The talent was used, the dice spun, and the number landed on seven.
The original 500 portions of Scorpion Tail were doubled to 3700 portions.
Yan Zi immediately took out 1,000 copies and exchanged them directly with the Emperor's Kingdom.
It's only the size of a palm.
Item: Cactus meat
[Function: A special product that grows in the Dark Night Blue Elf Forest. Long-term consumption can enhance resistance and it is also the preferred fusion material for some special potions.]
After reading the information above, Yan Zi couldn't help but be somewhat surprised.
"So this thing has special effects, but this small piece probably won't add much."
She went to the Heavenly Kingdom again, wanting to continue the exchange, but the price had actually doubled!
Yan Zi: "Didn't we agree on 1000 servings for 1 yuan each?"
Heavenly Kingdom: "That was the price the first time; the price must double for the second time. Cactus flesh isn't easy to obtain!"
Yan Zi was completely numb after reading the message he sent!
This is simply taking advantage of someone's misfortune!
She hesitated for a moment, then decided not to exchange with him anymore and instead searched the channel to find other people selling it.
This search revealed that many people had set their prices between 1000 and 1500.
Moreover, it seems to be a rule that if you buy it once, the price will double the amount the second time.
Yan Zi searched several places and finally managed to gather four pieces of cactus meat, costing a total of more than 4,000 parts, and also used other materials to make up the difference.
After tidying up, Yan Zi decided to rest.
Before going to bed, she used the remaining three talent points on cactus meat, chilled watermelon, and mosquito repellent patches...
They were thrown at 7, 6, 3...
At night, the wind in the desert area became even stronger, with sand flying everywhere. Anyone walking outside would likely be buried halfway into a sand dune.
Yan Zi had gone to sleep early and was unaware that the surrounding sand dunes seemed to have some kind of pulsating effect...
She slept very well that night!
...
Having slept without dreams, Yan Zi woke up early the next morning and heard the system's announcement first thing in the morning:
[Ding! Congratulations on successfully surviving day eight! Hopefully, you've all adapted to your new lives. The regional merger has brought you a different experience, and we will gradually unlock various resources within the region. We hope you'll earn as much gold as possible. A caravan will be passing through in three days; perhaps you'll encounter some unexpected opportunities?]
[Surprise Landing: A blue treasure chest will drop 10 kilometers away from you. The chest will sink deeper into the ground over time, and you might find a new skill inside!]
Today's weather forecast: No wind!
After the system broadcast ended, Yan Zi was fully awake. She packed her things, ate some dry food to fill her stomach, and then followed the direction it indicated, staring at a blue treasure chest falling from the sky.
The blue treasure chest slowly descended, and Yan Zi stared intently at that spot, quickly moving in that direction.
With the boost of 20 points, she ran very fast and arrived at her destination in less than an hour.
The blue treasure chest had slowly fallen into the sand, revealing only a blue pointed tip. The entire chest was now buried in the sand; if she hadn't run fast, she probably wouldn't have even seen its shadow.
Yan Zi immediately ran over there and stopped it before it sank into the ground...
Touching the treasure chest revealed a blue one. After hesitating for a moment, she positioned herself and let the blue treasure chest sink straight into the ground.
Nearly half an hour later, she finally picked up a shovel and dug open the blue treasure chest that was buried deep in the ground.
They dug up something that didn't look quite like it.
Yan Zi looked closely and noticed that the label had changed: [Hint: Blue Sand Treasure Chest. Open it, and you may gain special abilities.]
Yan Zi was overjoyed and stepped forward to open it, then suddenly pulled away.
As expected, the moment the Blue Sand Treasure Chest was opened, it turned into a blue-golden light, and at the same time, many level 2 or higher Sand Scorpions rose from the ground!
When Yan Zi saw these sand scorpions, which were twice the size of the first-level ones, she couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine, because their forelimbs were truly astonishingly large, even larger than their bodies.
She took a deep breath, raised two military shovels, and slammed them hard into the ground.
Fortunately, although the level 2 sand scorpion is faster, its physique is not very strong. With a strength bonus of 20 points, it can be cleaved in two in no time.
In less than ten minutes, she had captured all of the hundreds of level-two sand scorpions.
She counted the materials that had fallen from their bodies and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Out of a total of 136, only 30 materials were obtained!
In particular, the drop rate of materials from them is incredibly low!
Aside from being at level two, there are no other benefits.
After Yan Zi put everything away, she picked up a ball-like object that had fallen next to the Blue Sand Treasure Chest.
[Item: Probe Sphere (E)]
[Function: This is a great item that can detect objects up to 3 meters underground. Simply feed it the appropriate materials, and it will directly reveal the location of the item you want.]
Upon seeing the description above, Yan Zi couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Although she didn't get the skill she wanted, she did get something she desperately needed offline.
With this, why worry about not finding more resources?
Yan Zi immediately took action!
The first step was to feed the probe ball with sand scorpions. It took a full ten portions of material to make it glow.
With the help of the probe ball, she quickly found a new location, then went to several other locations to drive stakes, and soon locked onto a specific spot for clearing.
Another full day passed, and Yan Zi found 10 White Sand Treasure Chests. In one of them, she killed more than 2,000 level 1 Sand Scorpions and obtained 1,000 scorpion tails, 200 scorpion tail stings, and 1,300 scorpion meat.
The 10 White Sand Treasure Chests yielded several map exploration zones, all of which were resource areas.
Yan Zi was filled with excitement. As long as she could find a means of transportation, she could begin her adventure.
In addition to the resource points, Yan Zi also obtained a special item.
Named: Frozen Lettuce!
The name was familiar, and the results pleased her greatly!
【Item: Frozen Lettuce (F)】
[Function: A head of lettuce that has been frozen solid will automatically hatch if placed in a safe area, thus having a cooling effect.]
Yan Zi was delighted to see it; it was truly a wonderful thing. Her shelter was already unusable due to the lack of water in the desert, but now that she had the frozen lettuce, perhaps she could still make use of it.
Yan Zi immediately placed it in her palm, feeling its cool temperature.
Putting everything else aside, holding it in your palm is like holding a bottle of water or a can of cola taken out of the refrigerator; your palm is cool, and it emits a chill when placed in front of you.
Even being able to bring a frozen lettuce into the desert made Yan Zi feel quite happy!
She raised her hand and doubled it again, using her talent. The dice spun, and the number stopped at six.
Yan Zi put all six remaining frozen lettuce heads into her backpack, only holding one in her palm as she wandered around looking for a place to rest for the night.
