Another rustling sound came from behind the tree. Gu Mian slowly swallowed the last bite of her rice and looked up at the shadows behind the tree.

"Stop hiding, just come out and say what you want to say."

Hiding behind a tree and spying on others eating, he's like a pervert!

There was still no movement behind the tree, so Gu Mian completely lost patience and pulled a burning piece of wood from the campfire and threw it over.

With a scream, a small, thin girl darted out from behind a tree like a monkey.

Gu Mian: ...

This is a bit awkward. I originally thought there was a lecherous big man or some other ill-intentioned person hiding behind the tree.

Looking at the girl with her head down and her eyes darting around, hmm...

"Ahem." Gu Mian decided to take the initiative and asked in a harsh voice, "Why were you hiding behind the tree and spying on me!"

The girl lowered her head, murmured a few times, and said in a voice so soft it was almost inaudible, "I didn't mean to watch you eat... I... I was just too hungry..."

"Too hungry?" Gu Mian raised an eyebrow noncommittally. "You've been surviving in the game for so long, you're not having trouble eating, are you?"

As she spoke, her face turned cold. "I advise you to tell the truth, or don't blame me for being impolite."

Too hungry?

Are you kidding me?

People who have survived to this day, even if they are not doing very well, would definitely not have trouble even eating.

“I’m telling the truth!” The girl raised her thin face. “I have enough supplies to feed five people, so I’m always hungry.”

I really didn't mean to peek at you, it's just that you looked so engrossed in your meal, I just couldn't resist... I'm so sorry!

Gu Mian: ...

Looking at the girl's thin, almost fleshless face, Gu Mian believed her story.

Oh my god!

They've become so thin they look unrecognizable; they must have been starving!

Since she meant no harm to him, Gu Mian naturally wouldn't make things difficult for her. He nodded as a farewell and prepared to move on to another place.

This place is too open and not suitable for spending the night. We need to find a more secluded spot.

As for the girl's story about supporting five people on her own, Gu Mian wasn't interested in other people's stories.

Although she does seem quite pitiful, it was all her own choice.

If you can't handle it, you don't have to do it. Since you've done it, it means you can bear the consequences.

She doesn't have that much free time to focus her energy on other people.

...

The cold wind was biting, and the temperature difference between day and night in this wretched place was extreme. When the wind blew at night, it was so cold that it chilled you to the bone.

Gu Mian was only wearing a thin tracksuit and was forced to stop after walking for less than an hour.

Rubbing the goosebumps on her arms from the cold wind, Gu Mian looked at the huge rock in front of her, which was as tall as a person, and decided not to leave. She would spend the night behind the rock.

She took out some wood and rebuilt a campfire. Gu Mian sat in front of the fire, feeling the warmth from the flames, and slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

I wonder if there will be bugs or other insects if I stay out overnight?

Even if there are insects, she doesn't seem to have any insect repellents or similar products, and she doesn't know if mosquito coils would work.

Lost in random thoughts, Gu Mian leaned against a rock and quickly drifted off to sleep.

"Boom!"

The thunderclap startled Gu Mian awake from her sleep.

Dark clouds quickly gathered above the canyon, and the sky soon darkened, indicating that a storm was imminent.

Rubbing her dry eyes, Gu Mian quickly got up and looked for a place to take shelter from the rain.

However, the area was open on all sides, and Gu Mian looked around but couldn't find a place to take shelter from the rain, except for the rocks that were everywhere.

Large raindrops quickly fell, pattering against faces and stinging cheeks.

The ground, soaked by the rain, became slippery, and Gu Mian became extra careful as she walked to avoid slipping and falling.

[Rare Metal Ore: 0/300]

Gu Mian slipped and grabbed a rock to steady herself when a system notification popped up.

Rare metal ore, huh?

This is the first time she's encountered this. Should she dig it up?

Without hesitation, Gu Mian wiped the rain off her cheeks, took out a high-grade mining pickaxe from her backpack, aimed it at the rare metal ore, and started digging.

Can a little rain stop her from being a liver-obsessed person?

Today she'll be a miner for once!

[Received 2 silver ingots and 1 gold ingot.]

[Talent Activation: Gain 4 Silver Nuggets and 2 Gold Nuggets.]

Gu Mian: ...

This is ridiculous! I was so motivated, and all I got from this huge rock was only three pieces of ore?

I've already taken my pants off, and this is what you show me?

Gu Mian stood there speechlessly, her lips twitching. She rolled her eyes several times before barely managing to suppress the profanities escaping her lips.

The rocks in this canyon are exceptionally dense; Gu Mian encounters a rock every few steps.

However, most of them were ordinary metal ores, which she would only glance at; she wouldn't bother to mine them.

So after walking for more than an hour, she only mined two rare metal ores, obtaining a total of 6 silver ingots and 4 gold ingots.

The record is quite impressive.

There is also a small area of ​​rare metal mines on the other side of the canyon, which is not only far away, but also distributed on the steep walls.

The mining was very difficult, so Gu Mian gave up after a little thought.
