The three-person group chat kept flashing, and Gu Mian switched to the chat channel.
Xu Kun: "@Gu Mian, little sister, please be careful on your own on the island. Once your backpack is unsealed, we'll use the team card to find you."
Jiang Bai added, "It's best to find a place to hide as soon as you get on the island."
Xu Kun: "Right, right! It's best to just hide!"
Oh no...
Does this mean they're automatically assuming the three of them are a team?
Gu Mian paused for a moment, then replied, "It's better not to use the team card, otherwise you'll be teleported back when the time is up."
After we arrive on the island, I'll find a place to stay and send you the location. If it's not too far, you can come over slowly.
If you live far away, please don't come over for now.
Jiang Bai: "I have a teleportation card. Just send me your location, and Xu Kun and I will teleport there."
Gu Mian: "Um... okay then."
...
Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.
[The first "Survival on a Desert Island" competition has begun, players are currently teleporting...]
With a flash of white light, Gu Mian was teleported to a coastline, surrounded by countless players.
"Oh dear! Why are there so many people here? Did they all teleport together?"
"I don't know. Are there any brothers who want to team up for survival? Let's form a survival team."
"Yes, yes, yes, but I can't cook. I need to find a team where someone can cook!"
...
A group of players were excitedly trying to form a team, but Gu Mian didn't join them. Instead, she quietly moved away from the crowd and prepared to find a place to stay temporarily.
Although she acted very low-key, she had no idea how much attention she was attracting.
Clean clothes, a face so fair it seemed to glow, a cute and playful bun hairstyle, and a light yellow tracksuit.
She looked youthful and energetic.
Who is that?
"I don't know. Do you think she'll agree if I invite her to team up?"
"Why not give it a try!"
Then, a boy who looked to be in his early twenties walked over with a shy expression.
"Hello, my name is Zhou Qingfeng. May I invite you to team up for survival?"
Gu Mian looked up at him and was momentarily stunned by his clean, clear eyes, free of any impurities.
"No need, I have teammates, they're on their way."
Zhou Qingfeng was somewhat disappointed, but still managed a forced smile: "I see... Can we add each other as friends? If you encounter any difficulties on the island, maybe I can help you out."
“Hmm…” Gu Mian pondered for a moment, then glanced into his eyes again, “We can add each other as friends.”
After adding him as a friend, Gu Mian regretted it and cursed herself in her heart for being so easily bewitched by male beauty!
What a terrible thing!
Ignoring Zhou Qingfeng's apparent attempt to say something, Gu Mian turned and quickly left.
...
After walking for nearly two hours, Gu Mian finally found a cave to rest in on a mountainside.
Moreover, there is a small waterfall not far from the cave. Although the water flow of the waterfall is not large, there is a small pool at the bottom.
The water in the pool is very clear, and you can see fish leaping out of the water from time to time.
After finding a place to stay, Gu Mian posted the location in the group chat.
Xu Kun quickly replied: "OK, Lao Bai and I will come find you now."
Gu Mian: "Mm."
As Gu Mian entered the cave, she frowned as she looked at the thick layer of dust on the ground.
The ash inside the cave is so thick that it's impossible to live there without cleaning it.
Stepping out of the cave, Gu Mian looked around, trying to find a tool to clean up the dust.
Got it!
Her gaze fell on the woods not far away; could she try sweeping it up with branches?
The grove didn't look very big, and the trees weren't particularly thick. Gu Mian selected some thick, resilient branches and then snapped them off forcefully.
Using a single branch to tie all the broken branches together, Gu Mian took her newly made "broom" back to the cave.
"Cough cough."
The broom was quite useful, but the dust was too thick, making Gu Mian cough every now and then.
After cleaning it three times, the cave became much cleaner, at least clean enough for people to live in.
After washing her hands in the pool, Gu Mian plopped down on a nearby rock, then opened her backpack and unlocked a compartment for her lunchbox.
She can only unlock one slot per day, so she'll definitely unlock the slot where she stores food first.
On the first day, she could find a place to hide, but she couldn't do without food, and she didn't have any tools at all. She couldn't eat raw food.
As for weapons, could she say she had a dagger hidden on her person?
Originally, she planned to pack some frequently used items into a backpack to carry with her, but then she realized she didn't know where the system would teleport her.
If she were to teleport directly into a crowd, and people saw that she was carrying a large backpack, wouldn't that be blatantly telling them?
Come and take me!
She wouldn't be afraid if there were only one or two people, but it wouldn't work if there were many. Two fists can't fight four hands, right?
Besides, it turned out that she really hadn't thought too much about it. If she hadn't been carrying nothing with her, she probably wouldn't have been able to leave that location so easily today.
...
Xu Kun was teleported to a rock. Looking around, he saw only bare rocks and not a single tree.
Moreover, there are not only stones here, but he is also the only player.
Xu Kun: ...
Which godforsaken place did this lousy system send him to?
The scenery around him was pretty much the same. Xu Kun observed for a long time, but finally decided to give up and just randomly chose a direction to walk forward.
After walking a few steps, I saw a reflective card sandwiched between two rocks.
He crouched down to pick up the card, but before he could see what was on it, a flash of white light and the card disappeared.
At the same time, a new task appeared on his system panel.
[Quest Card: Players who catch a total of ten fish within two days will receive 10 points.]
At the bottom of the panel is the task countdown.
Wow! He's pretty lucky; he found a mission card as soon as he arrived on the island.
Right... this is an environment full of rocks, how is he supposed to catch fish?
Xu Kun fell into deep thought.
Three seconds later, he decided to put the mission aside for the time being; the most important thing now was to meet up with Gu Mian.
As for the mission, we'll have to find a place to do it after we reunite.
...
More than an hour has passed since Gu Mian posted her location in the group chat.
Xu Kun and Jiang Bai were both quite far from her, and even with the teleportation card, it would still take them nearly two hours to walk there.
While waiting, Gu Mian didn't sit idle either.
She went to the grove and found a branch of suitable thickness, trying to catch fish in the pond.
Unfortunately, she had no fishing experience and after trying for a long time, she still caught nothing.
There was even a time when I missed with my first poke, and the fish leaped out of the pool right afterward.
Gu Mian suspected that the fish was mocking her.
