Join the management group, I've stockpiled millions of supplies for survival at sea.

However, there are supplementary rules for the game at this point.

1. Tide Alternation: The last player to move rolls the tide die, moving one space on the board during their turn (this may affect the sign of all spaces).

2. Act with Caution (Optional): Consumes 1 stamina to perform Observation/Inspection/Reinforcement (see below).

3. Move: Roll the move dice to actively choose ±1 move (but to adjust, you must consume 1 unit of food or fresh water).

4. Settlement grid: Execute the effect corresponding to the current grid, note the tide reversal symbol.

5. Backpack Underworld Check: Check your inventory combination and trigger related rules (see below).

6. Event Judgment: If the player lands on a square marked with a "?", draw an event card and resolve the event.

Every square on the board has two effects, determined by the current tidal phase.

During low tide: Execute the "table effect" in the upper left corner of the grid (mostly positive: gain fresh water, move forward, etc.).

High tide: All effects are reversed, and the "inner effect" in the lower right corner is applied (gain becomes loss, forward becomes backward, calm becomes vortex).

Low tide: Executes the table effect, but all values ​​are halved (rounded down).

Yin Leyao looked down at the grid at her feet, and there were indeed corresponding symbols in the upper left and upper right corners.

The top card in the deck is labeled "Canned Luncheon Meat".

During the ebb tide, income is not mandatory; players can choose to do so. Yin Leyao cautiously used 1 point of energy to check.

The back of the card clearly states this.

[It has swelled up and is lethal. Consuming it will result in the loss of 3 health points.]

Yin Leyao put the cards back in their original place without changing her expression, choosing not to accept them.

This can of food will naturally end up in the hands of the next unlucky person.

Remaining energy: 1/3

Location: 5th grid

Backpack Underworld Judgment —

Current backpack contents: Fresh water (unverified, actually seawater), compressed biscuits (unverified), rope (unverified), flare gun (unverified)

No synergy triggered (food + water = 2, less than 5; only rope among tools, no metal resonance triggered).

It's safe for now.

Incident determination!

The 5th cell has no question mark, so no event is triggered.

Yin Leyao is temporarily safe, even after using two points of her energy. She only has one point of energy left, and even if she can recover it, she will be less certain about the danger she is in.

This is just a simulation. In a real game, there's no time to check the cards for the real danger; everyone would probably be wiped out.

Other players.

Zhao Tiesha moves from the 3rd square to the 7th square.

Stepping into the "flock of seagulls," one is forced to discard a portion of food.

He tossed out a bag of biscuits while cursing, and Yin Leyao saw from afar that the back of the card had faint mold spots, so it was probably rotten to begin with.

He didn't realize that what he had thrown away was actually poison, and he was still feeling sorry for it.

Chen Haisheng moves from the 4th square to the 8th square.

They landed in the "Drifting Supply Box" and drew the expansion can that Yin Leyao had just pushed back.

He laughed heartily as he packed the bag into his backpack, boasting to everyone, "I'm so lucky!"

Yin Leyao did not speak.

Lin Xiaotang moves from the 5th square to the 9th square.

As she brushed past Yin Leyao, she whispered, "Sister Yao, I only have half a bottle of water and a pack of biscuits... What should I do?"

Yin Leyao glanced at her: "Don't rush to eat or drink."

Lin Xiaotang nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

Even though it was just a game simulation and they weren't real players, she still didn't hesitate to say a few more words.

[Round 2 - Yin Leyao]

Tides change.

Yin Leyao rolled the tide dice, and the pointer moved forward—

The "high tide period" has begun!

Reverse all grid effects, and change the surface effect to the inner effect.

Other players don't seem to understand the pattern of the tides changing.

Yin Leyao immediately recalculated in her mind that if she stepped into the supply slot in the next round, she would not gain, but lose.

Stepping onto a dangerous square might actually make you safe. The entire chessboard flipped over.

Consume the last 1 stamina to execute "Observe the Tide" and peek at the tide phase marker for the next turn.

The next period is the "low tide period".

She recorded this information privately, without the knowledge of the other three.

Remaining Energy: 0/3 (1 point will be restored at the start of the next round)

Start rolling the moving dice again.

The result of the moved dice is 3.

She is currently in the 5th square, and will reach the 8th square in 3 steps.

The 8th slot, which was originally a "safe haven/rest" during low tide, now has its effect reversed during high tide, becoming:

"Reef Area"

Effect: Randomly discard 1 item.

Settlement grid.

The dice are rolled, randomly assigning a location in the backpack.

Result: The third "rope" was swept away by the wave.

Fortunately.

It's not water or food.

Yin Leyao panicked for a moment, but quickly regained her composure.

Backpack is a judgment from the underworld.

After losing the rope, only 3 items remained in the backpack, and no interaction was triggered.

However, Yin Leyao noticed that food + water = 2, which is close to the trigger line of "Desperate Fighting Spirit" (when the total resources are ≤2, one can be immune to the next curse reversal).

This might be a backup plan.

Event determination.

The 8th slot has no "?", so it will not trigger.

Round Two: NPC Operations.

Chen Haisheng moves from the 8th square to the 10th square.

Before he moved, Yin Leyao inadvertently noticed that his backpack was full—six items of supplies.

He rolled the dice and moved 4 spaces, landing on the 12th space, "Pirate Watchtower".

Trigger the event card and flip it over:

"Armed robbery"

If you have 5 or more items in your backpack, the pirates will rob you of everything and move you back 10 spaces.

Chen Haisheng's expression changed drastically.

His six items, along with the expanded can, were all stolen.

The person moves back to the second position.

Yin Leyao calculated in her heart: He was carrying a can of poison; if he actually ate it, he would die.

Being robbed might be another form of survival.

But Chen Haisheng didn't think so.

He remained silent, his eyes darkening.

Yin Leyao narrowed her eyes slightly. Although it was just a tool in the game, the AI's simulation of real emotions was really impressive.

Zhao Tiesha moves from the 7th square to the 11th square.

Upon entering the "signal tower," he attempted to call for help using his own signal device.

Judgment: Drawing the Illusion card means a pirate has arrived.

He was forced to hand over all his fresh water and move back 15 squares.

Zhao Tiesha flew into a rage and slammed his fist on the ice.

But to no avail.

In just the first two rounds, both powerful NPCs suffered heavy losses.

Yin Leyao looked at Lin Xiaotang.

Lin Xiaotang moves from the 9th square to the 13th square.

She had only half a bottle of water and a pack of biscuits left, which triggered "Desperate Measures": Resources ≤ 2, immunity to curse reversal, movement +1.

She thus moved one more square, avoiding a dangerous square ahead.

Yin Leyao nodded to herself—this girl's poverty had actually saved her life.

[Round 3 - Yin Leyao]

Tides change.

The tidal phase transitioned into the "slack tide period" that Yin Leyao had foreseen.

All grid cells are restored to their positive state.

She already knew in advance, while the other three were still judging the situation with a rising tide mentality.

Information asymmetry equals survival rate.

Energy has recovered to 1/3, so I will not use it for now.

Move the die: 6.

Step 8 + 6, reach the 14th "Floating Treasure Chest" (Tidal Effect: Roll the lucky dice, odd number to get supplies, even number to encounter a trap).

Settlement grid.

She carefully expended 1 point of stamina to perform an "inspection" on the "Floating Treasure Chest"—
