The scene was dark, with countless graves and a mummy wrapped in bandages emerging from one of them.
After seeing the contents of the picture, Gu Mian immediately got goosebumps all over her arms.
Just as I was about to reply to the message after clicking away from the image, a cool breeze suddenly blew by—
[Pollution value +10]
Gu Mian's eyes widened, and the hairs on her body stood on end.
What's going on?
Why did the system suddenly notify her that her pollution level had increased?
[Pollution value +10]
[Pollution value +10]
...
The cold, mechanical voice kept ringing out, and in less than five minutes her contamination level exceeded 50 and was still increasing.
But Gu Mian couldn't find anything that had contaminated her!
As the hot water in the bathtub gradually cooled down, Gu Mian drank five vials of purification potion in one go, then quickly climbed out, dried herself off, and put on her clothes.
In the short few minutes it took from getting dressed to walking into the living room, the pollution level, which had just been purified to zero, rose back to 20.
[Pollution value +10]
Gu Mian frowned and warily surveyed her surroundings. Apart from the occasional gust of cold wind blowing in her face, the living room seemed unchanged.
But this is not normal.
If there were truly no change, why would the system keep indicating that her pollution level is increasing?
Moreover, how could a draft occasionally blow into a room with the doors and windows tightly closed?
This appears to be an invisible monster that attacks by secretly blowing eerie winds into people's faces, thus corrupting the players.
That's so damn disgusting!
Gu Mian spat and immediately took out 99 purification vials and placed them on the table. The transparent glass tubes instantly filled half of the table.
She had no way to deal with this invisible monster for the time being, and could only keep drinking purification potions to fight it off.
With a blank expression, Gu Mian drank a vial of medicine and opened the chat channel to see if anyone else had encountered this situation.
"So many graves! They look so densely packed!"
"I have to say, this mummy looks pretty cool. I wonder what level it is?"
"What, you want to go in and exchange a few blows?"
"Hehe, it's not impossible if these mummies are of low grade."
"You're talking nonsense again. Quickly eat some ice to sober up."
...
?
Why hasn't anyone else encountered the invisible monster like her?
Gu Mian scrolled up the chat history in confusion, only to see the image of the Time Gate sent by Nie Yun.
|???|
Could it be that she was the only one who encountered this?
"Has anyone been attacked by an unidentified object? The kind that increases pollution levels?"
"The big shot is here! Let's take a picture with him \(?ω?)/."
"No, I wasn't attacked by any unidentified object."
Xu Kun: "What's going on? Sis, were you attacked by an unidentified object?"
Gu Mian: "Yes! I can't see what it is, but I can hear the system constantly prompting me to increase the pollution value."
Jiang Bai: "If you can't see what's attacking, you can't fight back, and it will only consume purification potions. How about I pull you over here?"
Gu Mian thought about it and felt that what he said made sense. Just as she was about to agree, she heard the system notification sound—
[Notice: Due to unforeseen circumstances, the winter season will end in one hour!]
[Notice: Due to unforeseen circumstances, the winter season will end in one hour!]
[Notice: Due to unforeseen circumstances, the winter season will end in one hour!]
The chat channel went silent for a moment, then quickly started flooding with messages.
"Wuhu~ This damn winter season is finally over! I don't have to freeze anymore!"
"Great! I've escaped death again. I don't have to hide whenever I see a Yeti anymore!"
"Once the snow season ends, we should be able to leave the raft, right?"
"If all goes well, anyone want to team up to chop down trees? My axe has been itching for a fight for ages!"
Moza: "I don't chop down trees, I mine! I'll buy all kinds of high-grade ores, price negotiable via private message."
At the same time, there was another sound—
[Pollution value +10]
(｀へ′)
What on earth is attacking her?!
Gu Mian was practically going crazy!
[Player Jiang Bai invites you to his raft. Do you agree?]
"Yes!" Gu Mian agreed decisively.
With a flash of white light, Gu Mian appeared in a house decorated in a European style.
The magnificent chandeliers, exquisite carpets and oil paintings, and classic European furniture create a rich and immersive artistic atmosphere.
Gu Mian stood in the center of the room, momentarily finding it difficult to find a place to stand. "Your house is decorated really well."
Jiang Bai came out of the kitchen carrying a tray: "I'm glad you like it."
"What's wrong?" Jiang Bai put the tray on the table and looked up to see that Gu Mian looked strange, so he quickly asked.
"Um...it's nothing." She said it was nothing, but the way she looked at Jiang Bai was still very strange.
A white windbreaker, mustard yellow cargo pants, a few strands of white-streaked hair, and a cold expression—
Damn! Did this guy specifically pick it up?
How come he looks even more handsome now?!
Jiang Bai lowered his eyelashes, avoiding Gu Mian's burning gaze: "...Then come and have a bowl of soup, I just made it."
Gu Mian blinked before turning her attention to the tray on the table.
The porcelain white bowl contains sliced fish and chopped cilantro, with a thick, white broth that looks very appetizing.
Gu Mian scooped up a spoonful, blew on it twice, and then drank it.
The fish soup was clear and sweet, and the fish meat was springy and tender. Jiang Bai immediately gave a thumbs up and exclaimed, "Delicious!"
Jiang Bai relaxed his brows: "If you like it, drink more."
It was worth ruining more than a dozen pots of stew before finally getting this finished product!
Gu Mian: "No problem, I'm actually a little hungry."
Halfway through her bowl of fish soup, she suddenly remembered something and looked at Jiang Bai: "Where's Xu Kun? Why isn't he with you today?"
“On his own raft.” After a pause, Jiang Bai added, “We’re not together all the time.”
"Really?" Gu Mian muttered under her breath, "But I haven't seen you two separate in all this time."
Jiang Bai: "..."
He couldn't refute it!
...
After spending an hour on Jiang Bai's raft, Gu Mian had to admit that she was the only one being targeted by the invisible monster!
grass!
Isn't she a lucky person with a luck value of 9?
She encounters monsters that others can't; is that a sign of high luck?
What the hell is the difference between this person and an African?
In short, an hour later, the winter season came to an end quietly.
There were no system announcements or notifications, only a gradually rising temperature.
In less than an hour, the temperature rose to 0 degrees Celsius.
Gu Mian greeted Jiang Bai and then teleported back to her raft.
Before she even opened her eyes, a wave of heat hit her face, making her so hot that she immediately took off her thick cotton-padded coat.
[Pollution value +10]
Gu Mian: ?
What's going on?
Is that invisible monster still here?
