Chapter 197: Survival Game System (26)
The World Channel was filled with sighs and laments.
Relatively speaking, the atmosphere in the Dragon Country's Regional Channel was much better; so far, everyone had advanced, which gave everyone a lot of confidence.
【The first season of disasters has been weathered without any danger. Thanks to the contributions and help of Wanyi-expert @GY and Wusi-expert @GY09854! Without you, there would be no me alive right now!】
【I also want to thank the two experts! If it weren't for the ideas the two experts helped me with, I would likely be gone!】
【This life of mine, Old Wu, was given by Wanyi-expert and Wusi-expert! From now on, as long as I, Old Wu, am alive, whatever you tell me to do, I will do! No two words about it!】
Other players also posted one after another to express their gratitude.
They all understood in their hearts: if it weren't for Xie Yang and Fu Zhangzheng pulling them up time and time again, allowing them to buy on credit or trade with all sorts of messy supplies, and even taking out their private stockpiles at critical moments to help them trade for Volcanic Rock and Red Clay on the World Channel, they would never have been able to upgrade to level three with the meager Gold Coins and shabby supplies they had on hand.
If they hadn't upgraded to level three, with their weak strength, they would have likely died in last night's blizzard, just like those players on the World Channel who had disappeared.
This life-saving grace, they would keep in their hearts!
Even if the two's starting point was merely to keep the Dragon Country's Protective Shield from shrinking, they were still grateful!
After seeing this, Xie Yang and Fu Zhangzheng jointly posted a pinned post:
【However many of us entered the game, that is how many will return to reality! We strive for One Less Not Allowed!】
Seeing the words "One Less Not Allowed," everyone's eyes turned red, and they followed up with posts below:
【Compatriots, I'm tearing up!】
【Let's rename our Regional Channel to "One Less Not Allowed" from now on!】
【Damn it! I don't believe we can't clear this god-forsaken game!】
【Isn't it just surviving three more seasons of disasters! You thieving heavens! Bring it on!】
【I used to often teach my son not to give up easily; now, I give these words to myself: Li Daqiang, don't give up easily! There are still old and young at home waiting for you to go back!】
【Charge, charge, charge! Everyone charge! This god-forsaken game will be cleared by us sooner or later!】
Seeing everyone so passionate and high-spirited, Xie Yang felt embarrassed to pour cold water on them at this moment.
She thought she would remind everyone of the potential crisis brought by continued ice melting later.
Perhaps she wouldn't need to remind them; once everyone calmed down, they might think of this themselves.
She intended to open the two Blind Box Treasure Chests rewarded for being first on both rankings right now.
【Congratulations to player GY for obtaining Points*1000, Gold Coins*, Backpack Slot*10; they have been deposited into the player's backpack.】
【Congratulations to player GY for obtaining Shelter Upgrade Card*2, Merge Card*2, Towing Slot*2; they have been deposited into the player's backpack.】
This time's rewards truly exceeded Xie Yang's expectations.
Not to mention the large amount of Points, Gold Coins, and Backpack Slots worth 1000 Points, just this Shelter Upgrade Card could actually upgrade the Shelter directly into a ship.
【Using this card can upgrade the Shelter into a Voyage Ship. Upgrade conditions: Golden Phoebe Wood*1000, High-purity Quartz Ore*1000, Iron Ore*1000, Copper Ore*500, Titanium Ore*100, Palladium Ore*100.】
【Detected that the player does not meet the upgrade conditions; unable to upgrade for the time being.】
"..."
Xie Yang checked her Backpack Slot; except for the High-purity Quartz Ore, she had all the other supplies, and they had reached the quantities required for the upgrade.
That is to say, as long as she got the High-purity Quartz Ore next, she could upgrade the Shelter into a Voyage Ship at any time?
No need for ship blueprints, and no need for her to build the ship by hand?
This was much easier than she had imagined! She had originally thought she would have to build the ship herself!
Xie Yang shared this information with Fu Zhangzheng and asked about his ranking on the list by the way.
His ore reserves might not be as much as hers, but he possessed twenty or thirty thousand liters of Condensate Oil; he should have a place on the Wealth Ranking.
Sure enough, Xie Yang heard him say:
"Third on the Comprehensive Ranking, second on the Wealth Ranking, but this time it wasn't a Blind Box Treasure Chest given."
Fu Zhangzheng didn't treat her as an outsider and reported the reward supplies directly:
"The Comprehensive Ranking rewarded 100 Points, 3000 Gold Coins, 3 Backpack Slots; the Wealth Ranking rewarded a Shelter Upgrade Card, a Towing Slot, and a bag of Vegetable Seeds. I was busy just now and haven't had time to study them yet."
Xie Yang suspected that the Survival Game System saw that he handed over the Blind Box Treasure Chests to her to open every time, and because her Luck Value had been relatively high recently, she could not only open good things but also often obtained double the happiness, which somewhat disrupted the blind box market, so it stopped issuing him Blind Box Treasure Chests and changed to issuing supplies directly?
Whether she guessed right or not, there was no prize.
She shrugged and focused her attention on the two items he had opened, saying to Fu Zhangzheng:
"I also opened a Shelter Upgrade Card and a Towing Slot, which shows that our previous line of thinking was correct. The Residence Island will be submerged by seawater sooner or later, and we must leave by boat."
"In that case, there is a very serious problem," Fu Zhangzheng frowned and said, "Other players, because their rankings are relatively low, may not have much chance to obtain a Shelter Upgrade Card. I'm worried that if I reveal it to them in advance, they will become anxious."
"Then let's not say anything for now." Xie Yang pondered slightly, "The second season of disasters hasn't been officially released yet. Perhaps the difficulty of this season will be lower and the timeline will be longer; maybe everyone will have a chance to obtain an upgrade card."
Just as Xie Yang finished speaking, a string of electronic sounds came to her ears:
【Good morning, players!】
【First of all, congratulations to everyone for withstanding the test of the Low Temperature Season. Hereby, each surviving player is rewarded with a Blind Box Treasure Chest*1.】
【The Low Temperature Season has passed. The second season—Diversity Fusion Disaster has started! The disaster level for this season is Level One! The duration cannot be estimated for the time being! Please survive flexibly according to the ever-changing disaster situation! Good luck to everyone!】
The Survival Game System left a Blind Box Treasure Chest for every player and then made no more sound.
Xie Yang furrowed her brows because of the "Diversity Fusion Disaster" in its words.
After the ice on the sea surface melted, it wasn't enough that it gradually submerged the islands; there were other disasters?
What could it be?
She recalled the islands in the real world; what were the most common natural disasters?
Typhoons?
Tsunamis?
Sea tornadoes?
Other players were also arguing crazily about this on the Regional Channel and World Channel.
While arguing, they opened their Blind Box Treasure Chests, and the topic of discussion deviated as a result:
【Huh? Why is this Blind Box Treasure Chest different from the ones before? I opened a Towing Slot; what kind of thing is this?】
【I opened a Merge Card; it says it triggers a merge at a specific moment, but I can't figure out what it's for.】
【My god! Friends! You absolutely cannot imagine, our Shelter can be upgraded into a ship that fears no wind or waves! Does this mean we are going to live on the sea? Oh my god!】
【!!!】
The news about the Shelter being able to upgrade into a ship instantly overshadowed the topic of the "Diversity Fusion Disaster."
After everyone found out, they naturally started to feel anxious—
【Does that mean those of us who didn't open a Shelter Upgrade Card are going to be left on the island forever? The sea level is getting higher and higher; I won't be drowned on the island, will I?】
【It really is! The ice and snow on the island have melted and flowed into the sea; the water level will definitely rise. Isn't this season supposed to be a Diversity Fusion Disaster? Could it be like the real world and bring a tsunami? Then we're truly finished!】
【I thought that after surviving the Extreme Cold, we would welcome the warmth of spring, but I didn't expect we still couldn't escape the word 'death'!】
