Chapter 267: Survival at Sea, Day 12 (9) My First Experience of Watching a Movie in the End of the World...
Yu Miaomiao didn't understand why Tingting suddenly changed her mind.
It might be related to the liquid, or it might be that witnessing the plants slowly getting better reminded her of something, but considering Tingting's current physical condition, this was the most appropriate choice.
By the time the second bottle of liquid was half used up, the half-person-high stone pillar had completely transformed into an emerald green lotus. Then a pink bud slowly grew in the middle of the lotus, becoming an extremely conspicuous presence in this gray-white world.
The water level behind her also rose by two or three centimeters, because the flooded area just covered half of her footprint, and another seven or eight centimeters would flood the entire beach.
The two waited for another two minutes, and that was the only visible change in the environment.
The intangible gray mist in the air still lingered around, and the lake was as quiet as before.
Tingting was the first to break the silence. "We should collect the blue liquid from all the bucket treasure chests and pour it into all the stone pillars. Only then will the lake water cover the entire gray desert and the final treasure chest be opened. The chances of finding a bound expedition card in the bucket treasure chests we encounter along the way are incredibly low. Ah Wei probably did this because he remembered what I once said about him, saying he'd been busy for so long and didn't want to end up with nothing."
Ah Wei was using every detail of the system to express his affection for his lover. Was this a "publicly funded romance"? But this was the end of the world, and Yu Miaomiao felt a little uncomfortable.
Yu Miaomiao: "So what are you going to do now?"
Tingting kept her word and continued as agreed, "I'm truly exhausted. Even if you were to go down and fetch the bucket alone, I wouldn't be able to wait until you've brought all the treasure chests back up, not to mention the more difficult monsters to deal with later. I'd only be making things worse for you. I can only stop here for today. When you decide to come again and can take me with you, please invite me again. Regarding the system, I can only speak to you in person. It's not because I don't trust you, but because I can't let anyone see. As for joining the team, you can always invite me, and I promise to only join yours."
While speaking, Tingting was almost half-kneeling on the ground, struggling to hold on, her face pale and a little scary. After hearing Yu Miaomiao's answer of "OK", she left the team directly.
Yu Miaomiao watched as the figure on the ground faded away and disappeared on the spot, much like the mosaic of human figures on the light screen in science fiction movies.
The spectator that Tingting mentioned is the feeling of being observed that Yu Miaomiao and other friends often feel.
According to the information left by Awei, Tingting rarely has any outstanding performance in battle. Even though Tingting is now quite powerful, when viewers see the new punk glasses on her head, they are only interested in her at the beginning, and then they don't pay much attention to her, so she can travel freely between various survival servers to look for the traces left by Awei.
When she first came to the apocalypse, Tingting received the first message left by Awei, which was that the more things she had on her, the more difficult events she would encounter and the less supplies she would get, so she basically spent as much as she had. Just now, she was willing to trade so many important and special items to Yu Miaomiao.
Tingting was not worried about the shortage of things. She could find other items based on the clues left by Awei. Hearing this, Yu Miaomiao wondered if this was the benefit of having an insider. If this happened in a modern game, she would definitely shout for her money back.
Tingting didn't know who that group of viewers were, and Awei never mentioned it. Tingting said that she felt that the content was prohibited information set by the system. It was very likely that Awei's recording was about that organization and was automatically destroyed by the system. This sounded reasonable.
As for where Tingting got the card for restoring the world order, Tingting said that she brought it from another server. This was not told to her by Awei, but a rule she discovered after visiting too many servers. That is, you only need to put the card in the pocket of clothes you wear in modern times, and the card will not be bound.
Tingting wasn't sure if this was the same bug as the one Yu Miaomiao had seen before where a rabbit produced wool. However, Tingting suggested not telling too many people. If it was detected by the system, the background artificial intelligence analysis group would automatically fix these bugs.
If this method works, she will be able to collect all the cards to repair the world order as soon as possible after Nana comes to her server. Yu Miaomiao felt excited when she thought of this.
The exchange of information between the two ended after Tingting left. After returning to the sea world and reporting that she was safe, Tingting fell into a deep sleep and rested.
After going down to the lake, Yu Miaomiao opened a treasure chest in the water, collected some metals and oxygen cylinders, and then, seeing that it was almost dark, returned to the base.
After a busy afternoon, Yu Miaomiao's expedition progress only increased by 1%, and she did not encounter any danger, but she obtained a lot more supplies and information. She felt it was very worthwhile and even felt that life was full of hope.
When her figure and the light of the waning moon appeared at the same time, Xiaoguai couldn't wait to rush towards her.
Yu Miaomiao shouted happily: "Little darling, I'm back!"
Yingying praised: "Xiaoguai is so amazing, he actually knows when Miaoshen will come back and waits here on time. From now on, Xiaoguai will not be called Xiaoguai anymore, he should be called Guaishen!"
Yu Miaomiao: ...
Yingying is absolutely crazy.
Lulu patted Yingying's head helplessly and said, "I told you to go fishing all afternoon, but you didn't. All you did was play with Xiaoguai. You didn't do anything serious."
Yingying laughed and said, "Who said I wasn't doing my job? Why didn't you praise me when I was fighting with Guai Shen against flying insects?"
Yu Miaomiao ignored the two people's fight, but bit Xiaoguai and tried her best to avoid Xiaoguai's tongue licking.
The barbs on it made her scalp tingle. She felt that Xiaoguai could lick a monster to death with just his tongue.
After playing with Xiaoguai for more than ten minutes and adding the newly acquired fire tongue grass into the cooking pot, Yu Miaomiao called several core members to the public area.
The sea world at night was still chilly. After returning from the adventure site with a suitable temperature, Yu Miaomiao shivered, and a hot pack that looked like a modern one was handed to her by Hua Bie.
"Thank you." Yu Miaomiao took it and felt like a hot stone wrapped in several layers of cloth. Before she could study it carefully, she saw the other party handed her a pot of hot food that looked like a hodgepodge. "What is this?"
Hua Bie: "A level six food, said to temporarily boost spirits. I made one and tried it earlier, it tasted okay."
Yu Miaomiao picked up a piece of lettuce with chopsticks from the food container made from the cooking pot and put it in her mouth to taste it. It tasted similar to modern pre-made stews, not delicious but not bad either. Remembering what he mentioned about improving spirit, she asked, "Does the spirit value appear in the personal panel now?"
After asking, she opened the system interface and looked at her personal panel, but it was nothing.
Hua Bie shook his head. "It's true that there haven't been any new recipes added yet, but many people have discovered that prolonged combat not only depletes stamina, but also causes difficulty concentrating and even inexplicable fatigue, which can only be restored through sleep. This afternoon, someone discovered this recipe in a treasure chest. To be more precise, it was the recipe that Dr. Ji, the Pathfinder, had sent."
ha?
Isn't their team's main focus on hiding their strength and not standing out? Why are they acting like good guys now?
Hua Bie continued to speak: "This is indeed somewhat inconsistent with their previous actions and statements. They are very scheming. They must have other deeper intentions in doing this."
After Lulu sat down, she looked out the window at Yingying, who was tucking Xiaoguai's blanket, and said, "Is it related to the server merger? After the merger, they wanted to avoid being targeted by other servers and establish an image of being a good person in the world in advance."
Your Lie in April: "That's a possibility, but doesn't Dr. Ji love using other people for experiments? Perhaps he wants to make this spirit-enhancing food public and have everyone help him with his spirit-related experiments?"
Yu Miaomiao nodded. "They might have discovered some clues to unlocking the secrets of this world. Judging from the recipes they've published, it's probably related to the spirit. In a sense, the spirit is connected to consciousness."
Hua Bie: "Coming first on a team once gives you six cards to restore world order. Yijian Zhan Tianmen's duty is to protect Dr. Ji. Why is he so confident that he can protect Dr. Ji in the apocalypse? Isn't he afraid of being caught in a disaster and causing Dr. Ji's death? Logically, returning to the real world is the best way to protect him. I always find it strange that he would give away six such precious cards."
Yu Miaomiao: "Yeah, so I only believe that they either don't have the strength to surpass us, or have other ways to return to the real world alone. I don't believe that they think highly of me and give me the first place because they think I can definitely return. I also asked Nana to help find out about this matter. When I meet Tingting next time, I will see if I can get some new information."
Yingying pushed the door open and walked in. The cold wind from outside rushed in. Six people followed her. "Is it time to watch the videotape? Why didn't you call me?"
Lulu: ...
Seeing Lulu about to explode, Yingying quickly hid behind Chenchen and said, "Chenchen, protect me! There's a fierce monster ahead!"
When several people saw Yingying's appearance, they burst into laughter. Lulu was also quite speechless. She placed the stools according to the information Yu Miaomiao had found out before, and ignored Yingying's funny acting.
A player was placed in the middle of the widened public area. April called over a dozen more people, and everyone sat around and started playing the videotape.
After the player started up, a phantom screen appeared above the machine.
The colorful picture forms a flat cylinder, and no matter where you sit, you can see the picture on the light screen.
The size of this light screen is adjustable. Today we are watching the images indoors for safety reasons. If the weather is good, we can directly place the images outdoors so that more people can watch them.
Looking at the projected image, it is similar to the projection effect of a modern 3D projector, which is different from the image seen when drawing a card. It seems that this videotape is just an ordinary videotape that was randomly obtained.
It’s normal that I didn’t encounter any similar scenes when drawing cards in the first game. I hope it won’t happen every time.
Today's video content is a retro movie. According to the introduction in the film, it is an animation that was popular all over the world in ancient times. It is played for about 2 hours. Some of the pictures and scenes in it are things that most people present have never seen before, and they are very novel.
There are dozens of people guarding outside the house, fighting against flying insects in the smog. These people will come in to watch the animation, and the people inside the house will go out to escort everyone.
The dubbing and pictures of the cartoon touched everyone's heart. When the touching scenes of mother-son love were played, everyone in the house shed tears silently. Yingying cried the loudest and threw herself directly into Lulu's arms.
It was not until the battle-like music at the end of the film sounded that everyone came back to their senses from the cartoon.
