Day 4 of the game.
Compared to the previous few days, the entire fourth day seemed quite unremarkable.
When the temperature started to rise in the morning, Qianyue removed the reed mat from outside the sunshade net and spread it inside the tent instead.
She had been sleeping on the sand before, and even a raincoat couldn't dispel the dryness of the sand. Now, with a reed mat under her, she felt much cooler.
After receiving her supplies for the day, Qianyue checked her backpack as usual. Besides the tools, she still had the following consumables:
Brown Bread x25, Secret Food x1, Mineral Water x2, Cactus Juice x1, Empty Bottle x3, Isatis Root x10, Bandage x2, Mental Suppressant x5.
"It seems that what is being distributed today is still bread."
The reason why there are still so many black breads left is, firstly, because Qianyue had stockpiled a lot before entering the dungeon, and secondly, because the blood was always drawn with black bread in the past two days.
On the other hand, drinking water also increases some of her stamina, so her bread consumption also decreases. So, for now, Qianyue doesn't have to worry about food.
Instead, she is more concerned about the inventory of basic drugs and inhibitors.
The temperature in the desert can usually drop to below zero at night. In order to ensure that the character is in good condition and does not make mistakes, Qianyue used a lot of medicine to resist the cold when traveling at night in the first few days.
She killed the negative buff as soon as it appeared - even though her health was close to full.
This also resulted in Isatis Root, which Qianyue had rarely used in the previous copies, becoming the item she consumed the fastest in this copy.
The same is true of neuroleptics.
"Send out some medicines and inhibitors quickly."
Although they still had both, if they didn't replenish them in time, they would probably have trouble surviving the next few days. Qianyue even considered getting more cactus juice to exchange for supplies.
But that's all in the past. The supplies Qianyue has can last for at least two more days.
Therefore, Qianyue can now rest in the tent with peace of mind.
As for how other people in the outside world are running around, how hard their lives are, how they fight over a bottle of water or a piece of bread, how they run away in panic to avoid having their camera seat snatched away by others, etc., none of this has anything to do with Qianyue.
At first, some people in the comments were wondering why some players would choose to rest during the day.
Now many viewers have become accustomed to Qianyue's style. When they see her take a break, they tacitly put her live broadcast room aside and use it as white noise for work and study.
Occasionally, new viewers would see the host sleeping on the screen and the number of viewers showing thousands, but the live broadcast room was empty in the barrage, and they would inevitably feel confused.
Is it that they are starting the live broadcast in the wrong way or are the anchors this year too good at it?
Qianyue spent the whole day leisurely fishing until Ji Tong came to her door with a resentful look on his face.
Seeing Qianyue resting in the camp from a distance, Ji Tong was immediately furious. He gritted his teeth and said, "Can't you just go out and walk around more often?"
Qianyue, who was woken up, said: "?"
Just when she was about to ask what was wrong with this man and why he cared whether she went out or not, Qianyue suddenly remembered something.
She opened the virtual map and realized belatedly that because she had stayed in the camp during the day, her red dot seemed to have stayed in the same place for a long time without moving.
No wonder she always felt something was strange during the day. It turned out that no one came to bother her.
only……
Qianyue raised her eyelids, looking like she hadn't woken up yet: "What's wrong?"
Ji Tong: "Of course there is something wrong! You are sleeping here! Those people are all coming to find me."
As he was speaking, Ji Tong had already reached Qianyue's camp, but for safety reasons, he did not get closer, but continued to bask in the sun.
Ji Tong is also a player with a fixed camera position, but the camera position in his hand is different from that in Qianyue's.
He snatched it from someone else.
As the saying goes: A guilty conscience is the hallmark of every thief.
Ji Tong had snatched the camera position from someone else, so he was naturally worried that someone else would snatch his. Therefore, he had always been extremely cautious in this regard.
As early as the second day of entering the game, Ji Tong came to this oasis.
But because he was worried that others would be able to lock his position through the red dot and come to grab the camera position, almost every time the map was about to be updated, he would go out for a few laps, leaving his location somewhere else to mislead others.
Although it is really tiring, the effect is significant.
Even the three people who had lived with him across the lake for several days and had a grudge against him didn't know that he was carrying a camera.
But now, because of Qianyue's appearance, all his plans have gone to waste.
God knows how many times he's been blocked by people on his way out today! He even ran into someone head-on when he returned to the Oasis and got into another fight!
Qianyue: "No wonder I seemed to hear some noise when I just learned to sleep. It turned out that you were fighting."
Ji Tong: "??? How dare you say that! No, you still have the nerve to sleep!"
Qianyue: "...Why are you embarrassed?"
If that person had come looking for her, Qianyue would definitely not sleep. But since he had come looking for Ji Tong, it was none of her business.
Qianyue opened the virtual map: "The red dot has been stuck on my camp all the time. I didn't ask him to look for you."
Ji Tong: “…”
That being said, it's already the fourth day of the game, and players without camera slots are eager to try, while players with camera slots are terrified every hour and can't even sleep well.
Almost all players assume that the positioning of the red dot is unreliable and that they must search near the red dot.
——Who would have thought that there are people so stubborn that they can stay in their position for hours on end!
So Ji Tong, who ran out for a stroll before the hour, got into bad luck and ran into other players one after another throughout the day.
Those people were chasing after him, thinking he was some runaway wife!
At first, Ji Tong thought he was just unlucky, until he ran into the searchers by the lake just now, and then he realized that he was implicated.
But Ji Tong was reluctant to give up such a good camp in Oasis, so he could only come to lobby and condemn Qianyue.
Ji Tong: "Aren't you worried that someone else might lock onto your spot and try to take your camera?"
Qianyue replied: "I was a little worried at first. But after hearing what you said, I feel relieved."
Ji Tong choked suddenly.
What do you mean by relieved? It's because he has taken care of all the risks, okay?!
The man's face suddenly darkened. "Since we can't reach an agreement, then you should just settle the bill."
"Because of you, I ran into three waves of enemies today for no apparent reason. I lost twelve loaves of bread, four bottles of water, and twelve bandages..."
Before Ji Tong finished speaking, Qian Yue said without thinking: "Are you a glutton? Why do you eat so much?"
Qianyue paused, suddenly remembering something else. She squinted her eyes and said, "Besides, before we settle this account..."
"Shouldn't you first return all the things you stole from this camp? They were all my spoils."
Ji Tong:!!!
His face darkened slightly: "Ownerless things naturally belong to whoever finds them."
Qianyue said, "Then remember to drop your backpack before you die."
Ji Tong's face suddenly changed.
What does she mean? Does she want to do something?
He was worried that Qianyue could defeat the three men alone, so he chose to negotiate instead of taking direct action.
But this guy came here just to torture him, didn't he?!
Thinking of this, a trace of anger flashed in the man's eyes. He took out his pistol without thinking, but he didn't expect that the next second, Qianyue suddenly frowned -
"Wait, someone's coming."
Ji Tong sneered: "Do you think this trick will work? I just need to pull the trigger——"
He didn't finish his words when he suddenly froze.
Someone really came.
And he is Qianyue's acquaintance.
The tall man walked out of the bushes by the lake cautiously. When he looked up, he saw Qianyue sitting under the sunshade and Ji Tong pointing a gun at him not far away from her.
The two heard the noise and looked towards him at the same time.
Without thinking, Du Yue raised the gun in his hand and pointed it at Ji Tong, his eyes cold and stern, "Put your hands up!"
Ji Tong: ? ? !
At the same time, in Qianyue's live broadcast room:
"Lord Grim's Thousand Chance Umbrella: It's just a gun, right? You have it, and I have it too (dog head)"
"Little Fairy KIKI: Ji Tong's expression made me laugh to death."
"^奶_: Wow, that guy across from me is so cute!"
"Gugugu: This guy seems to be a streamer too. He said he was a soldier before."
"Click to view: Wow, no wonder. An expert can tell right from the first try."
"I really want to make a rough cut: It seems like that Du Yue knows this young lady? Poor Ji Tong."
The sun sets in the west and the dog rises in the east.
Ji Tong looked at the group of people who were making a fire in his territory and began to reflect on why he was so stupid as to cause trouble for Qianyue.
In fact, the players he had met in the desert before were not particularly difficult to deal with. After all, not everyone could have the heart to give up other supplies and choose a hot weapon.
But obviously, Du Yue is an exception.
"I made a lot of money trading with someone last time, so I'm pretty well prepared before this one. I've left a prop slot for choosing a gun—this pot of water should be almost boiling, right?"
After the game rules were revised, non-prop items obtained in the dungeon could only be used within the dungeon. Therefore, it can be inferred that the pot Du Yue was using now was probably purchased before entering the dungeon.
He even bought a pot... It's obvious that he must have made a lot of money in the last game.
For a moment, Qianyue suddenly felt a little envious, and also felt like someone had slapped her in the face.
Before the start, she thought she was a wealthy woman. But now she could only stay by someone else's fire and warm herself with it—the fire and firewood were naturally brought by Du Yue.
In return, Qianyue provided some information.
Seeing Du Yue was about to move the pot away, she quickly spoke out to stop him.
"This isn't a pure freshwater lake. It would be better if we boil it for a while longer."
Qianyue had collected the water that she had distilled using the solar distiller. Now she was teaching Du Yue how to use distillation to separate fresh water from salt water.
It is a common knowledge among most people that salt can be boiled out of salt water.
Many videos about island survival repeatedly mention how to obtain coarse salt by boiling the sea - when the water is completely evaporated, the remaining crystals are coarse salt.
But few people know that during the process of boiling the sea, the water that evaporates can be collected and used as fresh water for drinking.
If you want to get this water vapor, you just need to stick a circle of water-absorbing things such as towels and gauze around the edge of the pot.
During the sea boiling process, the evaporated water vapor will cling to these fabrics, and finally the water can be wrung into a new container.
After waiting for a while, Qianyue took a look into the pot.
"It's probably about time now. You can take the pot off the stove."
Du Yue took the pot off the stove as instructed. The water inside was almost boiled. In the light of the fire, he could vaguely see a thin layer of white precipitate at the bottom of the pot.
Du Yue: "Is this salt?"
Qianyue: "Yeah, but that's coarse salt, it can't be compared to the refined salt we usually eat."
Du Yue: "Can I eat it?"
Qianyue: "Okay, but eat less."
Coarse salt is different from refined salt. Because it has not been finely processed, its nutritional value is much lower.
Du Yue nodded to show his understanding: "As long as it's edible."
He planned to find something to put it in later, maybe he could use it someday.
Seeing the two of them discussing the coarse salt enthusiastically, Ji Tong also stretched his head to take a look, but unfortunately he was excluded at the moment and could only look at the fire to keep warm.
Even the camel was better off than he was.
Ji Tong glanced at the time and suddenly felt a little sad.
00:13:43 on the night of the fourth day.
Originally, he should have been sleeping in the tent at this time, but now, he had to stay outside.
——Because the tent he stole from the trio’s camp was confiscated by Qianyue.
Du Yue: "What are your plans next?"
Qianyue: "Me?"
She thought for a moment and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, I should stay in this oasis forever."
Du Yue reminded her: "This game can't be so smooth."
Qianyue shrugged.
"It doesn't matter."
This is a natural copy, not a war copy like last time.
So no matter what, she can find a way to survive.
For her, the difference between a harsh environment and a comfortable environment is only whether she can take it easy.
However, she didn't expect that what Du Yue said was right.
