While Jia Leida was scanning, Su Lin also finished cleaning up the remaining supplies in the room.
"Brother, how was the harvest?"
Xiao Linlin approached Su Lin with anticipation and asked him a question. Su Lin stood up and shook his head, revealing two purple collectible items: "The result is about what I expected. After I retrieved all the lost items below S-rank, ordinary containers can only yield purple rewards at most."
To date, Su Lin has recovered the A-level trait [Stabilizing the Universe], the A-level movement technique [A Leaf Boat], and the A-level mental cultivation method [Minor Perfection Sacred Skill].
At this point, only S-grade and higher quality items remain unrecovered from Su Lin's lost projects.
"Purple reward? That's not bad. At least my brother's talent in this game is quite effective. Before, when we touched these ordinary containers, we mostly got blue rewards!"
"What a pity, I should have kept those purple containers. That way, I could have used the container effect to assemble a higher-level Lost Item."
Su Lin shook his head regretfully. In the foundation of his current system, there is still a big gap in the internal energy cultivation method. His A-level Hunyuan Qigong was overwritten by the S-level Innate Dao Heart Gong after he exchanged and learned it. The S-level Innate Dao Heart Gong has not yet been found.
Without the support of internal energy, many of his system combat techniques cannot be fully utilized, and his combat power will be greatly reduced.
Xiao Linlin comforted him, "Brother, it's alright. We can just go find another container. We have eyes anyway."
"Eye?"
"Look, the eyes are doing their work over there."
Xiao Linlin pouted, and Su Lin looked over to see Jia Zhengyi circling around against the room wall, his gaze fixed on the outside.
A short while later, he slumped back onto the sofa, saying, "Damn it, there's nothing of value around here. What a waste of my energy."
"Let's go outside."
Xiao Linlin was very proactive: "Your ability has a distance limit, so let's walk around a bit more and explore. We just need to increase the range of our ability's radiation."
She was very confident. After all, although Jia Zhengyi's superpower had limitations, the limitations were not too great. Compared to the current situation of other survivors, it was already incredibly powerful.
"We still have to go out! It's almost dark!"
Jia Zhengyi rolled his eyes: "Little girl, can't we rest for one night? There's no time limit for this match, why are you in such a hurry to go out?"
"How can we not be anxious! What if someone finds all the lost items faster than us!"
Xiao Linlin stared wide-eyed: "Based on our calculations, the optimal theoretical number of survivors in this match is only 100! Considering the many variables involved, the final number of survivors will definitely be lower than that!"
Xiao Linlin is right. In the information released at the start of the game, the mechanism emphasized that there is only one absolutely reliable way to escape: retrieve 50% of your lost items and then complete 10 chase missions to obtain the game map with the coordinates of the escape location.
The pursuit mission will obviously force the survivors in the game to kill each other, which is in line with the ultimate goal of the game's promotion evaluation.
The number of players for this match was announced before it started: there is a limit of 1,000 survivors in the match, and only 100 survivors will be able to escape. If someone kills two more survivors, there will definitely be some unlucky ones who will fail to escape.
In Xiao Linlin's judgment, it was highly likely that someone would exceed the kill quota!
Of course, even if you fail to escape, it won't affect your chances of being promoted to the top 100. However, the extra penalty for failing to escape is disgusting: you will randomly lose at least 1-3 "unrecovered lost items".
At the same time, the existence of the "extra penalty" is also an obvious way to intensify the internal conflicts among the survivors: forcing players to kill each other more and more as soon as possible until the mission conditions are met.
Even if they get promoted, it will be a huge loss, and nobody wants to be the unlucky one.
There is no tight escape time limit in this game, but these mechanisms combined will create a more urgent escape atmosphere where everyone is racing against time.
"Can't we just retrieve all the lost items and then do another escape mission?"
"That's a probabilistic event, it can't be the primary target. I can't let my brother take his chances; I have to ensure his 100% escape!"
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you."
Jia Zhengyi reluctantly got up and led the two of them out, muttering, "Honestly, no one told me I had to work the night shift when I came here."
"Oh, right, brother."
Xiao Linlin took Su Lin's large hand, looked up and asked carefully, "During your search just now, did you find any supplies from the backpack?"
"Are you planning to use medicine to replenish Lao Jia's strength?"
Su Lin shook his head: "Unfortunately, I didn't find anything; there wasn't a single item in the backpack."
"I see."
Xiao Linlin nodded and made a judgment: "Then it is most likely that the [backpack] is regarded as a [lost item as a whole], and the supplies inside will not be searched separately. Players can retrieve the [entire backpack], which makes things much easier."
This was certainly true for Su Lin, given that he had far too many combat supplies in his backpack, worth almost millions.
If each one had to be searched and retrieved individually, it would take too much time.
"Based on the search results my brother just found, we can basically conclude that we need to conduct a targeted search based on the quality of the lost items, because my brother has too many high-quality items, and low-level containers are no longer sufficient to provide a high probability of retrieval."
