Chapter 2: Extremely Cold World (2) Do I look like I’m dead? …



Xianyu's collapsed posture was so natural that the other players were stunned for a long time.

After about a few minutes, the remaining four players had counted their items and started talking to each other.

Although "Ten Day Plan" is a survival game, it does not clearly limit the number of people who can complete each copy.

In other words, the game itself is not very competitive.

Similarly, it can be seen from the career settings that compared to competing, the game officials hope that they will cooperate with each other.

So there is no inherent conflict between players.

——Except for beggars who have activated the "Steal" skill.

After all, no one wants to give away the things they have worked so hard to collect.

After confirming that everyone was friendly, several players were now gathering together to discuss going out to explore.

"Since we've been teleported together, we might as well form an alliance and take care of each other."

No one objected.

"Since this is a survival game, staying indoors all the time definitely won't work."

Besides, they play games just to wander around.

Someone immediately said, "Now that the snow isn't falling too heavily, we can split up into small groups and go out exploring. But don't go too far, or you might run into danger."

There is no friend system or team system in the game, so if they want to exchange information, they still have to get together in the end.

"Yes. I heard someone on the forum say that this kind of survival game could be dangerous at night, so we'd better get back before dark."

"Let me make one thing clear first. Any items you pick up on the road belong to you. Let's just share the information with each other."

"I think so."

"No problem."

The beta test qualification was rare, so players naturally cherished it. They clearly divided the benefits beforehand, which made cooperation easier.

The four of them hit it off immediately, agreed on the rules, and immediately prepared to go out.

Before leaving, someone caught a glimpse of Qianyue in the corner and remembered that there was another person.

Her body was lying straight, her backpack covering her entire face, her hands neatly folded on her abdomen. Such a peaceful posture made everyone look at each other in amazement.

After a few seconds of silence——

"What about her?"

"Shout?"

"It always feels a bit hairy..."

"Why don't you just ignore it? She just came in and lay down. What if she doesn't want to play?"

If Qianyue were awake, she would definitely praise him as a "sensible person".

But at the moment she was in a "low energy" state, so naturally she couldn't hear what the other person was saying.

teammate:"……"

Although they thought it was a bit ridiculous to "get the internal test qualification but not play the game", they finally decided to mind their own business and go out to explore.

Heavy snow.

Thatched house.

Inside was a man lying with his face covered by a backpack, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

Xu Hongbo was almost scared to death when he came in.

He turned around and whispered to his teammates behind him: "Be careful, there's..."

Shi Wei: “Ah!”

Xu Hongbo: "...people."

Noticing the speechless gazes of her teammates, Shi Wei quickly covered her mouth, her heart still pounding.

She lowered her voice and asked, "What...is this thing? Is it a human or a ghost?"

Although Xu Hongbo was also frightened at first, Shi Wei's reaction just now was even more severe than his. After the comparison, Xu Hongbo suddenly felt that it was not so scary.

He quickly calmed down, took a quick look, and said, "The backpack is the same as ours. It must be a player."

Shi Wei heaved a sigh of relief immediately, but just as she was halfway through, she heard Xu Hongbo say:

"Of course, we can't rule out the possibility that a player deliberately placed his backpack on the NPC's corpse." Then he squatted beside it and fished.

"You mean... maybe there's an ambush here?" Shi Wei immediately looked around vigilantly.

However, this thatched house was extremely dilapidated. Not only were there a few skylights on the thatched roof, but there were also several holes in the mud walls.

And there is no gate yet.

This really doesn't seem like a place to hide an ambush.

——But it doesn’t look like a place to sleep.

After all, there is almost no temperature difference between indoors and outdoors in cold weather, and the most you can do is to avoid the wind.

So the two of them agreed that the thing on the ground might be the corpse of an NPC, and as for the backpack, it might just be a trick refreshed in the copy.

"Touch it?" Shi Wei gave Xu Hongbo a look, feeling a little excited.

Although this is an "extremely cold world", the background setting of the copy itself does not show that it is always this cold, but is affected by the snowstorm.

Shi Wei and Xu Hongbo encountered many hungry and cold NPCs along the way, and also encountered many players touching items from dead NPCs.

For players, dead NPCs are not NPCs, but treasure chests visible to the naked eye.

There were even conflicts over who was fighting over the bodies of NPCs.

Shi Wei and Xu Hongbo were outnumbered and did not dare to compete with them, so they could only walk around them from a distance.

I didn't expect to find such a good deal in such a small shabby house!

Shi Wei hid at the door to keep watch, while Xu Hongbo walked to Qianyue's side.

When I got closer, I found that this NPC was actually a woman - but in the eyes of players, treasure chests don't care about these things.

“…I’m sorry.”

Xu Hongbo murmured a word of mourning and reached out to the player's backpack. But just as his hand touched the surface of the backpack, the world in front of him suddenly spun around!

“Ouch!”

Xu Hongbo screamed, and then fell to the ground with a "bang", his back hurting!

Before he could recover from the pain, someone stepped hard on his chest again!

"Puff! Cough cough..."

Xu Hongbo opened his eyes and saw that the corpse, who had been lying peacefully, was holding a backpack in one hand and stepping on his chest with one foot. His narrow eyes were slightly narrowed and he exuded a dangerous aura.

The woman asked coldly, "Are you tired of living?"

Qianyue certainly couldn't have imagined that people would make up so many things about her just by squinting her eyes.

In fact, she just hadn't woken up yet.

But this doesn't mean that she is unaware of the dangers around her.

On those truly desolate planets, being lax meant death. Therefore, she would be more vigilant even in her dreams.

"You're not dead?!"

Qianyue looked up when she heard the voice and saw a girl standing at the door. She was probably an accomplice of the guy in front of her.

Qianyue rolled her dead eyes and asked expressionlessly, "Do I look like I'm dead?"

“…”

It's not just a resemblance, okay?! Could it be that the monsters in this dungeon are zombies?!

Shi Wei trembled.

Xu Hongbo thought quickly and said, "Beautiful lady, you misunderstood! We didn't do anything. We just wanted to wake you up!"

Qianyue said "oh" and her tone softened slightly.

Xu Hongbo breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she had listened to him.

He was just about to ask Qianyue if he could move his feet away so they could talk properly, when she kicked him hard in the chest again and asked unhappily:

"You guys have a lot of free time?"

Xu Hongbo vomited blood.

Qianyue said impatiently: "Tell me, the purpose."

Shi Wei quickly glanced at Xu Hongbo lying on the ground, but the latter was completely unable to pay attention to her at this time.

Qianyue: "Okay, Yi."

Shi Wei: "I'll tell you! I'll tell you to let him go."

Before Qianyue could speak, Shi Wei quickly explained, "We thought you were an NPC that had frozen to death, and we wanted to get some items from you."

Qianyue added her previous words calmly, "What a vast expanse of white snow."

Shi Wei: “…”

Xu Hongbo: “…”

Shi Wei gritted her teeth: "I've told you everything, shouldn't you let him get up?"

Qianyue glanced at her and said with a half-smile, "Did I promise that I would let him go if you told me?"

Shi Wei: “You!”

She subconsciously wanted to refute, but suddenly remembered that the other party seemed to have never agreed.

Instead, she was too impatient and subconsciously thought that the exchange was successful.

Shi Wei: I got cheated!

Qianyue yawned. "I guess you've touched a lot of corpses. Then this will be easy. Give me three props, and we'll pretend we haven't seen anything."

Qianyue smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm not picky. Since you guys are so kind in admitting your mistakes, any three props will do."

“!!!”

Shi Wei was shocked.

How dare you say you're not picky! How can there be such a shameless person in the world!

Although they were the ones who offended her first, Xu Hongbo didn't touch her at all!

Instead, she falsely reported the news and even wanted their props!

A trace of anger flashed across Shi Wei's face, but she hesitated for a moment.

"Do you mean what you say?"

Qianyue just looked at her without saying a word.

Shi Wei gritted her teeth, took out a piece of black bread and two isatis roots in her hand, and walked towards Qianyue.

"We'll deliver it one at a time and put it away at the same time—" Before she could finish her words, the Isatis root in Shi Wei's hand disappeared.

The next second, she swung the black bread and smashed it on Qianyue's face. Her ferocious expression was completely different from before!

“Go to hell!”

Shi Wei's reaction was not slow, and her moves were even clean, neat and ruthless, and it was obvious that she had practiced.

If it were an ordinary person, they would probably have been fighting by now.

But Qianyue seemed to have expected it. She raised her head nonchalantly and sneered contemptuously.

"That's it?"

Two minutes later, two people with bruised faces and noses were lying in the thatched hut, begging for mercy.

Qianyue patted Shi Wei's face and said with a smile, "Since you've offered yourself to me, I won't be polite."

"Ten props, anything will do, you guys decide."

Shi Wei suspected that there was something wrong with her ears: "Didn't you just say three servings?" If it was doubled, it should be six servings, right?

Qianyue: "Eleven."

"Are you crazy?!"

"twelve."

"No words? Then ten..."

Seeing Qianyue's shouting getting louder and louder, Xu Hongbo quickly interrupted: "Eleven! That's eleven!"

Qianyue's expression changed instantly, and she said reluctantly, "Well, that's what you said. I was going to say ten servings would be enough."

I don’t believe you at all!

However, despite their inner rage, the two dared not raise any objections. They didn't even dare to hand the items to Qianyue in person, and hurriedly counted the eleven items and put them aside.

“…All ready.”

Qianyue took a glance and saw that there were indeed eleven copies.

She sighed, "You two, just come if you want. Why bring any gifts? It's so embarrassing."

As she spoke, she quickly put the things into her warehouse.

Shi Wei & Xu Hongbo: “…” They were so angry, but they couldn’t beat him!

Qianyue collected the props, and her mood suddenly turned from cloudy to sunny. "Alright, let's go."

I have lived for half of my life, and this is the first time I feel these words are so beautiful!

The two rushed out the door without hesitation, as if there was a ghost chasing them.

Qianyue waved: "Welcome back next time."

She was answered by two figures running furiously through the snow. One of them even fell down after hearing her words.

After all this trouble, Qianyue couldn't sleep.

It has been more than three hours since the game was launched, and night will soon fall.

According to Qianyue's own survival experience, the danger level at night is much higher than during the day, and novices dare not go out casually.

And if nothing unexpected happens, the person who was teleported to this thatched hut with her will also come back.

Therefore, she was not worried that the two men would call for reinforcements to cause trouble.

After thinking about it for a long time and finding nothing to do, Qianyue simply sat cross-legged on the ground and began to check the results of her hard work for most of the day.
