Survival in an apartment, starting with a stroke of luck on a plane

The sunny young man watched the Blade Warrior leave, then looked at Lin Yu, his eyes filled with shock and a hint of fear.

He took a deep breath, clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Brother Universe, it seems you are the strongest player in this game."

Lin Yu glanced at him but did not respond. In fact, besides himself, the biggest beneficiary of this inexplicable battle with Blade Warrior was probably the sunny young man.

After all, the mutual aid society is pretty much gone now, and those players who don't want to fight alone will naturally choose to join other stronger organizations.

The organization under the leadership of Sunshine Youth is the most suitable target.

To be honest, Lin Yu himself didn't really want to have too much contact with the sunny young man, after all, this person was too upright, so upright that he had a bit of an evil side.

However, Lin Yu was also afraid that his feelings or judgment might be wrong, and he didn't want to become too distant, so he chose to use a shadow clone to contact him.

"You flatter me. There are many hidden masters in the game. The players haven't all gathered yet, so there might be some hidden experts among them."

Lin Yu casually replied, "The Demon Sword is sheathed."

"Brother Sunshine, I won't stay any longer. Daytime is precious; I still need to look for clues."

After saying that, Lin Yu turned and left.

The sunny young man watched Lin Yu's retreating figure from behind, his eyes slightly narrowed, lost in thought.

……

Having escaped the tedious entanglement, Lin Yu quickly found the shadow clone by following his senses.

The other party is searching for clues in the ruins of a bookstore.

After finding him, the two did not delay and immediately set off towards the vast woodland known as the "Sunset Forest" on the west side of the town.

As you approach the forest, the town's dilapidated state is replaced by lush greenery.

At the edge of the forest, sunlight can still penetrate the tall tree canopy, casting dappled shadows on the ground.

The air was filled with the fresh scent of grass and trees and the fragrance of damp earth, and occasionally a few clear birdsongs could be heard, which contrasted sharply with the deathly silence of the town and invigorated the spirit.

"This place looks quite vibrant," the shadow clone remarked.

"Don't be careless. The hunter's diary mentioned that there are wild beasts in the forest," Lin Yu reminded him.

They ventured deeper along a path that was almost completely submerged in weeds and bushes.

The scenery inside the forest quickly became primitive and secluded.

Towering ancient trees rise from the ground, their canopies blocking out the sun, dimming the light and making it seem as if dusk has arrived early.

Huge tree roots sprawled on the ground, slippery moss covered the rocks and trunks, and drooping vines resembled tendrils. The air was damp and chilly, and every breath carried the heavy scent of decaying wood and humus.

"Let Blade & Soul search. This forest is too big. If it's just the two of us, we probably won't find it even if we search for a whole day, let alone until the end of the game."

Looking at the forest completely covered by greenery, the shadow clone spoke helplessly.

"The biggest problem now is that we have no idea what the old place the hunter mentioned is. If he buried something underground, then no matter how we search, it will be useless."

Lin Yu was also somewhat helpless, mainly because there were no more clues.

"I guess it must be a place like a hunter's cabin. After all, according to the contents of that diary, the old hunter seemed to often spend the night in the forest, and there were also descriptions of cooking, sleeping, and so on. Therefore, there must have been a sanctuary he built in the forest."

The shadow clone analyzed thoughtfully.

"That makes sense." Lin Yu thought about it and felt that what the shadow clone said made sense. So he took out the Demon Sword, summoned Liu Xiangxiang and Liu Yue'er, and let them fly into the air to overlook the entire forest and see if they could see anything special.

Meanwhile, the two of them were slowly searching below.

……

Ten minutes later.

"My benefactor, there seems to be a hunter's hut ahead that you mentioned."

Liu Xiangxiang returned to Lin Yu's side with her daughter and spoke in response.

"lead the way."

Lin Yu's eyes lit up, and he quickly spoke up.

Afterwards, Liu Xiangxiang and Liu Yue'er returned to the Demon Sword and gave Lin Yu directions orally (to save durability).

Following Liu Xiangxiang's guidance, Lin Yu and his shadow clone trekked for nearly two hours and finally arrived at the foot of a steep, moss-covered mountain wall. Spring water was gushing out from the cracks in the rocks, gathering into a small pool, and then overflowing to form a stream.

Beside the pool, nestled against the mountainside, stands a small house built of large logs and stones, quietly standing there.

Lin Yu and his shadow clone exchanged a glance, then slowly stepped forward to examine the situation.

The cottage looked more weathered than I had imagined.

The log walls, blackened and cracked by years of wind and rain, are covered with dark green moss and dark green ivy, almost blending into the mountainside behind them.

The simple triangular roof had mostly collapsed, and the walls were covered with thick moss and withered pine needles.

The only wooden door had long since disappeared, leaving only a dark, gaping doorframe. The window was reduced to a few irregular holes.

A strong smell of mildew, rotten wood, and earthy odor wafted towards me.

"This little house doesn't look safe," the shadow clone said, stroking his chin as he looked at the house.

"Indeed, so I'll have to trouble you to go in and take a look," Lin Yu chuckled and said.

The existence of shadow clones is indeed very convenient. When encountering any dangerous place, they can be sent to scout ahead, and if a situation arises, the user can also obtain the relevant memories.

"Tsk."

The shadow clone clicked its tongue and walked helplessly into the hut.

What else could he say?

The shadow clone arrived at the door first, turning sideways to look inside.

The room was very dark, and you could barely make out the outlines of some overturned furniture: a table with a missing leg, a broken chair, and what appeared to be a collapsed wooden frame in the corner.

The ground was covered with a thick layer of dust and rotting leaves.

Only after confirming that there were no signs of living creatures or traps did the shadow clone step into the house.

Beneath our feet was a soft, ankle-deep layer of humus, and we sank in with every step.

A few rays of light shone through the hole in the roof, illuminating the swirling dust.

The shadow clone took out a flashlight and illuminated the darker areas.

After a while, he walked out of the house and came to Lin Yu's side.

"how?"

Lin Yu asked.

"It was indeed a hunter's hut, with many animal bones and processed leather scraps inside, but I didn't find any place to hide anything."

The shadow clone spoke.

"That's easy. Leave finding things to the professionals."

Lin Yu took out the Demon Sword again.

Compared to humans, ghosts are the real experts at finding things, since their bodies can pass through all kinds of objects at will, making it easy for them to find anything wrong.
