The first day of the dungeon was destined not to be an ordinary night.
Although the most intense period of volcanic activity has passed, the eruption is still continuing and the flow of magma has not stopped, leaving everything charred.
Only a small number of people sign up for the internal test because they like extreme sports. Most players only participate in the internal test for the reputation of the game. Not many of them have experienced it in real life, let alone understood it in detail.
At night, the surviving players finally found a place to live. Just as they were about to relax and take a rest, they were suddenly shaken by aftershocks and were immediately scared out of their wits.
Many people saw Qianyue riding a dinosaur during the day, so some players also set their sights on these indigenous people, but most of them could not tell what these prehistoric creatures were.
Some people were lucky enough to find an abandoned nest. A few of them stood guard together and at least they could rest for a while. They spent the whole night in fear.
Someone accidentally walked into the territory of a carnivorous dinosaur. Before he could even breathe a sigh of relief, he turned around and saw a pair of eyes as big as copper bells.
Before he could even scream, he appeared in the nutrition cabin in the blink of an eye.
Even Qi Yeyun felt extremely uneasy that night.
She cautiously huddled at the edge of the ostrich-like group. On one hand, she felt Qianyue wouldn't betray her and that this place was definitely safe. On the other hand, she was filled with worry.
Sometimes she was worried that these ornithomimoids would drive her out, and sometimes she was afraid that they would encounter other larger carnivorous dinosaurs that came out to hunt and would eat her and the ornithomimoids together.
She was torn between her conscience and her desires in her mind for a long time, and finally, seeing that her energy level had dropped significantly, she had to force herself to rest for a while.
In this situation, the only one who can sleep peacefully is probably Qianyue.
Early in the morning, Qianyue was awakened by Qi Yeyun's voice.
"Qianyue, do you want to eat some fruit?"
Qianyue opened her eyes and saw Qi Yeyun walking in with a bunch of fruit. As she moved, many of the ostrich-like dragons raised their heads.
Qianyue glanced at the time.
00:03:56
Qi Yeyun probably went out before dawn.
"I've washed it all, come and try it. I wonder what prehistoric fruit tastes like."
Qi Yeyun enthusiastically gave her a small pile, then sat down cross-legged beside her.
Qianyue didn't eat the fruit directly after getting it, but instead put one on the ground next to her.
The little ostrich-like dinosaur, which had been stretching its neck to look, saw the fruit fall to the ground and ate it in one bite.
"..." Qi Yeyun paused while biting the fruit, then realized belatedly that Qianyue was testing for poison.
When she saw that the fruit looked a bit like an apple, she picked it without thinking much about it, but she ignored the fact that it was not an apple.
Qi Yeyun suddenly felt annoyed. How could she even forget this?
Fortunately, the ornithomimus ate it, proving that the fruit should be non-toxic.
Qianyue then picked up the fruit and took a bite: "Is there a water source nearby?"
Qi Yeyun: "Yes, there is a small river less than 300 meters away from the east."
So precise?
Qianyue keenly noticed that the other party's description was different from that of ordinary people.
Thinking about how Qi Yeyun chased her for a long time yesterday, Qianyue asked, "Do you like outdoor sports in real life too?"
Qi Yeyun was stunned: "How do you know!"
She continued, "I like cycling. But I usually follow the main group and take the national highway. I rarely go to uninhabited areas."
Qianyue thought: That’s right.
No wonder she didn't even know the common sense of not using raw water easily. It turned out that she was not going for camping.
After finishing the fruit in two or three bites, Qianyue saw that her physical strength had stubbornly recovered by 1 point.
"...Water sources in the wild are extremely dangerous, and you can't drink raw water directly. You'd better be more careful next time."
The little ornithomimus next to it looked over eagerly after chewing the fruit. Qianyue threw two more over, attracting several small dinosaurs to come and grab the food.
“So cute.”
Seeing this, Qi Yeyun also wanted to feed it, but she treated it as if it were her own pet, and directly put the fruit into the mouth of the little ostrich-like dragon, and in the end she almost got bitten on the hand.
Qi Yeyun: "Fuck."
Qianyue: “…”
Qianyue sighed in her heart, feeling a sense of powerlessness.
If this was her younger brother, she would have slapped him in the face, calling him a little brat who has no sense at all.
It turns out that it is more comfortable to be alone. Taking care of newbies is not a job for a useless person like her.
Fortunately, Qi Yeyun is not the kind of person who would cling to others. After Qianyue expressed her attitude yesterday, she gave up the idea of clinging to him.
But it is indeed difficult for her to survive alone at the moment, so she plans to look for other players nearby.
"Thank you for reminding me so much, big brother, see you again!"
Qi Yeyun put the remaining fruits into his bag, waved goodbye and left the camp.
Qianyue opened her backpack and took a look at what she had obtained today.
A serving of black bread.
It’s better than nothing.
She got up and left the camp, planning to go see the water source that Qi Yeyun mentioned.
Ten minutes later, by the river.
A large dinosaur was drawing water from the river. A little further away lay several amphibians of unknown species. Apart from them, there were almost no other animals around.
Qianyue waited patiently for a while, and only walked forward quickly after the dinosaur left.
The aura of the Tyrannosaurus Rex has not completely dissipated yet, and other small predators dare not approach for the time being. For Qianyue, this is the safest time.
It’s a pity that she has no other means of storing water except the begging bowl.
After Qianyue scooped a bowl, the item description in the backpack changed from [Begging Bowl] to [Begging Bowl Filled with a Bowl of Water].
This is the advantage of the game. She only needs to put the things into the backpack and doesn't have to worry about whether the water will spill out.
After looking around to make sure that no one was around, Qianyue used the sharp edge of the ice pick to cut her clothes, tearing a T-shirt into a belly-exposing top.
She soaked the torn pieces of cloth in water.
The reason why dark rock events are so terrifying is that in addition to the volcanoes and earthquakes they bring, secondary disasters are also a very important part.
It won't be long before the acidic substances emitted by the volcano spread, and the air quality will drop sharply, which will at best affect breathing and at worst cause poisoning and death.
Therefore, Qianyue planned to make a simple mask using cotton cloth soaked in water.
Time was running out, and she didn't have time to worry about whether there were parasites in the raw water. She just soaked it, tied it up and was done with it.
After doing all this, Qianyue planned to go to the jungle again to see if there were any bamboo plants or nuts like coconuts that could be used to save water.
At this moment, there was a sudden ding in her mind.
【Special event function launched】
[Duobao merchant Qi Feng has appeared within a one-kilometer radius of the player and will stay for half an hour. Go find him for supplies!]
One kilometer!
Qianyue looked at her newly-made belly-baring outfit, and then thought about the cloak that she had not yet returned to her backpack. Although she felt a little reluctant, she finally resigned herself to her fate and took a step forward.
What is coming will come sooner or later, so it’s better to explain the cloak matter as soon as possible and then buy some supplies.
In the end, Qianyue found Qi Feng on the edge of a cliff.
Probably to fit in with the background of the dungeon, the clothing of the Duobao merchants has also changed.
The man was wearing a windbreaker and black hiking boots, with a leather suitcase at his feet. He had his arms clasped across his chest, one leg bent, and leaned casually against a rock. His black ponytail fluttered in the wind, making him look indescribably cool.
As if he noticed someone coming, Qi Feng turned around. The black mask covered most of his face, leaving only a pair of cold eyes. His gaze was so penetrating that it seemed as if he could see through people's hearts at a glance.
Qianyue was slightly distracted.
The next second, a girl's scream rang in my ears: "Ahhh Feng Bao is so handsome!"
Qianyue turned around and saw four or five girls coming from a distance.
"This design is so pretty! Mom, I actually fell in love with a paper man in a survival game!"
"Damn it! Why won't the official approve of making a life-size body pillow? Even a player like me who never spends money on the game can buy it all, okay? This is a crappy company! They don't know how to manage money!"
"After this instance is over, I'm going to go to the forum and write a petition in blood asking for my debut! I'll be a virtual idol in no time!"
…
Feng...bao?
ha? ? ?
Thousands of moons are disheveled in the wind.
Is she old and out of fashion? What kind of new nickname is this? Isn't she just an NPC?
Did they also discover the secret that NPCs can be used to increase their favorability? It doesn't seem likely!
Question marks popped up one after another on Qianyue's head. Thanks to those girls, the name "Fengbao" lingered in her mind, and even Qianyue's eyes when looking at Duobao merchant became a little strange.
Duobao Merchant: “?”
Because the place was remote, not many people came. Qianyue only went over after those people left.
She didn’t know if it was Qianyue’s illusion, but she always felt that the moment the other person saw her, his expression instantly turned cold.
Qianyue coughed lightly and said, "I'm sorry, there was a misunderstanding last time. I'm here to return your cloak."
Duobao Merchant: "Just throw it away."
The other party's tone was cold, but Qianyue cheered up, "You don't want it anymore?"
The temperature will probably drop further in the next few days. Qianyue is reluctant to part with the cloak, so it’s just perfect since the original owner doesn’t want it anymore.
"Then I won't be polite."
Duobao Merchant: “…”
His face got even uglier.
But he didn't show any extra expression or movement, just leaning there coldly, waiting for the next player to come and resupply.
Qianyue: "I want to buy something."
The moment the words fell, the shopping panel appeared in front of her again, and Qianyue keenly noticed that there were many more items in the mall.
Masks, mineral water, outdoor water bottles...even essential tools such as sleeping bags and tents.
No wonder I don’t need a cloak, it turns out others have better ones.
It is probably because the props in the last copy were too simple and encountered many complaints from players, so a lot of modern tools were added during this optimization.
But the price is not low.
"A sleeping bag is 700 yen? A tent is 1,300 yen?"
She remembered that the most expensive prop last time was only over 500 yuan, so why did the price go up?
Qianyue immediately went back to look for basic supplies and found that not only the tools at the back, but even things like black bread and isatis root had increased in price.
Inflation?
Looking at the expressionless and unblinking face of the Duobao merchant, Qianyue suddenly had a ridiculous idea in her mind.
Could it be that this guy is raising the price just to retaliate against her?
