Chapter 272: Day 13 of Survival at Sea (5) System Delay...
Yu Miaomiao looked at the message sent by Ziren, which contained two pieces of information.
First, they were rich and had stolen a lot of good stuff from the killer named "Who Am I". They must be particularly good stuff, so they had to take it away at all costs; second, Who Am I had been sending people to guard near her, and there might even be a mole in her base.
Yu Miaomiao would not ask you why you help me, or why you don’t go pick up the goods yourself, because the answer is definitely because of A Pi.
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Can you tell me what's in that tunnel? I don't want to take the risk to get it."
Now that Huabie has left, Iris, in order to uncover the secrets, spends almost the entire year in the exploration area or goes out on an expedition. Only half of the people remain in the exploration area.
Apart from exploring, Yu Miaomiao had to stay in the base. If it wasn't something too important, just some wood, she didn't want to go and get it under the pressure of the staff.
While I was waiting for the message to be replied, the description of the special item I drew today finally popped up. It took so long.
[Name: Four Highs (High Randomness, High Energy, High Burst, High Side Effects) Weapon Resource Card (1/1)
Level: 40
Introduction: High, really high
Attributes: Today's randomly obtained items are: Conical Thorn Blade (High-Frequency Electric, Handleless)*1, Sulfuric Acid Bullet (High Damage, Instant Explosion, Range Damage)*1, use to obtain the above items.
So high randomness means that the items contained in this card will change every day. The descriptions in brackets after the items represent high energy, high burst, and high side effects. The side effect of the first item is that the user needs to hold a conical thorn blade with their bare hands, and the second is that after using it, the user will also be in the damage range of the ammunition.
It was simple and clear. She was really grateful that the system could describe the three highs.
The weapons she brought with her today were really unsatisfactory, so she decided to wait.
“Ding ding.”
"Is Ziren here? As far as I know, there's no Li Quanqing, the killer who I am, working for your base. He sent two groups to search for the goods. The previous group happened to encounter April's Lie and was killed. This time, he's determined to get them. There's at least one blueprint for a bomb in the tunnel. I'm sure you've experienced the power of the weapon that bombed your ship this time. It was made from that blueprint. There's probably a lot of other goodies too. Otherwise, he wouldn't have sent his three most trusted men to a place where they could afford to die in order to search for the goods."
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Who are the people coming? How long will it take for them to arrive?"
After seeing the message, Yu Miaomiao immediately replied to the other party. Unexpectedly, she received a reply very quickly this time. At this time, the originally lively world gradually quieted down, because everyone found that chatting without connecting to the next sentence was really tiring, and even the communication in the forum decreased.
Does the system want to reduce communication among survivors and increase the difficulty of teamwork today, or does it have other intentions?
"Is Ziren here? They're not on the list. Li Quanqing is very cautious and won't use anyone too powerful. But those three have quite a few special and insidious items. Be careful. If you encounter them, don't listen to their sweet talk. Just kill them. As far as time goes, they'll be there in about two days. Do it according to your ability."
2 days, and it takes Yu Miaomiao 1 day to get to a place where she has enough money to die, which means she only has about 1 day to herself.
Thinking of her promise to go as soon as Tingting recovered, Yu Miaomiao asked Yingying: "Yingbao, can you help me check the injury on my back?"
Yingying hesitated, "Sister Miaomiao, why don't you take a day off? You were really badly injured earlier. Your blood dyed the sea red. Plus, the effects of the poison may not have worn off yet. It's very dangerous for you to go exploring now."
Although Yingying said this, she still helped her check it as she was told.
Yu Miaomiao felt that the discomfort in her back had improved a lot after waking up. "I promised Tingting, and I have to do it. Besides, I want to figure out these things as soon as possible. Some things, if left untreated, might..."
Yingying knew that she was thinking of Api, so she responded, "Okay, your back is almost scabby now. Just don't move too violently in the water and it should be healed by the afternoon."
Yu Miaomiao planned to go to the place where money was not a problem by herself. Api had told her some details, and they would take whoever was free to go there when the time came.
Ever since Huabie left the server, Xiaoguai has become much more comfortable. As Yingying caressed him, his purring snoring echoed throughout the room.
Yu Miaomiao walked to Xiaoguai and asked softly, "Xiaoguai, I'm going to be away for a while. You have to take good care of yourself, eat well, sleep well, and don't get hurt."
Yingying came over and repeated it, trying to fit into the context.
"Meow hey hey hey."
"Sister Meow Meow, Xiaoguai made so many bleating sounds. Did he say a long sentence?" Yingying took out the notebook again.
Yu Miaomiao said awkwardly, "It just said 'OK', and the rest were just coquettish interjections."
Yingying nodded seriously, not thinking it was strange at all that a giant creature would act like a spoiled child. She lowered her head and memorized the syllables that Xiaoguai had just uttered.
He's crazy, really crazy.
Yu Miaomiao shook her head, touched Xiaoguai, sent a message to Tingting, and set off for Fishman Island again.
This time, the two of them agreed that the purpose of this trip was to fill all the stone pillars with blue liquid and see what new things would appear.
In fact, before Miaomiao set off, people from other servers had already discovered that blue liquid could be poured into the petals of the stone lotus, but they thought it was a means used by the system to confuse people and waste everyone's time and treasure chests.
But there are also people who secretly memorize it in their hearts and experiment with it, such as opening the sky gate with one sword.
Yu Miaomiao had just experienced a period of dizziness when she received a message from the other party.
"One Sword Opens the Heaven's Gate: Comrade, have you seen the post from Area 4 about Murloc Island? They've experimented with bringing a bucket treasure chest ashore and opening it reveals a bottle of blue liquid. Pour this liquid onto the stone pillars on the sandy ground of the expedition area, and it causes a surprising transformation. I also saw this bottle of liquid when I opened the bucket, but the Murlocs were too powerful and I had to leave. I see your expedition progress has been slow, so I hope this helps."
It's a bit funny that people from foreign servers came to supervise the battle, and they said under the pretext that they saw her progress was slow and gave her suggestions on how to pass the level. I'm afraid they wanted her to experiment.
They had previously asked her if she had made any new discoveries in the Crystal Palace. She said she had no plans to explore this area recently, so she ended up setting her sights on Fishman Island.
"Meow Meow is Not Lack of Water: Oh, okay, thank you. If you go again, please let me know if you find any miraculous effects."
Yu Miaomiao had already thought about it. If the blue liquid was the secret to passing the level, she couldn't tell the other party the same way she told the Crystal Palace mechanism. After all, the former affected the rewards and the ranking after the merger, while the latter was related to the decryption world. She needed to reveal the information to the other party so that they could study it.
"Why are you daydreaming?" Tingting was a little slow in accepting the invitation to join the team, but she quickly followed Yu Miaomiao to the expedition site. Seeing Yu Miaomiao standing there, she waved in front of her and said, "Is your injury still not healed? I'll go down the first two lakes by myself. You swim to the other side and wait for me. I'll be careful this time."
After Tingting returned, she also went into the sea and practiced sword swinging in the water for a long time. She didn't want to drag Miaomiao down anymore.
Yu Miaomiao said without hesitation: "Okay, the injury on my back is indeed not healed yet. I estimate that with the help of the advanced medical kit, it will be healed in half an hour. I will swim over there to recuperate first. Thank you for your hard work."
Before coming in, Tingting had already put on everything. Following the instructions on her glasses, she stepped into the water after taking care of two first-generation mermaids.
Before completely entering the water, Tingting took off her oxygen mask, and Yu Miaomiao also put on her diving equipment at the same time, wondering if she regretted it and still wanted herself to go down and help.
Then I heard him say, "Don't try to be brave like me. There's nothing dangerous on the lake, but if you need help, just call me and I'll come to your aid. Thank you for yesterday."
Yu Miaomiao: Ah?
Tingting gave me the words of thanks and the gift of thanks yesterday, so why is she bringing this up again today?
Looking at the blue-haired figure sinking into the lake, Yu Miaomiao smiled. Tingting was such a sincere person, but she lacked trust because she had been deceived before. However, after the two of them had a heart-to-heart talk and shared hardships, they rebuilt this bridge of trust. Isn't it the same for herself?
Because of her injuries, Yu Miaomiao could not swim fast, but because she was in a state of hibernation, she swam to the other side without attracting any monsters. While waiting, she finally received a message from Hua Bie.
"Hua Bie: Sorry, I just saw the message. I'm fine now and will deal with that person as soon as possible. Don't worry, I see you're in the exploration area, please be careful and do what you can. If you encounter any difficulties, you can invite me in. I'm always here."
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Okay, I invited Tingting to come this time. I hope we can find a way to pass the level as soon as possible. I will call you if I need you. You should be careful over there. You are unfamiliar with the place and staying safe is the most important thing."
While munching on the running salad, Yu Miaomiao thought about it. She and Hua Bie really reported everything to each other, and she always felt that something was strange.
In a blink of an eye, Tingting had climbed out of the lake, and Yu Miaomiao immediately went up to her and helped her take the bucket.
Tingting said excitedly, "This time I dealt with them in the water. If it weren't for this blue liquid, I would have bothered to open the treasure chest directly in the lake!"
When Yu Miaomiao saw her, she thought of the child she wanted to praise and immediately praised her: "Good, good, good, Tingting is amazing!"
Tingting smiled happily and opened the bucket. She saw a bottle of blue liquid standing quietly inside. After taking it out, she poured all the liquid inside into the first stone pillar.
The blue liquid gradually dyed the gray stone green. Tingting sighed, "Is it because I like blue hair?"
Really...why didn't Yu Miaomiao think of this?
Seeing that all the liquid had drained away and the empty bottles and buckets had disappeared, Tingting turned around and walked back to the lake, leaving behind a sentence: "I'm going."
Yu Miaomiao touched the wound on her back with her hands behind her back. It had already scabbed over and it looked like it would heal soon. She decided to rest for a while and see if there was any new information in the world.
Today's system delays seem to always be distributed in a wave-like manner. When people notice a delay, they rarely send messages or use the system. Then they find that the system delay has decreased. After concentrated use, the delay occurs again.
Yu Miaomiao thought of a possibility. In reality, many servers will become stuck when there are many users or when the system data interactions are frequent. But now the number of people is fixed, so how could this lag phenomenon suddenly occur?
One of the difficulties with frost weather may be system delays, but the delays should not be so large and irregular.
After thinking about it, there is only one possibility: the system is being used on a large scale in places that people cannot see.
