Gu Mian simply ignored all the private messages from people who wanted to buy on credit.
She processed the private messages from players who already had goods and sent trade requests before starting to process those who wanted to trade with other resources.
After a busy morning of processing orders, Gu Mian was just about to take a break when she saw a very familiar profile picture.
Hua Xinrui: "Mianmian, can I borrow 30 bottles of mineral water? I'll pay you back as soon as the competition is over!"
Gu Mian: ...
If she remembered correctly, they had a falling out before because she refused to give away supplies for free, and she was even blocked and deleted.
What's going on here?
As if nothing happened? And yet he immediately asks to buy 30 bottles of mineral water on credit?
Gu Mian found it utterly absurd, and her face hardened: "Small business, no credit."
Hua Xinrui had ample supplies, so she thrived when she first arrived on the deserted island.
But she also has a young boyfriend to support, and besides being very handsome, he's useless in every other way.
As time went on and supplies were not replenished, she began to feel the strain.
By now, she had almost no drinking water left in her backpack, and her appearance had become disheveled due to lack of water and neglect.
Upon seeing the reply, Hua Xinrui's gentle and intellectual face suddenly turned somewhat harsh: "Gu Mian, why have you become so petty?"
"I'm just asking you for some water on credit, not asking for it for free. Why are you being so cold and heartless?"
"Yes, I am that cold and ruthless. Don't come looking for me again next time." After sending the message, Gu Mian immediately blocked and deleted the other party, not giving them a chance to complain.
It's incomprehensible. She clearly remembers that when she first met Hua Xinrui, she wasn't like this at all. Back then, she was warm and generous, and the two of them had a pretty good relationship.
Why does being in a relationship feel like being possessed?
This is absolutely outrageous!
Hua Xinrui looked pale as she stared at the system notification that she had been blacklisted.
Zhuang Yizhou glanced at her expression: "Does that person not agree to drink water on credit?"
"Hmm." Hua Xinrui forced a smile: "Baby, don't be afraid, I'll look for other friends."
...
[Day 25 of Survival on a Desert Island, 5:00 AM, Sunny.]
Today's temperature is 52℃-62℃.
The rising temperatures every day have pushed many players with weaker constitutions and limited resources to the point where they can no longer hold on.
The chat channel became even more lively, with dozens of messages being sent almost every second, as if all the players were currently crowding into it.
The number of ice boxes in the cave has increased to five, but even so, the temperature is barely maintained at around 28°C.
Moreover, the ice melts extremely quickly, requiring it to be remade almost every two hours.
Thankfully, a few days later, she found new dry ice spray and a water tap in the box; otherwise, she really wouldn't have been able to live like this.
As of today, 25 slots have been unlocked in the backpack. Some miscellaneous supplies occupy 10 slots, leaving 5 empty slots for future use, and the remaining 10 slots are for 99+ bronze chests.
A few days ago, the system launched a new feature that allows players to give points to each other. So, Gu Mian has been trading all the bottled water and other drinks she got from the boxes with other players for points.
She now gets her water from a water storage tank, which she fills herself from empty bottles.
A bottle of mineral water costs 10 points, a bottle of dry ice spray costs 100 points, and a faucet costs 500 points. This pricing can be described as a real benefit.
It's not that she didn't want to price it higher, but rather that she considered that this price would give more low-level players a better chance of survival.
She did this not because she was a saint, but because she always felt that the system was up to no good. The player mortality rate was too high. She didn't know if there were any downsides, but she was sure there wouldn't be any benefits.
It was still early, and she didn't have much of an appetite, so Gu Mian took out her daily ration of 99 bronze boxes from her backpack and began opening them.
[Mineral water * 80]
[IOUs * 50]
[Ice Cubes * 300]
[Dry Ice Spray * 20]
[Magic Faucet *5]
[Milk-flavored Cookies 100g*10]
[Spicy Beef Jerky 200g*10]
[Potato chips * 6]
The above supplies will be doubled.
There are 5 days left in this competition.
Having already reserved enough dry ice spray and water taps to last until the end of the competition, Gu Mian planned to trade away all the supplies she opened from the boxes today, except for snacks.
Zhou Ye: "Do you have any faucets in stock? I'd like two."
I had just opened the chat channel and hadn't even started editing my message when Zhou Ye sent me a private message.
“In stock.”
The moment the message was sent, Zhou Ye's gift points arrived in her account.
Gu Mian: "...You're quick."
Zhou Ye: "Of course."
...
Xu Kun and Jiang Bai are now completely living a nocturnal lifestyle. Although they don't lack supplies in their backpacks, the competition is going on for too long, and they can't just sit around and do nothing, or let Gu Mian, a girl, support them.
So even though the nights are getting shorter, they still insist on going out every evening and returning in the early morning.
Whether it's doing quests, hunting, or racking up points, they're never idle.
Jiang Bai had just finished a mission and hadn't even had a chance to use the signal gun when he heard a deafening roar. Then, a huge figure sprang out of the dense forest beside him at an incredible speed.
It has brownish-yellow fur, multiple horizontal narrow black stripes on its back and sides, and several black stripes on its forehead that are connected in the middle to form the Chinese character "王" (king).
Judging from its physical characteristics, this is undoubtedly an enlarged version of a Siberian tiger.
[Mutant Siberian Tiger: Tier 6 mutated beast, HP 1000, Attack 300, Speed 5000.]
Upon seeing the stats of this enormous mutated beast, Jiang Bai's eyes widened in astonishment. This was definitely not something he could handle in his current state!
Standing frozen in place, Jiang Bai dared not move an inch, for fear that if he moved, the big cat would think he was provoking him and pounce on him with its claws.
Judging from his excellent eyesight, if that big cat were to unleash one of its ferocious claws, he would probably be smashed into a pulp.
The enormous mutated beast, over three meters tall, approached the stiff-bodied Jiang Bai with elegant steps.
Feeling the breath spraying on his head, Jiang Bai's forehead began to bead with cold sweat.
The big cat circled Jiang Bai twice, and seeing that Jiang Bai was still motionless, a sly smile flashed in its eyes, and it reached out its paw to poke him a couple of times.
Jiang Bai had no choice but to grit his teeth and fall to the ground with the force of the big cat, where he was then tossed and turned on the ground for a long time.
Finally, as dawn approached, the big cat had had enough of playing and, with a satisfied flick of its tail, walked towards the distant dense forest.
Jiang Bai was left lying on the ground, looking dazed and as if he had been completely ruined.
