Cloud Alliance.
Yunjian was discussing the system announcement with everyone when she suddenly received a system notification—
[System notification: Received 1000 points from player "Yongqi, not Fifth Prince"!]
Yun Jian was a little surprised. In the past, the points income was only settled when tasks were completed and various major events were completed. Why did a new one suddenly pop up now?
She checked her task panel again and saw that the task was still there and had entered the countdown, with 3 days and 2 hours left until the task deadline!
Bai Yu frowned and said, "Didn't the game developers issue an announcement saying that it's impossible to access the game? How come your quest is still there? If I don't do it, it shouldn't have any impact, right?"
Yun Jian didn't say anything, but simply opened the online store.
After looking at them for a while, I chose an ordinary-looking stone and clicked to buy it.
Two seconds later, the purchase was successful.
Bai Yu asked Yun Jian with his eyes what she meant by this.
Yun Jian held the stone he had just bought in his hand and weighed it in his hand. "We will receive donations from the audience, and the shop can be used to purchase items normally. Apart from the charred corpses, everything else is normal. Therefore, the game tasks can also be completed normally."
"But your mission... there's no way you'll even be able to complete it!"
Bai Yu looked at Yun Jian with concern, only to see that the latter acted as if nothing had happened, turning around and leaving the villa.
Where are you going?
Yun Jian smiled and said, "This task has been put aside for so long, perhaps it can be completed today."
Seeing how confident she seemed, Bai Yu remained silent and watched quietly.
Yun Jian first took out the Wind and Fire Wheels he had gotten from Bai Yu, then had Xiao Zhen freeze the two wheels. He then wove a simple frame out of bamboo, assembled the frozen Wind and Fire Wheels and the simple frame together, and sat inside.
Bai Yu looked doubtful. "Can this even fly?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a cool breeze swept past him. Bai Yu looked in that direction and saw that the simple bamboo cart carrying Yun Jian had already sped away.
Bai Yu: "..."
The slap in the face came so quickly.
Meanwhile, Yun Jian submitted the task.
[System settlement in progress...]
The player provided a car with a maximum speed exceeding 120 km/h. Congratulations to player Yunjian for completing the mission!
Rewards: 300 points, 8 attribute points
The player has provided a piece of fabric produced in the game. Congratulations to player Yunjian for completing the task!
Rewards: 90 points, 4 attribute points
Performance score settlement: A total of Whale Coins were earned in this task. 1000 Whale Coins can be exchanged for 1 point, which is 986.36 points.
Additionally: Players who become the first in the game to be infected with the charred corpse worm and successfully survive will be rewarded with the item "You've lived a long life".
Refresh Task: ...
The quests cannot be refreshed at the moment and are triggered randomly by players. Please try your best to find the quests!
Yun Jian was stunned when he saw the settlement page.
The rule of not refreshing the quests, but making players trigger them, is quite profound!
She put away her fire wheels and hurried back towards the camp.
[That's it? Holy crap, this works?]
If I remember correctly, this "fire wheel" only lasts for three seconds, right? What kind of car is this?
[First, the system only requires a speed exceeding 120 km/h; second, it must be a vehicle. Which condition has not been met?]
I was speechless.
Back at the camp, Yun Jian showed Bai Yu the system panel. Bai Yu glanced at the character interface and frowned deeply. "Quests are randomly triggered by players? Isn't this forcing us to go out? Is the system afraid we'll stay cooped up in the camp for too long, so it's forcing us to go out? Otherwise, we won't be able to get points and various resources?"
Yun Jian nodded. "That should be true."
"Didn't the game developers say they couldn't interfere with the game? How come they still came up with these dirty tricks?"
Yun Jian pushed open the villa door. "Who knows? The key is that we can't resist; we can only be pushed along."
Just then, Liang Song and Lao Si's team returned. As soon as they saw Yun Jian, Lao Si rushed over and said, "Boss, it's good that you're here too. We've discovered another ominous fact."
Yun Jian pressed her temples; she had heard countless ominous rumors during this period.
"What is it this time?"
"When we went out to look for supplies, we found that some of the ground had been dug up and there were traces of people living inside."
Yun Jian was taken aback, realizing something.
The fourth brother continued, "Brother Liang and I went down to investigate and found that it was a tunnel dug by a player before. It is estimated that the player used to live in it. We also found bloodstains and some burnt, slimy liquid inside."
At this point, Yun Jian understood completely.
"Was that tunnel dug out by the charred corpse?"
The fourth brother looked at Liang Song.
Liang Song continued, "My guess is that if the charred corpses have learned to dig tunnels for players to hide in, then it would be a huge disaster for ordinary players. They would have nowhere to hide and would have to be on guard against charred corpse attacks at all times."
Only players with special items can truly sleep soundly.
The charred corpses evolved at a speed beyond their imagination.
As the group was still discussing the matter, they suddenly heard LĂĽ Ping shout from the rooftop, "Watch out, there's a charred corpse coming!"
Seeing that the group immediately realized what was happening, Yun used the old method again, laying down an electric fence to keep the charred corpses out.
But this time was different. The charred corpses did not attack randomly as they had before. Instead, they split into several groups. The first group used wooden sticks, seemingly trying to pry open the silkworm shell. After failing to do so, they tied small knives to the sticks, intending to use them to cut open the shell.
If they can't move it, the charred corpses behind them will help them push harder.
Their actions resembled those of a well-trained team.
Bai Yu watched with a mixture of tension and anxiety, thinking, "If they keep drawing lines like this, our defense network might not be able to hold up."
Yun Jian also looked serious. As expected, charred corpses that can use tools are not easy to deal with.
She opened her backpack, her eyes quickly scanning the items inside, finally landing on the small stone she had just bought.
I bought it to test the online store, and now it's come in handy.
This small stone can be replicated countless times, but the replicated stones are hollow inside. The equipment description says that it can hold anything you want.
Yun Jian tried to replicate a few stones.
Then I bought twenty three-second energy storage balls, fully charged Lao Si, and put the energy storage balls into the stone.
She found a slingshot and had the fourth brother adjust the cocoon shape so she could launch the stones.
At first, the charred corpses were not afraid of these suddenly appearing pebbles. They didn't even care about them. It wasn't until the pebbles hit their wrists one by one, the electric current making them unable to move, and the tools in their hands fell onto the silkworm cages, getting wet and unusable, that they finally realized what was happening.
This inconspicuous little pebble is the other party's trick!
The charred corpses flapped their wings and roared angrily on the silkworm enclosure, but dared not approach it even a fraction of an inch.
After a fruitless standoff, they finally left.
Not long after the silkworm net was removed, and before everyone had even had a chance to rest, a chattering sound came from the camp entrance. Yun looked at Lao Si, who immediately went to investigate.
Soon, the fourth brother returned.
His expression was grim. "Boss, it's a squad from our camp that just got back, but one of the members is injured and his wound shows signs of slight infection. He wants to come in, but the guards are worried that it might affect the other members of the camp, so they're questioning him carefully. Somehow, the two sides started arguing."
Yun Jian reached out to the fourth brother, "Help me up, let's go see."
