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 44: Desert Survival Day 7 (10) You Can’t Be a Bad Guy…

Chapter 44: Desert Survival Day 7 (10) You Can’t Be a Bad Guy…

When Hua Bie saw that the girl named Miaomiao Buqueshui took the name-changing card, he guessed that something must have happened to her. Now she expressed this sentiment. The two of them had already done business and cooperated with each other several times, and it was rare for him to say something to comfort her.

"Hua Bie: Since you've chosen to change your name and start over, don't dwell on the bad things you've encountered in the past. Just grow stronger, and you won't have to worry about bad guys who are weaker than you."

Why did he think she needed to change her name and start over?

But it's strange that Hua Bie didn't worry about giving him the name-changing card and running away after taking the blueprints. Does he trust him so much?

"Meow Meow is not short of water: Why am I not the bad guy who did something bad and wanted to change his name and run away?"

"Hua Bie: You can't be a bad guy."

"Meow meow is not short of water:???"

He could say that she doesn't look like a bad person, or that she is not a bad person, but why can't she be a bad person?

"Hanabetsu: Don't you want to know what the next feature is after completing the system synthesis guide? It's not the cross-server feature, it's the leaderboard."

"Meow Meow is Not Short of Water: Rankings? Are these really rankings like in the game?"

『Hanabie: Yeah, about the same.』

"Meow Meow is Not Short of Water: After completing the item synthesis, are there any other rewards besides the leaderboard? "

"Hanabetsu: No, but the ranking list itself has a reward system."

Is this to encourage everyone to be on the list?

Yu Miaomiao couldn't help but feel curious about this ranking list. What were the rankings on it? Were they the values ​​in the personal panel?

If it were only the four-dimensional values, her values ​​would be so low that even she couldn't bear to look at them, and she probably wouldn't make the list.

What is the reward? It should be something good.

Opening the holographic interface, Yu Miaomiao planned to synthesize all the items in these synthesis guides to unlock the next stage as soon as possible, which would bring him one step closer to enabling the cross-server function.

First, Yu Miaomiao planned to upgrade the cabin, otherwise after making the heater and the automatic small turret, there would not be enough space in the house.

Find the 'Small Cabin to Large Cabin' item in the wrench and click the 'Synthesis' button at the back.

The construction hammer ran out of the backpack and started to hit her cabin from left to right, and then from bottom to top. The whole process was smooth and very spectacular.

The wooden house, which originally looked to be about 2 meters long and wide, suddenly became four times larger.

[Successfully trigger the lucky trait, synthesize the small cabin to upgrade the large cabin*2]

Huh? Upgrading the cabin can also trigger the Lucky trait. This is quite surprising.

If the triggering effect is hundreds or thousands, wouldn’t I have a palace?

Yu Miaomiao was worried that the problem of insufficient reinforcement of the wooden house would no longer exist after the house was expanded, so the outer layer of nylon expanded four times and the awning extended to the entire wooden eaves.

Yu Miaomiao, who was originally a little disappointed with the seemingly useless cabin reinforcement, suddenly felt it was worth it.

No, it’s totally worth it!

It's like getting a lot of materials for free.

The next one is the automatic small turret, and Yu Miaomiao is most looking forward to this item.

After selecting "Synthesize" after "Automatic Small Turret", the construction hammer that had originally returned to the backpack flew out again and hammered the air hard.

Although no sound was made during the whole process, she could feel that the construction hammer was hammering very hard, and sparks were coming out of the hammer head.

Five minutes later, the construction hammer disappeared and a circular shadow flew into the backpack.

Every time I synthesized non-building items before, they would automatically appear in the backpack. This time, I could even see the tail of the item's shadow.

When I opened the backpack, I saw a small gray turret-like icon inside. I tried to take it out, but only a shadow about the size of a microphone appeared in the middle of my sight, and there was no real object.

Yu Miaomiao remembered that this thing had to be installed on her own building, and she looked at the big wooden house next to her.

Where should I put it? There is nothing suitable in the house to hold it.

Then let’s go to the roof. Yu Miaomiao moved her gaze to the top of the big wooden house, and the [Confirm Installation] button immediately appeared on the phantom turret.

After confirmation, there really was a "small" turret on the top of the wooden house.

If it were any smaller, Yu Miaomiao might not be able to see it. It is probably about the size of a microphone.

It's so small, can it be useful?

Yu Miaomiao was deeply skeptical and looked at the small turret for explanation.

【Name: Automatic Small Turret (100/100)

Level: 10

Introduction: How can it not be considered a fort?

Attributes: Can automatically aim and fire at any non-friendly creature, one laser round every minute. After a full solar charge, it can fire 100 laser rounds, with each laser round having an attack power of 520.

Yes, the turret needs bullets. Yu Miaomiao was still wondering why there was no bullet synthesis formula in the system synthesis guide. Could it be that special process drawings were required to make it? It turned out to be a solar energy product.

I don’t know if the attack power of this automatic small turret 520 can penetrate the beasts at night.

Since it fires once a minute, the sandbag is used to hinder the beast from moving forward quickly.

One bag may not be enough, so Yu Miaomiao plans to make 10 bags to try the effect at night.

She has no linen now, but fortunately she got the linen making drawings in the world. Now she has to synthesize all the flax leaves into linen on the workbench.

Originally, there were only 12 pieces of linen cloth from the 24 flax leaves, but she got 20 pieces through the Lucky trait, which is a considerable gain.

When the 10th bag was synthesized, the lucky trait was finally triggered, and 2 more bags were produced. Yu Miaomiao placed a sandbag 20 meters away from the wooden house, with each bag 1 meter apart.

The sandbag was about half the height of her knee. When she stepped on it, she found the surface was very smooth, as if it had been greased.

This is a beast, it will be knocked down.

Walking back under the parasol, only one heater was left.

After clicking 'Synthesize', the construction hammer flew out again without any hesitation, spinning in the air, knocking the seven pieces of scrap iron into a cylindrical shape, and then knocking the two copper blocks into a very fine mesh of metal, and then fixed the two things with screws.

The shadow of a heater about one meter high flew into her backpack.

[System Notice: Congratulations to player Miaomiao for not lacking water and completing the novice task (4)]

【System notification: You have unlocked the ranking function. 】

[System prompt: Player Miaomiao is not short of water and ranks tenth in the internal test server competition.]

What? What's the tenth place on the unlock list?

Just as Yu Miaomiao was about to open the holographic interface to see what this ranking list was, she received four messages in a row.

"Hua Bie: Luckily you unlocked it early. As soon as you unlocked it, another one appeared. He happened to be ranked eleventh."

"Yang Haotian: Congratulations! Are you still interested in joining our Tiandihui? Three of the top ten players in the beta test are from our guild. We can provide you with abundant survival resources."

"Life's Big Winner: You're the one Lulu wants to protect, right? I heard she was so foolish she committed suicide. You've already killed one person. If you don't want to kill her other classmates, join us. Otherwise, Pi Qiyuan and Xue Ziren will be implicated by you sooner or later."

"Backhand is Six: What's your reward for tenth place?"

Seeing the message from 'Life's Big Winner', she was speechless. His sister was murdered by people from her own union and her life was in danger, but he did nothing and was still here recruiting members for the Tiandihui.

But why did he say that Lulu committed suicide? Did Lulu really encounter misfortune?

Yu Miaomiao was about to ask a question when she recalled the scene where Lulu asked her for a name change card. She felt that this big winner in life was speaking in a too leading way. She first wanted to see what this ranking was that made these people contact her at the same time.

Next to the nickname on the personal panel, there is a shining word "Rank". Click it to see all the rankings.

[Internal Test Server Competition] [Wisdom Ranking] [Physical Strength Ranking] [Agility Ranking] [Strength Ranking] [Adventure Strategy Ranking] [Monster Killing Ranking] [Plant Collection Ranking]

Wow.

Yu Miaomiao was shocked by these 8 rankings.

What on earth is this doomsday system trying to do? There are rankings of personal values, exploration, monsters, and even something related to plant collection.

I roughly clicked through each ranking list. Except for the internal test server competition and plant collection lists which were not full, the other lists had a ranking from 1 to 100. Among them, the first, second, and third place had special card drawing gift packs, the fourth to tenth place had outstanding card drawing gift packs, and the tenth to one hundredth place also had them, but they were all ordinary card drawing gift packs.

Each list has a description and a countdown to the settlement time.

Internal test server competition: The ranking will be calculated every 30 days after the first release of the list, and will be ranked according to the unlocking progress and time order of each player's system item synthesis guide.

The values ​​in the personal panel are easy to understand, with higher values ​​on top and lower values ​​on the bottom. The settlement reward is on the 23rd day, which is 24:00 on the 30th day of the Desert Birthday.

Strategy and exploration: settlement is made every 10 days, and the players are ranked according to their progress in the exploration of the area.

Monster Killing: Result is settled every 10 days, and players are ranked based on the number of monsters killed. If multiple players participate in killing a single monster, the last player who causes fatal damage will be considered the killer.

Plant collection: Settlement is made every 10 days, and the player is ranked based on the number of special quality plants he has collected in the past.

There is a [Worship] button under each ranking. You need to scroll down the entire ranking progress bar from top to bottom before you can click it. After clicking to worship all 8 rankings, you can get 1 piece of slime.

This was essentially a free gift, so Yu Miaomiao of course immediately "worshipped" each ranking, and the button immediately turned gray, indicating that the next clickable time would be 10 days later.

This means that when the settlement is made, all survivors will come to worship the greats on the list.

There were several lists, and Yu Miaomiao quickly scanned them to see where she ranked.

Where her name appeared, the font would be darker, making it easy to recognize. She only saw her nickname in the beta server competition list where she ranked tenth and in the monster kill list where she ranked 36th to 41st.

If I think about it carefully, there shouldn't be 41 that I killed by myself. I guess those killed by the traps she set are also counted in.

Yu Miaomiao was a little frustrated that her nickname was not on the personal numerical ranking list. Although she guessed that this would be the result, when she really knew it, she realized the gap between herself and others.

Looking at the competition in the beta server, the person who ranked eleventh below him was a "backhand six". No wonder he was so concerned about what she, who ranked tenth, got.

Yu Miaomiao was deeply impressed by him. He was the one who said on the first day that he had traded human flesh with others. Seeing that he was able to unlock this new function so quickly, he must have found some good way to survive.

Speaking of rewards, Yu Miaomiao knew that the cunning system would definitely not send them directly to her backpack, so she had to claim them herself.
