Chapter 211 Desert Journey
"Rong Yi, please accept my condolences."
The weather was cold and damp in the rain. A young girl with brown hair, dressed in a black dress, stood with an umbrella in front of two tombstones, where her mother and grandmother, who died in a plane crash, were buried.
Rong Yi remained calm.
Upon seeing this, the woman who had just spoken to her sighed and turned to leave.
Rong Yi's biological father is unknown, her mother has never mentioned him, and her maternal grandmother also doted on her. There were three women in the family, but Rong Yi lived a very happy life. Her privileged upbringing allowed her to be herself to the fullest.
But her two closest relatives who loved her most were gone.
The mourners had all left, leaving her standing alone in the rain.
At that moment, Rong Yi felt very lonely and wanted to cry.
A few minutes later, she threw down the umbrella and ran away.
Fine rain pattered on her face, forming raindrops that blurred her vision. Rong Yi bit her lip tightly, feeling a surge of anger that she wanted to vent.
"ah--!"
Rong Yi's heart-wrenching cries echoed through the cemetery.
He tripped and felt a loss of balance. Rong Yi didn't feel any pain, but instead found himself in a blank space, where there was only endless white.
[Host Rong Yi, I am Adventure System No. 005. Welcome to the Bloodline Binding System. From now on, I will embark on an adventure with you.]
·
Rong Yi slowly opened her eyes. After absorbing the last insect crystal and reaching the tenth level of strength, she began to recall her past.
Before being bound to the system, her life was carefree and unrestrained; it was during that time that she learned her fighting skills.
The sudden death of a loved one triggered a profound shock that awakened her bloodline. After being bound to a system, she became a loner, and with each adventure, the flaws in her bloodline became increasingly out of control.
In the end...
She nearly destroyed a world, prompting the system to urgently lock down all forces, including the system's own.
The system sent her to a world with little energy to avoid the storm, or perhaps she would stay there forever.
Unexpectedly, the violator chose that place and made it look like an alien abducting a human, throwing the unconscious woman into the instance.
After going through many twists and turns, she regained her memory and remembered the past.
[You're awake. Dream analysis: Rong Yi, you've regained your memories.]
"Yes, thank you. If I had really destroyed a world back then, headquarters would have destroyed me."
It's not just about physical annihilation, but also about the soul.
[You're saved this time, but you need to find Wei Yanqing as soon as possible. The violators deliberately separated you. I don't have enough permissions right now to contact Wei Yanqing's system, and it's the same on the other side.]
This is really troublesome, but thankfully she's much more stable now, and even if there's a big battle, she won't easily lose control.
This time we arrived in a world purely based on resources. The system, which has been unlocked to 50%, can scan the entire planet, leading to this conclusion.
This world is inhabited by intelligent natives, and everything on the planet is a valuable resource, which is why it can be called a pure resource world.
Abundant resources mean a high level of danger.
This is a planet covered by desert, seemingly uninhabitable by life. But the real dangers lie underground. The surface is certainly not safe either, but compared to the underground, it's like paradise.
The scorching sun from above forced the creatures here to evolve a membrane over their eyes to prevent them from being blinded by the sunlight.
Rong Yi was in a cave at the moment. An unknown creature had carved a hole in the rock. There were no other creatures here when she arrived.
When he first arrived, he was almost steamed to death by the high temperature, so Rong Yi changed into a functional suit, which not only had the function of keeping the temperature constant, but also prevented the evaporation of moisture from the skin.
Her outer garment was layered with wrinkles, her slender calves were encased in a pair of matching long boots, her thick long hair was completely covered by a hood, and she wore something resembling a gas mask on her face, which was integrated with the hood and sealed at the cuffs. She held a molten dagger in her hand.
From Rong Yi's current perspective, all that can be seen is sand and gravel, with only a few rocky hills, where most of the creatures on the ground live.
The boundless desert offers little shelter, and the scorching sun provides nowhere to hide. The yellow sand absorbs a massive amount of heat, and any creature walking on it without protection will be evaporated in just a few seconds.
Because of the mask's function, Rong Yi could look directly at the sky, and even though there was only one sun, it appeared as if there were seven suns.
This planet is so vast that without any means of transportation, it would take her a hundred years to travel the entire globe on foot.
Looking at the vast desert, Rong Yi didn't even know which direction to start walking, and he had no clue where Wei Yanqing could be.
"How long can you find it by luck? Isn't there any other way to roughly determine the location?"
We can't let her stay here for over a hundred years.
[Once the progress reaches 60%, you can share your location with Wei Yanqing's system once. However, I must remind you that although this is a resource planet, most of the energy is found within living organisms, and most of these organisms do not have energy aggregates. This means you will need to use the system's trading interface to exchange for enough energy stones. Fortunately, the progress has reached 50%, so this function is now available. Given what you have done in the past, listing your location for sale will definitely cause a stir, so you must hide your location.]
"Yes, your words are more valuable than any other words."
Even if we can find someone, we still need to figure out how to reduce it to 60%. But it's also a reminder that we can't openly advertise our name to sell things.
[Now we need to use energy stones to hide your location. Because your previous privileges were quite high, headquarters didn't have time to find you and manually revoke your privileges. Now that you're hidden, headquarters won't be able to locate you easily. In addition, the violator is covering it up, so we can hold out for a while.]
"Understood. See if you have enough energy stones in the storage compartment. If not, we'll figure something out."
That's enough.
Rong Yi: "..."
Stepping out of the cave, even though he was wearing high-quality functional clothing, Rong Yi could still faintly feel the heat of the sun, with the heat being most intense on his head and the soles of his feet.
She crouched down, plunged her gloved hands into the yellow sand, and scooped out a handful of sand. The sand and gravel slipped away like sand through her fingers. "I never imagined that this planet was covered with star sand. It's truly a world rich in resources."
Stardust is one of the rarer resources in the adventure world, and it is usually found in environments similar to this planet.
Very few planets have such a specific environment. On most planets, the soil is baked into dust under the scorching sun, and the edge of the desert is nowhere to be seen.
Stardust is a great ingredient for refining artifacts. Adding just a little to exotic iron can greatly improve the quality of the artifact, and the trading interface buys it in large quantities year-round.
Since Rong Yi could see things everywhere, he wasn't in a hurry to collect large quantities. He decided to look for other interesting items first.
Turning to look at the hollowed-out stone pillar where he had previously taken temporary shelter, he saw a "Extreme Yang Stone," a resource usable by fire-attribute users, which was quite expensive.
Seeing that there were few rocky hills on the desert, Rong Yi reached out and placed his hand on one of them to collect it.
When we were collecting them, we discovered that although there were few stone blocks, most of them were buried under the sand, making it a veritable stone mountain.
"This should fetch a good amount of energy stones. Xiao Wu, take it and sell it."
Rong Yi used to call her "Xiao Wu" when they were first bound together, but she hasn't called her that since the bloodline flaw went out of control.
The system, having not heard this title for a long time, felt a sense of déjà vu: [Already Available]
Rong Yi clenched the Blazing Flame, gazing at the seemingly desolate world in the distance, "I hope he doesn't go too far away from me."
After saying that, he pulled his hood tighter and walked forward, his steps uneven.
