A flash of white light passed, 428 yen was deducted, and then...
And then it was gone.
Qianyue: "Why do I feel like I've been cheated again..."
Although she knew she had to enter the game to see the specific rewards, it was still a three-draw streak, so what was the point of just a single white light? She should at least give three, to show her appreciation, right?
After silently complaining in her heart, Qianyue turned around and opened the shopping category.
Looking at the dazzling array of goods, she finally put aside her playful attitude, perked up a little, and began to think seriously about what she would need in this copy.
Judging from the short film just now, this copy should be related to the "wasteland".
However, the animation does not clearly state the specific reasons why the world turned into a wasteland - I'm afraid this is also a deliberate foreshadowing.
The game deliberately provides an opening animation in order to allow players to have a certain understanding of what the next copy will look like and to prepare themselves mentally in advance.
But at the same time, the planners were afraid that players would be too well prepared after knowing the content of the dungeon, which would reduce the difficulty of the dungeon, so they deliberately blurred some key information in the animation.
How to grasp this information becomes a crucial link.
Correct judgment will make the preparation of supplies more efficient, while wrong choices will put people in a dilemma as soon as the dungeon starts due to incorrect preparation of supplies.
Qianyue didn't rush into buying anything right away, but instead recalled carefully: "The very first shot of the animation shows the ground shaking and tall buildings collapsing. It looked a lot like an earthquake."
With this little information, many people would probably think that an earthquake had occurred, but Qianyue didn't think so.
She pondered, "Besides earthquakes, there are many other ways to produce the same result. Perhaps this image is a deliberate mind trap set by the game."
"Also, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions have already occurred in the second instance. Relatively speaking, the chances of them occurring again in such a short period of time are not very high. So, we can rule this out for now."
She continued her analysis: "Furthermore, there's fire in the image, suggesting this event was either fire-related or accompanied by a massive temperature increase, causing surrounding objects to instantly combust."
There are not many accidents that can produce high temperatures instantaneously, and explosion is the most common one.
And it can meet the two conditions of "earth-shaking" and "dark clouds" at the same time, so Qianyue is more inclined to believe that some kind of explosion caused the world to collapse.
But there are many kinds of explosions.
A gas explosion, an energy reactor explosion, or a war or firefight, etc., as long as the scale is large enough, can achieve the effect that appeared in the picture just now.
I'm afraid we can only know the specific reason for the explosion after entering the dungeon.
Qianyue thought about it, and her fingertips hesitated for a moment between the gas mask and the mask, and finally chose the gas mask.
Air and water are the mother of all things, but the game does not have too many requirements for water resources, so I'm afraid they will make a big fuss about air.
In addition, Qianyue currently suspected that the background story of the copy was an explosion, so to be on the safe side, she thought it would be better to buy a gas mask.
She muttered to herself, "If the air quality is too bad, it's easy to get sick. Then you have to spend money on medical treatment. It's not worth it."
Ultimately, this little money cannot be saved.
On the other hand, in the previous copies, Qianyue would stock up on several bottles of seasonings, but this time she was careful and exchanged all the money she would have spent on seasonings for bread.
Agriculture will certainly be damaged after the explosion. At best, it will only be a few acres of land lost.
However, if an extremely severe situation occurs - such as an explosion accompanied by radioactive contamination, it is not just the food itself that will be damaged. I am afraid that the entire city will become a barren land for decades or even hundreds of years to come.
Qianyue finally concluded, "The ingredients in this dungeon might not be that easy to find, and the seasonings I bought probably wouldn't be very useful."
A good cook cannot cook without rice. With this in mind, it would be better to just stock up on some black bread.
Although the total price of stocking up on bread seems to be more expensive than seasonings, considering all factors, it is still safer to eat brown bread directly.
With the lazy idea of not wanting to move around in the dungeon, Qianyue's little calculations were clattering.
She didn't want to run herself ragged just for a few supplies.
The same was true for medicines. Qianyue still had a lot of isatis root left from last time, so she focused on stocking up on some expensive anti-inflammatory drugs. In the end, she even took several extra bottles of neuroleptics and put them in her bag just in case.
Someone who used to use up even one item at a fast pace suddenly bought so many items today, and would rather stock up on them even if he couldn't use them all. This shows how cautious Qianyue is this time.
Even though the super mall was having a promotion, after buying all these things, Qianyue only had a little over 100 yen left in her account.
Qianyue: “…”
For some reason, she always felt that her money was not worth spending.
But she thought that she didn't seem to waste much, and every penny was spent wisely - so could anyone really afford the things with such high prices in the mall?
Qianyue complained subconsciously, but she didn't expect to get a response.
“The items in this game store are all of good quality and low price, and are widely welcomed by players.”
"If players have financial problems, the system reminds you that it is better to increase income than to save money."
Qianyue: ...If this "open source" means letting her run business in a full dungeon like Yu Chengyi, then forget it.
Live a little bit every day, lie down until ninety-nine = w =
After purchasing the basic props, Qianyue checked the remaining props in her backpack and found that she only had a small knife and a flint left in terms of tools.
The rest either lost all their durability after being used too many times in the previous copy, or were refreshed and cleared by the copy's effectiveness rules.
Qianyue thought for a long time and was a little hesitant about whether to buy a weapon.
The short film shows that this dungeon is in the city, and maybe there will be NPCs appearing like in the first dungeon.
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Once a riot occurs, you will probably still need to have weapons in your hands.
However, Qianyue was dumbfounded when she opened the weapon classification.
She seemed to have forgotten again: when it comes to weapons, cheap ones are mostly not very practical, and useful ones are expensive.
Qianyue was silent for a moment, and finally went to the tool area to buy a bundle of nylon ropes.
Nylon rope is good. As long as it has a fixed point, it can go up to the sky or into the ground. At critical moments, you can also tie two wooden sticks at both ends and use them as nunchakus.
Qianyue comforted herself, "How can we survive without self-control?"
Angrily closing the shopping page, Qianyue quietly waited to be teleported into the dungeon.
System: "The fourth copy [Above the Wasteland] is now open. Good luck."
heat.
As soon as Qianyue opened her eyes, a dry air suddenly hit her face, as if she had fallen into a desert.
The surrounding environment was as desolate as in an animation, with ruins of buildings and burning sparks everywhere. The wind was mixed with smoke and dust, which made her squint her eyes unconsciously. However, after taking a few breaths, she suddenly felt a faint urge to cough in her throat.
“This taste…”
Gun smoke?
Qianyue reacted almost instantly, her expression changing - "Is this a war instance?"
At the same moment she finished speaking, a sharp air raid sirens suddenly sounded overhead!
Qianyue was startled by the sound and instinctively ran away!
What the hell? I'm caught in an air raid right after I show up. How can I even play this?!
At this moment, the system prompt sounded——
"This round of dungeons is War Ruins, inspired by the kindness of Galaxy General."
"Random bombing will begin one minute after the alarm sounds. Players, please hurry and find cover and prepare for the battle."
"Repeat, this round of dungeon is..."
"Alpaca! They're making such a big fuss right from the start! Do they want to save people? --" Someone nearby shouted towards the sky, almost expressing everyone's thoughts.
However, before he could finish his words, the next second, he seemed to be choked by the smoke and dust. His face suddenly changed, and he lowered his head and coughed so hard that he couldn't straighten his back.
…
Qianyue's heart was also full of excitement, but her feet did not dare to stop.
She originally thought that she had to survive in the ruins after the disaster, but she didn't expect it to be such a routine!
If she had known she would have to avoid artillery fire, she would have saved money to buy a shield first!
One minute is neither long nor short, but it is really difficult for these people who have never been to the battlefield to find shelter in such a short time.
Many people were as anxious as ants on a hot pan, but subconsciously they felt that they should not just sit there and wait for death. Even if they had to run around the place, they should start moving first.
Some players even completely forgot about forming a team and ran in a direction without looking back.
A small number of players were there calling for their teammates, but they couldn't find anyone.
The shrill alarm drowned out their cries, and the panic and noise made the atmosphere even more tense.
For a moment, the ruins were filled with figures running wildly.
Qianyue is no exception, but her destination is very clear.
Although she has never experienced a real war, her growing up experience of fighting is quite special. During the surgical examination, she occasionally encountered emergencies such as faction conflicts.
Compared to others, Qianyue has some experience and will not lose her composure.
She ran towards the collapsed building, observing her surroundings as best she could.
The fire on the ruins was still burning, indicating that an attack had taken place here not long ago.
Therefore, except for a small number of people who are forced to do so, there are almost no NPCs still active on the road.
Most of the people still outside were players who had just been teleported in. At a glance, they were all running at high speed on the ruins with backpacks.
Qianyue's mind was a little depressed and her expression was a little solemn.
In her experience, generally speaking, if you accidentally encounter such a thing when you are out and about, the best way is to follow the indigenous people.
Because they are the only ones who know where the local shelters are, and if they are lucky they can get assistance from local forces.
But judging from the current situation, the indigenous people may not show up in the short term, so this method is obviously unrealistic.
A player nearby wailed, "There are ruins everywhere. Where can I find cover?"
“…” Qianyue was silent.
You know what, the bunker is really the pile of ruins in front of us.
