Chapter 97 Desert Survival Day 11 (12) “The Truman Show…
Yu Miaomiao didn't rush to reply, but was wondering whether she should buy the card.
After buying them, what should I do? Should I collect them all within 200 days and work hard to get to the top, or should I buy them at a high price and let everyone go?
Is she that great?
Yu Miaomiao thought about being a good person, but never thought about being a great good person.
She really wanted to go back, back to that peaceful era, to escape from this harsh environment and inhumane apocalypse as soon as possible.
She also didn't want to see the same tragedy that happened to Ai Chi Mochi happen again. Apart from sighing, she was left with powerlessness and regret.
Doesn’t Hua Bie really not want to?
If he didn't want to, why would he risk his life so much to go to the expedition site so many times?
She certainly believed him when she said he loved adventure, but every time he came to the place where he was injured to seek help from her, it was obvious that he also wanted to go back, so there was no such thing as "it doesn't matter".
If that's the case, the two of them have the same goal, and if they can collect 81 cards together, wouldn't they be able to clear the level?
Wouldn't it be better if everyone in the apocalypse worked together and tried to collect the money within a year? Does she have to buy it alone?
Shouldn't this be our common goal?
Yes, the end of the world is scary and everyone is miserable, but why did she spend so much to buy this card and continue to collect the rest?
Thinking this way, she felt that she was being very selfish.
If everyone does this, and one day all the cards in the world really exist, will people who own cards still be willing to give away the cards they have worked so hard to obtain to others for free?
Everyone thinks so, how long will it take to gather them all and free everyone?
"Meow Meow is not short of water: If I don't buy it, will you sell it?"
There are probably only two types of people who are willing to buy this card now. One type is a true apocalyptic hero who wants to save the world; the other type is someone who buys it so that others cannot buy it, or even sells it to the game system in exchange for more profits. These people should be those who really want to stay in the apocalypse and don't want to leave.
After all, the reward for synthesizing a card that can pass the level is only one dollar. Those who are doing well will definitely be reluctant to leave when they have access to higher technology or entertainment projects.
"Hanabie: This card, although it has a gray 'Sell' button and cannot be sold to the system for the time being, I have no plans to sell it right now, and I don't even want to tell anyone else. However, if you want me to keep it, we can discuss it."
She really didn't have the idea or determination to buy it immediately, but she also didn't want to sell it to others, especially those who planned to stay in this world and continue to do evil.
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Are you going to reduce my share of the proceeds from this expedition?"
"Hua Bie: Emm, since you said so, that's fine. How about reducing it to 50%?"
In his heart, he actually didn't care much about how much he gave out, but for some reason, after knowing that she had returned to the real world in order to work with a certain man, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, so he didn't want to give out so much.
Moreover, the thought of handing over the financial report just now made him feel very uncomfortable.
"Meow Meow is not short of water: It's not impossible, but can you continue to answer my other questions?"
Yu Miaomiao didn't want to argue with him about the share for too long. She was too exhausted when making the balance car just now, and her physical strength dropped to 20. She needed to eat something to replenish her energy.
Between porridge and red rice sausage, she chose the red rice sausage. A meal came in a pack of 3. Only after eating them all could she increase her physical strength by 1 point. Now that the temperature had not dropped completely, it was more appropriate to eat the red rice sausage. She spread a mat on the floor tiles and sat down.
The red rice sausage in the packaged box is hot when it is taken out. There are two small bowls of dipping sauce in the box, one is spicy mint lemon juice and the other is peanut butter.
Yu Miaomiao first picked up a piece with chopsticks and dipped it in the green sauce with a hint of red. The red sausage skin and shrimp were covered with the sauce, and the red rice sausage was shiny with oil, which looked very appetizing.
When you take a bite, you will find that the outer skin of the red rice sausage is extremely tender, and when you bite into the inside, you will find the soft and chewy shrimp and crispy breadcrumbs with a unique sour and spicy taste. Not only can you taste the deliciousness of the red rice sausage, but it also relieves the greasiness and has another flavor.
The refreshing feeling in her mouth and the gradually forming feeling of fullness in her stomach made her feel a sense of happiness on this hot afternoon. It turned out that delicious food has a healing effect.
She continued to salivate, and her greed made her finish the three red rice sausages quickly. She dipped the second piece in peanut butter, which had a smoother texture, but she still preferred the sour and spicy sauce.
As the three were eaten, the bowl, chopsticks and dipping sauce disappeared. After eating the red rice sausage, she actually felt that the heat in her body had dissipated a little.
Hua Bie took a long time to reply to her message.
"Hanabetsu: Well, what else do you want to know?"
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Before asking you about the information about the exploration area, I want to know if you know any other information about the desert world we are in now, such as the resource search function."
Because from his description, Yu Miaomiao felt that he must have been to many places. Even if he had not upgraded the resource search function, he had used this function to search many areas and might have gained something else.
Like herself, using resource search, she can only search for resources within a radius of less than 2 kilometers, and all she can find is well water.
No, since the search yesterday, the map has shown several small gravel marks, which are sand piles. She hasn't reached the sand dunes yet. After she reaches them, densely packed yellow gravel marks representing sand piles will appear on the screen.
Since the second resource was available, resource search now supports input filtering. In the filter bar, there are filter items for "high-quality sand pile" and "well water", so there must be other filter items, but they are not nearby or she has not encountered them.
Because there is more and more sand now, she clicked the filter box in front of the high-quality sand pile. After searching around today, there was still only the water drop icon for "well water".
"Meow Meow is Not Short of Water: It's a resource search function for hidden quest rewards that's triggered after killing a flash monster. During the search, the system prompts that the search range is limited to areas the player has already explored. The types of resources searched depend on the events and items the player has encountered. I don't quite understand what these items and events mean, so I'd like to ask you for some advice."
This time Hua Bie responded very quickly. He didn't expect that she would be interested in this kind of thing.
"Hua Bie: I can find expeditions with relative accuracy thanks to this resource search function. My search function has now been upgraded to the intermediate level, and it can be used once every 12 hours. So, as long as I've visited an expedition, I can use the search function to search the area I've been to and find similar expeditions."
"Hua Bie: So I guess the events it suggests should include exploration sites, monsters, and so on. For example, I can search for monster piles I've encountered. As for items, I should be able to search for item resources I own, such as ore resources. However, the correspondence doesn't have to be that precise. For example, if I have an iron ingot, I can search for iron ore."
So, she was able to find the well water because she had mineral water on her?
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Is it because you have been to enough places that now that you have more advanced means of transportation, you no longer need an expedition card and can freely enter any similar expedition location you have been to?"
If this is the case, then the adventure card will be useless in the later stages.
"Hua Bie: I thought so at first, but after you and I analyzed the expedition sites last time, I realized that the expedition sites I visit seem to be very similar, and I can't always find them. For example, the road conditions at every fork in the road are the same in the same expedition site, which is very different from the time you went. So I guess even if the expedition site has the same name, it actually has an internal number or category. I can only search for it if I have visited the same expedition site with the same name or number. So it's not possible to search for a viable expedition site in the map area I have visited every 12 hours."
That's right, otherwise this adventure card would be invalid in the later stage. Therefore, even if it is a Dark Oasis, there should be many types. The one she went to is one of them, and what a coincidence, she happened to run into the same one as those two bad guys. She even suspected that this was not a coincidence, but a design.
Sometimes, she didn't know why, but she always felt that there were eyes watching her, so she even tried to shout into the air. However, she found that after shouting, the lucky trigger was still very random, so she didn't take it seriously and just thought she was being too suspicious.
But after Hua Bie's description, she began to believe the existence of these eyes. If they really existed, who owned them?
"The Truman Show"?
Are all of these survivors actually being watched? And being manipulated?
It's not impossible. After all, with such an advanced workbench and holographic images, who can tell whether they are a goldfish kept in a fish tank for viewing?
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Have you been to other adventure places?"
"Hanabie: I've only been to Dark Oasis and Devil's Bend. I still have an expedition card for the Mischievous Cave, but I'm not planning on going there anytime soon. There aren't many people in the world who post about expeditions, and those who did post about the Mischievous Cave seem to be dead. So, until I understand the mechanics, I probably won't rush there."
All dead?
Yu Miaomiao also searched for discussions about the adventure sites, and found that the Prank Cave had the least discussion. She thought that not many people had obtained the cards for this adventure site, but it turned out that it was because they had all died.
She had only seen people say that the design of the prank cave was very anti-human, and that you couldn't look at the logic of this adventure site with normal thinking, otherwise you would be fooled. She really didn't care whether those who had been there were still alive.
After all, even if a person dies, the post will still be there.
After hearing what he said, Yu Miaomiao immediately searched around and sent a private message to the poster. Sure enough, she received a prompt that the other party was offline.
This has happened for three consecutive posts. It seems this prank cave should be renamed "No One Survives".
"Meow Meow is not short of water: They really are gone. It's a good thing I didn't go there on a whim. As for other exploration locations, would you mind telling me about them? If you don't have time to share more information with me right now, you can tell me a little later. I'm not in that rush to go."
"Hanabetsu: Besides this, are there any other options?"
Anything else?
For example, what is his usual means of transportation or what special skills has he mastered?
She did have the idea of borrowing the vehicle, but Yu Miaomiao felt that this was indeed a very private matter. What if this thing was a life-saving talisman or something like that, it would be impossible for her to tell her or lend it to her. As for the skills, needless to say, the other party had politely refused to tell her a long time ago.
"Meow Meow is not short of water: You have told me a lot of very useful information. Apart from the exploration area, I currently have no other questions. If you have any, please feel free to enlighten me."
Hua Bie frowned as she looked at the line of words. She had always been so polite and courteous.
He knew that the Tiandihui group had just had another conflict with a dying person in the world.
He was originally indifferent to these things, but when he saw the person who had the conflict and wanted to find someone to make a condensing fan, he knew it must be related to Meow Meow's lack of water.
Although he felt that "Don't say you love me if you don't love me" was really taking advantage of someone's misfortune, he seldom interfered in other people's affairs. But Miaomiao, who was not short of water, was silently helping the dying person in a place that others might not see.
I don't know if she would take pity on others and ask for a very low price to manufacture an expensive condensing fan. After all, the dying person and his friends did not continue to make trouble in the world. It should be that Miaomiao did a good job in hospice care because he was not short of water. She was really a little... beautiful.
Judging from her usual smartness, she won't suffer any loss.
Don’t think about her, look at the messages sent by those people in the temporary private chat box, and compare them, haha.
He had never seen anyone so arrogant when asking for information. He wondered if he was mentally ill. He didn't know how he became the vice president of the Tiandihui.
Normally, he would not bother to pay attention to such people. He would just close those private chat boxes, enjoy the cool breeze, and return to the chat box with Miaomiao where he had plenty of conversations. His mood instantly became much happier.
"Hua Bie: It's okay. I'll tell you about the adventure site later. It's boring to stay indoors anyway. Speaking of which, this condensing fan is quite useful. I think it's better than an indoor air conditioner. The cooling effect of that thing is much worse when the house gets bigger, and there's no air outlet. Unlike the fan you made, it can blow directly at people, instantly relieving the heat."
When the house gets bigger...
How big must his house be? Why does Yu Miaomiao feel like he is showing off?
