If Wendy had seen Mr. Hu's diary on Earth back then, she wouldn't have become so addicted to playing cards.
Unable to go to the Cattail Tavern, Venti could only challenge the residents of Mondstadt to a few duels. Often, he would lose track of time while fighting, and sometimes he would even forget to drink his wine.
It wasn't until the day before the national event that Wendy realized busking and selling alcohol was no longer a viable option. She found a bag and packed the apples and other items inside. Considering the desert temperature, she put a windproof cover over the bag. At least the apples wouldn't be ruined by the temperature.
After a dizzying spin, the scorching sun baked the earth. Wendy was so hot that she couldn't open her eyes as soon as she entered. As she looked around for her teammates, she heard groans coming from below.
"It's so hot... Even the ice mist flowers will melt..." Ah, what a coincidence! Wendy covered her face. She had only known each other for a short time before being dragged into this situation. Was it lucky or unlucky?
I had no choice but to help my groaning teammate find a shady spot to rest. Judging from his condition, he probably wouldn't recover for at least ten minutes.
I opened the National Fortune Shop intending to buy something, but found that the National Fortune Shop had changed. I used to be able to find things like water, but now I can't. Instead, I refreshed the shop. The items that appear are random. You're guaranteed to get water after refreshing a hundred times, but each refresh costs 10,000 National Fortune Coins. I only have about two million National Fortune Coins saved up. That's enough for two purchases, but I can't just waste them like that!
This time, the shop sells tents, stones, firewood, campfires, and some other things that are not very useful but might be useful. Venti looked around and saw that there were no leaves or anything like that, so he had no choice but to buy the tents and other items first. He didn't release them immediately, but instead manipulated the wind to blow his teammates.
As soon as Tinari regained consciousness, he saw Wendy fanning him. The desert weather was making him extremely uncomfortable. Although he had received a notification from the nation and had even gone to Seno to ask what he should bring if he were to stay in the desert for a long time, he was met with a questioning look from Seno. Tinari had no choice but to tell him the truth, and then Seno gave him a long list of things and stuffed a lot of dates and honey into his hands.
I didn't know what use date and honey would be in the desert, but I brought it anyway. I put on the sun protection I had prepared beforehand, and Tinari could barely walk in the desert. However, everything was still dizzy and my vision was still blurry.
Wendy took out an apple and handed it to Tinari. Tinari didn't stand on ceremony with Wendy, grabbed it and ate it. The apple made Tinari more sober.
"Ugh, how did I end up in the desert again?" Tinari said. The desert really wasn't a good place for him, but oh well, he was here. As far as the eye could see, it was all yellow, with not a trace of an oasis. Tinari's ears twitched, and the Hunter's Path suddenly appeared in his hand. While Wendy was still wondering what was happening, there was a rumbling sound, the ground rapidly collapsing, and the wind carried Wendy and Tinari to safety. Then, a huge centipede crawled out of the ground.
What a huge centipede! It looks like it's five meters tall and ten meters long. Those countless legs would be unbearable for anyone with trypophobia. The centipede clearly spotted Tinari and Wendy. Even though there wasn't much meat, and it might even get stuck in their teeth, a change of pace wouldn't hurt. With that thought, the centipede launched its attack on Tinari.
The plant trap appeared in Tinari's hand and was thrown towards the centipede's eyes. The trap immediately dispersed upon contact with the centipede's eyes, making it unable to see clearly and causing its attacks to become chaotic. Tinari and Wendy unleashed a barrage of attacks on the centipede's head, causing its body to writhe in pain. The pollen from the plant trap gradually dissipated, but the centipede could not withstand the combined assault and burrowed back into the ground.
“I only repelled him…” After this exercise, Tinari started to get hot again, so Wendy had to take off her cloak and cover Tinari’s head with it.
The two continued walking in the desert, but at a very slow pace. Although Tinari tried his best to speed up, Wendy also slowed down to wait for Tinari, but it was still very slow.
The sun was high overhead, and Tinari's symptoms worsened, to the point where he was delirious from the sun. But there was no shady place nearby for Tinari to rest, so Wendy had to increase the wind to cool him down.
This was an absolutely hellish start. Not only was Fengcao not reacting, but Tinari's combat effectiveness in the desert region was greatly reduced. Everyone in the live stream was very worried about the two of them. Although the American nation had been extorted by the Chinese people in the second phase, the players selected this time were all experienced in desert exploration, and each one was very strong.
Seeing the miserable state of the Dragon Kingdom and the strength of their own players, the American Kingdom unknowingly became a little arrogant.
"This time, we will definitely crush the Dragon Kingdom under our feet!"
"Their players are dragging the team down. Even a god can't take care of his teammates!"
"We really hope some kind of monster will come and wipe out the Dragon Kingdom right now!"
Whether it was bad luck or just jinx, that giant centipede came back with a vengeance, and to make matters worse, it brought along its minions.
They lack martial ethics and resort to sneak attacks!
But Wendy was only thinking about avoiding the fight and had little interest in fighting the centipedes. She carried the sunburnt Tina to find a shady spot.
Thank goodness, they found an oasis. There was a small cave nearby, just big enough for two people to fit in. After confirming that there were no other creatures in the cave, Wendy laid his cloak on the ground, placed Tinari on the cloak, took an apple, washed it at the water source in the oasis, and then rolled it back and forth on Tinari's forehead.
Although it didn't have much effect, at least the person was awake. Tinari could only apologize, but Wendy said that they were teammates and should look after each other.
This is only a temporary place to stay; they can't stay long. The appearance of an oasis in the desert means there must be creatures nearby. Every living thing needs water, but Wendy and Tinari don't know how powerful those creatures are.
“Phoenix is also involved in the national destiny this time. If we’re lucky, we can find the princess of the Psionic Land. If the two of us join forces, we’ll probably be stronger,” Wendy said. Tinari’s mind started working. He was the one holding everyone back, and what Wendy said made a lot of sense. Rather than going it alone, it was better to seek cooperation.
“Let’s continue our journey after noon. It’s a bit cold at night, but we can still walk,” Wendy said. Tinari nodded. The afternoon sun wasn’t so harsh, and Tinari could walk on his own.
(My liver hurts from playing on my small account, and my Wanderer's weapon is off-target.)
Why:( )
