Weird Survival: I can devour thousands of talents

Chapter 3 003: Night Walk

[Night Walk: When in the night, all attributes are slightly improved.]

Almost at the moment when [Night Walk] appeared in the talent column, the buff effect covered Ling Xiao's entire body.

The most obvious changes in his body amazed him.

But now is not the time to research.

From the monster’s sneak attack just now, it can be seen that this survival “game” is extremely real!
If he is not careful, he will be beheaded and die in this ghost place whose name he doesn’t even know!
After receiving the information from the panel, Ling Xiao stood up immediately. Since the wound on his chest was not serious, he ignored it for the time being. He picked up the torch and looked at the time on it. There were still twenty-five minutes left.

Taking into account the treacherous exploration, the life-and-death confrontation, and the daze after completing the mission, it took Ling Xiao a full five minutes after leaving the campfire to complete his first "exploration". His legs and feet were indeed not very flexible.

But the final ranking can also reflect the current situation of other survivors:

The vast majority chose the safer option, huddling by the campfire, scrolling through the news feeds, anxiously awaiting the rescue that might arrive...

This is certainly not stupid.

But Ling Xiao, who received feedback and benefits, knew that all this was not a dream...

Perhaps only when the bonfire goes out can they face reality and throw themselves into this "survival game" in complete despair or with hope.

At the moment, there is more than enough time for the return trip.

Glancing over the Night Shadow Rabbit's corpse, which had died in a tragic and terrifying state, Ling Xiao tried to reach out. His scalp tingled slightly as a flash of white light appeared. He had actually succeeded!?

There was nothing left but a pool of black and red blood on the ground, and no trace of the monster remained. Even the severed head had disappeared.

And in the backpack, a display of [Night Shadow Rabbit Corpse (To be decomposed)] suddenly appeared.

Ling Xiao was once again shocked by the technical capabilities of this "game"!

Once raw, twice cooked.

Relying on the induction of torches and bonfires, Ling Xiao walked quickly back to the safe zone "cleared" by the embers of the gods.

The malice surrounding him grew increasingly restless, circling around him unwillingly, perhaps attracted by the smell of blood, or perhaps due to the heightened perception from walking at night.

The pressure suddenly escalated, and the rolling gray fog brought a sense of crisis like thorns on the back, as if a new monster would pounce out in the next second!
I slid the 100 meters back in fear.

After the gray fog in front of him was sandwiched between strong and weak flames and melted and dissipated, Ling Xiao's short and flat breathing could finally be relieved.

Return the torch to its original owner.

Sit by the campfire.

Ling Xiao, feeling particularly relieved, began to check the gains of this trip.

There are three items in the backpack.

Finally, the [Gift of Departure] that can only be unlocked after completing the trial is very curious.

Congratulations on completing the Trial Quest and becoming a true Explorer! Additional rewards have been added! Accept this gift, it will help you embark on your legendary journey!

[Obtain: Replenishing Potion, Self-filled Map, Time Watch, Simple Set*1, Food Box*1]

[Get additional reward: Talent Sublimation Potion Recipe [Normal]*1]

I read the descriptions of these hard-earned treasures one by one.

Ling Xiao sucked in a breath of cold air, feeling that any one of them was so terrifying, a miraculous creation that completely exceeded the original scientific knowledge!

For example, the replenishing potion at the front of the list.

【Replenishing Potion (Bound)】

[Quality: Excellent]

[Condition: All six attributes do not exceed 5]

[Special Effect: Completes all injuries and deficiencies, reaching the current individual health standard. If used in good condition, gains 1 free attribute point.]

[Comment: It can replenish everything and treat anything. The only drawback is that it only comes in one bottle!]

With a thought, the light spot condensed into a sci-fi silver-white syringe gun in Ling Xiao's hand.

This is a miracle medicine, just take it out and give yourself a dose first!
I felt nothing when the needle was inserted into my elbow, and when I moved the needle away after the real-time display reached the bottom, I couldn't even find the pinhole.

A warm current spread from top to bottom, and the solid warmth gradually accumulated and filled up from the soles of the feet, just like a thermos being filled with boiling water.

Ling Xiao was trembling with pleasure, and while enjoying it, he also thought of something:
The description of this thing is conceptual. Can it cure all diseases?
If it were true, what a huge storm would it cause?!
Some of those who are still struggling were definitely shaken to hear the news.

Although enduring eight hours will eventually be useful, some people with existing medical conditions might choose to take the risk...

After all, some illnesses are truly torturous, and this 100-meter run isn't an unattainable goal...

Ling Xiao tuned out the channel.

The hot topic of discussion is indeed the replenishing potion!

It could be that one of the seven mentioned it, or it could be that an explorer who completed the trial after him experienced this wonder.

The flashing speeches were more intense than the picture battle, and it was impossible to tell who started it first.

However, after taking a few glances at the latest news, Ling Xiao caught the "Dragon King".

There's no way, it appears too frequently and is too distinctive.

One cannot help but pay attention.

"@I'm Thresh, you're Demacia, haha! They've even come up with fake advertising slogans like cure-alls. Even though the current situation is a bit strange, don't treat others like fools, okay?"

"@I'm Thresh, you're Demacia, man, what the hell is going on with this fog? Did you really complete that Trial quest?!"

"@I'm Thresh, you're Demacia, I think you have bad intentions, trying to make up lies to trick us into scouting for you!"

……

Obviously, this person, like Ling Xiao, is already a "real" explorer.

All signs indicate that the survivors' choices will lead to completely different results.

If you don't rush out, or hesitate for a long time, then the upper limit of your innate talent will not be epic, and the extra rewards will most likely not appear, and you may not even be able to encounter hidden tasks.

Ultimately, the clues can be seen from the panel.

A series of differentiated treatments are all to encourage those who start exploring first!
This survival game, or perhaps the people behind it, want to see "explorers" more than "survivors"!
And this was just the beginning; there would definitely be more similar choices to make on the so-called journey. Ling Xiao thought he had figured it out as his mind raced.

At this time, the "comrade" was also scolded and became furious, and began to swear, showing his true aggressive power.

I'm Thresh, you're Demacia: "Damn it! What a bunch of wimps! I was kind enough to give you some information, but you're all barking like dogs!"

"Don't believe it! You absolutely mustn't believe it! I want to see what you look like in a few hours! Anyway, I'm ahead, so just wait, wait patiently! Just don't cry later!"

Ling Xiao, who was diving silently, frowned and paid more attention to the grumpy brother.

This person also has extra gains...

Everyone seemed to be shocked, or perhaps they were analyzing the information revealed between the lines of this old man's words.

I used the medicine after I came back. He was so fast. Could it be that he walked a hundred meters to complete the task and then used the medicine on the spot?
Haven't returned to the safe zone yet?
After a little consideration, Ling Xiao opened the chat box.

He is not stingy with reminders of benefiting others without harming oneself, not to mention that it is not a loss for his compatriots to become "explorers" at the moment.

The nickname that originally exposed the real name was casually changed to "Xiao". There was no need to type it yourself. The content was presented quickly as if the "voice" of the thoughts were input. Only the final confirmation was required to send it.

Owl: "@I'm Thresh, you're Demacia, there are monsters in the fog. Even with a torch you'll be attacked! If you're still outside, be careful!"

Almost at the same time as Ling Xiao spoke, the next warrior who dared to stroke the tiger's beard also appeared.

[Jinghong: "@I'm Thresh, you're Demacia, did you unlock the gift and use the replenishing potion after completing the trial? Haven't you returned yet? There are dangers in the gray fog, I suggest you..."]

Ling Xiao hadn’t finished reading the rest of the message when the reply from the grumpy brother suddenly popped up.

I'm Thresh, you're Demacia: "Fuck! Shit! Let these bastards forget it!!"

There was no further news about the grumpy old man.

Just by reading the text, Ling Xiao could feel his excitement.

The others tagged [Xiao] and [Jinghong] several times but received no response, so they simply started questioning them.

I wrote several paragraphs of answers and then deleted them all.

Faced with numerous questions and doubts, Ling Xiao knew that the more he spoke, the more wrong he would be.

Everyone has the potential to be a nitpicker, especially in this situation. The dense crowd of @s wanted to drag him and [Jinghong] out for careful questioning, and then use their words to make indirect inquiries to come to a conclusion that would make them feel a little comforted.

Ling Xiao expressed his understanding of this, but he couldn't help feeling angry.

I don't have the courage to take risks.

But when questioning other people's yin and yang, not only are they eloquent, but they also speak a lot and with confidence!

Ignoring the frantically flashing golden light, Ling Xiao summarized his thoughts and sent them out: "The panel doesn't have a timer. The torch can sense the campfire, but it can only dispel fog about three meters away. There may be other dangers outside. If you want to explore, be careful!"

That's all for this.

He is not a savior, nor is he the nanny of this group of people.

There were also some smart people who used various means to "invite" Ling Xiao to rescue them, and made all kinds of promises and benefits through coercion and inducement.

Money transfer, seduction, playing the victim...

Domineering, flattering, crying...

In the past, Ling Xiao had never experienced the art of language that so many people racked their brains to create.

In order to prevent his faith from wavering, he simply pretended to be dead and ignored anyone who called him.

Anyway, during this period, several explorers also joined the topic, and the channel began to become lively with meaningful discussions. Even the grumpy old man who was in a bad situation was ignored, as he was not missing any more.

While diving and watching the show, I was thinking about the future.

As a college student, Ling Xiao must have played games.

He had been temporarily blinded by the strange scene, and the scolding from his foul-mouthed brother also served as a wake-up call for him.

We, the survivors, are definitely hostile to the monsters in the gray fog...

But, can people live in harmony with each other?

Different choices and actions will definitely lead to uneven levels of strength.

It's been less than half an hour, and the tens of thousands of people in the channel have already started to stratify. Whenever they meet in real life in the future, conflicts will definitely arise, and they will inevitably spread and affect the consciousness and atmosphere of the entire group.

The chain of suspicion has always existed.

Or perhaps it is hidden in everyone's blood, deeply rooted and extremely difficult to eliminate.

Including myself, don’t you have any little thoughts...

But... there is also an advantage...

Now he is equivalent to starting faster than many people. If he firmly grasps this advantage, even if the Heart of Taotie itself does not provide a direct bonus, as he accumulates derivative talents over time, he will definitely have a place in the top echelon!
In this new world full of infinite possibilities, the help brought by identity, status, wealth and even connections are all reduced to zero.

The person who could easily crush me in the past, now, can the roles be reversed...

The leaping fireworks are full of vigor and frenzy.

Both in front of Ling Xiao and in his eyes.

With his scorching gaze focused on the gray fog not far away, Ling Xiao stood up again.

The campfire's safe zone still has a few hours left. The map, watch, and other rare items are quite useful. My newly acquired [Night Travel] skill is in great condition. I haven't used the two free attributes granted by upgrades and potions yet. Having completed one "exploration," I'm considered experienced...

These are all positive factors, and they give me so much more confidence than before.

But the most crucial point is:

Ling Xiao, I'm ready!
　Dear friends, if you think it is okay, please give it a collection!

　　I beg you guys to please read this!

　　I'm testing the waters with 50,000 words. There are already few readers clicking in, so if you keep supporting me, I'll be really frustrated! !

　　I beg you to take care of the young seedlings. I have a lot of manuscripts in stock but they have to be put on the shelves before they can become popular. I beg you to read them and let me advance!
