Chapter 5 Picking Up! Facing the Threat

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 The sun rises and the moon sets.

After graduating from college, many people no longer live for themselves. They have the expectations of their parents and relatives, as well as the pressure of society.

Modern society is like a mold, slowly imprinting individuals with distinct personalities into similar individuals, working as screws day after day in the larger structure of society.

Sometimes he even stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows. With the rapid development of science and technology, looking at the "prosperity" outside the window, even the real world felt strange to Sumo.

After this time travel, despite the huge pressure to survive, without the stimulation of the alarm clock, Sumo experienced the joy of "sleeping until he wakes up naturally" for the first time in a long time.

When he woke up in the dark, he heard good news from the survival system again.

【January 2nd on the last calendar day】

[You came to a strange world, and you were very hesitant, but you finally built the shelter and you were very excited. (Survival Points +50)]

[You have upgraded the water collection device to ensure daily water demand (survival point +5)]

[You have built a bed that is barely big enough to sleep on. Do you think it will greatly improve your happiness in the apocalypse (survival points +5)]

[You built a simple set of furniture (survival point +1)]

[Your food is pretty good (survival point +1)]

[Scanning the host’s living environment, survival points are being evaluated, and 11 survival points were obtained today.]

...

In the final settlement, you have gained a total of 73 survival points today!

Remaining survival points: 103 points!

103 points!

Sumo's eyes lit up. After spending 75 survival points yesterday to expand the well water extractor, today the survival points returned to 103 points again.

"Looking at it this way, the more actions I take every day, the more survival points I have. Even if I keep trying, I can still get more than a dozen points steadily."

Sumo breathed a sigh of relief.

He was afraid that this apocalyptic survival system would be like the systems in the novels he read on Earth, forcing him to do some tasks that would be obliterated if not completed.

Even going too far, forcing him to do something against his will will lead to a series of bloody things such as betrayal and awakening.

"But today we must find a way to upgrade the base's lighting and ventilation problems, otherwise people will fall to death in the base before they starve to death."

After closing the wooden door, the base was very dark, with only a ray of light flowing through the gap in the wooden door.

Following the feeling, holding a wooden spear like a guide stick, Soma walked to the stairs in the dark, walked up the stairs, and opened the wooden door of the shelter.

The morning sunshine flows in through the open gap along with the chill.

After getting used to the stimulation brought by the strong light, Sumo cautiously leaned on the crack of the door and looked outside for a while. After confirming that there was no danger, he opened the wooden door completely.

The dull air in the underground shelter began to circulate as the wooden door opened.

The wooden boards placed at the entrance of the shelter yesterday were all intact, and there was no sign of any mutant monster coming to attack.

After breathing fresh air for a while, Somo returned to the shelter.

First, he came to the well and lifted the bucket. Somo harvested what he had accumulated throughout the night.

[Record]: You got 920ml of water.

[Record]: Your current water storage capacity is 970ml.

Today's harvest plus yesterday's leftover is not a lot, but it's still a little short of exchanging monster illustrations.

Under normal circumstances, a person takes a sip of water, which is about 20ml-30ml.

Sitting on the wooden chair, Somo drank about three sips of water.

Feeling the sweetness in his mouth, Sumo opened the trading panel.

Currently, he only needs to use water to meet the minimum daily survival needs, and he plans to trade all the remaining water.

Only by using water in the early stage to exchange for enough resources can you get ahead of everyone.

There were more transaction records today than yesterday. When he clicked on the collection panel, Sumo felt happy.

I don’t know why, but yesterday there was a monster illustrated book with one liter of water. After a night of fermentation, the seller Chen Ping’an took the initiative to reduce the price by 300ml, and now you only need 700ml to buy it.

The pear hanging on the other side has also been reduced from 100ml to 50ml.

"Big money!"

Sumo was overjoyed. After putting 800ml of water in the inventory, he directly bought the monster illustrated book and two water pears.

The glory of the transaction flashed, and the water in the inventory disappeared, turning into a monster illustration and two water pears.

Taking out the illustrated book and the pear and putting them on the table, Sumo first picked up the fist-sized pear and bit into it, immediately feeling the taste in his mouth.

Although the water content in the pear is less than 50ml, the pear flesh can satisfy your hunger. The pear water contains vitamins. It would be a pleasure to eat one in the apocalypse.

However, Sumo, who was eating pear at this time, did not know that the world was chatting, and because of his generous photo, it triggered a heated discussion.

"Chen Ping'an, this old dog's picture book was taken away by someone, and it contains 700ml of water. Damn it, he is really a rich man."

"The buyer seems to be Somo? This person sold 200ml yesterday and 700ml today. Is it too much water?"

"Can Su Shen come out and say a word? How did he dig out the water? Please give me a guide to the Book of Thousand Bloods (1/10000)"

"Book of Thousands of Blood (2/10000)"

"I still have food here. Does Su Shen need some bread? I'm going to die of thirst!"

"If nothing else happens, he should have dug a place to store water. Alas, he is so lucky."

....

A large group of people discussed the matter.

In one day, the name Somo has been imprinted on many people's hearts.

Others were eager to break 1ml of water in half and drink it, but he was the only one who had the luxury to exchange 700ml for a useless illustrated book.

On the other side, after eating a pear and the last meat bun last night, Sumo picked up a book.

[Tip]; Whether to use the Monster Manual, once used, the transaction cannot be recycled.

"yes"

As Somo finished speaking, after the four functions on the game panel, a function called "Picture Book" appeared again.

Somo clicked on it.

A dense list appears.

...

【Dead Leaf Snake】

【Green-headed turtle】

【Mutated Goshawk】

...

Choose Leaf Snake.

check the details.

[Dead leaf snake]: The back of the snake is dark brown with vermilion horizontal spots, the color of the belly is olive gray, with white dots scattered in between, the head and neck are light yellowish white, and have dark brown markings.

Active aggression is weak.

[Weakness]: Extremely afraid of fire and blunt objects

[Risk factor]:80

In addition to the information description, there is also a 3D image of the leaf snake, which can be viewed by adjusting the viewing angle.

After observing several biological illustrations, Sumo exclaimed that he had made a lot of money.

Although this illustrated book may not seem to be of much use now, the weaknesses marked on it are extremely useful. Hundreds of creatures, large and small, can save a lot of effort.

And this illustrated book also has an extremely buggy function.

"scanning!"

As Sumo finished speaking, a radar-like graphic appeared on the game panel, with a red exclamation mark appearing below it.

[Detected a mutated camouflaged chameleon 265 meters away from the player, risk factor 65, please treat with caution]

【Today’s count 2/3】

"Really?"

Following the place scanned by the radar, Sumo climbed out of the shelter door and suddenly broke into a cold sweat.

The mutated camouflaged chameleon was located exactly where he cut down the tree yesterday. Even if he actively observed it now, it would be difficult to see where the chameleon was lying.

Hold the wooden spear in your hand tightly.

Kill him now?

Of course not.

"This is too dangerous. Let's not talk about the sharpness of the wooden spear. With my half-skilled skills, I might have been delivering food in the past."

After opening the illustrated book and finding the mutant camouflage chameleon illustrated book, Sumo patiently read it.

[Mutated Camouflage Chameleon]: The mutated skin greatly enhances the chameleon's camouflage. The poison attached to its tongue allows it enough time to kill its prey after a sneak attack. It is very aggressive.

[Weakness]: The mutation enhances the camouflage ability, but makes it slow in reaction and fragile in body.

[Risk coefficient]: 65

It's not that there is no solution, Sumo thought thoughtfully.

Under such blazing sunshine, chameleons always need to eat and drink, right?

Did you wait until it was most tired to attack, and then take advantage?

"Find a way to upgrade your weapons first, and then take advantage of the sun to be the hottest, go out and deal with this insidious beast."

Having made up his mind, Sumo, who was feeling a great sense of crisis, did not intend to go out to collect materials. He returned directly to the shelter, closed the wooden door, and lit the torch.

Sitting on the wooden chair, he took out the wooden spear and put it on the table. Soma looked at it intently.

[Wooden Spear]: A brand new wooden spear. The wooden spearhead has a worrying lethality. It is not recommended to be your main weapon for survival.

Upgrade direction one: Upgrade the overall material and improve the sharpness of the spearhead, which requires survival points (5)

Upgrade direction two: Upgrade the overall material and add an electric power-assist device to greatly increase the shooting speed. Survival points are required (40)
