sister, where are you now? Lao Bai and I are coming to find you."

Gu Mian glanced at the sun outside and was about to tell them not to rush over and to come when it wasn't so hot anymore when the system notification sounded.

[Announcement: One-tenth of the monster instances on the island have been cleared, the island's size will soon shrink, and players will be re-teleported!]

As soon as she finished speaking, a notification appeared in front of Gu Mian:

[3, 2, 1... Players are being teleported!]

Before she could even open her eyes, Gu Mian heard a sharp scraping sound.

"What kind of protective gear is this? It can actually form a protective shield around the body?"

A tall, bearded foreign man was pointing a long knife at her.

Gu Mian's eyes turned cold, and she took a step back, still feeling lingering fear.

Luckily, she remembered to put on the bracelet beforehand. Otherwise, if she had been attacked after being suddenly teleported here, she would have been crippled even if she didn't die!

Seeing that Gu Mian remained silent, the foreign man raised his long knife and brandished it a few times, threatening, "You were lucky just now that you dodged my attack. If I make another move, you definitely won't escape."

"Now, if you hand over your armor, I can let you go for now."

So arrogant?

I'll see just how capable you are!

Gu Mian sneered, ignoring his words, and directly pulled out a long whip, unleashing a series of attacks with a flick of her wrist.

"Oh! Shit! You damn stinking woman!"

That foul-mouthed foreigner!

Gu Mian pursed her lips slightly and lashed the man's mouth with a whip, leaving a bloody welt. The foreigner collapsed to the ground in pain, crying out in agony.

Seeing Gu Mian approaching with a short knife, the foreigner shrank back in fear, "Wait, I..."

Before he could finish speaking, Gu Mian pounced on him and delivered the final blow.

[Kill Pete. You can pick up his supplies. Do you want to pick them up?]

"yes."

[Received 10 bottles of mineral water, 15 hamburgers, and 15 purification potions, all already placed in my inventory!]

Gu Mian: ...

Speechless, another penniless wretch!

"Little sister, why are you suddenly so far away from us?" Xu Kun tagged Gu Mian in the group chat.

Gu Mian looked and, sure enough, after being teleported again, she was far away from the two of them.

Since the distance is too far, there's no need to waste time getting together. It's more important to hurry up and find a dungeon to grind monsters.

So she replied, "I'm too far away from you all, so let's not waste time rushing to meet up. Let's each find a dungeon and grind monsters first."

Xu Kun wailed, "Sigh, I finally got to be with my sister, and we've only been together for a short time before we have to separate again."

Gu Mian: "..."

Please don't say things that could be misunderstood.

Jiang Bai: "Everyone should be careful. I was attacked as soon as I teleported here. Luckily, that person wasn't strong enough and I killed him directly."

Xu Kun immediately shouted, "What? Now they're attacking people as soon as they see them? Have these people gone mad?"

Gu Mian thought so too, "I guess he's not far from going crazy. I just killed a foreigner myself."

To be precise, it was a one-sided crushing defeat; the foreigner couldn't withstand even a few lashes from her.

Xu Kun: "Wow! Is it that dangerous? Little sister, you must be extra careful when you're alone, and stay alert at all times!"

The system's malice is truly everywhere. When a dungeon is cleared, the island shrinks, which leads to many players meeting and fighting each other.

This situation is already clearly reflected in the chat channels.

"Hahaha, I just ran into a member of the Axe Gang. They chased me like a madman before, but now I've killed him. It feels so good!"

"Damn these foreigners, they just start hacking at anyone they see! I'm a casual player, okay? Why are they forcing me to kill people?!"

"I was trembling with fear. Outside were either mutated beasts or murderers. I hid in the stone cave, too scared to go out..."

"I'm shivering. It's getting more and more terrifying outside. I'm thinking of digging a hole and hiding myself. I hope no one will find me."

“Go back upstairs. You might not be discovered by the killer, but your bottom score will directly turn you into a new pollutant.”

"Damn it! This game is a piece of shit!"

...

Gu Mian closed the chat window. It was still early before nightfall, so she should hurry up and find a dungeon to farm points.

I wonder where these monster dungeons are located?

Gu Mian searched aimlessly, encountering several more people along the way, but none of them were very strong and she quickly dealt with them.

And so, as dusk began to fall, she still hadn't found a single monster instance.

Looking at the stream in front of her, Gu Mian sighed helplessly and decided to find a place to spend the night first, and continue looking for dungeons tomorrow.

The temperature dropped significantly at night, and a gentle breeze caused Gu Mian, still wearing sweat-dampened clothes, to shiver.

Gu Mian looked around. There was no one around, and the stream was very clear.

After hesitating for a while, he didn't jump down directly, but instead wet a towel and wiped his body.

There were no obstructions around the stream, so she should keep a low profile. It would be awkward if someone suddenly appeared while she was taking a bath.

After changing into clean clothes, it got a little darker. There was no moon tonight, and the dim light made it hard for her to see the road.

Gu Mian took out a torch she had made from her backpack, lit it with a lighter, and held it in front of her, continuing to walk along the stream by the light of the torch.

After walking for about an hour, she followed the stream to a canyon.

Gu Mian stopped; she was so hungry and tired that she could no longer lift her legs.

She took out a few pieces of wood, placed them on the ground, lit them with a torch, and made a simple campfire. Then, exhausted, Gu Mian sat down on the ground.

Ignoring the dirt on the ground, he pulled out a bottle of mineral water and started gulping it down.

After finishing the bottle of water, I felt thirsty, but I was still very hungry.

However, she was too tired to cook for herself, so she simply took out a boxed lunch and started eating.

Today's dish is Mu Shu Pork Rice Bowl. I don't know if it's because she was so hungry, but it tasted especially delicious.

Halfway through her meal, Gu Mian heard the sound of someone swallowing behind her.

Swallowing the food in her mouth, Gu Mian suddenly turned around and demanded sharply, "Who's hiding in the back?"

The sound of swallowing disappeared, and everything behind him was quiet, as if nothing was there.

Gu Mian frowned. She was sure she hadn't misheard; someone was definitely hiding behind her, so she didn't let her guard down.

Another gust of cold wind blew by, carrying with it several wolf howls that seemed to come from nowhere, sending chills down one's spine.

There was still half a boxed lunch left, and Gu Mian wasn't full. After thinking for a moment, she sat down and continued eating.

The world is vast, but food is the most important thing; nothing can stop her from filling her stomach.
