Luck and misfortune



In the afternoon, Xia Ning completed the timed challenge and obtained 50 survival points and a [Storm Predictor].

Xia Ning didn't care where her younger sister, who had been injured by the shark meat, had gone and continued her ark-building project.

She retrieved metal fragments left behind by the highway patrol from the supermarket, and added rusty nails to reinforce the wooden planks.

In this way, the raft completed the magnificent transformation of the ark's bottom.

She then used vehicle parts and planks to build the second-floor frame.

The second-floor floor is actually the deck of the future.

Xia Ning ran out of planks when she was halfway through laying them on the second floor. Looking at her battle-damaged ark, she thought she could cosplay as a ghost ship.

【The Ark of the Phantom Princess】

Defense Value: 15

Attack Value: 3

Alas, it's a pity there's no good looks to enhance it.

Xia Ning disagreed. Her ship was sure to intimidate other players at first glance; it looked like it could even inflict mental attacks.

As night fell, Xia Ning cast her fishing net into the water, and another ordinary day passed.

Xia Ning's first task every day after waking up is to take a career test.

—Crafting failed, obtained [Rotten Antidote] x1

—After use, the target object will enter a weakened state for one hour.

—Player Phantom Princess's pharmaceutical talent ↓, poison-making talent ↑.

Xia Ning was not convinced, not even a thousand times more convinced!

One success and one failure should cancel each other out, so why is she still leaning towards poison?

She's not the one who's poisonous, the system is!

Xia Ning then checked the fishing net. Overnight, she found two small fish and a few pieces of seaweed inside.

Something is better than nothing, I'll take it.

Xia Ning looked at her leaky little boat, adjusted the sail, and realized that it would take forever to build a boat by collecting wooden barrels. She still had to go to the island to cut down trees.

The system is already rewarding users with a [Storm Predictor], so how far away can a storm be!

If you find a large island, you can hide in a cave.

Xia Ning's equipment is actually quite complete. She had already thought about the dungeons she might face in the future when she was in the disaster city.

So her supermarket has thermometers, barometers, compasses...

Unfortunately, this was clearly not Earth, nor was it the planet where the disaster city was located, so the various maps in Xia Ning's hands were completely useless.

She could only rely on luck to see if she could drift to the vicinity of a large island.

As it turns out, Xia Ning wasn't very lucky, but the foreign aid was quite helpful.

Although her younger sister refused to continue "carrying the burden," with her sister leading the way, Xia Ning actually saw a large island.

The surging waves crashed against the jagged, craggy rocks.

Xia Ning turned the boat around and circled around for a while before finding a shallow beach where she could land.

She shook her sore arms and jumped into the sea, having completed her daily workout.

Xia Ning, who was originally about to anchor, suddenly realized that she was being too attached to appearances. Why bother anchoring? She should just put it back in her spatial storage.

Xia Ning swam across the remaining distance.

Before long, Xia Ning reached the shallows. She poked her head out of the water and brushed her wet hair back.

The "mermaid" sister also came ashore, her fishtail turning into short legs, running around Xia Ning.

Land on the beach and collect some supplies first.

Coconut, Edible Green Plants, Crab, Crab...

These can be picked up with a simple bend, and they can solve part of the freshwater problem, as well as replenish energy and restore physical strength.

Xia Ning kept them all for future transactions.

Anyway, she can fit it all in.

While collecting supplies, Xia Ning also kept an eye out for other players' footprints on the shallows and for any prying eyes around her.

She didn't see any other arks when she was on the sea, but it's always better to be safe than sorry.

What if someone gets incredibly lucky and encounters an island on their very first day in the instance?

Living on a resource-rich island is much more comfortable than drifting on the sea.

The light blue tide kept washing over Xia Ning's feet. The seawater was actually clearer than a stream. When you were in the deep sea, you could clearly see fish swimming at the bottom.

On the contrary, near the beach, the seawater became murky due to the waves and trash.

Xia Ning wondered if her sister Ji Li's ranked match map, "Deserted Island," looked like this.

She saw in the chat that some players had already developed diarrhea and entered a weakened state due to improper handling of seafood.

The prices of medicines and fresh water in the mall have increased several times over, and are extremely high.

Therefore, most players are reluctant to spend survival points and instead hope to trade with other players.

In Xia Ning's opinion, it's better to be exploited by the system than to place your hopes on strangers.

At least you were killed by the system, so you know exactly what happened.
