Yu Xiangnan set off to leave.
As dawn broke and the sky began to lighten, she quickly put on her protective suit.
The sea level continues to rise, and most of the city is already submerged. Meanwhile, rising temperatures are increasing the water vapor content in the atmosphere, leading to more frequent extreme precipitation events such as torrential rains.
The torrential rain has been falling for a day and a night.
Yu Xiangnan and Bula were robbed and forced to live outdoors. Fortunately, they found a three-story self-built house to take temporary shelter from the rain, so they were not in too dire straits.
Even while she was stuck in the rainstorm, she didn't stay idle; she used the time to complete two achievements.
drop--
[Achievement Acquired]: Drowned Chicken Unfazed
[Reward]: 15 Conquest Points, 20 Experience Points
[Achievement Acquired]: Let the rain come even harder!
[Reward]: 45 Conquest Points, 50 Experience Points
The rain finally stopped.
Before Yu Xiangnan could even speak, Bula began actively searching for the body.
During this period, she hardly encountered any players, but Shadow Beasts kept coming to her.
One shovelful at a time.
In just half a day, Yu Xiangnan's level rose three levels, reaching level eleven in the blink of an eye.
In her previous life, at this time, she had only recently unlocked her new profession.
Perhaps because it's the first instance and players are in a newbie protection period, there are currently no unfriendly NPCs that appear along with the natural disaster; there are only some not-so-bright shadow beasts.
However... to be honest, her combat power is still too low. Players who chose other professions are probably already dominating the battlefield, while she's still like she's in the Stone Age, using a broken shovel as a weapon.
Moreover, the best way to maximize one's luck is to participate in a lottery.
Just as Yu Xiangnan was trying to figure out how to get more chances to win at the slot machine, a bright red notification popped up.
drop--
Ten days have passed since the official start of the survival period, and the "Top Performer" reward event is about to begin. This event requires no player action; the system will collect statistics.
[In the instance where the top three players in the rankings are located, all surviving players will receive a free chance to play the shop's slot machine.]
[Statistics in progress...]
[The statistics are complete. The results are now being released.]
In the "Corroded World" dungeon, a player has already reached level 15, ranking first in the entire server. All surviving players in this dungeon will receive two chances to draw prizes.
In the "Before the Storm" instance, one player has already reached level 12, ranking second in the entire server. All surviving players in this instance will receive one chance to draw a prize.
In the "When Sea Levels Rise" instance, a player has already reached level 11, ranking third in the entire server. All surviving players in this instance will receive one chance to draw a prize.
[Announcement complete.]
Wait, "when sea levels rise," the player reaches level 11?
Who, her?
Yu Xiangnan was stunned.
She never expected that her current level would rank third in the entire server, that is, third on the level leaderboard.
Regardless, although she was currently ranked third in the entire server, she was well aware of the drawbacks. She would accumulate fewer and fewer achievements, and the remaining ones would become increasingly difficult to complete. Ultimately, to level up, she would have to take the initiative.
To level up, you need to defeat monsters first.
That makes perfect sense.
If only we could find the Shadow Beasts' stronghold.
A thought suddenly struck Yu Xiangnan. He looked down at Bu La and asked, "Wait, can you find any trace of the Shadow Beast?"
[Bula]: What? Didn't you just want the corpse? Why are you looking for Shadow Beasts again?
Actually, Bula was quite worried, since it couldn't go out on rainy days and all the scents were washed away.
We still owe her a corpse...
Yu Xiangnan replied matter-of-factly, "Level up."
She had said it, but then she reconsidered.
Wait a minute, the relationships between NPCs seem to be quite complicated. Many neutral NPCs will choose to help unfriendly NPCs.
Thinking this, Yu Xiangnan asked again, "Are you good friends with the Shadow Beasts?"
[Bula]: No, we all hate Shadow Beasts. They're just troublemakers and not very smart. In your words, they're like pests.
Yu Xiangnan immediately understood.
Pests? So, in their eyes, aren't Shadow Beasts just like cockroaches and rats?
This metaphor is really concise and easy to understand...
As they spoke, the message box refreshed again.
[Note]: A temporary shop will open in five days. At the same time, the supply boxes will refresh again and will disappear 24 hours after the refresh. Please make the most of this time.
The reappearance of the supply crate was unexpected by Yu Xiangnan.
The pace of this life is so fast!
The appearance of supply crates will inevitably lead to a battle for them, and the number of survivors will likely decrease sharply again.
Yu Xiangnan entered the slot machine lottery interface, and sure enough, the number of slot machine lottery attempts had changed from "0" to "1".
Her attack and defense are both lacking, and she desperately needs a skill card. In his previous life, Wei Li chose the class of [Thief], but his god-level skill [Death Rewind] was obtained by opening a skill card. The combination of the two is simply disgusting.
Skill cards, keep using them!
Yu Xiangnan pressed the button, and the slot machine vibrated and started spinning, with the patterns on it changing rapidly, dazzling the eye.
Soon, the slot machine slowly came to a stop, and then a dazzling display of fireworks exploded out.
(★★★★★) [Random Supply Machine]
[Random Supply Machine] How to use: After properly placing the "Random Supply Machine", it will produce one supply every six hours. The produced supplies can be temporarily stored in the Random Supply Machine, with a maximum storage of twelve supplies.
Yu Xiangnan carefully read through the instructions for using the material handling machine.
Although it wasn't the skill card I was hoping for, I was a little disappointed, but this item seems pretty powerful too.
We won't have to worry about supplies anymore, and it also saves us card slots.
Well, she's someone who's easily satisfied.
However, since a new, permanent shelter hasn't been found yet, this thing can't be used for the time being.
The rain stopped quickly.
With its short legs, Bula began searching for traces of the Shadow Beast and the player's corpse. Suddenly, it stopped in an inconspicuous spot.
Yu Xiangnan looked in the direction it was pointing and soon saw an extremely well-hidden entrance.
The ancient, mottled rocks at the entrance are covered with irregular patterns and moss. Looking inside, an endless darkness seems to swallow everything, and a cold wind blows out, carrying a putrid smell that sends chills down your spine.
drop--
[Hint]: You have arrived at the entrance of the (Level 1) [Underground Maze].
