Starting Off With Just A Tiny Bit Of Luck

Just as Yu Miaomiao picked up her phone to check the game link message, her vision went dark, and in the blink of an eye, she found herself inside a post-apocalyptic survival game — Desert Surviv...

Chapter 133 Desert Survival Day 15 (3) Advance payment...

"Strong regardless of age: Yang Haotian possesses a secret weapon and special transportation, allowing him to quickly reach his destination and even take heads from thousands of miles away. If I had to name a punishment, it would be a person in our organization called Yingyingguai. He holds no official position, but is Yang Haotian's trusted confidant. This Yingyingguai possesses a unique ability to see the contents of other people's backpacks. Yang Haotian has Yingyingguai monitor the backpacks of the Life Winner and his subordinates almost daily. If he detects any anomalies, he uses this secret weapon. As for what this secret weapon is, I don't know."

At this moment, Yu Miaomiao felt that the world was really a circle, and the people she knew were all around her.

Or as a saying goes in the real world, as long as you know three people, you can know everyone in the world.

By the way, where is the secret weapon he mentioned, the card he drew yesterday?

[System Notice: Gem Resource Card Reward Calculation Begins]

[Successfully trigger the Lucky trait, White Gems*19, Yellow Gems*19, Purple Gems*9, Black Gems*9, Red Gems*3, Gold Gems*1.]

Yu Miaomiao: ...

So, while she was asleep, the system had automatically selected this Gem Resource Card for her...? It even kindly activated the Lucky trait for her.

What other uses does this gem have besides being sold in stores?

According to the price of gems, it means giving her 1*19+5*19+9*10, 9*20, 3*50, 1*100, a total of 634 portions of slime?

It was a great harvest indeed. It seemed that I hadn’t given her anything too bad when she fell asleep.

It will take another hour before the next sandstorm comes, and her backpack is about to be full again. She first made herself a few intermediate backpack expanders. Now she needs to scroll down to see all the things in her bag.

These gems also shone exceptionally brightly in her backpack, and she felt that it was more than just selling slime.

While making the backpack, she was thinking about the saying, "No matter how old you are, you are still strong."

Yingyingguai's characteristic is her ability to see through things. I didn't expect that she would lurk in the Tiandihui and become a core member and Yang Haotian's confidant, and she hid her identity so well.

According to what Hua Bie and Yingyingguai said, they should be old acquaintances, and Yingyingguai also helped him kill a group of subordinates of the big winner in life.

Could it be that the Yingying monster has been lurking in the Tiandihui to help Yang Haotian do these things, just to gain their trust and eventually destroy the Tiandihui?

If this is the case, then Hua Bie also has the same idea.

Therefore, Hua Bie was not surprised by the fact that he was going to rely on medical supplies and drive up prices to dismantle the Tiandihui. Instead, he supported it unconditionally.

It turns out that he is also a hidden comrade.

Yu Miaomiao still remembered that Yingyingguai asked her to keep this trait a secret. She thought that the people in the Tiandihui probably didn't know how amazing Yingyingguai's ability of perspective was. They only knew that he could check backpacks.

So when Yu Miaomiao heard this, she must have expressed some shock, so she thought for a while and replied.

"Meow Meow is not short of water: Is this function so powerful? Can it observe the status of other people's backpacks every day? Can it see everyone's backpacks?"

She knew the answer, but still tried to focus the question on the backpack so as not to let the other party associate it with other abilities of Yingying Monster's perspective.

"No matter how old you are, you're still strong: I'm not sure about that. I've never contacted Yingyingguai. After all, he's Yang Haotian's man. I've only heard that he has a bad temper. Usually, it's Yang Haotian who contacts him directly. We were also told to contact Yingyingguai less frequently and not let him use this function too frequently."

Miaomiao was not sure whether it could be used frequently or whether there were any restrictions on its use, but what she was sure of was that from his words, she could tell that he was very dissatisfied with this organizational management method and even the managers.

In the Tiandihui, Yang Haotian almost alone controls all the top resources and absolute voice, and even monopolizes special talents and secret materials.

Even high-level executives like No matter how old they are, they are still kept in the dark about many things and can only eat what Yang Haotian leaves behind. They must be resentful. It is no wonder that everyone in the union has ulterior motives and has long since left the union.

From him, Yu Miaomiao learned that, at least, the big winner in life was the only one in charge of the medical supplies, and no matter how old he was, he would have no chance to get involved.

If all pharmaceutical products are managed by the big winner in life, where did he get the summer heat medicine last time?

It must have been done by someone in the group of life's biggest winners, so he must have people under him who are secretly loyal to him no matter how old they are, and the relationship between them is really complicated.

During these days of preparation, Lulu learned from her colleagues that many people had learned how to make medical supplies. When Lulu was being hunted, members of the Tiandihui who were on the verge of death had also come forward to reveal the news. Therefore, those who knew how to make medical supplies dared not come out publicly and could only secretly accept orders, using the excuse that they were paid by drawing cards.

Therefore, the big winners in life have always lived in the illusion that they are the only ones who can make medical supplies.

I just don't know why they suspected that Lulu was still alive, and then made a fuss about it two days ago, and even put the blame on Yu Miaomiao. They must be trying to force Lulu out and kill her again like last time.

dream.

Wearing a sun hat, she took a meat cleaver and cut the wheat ears.

The meat cleaver is really dual-purpose, it can be used to cut meat and chop vegetables, but I don’t know how it can be used to chop people.

After the wheat is harvested, the entire plant will disappear and will not support secondary growth with fertilization, so she planted a new seed.

At the same time, 50 more wheat grains appeared in the backpack. Next, they needed to be hulled and ground into flour in the grinder. Three grinders started working at the same time.

The wind and sand forecaster showed that the next sandstorm would take one hour, so the harvested wheat ears could be crushed. She had also collected the fourth-level food that could be made from wheat, and she could make it after lighting a fire at night.

Yu Miaomiao has completed three intermediate backpack expanders. Although luck was not triggered, the time spent was faster than the previous elementary ones. It should be the acceleration effect brought about by the improvement of various physical values. I don’t know which value played a role.

She brought back a lot of seeds from the expedition this time, and she still needs more planting boxes. Lulu is still busy making final preparations. She searched around the world and found 15 people to order a small planting box and a medium-sized planting box respectively. The goods will be received in the afternoon.

Seeing that she hadn't replied for a long time, Du Qiang sent another message.

"No matter how old you are, you are still strong: So, what plans do you have now? Can you tell me about it? Is there anything I can help you with?"

It was impossible to tell him the plan, and who knew if he would be able to do it, but helping her was definitely necessary.

"Meow Meow: Before I tell you about the plan, I'd like to advance the payment you just mentioned."

By the way, it took me a long time to reply, as if I didn’t understand what she meant.

"No matter how old you are, it's still good: Can I get an advance on my salary?"

"Miaomiao is not short of water: You know the grudge between him and me without me having to tell you. So no matter what, as long as I'm here, the big winner in life will die one day, and it won't be long. If you believe me, give me part of the reward in advance, that is, now, so that I can kill him faster."

Yu Miaomiao said it very bluntly. Since she was asked to do the dangerous thing, the other party certainly couldn't sit back and enjoy the results. She must pay some price in advance.

"Strong no matter how old: What do you want? Weapons? From what I know, his base is already taking shape. It should be difficult for you to break through his defenses alone. If it's a very high-end weapon, I don't have it."

For some reason, Yu Miaomiao felt that the person talking to him at this moment seemed like a different person, straightforward and obviously much easier to communicate with.

"Meow Meow is not short of water: How do you know I'm alone? I believe you came to me because you saw that I have the ability to clear the expedition zone, and therefore I have the ability to defeat him. So, if you want to achieve your goal, please provide me with more slime. The more the better, at least 500 pieces."

Yu Miaomiao is very busy now. On the one hand, she is collecting information about gems in the world, and on the other hand, she is harvesting plants. She just starts to speak and gives a number.

After Lulu and I counted them for the first time, we found that there were currently 200 bandages, 10 primary medical kits, and 1 intermediate medical kit. After doing all this, the only thing left in her bag was the slime she brought back this time. The first few would definitely cost a lot of money, so she wouldn't have enough on her own.

Thinking about so many things to do, she wished there were 48 hours in a day.

When she searched for posts, she actually found one posted by Yang Haotian.

Hmm? Yang Haotian... is looking to buy gemstones?

And...it was purchased at a price more than three times the gem's listed price.

This news did not resonate with many people. Only a few curious people asked what the gem was, but he did not respond.

Could it be that... this gem has other greater uses? It seems she has to keep it for now.

All the plants have been collected. In addition to 80 raspberries, 30 lettuces and 2 fragrant flowers in the bag, I also got two special plant seeds, the trouble-relieving flower and the hugging vine.

【Name: Fragrant Flowers (1/1)

Level: 12

Introduction: After throwing out the cute and fragrant flower, all nearby creatures except yourself will fall into a coma, but it may also lose its effect.

Properties: After use, it can make non-friendly creatures within 5 meters fall into coma for 5 minutes, and some armor can resist the fragrance of flowers.

What a good thing! Even though it’s only 5 minutes, sometimes it’s just 5 minutes of life-saving time, just like when she killed two adult mammoths for the first time when she drew the card.

The Jietiaohua is said to be able to solve the trouble of losing items, but its specific effects can only be known after it is planted. The Baobao Teng is said to allow the user to stand still without being disturbed by any external factors.

After planting special plants in the three empty planting boxes and watering them, she roughly counted the items in her backpack.

There are 55 kinds of seeds in total, and the planting boxes will probably take up a large area. Now she also has to consider the safety of her base.

Using traps to protect against wild monsters is no longer enough, as there are survivors moving around everywhere. After thinking about it, she immediately asked people around the world to customize several death traps, which are self-visible ground traps with barbs.

In addition to the thousands of basic supplies, she also has hundreds of other common supplies. Apart from the need to replenish ammunition, she is now very well-off.

There were even 80 bottles of mineral water in her backpack. She put four bottles on the auction house for sale, referring to the prices of other people, 15 slimes per bottle.

"No matter how old you are, you're still strong: You're also collecting slime. Do you have some new features that allow you to buy goodies with slime?"

also?

Yu Miaomiao wanted mucus in order to drive up the prices of medical supplies, but he didn't expect him to say "also".

"Meow Meow is not short of water: Who else?"

"No matter how old, it's still strong: Our president, I don't know what he does specifically. 500 units of slime, right? I can't invest in vain. Can you give me a deadline? If things don't work out, how about returning 400 units in half a month?"

Yu Miaomiao agreed without thinking.

The other party seemed unwilling to say more about Yang Haotian.

But she was puzzled. If Yang Haotian had truly unlocked a similar function to the store, why would he still use slime to buy gems at such a high price? Could it be that gems were required to purchase from the store?

She glanced at the remaining four items in the unfinished system synthesis guide. Several of them were very beneficial to her at the current stage.

Especially the automatic turret, which must be able to protect her safety to a great extent. There are still a lot of supplies now. She clicked on the synthesis button very generously, and the construction hammer flew out of the backpack and worked hard. She also returned to the house before the wind and sand arrived.

Adding the advance mucus she had just received from No Matter How Old You Are, She Is Strong, she still had 500 portions, which was still not enough.

At this time, he received a message from Iris.

"Iris: I would like to exchange material for a detailed guide to your expedition. I wonder if you would accept it?"

"Meow Meow isn't short of water: I'm not short of any other supplies right now, just slime. Just give me as much as you can, and I'll be happy to share that much. But there's one thing I want to tell you in advance: I should be sharing some basic knowledge about the expedition area with others in a semi-public manner soon. Why don't you come back and ask me later?"

After the bandage plan, Yu Miaomiao had a second plan. She thought it would be better to be honest with the other party, even though she really needed mucus.

"Iris: It might be too late. I'm already in the Dark Oasis."

"Iris: I'll pay you 300 slimes in advance. Can you tell me how many treasure chests there are, as well as the situation of the second-to-last monster and the final guardian monster?"

The rich lady is really generous, but does Yu Miaomiao want to tell it? Of course, it’s okay for her to talk about other details, but once this most critical issue is revealed, after Iris passes the level, with her ability, she may be able to conquer other adventure areas faster than herself, and then the card to restore the world order may very likely fall into Iris’s hands.

If Iris really enjoys this doomsday world, it would be like giving up her way home to others.

"Meow Meow is Not Short of Water: The reward you offer is indeed very generous, but before answering your questions, can I ask you a question first? If you are not comfortable answering, I will not be able to say anything else."

Hua Bie had asked her the same trick once before, and Yu Miaomiao was going to learn it and ask other people today. She was really not good at learning from others.

"Iris: Ask now, but it's best to do it as soon as possible. I want to leave before the card draw."

"Meow Meow is not short of water: Did you also get this restoration order card?"

"Iris: Yes, this is the only card that comes with the reward for being number one on the expedition rankings."

"Iris: Will the first expedition also have this card?"

"Iris: If you have it, could you sell it to me? I'm willing to pay 2,000 units of slime."

Seeing that the other party sent several messages in succession, Yu Miaomiao stopped what she was doing and concentrated on replying to her messages.

"Meow Meow: Can I ask why you want this card so much?"

Seeing that the other party told her honestly what he had gained, Yu Miaomiao immediately replied.

"Meow Meow: I can tell you a little trick first. When you draw cards, it's actually your best time to fight. Because during the five-minute selection period, the entire world freezes. During this time, as long as you don't select cards or don't move to hit a monster, you can better deal with other monsters."

"Iris: Because I want to go back and see the one I love one last time."

"Iris: Do you think it's too low? We can negotiate the price."

"Iris: Sorry, I'm a little anxious. Thank you for your advice. I'll leave now."

Seeing Iris so anxious, and thinking of how she fought monsters time and time again just to go back and see the one she loved, Yu Miaomiao couldn't help but be moved.

"Meow Meow is not short of water: My goal is the same as yours. Before I confirm your true intentions, no price may be enough for me to sell it. Sorry."

"Iris: What about other rewards? Ability cards? Anything is fine. I can even give you priority for any good things I can get in the future."

"Meow Meow is not short of water: I also want to leave this world as soon as possible, otherwise I wouldn't be so anxious to complete the game. Those who don't want to leave are content with the status quo, right? Besides, I trust you now and sell it to you. If something happens to you and someone picks up your things, it may completely cut off everyone's way back."

Yu Miaomiao was very direct. If she really wanted the world to return to normal, she should understand. She understood Iris's urgency, but she would not simply pin her hopes on others.

"Iris: Okay, I understand... But the doctor has issued a critical illness notice, saying he only has three months to live. I'm really afraid that all my efforts will be in vain."

Iris squatted on the exploration ground, her shoulders shaking uncontrollably, tears streaming down her face.

For so many days, she didn't cry when she was injured fighting monsters, didn't cry when she was maliciously harassed, and didn't cry even when she was exhausted and couldn't lift her hands. She didn't cry even when she almost didn't make it out of the ghost gate of the prank cave.

At this moment, thinking of him lying alone on the hospital bed, she cried.

She wanted to go back, but she was more afraid of the cruel game system that would send the person she loved to the end of the world. The thought of this made her extremely anxious, and she even exposed her vulnerability in front of a stranger for the first time.

"Meow Meow is not short of water: You have people you love, and I have people I care about in the real world. This road may be difficult to walk, but we can work hard together."

Yu Miaomiao wanted to give Iris strength, but she was also afraid that she would give up. Without Iris's struggle and Hua Bie's persistence, and the joint efforts of those who wanted to return to their families, the list would most likely be occupied by the group who did not want to leave.

"Iris: Okay, just for what you said. Although I don't know what you want the slime for, I'm willing to pay 600 slime in exchange for the information I just asked for. Can you accept it?"

It was amazing, her intuition told her that Iris was not lying, and this guide was worth it in exchange for 600 pieces of slime.

"Meow Meow is not short of water: Good."

Now everything is ready, only the Yingying monster is missing.

In order to ensure that this matter can proceed perfectly, she needs to confirm a few more things with Yingyingguai.

Yu Miaomiao didn't want to contact her through Hua Bie, as she always felt a little weird.

In fact, she received a message from Yingyingguai in the morning. It was a message of concern. She thought about it and replied, "I'm fine, thank you for your concern."

Before she could ask anything else, she received the next message from the Yingying monster.

"Yingying Monster: Sister Miaomiao, could you please make me some weapons for self-defense?"

"Meow Meow is not short of water: You can tell me what you want to do specifically. If it's not much or you don't need to use a heating machine, I can help you do it now. There is a sandstorm here and it's too hot indoors."

She had just recovered and it was almost noon when she returned to the house. It was very hot inside and she felt even weaker.

"Yingyingguai: It's so great that you agreed to help me. I'm feeling really unsafe right now. I don't have any weapons, and I'm really worried. Could you please make me any gun you find convenient? I have all kinds of bullets. By the way, how much do I have to pay for the production and booking fees?"

Huh? She's strong no matter her age. Didn't we just say that Yingyingguai is Yang Haotian's trusted confidant? How could she be unsafe? Logically speaking, with such a powerful trait that surpasses the system before, Yang Haotian shouldn't let her get hurt.

"Meow Meow: Unsafe? A shield would be better, right? I'm thinking you could tell me a little about the Tiandihui as a fee, is that okay?"

"Yingyingguai: Hey, I have a shield too. Yang Haotian gave me one, but I can't just run away. I always feel like someone is following me, but I have no evidence! I'm afraid someone will kidnap me while I'm sleeping at night, so I can fight them back. If you want to know anything about the Tiandihui, just ask me. I'll tell you."

Kidnapping?

"Miaomiao is not short of water: Assault rifle and shotgun, tell me which one you can use, and I'll make it for you. But please don't tell anyone else that I can make these. I don't want too many people to know about it for now. What I want to know is how much medical supplies and weapons the winner of life has. If possible, it would be great if you could tell me the defense structure of his base."

"Yingyingguai: Qi Jintao! I suspect the people following me are his men! He has a follower named 'Not Short of Money' who can see other people's locations through group chats. What an incredible feature! I'm not his friend, but I have a feeling he's nearby! I'm cursing! Honest people don't do shady things, they just love to do sneaky things! I hate it! Stinky ants!"

"Yingying Monster: Can I use the same weapon? One for ranged combat, one for close combat. If I catch the person following me, I'll shoot him dead."

"Yingyingguai: The medical supplies in the hands of the winner of life, let me see, wait a moment."
