Chapter 302: Survival at Sea Day 20 (1) The Cat’s Anxiety…
After a series of system sounds ended, Yu Miaomiao discovered a problem: why the ranking notification of the internal test server competition leaderboard had disappeared.
When I opened the list again, the sub-column for the beta server competition had disappeared.
Not only are the system rewards for this period gone, but even this list has disappeared.
Is this the reason why I, who love playing games, have stopped striving for this list since the last ranking was calculated?
Even though he changed his name, it didn't prevent them from finding someone who matched his historical personal panel values based on the recorded data - 'Rumor'.
I searched for information about this person, but I haven't seen him leave a message or post anywhere yet. However, Yu Miaomiao and other colleagues have already notified others to keep a close eye on his movements around the world. His next move may determine the future development direction of the system.
Yu Miaomiao and her friends had already made a medium-sized wardrobe that could hold a lot of items. Although the internal test server competition list was no longer valid, they still made five copies of the latest ice-breaking propellers and antifreeze foundations to withstand various harsh conditions in the snow season.
It is necessary to break the ice, but the ship can still be sailed. Based on the current ocean conditions, it is estimated that starting from tonight, the temperature will drop across the entire map.
Or...
Teleport everyone to another snow season map.
Considering the possibility of radiation in the future, does that mean that the consciousness of all survivors will be transferred from the existing map to the higher-level snow season map?
Thinking about the 3D model structure in the poison circle picture, when the snow season comes, will they be very close to the people active at the top level?
So who are the creatures active on the top level? Are they the bodies of the survivors, or the people who maintain this system, but they should not be monsters.
Yu Miaomiao borrowed the poison circle diagram instrument and handed it over to Iris who was still exploring the area.
The day they planned to go home was getting closer, but Iris went to the expedition site more frequently. Yu Miaomiao advised Iris not to work so hard, but Iris said that she could only feel at ease when she stayed in the expedition site. She could even fall asleep only when she slept in the expedition site.
Yu Miaomiao knew that persuasion was futile, so she could only advise her to be careful.
Yu Miaomiao is also contacting survivors on the other two servers who have more than 10 special cards. If they are willing to bring the cards to her, the cards will definitely be collected by the time the snow season list is settled. However, they are still hesitant, not knowing whether they should trust Yu Miaomiao, or whether they can go back. In other words, they are still alive and well, so should they go back?
After all the rewards were distributed and the first settlement rewards of the snow season were added in, Yu Miaomiao and Nana still needed 3 cards in total.
According to the information revealed by Tingting when she came out of the secret door, there was no new card for repairing the world order in the treasure chest, only a pile of supplies and new information. It seems that it is particularly important to control Shi Yancheng and get the card on him.
[Survival at Sea Day 20 00:09 Total Darkness]
After a whole day without seeing the sun, all the plants in the planting boxes had stopped growing. Fortunately, she harvested a lot early on, so Yu Miaomiao's team was able to always maintain the first place in plant collection.
But yesterday it was a colorful black, and today it is still in complete darkness, which makes people wonder whether the polar night weather will come earlier than the snow season.
Yu Miaomiao also had this worry, because even the bad guy inside didn't make the icebreaker. Could it be because it was not needed?
But all these doubts disappeared after Tingting received Awei's hint. In addition, the earliest information Iris received was that once the system started, it could not be stopped or changed manually, so all the program developments now were predetermined, that is, the direction of item synthesis in the system synthesis guide was the next natural disaster.
The difference between completely dark weather and colorful black weather is that after the midnight, the moon in the sky disappears.
Yu Miaomiao used the video function to record everything. Looking back, the moon simply disappeared without any change.
"Iris: There are a lot of living people at the top of the 3D model, densely packed all over my head. You are also much closer to me than you drew before. Has your sea world changed?"
Every outdoor stove in the base was lit. The most obvious change in the entire maritime world was that the weather had become colder. Looking through the firelight, a thin layer of frost had formed on the sea surface.
After Yu Miaomiao told Iris about the situation, she received new news from Tingting.
"I can't stop missing you: We haven't blown up enough caves yet, so I can't get the next information point."
"Meow Meow: Since they don't want you to go, Dr. Ji's current experiments are related to the expedition site. From what you understand, will the next focus be on the expedition site? If there's a chance we can meet, could you share some new information?"
"Can't stop thinking about you: Sure, there's an adventure zone under my ship. We can meet there and try it out together."
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Crystal Palace?"
"Unstoppable longing: Well, did you see the cross-server message Yijian Kaitianmen just sent? He said he's buying the entrance to the secret door that appeared on Fishman Island for a high price."
Yu Miaomiao had just seen the eye-catching message. His message was very clear: they would only agree to the invitation and give the reward on the spot after the secret door appeared. She had already asked someone to inquire about the price, wanting to see what he was planning.
"Unstoppable longing: I went straight to someone and asked them, and they said that if I'm willing to give them the next secret door I encounter, no matter where it is, they can at least give me one Restoring World Order card."
No wonder everyone is going crazy and buying Fishman Island Expedition Cards at high prices, causing all the Fishman Island Expedition Areas on all servers to be full.
Yu Miaomiao has indeed not felt that gaze recently. Does this indirectly confirm that the number of secret doors in the apocalypse is fixed? Tingting did not intervene in the early stage, so Dr. Ji could go into the secret door at any time to spy on her or conduct experiments.
Now, with the help of Yu Miaomiao, Tingting quickly obtained the information left by Awei. The number of secret doors that Dr. Ji and others can enter will be reduced, and Tingting can continue to obtain information about other secret doors as long as she goes to the next secret door. That's why they want Tingting to lose Yu Miaomiao's help.
"Unstoppable longing: Actually, I didn't have the nerve to tell you that the Restoring World Order card I gave you earlier was taken from them. With my abilities, I'd never even reached the top of any rankings. Back then, they tricked me into getting that special card, which gave me access to the secret door on that server. This delayed my subsequent access to the information left by Wei. However, Wei seemed to have anticipated that I would be tricked by the people of the apocalypse, so the trigger requirement he left at the information point on the internal test server was that someone would willingly give me all their exploration progress before the door would be opened. Hence, why I came to you last time."
Yu Miaomiao: ...So she is the one who was taken advantage of.
After accepting the invitation to join the team, the world instantly regained its light and color, and she looked at the blue-haired woman with a bright smile on her oxygen mask.
She casually took the note Tingting handed her, which read: Hey, to prevent the person whose progress I occupied from getting upset, he set up a mechanism to duplicate our backpack supplies. To avoid being detected by the system's intelligent analysis group, this mechanism will disappear after we explore a few exploration sites and blow up the caves. So, isn't my Ah Wei awesome?
It seemed like she had become a part of the couple's play. She was speechless and didn't know how to respond. She could only silently point to the front of the Crystal Palace.
As soon as the two arrived at the first palace, Yu Miaomiao received a message from Yingying urging her to go back.
"Yingyingguai: Sister Miaomiao, Xiaoguai has become irritable since you left. I don't know why, but he's been jumping around everywhere and ramming into the house like crazy. He's even broken your beams. Why don't you come back and check on him?"
Why did Xiaoguai suddenly become like this? Is something dangerous about to happen in this world?
After Yu Miaomiao and Tingting said goodbye in a hurry, they returned to the metal cabin. The next second, they were bumped into by Xiaoguai who was running from outside the house.
The big furry thing covered her whole body, and her face was covered with cat hair, which made her feel itchy. No matter how she struggled, she could not leave this furry ball. She could only accept her fate and make some breathing space.
Since she came back, Xiaoguai quickly calmed down, leaning his entire cat head on her shoulder and slowly closing his eyes.
Fell asleep? Could she be Xiaoguai's sedative?
I looked at its eyes which were trying hard to close, and found out that it was pretending to be asleep.
Yu Miaomiao twitched her arms, wanting to see what was wrong with Xiaoguai, but her whole body was held by Xiaoguai's limbs. No matter how she called its name, it remained unmoved, and did not even respond. The whole cat was refusing to communicate.
She couldn't move it away by brute force, so she could only slowly stroke its back with her still-movable hands to help it relax.
Feeling its steady breathing proves that the cat is fine, so what is it anxious about?
After powerful bursts of breath sprayed on her face, she fell asleep unconsciously.
During the day, she woke up naturally because her entire face was covered in the cat's fur, almost blocking all her breathing holes.
She and Xiaoguai slept in a ball like this for eight hours. Xiaoguai was fully awake. He was usually playful and was still arching his body against her, as if to show her with his actions that she couldn't leave.
"Xiaoguai, can you tell me what you are afraid of?" Yu Miaomiao said in the most gentle tone.
“Meow——Hey hey”
Yu Miaomiao patted its head and said, "I'm not leaving you. Can you sense what's about to happen?"
She wondered if the monster was anticipating the upcoming weather change and was becoming anxious.
"Meow—wooooooo"
Yu Miaomiao didn't quite understand the meaning behind its tone, so she asked tentatively, "You said you're going to lose your strength soon?"
"Meow."
It turned out that the season was about to change, and it might return to its kitten form again, so it became anxious in advance.
Yu Miaomiao smiled. How could a cat have such a mentality? She put her arm around Xiaoguai's neck and said, "I will always be with you. No matter whether you are a kitten or a big cat, you are the strongest in my heart."
"Meow—Woo—Ah"
You're leaving soon.
Yu Miaomiao was stunned. It actually knew and understood her previous conversation with Siyue and Lulu, and knew that she had to save Huabie today.
How should she explain it, or should she lie to Xiaoguai?
Yu Miaomiao thought about it and decided not to destroy the trust between the two. "You can feel Hua Bie's presence, right?"
"Meow."
Yu Miaomiao continued to ask: "Do you think I will go find Hua Bie and leave you alone?"
"Meow."
No wonder it has always been hostile to Huabie. It turns out that in its heart, it would abandon it because of Huabie...
That strange feeling came over me again.
Yu Miaomiao said word by word, "I am indeed going to help him today, or rather save him, but please trust me, I will definitely come back before you turn into a kitten, okay?"
Anyone else would surely wonder why she made such a solemn promise to a giant monster cat, but she felt that she had to make Xiaoguai accept this psychologically so that he wouldn't continue to be anxious or cause trouble.
Perhaps this is a good opportunity. If I can gain Xiaoguai's trust, it will no longer have inexplicable hostility towards Huabie.
Well, for the sake of base harmony, Yu Miaomiao thought so.
