Chapter 58: Black Mist – Reality 1
Who would have thought that the vitamin tablets occasionally bought back would play such a big role? Both of them had entered the interior of the survival zone. The interior of the survival zone was very advanced, almost embodying all of humanity’s top civilizations.
Chu Yian had a premonition that if she really survived here, she might be able to live very well.
She held a hard metal badge in her hand, thinking of Teacher Lu, whom she had only met once in this round of the game. Although they had no connection, he still helped her.
“Excuse me… may I see the owner of this badge?”
Chu Yian looked at the staff member leading her, hoping to see Teacher Lu again in this round of the game.
“Sorry, D-level personnel are not allowed to move freely within the survival zone.”
The staff member said indifferently.
At the same time, a game notification sounded in her ear.
[Detected: Player has entered the current designated survival zone range.]
[Congratulations, Player Chu Yian, for becoming the 8998th player to successfully enter the survival zone and clear the game’Super Fungus’. Please prepare, you will exit the game in 10 seconds.]
As Chu Yian heard the sound, You Che next to her also heard the game clear sound.
[Congratulations, Player You Che, for becoming the 8999th player to successfully enter the survival zone…]
The 10-second countdown was quickly coming to an end. You Che, surprised, quickly reacted, “Big Chu, let’s add each other as friends in the real world! My ID is 2991876542. Oh, it’s too long. Can you tell me yours?”
“My memory is especially good, I’ll remember yours!”
“Let’s be friends! Big Chu!”
You Che’s voice grew more urgent; he really wanted to add Chu Yian as a friend.
“3210, my ID is…”
Chu Yian had just said her ID, and before she could repeat it, she was already transported back to that narrow, black-mist-shrouded space in reality.
Her identity information was updated again.
“Player: Chu Yian”
“ID: 3210”
“Gender: Female”
“Satiety: 50%”
“Cleanliness: 50%”
“Health: 80%”
“Potential: 7 (Max 10)”
“Points: 398”
This time, 100 points were added, and at the same time, that real hunger returned, along with the sticky feeling of sweat on her body and that faint odor.
Chu Yian decided not to endure it anymore. After all, she had so many points, there was no need to make herself suffer at this moment.
She clicked on the Points Mall and selected a food package and a cleaning package. After using the two packages, the obvious feeling of fullness and freshness brought a strange sense of satisfaction. Not only that, her health, which was originally 80%, instantly returned to 100%.
This peak physical state was comfortable, but mentally she was very tired. She lay on the sofa, ready to get some good rest.
Just then, the game frame suddenly popped open in front of her, and a friend request appeared from within.
[Notification! Player 2991876542 has sent you a friend request.]
You Che?
Chu Yian sat up and reached out to click ‘agree’. Immediately, in the friend chat box, she was bombarded with messages.
[Friend 2991876542]: Awoo awoo awoo, I added Big Chu!”
[Friend 2991876542]: Big Chu, I got 100 points in this round of the game, 100 points! Ah ah ah ah ah!”
[Friend 2991876542]: You’re actually a four-digit player, and starting with a 3! Such a big shot actually tricked me into thinking you were just a small fry who barely cleared the game! Luckily, I was firm in my stance and recognized you.
[Friend 2991876542]: Ah ah ah, 100 points! I never dreamed I could have so many points!”
…He sent more than a dozen messages in one breath, which showed how excited he was at the moment.
She waited for You Che to finish his excitement, then sent a message to inquire.
[Friend 3210]: What are your satiety and cleanliness levels now?”
[Friend 2991876542]: My satiety and cleanliness are both only 40% now. Oh, don’t even mention it, this feeling is really uncomfortable.”
[Friend 3210]: What about your health then?”
[Friend 2991876542]: My health is still quite high, 70%. Points are hard-earned, so I’m planning to hold out a bit longer and only buy the food package and cleaning package when my satiety and cleanliness both drop to 20%.”
Points were indeed hard-earned, and how others used their points was their business. However, having played a game together, Chu Yian still kindly reminded him.
[Friend 3210]: I recommend you always pay attention to your health and not let it get too low.”
[Friend 2991876542]: Why is that?”
[Friend 3210]: Haven’t you noticed that in the Points Mall, besides the food package and cleaning package, there’s also a medical package?”
You Che felt a bit awkward looking at the message Chu Yian sent.
Before this round of the game, he didn’t have a single point, so he hadn’t really paid much attention to the medical package outside of the food and cleaning packages. After hearing Chu Yian’s words, You Che quickly brought up the Points Mall.
Medical Package 1 = 5 points.
The number “5” made You Che feel a sting.
If there was no ranking, successfully clearing the game only gave five points, and one medical package cost 5 points. Wasn’t this highway robbery?!
You Che had no idea that such a point assassin was hidden in the Points Mall, and it didn’t even say how health points were deducted.
Was it because health also decreased after satiety and hunger dropped to a certain level?
You Che speculated in his mind, looking at the packages in the Points Mall with some hesitation.
He hesitated for a long time, then still spent two points to buy a food package and a cleaning package. Fortunately, after using the food package and cleaning package, all three values returned to 100%.
Although spending two points was a bit painful, it also brought peace of mind.
He told Chu Yian his current situation and received a “Good” from her.
Chu Yian was indeed very tired and really wanted to rest.
After sending You Che the last word, she lay on the bed and fell into a deep sleep. It was pitch black outside, and when she woke up, she didn’t know how many hours she had slept.
The forum, which was deserted when she first exited the game, was now bustling with activity.
Chu Yian scanned the World Forum and the Nearby Forum in order, and then… she actually saw her newly added friend in the Nearby Forum. You Che was chatting animatedly in the nearby channel and even created a dedicated post:
[Let’s talk about the game big shot I met in this round of the game: About the old man leading me to rush into the top 10,000 to clear the elite game…]
