Start farming
Xu Dongdong said that the system forum was open, so she clicked in to check it out.
Most of them were missing person messages. Chu Yun was a time traveler, and the original owner was also an orphan with no relatives or friends. She skipped the long list of missing person messages and scrolled down to find the information she needed.
The most popular one is a chain post.
"Community chain, survey the number of game participants."
This thread has been posted for several days, and the latest message was just sent, saying "I am from the 5000th community."
Counting by the number of people, there were only a few million a few days ago, but now there are over 100 million. It seems that sooner or later everyone will be pulled into the game.
Another popular post is about props. Perhaps the forum is one of the few remaining entertainment options here, as there are so many people active on it out of boredom.
2L: "This lighter won't go out. This is the reward I got for defeating 10 zombies. Isn't it awesome? I don't have to make fire by rubbing two sticks together anymore!"
3L replied to 2L: "What kind of amazing prop is this? I've seen more amazing ones. Have you heard of the faucet that can be used everywhere? As long as you have this faucet, water will flow out no matter where you plug it in. Sometimes, it will even flow out milk or cola."
4L replied to 3L: "Damn, such an awesome item must be very rare!"
5L replied to 3L: "It's like traveling through time and space with some magical props."
6L replied to 3L: "If you ask me, the most practical props are still space props. You can buy water sources at convenience stores or look for them. But without space props, even if you have a lot of supplies, you won't be in trouble if you don't have hands to hold them. I only saw a man with a space prop. He was so freaking high-profile, he took out all the good stuff in a big way. But he was also very skilled, and the people who tried to snatch the props were beaten badly."
7L replied to 6L: "Of course, if you weren't good at fighting, you wouldn't be so bold!"
Looking along the way, all kinds of strange props emerge one after another. Chuyun's space props are relatively normal. After all, there are 100 million people. Even if there is only a one in a hundred thousand chance, there will be 1,000 rare props in this game.
Throughout the entire article, I didn't see any news about the land prop card, because I found the matching reward given by the special material point system. I guess the prop has been on the market for too short a time, or maybe someone is hiding it like her.
Chu Yun exited this post and continued to scroll down.
"Shocking! Zombies appeared while I was surviving on the highway. My good partner of many years actually pushed me into the water for his own selfish reasons."
There were a lot of curses under the post, most of them sympathized with the poster and condemned his partner for being morally corrupt and having questionable character. Some people also said that the poster was an idiot, that everyone is selfish when it comes to interests, and that he couldn't blame others for not being able to judge people well.
Chu Yun couldn't help but think of the fat man Yue Shan and Zhang Xiaomei. They were living examples of men dying for lust and birds dying for food!
She clicked her tongue, pushed the post aside, and continued scrolling.
"Survival strategy post: I beg all the big guys to selflessly share various life-saving skills. This humble worker is making this online request."
"+1."
"+2."
"+10086."
One of the survivors stood out in particular.
"I used to be a wilderness survival blogger, so I have a lot to say about survival. When faced with natural disasters or other challenges, mastering certain survival skills and knowledge can save your life in critical moments. 1. Find a clean water source. If you don't have one, use various methods to filter it. 2. Use plants in the natural environment to make simple survival tools. 3. Learn basic survival skills, such as making a simple shelter, finding food and water, and avoiding predators. 4. Learn to identify plants in nature."
The most important sentence is: "For information on how to filter water, make survival tools, and identify wild plants, please privately message me. You don't need to spend 998 or 98 gold coins, just 10 gold coins and you can gain the valuable experience I have accumulated over the years."
Although you can't add friends directly in the forum, there is a private chat function. The personal interface is tied to the forum, so gold coins can be transferred through chat. Many people began to exploit this loophole.
This post received mixed reviews, with some critics accusing the blogger of being greedy for money, while others said it was the proper way to pay for knowledge. Amidst the discussion, some people who had been taken advantage of stood up and spoke out.
"Don't believe him, he's just trying to scam people out of gold."
"I was also cheated, damn, I worked so hard to save up 10 gold coins, I'm going to collapse!"
…
Quite a few people have been deceived.
Chu Yun looked at it with both laughter and tears. No matter where you go, online fraud is everywhere.
It was getting late, Chu Yun closed the World Forum and lay down on the comfortable big bed to rest.
At 6 o'clock the next morning, Chu Yun opened his eyes on time due to the influence of his biological clock and started his daily morning exercise.
Not far from the door, Xu Dongdong had already started practicing boxing under the guidance of Yu Wenhao. Chu Yun did not disturb them and quietly walked from the back of the room to the beach.
Walking through the quiet grove, Chu Yun took out a bag of vegetable seeds from his space ring, took out one and prepared to dig a hole and bury it.
"If you discover any acts of damaging public property, please stop immediately! Please stop immediately!"
A sharp system tone suddenly rang overhead, startling Chu Yun. He felt a guilty conscience. So, he couldn't plant seeds? It seemed he could only plant on the land props provided by the game.
She reached the beach, lost in thought. The morning air was crisp, and white waves lapping against the sand created ripples. Breathing the slightly damp air, her mind calmed. She set aside the unanswered questions and began running. This was her favorite sport since the apocalypse; she loved the feeling of sweat pouring down her face. When she exercised, she could completely let go, free from stress and worries about tomorrow.
Gradually, more and more people started coming to exercise. Perhaps the pressure of the highway survival dungeon had put on most players, and everyone had tacitly prioritized improving their stamina. They all lived in the same neighborhood, and although they didn't know each other, they nodded and silently greeted each other.
An hour and a half later, Chu Yun, sweating profusely, returned to the single suite. At the same time, Xu Dongdong brought her a hoe, saying that it was a survival item obtained by a player in a maze copy, and he exchanged it for a steamed bun. He also told Xu Dongdong to use it with caution, saying that it was his only guarantee of survival.
Looking at these farm tools being used as weapons, Chu Yun was filled with mixed emotions. When would he be able to have farming tools of his own?
After returning home, Chu Yun took out the lunch box and started eating. There were still 3 lunch boxes left, which was just enough for today and tomorrow. He had to replenish them for the next round of games.
After eating, we went to Happy Farm to start planting. Chu Yun had no experience in planting vegetables before, so he relied on brute force to dig in the soil. It took him a full two hours to dig a small acre of land.
After hoeing the ground, Chu Yun counted the seeds one by one and planted them. There was only one packet of seeds, so she needed to use them carefully.
After loosening the soil, Chu Yun sprinkled the seeds. The seeds were scarce, so she practically counted them one by one, then used a hoe to dig up the soil next to them and gently covered them. She learned by trial and error, and gradually became more skilled, her movements becoming faster and faster.
Chu Yun thought that professional matters still needed to be done by dedicated people. After collecting 5 land prop cards to form a farm copy, she issued a vegetable planting task and asked other players to work for her.
I have always worked for my own boss and for the system. It would be great if I could enjoy the pleasure of being my own boss in this life.
After sowing the seeds, Chu Yun used the metal bucket she bought from the convenience store to go to the stream and watered the vegetable garden bucket by bucket. She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she felt that the seeds buried in the soil immediately sprouted new buds after watering. It was worthy of the stream water that had lost its crystal core, and the growth rate was much faster.
The next day, when Chu Yun went to Happy Farm again, he saw that the seeds he had just planted yesterday had grown 10 centimeters tall.
Free from the pressures of survival, Chu Yun had been exceptionally relaxed these past two days. Besides her daily exercise and visits to the World Forum, she'd also been visiting Xu Dongdong's friends. After all, their activities were limited to this small community, and with so few leisure activities, it was truly boring.
In the past few days, she has become much more familiar with Xu Dongdong and Yu Wenhao. Xu Dongdong is enthusiastic and Yu Wenhao is honest. The three of them get along well with each other inexplicably, so they decided to team up to challenge the next round of games.
The night before the game, the three of them gathered in Xu Dongdong's room to discuss what to pay attention to tomorrow.
“We don’t know what the game will be tomorrow, so we need to be fully prepared.”
Yu Wenhao was taking notes on a piece of white paper. The paper and pen were the ones Chu Yun had snatched from the highway survival dungeon processing factory.
"Water, food, and weapons are essential, but we can't bring too much with us. We have to make a choice after weighing the pros and cons."
Xu Dongdong: "Yes, I tried it. The backpack can only hold three days of drinking water and five days of dry food, plus some essential small tools."
Yu Wenhao: "Although the system will assign us to a server, it won't be together from the start, so we have to at least hold on until we meet."
Seeing that the two of them were getting further and further away on the road of collecting supplies, Chu Yun had to interrupt: "I have a confession of news, I have a space prop, so..."
"Really?" Xu Dongdong opened his eyes and mouth wide, a little bit in disbelief, "Does that mean we can fit a lot of things in it?"
Chu Yun operated the space ring and released a bucket of water: "Absolutely true."
Xu Dongdong started to scream, "Oh my God! Oh my God! I've known for a long time that you're extraordinary, Sister Chuyun, but I didn't expect you to be so amazing that you even have a rare item with a one in a hundred thousand chance of being found!"
Chu Yun stopped Xu Dongdong's flattery and restarted their plan to stockpile supplies.
With the help of props, Xu Dongdong and Yu Wenhao put 20 barrels of 3L mineral water, 2 boxes of instant noodles, 30 loaves of bread, 30 steamed buns, and 10 bandages in the Chuyun Space Ring in addition to the necessary supplies in their backpacks. The three of them shared the gold coins for the public supplies. In addition, the two people's bowls and chopsticks and some bulky supplies were also kept with her.
Seeing that they trusted her so much and stored the supplies with her without hesitation, Chu Yun once again realized that these were two rare teammates.
"Finally, our goal is—"
"Clear! Clear! Clear!"
After preparing all the supplies, Xu Dongdong gave everyone a morale boost.
After the three of them talked, they went back to their rooms to rest. Chu Yun calculated his assets. After deducting 90 gold coins for public supplies and some of his own private supplies, he still had 2,750 gold coins left.
Compared with the last time when he got 0 coins, 2750 coins can be considered a huge sum of money. Chu Yun rested peacefully with the huge sum of money in his pocket.
