After leaving the combat state, they walked back, and along the way, the settlement subtitles popped up in front of Tao Sai.
[Characters [Taosai] & [Zhou Ning] eliminated [Protozoa·Juvenile Stage x197], gaining 197 gold coins and 197 experience points;
Eliminated [Protozoa·Growth Period x66], gained 132 gold coins, and gained 132 experience points;
Eliminated [Protozoa·Mature Stage x7], gained 28 gold coins, and gained 28 experience points.
The accumulated experience points in the experience bar are still too low. If you want to gain experience points, then of course you have to gain them all at once.
Continue in the afternoon!
If you don’t have money to spend on in-game purchases, you’ll just have to be a hardcore gamer.
In the game, leveling up monsters can make subsequent gameplay easier. Now, the attribute points gained after leveling up actually improve your abilities, and improving your abilities means improving your self-preservation ability.
It’s a bit tiring, but it’s worth it!
Although Tao Sai was physically exhausted at this time, she was full of faith and felt that she had some of the attributes of a hardworking person.
At noon, they had a hearty self-heating meal and took a cold shower. Tao Sai first used the skill [Deep Sleep] on Hou Zhou Ning and herself, and then set the alarm clock two hours later so that they could rest a little longer.
At 3:30 in the afternoon, Tao Sai was awakened by the shrill alarm clock beside her pillow. She turned off the alarm clock and got up, only to find Zhou Ning sleeping soundly in the bed opposite her.
Tao Sai hesitated, not having the heart to wake her. Today was her first time encountering insects, and she needed a break both physically and mentally. He'd give her time to adjust on the first day.
Before leaving the rest cabin, Tao Sai left her a note, telling her that when she woke up, she could first water the crops in the storage box outside the deck, and if time permitted, she could study the assembly of the wind turbine. The parts and components were all placed in the storage compartment of the fishing boat.
Tao Sai originally planned to install the generator today or tomorrow because their cell phones were out of battery.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Tao Sai arrived near the insect acupoint again. After three hours of deep sleep, she did not feel tired at all.
Only then did she realize how helpful the [Deep Sleep] skill was for players like her who tended to work hard.
After breaking through the rocks, insects crawled upwards in large numbers. Tao Sai skillfully changed into his equipment and went into the [Mall] again, where he bought 10 bottles of recovery potions at one time.
The overworked work has left her unrecognizable, and she will work until 10 o'clock tonight!
The sun set, night fell, and a cool breeze blew. The tip of the spring-loaded knife repeatedly pierced the insects' sturdy head shells, pushing their carcasses one by one into the cracks in the ground. When thirsty, she drank a stamina potion. When tired, she drank another.
In the end, she even felt that her arms were numb, no longer under the control of her brain, and she was just killing insects mechanically and instinctively.
At half past ten in the evening, Tao Sai finally dragged his tired body back to the fishing boat.
The number on the settlement screen showed that she had killed six hundred bugs that night...
Tao Sai walked into the rest cabin, took off her long sleeves, and threw herself directly onto the bed. Zhou Ning knew she was exhausted and had already prepared food for her.
Tao Sai took two bites of his rice and suddenly remembered something. He asked, "Tuantuan, have you seen the generator? How is it? Is it difficult?"
They are both liberal arts students, and just thinking about those complicated circuit components and mechanical engineering is enough to make them feel overwhelmed.
"It's not difficult. I studied the instructions and there's no problem assembling it." Zhou Ning said confidently.
“That’s great,” Towsey said.
But it was pitch dark now, and it was inconvenient to assemble the equipment. Tao Sai didn't have the energy or strength to do so. After she finished all ten bottles of physical strength potions, her body was seriously overdrawn today!
The next day, Tao Sai slept through the night. Her alarm didn't wake her up because her phone had already run out of battery. Considering the inconvenience of running out of power, Tao Sai decided to get the generator working before going to the worm-exue liver experience clinic.
The two liberal arts girls squatted on the deck, studying the instructions diligently and carefully, and assembling each part and electrical component step by step.
At first, Tao Sai was able to dominate, but as the steps grew increasingly complex, she gradually lost track. Fortunately, Zhou Ning stepped in, taking the instructions from her and directing her through the process, tightening screws, connecting wires, and wrapping tape. Following the steps methodically, the parts were gradually assembled into larger units, and finally, the wind turbine's outboard unit was successfully secured to the cabin roof.
There was a breeze on the river, and the windmill's turbines slowly turned against the wind, and the battery showed that electrical energy was beginning to be stored.
Tao Sai patted her shoulder approvingly. As expected of a woman with an intelligence attribute as high as 6 points, the upgrade was not in vain.
Then came the solar photovoltaic panels, which were less difficult. Zhou Ning once again used her intelligence points to easily assemble the components. Tao Sai was responsible for the physical work, and then she climbed onto the roof of the cabin and laid the photovoltaic panels on it.
With the wind turbine turbofan and photovoltaic panels working at the same time, the remaining power displayed by the battery doubled. After the voltage stabilized, Tao Sai connected his mobile phone and laptop to charge them.
Then connect the battery to the electric light on the fishing boat, press the switch and it can be used normally. Tao Sai looked at the energy-saving lamp that was always on with satisfaction, and finally he didn't have to grope in the dark at night anymore.
"Have you rested well? Let's go kill monsters again today." Tao Sai asked Zhou Ning who was washing clothes at the stern and preparing to hang them out to dry.
Zhou Ning: “…”
Zhou Ning resisted briefly, but still followed Tao Sai.
Tao Sai stopped and stood still. The scene near the insect hole was full of reptiles. Most of the weeds and shrubs around it had been eaten. The soil closer to the crack was exposed to the sun.
Tao Sai remembered last night very clearly. Before she left, she threw stones to block the hole as usual, but now hundreds of insects still ran out, which only proved that there were more and more insects below.
It may not be long before the scattered insects will gather into a swarm of insects.
They quickly changed into their gear. Today was a special day, so Tao Sai arranged a division of labor between the two of them. She would clean up the insects on the ground and patch up any gaps. Zhou Ning, like yesterday, squatted at the edge of the rift, assassinating those who had just climbed up.
Tao Sai first decided to clear out the mature insects flying all over the sky. These insects were large in size and more threatening. One of them was almost as big as a normal person's palm. If any of them landed on Zhou Ning, she would be scared out of her wits.
She broke off a long branch and fanned it wildly into the air, knocking the flying insects directly to the ground, then immediately jumped over to finish them off to prevent them from taking off again.
Zhou Ning gradually overcame her fear, and her movements became much more fluid than yesterday. As time passed, their efficiency improved, but physical strength was their biggest enemy, and it wasn't long before their strength began to wear out again.
After cleaning up all the bugs on the ground, Tao Sai stopped and stared at the bottomless crack in the ground, his eyebrows twitching.
Some extraordinary measures must be used.
Among the weapons for sale in the [Mall] was a blasting grenade, priced at just 50 gold coins each. It was quite powerful, so Tao Sai immediately bought one. After donning her goggles, she used her flashlight to illuminate the crack below, unhooked her bracelet, and threw the grenade down.
Four seconds later, there was a loud bang and an explosion occurred near the insect acupoint. The soil and rocks flew everywhere and many insects were blown to pieces.
But the throwing of the explosive grenade was not accurate. At this angle at the top of the crevice, she could not throw it into the insect acupoints, and the damage was very limited.
If only she could get closer to the wormhole, Tao Sai had a sudden thought.
When playing the game "Insect Tide", the game size is fixed, so the game details are limited, the algorithm is also limited, and the player cannot control the character to crawl down the crack in the ground.
But the reality is different, she can do more with her body.
Tao Sai pondered the idea for a moment and quickly came up with a conclusion. She was always very proactive and would immediately implement anything she thought of.
She took out a rope and a pulley from the [warehouse], fixed one end to a big tree, installed the pulley on the edge of the crack in the ground, and then tied the other end of the rope firmly around her waist.
Tao Sai handed the rope knot to Zhou Ning's hand. It was a simple labor-saving lever. Zhou Ning only needed to exert a little force to freely control the height of her hanging.
Tao Sai climbed down the cliff, step by step, with his feet on the cliff. Although this was dangerous, as the saying goes, "No tiger training, no tiger cub." Risks and rewards coexist.
When they were at the right height, she raised her hand to signal Zhou Ning to stop loosening the rope. Holding the flashlight between her lips, she tilted her head and used her peripheral vision to locate the entrance to the wormhole on the cliff. The hole was less than 50 centimeters in diameter, and a constant stream of insects crawled out from this opening.
"Go!"
Without any hesitation, Tao Sai pulled the ring of the explosive bomb and threw it in.
She then kicked off and swung herself out with all her strength. She grabbed the protruding stone at the highest point of the swing. This was the point she had stepped on in advance and was firm enough.
Four seconds later, the explosion at the insect acupoint was deafening.
Tao Sai swung back to her original position and shone the flashlight inside. She caught a glimpse of countless insects struggling and wriggling in the dark environment.
This time, she pulled the rings of four mines at once and threw them in together.
She kicked her legs and swung herself up again. Sensing the enormous power of four bombs exploding at the same time, she opened her mouth to protect her eardrums.
Four seconds later, a loud bang echoed throughout the entire rift valley.
Tao Sai waited for the smoke to clear before returning to the insect's mouth. It was thrilling and exciting. This time, she held a flashlight and peered inside for a closer look. The light shone a chill down her spine. The insects at the bottom surged forward like a tide, countless pairs of tentacles, countless legs, and countless mouthparts constantly opening and closing...
In such a dense and enclosed insect swarm, every explosive bomb can exert its maximum explosive power.
Now is a good time to kill monsters!
Tao Sai gritted his teeth and made up his mind to spend all the gold coins in his account to buy explosive bombs.
It swung back and forth, and she threw at least four bombs in each time, with explosions coming one after another.
After several attempts, Tao Sai climbed to the entrance of the wormhole and confirmed it again and again. There was no movement inside, only a dense layer of insect remains and dust. She then signaled Zhou Ning to hoist her up. As for how many dead insects were inside, she had no idea.
After leaving the combat state, Tao Sai saw the subtitles of the battle results pop up in front of his eyes. The number of insects killed was particularly astonishing, 5889!
Exaggeration, too much exaggeration!
But this is not the end yet, subtitles are jumping in front of my eyes.
[You eliminated [Protozoa·Queen x3], you gained 3000 experience points and 3000 gold coins.]
[You cleared [Insect Blood Level 1] and obtained [Universal Materials x500]. ]
