1 Newbie Protection Period - Day 1
◎Gold Finger◎
【Welcome to the highway survival game! 】
A bass voice came to my ears.
Yan Lan was startled and dodged to the side.
There was no one around, so I breathed a sigh of relief.
Just say it!
She has been single for over 20 years and has never had close contact with an adult male. Where did the men come from?
But then she was confused. Where is this...?
She was standing on an asphalt road that seemed to have no end. The road was very wide, with about 50 lanes. It was obvious that it was not a proper road.
Looking around, there is endless tropical grassland all around, with short, yellow and scattered grass, occasionally one or two dry trees, and a few white clouds hanging in the sky.
Yan Lan couldn't help but let out an "Ah?", but the sound was swallowed up by the emptiness as soon as it slipped out of her throat. The eerie silence reminded her that she was the only living person here.
That’s it?
It would be better if a man came!
Just when she was about to let her thoughts run wild, that sexy bass voice rang out again.
【Welcome to the Highway Survival Game. Here are the rules of the game, please be sure to follow them! 】
1. This is a road to disaster.
[2. Each person is randomly assigned a starting means of transportation, and supplies come from treasure chests and supply stations.]
【3. Vehicles can be upgraded, and more advanced vehicles can resist danger. 】
【4. Dungeon tasks are randomly assigned, please be careful with your teammates.】
[5. Disasters occur every 15 days. Please be prepared. Currently, there is a 3-day protection period for newbies.]
6. Do not drive at night. Nighttime is for predators. Staying in your car will ensure your safety.
[7. Death in the game is real death, please cherish your life.]
[Game announcement completed! Please silently read the game panel to open your personal interface! ]
After listening carefully to the system rules, Yan Lan was thinking about the initial means of transportation. She looked left and right, and her eyes finally fixed on the wooden cart that she had deliberately ignored at the beginning.
It was made of wood and looked very worn out, with a layer of dust on it, as if some unwashed cargo had been brought here to make up the numbers.
"Uh, okay."
She had no choice but to accept it and silently recite the game panel.
A high-tech transparent panel instantly appeared in front of her.
The interface is simple and elegant with blue text on a white background, and there is a prominent scrolling entry at the top.
[Map: Tropical Savanna, Number of Game Days: 1, Weather: Sunny, Temperature: 28°C (Summer), Time: 8:00 AM.]
Below is a personal introduction, and on the left is a portrait. The game captured the scene of her jumping when she first entered the game. The portrait can be edited, but she likes this blurred artistic style and is too lazy to change it.
On the right are personal attributes:
[Player: Yan Lan
Age: 21 (nominal age)
Balance: 0
Strength: 50 (upgradable)
Speed: 50 (upgradable)
Intelligence: 90 (upgradable)
HP: 85 (slightly hungry, slightly thirsty)
The maximum attribute is 100. Apart from her high IQ, her strength and speed need to be improved. It seems that she needs more training.
There are 5 sections below the personal introduction, namely [Backpack], [Friends], [Regional Channel], [World Channel] and [Trading Center].
[Backpack] has ten slots, the first of which is already occupied, with "Newbie Gift Pack" written on it.
Yan Lan did not open it immediately, but quickly checked several other sections. The [Friends] interface was empty, the [World Channel] was not open yet, but the [Regional Channel] was bustling with activity.
She silently clicked on it. The group name was the area number and the remaining number of people [Area H-38: 10,000 people remaining]. It seemed that the initial number of people in their area was 10,000.
The group chat is very smart. Not only can you send text, but you can also take photos and send pictures. She saw several people taking pictures of the surrounding environment and sending them to the group, but you cannot use voice or video.
"Where is this? Who the hell dares to bring me here? I'll sue you! My dad is a ***"
"It doesn't matter if your father is the king, just accept your fate!"
"Oh shit! Where's my Lamborghini? How did it turn into a wooden cart? Who's eating something so dark? Beep beep beep..."
"Please be more polite upstairs. What are you saying now that my helicopter is gone?"
"But that female voice just now was so sweet, like Sister Zhiling."
"Is your voice female? This is a male voice, and I sound like a handsome guy."
"It's also tailored to the individual, so thoughtful~"
"Thoughtful? Are you a fool? Didn't you hear the game prompt just now? This could kill people!"
"Wow, brothers and sisters, I'm so scared."
"Don't be afraid, little sister. I will protect you."
"Sister, don't listen to him. Look at his profile picture, he's a fat guy. He can't even protect himself, so how can he protect you? Why don't you look at me? I'm 1.8 meters tall, have eight-pack abs, and am as strong as an ox. How about getting to know me?"
…
Yan Lan didn't participate in a single word. She calmly left the chat group suspended on the interface, exited the regional channel, and then studied the [Trading Center].
[Trading Center] In addition to the game's own system mall, there is also a free trading area for players.
She browsed quickly and found that the items in the system's built-in mall were extremely expensive, and it was obvious that she could not afford them.
Player transactions are limited to this area, with a maximum quantity of 10,000 items. Payment methods can be balance or barter, but there are price limits, probably to prevent someone from exploiting game loopholes and using the trading center as a warehouse.
She casually put the black hair tie on her wrist into the transaction center and set a balance of 1.
【when! 】
A loud bell rang above everyone in H-38.
[Congratulations to player Yan Lan for successfully listing the first item in this area, earning her the title of Leading Merchant and receiving a Silver Treasure Chest as a reward.]
Everyone was completely confused. They followed the vine to the trading center and saw the black, old and frayed hairband. They couldn't help but exclaim "Damn" from their lips.
Condemnations continued in the chat group.
Who is this Yan Lan? How shameless! She even dares to sell a hair tie!
[Shit! You can even get a reward for this? It's like a blind cat catching a dead mouse. I don't accept it!]
[I have to say, some people are just lucky~]
I'm telling you guys, you're just jealous, you can't stand seeing others have a good time. The exchange is there, anyone has the right to list their products. While you're freaking out and begging for protection, others are already figuring out the rules of the game. You really don't have the slightest clue!
[Who is this person upstairs? Why are you speaking up for her like that? What's your relationship with her?]
[That's right, what's wrong with saying a few words? Does it bother you?]
Yan Landuo glanced at the person who spoke for her. His name was Shi Yuanyuan, who had previously said that his helicopter was lost.
"Shi, Yuan, Yuan."
She read it out word by word and couldn't help but burst out laughing. She wasn't being mean, but the name was so unique.
But what he said is indeed right. At times like this, we should do everything as soon as possible. Instead of wasting time talking to these trolls, it is better to dive in and take action early.
She then went on to study the initial means of transportation given by the system - a cart.
As soon as I touched the cart, a light screen flashed out, with the words [Current Level: Cart LV1, Upgrade Requirements: Glass x 10, Metal x 10.]
At the beginning of the game, it was said that supplies came from treasure chests and supply stations along the way, and she happened to have a treasure chest.
With a thought, the silver treasure chest in the backpack appeared in her hand. After opening it, there were three cards in the box, which read [Gasoline 30 units, Metal × 5, Glass × 5]. As soon as the cards were taken out, they fell into supplies.
Yan Lan put all the supplies into the backpack grid, which took up 3 grids. It seems that the same items can be accumulated, and the upper limit is 1000.
The gasoline cannot be used now, but it will definitely be used after the upgraded vehicle, so I have to keep it for now.
Currently, the upgrade requires 5 metals and 5 glasses. Yan Lan looked at the silver treasure chest lying on the cart and had an idea.
【Whether to decompose, yes/no.】
Sure enough, this treasure chest can also be decomposed. A silver treasure chest can be decomposed into 3 pieces of wood and 2 pieces of metal.
Then came the newbie gift package, and she clicked to check it.
[500ml mineral water x 1, purple rice bread x 1, barbecued pork bun x 1, iron stick x 1.]
The iron rod can be used for self-defense, so Yan Lan left it on the cart. She put the remaining three kinds of food that did not have bags into the grid. Together with the supplies from the treasure chest, a total of 7 grids were occupied.
Although she was a little hungry, she gave up the idea of eating because she still had 85 health points to last for a while, so she lifted the cart and walked forward.
Ding.
Another voice appeared in my ears, but it was not the sexy bass voice at the beginning.
[The check-in system has been activated! Please complete today's check-in task! ]
Oh my, the golden finger is here!
She has no father or mother and grew up in an orphanage. All the money she earned as an adult was returned to society. Could it be that she was given a big reward because she was so pitiful and had accumulated countless merits?
Yan Lan looked at the pop-up task happily - [Please make a "yeah" sign to the sky and send it to the chat group.]
It was just like punching in at work, not difficult at all. She stretched out two fingers towards the sky and spread them apart.
There was a "click" sound in the void, and the system sound rang out.
【Check-in successful! 】
[Items Obtained: 500ml of Mineral Water × 1, Purple Rice Bread × 1, Barbecued Pork Bun × 1]
In a flash, the three items were floating in the air. Yan Lan put them all into the grid of her backpack.
So lucky!
It happens to be the same supplies as those in the novice gift pack, so it does not take up new space, and there are still 3 slots left in the backpack.
She continued pushing the cart forward. According to the nature of the game, the first player in their area to level up would definitely receive a reward, so she had to work harder.
While walking, the light screen of the regional channel was always floating on the right side. She would glance at it from time to time, working diligently like a diving fish.
Now everyone has officially entered the game state and started discussing the game content.
"What did everyone get in their newbie gift packs? I only got a bottle of mineral water."
"An iron rod, a bottle of mineral water, and a meat bun."
"I have more than you, one more roll of toilet paper, ahahahahahaha!"
"Toilet paper is good, it's useful if you have diarrhea!"
"If you don't have toilet paper, you can use straw paper. If that doesn't work, leaves will do."
"Come on, there's not a single hair on this road for a hundred miles, where did the leaves come from?"
"There's none on the highway, but have you been to the grasslands outside? There's always some hay there."
"Guys, I've tried, and I can't get out! It's like there's a wall at the edge, cutting us off from the highway."
"Really?"
After a while, the man replied again.
"Oh my god! I tried and I can't get out! Damn it."
Yan Lan pushed the cart forward without stopping and without breathing.
The best thing to do now is to upgrade as soon as possible to get the reward chest, and let them experiment if they hit a wall.
