Jiang An stared intently at the information on the regional channel, his eyes focused and serious.
Suddenly, she noticed a player's comment and felt that this might be the most accurate analysis.
The player said, "This wooden bowl looks like it was handmade with a sharp tool. Judging from the degree of decay, it should be between one and two years old. In addition, the tree is about five years old."
Another player quickly added, "The person upstairs is right, but I personally think the wooden bowl's time should be closer to now, because we also need to consider external environmental factors."
For example, it was affected by natural conditions such as wind, sun, and rain, so the timeframe should be pushed back by at least six months.
The first player agreed, saying, "The person upstairs is right. I didn't fully consider these factors."
At this moment, someone asked Jiang An, "Young friend Jiang An, did you find any signs of human activity on that island?"
Jiang An happened to see the message and immediately replied, "Due to time constraints, I have only explored half of the island so far and have not yet found any other obvious traces. I will expand the area tomorrow for further exploration!"
"We must explore this thoroughly and accurately. This is the first time that our District 2333 has discovered the presence of other humans on the island, which is of great significance."
This statement sparked a heated discussion, with many commenting, "It seems someone has been to this place before, but it's still uncertain whether it was a player."
... ...
The entire regional channel instantly became incredibly lively, with players enthusiastically engaging in heated discussions and offering a plethora of guesses.
Jiang An took out the treasure chests he had collected on the island that day from his backpack; there were a total of 5 treasure chests.
There are two copper boxes and three iron boxes.
Not all wild beasts will drop treasure chests when they are killed; it also depends a lot on their strength in life, but there is also a great deal of chance involved.
Jiang An still hasn't figured out the underlying principle!
She rubbed her hands together, and then came the most exciting moment. This was her first time opening the tung tree box, and she wondered what kind of surprise it would bring her.
She opened the first bronze box first.
[Dungeon Token, Lucky Stone.]
[Dungeon Orders: Once all orders are collected, the dungeon will officially begin. The dungeon difficulty varies, and teammates will be randomly assigned. Five players will work together to clear the dungeon. If a teammate dies, the mission fails. If the entire team survives and clears the dungeon, they will receive generous rewards.]
[Note: Non-transferable!]
Those few simple words were like a bolt from the blue, completely destroying the last glimmer of hope in her heart.
Jiang An gripped the token tightly in his hand, his gaze fixed on the four characters, a complex emotion welling up in his heart.
She knew that this instance meant she was about to step into a more challenging world, but at the same time, it also brought more unknowns and risks.
She clearly realized that in order to successfully complete this instance, she would have to rely on the strength of the team.
However, in this world full of competition and conflicting interests, everyone has their own selfish motives.
The disparity in strength, the differences in personality, and the intertwining of various conflicts make teamwork extremely difficult.
Faced with such a severe situation, ensuring the safety of the team became a huge challenge.
Moreover, the lack of a clear definition of the penalty for failing the copy cast a shadow over Jiang Anxin's mind.
Perhaps it was losing something precious, or perhaps it was facing death directly... all these possibilities filled her with fear.
At this moment, Jiang An was caught in a dilemma, unable to determine whether obtaining this dungeon token was a good thing or a bad thing.
She wondered to herself if it would have been better if she hadn't obtained the dungeon token.
After all, this way, she wouldn't have to bear such heavy pressure.
However, the facts were already laid bare, and she had no choice but to accept them.
She understood that the instance could open at any time in the days to come.
Therefore, she must make full preparations and continuously improve her strength to deal with possible dungeon missions.
Time passed second by second, and the instance could open at any moment.
Jiang An took a deep breath, trying to calm her inner unease.
She told herself that whatever awaited her ahead, she would face it bravely.
Only in this way could she possibly survive in this cruel world.
Jiang An carefully put the dungeon token into her backpack, then turned her attention to the next item.
It was a stone that emitted a mysterious light, as if it contained endless power and secrets.
She gently picked up the stone and examined it closely. She saw two words engraved on it: "Lucky".
"A lucky stone?" Jiang An's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly checked its attributes.
[Lucky Stone: Wearing it will increase your luck stat by one point!]
"Wow, it's such a treasure!" Jiang An exclaimed in surprise the moment he saw the entry.
Although it was just a small, bare stone with no holes for her to wear, that didn't diminish her love for it.
She put the lucky stone directly into the small pocket around her neck where she kept a water-repelling bead.
In any case, neither of these items is very large, so putting them together won't take up too much space.
Moreover, carrying these precious treasures with you makes them very convenient to use whenever needed.
Jiang An thought it was a good idea, so he immediately put it into action.
She took out her needle and thread, sewed the small purse tightly again, and replaced the string with a new one to ensure it wouldn't break easily.
After completing these steps, Jiang An felt relieved and put the small purse back around her neck.
After dealing with the lucky stone, Jiang An began to look forward to the reward in the second bronze box.
She couldn't wait to open the box, hoping to find more surprises.
[Primary protective shield!]
[Upon use, a protective shield will form upon being attacked. It has 100% energy; the shield's function disappears when the energy is depleted and must be replenished using energy stones!]
This is like sending charcoal in snowy weather! For Jiang An right now, this is undoubtedly a very important treasure.
She had to leave the steamship every day to find food and resources, and the steamship left at sea became an easy target for marine life.
The steamship was her only refuge, and if it were damaged or unable to sail, it would bring her great disaster.
"Use it!" Jiang An shouted without hesitation.
【Please select the primary protection shield range?】
Jiang An directly chose a steamship.
There is no place more suitable than a ship.
[Ding! Successful use! Location: Steamship!]
[Ding! The primary energy shield currently has 100% energy. Each energy stone will increase the shield's energy by 5%!]
In an instant, the mysterious stone in Jiang An's hand emitted a dazzling light, and then disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, an invisible force enveloped the steamship, as if it were wearing an indestructible armor.
From then on, the steamship was safe, and she no longer had to fear attacks on the ship.
