Chapter 69: Desert Survival Day 9 (12) Recovering Losses, But...

There were several messages in the temporary private chat column, and Yu Miaomiao first looked at the one based on integrity.

"Integrity is the foundation: I don't know if you're a boy or a girl. If you're a boy, I have a pack of cigarettes for you as a welcome gift. If you're a girl, I have a travel skincare set for you, plus 10 slime packs and a burst rifle magazine as an apology. Is that okay? I can trade all of these to you in advance, as long as you're willing to let me in. And once you're in, I can also give you some other weapons and resources to support our joint operations."

wrong.

Something is wrong.

Cigarettes, she had never seen anyone offer cigarettes, but she had seen people in the world asking for them for a long time without receiving any. There were even people who were addicted to smoking and were willing to exchange bandages for a pack of cigarettes.

Moreover, she had read in the recruitment post of the Tiandihui that a cigarette was an additional benefit for their senior executives or special talents for a month. How could he give her such a precious thing?

Could it be that he wanted to test her?

"Meow Meow: Don't worry if I'm a boy or a girl. Since you've said so, give me the cigarettes and the entire travel skincare set. I'm still fighting monsters. Hurry and trade with me. Don't leave anything behind. Let me see your sincerity. No more waiting."

She would not give this man a chance to test the waters. Since he proposed it, she would not make a choice and would take it all.

The other party must have been afraid that Yu Miaomiao would go back on her word, so he immediately sent her a transaction request.

After receiving the goods, she carefully read the descriptions of the items in the backpack column and made sure that there was no problem before taking them out to look at the two items. They were indeed a pack of cigarettes and a set of skin care products.

It's just that there are two cigarettes missing from this pack and half of the skin care products have been used.

Just as she had guessed at the beginning, it was taken from someone else, perhaps more than one person.

The pack of cigarettes had been opened and two of them had been used, indicating that the owner was a smoker, or even addicted. She didn't believe that a smoker would be willing to give away such a precious and non-producible material in the end times as a gift to someone else so easily.

Especially those who are honest and trustworthy.

Assuming that Chengxinweiben doesn't smoke, there is no reason for him to exchange a bandage for a pack of cigarettes, so there is no other possibility except that he stole it from someone else.

Moreover, the skin care products in this pack are all brands that girls love. It is not that Yu Miaomiao thinks that "integrity is the basis" must be for men or they don't like to use them, but this practice is no different from trading cigarettes.

So honesty is the basis, and one should kill people and steal these things from others.

Thinking of this, she felt a little angry. It seemed that this bastard was not only a liar, but also a murderer and looter. He was really a bad guy.

"Integrity is the foundation: Have you received the things? If you think my sincerity is enough, I will give you the rest of the good things first. Can you let me in?"

Now that the settlement is approaching, he dare not apply rashly. If he is rejected again, and has to wait an hour to apply again, he is afraid that there will not be much time left for him.

"Meow Meow: Got it, but the more I think about you lying to me, the more uncomfortable I feel. What you said isn't enough to appease my dissatisfaction. Please see if you have any other good things, or more things, otherwise don't bother me for now."

The other party answered two minutes late, and Yu Miaomiao took this opportunity to browse the rankings.

"Integrity is the foundation: Okay, okay, don't be angry first. I know you are quite capable and you don't think highly of my little stuff. Let me see if I have anything else that's good."

Why should I watch it? Could it be that he wants to cheat me out of something and give it to me again like before?

Or, he was actually collecting information about himself, otherwise how could he say "quite capable"?

Now she couldn't care less and looked at the message from the second person.

"Ahhh: Are you here? You don't keep your word, do you? I've already given you slime, why don't you come out? I see your ranking has improved again. Don't be so shameless, I'll make you pay for it."

Yu Miaomiao discovered that the big winners in life like to make harsh remarks and do things that they think are very smart and awesome. The people who follow him are the same. It turns out that they are birds of a feather.

Moreover, she has not received any new application to enter the Big Winner of Life. Because Yu Miaomiao saw that some people's rankings were still improving, she guessed that he had not yet dealt with all the people in the expedition area and was afraid that his application would be rejected again, and he would not have time to improve his progress.

"Meow Meow is not short of water: Do you want everyone in the expedition zone to leave, or do you want to prevent all survivors from entering the expedition zone? There are so many expedition zones, are you going to occupy them all?"

Since he is the same type of person as the big winner in life, he must not be very smart, so Yu Miaomiao made misleading remarks.

She has been stuck at 3% for a long time. Normal people have either left or increased it to 4% long ago. Only she is the most careful one who collects the most complete information possible. Because Yu Miaomiao is very clear about her combat ability and the situation behind the oasis, she was well prepared and set a goal before coming this time.

"Ahhh: Don't talk nonsense. We in the Tiandihui are upright and honest. We do this for the good of all survivors. Our President Yang has been kindly collecting guides to help everyone from the very beginning. This is obvious to everyone. If it's not you, then it's not you. Don't look for trouble. Just behave yourself after taking the slime and don't go out and talk nonsense."

Yu Miaomiao found this passage a little funny. This person even brought up Yang Haotian. He didn't think she was afraid of their President Yang, did he?

As expected, he was a brainless guy. From his words, she could tell that the big winner in life was just waiting, waiting to see who would occupy his adventure site.

Fortunately, there are still a few survivors who are not threatened like her, so she can hold on for a while longer.

The third private message was something she hadn't expected.

"Hua Bie: I see you've been stuck for quite some time. Are you having any trouble? Do you need any weapon support?"

Although Yu Miaomiao was recalling what he said about the oasis all the way, she subconsciously forgot about this person. Only then did she remember that she wanted to give him one-tenth of the expedition supplies.

"Meow Meow is not short of water: I do need it. Do you know the cuckoo bird? It's the one that makes the lake rise when you kill two of them."

"Hua Bie: Two? I remember only one. I got the paraglider from that treasure chest. This cuckoo bird is different from the guardian monsters on other side roads. Even if their guardian awareness is triggered, no patrol monsters will come. I was wondering at the time, is this side road too narrow for the patrol monsters to pass through? Is there something wrong with this bird?"

One? This system really gave her some luck, two at once.

"Meow Meow is Not Short of Water: Didn't you notice this bird can't sing? Because it can't sing, it won't attract patrolling monsters. I found that I can't hit it with a bow and arrow, and it would be even more difficult to hit it with a shotgun, so I want to ask what weapon you used to kill it."

"Hua Bie: Really? I wasn't paying much attention. Now that you mention it, it seems that except for patrol monsters and branch guard monsters, other monsters don't make any noise. I was so focused on killing them at the time that I didn't realize this. You're really attentive. When I killed the cuckoo bird, I thought I struck it too quickly, so it didn't have time to make a sound. I was very close to it when I used my knife to cut it. I have two knives here. Why don't you try them out and see which one works better?"

"Hua Bie: By the way, it doesn't matter how you kill the bird, but be careful, once you open the treasure chest on the treetop, this exploration area will be abandoned and your exploration will have to end."

Many adventure sites will self-destruct after triggering some special mechanisms. For example, when the treasure chest on the top of the cuckoo tree is opened, the lake water will spread and all creatures will be eaten by the cunning catfish. When they have nothing left to eat, they will kill each other. Finally, the adventure site will disappear, and then a new adventure site of the same type will appear.

The other party sent two messages in succession and gave her a friendly reminder. Yu Miaomiao had a better impression of him. Thinking about what she had gained along the way, it was indeed thanks to his previous detailed strategy information, so she no longer behaved as distant as before.

"Meow Meow is not short of water: You don't usually watch TV dramas, so you don't know the joke about Baojuan. If it's convenient for you, please lend me your knife."

"Hua Bie: I really don't watch it much. I don't know a lot of the popular internet memes. As expected, the more you watch, the more you can find loopholes in the adventure."

Well, Yu Miaomiao never thought that one day, she would be praised for watching so many TV dramas. After accepting the two knives, she took out one of them.

A long sword, the name of the item is "horizontal sword", similar to the long swords seen in martial arts TV dramas. When the sword was unscabbarded, the blade was very sharp. She stood in the middle of the tree and tried to dance. A short air flow sound was heard in the air, and a branch as thick as an arm was immediately cut off by the sword.

The knife is good, fast and sharp, and the blade is light, so she uses it effortlessly. As the saying goes, if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. With this thing, she can cut anything without any effort.

The other one was called the 'Yanyue Sword'. She was shocked when she took it out. The sword, nearly a meter long, was difficult to hold in her hand, and the tip of the sword hit the tree trunk next to her.

The handle of the knife is very long, with a ring at the end. There is a cloth strip on the ring, which is stained with blood. He must have killed many monsters with this knife. The cloth strip seems to be wrapped around his wrist to prevent it from falling off.

The blade was very heavy, with a crescent-shaped blade and a very thick back. Although the blade looked sharp, she had no space to wield it in the tree. However, it must have been able to cut through iron like mud, but it was not suitable for her.

It should be no problem to kill those two birds with a horizontal sword.

She had already torn off the bandage on her calf. The blood had already stained the entire bandage and was even flowing out. She had not expected that the originally small blood hole would unknowingly turn into a hole. Medical supplies could not be saved at this time.

Yu Miaomiao used a primary medical kit and a spray bottle to quickly spray the wound on her calf. After fixing it with a new bandage twice, she prepared to climb to the top of the tree again.

Perhaps it was because of the energy drink she drank, or perhaps it was because she was thinking that as long as she finished climbing this section, she could rest, she climbed very quickly, twice as fast as before.

As soon as she reached the top of the tree, she heard the sound of a new system sending a message. She probably guessed who it was. After she killed the two, she would go and finish the rest of the things.

As soon as she climbed out of the net and showed her head, a bird began to flap its wings vigorously, trying to drive her out as an intruder.
