64 Coastal Floating Bridge-Day 10
◎Ranked No. 1◎
A total of 35 players were finally confirmed to participate in the battle to capture the Cannibal Island. Except for Ji Zhou and Shi Yuanyuan who already had guns, the rest of the players did not have guns and were attracted by the generous rewards.
After the reward notice was issued, Yan Lan quickly took out her crafting table and crafted 33 pistols for Ji Zhou. She then took the last 1,000 ores from her backpack and crafted them into bullets for him to use as he pleased.
After a bunch of supplies were sent over, in exchange, Ji Zhou sent Yan Lan the piece of metal fragment that she had been thinking about.
"No, no..." She felt a little embarrassed to accept it. Although arms were extremely valuable in the survival game, these supplies were not for him. It was just a small obligation as the district chief.
"If you think I've been at a disadvantage, how about giving me a discount on bullets in the future?" Ji Zhou suggested.
Yan Lan thought about it and agreed. Bullets are rare, and metal fragments are equally precious. No one will lose out if the two are exchanged.
1,000 was a considerable number, but Yan Lan was still somewhat worried. The rate of ammunition consumption during combat was difficult to predict, and it was unknown whether these 1,000 bullets could last until the end of the mission.
More importantly, she had no more ore in stock.
Ore is the key material for making bullets. Even if this crisis is over, there will be next time, and the next time?
Thinking of this, she felt a sense of urgency and couldn't wait to start contacting people everywhere to purchase ore from various players.
After working hard for most of the day, I only managed to collect 500 of them, scattered from several players, but at least it could temporarily alleviate the urgent need.
She figured if she was truly desperate, she could always buy more in the system store. While each ore cost 10 yuan, her personal balance was a whopping 60,000 yuan, so this was still within her budget.
The 10th day of the Binhai Floating Bridge is the day for the district qualifying competition to be concluded.
District H-38 originally held the second place in the rankings, but the situation changed dramatically at the last moment.
Ji Zhou led a group of players armed with guns and, after studying the map given by Yan Lan, cleverly used the unique geographical advantages of the Cannibal Island to ambush and set traps in the dangerous terrain, causing the cannibal tribe to be surrounded without realizing it.
Under his command, the players cooperated well, won the battle with fewer troops, and finally successfully defeated the cannibal tribe, winning a large number of points. The ranking of H-38 district soared to the first place in a very short time.
This round of qualifying has concluded successfully, and the Honor List has been announced! District H-38 takes the top spot, followed by District S-25... Congratulations to the top five regions! Rewards have been distributed immediately, please check your receipts.
Before the system announcement had faded, the group chat, which had been bustling with activity just a moment ago, fell silent. Everyone impatiently clicked confirm, eager to receive their rewards immediately.
A few seconds later, the group chat became lively again, with messages pouring in.
"Haha, the system said I didn't complete the special mission and only got the basic reward. Do you know what the reward is? A free 5-day trip to the reward supply station! Plus a gift pack of random supplies! When I opened the gift pack, it turned out to be a box of instant noodles. Hey... the packaging said 24 packs, why is there one missing?"
"It's obvious you didn't read the reward instructions carefully. The system automatically deducted the missing packet and gave it to the district chief as her subsidy."
"Wow, then Yan Lan will be able to receive a lot of supplies!"
"Of course not! There are 9,500 people in the district!"
"If Yan Lan hadn't provided so many guns and ammunition, our district wouldn't have won first place. I'm willing to give them to her."
"I'd give it to her too!"
"A free five-day trip sounds amazing! The environment there is pleasant, food and lodging are free, and it's safe and worry-free. It's a true vacation paradise! The small subsidy given to the district mayor is simply not worth mentioning."
"Oh my god! This isn't a random gift pack, this is a class draw card! God knows how long I've wanted a class!"
"Professional card draw?! If I had known earlier, I would have risked everything and tried my best to complete the mission. Ahhh, I regret it so much!"
"My mission points are average, and the reward is a low-level skill card."
"Skill cards are pretty good too. Learning a new skill can significantly improve your strength. I'm so jealous~"
Judging from player feedback, quite a few players have obtained professions and skills this time.
On a raft that was almost falling apart, Yang Xue and Su Tong couldn't wait to check their rewards, and then they spoke almost in unison.
“I got a career!”
"I gained skills!"
Yang Xue asked: "What is your occupation?"
Su Tong couldn't hide the smile on her face. "I'm a farmer. My profession drops agricultural products every day. I feel like the pressure of finding supplies will be much less in the future. Sister Xue'er, how about you?"
Yang Xue was also looking forward to it. "I gained the cooking skill. The food I make has a 5% chance of gaining special attribute bonuses, such as increasing physical recovery speed or improving defense. We can sell it or eat it ourselves in the future!"
Elsewhere in the game, Wang Da was lucky enough to draw his dream profession—Pastry Chef, which randomly drops a dessert every day. Seeing this profession, he was so excited that he almost cried. He'd been through a hard time these past few days, but it was finally rewarding.
Such things happen constantly in every corner of the game, but it is worth mentioning that only players in the top five regions in the qualifying competition have the opportunity to enjoy special rewards.
Because District H-38 ranked first on the list, it naturally became the object of everyone's envy. Not only did it enjoy the highest honor in the game, but it also received more generous rewards than other areas.
As the district chief, Yan Lan’s rewards were different from those of other players—in addition to the subsidies paid by the players in her district, she also received an extra piece of precious metal fragment.
She learned that other district heads also drew subsidies and additional rewards, but none of them were metal scraps, which were unique to the top-ranked district.
She currently has a total of 4 metal fragments in her hand. The first one is the reward for the RV upgrade, the second one is exchanged with Ji Zhou, the third one is the reward for the mysterious island mission, and the fourth one is this one.
As long as she collected five pieces, the puzzle would be complete, and she couldn't wait to know what kind of treasure it would be. So she asked again on the regional channel and the world channel, but all of them turned up in vain.
No one responded to her. Yan Lan couldn't help but sigh. She thought that she shouldn't be too impatient. She might just run into someone while walking one day.
Thinking of this, she felt much more relaxed, so she leisurely strolled to the entrance of the capsule. She set up two outdoor lounge chairs and a small table piled high with freshly washed fruit. She grabbed the unfinished comic book from last time and ate while reading.
The capsule warehouse is placed by the river, with gurgling water, singing birds and fragrant flowers, which is very pleasant.
After reading comics for a few hours, she got tired and put the book down and started to take inventory of her supplies.
These days, her magnification skills have not been wasted. She magnifies the soil every day and stores it in the grid of her backpack. There is a grid in the backpack specifically for storing soil. Judging from the volume, it is conservatively estimated that it can cover 50 square meters of land.
She has been diligently checking in every day for the sign-in system, but she has been unlucky recently and has not received any good rewards.
I stole half a day of leisure from my busy life. Leisure time always passes quickly. Night has fallen quietly. Outside is a dark forest, and the roar of one or two wild beasts can be heard from time to time.
Yan Lan called back Snowball, who had been playing outside, and they and the elf entered the capsule. The capsule had a built-in 5,000-point defense value and was also noise-isolating. Although small, it felt like a safe haven, giving a full sense of security.
After a good night's sleep, Yan Lan woke up again at 6 o'clock in the morning. Unlike the usual tranquility, there was a burst of noise coming from outside the door.
Yan Lan frowned, feeling a little out of place. Suddenly, she was startled, opened her eyes abruptly, and then realized - today was the first day of enjoying the free 5-day tour of the supply station!
After 12:00 a.m., all the players in Area H-38 were teleported here. However, she slept very soundly that night, and the supply station was nothing new to her, so she did not witness this moment.
Yan Lan stood up and looked around. Although the layout of the room was slightly different from what she remembered, she recognized it at a glance as being on the second floor of her RV because there were graffiti drawn by Snowball on the wall.
So she returned to the RV, but where was the capsule cabin from yesterday?
She immediately opened the compartment of her backpack and searched, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the familiar capsule in the compartment. She had spent a lot of materials to make this capsule, and she felt sad to see it gone.
The RV had changed a bit since I left it, like a few streaks of sewage on the walls and a broken railing on the second-floor balcony. The first floor was even worse, with mud all over the floor and nearly all the glass windows shattered.
She tried to start the engine, but only heard a dull roar. Obviously, some part of the machine had stopped working due to water ingress.
She curled her lips and secretly complained that this game was indeed not so kind.
Although there was a capsule cabin, the space was still not as big as the RV, and she still had to continue living in the RV, so she quickly took out a car repair card from the backpack compartment.
The card flashed, and the damaged parts were repaired instantly. Then a cleaning card was used, and the inside and outside of the RV suddenly looked brand new.
The traces of sewage vanished without a trace, the broken railings were seamlessly reattached, and the cracks in the windowpanes healed miraculously, becoming as clean as new. Fortunately, she had so many function cards, otherwise she would have had to clean manually.
When she left the RV, she put all the things she could take away into the compartments of her backpack, and when she came back she put all these things back.
The RV was once again arranged warmly and tidy, and Yan Lan nodded with satisfaction.
Just as she finished tidying up and had no time to rest, there was a crisp knock on the door. When she opened the door, she saw Ji Zhou, Yuanyuan and other familiar faces. She was a little surprised to see a group of people appearing at the door in an orderly manner.
"Hey, why are you guys together so soon?"
Ji Zhou looked at her and smiled: "RV parking spaces are allocated according to the level of the vehicles. Our levels are high and similar, so it's natural that we're assigned to the same place."
Yan Lan nodded in sudden realization: "So that's how it is."
Outside the door, groups of players were walking by with brisk steps and unconcealable excitement on their faces.
Yan Lan immediately realized that Ji Zhou and the others had come to have breakfast with her, so she said hello: "Wait for me for a moment, I'll clean up and be right there."
