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

Sixth round, Yin Leyao.

Current location: 21st grid, "Safe Lightning Avoidance Zone"

At the end of the last round, Yin Leyao knew the result in advance when she rolled the tide dice.

The low tide period has arrived.

The seawater stabilized, and the surface of the sea became as smooth as a mirror.

The ice cubes no longer wobbled on top of it.

All grid table effects are fully applied.

This is the best time to gather supplies and advance the distance.

However, the calmest period is also when traps are most hidden. The positive effects remain unchanged, and if you make a mistake, the game becomes even more dangerous.

My energy has recovered to 1/3.

Yin Leyao thought for a moment, then pressed the button and remained still. The goal for this round was to move forward; she would save her energy for later.

Roll the moving die: 4.

No need to adjust the number of steps using supplies or markers.

Step 21 + 4 steps leads to step 25, "Tide Observation Station".

Settlement grid

The effect of the 25th grid (flat tide):

Tide Observatory

You can peek at the tidal phase marker for the next round and gain 1 Cleverness Mark.

Yin Leyao stood on the abandoned buoy tower, gazing at the horizon.

The textures of the clouds and the rhythm of the waves formed patterns in her mind.

Next tidal phase: High tide.

She memorized this information.

The other three had no idea what she was doing.

In addition, a +1 to the Witty Mark.

This is her sharpest weapon at this moment.

Location: 25th grid

Backpack Underworld Judgment

Current backpack: Seawater (pseudo-freshwater), flare gun (unverified), waterproof flashlight (unverified).

Total resources = 3, no linkage triggered.

The tool category remains at 2, while the metallic resonance continues to lurk.

It's safe for now.

Event determination.

The 25th slot has no "?", so it will not trigger.

---

Chen Haisheng (10th frame)

Move the die: 5.

Reach the 15th slot, "Drifting Supply Box" (Tide effect: Directly draw 1 supply card without halving).

Chen Haisheng drew a card: "First Aid Kit".

He grinned; finally, he had something good to offer.

Backpack supplies changed to 2: Unverified fresh water + first aid kit.

He glanced in Yin Leyao's direction.

Distance: 10 squares.

He called out, "Yin Leyao, I have some medicine here. Do you want to exchange your flare gun?"

Yin Leyao did not turn around.

Her flashlight hasn't been tested yet.

The flare gun is even more of an unknown quantity. The other party doesn't have a flare gun in their backpack, so they desperately need their own. But how would they know that they have a flare gun?

Yin Leyao glanced at him again. Was the NPC really that proactive?

But she remembered: Chen Haisheng had a first-aid kit. Something that could save a life at sea.

---

Zhao Tiesha (5th frame)

Move the die: 6.

Reach the 11th square, "Safe Island" (Tidal effect: Restores 1 life).

But his life was already full, with no gain.

Zhao Tiesha cursed and sat on the ground, chewing on the air.

He was hungry.

There was only one "expanded can" in his backpack. He stared at it and licked his lips.

After hesitating, he didn't open it.

It's not about being cautious; it's that we haven't reached our limit yet.

A person who is extremely hungry will eat anything in the next round.

Yin Leyao saw this scene from a distance.

She knew that the countdown had already taken root in his stomach.

---

Lin Xiaotang (Segment 19, "SOS Signal Station")

Awaiting rescue, unable to move.

Rounds remaining: 3.

She waved to Yin Leyao, her expression calmer than before.

Her backpack was empty, but her fighting spirit remained undiminished throughout the ordeal.

As long as she doesn't move, isn't affected by the curse reversal, and doesn't trigger any events during the waiting period—she can live.

But Yin Leyao knew that the high tide was approaching.

What effect does the 19th square have during high tide? She silently recalled.

The "Distress Signal Tower" has taken a dramatic turn: the signal tower has been struck by lightning, and the person waiting must consume 1 item as a lightning rod, or they will lose 2 lives.

Lin Xiaotang's backpack was empty.

She had no supplies available.

During the next high tide, she will face a direct lightning strike.

---

In the seventh round, the dice were moved back to Yin Leyao's hands.

It's time for the tides to change.

Chen Haisheng (last place) rolls the tide dice.

Yin Leyao remained calm upon seeing the expected high tide.

The seawater surged, and the waves climbed onto the reefs.

The chessboard flips over again.

All the surface effects of the grid sink underwater, while the inner effects float to the surface.

Supply turned into deprivation.

Safety turns into danger.

Energy restored to 1/3. Current energy: 1/3.

Yin Leyao is standing in the 25th square, the "Tide Observation Station".

What is the effect of this section during high tide?

"Tidal backlash"

Effect: You learn the tidal phase of the next round, but the information is a reverse jinx—you must tell the whole field the true phase, or you will lose 2 sanity.

Yin Leyao remained expressionless.

She can afford to pay this price.

I'm just telling the truth.

But she also knew that revealing the tide information was tantamount to giving everyone a heads-up.

How she says it is her freedom.

Timing, wording, and tone can all be used as weapons.

Yin Leyao was the first to glance at the messages in the management group.

While she was busy playing the game, the group message count had already reached 99+.

Mackerel: "Through this simulation, I also found some bugs that weren't good enough. I believe the game effects will be even more amazing when it's officially released."

"For example, disrupting the order of tide changes leaves players who try to predict the tides with nowhere to go."

Turbot: "You beast!"

Jellyfish: "The reverse poison milk chosen by 13645 is quite sinister. I feel uneasy if I don't tell anyone, but no one believes me if I do."

Little Yellow Croaker: "Otherwise, why would it be called 'reverse poison milk'?"

Yin Leyao agreed, and thus announced: "Next round, the tide will recede."

The voice was steady and emotionless.

The three reacted differently.

Lin Xiaotang nodded, completely convinced.

Chen Haisheng was skeptical.

Zhao Tiesha scoffed, "You think the tide goes out just because you say so? Do you think you're the god of the sea?"

They didn't know that what she said was true.

But in this game, the truth can also be a trap—when you tell others, they will act according to their own interests, and your predictions are one step ahead of theirs.

Yin Leyao didn't interfere.

Move the die: 6.

She did not make any adjustments.

25th square + 6 steps = 31st square "Seaweed".

Settlement grid

The 31st slot, during low tide, originally grants 1 unit of food (seaweed, non-toxic).

However, we are currently in a high-tide period, triggering a reversal:

"Entanglement Trap"

Effect: Seaweed gets tangled around your ankles. You lose 1 material or rope item, or skip the next turn to move.

Yin Leyao had no materials or rope in her backpack—the rope had been swept away by the waves in the reef area long ago.

She was trapped.

Skip to the next turn.

She stood amidst seaweed, the seawater reaching above her knees.

We can't move forward, but that doesn't mean we can't do anything else.

Acting cautiously, checking supplies, and observing others—these don't require moving.

Instead, she had a whole period of time to unravel the unverified secrets in her hands.

Position: 31st square (cannot be moved next turn)

Backpack is a judgment from the underworld.

The supplies remain at 3 items.

No change.

It's safe for now.

Event Determination —

The 31th slot has no "?", so it will not trigger.

Yin Leyao soon noticed that the sky in the distance flashed.

It wasn't lightning.

It's a signal flare.
