I started on a rocking horse and relied on watching ads to dominate the highway survival charts.

The box's shape was so bizarre that Huo Yunzhi hesitated for a long time before daring not to open it, fearing that something terrible might come out of it.

"Let's start by opening the diamond resource boxes."

Huo Yunzhi took out a brick from her backpack.

Although you couldn't get any monsters from the treasure chests that the system rewarded you during the newbie protection period, now that the newbie protection period is over, who knows what will be inside?

The clothesline pole carefully lifted open the first treasure chest.

Nothing happened.

But when they opened the second treasure chest, just as the chest was slightly exposed, a huge black shadow rushed out.

Having prepared for the attack long ago, Huo Yunzhi wielded a brick, and the vengeful ghost fell to the ground, unable to rise again, and was slowly corroded by the safe zone.

"You absolutely cannot have even the slightest bit of wishful thinking."

After confirming that the vengeful ghost was dead, Huo Yunzhi reached for the two diamond resource boxes.

[Congratulations to the player for obtaining: 1 Lucky Bag, 1 Shop License, 5 Frozen Ready-to-Eat Seafood, 5 Drunken Crab in Shaoxing Wine, 5 Grain-Fed Beef Rolls, 5 Lamb Rolls, 5 Large Fish Roe Shrimp Paste, 2 Grouper, 2 Australian Red Lobsters, 5 Medkits, 20 Reinforced Alloys, 40 Vehicle Accessories, and 200 Survival Coins]

"Has the system robbed the aquarium?"

Huo Yunzhi picked up a grouper and discovered that it could actually increase her health.

She switched to carrying a lobster, which still increased her health.

"These are really good things!" Huo Yunzhi excitedly put them into the food storage compartment of her backpack.

All the meat that used to be in the crisper drawer was moved out and put into the refrigerator.

"Then what is this exquisite brocade pouch?"

After settling the seafood that would increase her health, Huo Yunzhi checked the other items.

[Shop Permit: With this certificate, you can register a shop in the trading area. After listing your products and selecting a transaction method, the shop will operate automatically and enjoy promotion and resource placement.]

【Luxury Pouch: Special item; increases the capacity of each inventory slot by up to 100 points upon use.】

Huo Yunzhi's current backpack can hold a maximum of 99 of the same type of items in each compartment. Exceeding this number will require a new compartment to be occupied.

Because of the shortage of backpacks, her carriage was also piled with a lot of messy and unsorted supplies.

The appearance of this exquisite pouch can completely solve her current problem.

Huo Yunzhi used the prop without hesitation.

The current maximum backpack slot capacity has been changed to 199.

Huo Yunzhi cleaned her carriage thoroughly overnight, then sat on the floor and began to study the shops.

She must have been busy doing something else. Several players have already registered shops in the trading area, such as Zhuanzhuan Secondhand Platform, Wangwang Grocery Store, and Mickey's Mischievous House.

Huo Yunzhi could even recognize one or two acquaintances' shops from these names.

Huo Yunzhi looked at everyone's abstract shop names, thought for a moment, and then entered her own shop name.

[Congratulations on creating the shop "Spring Defense Force Headquarters"! Currently, 10 items can be listed. Players on the blacklist cannot shop here. Please carefully check the items and blacklisted players before listing them.]

After packing up the supplies and using all the props, Huo Yunzhi turned her gaze back to the mahogany box on the ground.

Huo Yunzhi hesitated for a long time, then gritted her teeth and said, "Let's open it. The worst outcome is that we'll just unleash a bunch of vengeful ghosts. In the safe zone, I still have bricks in my hand. I don't believe they can cause any trouble."

Huo Yunzhi picked up the box, tore off the talisman, and then opened the mahogany box.

In an instant, a dazzling golden light burst forth from the box, flames shooting straight into the sky. The golden light was so intense that even the blood moon hanging in the sky seemed to be dimmed.

The next moment, a black and red intertwined glass lotus slowly rose from the box, rotating.

Because it was so close, Huo Yunzhi could feel that it was very hot, and the petals would occasionally emit a few wisps of red flame, burning the surrounding light so that it was slightly distorted.

[Congratulations to player "Crayon Shin-chan Eyes" for obtaining the unique item "Infernal Lotus".]

【Red Lotus of Karmic Fire: Origin unknown. Consuming karmic power releases a red lotus of karmic fire that can burn away impurities and purify evil. The more karmic power the holder acquires, the more powerful this item becomes.】

Huo Yunzhi was overjoyed after reading the description of the lotus flower.

This thing actually consumes karma to use!

"I was worried about how to resolve my karma issues, but I unexpectedly found this item! It's like finding a needle in a haystack!"

【Bind this item?】

"There's nothing to hesitate about."

Huo Yunzhi immediately pressed the "Yes" button.

Wait a minute!! Don't press it!!!

The system's scream echoed in Huo Yunzhi's mind as she pressed the button, followed by the message "Binding successful."

【Aa ...

The system emitted a sharp, popping sound.

Huo Yunzhi ignored it and began to study the Karmic Fire Red Lotus carefully.

It was already hovering in Huo Yunzhi's palm, but the high temperature of the flames did not burn him in the slightest.

Huo Yunzhi carried it to the outside of the vehicle, picked out a more pleasing ghost, and prepared to test its power.

She raised her hand, aiming it at the vengeful ghost in front of her, and silently chanted to activate the Karmic Fire Red Lotus.

"laugh--!"

The red lotus spun rapidly and suddenly spewed out a fire dragon.

Faced with the flames, the faceless demon didn't even have time to escape before being burned to ashes.

After completing the task, the Karmic Fire Red Lotus transformed into a streak of red light and rushed into Huo Yunzhi's brow.

"It's portable and doesn't take up any space, what a great weapon!" Huo Yunzhi touched her brow, expressing her satisfaction.

She already had guns to deal with malicious players, bricks to control vengeful spirits, and immortal guides to dispel them.

Now they also possess the Karmic Fire Red Lotus, which can consume karma to remotely burn vengeful ghosts.

Even if they can no longer dominate this survival game, they won't die so easily.

Having obtained such a powerful item, Huo Yunzhi was in an exceptionally good mood when she went to sleep that night.

Unfortunately, this good mood didn't last more than 24 hours.

On the first day after the newbie protection period ended, the system's noisy voice started at six o'clock.

Dear players, have you missed me?

[Bangbang gives you two punches]: I miss your dad! Are you trying to die from not sleeping this early in the morning?!

[Iron Wolf]: Ugh, again...

The user "Bangbang will give you two punches" has been banned from messaging for one hour.

Players on the world channel, seeing their "generals" banned again, were less annoyed at being woken up, and some even joked about Qin Yuanshan.

But this joyful atmosphere soon came to an abrupt end.

[Next, the system will announce the changes to the survival rules after the new player protection period ends.]
