Chapter 83: Second Instance

Cheng Shuili guessed correctly; the system was indeed preparing a big move.

The second instance of the Road Survival Game has begun.

【Attention all survivors, all survivors are paying attention, I'm very happy to still see you all today, seven days later!】

【Hopefully in the days ahead, I can also see you familiar faces!】

【After today ends, the instance will open randomly! At any time and any place, you might run into me; whoever happens to see me will trigger a regional instance!】

【No more nonsense, survivors, today's activity is the first instance after the Newbie Protection Period ends!】

【Today there's still no distance requirement, but this instance is mandatory participation. Basic info has been explained clearly! Next, I'll explain the specific instance rules!】

【1. This instance is team combat, 20 per group, time from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM, a full 8 hours! No food is provided inside the instance; players must bring their own food.】

【2. Any weapons obtained inside this instance can be taken out! All weapons you currently possess can also be brought into the instance!】

【3. Each monster killed grants 20 points; first to reach the endpoint gets 100 points, second gets 80, and so on—only the top five earn point rewards!】

【4. Winners and losers of this instance are determined within the team. After the instance ends, ranking is by points: top five win, bottom five lose; winners' rewards and losers' punishments are secret, while middle players get neither reward nor punishment.】

【Instance details: Hunting】

【Description: You suddenly appear on this unfamiliar road, knowing there are still 19 of your kind here, you see countless monsters, you strive to kill them…… you spot a pair of eyes lurking in the darkness…… do you dare to go investigate?】

【Current participants: 2458/2458】

Cheng Shuili sucked in a breath of cold air.

Mandatory participation isn't a problem; she had already guessed that.

But they actually have to participate for a whole day?!

Cheng Shuili opened the group chat and, as expected, saw a chorus of wails.

【Liang Shan Bo Zhu Ying Lai】: "Wuwu my lunch! I've been thinking about my lunch for so long, wuwuwu, am I really going to leave you like this?"

【Xin Xue Chuji】: "I originally wanted to trouble Wan Yi sis to make a lunchbox."

【Wan Yi】: "Sure, no trouble."

【Xin Xue Chuji】: "It's too dangerous, wuwu; if everyone on my team just chews compressed biscuits and drinks plain water, bringing my lunchbox would purely stir up hatred! Ah! And it's too troublesome to keep carrying it, so I'll just stuff two compressed biscuits into my clothing pocket."

【Liang Shan Bo Zhu Ying Lai】: "Wuwu, lunch……"

Cheng Shuili: "……"

This really is— the rope snaps where it's weakest, fate toys with the greedy pig.

【Wan Yi】: "@Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji, Boss, you don't want a lunchbox either?"

Xinxue made a lot of sense, but Cheng Shuili has space.

【Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji】: "Yeah, use your disposable lunchbox, remember to bring utensils for me."

【Wan Yi】: "If you don't say it, I won't forget either."

Cheng Shuili smiled, looked away from the system panel; the system gave a total of thirty minutes preparation time, lunch was handed to Wan Yi, so she only needed to bring a few bottles of mineral water.

The medicine was already stored inside the Abyssal Ring, no need to worry.

Then came the weapons.

Cheng Shuili picked up the rifle traded from the Rat King; frankly, she doesn't know how to use it, she's been wanting to study it these days but never had the time.

Now it's fine—she now has a whole day to study it, and together with the ammo she's stowed them in the Abyssal Ring; her luggage is pretty much ready.

Cheng Shuili donned the cold‑weather gear, put on goggles, gripped a wooden stick in her hand, and attached a dagger to her tactical belt.

It can be said to be very perfect.

Next up was waiting for Wan Yi's lunch.

Thinking of this, Cheng Shuili felt a bit uneasy; Wan Yi usually doesn't even want to walk a bit further, so what if something happens to her in the instance?

Cheng Shuili's meals had finally stabilized, and she really didn't want to change cooks.

【Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji】: "@Wan Yi, if you're not confident in killing monsters, just run to the endpoint at the start—first place gets a hundred points, equivalent to killing five monsters."

【Xin Xue Chuji】: "Boss, why did you only @ Wan Yi sis? Wuwu, I want it too—boss, just @ me again and explain once more!"

【Liang Shan Bo Zhu Ying Lai】: "Calm down, calm down, soon you'll disgust the boss away."

【Wan Yi】: "That's also an option, but you don't need to worry about me—I have 35 strength points, which should be higher than most people's."

【Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji】: "???"

This isn't right, is it?

Cheng Shuili remembered clearly that a normal person's starting points are only 20; Wan Yi doesn't even want to drive, how could she possibly have gotten that kind of attribute potion?

If Wan Yi knew what she was thinking, she'd surely jump up and smack Wu Ya's head hard—just because it's true doesn't mean we should schemingly portray her like that in our minds, a little girl.

But at this moment Wan Yi still thought Wu Ya was just surprised.

【Liang Shan Bo Zhu Ying Lai】: "Am I mistaken? Sis Wan Yi, is it really 35 strength? I just hit 30."

【Xin Xue Chuji】: "Whoa? Even the little piggy has 30? I'm apparently the weakest? I only have 29, I'm heartbroken."

Liang Shan Bo is the lucky one.

Cheng Shuili wasn't at all surprised by that number for her.

【Xin Xue Chuji】: "So you're saying Wan Yi sis has opened many attribute potions before?"

【Wan Yi】: "I've only opened one bottle; my starting points were already 30, the remaining two points came from training during this period."

Cheng Shuili: "?"

Cheng Shuili really was dazed.

Starting points 30? What kind of monster is this? Wan Yi is practically a god‑gifted powerhouse!

It wasn't just her having this doubt; the other two were also surprised and directly sent voice messages.

【Liang Shan Bo Zhu Ying Lai】: "Sis Wan Yi, your starting points are 30? The initial strength points!? 30?"

【Xin Xue Chuji】: "Sis Wan Yi, were you really a chef in your past life? You're definitely not some weightlifter, right?"

【Wan Yi】: ……

【Wan Yi】: Which athlete cooks for themselves? I also don't know why I'm so tall; I really do have some muscle lines on my arms, but it's not that exaggerated. (Picture)(Picture)

Wan Yi posted two pictures, one showing relaxed muscles, the other showing tensed muscles.

How to put it.

Cheng Shuili fell silent, this is practically two people's photos!

In the first picture Wan Yi sent, the arm hangs naturally, the muscle lines are smooth and soft, looking like an ordinary girl's arm, just a bit more toned.

The skin is fair, the wrist slender, even the faint blue veins can be seen; overall it gives a gentle, homely feeling.
