In the semi-interstellar era, a holographic survival game called "Ten Day Plan" came out of nowhere and released thousands of internal testing quotas to the entire interstellar alliance.
The level of realism shown in its promotional videos is so outrageous that it is said that even the people of the famous interstellar military force, the Galaxy General Administration, intend to use it for daily training.
The Ten-Day Plan became famous overnight.
Even for a while, the greetings between friends became "Have you smoked? Have you smoked? Have you signed up?"
All of this originally had nothing to do with Qianyue.
As a biologist who often loses connection to the internet, she just returned from a desolate planet, ending her six-month primitive life.
During this rare vacation, Qianyue just wants to stay at home for a few months in her own little nest, like a salted fish without any dreams.
But I don’t want to…
Delivery guy: "Hello, Galaxy Express. Where do you plan to install your nutrition pod?"
Qianyue, who was woken up by the doorbell, said: "......???"
After figuring out the situation, Qianyue asked them to wait for a moment, then picked up the phone and scolded her brother:
"Didn't you say it was just a link to bargain?"
She was still confused at the time. Although she had never used these shopping apps, she knew that generally all she had to do was click.
However, in recent years, StarNet has been conducting stricter inspections and real-name registration is required everywhere. Therefore, when Qianyue was asked to fill in her name and address, she did not think much about it.
Now, looking at the delivery guys who came to install the equipment and the huge nutrition cabin, she really wanted to fly back to the main planet and slap her brother in the face!
Qian Chi cried out in injustice: "Aren't you a perennial black party member? I just forwarded it for fun, I didn't expect you to win!"
Qianyue's fist suddenly hardened.
What should you do if your child loves to play? They probably deserve a beating!
"Are you itching for trouble? In three days, roll over and carry it back to the main planet."
Qian Chi sighed, looking very ignorant: "I can't use it even if you bring it back. Where are the internal test quotas, sister? They are bound to my identity information."
He dropped a bombshell, "I heard that if you're selected and don't participate, your credit report will be affected."
What's more, he himself was also infected, so there was no need for it.
But he didn't dare say this now.
Qian Chi, thinking he was a warm man, advised: "Just treat it as a way to adjust your mood. Girls are older, so don't get angry too much."
"If you really don't want to play, just get eliminated in the first instance."
Qianyue: "Get lost!"
Three days later, the internal test officially began.
Qianyue climbed up from the bed reluctantly and lay down in the nutrition cabin at the right time.
The countdown to the server opening will soon end.
After the information was confirmed to be correct, a flash of light appeared before her eyes, and then she came to a pure white endless space.
The next second, a mechanical sound rang out.
"Welcome to the Ten Day Plan."
“In this closed beta test, players will take on survival challenges in multiple different dungeons.”
"Each instance lasts ten days. If you survive for ten days, you will be considered to have completed the instance."
"During the closed beta, players have only one life. Death means elimination and the game experience is terminated. Only players who have completed the level can participate in the next dungeon. The winner is the one who survives to the end."
"Note: The speed of time in the dungeon is different from that in the real world. The day is four hours long, and the night is only two hours long. This does not apply to special maps."
…
Qianyue impatiently skipped over the previous nonsense. While she was still sleepy, she just wanted to get into the game and lie down to continue sleeping.
"Every player has one chance to draw items every day, and the range of draws varies depending on the profession."
"Players, please make your career choice."
The moment the words fell, four options appeared in front of Qianyue.
【doctor】
Attribute: Increases health limit by 30%
Skill: When using medical supplies on any target, the healing effect is increased by 5% to 10%.
Selection scope: Medical products, psychotropics
【hunter】
Attributes: Increases the upper limit of physical strength by 30%.
Skill: Increases prey drop rate by 5-10%.
Selection scope: Food, psychotropics
【scholar】
Attributes: Increase the upper limit of spirit value by 30%.
Skill: The effect of props made using blueprints increases by 5% to 10%.
Selection range: Blueprints, mental suppressants
Seeing this, Qianyue was thoughtful.
She decisively summoned her character panel and saw three value bars as expected.
Health value, physical value, and something called spirit value.
[Spirit]: Represents the player's mental state. If the Spirit index is too low, the player is likely to fall into confusion, insanity, or even a state of rage. However, a mental suppressant can be used to restore the character to normal.
Qianyue was slightly stunned.
Unlike the interstellar works that people have imagined in the past, there is no such thing as "mental power" in the semi-interstellar era.
But Qianyue, as an explorer who often ventures into the wilderness, knows very well that "mental state" is something that is easily overlooked by all kinds of survival enthusiasts.
Survival in the wilderness is not as "cool" as it is in some live broadcast programs. It is full of dangers and extremely lonely.
Qianyue has seen many seniors who have lived in the wilderness for a long time. Some of them are withdrawn at best, and some are mentally ill at worst.
Qianyue was somewhat surprised that the "Ten-Day Plan" paid attention to this issue.
I even had a faint interest - but only a little.
"Something."
She continued reading, and the introduction read:
These three values affect the player's survival status. If any of them reaches zero, the character may die. And the attribute bonuses of scholars, doctors, and hunters all correspond to these three values.
As for the last profession...
Qianyue glanced at it gloomily, and then her eyes lit up!
【beggar】
Attributes: Default NPC favorability +30%.
Skill: Stealing.
Selection scope: All.
If Qianyue had visited the official forum before entering the game, she would have known that beggar is actually the least popular profession.
Although "Ten Day Plan" is a holographic online game, it is said that the existence of NPCs in it is almost the same as not having them.
Except for a few NPCs who are lucky enough to release hidden tasks occasionally, most NPCs are too busy to protect themselves, and it is impossible for them to release daily tasks with rewards like other online games.
Therefore, in the analysis of various posts, the "NPC favorability +30%" is actually almost useless, not to mention that the beggar also has a despicable skill.
Many people even complained to the authorities, demanding the abolition of this useless profession.
But there are also a small number of people who think this profession is very curious and may be fun.
——Qianyue was not one of those few people, but she also fell in love with this profession at first sight.
She murmured, "You can draw once a day, and the selection range is everyone."
Doesn't that mean you can collect props for different professions just by lying down every day and pass the levels easily?
She was originally racking her brains over what to do with this game, but unexpectedly, someone handed her a pillow when she felt sleepy!
The system mentioned before that once a copy is started, it cannot be exited midway.
In other words, she could either die and escape, or stay in the dungeon for ten days and then exit naturally after passing the level.
Qianyue rejected the first option without thinking.
Qianyue had never considered committing suicide, something that was not in line with ■■'s core values - wouldn't it be even more tragic if he became paralyzed?
Picking a fight with a boss is also very troublesome - the key point is that you have to take the beating and cannot fight back, which sounds very frustrating;
Similarly, Qianyue didn't want to experience the feeling of being starved to death/exhausted to death/or even going insane.
On the contrary, extreme survival was her daily routine at work, so it would be more convenient to just survive.
She just needs to prepare the necessary consumables and find a safe place to lie down quietly.
Add to that this career that seems tailor-made for salted fish, it’s simply perfect!
"I choose beggar." Qianyue said happily, praising the planner of the design profession several times in her heart.
"The career is set."
"The character setting is complete."
"The game is loading..."
"Newbie rewards have been distributed. The first dungeon [Extremely Cold World] is now open. Good luck."
Another flash of white light passed by, and Qianyue quickly closed her eyes.
cold.
A coldness that penetrates deep into the bone marrow.
Qianyue suddenly opened her eyes and found herself lying in a thatched hut.
This house doesn't even have a door. It's snowing heavily outside and the cold wind is blowing in. Qianyue was woken up by this wind just now.
She quickly sat up from the ground. At the same time, she saw with her own eyes another figure not far away, who also looked like he had just been teleported in.
Before Qianyue could marvel at the magic of the game, she felt a weight on her shoulders the next second.
Only then did Qianyue realize that she was carrying a backpack on her back.
She took off the backpack, and the moment she touched it, the backpack's properties were immediately revealed.
【Portable Storage Compartment (Small)】
Description: A portable storage compartment that looks like a backpack and can hold a total of fifty items.
Qianyue opened her backpack, and inside lay quietly a beginner's gift pack and a set of blueprints.
Beggars can get a random item every day, and this blueprint should be Qianyue’s item today.
[Blueprint: Barbecue (Normal)]
Description: Gather all the ingredients to make barbecue (restore 10% of your physical strength), the quantity is 1 to 3 pieces at random.
Required Materials: Item Fragment (Meat) x3, Wood x1, Synthetic Stone x1
Since this was the first time Qianyue had seen a blueprint, there was a small system prompt below.
*All drawings are disposable.
*Materials can be obtained through hunting or exploring.
*The effects of items made by players with the profession of Scholar using blueprints are increased by 5% to 10%.
Qianyue remembered what was said in the job introduction: When a doctor uses medical products on any object, the effect increases by 5% to 10%.
Different props will have bonuses when given to people of different professions - it seems that the game officials are trying to match people up with each other.
Qianyue tutted, "...such trouble."
She just had to enter the game, but she didn't expect that playing a game would require using her brain_(:з」∠)_
Tired of love.jpg
Qianyue opened the newbie gift pack again, and got 10 psychotropics, 10 hard breads, 10 isatis root, and 600 yen.
[Mental Suppressant]: It can calm a person's restless mood and restore 30 points of mental value.
[Hard Bread]: This looks like a hard piece of bread, but it might even be used as a brick. Restores 10 points of health.
[Isatis Root]: Isatis Root can cure all diseases. It can restore 10 health points and eliminate or alleviate certain negative states.
The remaining currency is 600 yen.
In general, the items given by the system are quite practical, especially the mental suppressant. This thing seems to be rarer than other items, but it is equally important.
The novice gift package can give out ten at a time, which is actually very considerate to the players.
It’s a pity that there is always a difference between games and reality. For example, things like mental suppressants that are put in test tubes can only be used directly. You can’t just drink the liquid and keep the glass test tube.
Otherwise, Qianyue could make a lot of things with this glass tube.
At worst, you can use it as a container to boil water, drink hot water, or keep warm.
Looking at her thin clothes, Qianyue sighed.
This is an extremely cold world. If the situation is good, the current temperature will probably remain the same. If the situation is worse, it will probably get even colder in the next few days.
“…”
After cursing her bastard brother a thousand times in her heart, Qianyue silently accepted the reality.
But accepting reality does not mean fighting hard.
The most urgent task is to first understand the consumption patterns of various values, so as to calculate how long the supplies in hand can last, and then prepare supplies and find shelter.
Qianyue’s goal is to stock up on everything at once, and then sit back and relax until the holiday is over.
After making a plan in a few seconds, Qianyue stood up and walked around the room twice.
It had been several minutes since the game was launched, and several people had come into the palm-sized thatched hut one after another.
At this time, they were busy checking their data and backpacks, and they tacitly kept a distance from each other and did not disturb each other.
But at this moment, they suddenly saw someone standing up. Several players in the room became alert instantly, and for a moment everyone's eyes were cast on the young woman.
What is she going to do?
What are you planning?
The group of people, with different thoughts in their minds, subconsciously held their breath. But the person involved was not affected at all by the gaze.
She only looked at the door, walked around the room a few times, and finally found a relatively sheltered corner, and then -
Lie down peacefully.
