Before clicking on the family selection, Xu Zhi had already imagined what kind of family might appear this time. There were even alien species, so it shouldn't be a problem to get something strange, right?
However, she had not thought about choosing any aquatic animals. After all, Yuncheng is an inland within an inland, and there are not even a few large rivers. There is no use for those aquatic animals or ocean overlords.
So these can be discussed later. The choice now must be to expand the capabilities of the family members.
But when Xu Zhi clicked into the selection interface, an unexpected line of prompts popped up.
【Are you in a hurry to make this decision?】
[Your next choice of family will be in the distant future, so you should be more cautious.]
"Um?"
Xu Zhi frowned as he looked at this line of writing: "Didn't I train the new family members to level 20?"
[As the life level of the selectable Familia increases and your own strength improves, the threshold for opening a new Familia will also increase. 】
"If I don't choose now, will there be a better choice later?"
[Your walking route is different from other extraordinary beings, and your family has also changed into new branches. Now you are closer to midnight. 】
[Perhaps, you only need one more item before you can step into midnight. 】
[And when you witness the true appearance of Midnight for the first time, your appearance will also be perceived by some beings, and you will be involved in a deeper storm. Danger and opportunities coexist, and you will have more choices. 】
【Perhaps, you can win their favor.】
"What are you talking about?" Xu Zhi frowned, wanting to have the narrator say something humane.
"So what else do I need?"
[An item that can provide you with shelter in the middle of the night, such as a lantern.]
"It's definitely not an ordinary lantern, right?"
【of course not.】
[Go to the forging interface and invest 10 high-level lamp attribute cores. You will get a list of materials. After collecting the above materials, you can forge this lantern. 】
"New function? Why didn't you tell me before that there was this trick?"
[You did not have enough high-level cores to enable this function before.]
"...Too."
Xu Zhi's mouth twitched, a list of materials, 10 high-level cores!
This is robbery!
"But why did you invest in the light attribute core? Why can the light attribute core unlock the material list?"
Xu Zhi asked while investing in the core. Judging from the attribute rules briefly described by the narrator before, she felt that [Qi] or [Casting] might be more in line with the attributes being invested. After all, [Qi] means opening and dismantling.
It is also reasonable to break down this material list.
Xu Zhi originally thought that the narrator would reply to her seriously, but unexpectedly, an unexpected line popped up on the screen.
【You have so many questions?】
Xu Zhi:?
"You think I'm annoyed, right?"
[Unlocked forging blueprint: Lantern]
[Materials required: Level 25 exotic branches, 2 moths, snake skin, a bird feather, and spider's web.]
"...This list of materials is really tailor-made."
Except for that "spider's web".
Even without using his brain, he knew that it must be the mutated spider's web. After all, Xu Zhi knew what the game wanted at a glance from the previous materials.
"But why did you ignore my words?"
【......】
[Please try to find the list of materials. Even if you collect all the materials, it will be difficult to build it successfully at one time, so be sure to prepare several copies.]
It's understandable, after all, she has no [casting] ability at all.
Where to find the mutated spider's web?
Anyway, she was planning to go on a long trip, so she happened to be looking for it while walking.
After thinking about it, Xu Zhi randomly chose a direction that the family members had not gone to before, and threw the dead wood on the passenger seat. Xiao Zhen hovered over the car to look for traces of mutated spiders and people. The dog huddled in the back seat, and
Xiao Yi turned into a black bracelet and clung to Xu Zhi's wrist.
While driving towards the unknown front, Xu Zhi casually threw a few [cup] attribute cores in the passenger seat. After all, this little alien was still a little short of level 25.
And Xu Zhi also planned to consider going to the outside world to trade with other people after officially seeing Midnight's true face.
"By the way, do I have to go into the house at night? Or can I sleep in the car?"
She looked at the game screen placed in front of her, and the narrator quickly gave her an answer.
[Currently you must enter the house.]
"Okay." It seems that the car cannot be used as a temporary shelter, but it is normal.
Xu Zhi's driving speed was not fast. After all, she was not in a hurry and was still looking for things and people. Every night, she would temporarily park the car on the roadside and find an empty house to live in temporarily.
It wasn't until the morning of the third day that she found a living person nearby under Xiao Zhen's guidance.
The old residential area was southwest of the third ring road in Yuncheng. Now she has followed the third ring road to the north. Walking a little further here, she will reach the countryside. The population is relatively sparse, but there is a lot of land.
The style of the building is also older.
The place where the living figure was found was outside a self-built small western-style building. This area is close to the national highway. The buildings are not densely packed. It is flatter than the mountains to the south, so there are no traces of human activity.
They are all easy to catch.
Xu Zhi drove the car outside the small western-style building where there were people. When he heard the sound of the car, the people in the house came out. The person walking in the front was a girl with short hair, followed by four or five animals.
The native dog of different colors, baring its teeth warily at the car, also held a homemade shotgun in its hand, while the six middle-aged men and women who followed her all had knives or hoes in their hands.
Looking at it this way, he doesn't look like a fanatical believer.
Xu Zhi let Gouzi stay in the car, and he got out of the car without carrying any weapons. He even calmly said to the nervous crowd in front of him: "Don't be afraid, I was just passing by and saw someone here who wanted to inquire about something."
Then she looked at these unmutated local dogs and the short-haired girls who were surrounded by them: "Are these the dogs you raise? That's awesome, I also have a dog."
From the fall of Yuncheng to now, Xu Zhi has never seen a normal animal. How can these local dogs survive?
No, maybe there is someone here with super power that keeps them normal.
Her words did not make the group of people relax. They even looked at Xu Zhi with more vigilance and asked, "Where are you from? What do you want to find out?"
Xu Zhi felt that the attitude of these people was a bit strange. It was normal to be wary, but these people were a little too wary. Especially when they heard that she wanted to inquire about something, the nervousness on their faces could hardly be concealed.
