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 208: First Day of Survival at Sea (6) Are you inviting me...
Yu Miaomiao's hair is very long and thick, and the rain water on her head is difficult to dry quickly, making her scalp itchy. She tries her best to resist scratching it.
Just when she was about to search the world for tools like hair dryers, she received a new message from Yue Yina.
"Yiren Fanfantian: Miaobao, I have a hot air blower here. Do you need it now? Please return it to me after use."
How did Yue Yina know that she was wet and couldn't dry herself? Nana seemed to be like this every time. In reality, she was always the first to see the difficulties Yu Miaomiao encountered. It turned out that Nana's ex-boyfriend was jealous of this.
"Yiren Tiaantian: Don't ask me how I know. You just lost your most important friend in the apocalypse, so you're inevitably distracted by the battle. You didn't notice that the rain in the apocalypse is poisonous. Your hair is so long, it must be difficult to dry. As for why I have it, it's because during the 20 days of the apocalypse, I collected all the blueprints, useful and useless. Also, if you weren't my Miaobao, I still have a spare if you lost your hot air blower. If you need it, send me a message and I can trade it to you."
Clean and neat, without a word of nonsense, this is Yu Miaomiao's Nana.
She immediately sent a message saying "OK", and the other party directly traded the item to her.
But, what's the matter with this hot air blower with a durability of 1? Maybe she is afraid that Yu Miaomiao is not the real one. Nana has indeed kept a backup plan.
For Nana, if Miaomiao was not short of water and was not Yu Miaomiao, this thing without durability would require a flamethrower to repair. Even if the hot air blower she traded for was lost, her loss would be minimal.
Xiaoguai lay lazily on the mat, with water droplets on his head dripping down his fur to the ground. The mat under his butt was already completely wet, but he didn't care.
The hot air blower is small and has a fan outlet on the front, much like a modern shoe dryer.
Yu Miaomiao spent one flamethrower organ to repair the item, then she lay down and aimed the air outlet at the cushions for her and Xiaoguai.
The warm wind blowing in my face was so comfortable, and the itchiness on my face quickly disappeared.
It seems that as long as the rain stops, the damage to the skin will disappear.
While blowing the wind, she turned on the system's reward.
She wanted to see what these strange card draws would give her.
[System Notice: Calculation of Sea Survival Newcomer Gift Pack Card Rewards has begun]
[Failed to trigger the Lucky trait. Gained Float*4, Mineral Water*0.5, Steamed Bun*2, Mini Fishing Rod*1, Seaweed Bait*1.]
This is what she just got from drawing a card, the so-called newcomer gift pack.
Before collecting the reward, she went to the world to look at everyone's discussions. Everyone said that they had drawn this gift package, and the contents were exactly the same as what she saw now.
So these survivors who have survived in the desert for thirty days are also newcomers, just like those survivors who have just arrived in the apocalypse.
These "veterans" all have survival experience, and even have good weapons and defensive facilities, so they still have enough energy to deal with monsters and weather.
And what about those real "newcomers"? When they first arrive, facing such weather and monsters, what chance do they have of surviving?
Yu Miaomiao laughed at herself, wondering how she could have the time to worry about other people. She couldn't even...
Lulu's message just now was still lingering in her mind, "Sister Meow Meow...Api is gone."
She couldn't even protect Api, so how could she consider others?
The second notification was broadcast simultaneously while she was thinking.
[System Notice: Life Card Reward Calculation Begins]
[Successfully trigger the Lucky trait and obtain 2 Limited Liability Life Responsibility Cards (bound).]
She was not surprised at all about this item, because when everyone was talking about what they had gotten today, she had seen people in the world scolding this card, saying that they couldn't figure out what this strange thing was. She didn't pay close attention to everyone's discussion.
【Name: Limited Liability Life Liability Card (Binding) (1/1)
Level: 99
Introduction: Extends the user's life under limited circumstances
Attribute: The responsibility for your life is still in your own hands, so cherish every moment.
No wonder people all over the world are cursing. With such ambiguous words, who knows how to use them and when to use them?
What about Api?
What did Api choose yesterday?
What would happen if Api also chose the Life card?
Will it prolong life?
If it continues, why is the friend column still gray...the message she sent still prompts that she is offline.
Yu Miaomiao's expression darkened, and she heard a "meow" sound beside her.
Xiaoguai is hungry again.
Only after she put roasted wolf meat in its food bowl did she come out of her memories. She still had 587 pieces of wolf meat on her body, which she thought was enough.
But after coming to the Sea World, Xiaoguai's food consumption rate increased greatly.
Originally, it only needed to eat 5-20 pieces every night, and it would bring multiples of three wolves depending on its hunger level.
But since entering the sea world, it has eaten 13 pieces from this morning until now, and is still hungry. At this rate of consumption, the meat in the bag is only enough for it to eat for 10 days.
Of all the meat, it only likes to eat roasted wolf meat. Is it because it doesn’t like other meats, or is it because it can’t eat them?
After checking the potential cards, she needed to do some experiments, so she said to the furry animal beside her, "Little darling, I'll feed you later."
"Meow, woo—"
hurry up.
[System Notice: Myth Card Rewards Calculation Begins]
[Failed to trigger the Lucky trait. Gained 7 mineral waters, 7 energy drinks, 35 pieces of wood, 55 iron blocks, 100 screws, 20 pieces of scrap iron, 1 video cassette production blueprint, 1 coconut chicken meal, and 2 coconut waters.]
[System Notice: Treasure Card Reward Calculation Begins]
[Failed to trigger the Lucky trait, and received 1 Gold Treasure Hunt Card and 1 Platinum Treasure Hunt Card.]
She was very excited when she recalled the first time she drew a mythical card. The supplies inside were several times more than those in ordinary draws, but after experiencing the expedition, these were nothing.
To thrive in the apocalypse, you must explore the land and hunt for treasures.
She had opened this treasure hunt before, and it was displayed in a place far away, but it was open instantly. She only needed to install the hull engine and drive to a place 1 kilometer away to open it directly.
[System prompt: Player Miaomiao is not short of water and has unlocked the video cassette production. Wisdom value increased by 1.]
This video cassette is used with a player. The cassette records three random movies or entertainment programs, which the survivors can watch through the player.
Although the card has a limited number of uses, which is three times, it has greatly enriched everyone's daily life.
The originally boring and monotonous survival now has some more entertainment.
But, this is a survival game in the apocalypse... What's the point of this kind of entertainment? Is it going to make people lose their minds and become completely lost in this world?
When her hair was almost dry, she returned the hot hair dryer to Nana, who simply replied, "Hmm...you still look like the honest Miaomiao."
What...
In the message column, Yu Miaomiao finally saw Iris's reply.
“Meow—”
Seeing Yu Miaomiao staring at the holographic screen in front of her in a daze, Xiaoguai urged her.
She read the message while absentmindedly continuing to throw out pieces of barbecue.
"Iris: I only have 10 chances a day to not be monitored. I've already used 8 of them myself, so I hope you'll see what I'm about to say. First, the card for repairing the world order is useful, but we might not be able to gather them all. Second, this apocalyptic game was developed by a mysterious organization. It was originally intended to simulate apocalyptic disasters and serve as a training ground for a small number of people with special physiques. It was eventually exploited by the bad guys in the organization and turned into what it is now. Third, the person who provided me with this information and released the hidden task was a system designer in the organization. When she was first invited to participate in the design, she was not told that this was the case. It was not until she developed the prank cave that she discovered something was wrong with the system. Finally, she left this hidden task while the administrator was not paying attention. Fourth, as the system continues..."
"Iris: During development, to prevent her reminders from being discovered, she can only provide a few small hints at various stages of survival. Fifth, all system operations will be recorded and monitored, and the system will continuously analyze and utilize them through AI calculations, so you must be extremely cautious in the future. However, in-person, that is, offline operations, they can only record and cannot provide real-time monitoring and extensive analysis, so it is relatively safer. Finally, I sincerely hope that you can join me in collecting the cards to restore the world order and return to the real world as soon as possible. And Huabie, if he is with you, please ask him in person if he is willing to join. Now is not the time to meet. Once I have figured it out, we can find another opportunity to meet."
A lot of information.
Yu Miaomiao was eating a single meal of coconut chicken, digesting the food while also digesting the news.
The content sent by Iris was the same as what she thought, but also different.
The same thing is that this system is just as she guessed, a vicious program that is constantly calculating and evolving, targeting different survivors.
The difference is that the repair cards may not be complete.
What do you mean by maybe we can't put it all together? Getting this card is a given. As long as everyone works together, we can put it all together. Could it be that the designer who provided help with the hidden task had already predicted that people would be divided in the end times and could not put it all together?
Or at the system design level, we can't provide so many cards.
She couldn't reply to Iris's message to ask, otherwise she would be monitored, unless she had the chance to ask in person.
Probably due to character limitations, Iris didn't finish her words and only said that it was not appropriate to meet now.
What about tomorrow? Will Iris talk to her tomorrow? Most likely not.
By this afternoon, Iris had used up all 10 chances. She must have used these 10 times to contact different people, or to do something in secret. Yu Miaomiao could only send her a greeting message every day as a routine. She couldn't ask any more questions and could only wait until the other party was free.
Regardless of whether Luck is triggered or not, the person at the top of the list can only get one Restoring World Order card on the settlement day.
At the end of the month, everyone on each server can get 14 cards to repair the world order.
No, only the internal test servers can do that. There is no so-called internal server ranking list for other servers, so they can only collect 13 cards in a month, which is 30 days.
The best case scenario is that after half a year, people from other servers will come to the beta server with all the cards from the current server, combine the cards, and everyone can go back, and everyone will be happy. Why do I say maybe?
The problem must be in the system design. The malicious system controller must have set a trap somewhere.
Could it be that the survivor won first place but couldn't get the card?
Or, he would definitely kill the survivor ranked first on the list and make the cards in his bag disappear.
Whatever it was, she would have to be more cautious in the future.
The sea was calm the whole afternoon, with no other monsters causing trouble, only showers, which made Yu Miaomiao feel a little strange.
There is constant discussion in the world. The time period, number and type of monsters encountered by each person are different. It seems that these monsters are fighting guerrilla warfare in the entire apocalypse without any pattern.
Moreover, the sea surface looks blue, but the situation in the water is unclear at all, and no one has actually seen what the monster in the water looks like.
Today she had very little contact with Nana and Lulu. The three of them tacitly prepared survival supplies, especially shields and sea equipment.
After learning that Yu Miaomiao had acquired the cassette production technology, Nana asked her to help out with a part of the job and also gave her an electric baton as payment.
Looking at the electric baton in his hand, Yu Miaomiao wondered how many strange supplies Nana had collected.
Yu Miaomiao is very busy today. She plans to observe the survival situation at sea tomorrow. If possible, she will use a fixed anchor to fix the float and go to the adventure site to test the water.
If she kept so many cards in her hand and didn't use them all after 30 days, they would be wasted like the expired cards in the corpse bag she picked up that morning.
As night falls, the moonlight is reflected on the sea, the float sways, and a lone boat lies quietly on the water. Tonight seems particularly peaceful.
Xiaoguai had fallen asleep on the mat, and Yu Miaomiao stood in the house and continued to practice the tortoise breathing technique.
She quickly finished learning the turtle breathing technique for running, and the next page was about adjusting the breath for swinging a sword. Further on, there seemed to be turtle breathing exercises related to swimming posture, but because it was a later chapter, the system only allowed her to take a general look.
System, system, and another system. The character that she had worked so hard to grow up in the apocalypse was messed up by it.
call.
Yu Miaomiao sighed, closed her eyes, and devoted herself to the practice.
Just as she was concentrating on her practice, a system voice entered her mind.
[System Notice: Apocalypse Difficulty Upgrade Warning]
[The End of the World Survival Game - 1 Survival at Sea will end after the 20th day. Players will soon enter the End of the World Survival Game - 1 Polar Survival World. The Difficulty Mode will gradually escalate to the Extreme Difficulty Mode within 20 days. Please survive well.]
What?
Is there an extremely difficult mode after the difficult mode?
Are you going to let people live?
Yu Miaomiao woke up from the state of being about to fall asleep in an instant.
The last warning started when there were still 10 days left before the difficult mode began. This time, the warning started as soon as we entered the sea survival stage.
This warning means that from now on, the difficulty of survival will increase with each day, and there will be no 20-day "buffer period" like survival in the desert.
In fact, there are only 20 days of survival at sea before the next natural disaster occurs.
What is polar survival? Is it the same living environment as in the Arctic and Antarctic?
Thinking about the snow-related crafts she had received before, this should be the case.
If we are going to enter a world similar to the snow season in 20 days, then what about other natural disasters in the future? Will there be other natural disasters and how long will they take to arrive?
The first time is 30 days, the second time is 20 days, and the third time is 10 days.
By analogy, the natural disaster environment will change every day in the future.
When one season changes to another, there will definitely be widespread and severe conditions. How can humans survive?
This message was not only received by Yu Miaomiao, but also by all the survivors who were already in the sea survival world.
The originally quiet world chat was instantly ignited by this information, and even the cross-server chat became lively.
Yu Miaomiao first looked at her private messages.
"Yiren Tiafantian: Miaobao, do you have anything on you that proves you are yours? It's a bit troublesome for me to find you through the temporary message box, so I think it would be more convenient to add you as a friend."
"Miao Miao is not short of water: [Swiss Army Knife (Yu Miaomiao)], this thing was brought back for me by my aunt when she went on a business trip to Switzerland. You get one and I get one. You lost yours right after you got it."
"Yiren Tiaantian: Khan, there's no need to talk about such a shameful thing. Let me think about it, when this happened, there shouldn't have been any surveillance nearby. It shouldn't have been recorded by the system many years ago and sent to the person who killed Yu Miaomiao."
"Meow Meow: What about you? Do you have anything to prove your identity?"
The other party directly sent a transaction request and placed a [Kawaii Cat Keychain (Yue Yina)] on it for her to identify.
The two of them got this keychain by playing ring tossing. When Nana said she wanted one, Yu Miaomiao practiced on her own for a long time before going to a small vendor to get it as a gift for Yue Yina.
"Yiren Tiaantian: After communicating with you, I'm pretty sure you're Miao Baole. For convenience, let's add each other as friends. If you have any questions, you can delete us at any time. Anyway, we're cross-server friends, so it won't affect us for now."
Yu Miaomiao searched the forum and found that cross-server friends cannot view their locations, so it really doesn't matter.
And judging from the behavior of the person opposite, it should be Nana.
"Meow Meow: Nana, during the ten days I was gone, did you notice I was missing? Did you call the police or anything?"
"Yiren Fanfantian: Is it possible that you thought you disappeared for ten days, but to me, it was only one hour?"
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Huh? Only one hour?"
"Yiren Tiaanfantian: It's not as exaggerated as an hour, but it shouldn't exceed a day at most. I thought you were working and it was inconvenient to check your phone, so I didn't think you disappeared. You have to remember, this system is just a world made up of data. Anything can be fake, and of course anything can be real. Don't let anything affect your mentality. You are you."
You are you.
What do I think of myself in Nana's eyes?
Yu Miaomiao didn't ask, she could imagine that if she asked, Nana's reply would definitely be, "You are what you think you are." After chatting briefly with Nana for a few sentences, she looked at the group chat of three people.
"Pangpang: Sister Miaomiao, what should I do? I'm having a hard time killing monsters today. If it weren't for Master Huabie, I would have died. I'm afraid I wouldn't even make it to the Polar World."
Lulu's tone was very dejected.
According to the feedback from survivors around the world, the number of monsters will indeed increase as the number of people gather, but the amount and frequency of rainfall are random, and it will not rain continuously just because there are many people.
She was alone with a cat in this metal house on a floating board. She seemed so insignificant, like an ant fighting against nature.
Yu Miaomiao was worried that she would harm her companions again, but was the fault hers?
Her former relatives said that her parents' death was her fault. Now the system has once again used that damn AI to calculate how important A-Pi is to her, leading to such a result. Should she just accept it?
If she really had this unlucky ability, the first thing she should do is to kill this damn system instead of letting it affect her.
"Meow Meow is not short of water: I see you are quite far away from me. Why don't you consider slowly moving closer and living together? It might be better for us to survive together?"
"Pangpang: Really? That's great! Yingying and I have agreed that as long as you agree, we will come over. As for the great god Huabie, how about you, Sister Miaomiao, go and talk to him?"
"Meow Meow is not short of water: OK."
Although she sent the message "OK", she actually stared at the dialog box for a full ten minutes.
How should I start the conversation without being abrupt?
“Ding ding.”
In the chat box in front of me was a message sent by Hua Biesixie.
"Hanabetsu: Are you there? Could you please help me check the number of my expedition card? [Fishman Island Single Trial Card] (113)."
It turned out to be a three-digit expedition card, indicating that there were more expedition locations for survival at sea.
"Meow Meow: It's 113. Have you been there? I see your exploration strategy has changed."
Well, let’s start with other topics, Yu Miaomiao thought.
"Hanabie: Well, I went to the Crystal Palace, but I came back early because of a lack of oxygen."
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Would it be convenient for us to discuss some of the expedition's progress in person later?"
"Meow Meow is not short of water: What I mean is, isn't the system always observing us? It might be better to communicate face to face."
As soon as she sent this message, she received a reply from the other party.
"Huabie: I heard Yingying say that they were going to look for you. Are you inviting me to join them?"
"Meow Meow is not short of water: If you are willing, I would like to invite you to build a base together."
Hua Bie just typed "Of course I do" on the screen, then went back to delete it and typed a few words again.
"Huabie: Okay, then I'll come with Yingying and Lulu."
A small base for 4 people, it sounds good when you think about it.
With more people, when the sea monster appears, they can be divided into groups to fight the monster and repair the float, instead of having to rush into the house like she did today, blow-drying her hair and repairing the house.
But now the hull design instrument has been built. She took out a small disc from her backpack, and after twisting it open, she could see the prototype of her float. After dragging the float to confirm, she could change the position of the float, which was very convenient.
