41 Ruined City-Day 10
Honor was stolen
On the 10th day of the Ruined City map, the humidity dropped sharply to 40%.
Yesterday, most players were participating in dungeon missions, and few people experienced what 100% air humidity felt like. Only occasionally did I hear a few players complain.
"Ahhh! I've missed the humidity for so long! I miss it so much!"
"I really regret not participating in the dungeon quest yesterday. I've been so wet and slippery all day, it's super uncomfortable. I'll just find a place to hide inside, at least I can get through the day comfortably."
"Oh my god, just thinking about yesterday makes me feel sick. It feels like I'm covered in rotting moss, and if you pick at it, it'll explode in your face. No more words, Yue!"
"I told you to go to the dungeon and fight, but you didn't listen. You must be regretting it now!"
"I regret it! What I regret even more is that I have to listen to you bragging about your dungeon gains later. Tell us what you got so we can be envious!"
"I heard that another group of players have obtained professions/skills. Even those who don't have professions/skills at least got some supplies."
"I've gained the water skill and can produce 500ml of drinking water every day!"
"Haha, I'm a courier, and I have a 50% chance of receiving a package every day. Today was my first time getting a drop, and when I opened it, it turned out to be a bag of sausage. I'm so happy~"
"I'm a farmer by trade. I dropped 100g of millet today, so I can make some hot millet porridge. Oh my god, this is the first time I've eaten hot food here, and I suddenly feel like crying!"
"My job is a cashier. I have a 50% chance of receiving 1 in-game currency every day. Today's balance is +1."
"I don't have a job, but I found a clothing store with dozens of pieces. If you need any, come to my trading center and buy some!"
"I really want to wear beautiful clothes. I got a sack of sweet potatoes. Can I exchange it with you?"
"Sure, sweet potatoes grow the fastest and are very filling."
"Oh my god, you guys are so lucky! I'm tired of envy!"
"I also want to thank Yan Lan for the advice. My pursuer is also a man in black, so it just came in handy."
"Yeah, I almost thought I was going to die here, but when I saw her reminder, I decisively used my skills to save my life."
"666, if I had known earlier, I would have gone too."
"Think positively. You saved your life by not going. Even if you knew the pursuer's weakness, this mission is still very difficult. After all, you have to run non-stop. Didn't you see that the remaining number of people in the dungeon was reduced by hundreds?"
"You have to sacrifice a lot to get what you want. Don't envy others. You have risked your life to get what you want."
…
Yan Lan took a final look at the remaining number of players: 7,800, a full 2,200 fewer than the initial 10,000. No wonder she felt the group chat was much quieter than it had been at the beginning.
The humidity was normal, so she no longer needed to sell dehumidifying tea and desiccant. She had to use her magnification skills on fast-growing flower pots. She put the extra soil into a rubber flower pot and passed it to Ji Zhou, thanking the Extreme Escape copy for its help.
I invited a few friends to have hotpot in the evening, and the regular tasks were arranged during the day.
One hour of physical training, one hour of martial arts training. Due to the continuous training, the strength and speed in personal attributes broke through the bottleneck and increased to 96.
When she reached the top level, every additional number represented a new realm. She could clearly feel that her body was much lighter and her moves became more skillful.
It was already 9 o'clock in the morning when she finished exercising and washing up. Snowball on the sofa jumped up when he saw her coming out of the bathroom, flew to her shoulders and cuddled her affectionately.
Yan Lan glanced at it calmly, wiped the saliva from her face, and understood: "Are you so hungry? Didn't you just eat two kiwis?"
“Chirp~”
Snowball nodded busily, his dark eyes looking at his little master expectantly.
If it could talk, it would definitely be crying out "hungry, hungry, hungry."
Thinking of its playful appearance, Yan Lan chuckled: "Noodles or buns for breakfast?"
When Snowball heard this, he simply slammed her on the butt, flew to the sofa, rolled around on it, and pretended to rub his eyes.
Yan Lan frowned slightly, revealing a puzzled expression. This was the first time she saw it unwilling to eat.
"If you don't have an appetite, then don't eat for now. You won't die if you skip a meal."
Snowball, who was about to cry at the top of his lungs, was stunned. He glanced at his little master furtively. She was wiping her hair with a bath towel, and her expression was serious, not like she was joking.
How can it not eat? It will be hungry!
It knew the time and flew to its little master, licking his face and continuing to stick close to him.
Under the large towel, Yan Lan's lips curled up almost inaudibly. Don't think she didn't know what this snowball was thinking. She must have been greedy after eating someone else's hamburger!
They had noodles for breakfast as usual, but she was considerate enough to lay an egg for the little greedy cat and added a few more slices of vegetables. After the meal, the two of them set out to look for the treasure chest.
Although there are enough supplies, I always feel like something is missing if I don’t take a drive.
Snowball has become an experienced driver, so Yan Lan is not worried about its driving skills at all. After making some toilet paper indoors and putting it on the shelves in the trading center, she installed a TV in the RV.
As soon as the socket was plugged in, the snow screen flashed and then jumped to the normal page. The menu interface was the same as the TV before the game, except that there was a scrolling entry at the top, which was red and particularly eye-catching.
"Remaining usage time today: 2 hours."
It was even time-limited! It could only be used for two hours a day. She flipped through it briefly and then turned it off, planning to enjoy it with her friends when they came over that night.
Since she hadn't encountered any treasure chests yet, she wandered around the trading center. She had heard that players had obtained a lot of good things in the dungeon, so she decided to take a look to see if there was anything she needed.
.
Sun Jing is 35 years old this year. She has been an entrepreneur for more than ten years and has accumulated a huge fortune for herself. At the beginning of the year, she finally married her younger boyfriend who she had been with for 8 years.
She thought she would have a sweet and happy life, but an accident happened while traveling. Her husband, who usually loved his wife, was having an affair under her nose. When the adulterer was discovered, he designed to drown her in the sea.
Just when she was about to die, she came to this survival game. She was devastated at first. On the one hand, her partner of many years cruelly betrayed her, and on the other hand, this game was too psychologically demanding.
But she had been running her own business for many years and had experienced all kinds of hardships. She quickly adapted and her life gradually improved.
She had risked her life to carry out dozens of pieces of clothing for the dungeon mission yesterday, and originally thought that she could sell them for a good price, but she didn't expect that no one would be interested in them like now.
"Ah, so it's this kind of clothes. I'd better not buy it. It's expensive and not practical."
"It's inconvenient for me to escape, please make it cheaper."
"It's too expensive. I can only exchange it for a loaf of bread."
God knows, she ran more than ten miles for this batch of clothes. Not to mention the high price, it should be within normal standards.
A new friend told her that the players in the trading center are very good at bargaining. At first she didn't believe it, but now it is really eye-opening. It turns out that it is difficult to sell non-essential items at a normal price.
Just when she decided to sell it at a discount, a message popped up in the background.
"How are the clothes? Do you have size M?"
Sun Jing's eyes lit up, and she couldn't wait to reply: "Yes, yes, in exchange for food."
"I want three sets. If you want hot pot, I'll give you a pack of beef, a pack of beef balls, 2 pounds of vegetables, and 3 instant noodles. How about that?"
Sun Jing was stunned when she saw the list of materials. Dry bread was common in this game, but hot pot ingredients like this were extremely rare.
She swallowed hard and then took a closer look at the buyer's name. No wonder she was so generous, it turned out to be her!
"I eat it, I love eating hot pot!"
Yan Lan continued her shopping, bought some daily necessities, and spent the afternoon leisurely.
It was almost 5 o'clock, so she cleaned up indoors in advance.
Bowls and chopsticks, cut fruits, washed vegetables, and various meats were placed layer upon layer on the homemade wooden cart.
Just as it was set up, there was a knock on the door outside.
She and Snowball immediately opened the door to greet him: "Welcome!"
Ji Zhou arrived first. He handed over a bottle of red wine from behind: "This is a gift for you."
Yan Lan took the red wine and couldn't help but look at it: "I'm sorry to have cost you so much money. Such a precious red wine must be hard to find!"
Seeing her happy, Ji Zhou's mood was obviously brightened: "It's okay, drinking wine is only fun when you drink with friends."
As soon as he finished speaking, the remaining people were also teleported over.
Shi Yuanyuan grumbled in dissatisfaction when he saw Ji Zhou at the door: "Cousin, I contacted you just now but you didn't reply and I thought something was wrong. But you came here first. You are so disloyal~"
Ji Zhou glanced at him calmly, his face not blushing and his heart not beating: "I didn't see it."
Yan Lan looked at her nose and mouth, and stepped in to mediate at the right time, "Haha, everyone, stop standing and come in and sit down."
The medium-sized RV is spacious enough for one person, but it was still a bit crowded when five adults came in at once. However, everyone was enjoying the atmosphere and didn't mind this little thing.
"Wow! You said we were having hotpot today. I thought there would only be a few dishes, but I didn't expect there to be so many!" Shi Yuanyuan was attracted by the colorful dishes on the cart as soon as he entered the door.
Yuan Zhou and Luo Wen also came over, and several heads gathered around the small cart and talked non-stop.
"I want shrimp paste!"
"And there's also snowflake beef!"
"Cuttlefish balls are good, and I also like flower sausage."
Yan Lan chuckled and went to the kitchen counter to open the red wine.
Ji Zhou followed closely behind, and seeing this, he stretched out his slender hand, and Yan Lan handed over the bottle of wine tacitly.
The two of them got along very well, and the originally normal scene seemed unbelievable to Shi Yuanyuan.
That was his cousin, the cousin who always had a cold face. He had never seen his cousin talk to any girl with a smiling face.
His eyelids twitched, and suddenly an idea struck him: "Have you met before?"
"Yes."
"No."
The two people opposite blurted out, looked at each other, and said in unison.
"No."
"Yes."
Shi Yuanyuan's face was about to turn black at this moment. He felt like he was kicked out of a originally harmonious group of three.
He didn't notice the ambiguous atmosphere between the two of them, but the careful Yuan Zhou and Luo Wen figured out something.
The two looked at each other and saw the air of gossip in each other's eyes. They quickly pulled Erlangzi Shi away to change the topic.
Yuan Zhou: "Hey, please sit down. I'm starving."
Luo Wen: "I'm hungry too, let's eat quickly."
The four guests sat down on the sofa. Yan Lan moved a chair and sat at the head of the table. She was the first to raise her paper cup and said, "Come on, this is the first time the five of us have met in person. Let's have a toast!"
Shi Yuanyuan took a sip of the red wine in the paper cup and savored it carefully with his eyes closed. "It's delicious, with a mellow taste, rich fruit aroma and the smell of oak barrels. I conservatively estimate it's about 20 years old."
Yuan Zhou glanced at him and said with a pout: "It's still 20 years. You can enjoy it slowly. We are going to eat meat."
Yan Lan: "I want one too."
Shi Yuanyuan: "Hey hey hey, how come they're all gone? Where's mine?"
The food on the table smells delicious, and a TV is playing not far away, creating a warm and peaceful atmosphere.
After the meal, a few people sat down to eat the last bit of fruit.
Suddenly, a loud bell rang overhead.
【when. 】
Congratulations to player Sha Renfan for successfully upgrading the first high-end RV in Area H-38, earning him the title of Leading Car Owner and receiving a Supreme Treasure Chest as a reward.
Except for Ji Zhou, everyone present looked at each other in confusion.
The scene was silent for a moment, and after a while, Shi Yuanyuan finally cursed: "Fuck, how could it be a Sandman anime! Where did he get so many upgrade materials?"
He and Yan Lan sold supplies together, so he knew something about the market. They produced so many supplies every day, but they still hadn't gathered enough materials for upgrading. And Sandman was able to get ahead of them just by relying on a pack of cigarettes dropped in a day. This was unreasonable!
Yuan Zhou glanced at the two cautiously and said softly, "I heard that some players are addicted to his cigarettes, the kind that would die if they didn't smoke them."
Shi Yuanyuan said bitterly: "There's no need to get so much material. How much can a pack of cigarettes hold?"
Yuan Zhou: "That's the problem. With so few products available, people are auctioning them off one by one. I heard a single cigarette could fetch up to 50 electronic components. Some people even sell their bodies for a single cigarette."
Shi Yuanyuan slammed the table hard: "Oh my god, this is too heartless."
Luo Wen sighed: "There's nothing we can do about it. Once you're addicted, it's very difficult to quit."
Shi Yuanyuan: "Isn't that the same as a drug addict?"
Luo Wen: "Now I'm sure it contains toxic ingredients."
Ji Zhou glanced at Yan Lan and was slightly relieved to see that she wasn't affected by the news, but he still had to ask, "What are your plans for the future?"
Yan Lan had calmed down. She said calmly, "If he behaves himself, we'll both be fine. But if he continues to cause trouble like before, we'll have to fight to the death."
Yuan Zhou held her hand tightly: "We are a team, we can solve any problems together, and I shot him, he probably hates me to death."
Luo Wen raised his hand: "And me, although I am not good at fighting, I can be your backup."
"Don't forget me. I've been practicing boxing and martial arts every day lately, and I need to find someone to inspect the results." Shi Yuanyuan said, looking at Ji Zhou beside him and sighing, "It's a pity that you're not in the same district as us, cousin. If you were included, we wouldn't have lost at all!"
After he finished speaking, several people looked at Ji Zhou.
Ji Zhou fed a piece of fruit to Snowball who had been rubbing against his hand. Upon hearing this, he raised his clear eyes under his long eyelashes, his manner was gentle but with a sense of distance.
"I guess when the number of players decreases, the servers will be merged, and there should be a chance then."
After saying that, he quickly glanced at Yan Lan. If they could be in the same district, it would surely be more convenient for them to get along in the future.
Yan Lan's eyes lit up and she asked, "Merge? It's very likely. How many players are left in your zone now?"
"7,000 people."
Shi Yuanyuan exclaimed: "So little!"
Ji Zhou: "Well, after all, not every district has leaders like you who care about the players as much as you do."
Shi Yuanyuan sat up straight, his chin slightly raised, and said proudly, "Of course!"
Happy times always pass quickly, and everyone returned to their RVs at the appointed time.
Yan Lan looked at the RV that had become empty again and fell into deep thought. Are they going to merge? That should be quite interesting!
