[Ding—Safe house has been refreshed. Please open the map to check.]
The safe house refreshed precisely at 7 o'clock. Xiao Jin quickly opened the map. She only had one hour. If she couldn't find a safe house within this hour, she would have to find a way to get through the 8 o'clock downpour on her own.
After glancing at the map, I realized that time was running out based on the distance, so I figured I'd have to use my items and skills.
Having determined the direction, Xiao Jin activated Soul Hunting, and then his figure vanished in a flash.
This time, Xiao Jin used all her strength. Even when she saw the conspicuous resource box, she ignored it and ran with her head down.
Finally, with ten minutes to go, Xiao Jin found the nearest safe house.
This safe house was quite interesting; it was actually a small boat. A long boardwalk extended from the lakeside into the water, and at the end there was a boat that was seven meters long and two meters wide. The boat looked a bit old, and inside there was a small shed with cloth covering both sides.
Xiao Jin stepped forward, and upon seeing the state of the boat, his lips twitched involuntarily.
This ship... is so dilapidated!
I thought the conditions in the small tent in the desert were already terrible, but I didn't expect there to be something even worse. The wooden planks were covered with the marks of time and layers of dust.
Xiao Jin jumped onto the boat, which swayed gently under the force of gravity. She lifted the tattered curtain in front, which barely covered the door.
Sure enough, it was empty inside. Nothing was prepared except for the old wooden system. Xiao Jin rolled her eyes.
Fortunately, the space inside is quite large.
It's about three meters long, and after deducting the sleeping area, there's still enough space for Xiao Jin to set up a small low table.
Passing through the small shed, Xiao Jin lifted the curtain to the other side and successfully found the resource box at the foot of the boat.
After taking the boxes away, her next task was to tidy up the space inside the ship.
The exposed areas outside can be ignored; the focus is on the inside of the shed. Xiao Jin wanted to throw away the two tattered, drafty pieces of cloth, but since this was within the safe house area, he couldn't destroy them.
Xiao Jin decided to avoid seeing it and getting annoyed. She first rolled up the curtain and secured it, then took out two pieces of waterproof cloth from her own space and hung them on the door.
At night, it first takes down the original outer curtain, and then there is another layer of its own curtain inside, which provides both security and warmth.
Xiao Jin wiped the dust out of the small shed, laid out a moisture-proof mat as a base, then covered it with a blanket, and finally put in pillows and quilts. No electricity didn't matter; she just stuffed in a few hot water bottles that she had filled beforehand, and the quilts were still warm.
Xiao Jin cleared out the space near his feet and placed a small table there. It was while tidying up the room that Xiao Jin discovered the candles and candlesticks that had been thrown into the corner.
Good heavens, it feels like we've been transported back to ancient times in the blink of an eye, and we even have to use candles. But we can't go without them; the safe house needs to be well-lit. The candles the system provided aren't ideal, but according to the system's mechanics, they shouldn't suddenly go out or burn out.
In other words, Xiao Jin doesn't have to worry about waking up in the middle of the night and suddenly finding herself face to face with a mutated beast.
Just as she finished tidying up, it started raining outside. Xiao Jin lifted the curtain and looked out, only to find that rain was falling on the boat ahead, but the rainwater disappeared instantly after hitting the wooden planks.
Okay, then there's no need to worry about getting flooded.
Ten minutes later.
Xiao Jin generously hung up all the curtains in front of her, revealing a wide lake in the distance. She enjoyed the waterfall-like rain scene outside while sitting at a small table and having hot pot.
To match the occasion, Xiao Jin even brought out a small copper stove, the charcoal underneath burning hot, the broth a lamb spine soup base. She picked up a piece of the cooked mutated venison with her chopsticks, then coated it with the prepared 28 sauce.
As Xiao Jin put the meat in her mouth, she squinted her eyes happily. The meat was delicious, the sauce was just right, and then she took a sip of fruit beer. It was simply wonderful.
Xiao Jin wasn't in a hurry and ate slowly.
The water level around them was rising visibly, and although the small boat was rocking a bit, Xiao Jin inside felt nothing at all.
In the distance, raging floodwaters surged down from the heights, instantly engulfing the rainforest in front of them.
After eating and drinking to her heart's content, Xiao Jin quickly washed up and then threw herself into bed. After lazing around for a while, she remembered that she hadn't opened the box she had received that afternoon, so she quickly sat up again.
Large resource box *1 (mutant crocodile), medium resource box *1 (safe house), small resource box *5.
Xiao Jin discovered that the later the game went, the more resource boxes she collected. Not counting those from the morning, Shao Siyuan and the others had contributed 1200 points to her.
First, open the medium and small ones.
[Congratulations to the player for receiving: 250 points, damage reduction bracers, peach wood sword, 3 memory insect eggs, steel long axe, 5 explosive arrows, 2 sleep fruits, 6 grapefruit juices (500ml each), a nut gift pack, sweet and sour fish, chopped pepper fish head, spicy river crab, 3 lotus seeds (500g each), bamboo pole, lipstick, and a set of pure prison style pajamas.]
Wristbands that prevent injury
Grade: Purple
Type: Defense
Skill:
1. Wearing this item reduces the reaction force on the wrist when using weapons, and also increases Strength by 3 and Defense by 2.
2. Can generate a quantum protective shield to resist attacks from enemies and reflect 20% of the damage, lasting for 5 minutes, with a one-hour cooldown.
This time, Xiao Jin only got one purple item. She had the [Sand Guardian] wristband before, but compared to the [Damage Reduction Wristband], Xiao Jin still preferred the latter. Therefore, she decisively switched to the new item.
The Peach Wood Sword deals bonus damage to supernatural creatures, but it's not currently useful in this world. The Memory Worm Egg is special; consuming it temporarily enhances memory.
Xiao Jin's memory was already quite good, so this prop was somewhat of a waste.
[Explosive Arrow] can only be used in conjunction with a bow-type item. Ordinary industrial longbows cannot fire the arrow. The [Dawn Bow] that Xiao Jin used before just meets the usage criteria. The arrow has an explosive effect. We'll have to wait for actual combat to know the specifics.
Finally, there's the [Sleep-Sleep Fruit]. As the name suggests, this thing has the effect of making people fall asleep. Xiao Jin even saw a line of text under the description of the [Sleep-Sleep Fruit].
[Note: This item is only effective against psychics below Tier 2.]
Upon seeing this, Xiao Jincai realized that psionicists are actually immune to some of the damage from items!
After packing up his things, Xiao Jin looked at the string of fish behind him and found it amusing. Could it be that the contents of the box were related to where the box was opened?
As for the things that changed drastically later on, Xiao Jin chose to ignore them.
She washed her hands and was almost ready to burn incense and pray, hoping that the contents of this large resource box wouldn't disappoint her.
