"Another big shot has appeared. May I ask why they suddenly started collecting so many purification potions?"
"Stupid, it must be related to a natural disaster!"
"Instead of wasting time on this nonsense, why don't you hurry up and go to the trading market to buy up some goods?"
"Damn it, we're too late! All the purification potions in the trading market have already been used up!"
...
From that day on, players began to notice an increase in the appearance rate of masks and purification potions in the supply boxes.
This also confirms that the next round of natural disasters on the deserted island will indeed require such protective equipment, which makes Xu Kun's business even more booming.
Seven days passed in a flash.
[The second "Survival on a Desert Island" competition has begun, players are currently teleporting...]
The scenery on the island seemed no different from before, except that there seemed to be a light mist in the air.
Gu Mian strolled through the woods, searching for a suitable sanctuary.
Before I had walked a hundred meters, I suddenly saw a green corner peeking out from behind a tree ahead.
It is a bronze supply box.
[Received: Protective Masks *10]
[Talent used, gain 20 Protective Masks]
[Failed to pick up supplies; currently unusable in your inventory.]
The bronze box disappeared, and the mask fell to the ground. Just as Gu Mian was about to pick it up, the system notification sounded at the right time.
[Due to increased survival difficulty, supply boxes will be randomly distributed daily in this desert island survival update. These supply boxes cannot be dismantled.]
So this survival challenge will be very difficult?
Gu Mian seemed to be deep in thought. She put down the backpack she had been carrying and put the mask inside.
The protective masks come in sealed bags, with five masks in each pack, enough for ten hours of continuous use.
Gu Mian quickly traversed through the jungle, and half an hour later, she stopped by a stream less than a meter wide.
The stream was clear, with silver fish swimming by every now and then. A bronze box lay quietly at the bottom of the water, with a snake as thick as a wrist coiled on it.
Gu Mian: ...
Or should we just pretend we didn't see the box?
joke!
She must face her fear! Overcome her fear! Conquer her fear!
Cough cough, that seems a bit exaggerated...
In short, with a flash of sword light, the Green Snake guarding the supply box was decapitated.
[Defeat a Tier 1 mutated green snake and gain 10 points.]
The stream water was still a bit cool in the early morning. Gu Mian quickly took off her shoes and socks, stepped into the stream, and retrieved the box.
[Received: Purification Potion *3]
[Talent used, gain Purification Potion *6]
...
"How strange, why is there a mutated beast guarding each supply box on this island?"
If I hadn't been cautious enough, I would have suffered losses several times over.
"It's another trap set by the system. It only said that it would drop supply boxes, but didn't mention that there are mutated beasts guarding the supply boxes."
"Fortunately, they are all low-level mutated beasts. Just be careful."
It seemed she wasn't the only one encountering this situation. After turning off the light screen, Gu Mian observed the two groups of people fighting fiercely over a box.
These two groups of people blocked her way. Gu Mian didn't want to get involved, so she patiently stayed where she was and waited for them to decide the winner.
After about ten minutes, the ownership of the box was finally determined.
The victorious team watched Gu Mian warily. One of their henchmen, clearly getting carried away, looked at the lone Gu Mian and suddenly spoke:
"Boss, there's this woman watching the show all this time, should we go and rob her?"
"Smack!" The boss slapped the underling on the back of the head, staring at him like he was an idiot: "Are you out of your mind? Do you even know who that is? You dare to rob someone? You're tired of living, aren't you?"
Gu Mian: ...
She glanced suspiciously at the scarred-faced leader. Was she really that ruthless?
The scarred-faced gang leader clearly misunderstood Gu Mian's gaze, forcing a friendly smile onto his fierce face:
"This idiot can't speak properly. Boss Gu, you are a magnanimous person, please don't take it to heart."
Gu Mian asked curiously, "You know me?"
Scarface, the leader: "During the last round of desert island survival, I bought supplies from you several times."
"Oh." Gu Mian nodded lightly, then walked past them without saying anything.
Only after Gu Mian had walked far away and could no longer be seen did the scarred-faced gang leader unleash another torrent of abuse on his underling.
"Yellow Hair, don't blame me for not giving you a heads-up. If you continue to be so clueless and talk so carelessly, you might as well leave the team."
Otherwise, if you offend someone you shouldn't one day, we brothers will die with you sooner or later.
The other henchmen also surrounded the blond-haired guy and rattled off a string of words, making him look pale and wishing he could go back a few minutes and cover his mouth tightly to stop himself from uttering those outrageous remarks.
...
As evening approached, Gu Mian finally stopped her search for shelter.
Feeling a bit hungry, Gu Mian picked up some dry branches and leaves from the ground and made a makeshift campfire.
Learning from her previous experience, she bought a large-capacity backpack before going to the island this time.
Before going to the island, I prepared several bottles of water, several servings of self-heating rice, some snacks, a change of clothes, and a lighter.
Now I sit by the campfire, drinking water and waiting for the self-heating rice to cook.
The waiting process was a bit boring, so I casually turned on the light screen and switched to the chat channel.
"We found three supply boxes today. They contained either masks or air purification agents. Luckily, I brought food with me before coming to the island, otherwise we would have gone hungry again."
"Me too. I found five supply boxes, but none of them contained food or water."
"Why did I only find one supply crate? And I even fought a brown bear for ages, while you guys managed to find so many crates?"
"Um, maybe it's because you have dark skin?"
"Oh my god... Stop talking, or I'll start crying..."
Gu Mian was engrossed in reading when the group message lit up.
Xu Kun: "You've been running around all day, and it's all for nothing. Have you found a place to stay yet?"
Jiang Bai: "We couldn't find a cave, so we've decided to spend the night in a tree."
Xu Kun: "Holy crap, bro, are you this wild?"
Gu Mian: "I haven't found one either, so I'll just have to make do for the night."
Xu Kun: "Little sister, you've suffered so much. Tomorrow I'll definitely find the cave and let you be a happy salted fish!"
Gu Mian: "...Then I really thank you."
...
Fifteen minutes later, the self-heating rice was cooked. Gu Mian lifted the lid, and a rich aroma of rice wafted out.
It has the flavor of shredded pork with garlic sauce.
Xu Kun: "Damn, you have no idea what I just stumbled upon?"
"Damn it! My eyes are going blind!"
Gu Mian paused in adding food: "What did you see?"
Xu Kun: "Uh... damn it! How did I post this in the group?! Take it back, take it back, sis, just pretend you didn't see anything..."
If she hadn't felt anything before, Xu Kun's words made Gu Mian even more curious.
"It can't be taken back, what exactly did you see?"
