At the summit lies a vast lake, like a huge, flat mirror, reflecting the majestic mountains and the azure sky.
On the water, a group of ducks quacked and swam happily to and fro.
They are about the size of a normal adult duck, with white wings, except for a tuft of orange feathers on their tails.
Xu Kun stood by the lake, looking at the plump ducks, and secretly swallowed.
He wants to eat roast duck.
Suddenly, the lead white duck opened its beak and shot a water arrow at Xu Kun.
"Yo!" Xu Kun quickly dodged the attack, then calmly took out a bunch of darts and threw them at the ducks in the water.
Although the hit rate wasn't very high, it still killed more than a dozen ducks, and the remaining ducks were all frightened and fled in panic.
Xu Kun went into the water and dissected the dead ducks one by one.
[Disassemble the little white duck to obtain 12 duck meat and 120 duck down.]
The duck meat after being processed was a whole duck that had been plucked, which surprised Xu Kun a little, but he was still more pleasantly surprised than anything else.
After all, a whole duck tastes best when roasted!
Just think about the taste of Peking duck: crispy on the outside and tender on the inside when eaten plain, and even more flavorful when dipped in sauce.
"Slurp~"
Suddenly, he swallowed his saliva even more happily.
No, he can't let any of these ducks escape!
He looked up to look for the other ducks, but when he looked up, they had already run far away.
Xu Kun: ...
He hesitated for two seconds before deciding whether to swim over and give chase, but ultimately chose to give up and swam ashore with a face full of resentment.
It's too far away, and we don't know if there are other mutated beasts in the water, so let's be careful.
After getting ashore, Xu Kun inadvertently discovered two ducks huddled in the grass by the shore, shivering.
He was overjoyed and killed it with a dart, dismembering it and putting it in his backpack.
After finishing the decomposition, still not satisfied, I searched around the neighborhood again and found several nests of duck eggs.
It's getting late, so we can start roasting the duck and get ready for dinner!
An hour later, the duck was roasted and Xu Kun invited Jiang Bai and Gu Mian over.
Jiang Bai quickly teleported over, but Gu Mian didn't respond. He invited her several more times, but there was still no response.
I sent a message to @Te in the group, but she didn't reply. I had no choice but to leave her two baked ones so that he and Jiang Bai could eat them first.
Dinner couldn't just consist of roast duck, so Jiang Bai took out the barbecue grill and grilled the meat skewers he had prepared in advance.
The two of them ate with gusto, one holding a roast duck and the other a meat skewer, making passing players drool.
Even after walking several hundred meters, I could still smell the aroma of roast duck and meat skewers in my nostrils, which made my stomach growl even louder.
The player angrily took out his own salted egg yolk rice crust and chewed it dryly.
The crispy rice crust that used to taste so delicious is now hard to swallow.
The more I chewed, the drier and angrier it became. Finally, I couldn't help but open the chat channel to complain: "Family members, does anyone understand?! Seeing other people's dinners, I can't even eat my salted egg yolk rice crust!"
"Hmm? What did they eat that made you so hungry?"
"The salted egg yolk rice crust is so delicious! I love it! If you can't eat it, you can give it to me!"
The player said, "I ate roast duck and roast meat, and also some fruit to cleanse my palate!"
"What's so special about barbecue? There are so many mutated beasts on the island, you can catch just a couple and that'll be enough to feed you for days."
The player said, "I understand the logic... but I haven't encountered a low-level mutated beast that I can defeat yet!"
"Pfft... Excuse me, bro, isn't your combat power a bit low?"
The player: "...That's heartbreaking!"
...
At six o'clock the next morning, a gentle breeze blew by, and Gu Mian woke up with a start.
She never expected to sleep in the open for so long, and she belatedly became frightened. Fortunately, she did not encounter any players with malicious intentions during this time.
After quickly washing up with bottled water, Gu Mian took out the braised pork buns and peanut soy milk she had prepared in advance from her backpack, ate a delicious breakfast, and then opened the map to prepare for the next resource point.
To her surprise, as soon as she turned on the light screen, she saw that Xu Kun had sent her a bunch of messages.
Gu Mian: ...
She replied that she accidentally fell asleep yesterday and went back to studying the map.
There are only a few resource points that can increase attributes. She had already visited the two closest ones yesterday, and there was another one on the cliff on the west side of the mountain.
It will take at least two hours to walk there from here.
After eating a strawberry candy, Gu Mian began her journey.
Along the way, we would occasionally see players, some alone and some in groups. They would glance at each other, wary of one another, and then silently quicken their pace up the mountain.
I wonder how many people have entered the instance!
Along the way, there were hardly any low-level mutated beasts to be seen, and even the fruit on the trees had been almost picked clean!
When Gu Mian reached the top of the mountain, she looked up and saw that the entire mountain was almost full of people.
Gu Mian: ...
She began to suspect that there might be undiscovered resource points on the mountain!
[Announcement: The instance will close early because all resources within it were collected ahead of schedule.]
[Please wait for teleportation, 10, 9, 8, 7... 3, 2, 1!]
A wave of dizziness washed over Gu Mian, who returned to the cave on Fog Island, where she, Xu Kun, and Jiang Bai looked at each other in bewilderment.
Chat channel.
"What? I haven't even entered the instance yet, and you're already telling me it's closed?"
"I just entered the dungeon, didn't see anything clearly, and was teleported back? Almost killed me?"
"They said the dungeon entrance would be open for three days, but it closed after only one day! This is so frustrating!"
"There's nothing we can do about it. Too many people are going in. You collect a little, I collect a little, it'll probably be like a locust swarm passing through."
"Sigh! Another runner-up. I was very close to the entrance and went in immediately. Unfortunately, after working hard for so long, all I got was a bunch of second-tier rabbit meat and a bunch of wild fruits."
Rare and exotic fruits that can improve attributes? I've never even seen them before!
Enraged, I chopped down a bunch of trees to vent my anger!
"Hahaha... You're so funny upstairs! You're killing me with laughter!"
"You're still laughing? I feel like crying!"
"Does anyone sell a panacea? I desperately need one!"
"Aren't almost all the supply crates in the dungeon filled with this potion? You didn't find it in a single crate, did you?"
"I found five boxes, and none of them contained any medicine!"
"You're really ruthless. What did you get?"
"Brother, I'm in a hurry to get the panacea, I don't have time to chat with you!"
"Um... okay, okay."
Upon seeing this, Gu Mian clicked on the person's profile picture, which belonged to a young man named Zhang Liang: "What did you offer in exchange for the panacea?"
Upon seeing the private message, Zhang Liang was extremely excited: "Big brother, how many potions do you have? I can trade you a copy card for one!"
