The man in the pit raised his head when he heard the sound. His face was originally full of murderous intent, but when he saw who was coming, his anger instantly reached its peak.
"Why you again?"
Qianyue was squatting beside the pit, leaning on her ice pick. She was stunned when she heard this. "You know me?"
Fang Nan: “!!!”
"You stole my money and my life, and now you're pretending not to know me?!"
Song Zeyang from the next pit: 0.0
Did he hear something terrible?
Qianyue:?
She remembered.
Previously, when she was in the previous copy, she met a group of people with bad intentions who came to her to ask for directions. She extorted a few pieces of bread from them and also took away a pork elbow.
Thinking of the secret pork elbow, Qianyue couldn't help swallowing.
But what does "cheat money and people" mean? How bad must this child's Chinese grades be!
Qianyue: "Are you a hunter?"
Fang Nan said with a gloomy face: "My brothers will be here soon. I advise you to let me go quickly."
Qianyue picked up a small stone and threw it, hitting Fang Nan on the forehead: "Answer my question first."
"you!"
Fang Nan clutched his forehead, furious. No one had ever dared to hit him! And on his forehead!
Qianyue picked up another one.
Fang Nan immediately backed off: "...Yes."
Qianyue turned her wrist very naturally, picked up the stone in her hand and tossed it up and down.
She asked, "How much food do you have left? Do you have any secret recipes left?"
Fang Nan was instantly alert: "What are you going to do?"
Qianyue: "You destroyed the trap I worked so hard on, you should at least compensate me, right?"
Fang Nan was shocked!
"You're talking nonsense!"
He had never seen such a shameless person!
It was clearly her who threw something down from the tree, either a stick or a spear, which scared him so much that he dodged to the side, causing him to fall into the trap.
——He even suspected that this person did it on purpose!
Qianyue: "Don't want to?"
Fang Nan sneered and was about to say something harsh when he heard Qianyue ask:
"Do you know why there is a pit here?"
Fang Nan frowned: "Didn't you dig it?"
Qianyue lied with her eyes open: "Of course not."
A biologist vs. an elementary school kid who failed Chinese, both can tell shocking lies with ease.
"Do you know what the Permian-Triassic period is? Most of the prehistoric creatures during this period were amphibians—you get the word amphibians, right?"
Fang Nan: “…Of course!”
Even if you really don’t understand, you can’t reveal it at this time!
Qianyue: "There's a river less than two hundred meters from here. There are many dinosaurs in it. Every season, prehistoric creatures crawl out of the river to lay eggs."
Hearing this, Fang Nan suddenly had a bad premonition.
Sure enough, the next second Qianyue said: "You have fallen into the egg pit of those creatures."
She lowered her voice, her bewitching expression like a devil's whisper, "If you don't believe me, look at your feet...isn't there a pile of broken shells?"
Fang Nan lowered his head subconsciously, and then his heart suddenly tightened!
…
In fact, Fang Nan didn't know what dinosaur eggshells were at all, but after hearing Qianyue's well-reasoned explanation, he believed it a little bit.
In addition, he saw something grayish-white in the soil*, and subconsciously thought that he had crushed the egg.
Qianyue continued to press: "It's going to be dark soon, those dinosaurs..."
"I'll give it to you! I'll give it to you!"
Fang Nan was really panicked this time, and he was completely different from the mysterious look he had when he was scheming against people before.
"Three loaves of bread, right? Pull me up and I'll give it to you right away."
Qianyue rolled her eyes: "I pulled you up first, do you think I'm stupid?"
She scoffed, "Besides, who told you it was three servings?"
Qianyue took off the rope that had tripped Song Zeyang without saying a word, tied it to the bucket, and hung the bucket down.
The bucket fell to the ground with a "plop", and Fang Nan's heart trembled.
Qianyue smiled slightly and said ruthlessly:
"Full, thank you."
"So you just let him go?"
At the bottom of the pit, Song Zeyang sighed repeatedly when he heard Qianyue let Fang Nan go.
Qianyue raised her voice and said, "What else? Leave it for you two to come out and fight?"
Song Zeyang said hurriedly: "That's not what I meant. You don't know what kind of person he is! He will definitely come back for revenge."
Qianyue: “Oh.”
Song Zeyang:? !!
Does this person even realize the seriousness of the situation? Why isn't she panicking at all?
Qianyue said slowly: "So I came here to find you, didn't I?"
When Song Zeyang heard this, he automatically thought, "I'm so weak. I don't know what to do, so I come to you for help."
The man was suddenly stuck, his face quickly heated up, and finally he said hesitantly: "There are too many of them, even if I add them, it's not enough..."
"But, but I will protect you..."
Qianyue:?
Who protects whom?
"You misunderstood."
Qianyue explained sincerely, "I'm here to collect damages from you—you destroyed my trap, and you're not going to deny it, are you?"
Song Zeyang: "...Wait, aren't we teammates now?"
Why do I have to pay damages suddenly?
Qianyue frowned: "You also failed Chinese?"
From beginning to end, she never mentioned that she taught Fang Nan a lesson because of him, let alone teaming up with him.
The supplies sent to us would be wasted, it's just a pity that those people ran away and we couldn't catch them all.
At this time, Qianyue heard some movement not far away and couldn't help but become alert.
Although the story about the egg pit and the broken egg was all made up by Qianyue, she herself did not verify it at all and just picked a few deep pits to use, but there is no guarantee that what she said before is really possible.
Besides, it was not safe after dark, so Qianyue did not want to continue wasting time with him.
She threw the bucket down in the same way and urged, "Hurry up and put the things in quickly. I'll pull you up."
"I won't take too many. Three will be enough. You can choose the variety."
Song Zeyang was immediately touched. The other party really still regarded him as a friend.
Qianyue: "I can't take more than that."
Song Zeyang: ...
The dream was completely shattered.
After paying the compensation, Song Zeyang finally got the opportunity to return to the Ornithorhynchus camp with Qianyue on the condition of providing information.
It’s not that Song Zeyang couldn’t see that Qianyue was unwilling to join a team, it was just that it was getting late and it wasn’t safe for him to go anywhere, so he had to follow with a thick face.
But Qianyue never does business at a loss. Song Zeyang repeatedly promised that the information he knew was absolutely important and niche.
Qianyue: "For example?"
Song Zeyang: "You can develop goodwill with NPCs in the game."
The expressionless face of the Duobao merchant flashed through Qianyue's mind, and she was speechless. "I know this."
Song Zeyang: "There is actually no such thing as a main quest in the game. This is just a rumor spread by people on the forum."
Qianyue tilted her head: "Although I don't know this, is it important?"
Song Zeyang: “…” It seems to be true.
He thought for a moment, "Because of the volcanic eruption, the air quality will become very poor, and players will easily get respiratory infections. What you're wearing now won't work either, it's just a layer of cloth."
Qianyue raised her hand to interrupt him: "If you want to talk about the mask, I'm sorry, I know that too."
Song Zeyang nodded and shook his head: "Not exactly. This copy has special item fragments dropped. You only need to collect three to make a gas mask. Although I don't know how to get it, I can give it to you."
Qianyue took it and looked at it, and it was true.
[Blueprint: Gas Mask (Special)]
Description: Gather all the materials to make an ordinary gas mask.
Required Materials: Item Fragments (Crafts) x3, Synthetic Stone x1
This thing is indeed much better than a cotton mask.
But how to obtain the materials still needs long-term consideration.
"Thanks. Let's go."
Qianyue originally didn't like to act with others, but because she had been trying to get out of the game before, she missed a lot of useful information and really needed someone to help her catch up.
——Anyway, that place is already known by Qi Yeyun, so it doesn’t matter if Song Zeyang knows about it. Besides, she probably won’t live there from tomorrow onwards.
On the way, Song Zeyang explained the whole story.
"The two teammates I initially found were in the same group as Fang Nan. It was fine before I met Fang Nan, but things started to get weird after we met."
There is no friend system in the game, and you can't even send messages by carrier pigeon.
Therefore, Song Zeyang guessed that this group of people should be a group in real life.
——If you don’t meet your teammates, then just play the game normally. If you meet them, then team up with them to betray them.
Qianyue: "It's quite dirty."
It reminded her of her "teammates" from the previous round.
Qianyue: "But why are they chasing you?"
Song Zeyang: "Ah, can't you see?"
Qianyue: “?”
Song Zeyang pulled his backpack over: "Backpack—Oh, I see, you didn't buy a backpack either?"
Upon hearing this, Qianyue turned her head to look at his backpack, and finally found that although the styles of the two backpacks were not much different, the other person's backpack looked obviously more advanced than hers.
Song Zeyang: "I bought this at the Super Mall. Items of the same type can be stacked together."
Qianyue's eyes suddenly lit up.
There is such a good thing?
She asked, "How many things can be put in it?"
Song Zeyang didn't think much about it and continued with her introduction: "There are a total of twenty grids. I haven't tested how many similar items can be placed in each grid, but I guess there is a limit."
Qianyue sighed: "There are many limited ones."
Unlike her, she is a rich woman but can only carry buckets of water.
Probably because Qianyue's eyes were too direct, Song Zeyang was so scared that he subconsciously moved the things back to his side.
Qianyue: "...I'm just taking a look."
Having said that, Song Zeyang felt that the other person's neck seemed to be about to stretch out.
He muttered, "That's what those people said before."
Then he turned around and snatched his things.
Qianyue sneered: "In your eyes, am I this kind of person?"
Song Zeyang wisely chose to keep his mouth shut, but his eyes betrayed his true thoughts.
Qianyue paused, then suddenly realized another problem. "Even if they took your backpack, they can't take the things inside."
The backpack is the player's personal property. Other players cannot see or take out any items from a backpack that does not belong to them - except beggars.
Qianyue remembered that after a player died, things like the backpack would disappear along with the entire player and would be directly turned into data.
She frowned and asked uncertainly, "Depending on the beggar players touching each other one by one?"
Finally, he met a place unknown to Qianyue. Song Zeyang breathed a sigh of relief and even felt a little happy.
"This is one of the news I want to tell you."
Song Zeyang: "If the character is dead, it won't work. But if the character is alive, the items in the backpack will become available for pickup after about five minutes of being dropped."
Qianyue paused slightly.
Her face was solemn.
Is it too late to change my mind and hunt down Song Zeyang now?
