Chapter 3 Code
[There is a small copper mine to the west, but the squirrel monsters living in the pine trees there are difficult to deal with.]
[There is a bronze treasure chest to the east, which may contain what you need. ]
That’s it. Is there any need to think about it?
Shu Lingyi immediately turned to the east: "It's so nice to see a treasure chest right above me!"
She was still somewhat expectant, wondering what good things would come out.
There were also many people discussing this matter on the public screen, and they were discussing which direction to go after leaving the straw hut.
[Happy Sweet Potato]: "I'm going east! Go towards the direction of the sun. At least I know the way back."
【Innocent and Evil】: "I'll go to the south... I hope nothing will happen to me."
[Qing Ben Zhi Ruo]: "My intuition tells me to go west. I don't know where to go anyway, so I'll just go west."
Shu Lingyi just happened to see this comment, and then looked at this ID. Isn't this Luo Zhiqing's favorite ID? !
She immediately stopped in her tracks, and then used her mind to send a private message to Luo Zhiqing: "I will be at the top of the world!"
The other end was also stunned for a moment and immediately followed up with the message: "All the mountains are small at a glance!"
[Yi Ling]: "Palace Jade Liquor."
【Qing Ben Zhi Ruo】: "One hundred and eighty per cup."
After confirming that it was his roommate Luo Zhiqing, Shu Ling was so excited that his eyes lit up.
[Yi Ling]: "Zhi Qing! How are you now?"
Luo Zhiqing was also very happy after exchanging the secret code with Shu Ling. Her situation was similar to Shu Ling's at this time. When she was not speaking on the public screen, she had already set out on the road to the west.
[Qing Ben Zhiruo]: "I'm fine. I haven't encountered any problems on my way here. And the further I go, the less fog there is at this location on my map."
[Yi Ling]: "That should be the case. We need to go there ourselves to see the road we have walked before we can get a map."
Players will naturally not be given maps of places they have never been to. The unknown means risks and must be handled with caution.
Perhaps it was because they found a companion here, Shu Lingyi and Luo Zhiqing's anxious hearts suddenly settled as if they had someone to rely on.
The two of them started chatting as they walked in the directions they chose.
[Yi Ling]: "I don't know how Ranran and the others are doing. Do you think they are also in this service area?"
Observing the lower right corner of the public screen, there was a number 10,000. Shu Lingyi guessed that should be the number of people in this area.
When this game was released to players, it was said that there were 1 billion players in total who had been screened. According to the game settings, it is definitely impossible for them to be crowded in one area, right?
That means if the districts are divided into groups of 10,000 people, then this number would be… 100,000 districts?!
Shu Lingyi was shocked again, but in this case, the probability of her meeting her other two roommates and her parents would be even lower!
"Oh, thank you so much..." Shu Ling walked straight all the way, but she didn't see the bronze treasure chest that Xiao Ai mentioned for a long time, which aggravated her bad mood.
[Qing Ben Zhiruo]: "One by one, check the public screen. A player has already died!"
Shu Lingyi immediately switched to the public screen to check the news, and sure enough, the number 10,000 in the lower right corner had been reduced to 9,985.
Fifteen people died at once?!
Shu Lingyi was surprised by the number. The public screen no longer showed the messages sent by those deceased people. It was just like in a dream, all traces were wiped out when they died.
"Some people just encountered tigers? Some encountered lions and wolves. Doesn't it say that animals sleep during the day?"
"It's normal to have one or two people who don't sleep. After all, isn't this kind of survival game just to make it more difficult for me to survive..."
"It's so scary. I don't even dare to go out. Which way should I go..."
[Yi Ling]: "Don't be afraid, sister upstairs. Since they said that the beasts sleep during the day, the active ones must be a minority. There are at least 10,000 people in our area. The probability of one in a thousand is not too big or too small."
Shu Ling thought about it carefully and realized that this was exactly the case. In the message that Bao Kuai Xiao Ai gave her, the big brown bear and the difficult squirrel were also sleeping.
"If you ask me, what's there to be afraid of? You might as well take a chance since you're going to die anyway. If you don't dare to go out and fail to repair the hut at night, your chances of dying will be even higher."
[Qing Ben Zhiruo]: "Indeed, the hut and the fire are the last layer of protection for the player in this kind of game. Once something happens to the hut and the fire, the player will surely die."
Ninety percent of people don't dare to be cowardly. Since they are going to die anyway, they might as well give it a try. As for the rest who are just waiting to die, there is nothing much to say.
As soon as Shu Ling put away her life core, she finally found the bronze treasure chest that Xiao Ai mentioned in the forest full of weeds and trees.
"Hehe, my little baby, so you were hiding here!" Shu Ling smiled with curved eyebrows, like a second-rate guy who saw a beautiful woman, as if his saliva was about to flow down.
Greedy in capital letters.
But she did not dare to let her guard down. She held the stone axe tightly in her hand and moved closer to the bronze treasure chest.
[Congratulations to the player for obtaining the bronze treasure chest. Do you want to open it? ]
The cold mechanical voice of the system sounded, and Shu Ling nodded slightly: "Open now!"
[Congratulations to the player for obtaining a Broken Copper Axe*1. ]
The bronze treasure chest disappeared, and a bronze axe appeared in Shu Lingyi's personal space. She took out the bronze axe and compared it with the stone axe in her hand.
[Broken Copper Axe: This is a broken copper axe, dark in color, with a few cracks on the edge of the axe, but it can still be used for a while. Durability: 50, Attack: 25. ]
[Stone Axe: One of the beginner's props, a simple and unpretentious stone axe, a good friend for you to chop trees. Durability: 30, Attack: 15. ]
Shu Lingyi could only say that there would be no harm without comparison. She randomly picked a locust tree nearby and chopped it down with a stone axe.
The forest where she was was quite large, and there were many species of trees in it, but the ones displayed by the system were all ordinary trees.
After being cut down, there will be a simple health bar displayed on the locust tree. For example, this locust tree is at around 45.
She swung her stone axe and chopped down, causing 23 points of damage to the tree. Two chops were enough to chop down one tree.
Wood*1.
Take another look at the durability of the stone axe, it has dropped by two points!
"Wow, are you kidding me? Two points of durability equal one piece of wood, so my stone axe can only chop 15 pieces of wood, right?"
Shu Ling was dumbfounded. He had just praised the system for its generosity in giving out treasure chests, but right after that he was slapped in the face!
With 30 durability points, can you only chop 15 pieces of wood?!
"Do you have to be so miserable..."
Shu Ling wanted to check the public screen, only to find that there were people who were even more miserable than her!
At least she has two points of durability to chop down a tree, but some people need three points, not even two points.
In the end, the stone axe may be gone and you can only get 10*wood.
"No, we have to think of another way."
Shu Ling looked around and saw that the trees were of all heights, sizes, and shapes, but some of them were more special.
Not far from the locust tree she had just chopped down, there was a big locust tree that was not only thicker and taller, but also had a darker bark color, and it also emitted a faint green light around it.
"This tree... is a little special."
Shu Ling swung up the stone axe, intending to chop it down to find out what was going on. After chopping it down, he could see that the health bar of the big locust tree had doubled.
She just chopped with an axe and caused 23 points of damage, and the locust tree still has 77 points of health, so it will take about five chops to chop down the tree...
Shu Ling cut down the tree with a truth-seeking attitude, but he didn't expect!
I actually got 7 pieces of wood!
