Xu Kun coldly looked at the players sleeping haphazardly on the ground: "They ran away really fast. If I hadn't felt something was wrong since last night and taken an antidote pill beforehand, I might have really been caught off guard this time."
Jiang Bai: "So what should we do with these people?"
"You don't actually want to wait here for them to wake up, do you?" Xu Kun exclaimed dramatically.
"Of course not." Jiang Bai glanced at him indifferently: "I was just asking if we wanted to earn points."
Xu Kun: "...Old Bai, you've gone dark!"
Jiang Bai's gaze was indifferent; he did not deny it.
Gu Xiaobei: "Uh, are you sure you want to stand here and chat forever? I'm so cold! I want to go eat and sleep!"
"OK, OK." Xu Kun put his hands on Jiang Bai's shoulders and pushed him forward: "Let's just ignore these people and let them fend for themselves."
For such a small amount of points, he'd directly target his own kind; his bottom line isn't that low.
But it was impossible for him to wait here for someone to wake up or for help; he hadn't forgotten the disgusting looks these people had given him last night.
Therefore, letting these people fend for themselves was his greatest act of mercy.
...
At 6:30, snowflakes began to fall slowly from the sky again.
Gu Mian sat by the campfire, enjoying a bite of egg tart and a sip of milk tea.
The hot egg tarts were incredibly creamy and delicious; she could eat one in just three bites.
After finishing two egg tarts, my satiety level returned to 60. After taking another sip of milk tea, my satiety level increased by 1 point.
Gu Mian glanced at the sofa and saw that Zhou Ye was still fast asleep, curled up in the down comforter.
After a moment's thought, she quickly redeemed three intermediate blind boxes. She wanted to open them while he was asleep, otherwise it wouldn't be appropriate to do so openly once he woke up, as she didn't want to reveal her talent.
[Obtained: Multi-functional entrenching tool *1]
[Received: 3 One-Time Hint Cards]
[Received: 10 Hand Warmers]
The above supplies will be doubled.
[One-time hint card: There are many undetectable treasure chests underground covered in soil. Use the hint card to reveal the treasure hunting locations.]
[Heart warmer: When applied to the body, it can raise body temperature by 10 degrees Celsius and is effective for 1 hour.]
Treasure hunting spot?
What treasures might be unearthed?
With that in mind, Gu Mian clicked to use the card.
A text slowly appeared in mid-air.
[Go 200 meters east and you'll see a glowing arrow. Dig for treasure there and you'll get a snow treasure chest full of supplies.]
Got it!
I'm going right now!
Gu Mian casually tore open three heat packs and stuck them on her legs and back, then stuffed the remaining heat packs and disposable reminder card into her down jacket pocket before heading out with her entrenching tool.
After last night's heavy snowfall, the snow on the ground is now almost up to her knees.
With one step, he sank deep into the snow.
Gu Mian: ...
It seems she needs to clear the snow from this area first.
So, she promptly went back into the tent and woke Zhou Ye up: "Wake up, we're digging for treasure!"
Ten minutes later, Zhou Ye, looking completely bewildered, was clearing snow from the tent entrance with an entrenching tool.
That despicable Gu Bapi only gave him five minutes to eat breakfast, and in his haste, he ate one small steamed bun after another, almost choking himself to death.
Gu Mian dug directly east. Fortunately, the treasure hunting spot wasn't too far away. Half an hour later, she finally saw a silver arrow flashing in the air.
Ten minutes later, she finally dug in the direction of the arrow.
"Is this the place?" Zhou Ye asked, slightly out of breath, looking at Gu Mian, who had stopped digging through the snow.
“Yes.” Gu Mian nodded: “This should be it. Let’s dig down a bit more.”
Zhou Ye: "Okay."
This is the best spot; he doesn't want to dig through the snow anymore.
The two of them started digging frantically at the ground.
[Obtained Special Snowfield Treasure Chest *1]
"I found it!" Gu Mian exclaimed in surprise. If she hadn't found it soon, her satiety level would have dropped to 40.
"Yeah, I found it!" Zhou Ye breathed a sigh of relief, finally he didn't have to dig for snow anymore!
"Hehehe." Gu Mian rubbed her hands together, eager to open the box.
[Special supply box; requires a master key to open.]
Gu Mian: "Huh?"
Why do we need a master key?
"What's wrong?" Zhou Ye noticed that Gu Mian's expression was off and quickly asked.
"It can't be opened; only a master key can open it." Gu Mian lowered her head, her tone dejected.
What use is a box that can't be opened to her?
"Is this it?" Zhou Ye's eyes glazed over for a second, and then a silver key appeared in his hand.
Um?
Gu Mian stared intently and saw a line of words slowly appear on the key.
[Master Key: Can open any box.]
Gu Mian's expression was complicated: "You even brought this in."
It's surprising that with only seven usable backpack slots, one would be wasted on a master key that's practically useless.
"Hmm," Zhou Ye said, "I felt we might need them, so I brought some."
"Some?" Gu Mian's eyes widened.
Zhou Ye: "Yes."
"That's great!" Gu Mian clenched her fist and said, "I happen to have several disposable warning cards here. Let's dig them all out later!"
We'll split the supplies from the boxes we dig up!
Zhou readily agreed: "No problem, but we need to replenish our satiety level first."
It would be best if we could rest for a while.
Gu Mian: "After opening this box, we'll go back to the tent."
The heat packs are almost expired, so I need to go back and get new ones.
Open the special snow treasure chest to obtain:
[Snow Rabbit Set *1]
[Multi-functional beverage *3]
[Snow melting agent *3]
[Fried chicken cutlet *1]
[Special treasure chest, talents cannot be used.]
Upon hearing the last system notification, Gu Mian's excitement instantly vanished.
wipe!
He got carried away and actually opened the box right in front of Zhou Ye!
Fortunately, the special treasure chest prevented her from using her talents, otherwise she would have been exposed immediately!
"Hmm..." Zhou Ye said thoughtfully, "This snow rabbit outfit is quite nice. Do you want to try it on?"
"Huh?" Gu Mian's attention was drawn back, and her gaze shifted to Zhou Ye's hands.
A fluffy onesie with two long ears hanging from the hood, the inside of which is light pink, and a short tail at the back of the suit.
[Snow Rabbit Outfit: Super, super, super warm! You should know how warm it is after using "super" three times in a row, right?]
Gu Mian: ...
"Let's go back first."
I always feel like Zhou Ye's eyes light up when she sees something furry. Is that just her imagination?
The items that came out were a mixed bag, and the backpack was restricted by the compartments so it couldn't be put in. Luckily, Zhou Ye's clothes had large pockets, and he managed to stuff the drinks and de-icing agent in.
As for the Snow Rabbit Set and Chicken Cutlet?
The set was in Zhou Ye's hand, while Gu Mian was eating the chicken cutlet, humming a song softly as she ate.
