No. 21
Before she could think about it, a clear and familiar voice called her from a distance: "Tiantian, I'm here!"
This is Yu Jiao's voice!
Fu Tian turned around in surprise and saw that beautiful figure running towards her while shouting.
"Why are you here?"
Because the location of the academy's military training trials had once been leaked, allowing someone to deliver dangerous items there, nearly causing a major accident, every subsequent class of students was strictly prohibited from leaking relevant information to others.
Fu Tian really didn't expect Jiaojiao to appear here.
Time was running out. Yu Jiao explained while taking something out of her backpack, "I just got the news too. I heard that the opportunity was originally for the Food Department, but the number of applicants was too small, so they urgently sent a message to students in other departments."
"What about them?" Fu Tian nodded in a certain direction and started to take things out as well.
Glancing in the direction of Nuzui, Yu Jiao whispered, "They said the instructors who protect the students are not good enough, so they asked the outstanding and capable seniors to come along."
As for the specific situation, it is naturally not that simple.
After all, the two of them have been good sisters for many years, so they still have some tacit understanding.
They smiled at each other and began to exchange items.
Yu Jiao knew that Fu Tian liked to cook, so she brought a lot of local ingredients and seasonings, as well as some cooking methods.
Fu Tian is simpler, and just gives you various prepared delicacies.
Knowing that someone is a novice in cooking, I no longer have any hope.
After the two exchanged items and talked for a few more words, they were called away by their respective classmates.
There are not many students in the Food Department. This year, there are only two classes in total, with thirty students in each class. Most of them are stuck at the game qualification stage and cannot enter the game. There are only eight people left.
Four boys and four girls, quite evenly distributed.
The team is led by a teacher from another department, and the teachers from the Food Department have formed a separate team to look for new ingredients.
When the gold-level food came out, the first people to go crazy were none other than this group of people who were determined to ensure that everyone in the alliance could eat delicious food.
As luck would have it, Tang Ji was actually assigned as a security guard for Fu Tian's team. If Fu Tian hadn't known that her cover hadn't been removed, she would have become suspicious.
A team consists of exactly ten people. After confirming the number of people, the team leader submits the application to the system.
[System: Your team has requested to proceed to the primary dungeon. Do you agree?]
Everyone chose yes, and then the scene in front of them suddenly changed. Heavy snow fell like goose feathers, illuminating the sky and the earth.
Before everyone could react, they were almost frozen into ice sculptures.
Someone exclaimed: "It's too cold, it's probably minus 20 degrees Celsius."
The classmates around him quickly echoed: "It's even colder than where we are."
Each novice village is different. It just so happened that this male classmate was born in a very cold place.
Not knowing the rules of the game and not knowing how to prevent the cold, his durability dropped to zero after half an hour and he was frozen to death.
It is also because of this feature that this student’s backpack is filled with various winter items.
"Looking at your looks, I can tell you haven't prepared anything. Luckily I was smart." The boy said proudly, then started rummaging through his backpack and exclaimed.
"Oh no! Why is all the food gone?"
Upon hearing this, Fu Tian hurriedly looked through her backpack.
Sure enough, I saw that there was no ready-made food in the backpack except for the spatula, utensils and seasonings.
I clicked on the character information again and found that the game level had returned to zero, and the mall, rankings and other things had disappeared. Even the small map in the upper right corner was gone.
The whole world was white.
"Teacher, what should we do now?" The boy who first discovered this asked the team leader, Teacher Duan, while distributing the remaining clothes in his backpack to everyone.
Teacher Duan’s full name is Duan Chan, and he is a teacher in the Survival Skills Department next door.
It is also an unpopular major, but no one dares to look down on people who graduate from this major.
Every year during the college’s military training trials, we would apply to the department for several teachers from the Survival Skills Department to accompany us all the way so that we could use local resources in case of emergencies.
Teacher Duan is one of the best among them.
After using the quick-result method to determine the direction, Duan Chan chose the direction and led a group of students to a relatively safe place.
Duan Chan was two meters tall, a burly figure, and in a brown coat, looked like a brown bear from a distance. The group of students behind him were also wrapped up in balls, like little bear cubs.
The dungeon contained no prompts, no main storyline, and no cutscenes. To complete it, one had to rely on blind exploration. In this icy and snowy landscape, all Duan Chan could do was find a suitable place to set up camp and ensure the students' safety.
The final temporary residence was located on a slope. According to Teacher Duan, there was less wind there and it would be warmer at night.
There is a dense forest not far from the temporary residence, with larch, some trees, shrubs and other cold-resistant vegetation, which are good for use as firewood.
Teacher Duan took out the tents and sleeping bags that he had prepared long ago from his backpack and distributed them to everyone.
The game had only just launched, and the summer heat hadn't even arrived yet, so naturally, no one had prepared winter clothes. As for the boy living in the frigid Qiao City, he was lucky to have a few spare clothes to share, but nothing else.
After all, he is just a cook, not a wilderness survival explorer.
Watching Teacher Duan taking out various winter products like a hamster, Fu Tian really felt that it was reliable to have a teacher with such strong survival ability.
After setting up the tent and sprinkling some medicine powder around, Duan Chan saw that it was still early and prepared to arrange for the students to walk around.
The purpose of entering the dungeon is to gain experience and to find out if there are more ingredients.
It was a bit of a waste of talent resources for only ten people to act together. Teacher Duan divided the team into three teams according to their fighting strength. Two girls followed him, Fu Tian led a boy and a girl, and Tang Ji and his group consisted of four boys.
Originally, they wanted to separate Fu Tian and another girl, but after they both reported their ranking scores for the mecha simulation battle for admission, several boys fell silent, saying that they were the ones who needed attention.
Fu Tian also didn't expect that another girl on the same team ranked third in the grade in the mecha simulation battle.
However, when I think about my first-place result, it’s not surprising at all.
After learning some basic knowledge of direction identification, the three of them chose to walk in the opposite direction of the dense forest.
Fu Tian was accompanied by a girl named Tian Xiaoling and a boy named Rui Si. The former was a cute little girl with a round face and big red curly hair, while the latter was a baby-faced boy with a much more shy personality.
Tian Xiaoling chattered all the way and talked a lot.
"You don't know, but one year, the academy chose the Shuiyang Planet as the trial location. There, the ocean occupies 99% of the planet, and the land consists of only a few islands."
"Then why does the academy go there for the trial?" Fu Tian was a little curious.
Tian Xiaoling smacked her lips. "There was news that there was an aquatic animal on the water ocean planet that was unpolluted and had tender and delicious meat, so I went there. But..."
The unfinished words successfully aroused the curiosity of the other two.
Tian Xiaoling smiled to herself before saying, "In the end, the students went to the various islands in batches, but they didn't find any aquatic animals. Instead, they couldn't find the original island. In the end, it was Teacher Duan and the others who found them one by one."
Then none of the students passed that year and all of them had to repeat the grade.
It's both pitiful and funny.
"So we still have to find some ingredients." Fu Tian concluded, "And they have to be gold-level ingredients."
The other two nodded in agreement.
"Actually... do you think this game is weird?" The atmosphere was quiet for a while, and the shy Rui Si said in a low voice.
Fu Tian motioned for him to continue.
Receiving the encouragement, Rui Si smiled shyly. "Look at our alliance. In recent years, due to the increasingly severe mutations of plants and animals, the development of nutritional supplements on the market has gradually run into problems. More and more people are experiencing mental problems."
"But now 'Life' has given us a glimmer of hope. Isn't it said that this game was developed by a higher civilization? Then what do you say..."
Rui Si didn't say anything else, but when Tian Xiaoling heard this, all kinds of conspiracy theories and doomsday theories flashed through her mind.
It's really terrifying when you think about it.
Fu Tian also stood aside and frowned, but after thinking about it, she still felt that it was unlikely. "If they are going through so much trouble just to disintegrate the alliance and occupy the civilization's resources, then they are going to such great lengths."
The other two thought about it and agreed.
This is more than just a hassle as a game was specially built to provide resources.
"Let's just focus on how to pass this dungeon." Fu Tian changed the subject.
In most games, players advance by defeating monsters. Within three or more levels, there will be small monsters, elite monsters, and even big bosses. As long as you defeat them all, you've successfully cleared the level.
But the "Life" dungeon is clearly different, feeling more like a survival game dungeon. If you don't see a plot guidance NPC in a while, the probability is probably 90%.
The three of them made marks along the way as they walked. In the absence of a minimap, this was the only way they could avoid getting lost.
About twenty minutes later, they finally walked out of the white plain and saw a frozen lake.
Tian Xiaoling was the most curious. She stepped on the surface of the lake and after making sure it would not crack, she walked up.
"The lake water is probably frozen over 20 centimeters deep."
Reese beside him was also surprised, "Then how should we fish?"
Fu Tian determined the thickness of the ice under his feet, and remembered the series of fishing rods and fish feed that he had prepared in his backpack for fishing not long ago.
He said, "Do you know there's a kind of fishing called ice fishing?"
Seeing the two people's confused faces, Fu Tian explained to them: "Ice fishing is actually to drill a hole in the ice and then fish. However, this requires a series of tools, such as ice drills, ice picks, etc."
"But we obviously don't have enough tools on hand." Tian Xiaoling expressed regret.
"When the time comes, let's ask Teacher Duan if he has any good tools." Rui Si suggested in a low voice.
This shy boy still wants to integrate into the group.
Fu Tian looked at the other party's serious expression and smiled. "Let's make a mark and go back. The sun is setting and it looks like it's going to set. The temperature will definitely drop. At this time, it's safer to go back to the camp."
and...
Fu Tian closed her eyes and felt it.
The wind is blowing, and there is a unique smell in the wind.
