—Thump!
—Thump!
The second and third sounds followed in quick succession.
Xia Ning's body trembled. Could it be that hail was falling in the rainforest? Was the weather really this abnormal?!
Xia Ning's surprise didn't last long; the system's megaphone provided her with the answer.
—【Phantom Princess's Tricycle】caused 【Ordinary Parrot】x2 and 【Ordinary Hummingbird】x1 to lose their way.
— [Two ordinary parrots] and [one ordinary hummingbird] crashed into the carriage and died.
—Phantom Princess has obtained [Colorful Feather x3]
—Phantom Princess gains 3 survival points
Xia Ning: !!!
She vaguely remembered reading in a science article that birds have a keen ability to perceive color in order to distinguish the freshness and ripeness of food.
She glanced at her brightly colored tricycle again and suddenly felt that maybe, perhaps, possibly, maybe, MAYBE she had a chance to complete the timed mission.
What's this called, waiting for birds to fly in front of a car?
Xia Ning was overjoyed. She knew her car was no ordinary vehicle. Look how quickly the reward came!
With the extra reward, cycling became less painful.
As Xia Ning rode forward, she called her older sister to ask if she had received the limited-time mission.
The answer is yes.
Ji Li's mission is exactly the same as Xia Ning's, and she is also not allowed to venture into the dense forest.
It wasn't until 4:30 PM that Xia Ning encountered another white resource box, but the good news was that she had completed 3/10 of her mission.
Xia Ning didn't know if she could collect 10 unlucky birds within 6 hours, and she wondered if she should make the car even uglier.
Unfortunately, it seems that the ugly aspects of the tricycle are really limited. After -31, it's difficult to make it ugly with external textures.
At 6 PM, Xia Ning seemed to encounter her second blue resource box in her life.
Why do I say "suspected"? Because this time, what was hiding behind the box wasn't a large lizard, but rather a dense swarm of insects and flies.
"Oh no!"
Xia Ning leaned back tactically.
In summer, one mosquito flying into the room is bad enough, but here there are so many, so many!!!
Goosebumps erupted all at once; if you gave her a choice, she'd rather face the giant lizard.
Compared to large animals, Xia Ning is more afraid of these small insects. If she had to choose between a wild bear and a hundred mosquitoes, she would choose the bear one hundred percent!
In fact, the biggest threat to humans in the rainforest comes from tiny insects like mosquitoes. They are ubiquitous and carry countless diseases. In the extremely rudimentary environment, each of these diseases can be fatal.
Hearing the surround sound of the buzzing in her ears, Xia Ning pulled the gauze curtains closed and quickly put on a mask and goggles, completely covering her skin like a beekeeper.
Within two minutes, she started sweating. It was definitely hot and humid, but it was better than being bitten by poisonous mosquitoes. She could just treat it as a sauna to get rid of the dampness in her body.
Fully armed, Xia Ning took out a powerful insecticide and sprayed it wildly at the wooden treasure chest that resembled a summer trash can.
—Congratulations, player Phantom Princess has killed 100 [Flies]!
—Phantom Princess gains 2 survival points
Thankfully, no flying insect specimens fell into her backpack, otherwise Xia Ning's sanity would have plummeted.
Wait, 50 [flies] = 1 survival point.
Looking at the much cleaner wooden treasure chest in the sky, Xia Ning had a brilliant idea pop into her mind.
Who says you have to go through jungle exploration to fight monsters?
Xia Ning has also played large-scale online games. Generally speaking, as long as you don't trigger key plot points, you can keep grinding monsters.
In survival games, the key plot element is naturally opening treasure chests.
Therefore, Xia Ning did not rush to open the treasure chest, but instead revealed a strange smile.
"Go, [Spoiled Milk]!"
The rotten milk, reeking of decay, was poured out, and soon the buzzing sound returned.
At this moment, the flies, which are the embodiment of the survival points, are no longer repulsive, but even somewhat cute.
As the ancients said, "There is no such thing as trash in the world, only treasures in the wrong place." (Note)
You're absolutely right!
—Congratulations, player Phantom Princess has killed 50 [Flies]!
—Phantom Princess gains 1 survival point
Ugh, this is no good, it's spoiled milk.
Okay, it's decided, you're next.
"Go, get the pot-washing water!"
—Congratulations, player Phantom Princess has killed 50 [Flies]!
—Phantom Princess gains 1 survival point
"Go on, food waste!"
—Congratulations, player Phantom Princess has killed 50 [Flies]!
—Phantom Princess gains 1 survival point
...
Half an hour later.
Xia Ning put the successfully sprayed insecticide cans back into her spatial storage.
The wooden treasure chest, soaked in a mixture of various liquids, looked as if it were vomit. Xia Ning herself had to stuff two deodorant pills into her mask to barely get through it.
The junk I'd accumulated over the past two days—no, the misplaced treasure—has been completely squandered.
At 6:35 PM, Xia Ning's timed mission was completed.
Xia Ning clicked to claim the reward, and 10 survival points and 1 power recharge card were instantly credited to her account.
She had saved enough money for a name change card, but she wasn't about to waste the points she had worked so hard to earn on a name change.
Xia Ning felt that she had made peace with the "Phantom Princess". Look how suitable the homonym "Fly-Killing Princess" is for her!
So what if you're thick-skinned? Girls with thick skin are less likely to suffer losses.
Xia Ning's life principles are so flexible.
Considering her bad luck, Xia Ning lit a mosquito coil and carefully rubbed her hands with hand sanitizer before using the [Power Recharge Card].
"Namo Amitabha Buddha, Mommy Mommy, please bless me to get 9 attribute points."
"The believer wishes to eat a vegetarian meal."
Amen.
After clasping her hands together and making the sign of the cross in front of her chest, Xia Ning, with a mix of trepidation and excitement, clicked "Use," and then—
There are no special effects.
— Player Phantom Princess used the [Power Recharge Card] to gain 2 defense points.
Xia Ning: "..."
She knew that people could only rely on themselves!
Xia Ning was so angry that she swallowed a large piece of braised beef on the spot, habitually splashing the sauce onto the open-air trash can... oh no, next to the treasure chest.
--bite!
—Congratulations, player Phantom Princess has defeated a Level 2 Mimic!
—Phantom Princess gains 20 survival points
Xia Ning: WHAT?!
Xia Ning: PARDON?!
Xia Ning: Excuse me?!
Isn't this wooden crate supposed to be a blue resource crate? Is there a monster hidden inside?!
Hey treasure chest monster, talk to me! How did you die? Were you suffocated to death by the fumes?!
Or were they poisoned to death by spoiled milk, dish soap water, and mouthwash?!
