Survival for All: I can deconstruct projections and synthesize everything.

Qi Bo: "Stop arguing, everyone! At least the ones you've encountered are carbon-based life forms, but what I've encountered is a hanged ghost?"

As soon as Qi Bo made his remarks, the regional chat channel fell into an eerie silence.

Liu Ruyan: "A ghost? Like Nie Xiaoqian?"

Qi Bo: "Sigh, if it were someone like Nie Xiaoqian, at least it would be bearable. But that thing... it's just a gruesome hanged ghost!!!"

Upon seeing Qi Bo's words, everyone in the entire chat channel felt a chill run down their spines.

But Qi Bo hadn't finished speaking.

Qi Bo: "Damn it, I was chopping down a tree when I looked up and saw a person floating on the tree. In the blink of an eye, it suddenly appeared in my face, which scared me so much that my heart stopped for a second."

Everyone shuddered at the thought of that scene.

Even Lin Xiao felt a chill run down his spine.

Qi Bo: "At least you carbon-based lifeforms have ways to deal with it, but I'm completely helpless against this thing..."

Qi Bo was in a state of extreme terror. The sudden appearance of the hanged ghost had really startled him. Living in a peaceful country, where had he ever seen such a thing before?

Lin Xiao looked at the messages in the regional chat channel and began to think. He had a feeling that there were some things in common among the people who were attacked.

Suddenly, his gaze fell upon a statement made by Qi Bo.

Qi Bo: "Damn it, I was chopping down trees right then..."

Then Lin Xiao scrolled up the chat channel and looked at Yuan Zhuo and Wei Xin's messages. Sure enough, their messages had some common points.

"Collecting timber..." Lin Xiao murmured.

Indeed, all three of them said that they were attacked by these monsters while they were collecting wood.

"There's still too little information..."

Then, Lin Xiao continued browsing the regional chat channel.

Sure enough, the statements of some other victims confirmed Lin Xiao's suspicions.

These attacks were varied. Some, like Qi Bo, were attacked by ghosts or monsters, such as water ghosts or burning ghosts. Others, like Lin Xiao, were attacked by giant insects.

What these victims had in common was that they were all gathering timber, specifically cutting down trees on the edge of the Misty Forest.

"We encountered a monster on the very first day? This is going to be tough!"

Lin Xiao frowned and murmured.

Even though it's extremely dangerous, Lin Xiao should still continue collecting wood, but he needs to make some preparations first.

As Lin Xiao pondered this, he turned his gaze to the Tetanus Blade in his backpack.

[Stamina: 80/100]

Lin Xiao glanced at her stamina, which had decreased slightly after the recent activity.

"But that shouldn't be a small amount, right?"

"Projection! Rusty cleaver (Tetanus Blade)"

[Stamina: 70/100]

Lin Xiao's stamina instantly decreased by ten points, and at the same time, a strange fatigue also took effect on Lin Xiao's body.

"synthesis!"

[Mental Strength: 70/100]

【Rusty Blade (Tetanus Blade) +1: Tier 1, When attacking an enemy, there is a 10% chance to inflict the Tetanus debuff】

[Tetanus: Reduces the opponent's health by 10 points every 2 seconds, duration is unlimited, can be canceled with medical items]

Lin Xiao's physical and mental strength have both dropped to seventy points, and he is experiencing various sensations such as weakness and dizziness.

Lin Xiao had no choice but to focus her attention on the bread and bottled water in her backpack.

[3 x 500ml mineral water, 9 x 100g bread.]

"Deconstruction!"

Lin Xiao placed his hands on the mineral water and bread, and within seconds the mineral water and bread were completely disassembled.

[Deconstruction successful]

[Item Name: 500ml mineral water.]

[Description: Ordinary mineral water in the misty world, but it can restore 5 points of mental energy at once.]

【Item Name: 100g Bread】

[Description: An ordinary loaf of bread from the misty world, but it can restore 2 points of stamina at once.]

Lin Xiao looked at the two messages that appeared in the structure, thought for a moment, and then placed his hand on the three 500ml bottles of mineral water.

"synthesis!"

[Mental Strength: 68/100]

The three 500ml bottles of mineral water were instantly enveloped in light.

After the light faded, the three small bottles of 500ml mineral water turned into one small bottle of 500ml mineral water.

【Item Name: 500ml Mineral Water + 2】

[Description: Created by a being named Lin Xiao through a talent, this being possesses a special effect: it can restore 15 points of mental energy at once.]

[Special Effect: After drinking, it restores 2 points of mental energy per minute for 10 minutes. (Amounts exceeding the limit can be retained.)]

[Note: Is there a bug?]

After seeing the description of the synthesized mineral water, Lin Xiao immediately picked it up and gulped it down.

In just a few seconds, Lin Xiao finished a 500ml bottle of mineral water.

After finishing the mineral water, Lin Xiao wiped her lips.

The mental energy that had just been used up was instantly restored by 15 points.

[Mental Strength: 83/100]

Furthermore, it is slowly recovering at a rate of 2 points per minute.

"Hey, now I don't have to worry about depleting my mental energy anymore!"

Now that his mental state has recovered, Lin Xiao needs physical strength.

Lin Xiao looked at the nine 100g loaves of bread that she had opened from the beginner's treasure chest.

"synthesis!"

[Mental Strength: 75/100]

【Item Name: 100g Bread +8】

[Description: Created by a being named Lin Xiao through a talent, it possesses a special effect: it can restore 18 points of stamina at once.]

[Special Effect: After consumption, restores 8 stamina points per minute for 10 minutes. (Amounts exceeding the limit can be retained.)]

[Note: ? ? ?]

"really!"

Lin Xiao was extremely excited. That's right, the 500ml of mineral water and 100g of bread that he had just eaten could be projected by Lin Xiao, and the effect was the same.

Whether it's 500ml of mineral water or 100g of bread, each projection only consumes 1 point of stamina.

This is a perpetual motion machine!

"Hehe, hahaha!"

Lin Xiao laughed excitedly, looking up at the sky. Now, he would never lack the most basic necessities.

Compared to the others, Lin Xiao had an incredibly lucky start.

He excitedly placed his right hand on the tetanus blade again.

"Projection... Begin!"
