Yu Xiangnan returned to room 711.
In just two days, all 26 of her Shadow Orbs were sold out on the [Player Online Trading] platform, bought by more than a dozen different players, and her stall became the top seller on the platform.
The second-best stall is called "Unique in the World," a small food stall that specializes in selling a wide variety of local specialties.
Although he didn't know the stall owner's name, Yu Xiangnan could basically guess the occupation the stall owner had chosen. By checking the occupation list, he could identify a few possible candidates.
Because, among all professions, none is easier to identify than the "Master Chef".
This profession allows players to sense the distribution of ingredients within a certain radius, easily spotting wild fruits hidden in the grass or roots buried underground. The profession's skills also help players acquire ingredients through various means to prepare dishes.
It seems the stall owner's refreshed skill was successful, without any deviations.
Upon closer examination, even if players enter the rest area, the most scarce resource will still be food. Therefore, they will choose to buy delicious food to satisfy themselves and have a good meal.
In short, the world cannot exist without cooks.
At this point, there was less than a day left before the next instance.
Yu Xiangnan used up the two random item cards in the card album and the three chances to draw from the mall slot machine, and finally got (★★★) HP recovery card*2, (★★★★★) defense card*1, (★★★★) abyss pet egg*1, (★★★) extra large luncheon meat can*1.
Five-star items are very rare, and she hadn't expected to draw a defense card as well.
But looking at my own luck score, I can understand why.
She now has 8 three-star healing cards in her card collection. Healing cards are one-time consumables that restore 10 health points per second for 30 seconds after use.
As for Abyss Pet Eggs, she had no idea what they were. After clicking on the details, the system prompted that a [Pet Egg Incubator] was needed to hatch the pet egg.
This thing can't be hatched for the time being.
Over the past three days, numerous trending posts have emerged on gaming forums. One post speculated on the identities of various skilled gamers; another was about rescuing players, recounting various grudges and feuds, drawing in all sorts of gossip-loving players and creating quite a spectacle; and yet another post featured game guides and professional analysis of items and skills posted by a kind-hearted individual.
The short break is over.
Yu Xiangnan was teleported to a void, and at the same time, a emotionless mechanical voice rang out.
[Countdown begins, 3, 2, 1...]
[The game has officially started; dungeons are being randomly selected...]
[Yu Xiangnan (ID: H00), Dungeon: "Mutant City"; Number of Players: [Number]; Preparation Period: 1 hour; Survival Period: 30 days.]
[Please note that the respawn time for supply crates is currently unknown. Please wait for further notice for the exact time.]
The blinding white light once again engulfed our vision.
Yu Xiangnan opened his eyes to a bright and bustling scene.
She found herself standing in the middle of a bustling crowd, surrounded by a cacophony of sounds: conversations, screams, and the shrill laughter of clowns.
These sounds intertwined, leaving Yu Xiangnan momentarily disoriented.
Looking around, it appears to be an amusement park. The colorful rides gleam in the sunlight, and cheerful music fills the air.
Unlike the first instance, the people here are not players, but "NPCs".
Moreover, the preparation period was shortened to just one hour, which made her feel a sense of urgency.
Yu Xiangnan frowned, just about to move away from the noisy crowd for the time being, when suddenly an exclamation came from the crowd: "Oh my, whose dog is that? It's so cute!"
"Its fur color is so different, is it a Corgi?"
These sounds were particularly jarring in the noisy amusement park, causing Yu Xiangnan to pause slightly.
At the same time, a chat window popped up.
[Bula]: Help me! Help me!!!
Yu Xiangnan was startled, as if realizing something, and struggled to squeeze into the crowd. Upon closer inspection, he saw that Bula was being tightly surrounded by a group of people.
Some people were taking pictures of Bula, while others were taking photos with Bula.
She soon met Bula's resentful gaze.
"Excuse me, this is my dog... I have something urgent to attend to, I have to go now."
After saying this, Yu Xiangnan gave everyone an apologetic smile, then picked up Bula and quickly fled from the crowd.
Only then could I breathe a sigh of relief.
"What's going on?"
[Bula]: I was sleeping when I was suddenly teleported here.
[Bula]: Luckily, I folded my wings in time, otherwise these foolish humans would have noticed anything amiss.
As he spoke, Bula wore an expression that seemed to crave praise.
[Bula]: By the way, do you have an animal called "Corgi" here?
Yu Xiangnan nodded. "Yes, a kind of dog."
[Bula]: ......
From now on, it will get angry at anyone who calls it a Corgi.
Yu Xiangnan and Bula quickly left the crowded amusement park.
My brain was working at high speed the whole way.
If there are other players in this instance, it won't be possible to rush into the supermarket and buy things for free like before.
The name of this instance is "Mutant City," so it must be related to viruses and mutated creatures, maybe even a zombie virus or something. If various natural disasters occur, the difficulty of the instance will skyrocket.
If she gets arrested by the police for robbery, and then a virus outbreak or a mutated creature attack occurs, she'll be digging her own grave.
Using an invisibility cloak isn't out of the question, but she has plenty of supplies, so it's possible but unnecessary.
Yu Xiangnan was somewhat speechless.
Time was of the essence, so she quickly took out her electric scooter from her card book, and suddenly a familiar figure emerged from the public restroom on her left.
Yu Xiangnan: "!!!"
