As soon as the ranking list of Ice Season: Day 42 at Sea 3
was released, the regional chat exploded.
Most people didn't know who was in this region before, but now all the masters are on the list.
Most people are still complacent about getting more than 100 points, because completing a task only gives 20 or 30 points, and finding prey only adds a few points. They
think that getting more than 100 points is already very high.
But when they see that the others on the leaderboard have scored more than 1,000 points, they are stunned.
"The top three team leaders on the elimination rankings can get an extra 1,000 points. That's too exaggerated."
"How did Shen Qianjue get so many points? Nearly 1,300 is outrageous."
"1,300 is nothing. Wei Yue on the overall rankings has almost 2,000 points!"
"Don't you know that eliminating players can add points?"
"Eliminating a player is 50 points. Calculate how many players he eliminated."
"Oh my god, is that so? Then the second-place Yun Mianmian is also very strong."
"Nonsense, she was the first in the last competition after all."
"If you can eliminate the top three and get a thousand points directly, wouldn't you be directly on the overall rankings?"
He thought his score was very high, but it turned out that he was only fourth on the overall rankings.
[Region rankings:
First place: Wei Yue team (Region 1) 1923
Second place: Lin Qi team (Region 5) 1688
Third place: Shen Qianjue team (Region 1) 1246
Fourth place: Yun Mianmian team (Region 3) 1058
…
The fifth place is more than a hundred points behind Yun Mianmian.
It was hard for Yun Mianmian to imagine that Wei Yue, who was ranked first, had such a high score.
It was possible to do it just by eliminating players.
But Yun Mianmian always felt that he used some special method.
Putting aside the things she couldn't figure out, what she had to do now was to get the first place in the region first.
Just now, the system sent another message - [Eliminating the top three team leaders in the region rankings can add 1,000 points]
This rule made Yun Mianmian very concerned.
One thousand points.
If added, she can directly become the first place.
But others think so too.
She was in the top three, the other two were Shen Qianjue and Xu Sanyue.
Yun Mianmian knew she probably couldn't beat Shen Qianjue, but she wasn't familiar with Xu Sanyue, and didn't even know if he was a man or a woman. But he had won a place in the last competition, so he must be very strong.
Maybe she could team up with Luo Ze and see if they could eliminate these two people.
She and Luo Ze together were definitely stronger than them.
Yun Mianmian walked forward while thinking, and the lake was already very close.
She was so immersed in her thoughts that she didn't even feel that the air around her had become much warmer.
Wen Yushi exclaimed in surprise, "Mianmian! This seems to be a hot spring!"
Yun Mianmian came to her senses and found that the blue lake was not far ahead. When she walked here, she could already see the steam rising.
The lake was steaming, but the surroundings were indeed covered with ice and snow.
Such an extreme scene made people marvel at the magic and beauty of nature.
The two quickened their pace and soon came to the lake. They found that the lake water was crystal clear and clean, as if there was no impurity at all. They could clearly see the soil and minerals at the bottom of the lake. The soil seemed to have several colors, white and gray.
There were strange-shaped lava all around, and the lake water was reflected by the sky with different levels of blue.
[Complete the task of finding the hot spring +30 points]
[Complete three tasks and get 100 points]
[Special task: Find the mysterious flint]
[Complete the task and get 200 points]
Everyone in Yunmianmian's group received the prompt.
The scores on the leaderboard were also updated.
However, with a change of more than 100 points, no one would know what happened to Yunmianmian. Most people thought that Yunmianmian eliminated two players.
As for the 30 points, even if they thought it was related to the task, no one would think much about it.
Wen Yushi: "Find the mysterious flint? What kind of mission is this? It can add 200 points!"
Yun Mianmian: "I don't know either. Since there are so many points to add, it must be difficult to find."
She looked around to see if there was anything strange, but everything seemed strange. After all, this was the first time she had seen such a landform.
Wen Yushi said with emotion: "It's a good thing I listened to you and came here, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten more than 100 points. Mianmian, you are really a lucky star. It seems that we still have a good chance of getting the first place!"
Yun Mianmian smiled: "Of course, we all have hope until the last moment."
Although her goal is to be the first in the region, she feels very uncertain because she is so far behind.
And not only her score is increasing, but the scores of others are also increasing.
In the group chat, Luo Ze sent a message.
"We searched for several points and found that each point was a hole."
Yun Mianmian: "Did we gain anything?"
Luo Ze: "I guess so."
He sent a picture.
Luo Ze: "There are strange patterns in these holes."
The cave was very dark, and although the pictures were a bit blurry even with the flashlight, we could barely make out what the patterns were.
Luo Ze sent several pictures one after another.
They were all what he found in each cave.
Yun Mianmian looked at each picture carefully and suddenly thought of something.
She scrolled up the chat history and found the map that had been posted in the group before.
She used her finger to draw lines on the panel, connecting all the black dots on the map, and these lines actually have intersections.
Yun Mianmian carefully compared the map and was surprised to find that the center point where all the lines intersect is where Yun Mianmian is.
This is the hot spring!
Yun Mianmian's mind suddenly had an idea, as if she had grasped something.
Since it is in the hot spring, then could the patterns in those holes be related to the mission?
This mission may take a long time to complete. For others, eliminating a few players can get 200 points, but Yun Mianmian doesn't think it will be that simple.
She decided to complete this mission.
The mysterious flint should not be an ordinary flint.
Flint is one of the materials for upgrading the ship. It would be nice if we could find some, although we can't carry too much without a backpack.
Of course, for double insurance, Yun Mianmian plans to let Luo Ze compete with Shen Qianjue for points.
Shen Qianjue can't be allowed to score all the time. We have to stop him and not let him continue to widen the gap with us.
-
Yun Mianmian squatted on the ground and drew all the pictures sent by Luo Ze.
Several seemingly unrelated pictures, after careful comparison, still found the highlights.
When combined, it looks like an arrow.
Wen Yushi saw that Yun Mianmian had been studying for a long time without saying a word, and it was almost dark.
"Mianmian? What's wrong? What should we do next?"
Yun Mianmian: "I'm still looking, it will take some time."
Yun Mianmian planned to piece together the few pictures she had.
It was not easy to piece together because she didn't have all the pictures, but it was getting dark, and the black dots on the map were too far apart. If Luo Ze had to look for every dot, it would take a lot of time and energy.
Yun Mianmian could only hope that she could find clues with these pictures, and Luo Ze had to do more important things - disturb Shen Qianjue and snatch points from him.
Wen Yushi: "Then when will we go back to the shelter?"
Yun Mianmian said calmly: "No, we're not going back. We'll rest here today."
Wen Yushi was a little surprised: "Stay here?"
Yun Mianmian: "Yes, it's not cold here. It will be dark soon. We can make a fire and soak in the hot spring." Wen
Yushi looked around. It was indeed very quiet here. No one came here at all. She didn't know why no one discovered this place, such a big lake. "This is good, I can soak in the hot spring."
She had wanted to soak in the hot spring for a long time, but she didn't have the courage to say it just now.
Yun Mianmian didn't look up. "I need to study it. Go look for branches nearby that can be used to light a fire."
Wen Yushi: "Okay, I'll go right away."
Yun Mianmian: "By the way, tell Luo Ze and the others that we're not going back."
Wen Yushi: "Okay, I'll go see if there's anything to eat nearby. We don't have enough food."
They didn't like cold mutton, so there was a little left. Although it wasn't enough to fill their stomachs, fortunately, their group hadn't been hungry recently. They had a lot of fat stored in their bodies, so being hungry wouldn't be a big deal.
When Wen Yushi came back, she found that Yun Mianmian was gone.
She was about to send a message to Yun Mianmian, but she saw Yun Mianmian's clothes by the lake.
It was too dark, and she couldn't see clearly. She walked over and saw that there seemed to be some movement in the lake. She looked carefully in the moonlight and saw someone in the water.
It was Yun Mianmian, floating in the water, with her head buried in the water, looking for something.
Wen Yushi saw that she was motionless, and called out worriedly: "Mianmian?" It was
too quiet around her, and her voice echoed in the valley, disturbing the birds in the trees. She quickly stopped talking, fearing that her voice would be heard by others.
Yun Mianmian finally showed her head, and she turned her head to look at Wen Yushi. She was about to tell Wen Yushi loudly about her discovery, but after thinking about it, she swam up.
She was soaking wet, but not cold, after all, the water was warm. She whispered, "I found it, there is a cave at the bottom of the lake!"
"Ah? Really? How did you find it!"
"Those pictures formed a few arrows. I thought about it carefully and it seemed to be an arrow going down in a loop. I wanted to look for it in the water, and I really found it."
Wen Yushi: "But, is it okay for you to go alone?" Wen
Yushi's swimming ability is average, and she probably can't hold her breath while diving.
Otherwise, she would accompany Yun Mianmian.
Yun Mianmian shook her head, "It's okay, I'll dive down first, you wait for me above, send me a message if you have anything, I'll open the panel."
Wen Yushi: "Yeah, okay!"
Yun Mianmian went into the water after explaining it to her.
Wen Yushi waited obediently up there, using a flint to make a fire.
But it was a bit troublesome here. It took her a long time to make a spark. Just when she was about to succeed, she heard voices.
"Do you feel that it's really warm around here!"
"Is there really a hot spring here?"
"Mu Baiyin, how did you know?"
Someone is coming!
Wen Yushi was shocked, and looked around for a while. Her first reaction was to hide Yun Mianmian's clothes first.
Time was running out, so Wen Yushi hid Yun Mianmian's clothes behind a stone.
The stone was not big, so it was okay to hide two pieces of clothes, but it was not realistic to hide a person.
Wen Yushi was about to hide, but it was too late.
Those people had already walked over and saw her.
"Why is there someone here!?"
Lin Quanling was walking in front, and when he saw Wen Yushi, his expression changed.
Just as he was about to speak, he heard the system prompt.
[Complete the task of finding the hot spring +30 points]
[Special task now released: find the mysterious flint]
[Complete the task and get 200 points]
