Chapter 193: Disaster Survival System (22)

"Hi!"

That foreign player from yesterday was also gathering seafood.

Seeing Xie Yang, he tentatively approached and asked, "Where did you spend the night last night? You didn't run into any danger, did you?"

Xie Yang kept her distance and said, "We are fine, thanks for your concern!"

After saying this, she ran quickly to a place with reefs, stood on the reef closest to the sea, threw the baited fishing net with force, and then pressed the rope she was holding in her hand under a rock to prevent the fishing net from being washed away by the waves.

After setting the net, she took the opportunity to rummage for seafood around the reefs.

Oysters, mussels, barnacles, sea snails, crabs, starfish, octopuses...

Xie Yang held an iron bucket in one hand and iron tongs in the other, catching one with every clip!

The iron bucket had contained Condensate Oil yesterday; although she had washed it, she still didn't feel at ease, so she lined the bucket with a large trash bag, scooped some seawater into the bag, and tossed the seafood she caught inside to keep them alive.

That foreign player had been observing Xie Yang, wanting to approach and strike up a conversation several times, but was scared off by a cold, indifferent look from her.

He hadn't forgotten the fierce way she had kicked a wild boar or island rabbit unconscious yesterday, killing everything in her path; he was no match for her.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have climbed a Coconut Tree and suffered through the whole night.

This dungeon island was far too different from what he had imagined!

Aside from coconuts, mangoes, and other fruits, as well as the small seafood left on the shore after the tide went out, he hadn't managed to catch anything.

He couldn't beat the wild boars, couldn't catch the island rabbits, and had almost died under their fangs and sharp teeth.

This island was too unfriendly to him!

If he had known, he would have been better off selling the Dungeon Secret Key he had obtained to other players!

The foreign player beat his chest and stamped his feet in frustration.

Xie Yang was also observing the other person in secret.

This person didn't look very bright, and his combat ability didn't seem like much either; if he dared to have any crooked ideas about snatching her things, he shouldn't be a match for her.

However, his act of picking coconuts did remind her of something.

She should also pick some coconuts to take back!

It didn't have to be coconuts; any fruit would do!

She didn't know when she would be able to eat the Chinese cabbage, so for now, she was relying entirely on those lemons for vitamins.

But no matter how many lemons she had, there would come a day when they ran out.

Thinking this, once the four iron buckets were just about full of seafood, Xie Yang went to climb a Coconut Tree to pick coconuts.

【Host, it's time to check in!】

At six o'clock sharp, the dedicated Sub-system came online, full of energy, reminding Xie Yang not to forget to check in.

Xie Yang diverted her attention to check in.

【Ding! Material Treasure Chest triggered!】

【Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining one 5kg Seafood Gift Pack, one 5kg Fruit Basket, one 1kg box of Sea Duck Eggs, and one bag of 1kg Tropical Fruit and Vegetable Seeds.】

"!!!"

She hadn't expected that just checking in on a warm and pleasant island would yield such a harvest?

"Awesome!"

"As expected of the Disaster Survival System! So useful!"

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know how to survive!"

Xie Yang showered it with endless flattery, coaxing the Sub-system until the two antennas on its square head were almost sizzling with excitement.

The Main System sighed: The Host isn't even putting any heart into her pua now, yet there's still a silly system falling for it.

After Xie Yang finished picking coconuts from the nearby trees, she noticed the foreign player picking mangoes not far away, so she went over and picked a few as well.

The wild mangoes weren't very big and tasted quite sour, so Xie Yang didn't pick too many.

The Material Box that had just dropped contained a bag of Tropical Fruit and Vegetable Seeds, which included mangoes; she would arrange to plant them as soon as she got back!

Having harvested forty or fifty coconuts and a dozen or so wild mangoes, Xie Yang returned to the large reef and retrieved her fishing net.

The amount of seafood caught wasn't huge, but there was a good variety: sea bass, sea crucian carp, black porgy, grouper, as well as a few thin, long sardines, and a dozen or so shrimp two or three fingers wide and two or three crabs.

She couldn't say she was satisfied or dissatisfied.

Even if she wasn't satisfied, it didn't matter; once the 24 hours were up, she was ejected from the dungeon and returned to the Shelter.

Before she could even sit down to catch her breath, she received a message from Fu Zhangzheng asking if she had returned safely.

"I'm back! I'll send you the items once I've sorted them out!"

Aside from the Condensate Oil he had collected himself, the other supplies were still with her.

Fu Zhangzheng: "Glad you're back! No rush on the items, get some good rest first!"

There was no time to rest; just as she exited the private chat window, Ming Hao sent a voice message over:

"Holy crap! Big shot! Your identity was exposed?"

"No, no! That guy probably got it wrong! He actually said you were a man! Hahahaha!"

Ming Hao laughed wantonly.

"..." Xie Yang was confused, "What are you talking about?"

"Big shot, didn't you enter the Fengqing Island dungeon? There were two others who entered at the same time as you; one is also from our Dragon Country, and the other is a player from another country."

Ming Hao chattered on about the gossip he had seen on the World Channel:

"That player came back and exposed your identity on the World Channel, saying you were like a star of misfortune holding a dagger, but I guess he was talking about 9854, our other big shot player. That guy would never guess that our big shot Wanyi is a 'big heroine', hehe!"

"..."

It turned out that after the player from Maple Leaf Country returned from the dungeon, he had posted a thread on the World Channel about the true identities of GY and GY09854.

He thought he had exposed the identities of Xie Yang and the other person.

But in reality, he only guessed one sentence correctly, and that was—"Both of these people are Dragon Country players."

The Dragon Country players treated it as a spectacle, snickering as they returned to the Regional Channel to tell the others:

【Those players actually believed it! They are still guessing the real-world identity of the big shot Wanyi; quite a few people are guessing 'he' is from the Military, and others are guessing he used to be a mercenary.】

【No matter how they guess, none of us are allowed to reveal anything! Lest they focus their firepower on dealing with the big shot Wanyi!】

【Right! We must cover for our big shot!】

【It's just a pity for my Brother Fifty-Four.】

Fu Zhangzheng:...

What the hell is Brother Fifty-Four?

While Xie Yang was organizing supplies, she stole a moment of leisure to join the fun on the Regional Channel, took a screenshot for Fu Zhangzheng, and asked him if he minded taking the blame for her.

He replied with a smile: "It is my honor!"

The two of them kept their stories consistent, neither going to the World Channel to clarify, and continued to focus on their own low-profile development.

There are quite a few players on the World Channel who have always looked down on the Dragon Country and Dragon Country players, acting with their noses in the air and full of disdain whenever Dragon Country players are mentioned.

Now that they learned the big shot Wanyi, whom they admired so much, was actually a Dragon Country player, how could they stand it!

They began to form cliques to ostracize Dragon Country players, arrogantly forbidding other players from engaging in Trading with Dragon Country players.

【Whoever dares to Trading with Dragon Country players, wait until the game ends and you return to reality, and wait for our great empire to sanction your respective countries!】

【Whoever dares to Trading with Dragon Country players, be prepared to be sanctioned!】

For a time, the World Channel was thick with the smell of Gunpowder.

Everywhere there were crazy remarks slandering the Dragon Country and ostracizing Dragon Country players.

Those players whose respective countries were indeed weaker really did not dare to continue Trading with Dragon Country players.

They were afraid of bringing the grudges and entanglements from the game into reality and becoming sinners of their respective countries.
