Meng Qingyin carefully put away the seashell transmitter, deciding to avoid seeing it altogether.
However, Mermaid just mentioned "time energy," could it be the "time energy" in this mini-game?
What exactly is the use of this "time energy"?
Time energy... Could it be energy that can travel through time?
If she could really travel through time, she would love to go to the future and see if humanity had truly escaped this game.
However, what Samezawa said at the time was "time energy can go back to... the past," could it be that he went back to the past?
Well, since "time energy" is so important, she'll collect time fragments first, and then she can find out what's going on.
However, now that we've entered the mini-game, the items in the Time Shop should be unlocked, right? I wonder if there are any useful items.
She opened the Time Shop and found that some of the items had been unlocked.
Moreover, there are quite a few useful props.
[Fragment Detector: Capable of detecting all time fragments within a 10-kilometer radius of the surrounding sea. Price: 200 Gold Coins.]
Meng Qingyin was truly impressed. She had thought the ticket price was already expensive, but she hadn't expected it to be even more expensive.
She gritted her teeth and decided to be a sucker for the sake of "time energy".
She bought a debris detector. When the indicator light in front of her lit up, Meng Qingyin swam straight ahead without hesitation.
After swimming for more than ten minutes, she found the first fragment of time.
The fragments of time emitted a faint light, yet they were easily visible.
Meng Qingyin stepped forward and picked up the fragment of time.
This is a hard card with a picture on it. The background of the picture is a vast desert. There is a car on the highway, and a girl is sitting in the car. She is staring at the back seat with a look of horror on her face.
There is a line of smaller print at the end: [Arid Desert - Century Egg and Lean Pork Congee; Ordinary Fragments; Authenticity Unknown].
Yes, the girl in the picture is Li Zhou.
However, this is just an ordinary fragment—could there be a special fragment?
As for whether the photos are real or fake...
Could you be referring to the content in the image?
Meng Qingyin immediately sent a private message to Li Zhou: "[Time Fragment], this is a time fragment I found. See if you recognize this scene."
Century Egg and Lean Pork Congee: "Huh? How come I'm in the time fragment? I still remember this scene. I found a cockroach in the car and was so scared that my soul almost flew away, so it left a deep impression on me."
Mengmeng: "Okay, I understand."
Century Egg and Lean Pork Congee: "Hey bro, could you give me this time fragment? I won't take it for free, I'll give it to you once I find another time fragment!"
This is a fragment of her life, which she wanted to keep as a memento.
Mengmeng: "Okay."
She traded the time fragment to Li Zhou.
After a while, Li Zhou sent a message: "Hey? That's strange, how did it turn into a special fragment? [Time Fragment], how about I return it to you?"
Meng Qingyin was stunned. It had turned into a special fragment?
She clicked on the time fragment link sent by Li Zhou and found that the small print "ordinary fragment" had indeed changed to "special fragment".
why is that?
Before she could think it over, Li Zhou traded the time fragment to her.
Century Egg and Lean Pork Congee: "Special fragments must be quite valuable. Let's exchange them after I find other special time fragments."
Meng Qingyin stared at the [Fragment of Time] and fell into deep thought.
The [Fragment of Time] in her hand turned back into an ordinary fragment.
Therefore, whether a fragment is a regular fragment or a special fragment depends on its owner.
Does having your own time fragment mean it's a special fragment, while having someone else's is just a regular fragment?
Meng Qingyin felt that this was very likely.
Mengmeng: "This fragment is just an ordinary fragment in my hands, you can keep it."
She gave the [Fragment of Time] to Li Zhou.
Li Zhou was surprised, "You can do that? Then I won't hold back."
The conversation ended there, and Meng Qingyin continued swimming forward, searching for new fragments of time. Soon, she found the second fragment of time.
This fragment is still just an ordinary fragment.
[Famine - Flying Dragon in the Sky; Common Fragment; Authenticity Unknown]
Meng Qingyin opened the friends channel and searched for the player's nickname. She found that the other party was a player from server 987 of the Chinese server, and the avatar was black, which meant that the player named "Flying Dragon in the Sky" was already dead.
The authenticity of this photo is unknown, and the method used to determine its authenticity was based on her guess and has not been verified.
Meng Qingyin glanced at the time; half an hour had already passed.
It took half an hour to find two time fragments; the efficiency is too low.
She didn't know how many time fragments she would need to exchange for "time energy," but she figured the more the better.
She opened the Time Shop again and started looking for useful items, and immediately spotted an item that took up almost the entire page.
[Fragment Detector Upgrade Card: Unlocked after purchasing the Fragment Detector. Upgrades the Fragment Detector to show the distribution of debris within a 20-kilometer radius. Price: 200 Gold Coins.]
Meng Qingyin: "..." Her silence was deafening.
Who designed this lousy game? She wants to send them a razor blade!
At that moment, Jiao Ming, who was handling official business, suddenly sneezed, and then she heard a cold voice resound throughout the entire hall.
"Jiaoming, why can't I see the content in this mini-game? What are the Merfolk up to behind our four major clans' backs?"
It's that ungrateful bastard, Snake C, again.
Jiao Ming's gaze turned cold and menacing. "The microscopic game pod is a prop made by our Jiao Clan. It's not something that just any ordinary cat or dog can see."
Jiaoze is too weak-willed; he actually granted Shebing and the others access to view the last mini-game.
She wasn't Jiao Ze; since it belonged to the Jiao clan, how could someone like She Bing be qualified to see it? So she changed the permissions, so neither She Bing nor Niu Meng could see anything that happened in the mini-game.
Snake C felt offended. "Do you think the Phoenix Clan is just some nobody? Does the Merfolk Clan want to be enemies with the four great clans?"
Jiao Ming sneered, "Since when have you been able to represent the four major clans? Does Huang Teng know about this? Or... do you want to take his place?"
Snake C was startled: "What nonsense are you talking about? When did I ever think of replacing Huang Teng? Jiao Ming, I'm just giving you a friendly reminder. If the five major clans of our Pinggu Star cannot unite, we will be devoured by the alien races sooner or later! You'd better watch yourself."
After he finished speaking, the hall fell silent, and the sound of Snake Bing was no more.
Jiaoming's eyes were dark and gloomy.
Snakes are inherently cold-blooded, yet Huang Teng promoted a cold-blooded race to become one of the four great clans, unaware that he was raising a tiger to cause trouble.
I wonder if she'll regret it when she gets bitten hard by the venomous snake she's raising.
However, none of this mattered to the Merfolk, and she disdained to associate with them.
A war between alien races?
When have the Merfolk ever feared war?
