16 Iceberg Snowfield-Day 4
◎A handy weapon◎
[The player has used a mute card and has been banned from group chat. ]
Not only Yan Lan, but all the other players looked puzzled.
This is the first time that prop cards have been used on such a large scale, and players find it very novel.
"What's going on? The mute card is awesome!"
"Oh my god, it's so nice not to see that disgusting pervert!"
"There's no news about him before. This prop card is too human!"
"Yan Lan, did you do this? That's awesome!"
"You are absolutely my idol! You are beautiful and strong!"
Yan Lan was confused at this time: "It's not me!"
Players: "Who is that?"
Yan Lan: “I don’t know!”
But no matter what, the previous depressing atmosphere dissipated and everyone's mood gradually recovered.
At this time, on an unknown road somewhere, a tough female player running on the snow was distracted for a few seconds before continuing to fight.
There was little wood today, and Yan Lan had nothing to do after selling the charcoal, so she took two oranges and went to the driver's seat to take over driving from Snowball.
It was icy and snowy outside, so she drove very carefully. The RV was heavy, and if the tires slipped, the inertia alone could cripple her. The car was moving very slowly, and the distance that usually took an hour to cover now took a full two hours.
Not to mention the extra time, the amount of supplies discovered was also greatly reduced. She didn't even find the most important wood.
There was a thick layer of snow on the road, and it looked white at a glance. Not even the shadow of a tree could be seen.
Maybe there is, but it is buried under the snow. She can't just take a shovel and dig it out one shovel at a time.
By noon, the sun had appeared a little, but something worrying was happening at the same time.
Yan Lan felt a stinging pain in her eyes, and she actually developed symptoms of snow blindness!
She quickly stopped the car and went to rest inside the RV.
Snow blindness, also known as "solar eye", is an acute light-induced eye disease that causes vision loss mainly due to thermal burns to tissues caused by sunlight reflected from the snow.
Patients may experience stinging, spasms, congestion, photophobia, tearing, etc. in both eyes, and in severe cases, even corneal detachment.
Yan Lan put a cold towel on her face, closed her eyes and rested, while thinking about the things she had to do.
It is simple to avoid snow blindness. In addition to avoiding looking directly at the snow, wearing sunglasses or tinted protective glasses can also protect your eyes.
Making glasses requires glass, rubber and metal, and all these materials are available. All that is needed now is a blueprint of the glasses.
At present, the drawings for anti-skid chains and car roof umbrellas have not been collected yet, and now we have to add the drawings for glasses. It’s only the fourth day after the natural disaster, and there are so many things to deal with.
She also thought about drawing the blueprints herself, but she didn't understand the physical structure and design principles of these things, and accidentally made the protective glasses into glass.
She couldn't just copy, so she had to work hard to collect them. Thinking of this, she felt a little overwhelmed for a moment.
Due to the slippery roads and snow blindness, our efficiency this afternoon was extremely low. We found less than half of the treasure chests we usually find.
Most people in the group are like this, and there are constant complaints about this.
"I'm dying, I'm dying. My eyes are starting to feel hot."
"That's snow blindness. You need to protect your eyes!"
"There's no cover, and I have to go find a treasure chest. I only opened one in the afternoon. How am I going to survive tomorrow?"
"Your treasure chest still has a few pieces of wood after decomposing it, but I've been sitting here motionless all day!"
"Ahahaha, I have to say I'm so lucky! During the novice period, I exchanged a blueprint with Yan Lan and got 80 toilet paper and 80 charcoal. At that time, I thought charcoal was a pile of shit, but now I think it smells really good."
"Fuck, 80 pieces of charcoal! You won't be able to use them all even after this disaster ends. Honey, can we trade? I have something good!"
"Private chat."
"I want one too!"
"Damn, I just saw the news. I guess it's not my turn. It's going to be -10 degrees Celsius tomorrow. Life is really tough!"
"The charcoal is gone, and in a few days the food will be gone too. I feel sad."
At this moment, the long-lost system broadcast sounded.
【Copy mission notification! 】
[The random dungeon will begin on time tomorrow. Please be prepared. Required item: one dungeon card. Duration: 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM.]
This broadcast continued for three times, and even people who were sleeping could hear it.
The group chat was boiling again.
"Oh my god, what should I do if I feel like crying when I hear about the copy!"
"Great! I can finally escape from this cold weather for a while!"
"I need a copy card, does anyone have one?"
"I happen to have one."
"I don't have any yet! If anyone has any, please offer a high price!"
Yan Lan was extremely excited. Tomorrow's dungeon mission might be a turning point. They would not surrender so easily.
In preparation for tomorrow's copy, she specially organized the compartments of her backpack and put everything she didn't need for the time being in the RV.
Except for the upgrade materials, the rest were placed in a large wooden box, freeing up several grids, so that if supplies are found tomorrow, there will be space to store them.
At the same time, she made several handy tools on the workbench, such as shovel, hoe, axe, etc. Although they were not exquisite in appearance, they were practical.
After the sorting is completed, the system will send a "ding ding ding" message reminder.
It turned out to be an old acquaintance. Come to think of it, I haven't chatted with her since we added each other as friends.
Yan Lan opened Yuan Zhou's chat box, and the other party's words were concise and clear: "Do you have any extra copy cards?"
Yan Lan: "Yes, what's wrong?"
Yuan Zhou: "I want to exchange a copy card with you."
Yan Lan pursed her lips and said, "It depends on the value of the item you are trading."
Yuan Zhou sent a picture: "Is it worth enough?"
Yan Lan clicked on the picture and enlarged it.
This is a beautiful ice-blue bow, named Frost Moon Bow. The bow is made entirely of ice crystals and is shaped like a crescent moon. A glowing blue gem is inlaid in the middle. It exudes an icy aura, which perfectly matches the snowy scenery.
This was a bow and arrow that suited her taste in both appearance and practicality. Yan Lan was attracted by it at first sight.
Before she came to the game, she often went to the archery hall and had good archery skills, which was just right for self-defense.
However, Yan Lan was still a little curious: "Where did you get this bow and arrow? Why don't you keep such a good bow and arrow for yourself?"
Yuan Zhou made no attempt to hide it: "I encountered a snow monster today, and this is the treasure it dropped after I defeated it. I didn't use it myself because it's too delicate and not suitable for me."
Snow monsters? Are there monsters now?
Yan Lan unconsciously sent this out.
Yuan Zhou: "Yes, it was hiding behind the treasure chest. I was almost ambushed by it, but luckily I reacted quickly and dealt with it."
Yan Lan couldn't help but feel curious about her identity since she could make cleaning up seem so simple. She clicked on Yuan Zhou's profile picture.
The profile picture shows a short-haired lady wearing a tight-fitting outfit, with a firm look in her eyes and a straight back.
[Name: Yuan Zhou, Age: 23.]
Apart from these two items, all others are hidden.
Yan Lan didn't ask in detail: "Well, this treasure is too precious. It's a bit of a loss to just exchange it for a copy card. Is there anything else you want to exchange?"
Yuan Zhou thought for a moment and sent a message: "Is charcoal okay? I haven't collected any wood these days, and it's a bit cold."
Yan Lan handed over a copy card and 50 charcoal without saying anything: "OK, no problem."
She has 3 copy cards, so it's no problem to replace one.
The bow and arrow was also exchanged, and Yan Lan held it in her hand, loving it very much.
The bow and arrow comes with a quiver containing a bow and arrow blueprint, probably for fear that there will be no more bows and arrows when they are used up.
I have to say, this deal is very worthwhile.
The performance of the manufacturing table is enhanced by the prop card. In addition to halving the production time, there is also a one in a thousand chance of obtaining attribute items. This probability can be converted into a cumulative number of times.
Yan Lan had saved up several opportunities to make charcoal before, but she hadn't used them all up now.
A bow and arrow with attributes requires 1 metal and 1 glass. She put the materials on and clicked to add attributes. This time, the manufacturing took a full 5 minutes.
Five minutes later, a sharp bow and arrow shining with silver light appeared before his eyes.
[Bow 1: Skill stun, can temporarily freeze the enemy, cooldown time: 1 hour]
This is actually an arrow that can be reused infinitely, and it will automatically return to the quiver after use.
Then she made another one.
[Bow 2: Skill penetration, can cause fatal damage to enemies from a distance, cooldown time: 1 hour.]
As for the one-hour cooling time, Yan Lan felt it was a bit long, so she made two arrows of each function and used up all the attribute probabilities.
At the same time, she also made 20 ordinary bows and arrows. One ordinary bow and arrow only requires one piece of metal, which will not be automatically recycled and will cause consumption.
With these, I feel safe for tomorrow's dungeon mission.
All players were on high alert, and the next day, the long-awaited dungeon mission finally arrived.
