There's a big problem with dreams in this world.

"Damn it, I'm going to beat him to death!" the thug said with a pained expression.

"What!?"

With the player looking on in surprise, the thug rejoined the fight.

Surrounded by a group of thugs, the player's stamina began to drop rapidly, and eventually one of the thugs found an opportunity and hit him on the head with a stick.

After experiencing a sharp pain in his head, the player was knocked to the ground by a group of thugs and then beaten to death.

Thus, the first player was eliminated.

Chapter 124: Life Aura

"Bah!"

Spitting to the side, the thug in the purple T-shirt kicked the corpse aside and gestured to his companion:

"Let's see if this bastard has anything valuable on him."

"okay."

Upon hearing his boss's words, one of the thugs nearby immediately squatted down and began searching the player's corpse.

"Reporting to the boss, besides this knife, there's nothing of value on him. This poor bastard doesn't even have any implants."

After searching for a while, the thug stood up with a strange expression, picked up the long knife from the dead player, and said...

"Damn, it looks so clean and tidy, how come it's so poor?"

Upon hearing his subordinate's words, the gang leader looked at the corpse on the ground with disbelief and asked, "Really?"

"Reporting to the boss, it's true."

After staring at the corpse on the ground for a couple of seconds and confirming that there was really nothing of value on the body, the thug could only curse his bad luck and leave.

"A poor wretch who can't even afford an implant deserves to be beaten to death," the gang leader said before leaving.

.......

Oh dear...

[Getting beaten to death by thugs, is that even acceptable?]

[They dare to participate in the event when they're so weak.]

【Poor bastard 23333.】

These equipment and items are practically worthless to NPCs.

In a sense, this player truly became famous overnight.

Does nobody care what an implant is?

The live stream had shifted from the perspective of the player who had just appeared, but the discussion about that player continued.

At this point, Lu Qing was no longer visible in the live stream; after all, she was simply on her way and there was nothing interesting to see.

Of course, the system is unaware of the female players' appeal to male viewers; the prettier they are, the stronger their appeal.

"The tire tracks are getting clearer," Lu Qing said, observing the tire tracks beside her with her eagle eyes.

The sweltering desert didn't make her feel too uncomfortable. Wearing the Ice Fairy Blessing Necklace, Lu Qing still felt quite refreshed walking through the desert.

Lu Qing took out the mithril dagger, skillfully made a small cut on her left index finger, and then summoned Vain.

“Follow these marks and tell me what you see.”

After summoning Wayne, Lu Qing immediately gave the order.

"Ugh, it's so hot here," Wayne said, taking in the air around him.

"Can't you use the knowledge in your head to cool yourself down?"

“I don’t waste my energy on such trivial matters!” Wayne retorted.

"Then you'll just have to bear with it," Lu Qing said, her tone becoming more forceful.

"Gah........"

Wayne stared at Lu Qing for a couple of seconds, then reluctantly flapped his wings and flew into the sky.

"They can command birds."

Muttering complaints, Wayne's figure gradually disappeared into the air.

After Wayne disappeared, Lu Qing continued walking along the tire tracks, subtly increasing her pace.

Although she doesn't feel the heat, the problem of food and water remains unresolved, and she needs to find a solution before she can't hold on any longer.

The best way, of course, is to catch up with the convoy in front.

The other side was a whole convoy, while Lu Qing was alone, which meant that she still had a certain probability of catching up with the convoy.

Since this convoy is arranged by the system, then a certain probability event will become 100%.

Although Lu Qing didn't know how long it would take her to catch up with the convoy ahead.

However, it seems this period will not be short, at least three or four days. Lu Qing is prepared to suffer for the next few days.

Pulling down her hood, Lu Qing walked quietly through the desert.

.........

Walking in the desert was easier than Lu Qing had imagined, because both the scorching sun during the day and the freezing temperature at night were blocked by the Ice Elf Necklace she wore, so Lu Qing did not experience the exhilarating sensation of being in both fire and ice.

The only unpleasant thing was the occasional strong wind.

Although it wasn't very large, it was enough to stir up yellow sand, making it more difficult for Lu Qing to walk.

Perhaps due to her physical condition, the consequences of not eating or drinking for several days were not as severe as Lu Qing had imagined. Although there were still some effects, they were not fatal.

Now, she has been walking in this desert for four days, and there are still six days left to reach the main goal of the first stage.

Lu Qing wasn't in a hurry because she felt she was almost catching up with the convoy ahead.

These days, she has spent most of her time traveling, only sleeping when she is extremely tired, and then continuing her journey after waking up.

She traveled day and night, which brought her closer and closer to the convoy.

The tire tracks became increasingly clear, and the number of tracks increased from one to many. In addition, Lu Qing also discovered traces left by human footsteps.

Sometimes, she would even come across piles of ashes left behind by the other person while they were resting and camping. It looked like the ashes left behind after something had been burned and left in the desert.

After walking for about ten more minutes, a black dot gradually appeared in the distant sky.

Without even looking, I knew it was Wayne. These past few days, Wayne had been flying ahead of Lu Qing, only returning at night.

This guy has been eating poisonous insects and the like lately, so he hasn't gone hungry.

Lu Qing, however, was afraid of getting sick from eating these things, so she didn't dare to eat them.

Although he wasn't starving, Vain wasn't in good condition either. According to him, those poisonous insects weren't tasty. If there wasn't nothing else in this desert besides those damned bugs, he wouldn't have been able to bring himself to eat them.

However, he doesn't feel guilty about eating it. After all, he used to eat this kind of thing often when he was just an ordinary crow. Now he's just going back to his old ways.

"Did you see the convoy ahead?" Lu Qing asked immediately after Wayne flew back.

“I see it. It’s a large-scale operation. Judging from the life force, there are about two thousand people,” Wayne said.

"What is life aura?" Lu Qing asked, frowning.

"Well, it's the aura emanating from life. The more powerful a life force is, the stronger its aura will be. Where there is a lot of life, there will be a lot of life auras," Wayne explained in general terms.

"How did you see this? Can I see it too?" Lu Qing asked curiously.

"Gah, when your strength reaches a certain level, you'll naturally be able to sense it. As for why I can see it, it's because I am great..."

Rolling her eyes, knowing she couldn't see it now, Lu Qing ignored what Wayne said next and quickened her pace to get ahead.

Um.......

that.........

Actually...

This book is about to be released!!!

Reader: Oh, I'm off now. Good luck, author!

Author: No! Big brother, don't go!

The reader looked down at the author who was clinging tightly to his leg, sneered, and said, "Give me a reason to stay."

Author: Me......

Reader: Hmph! Updates are so slow, and you still want to subscribe? Get lost!

author:........

Just kidding.

In short, as the title suggests, this book is now available.

This book already has 260,000 words, so it's only natural that it's being put on the shelves. Although the results are terrible, the author still needs to make a living. I won't say anything about playing the victim; it's pointless, and I'm sure you're all tired of it.

I have very little time to write, I don't have any drafts saved up, and my writing speed is very slow. It takes me more than an hour to write a single chapter, so I definitely can't do anything like updating in bulk.

To be honest, I was quite unlucky. Before I started writing, most of the books in the game category were pretty weak. I saw several books with very poor performance still get three recommendations in a row or even be featured in the category's "Top Recommendation of the Week".

Then, when I got to the trial stage, everyone at the same time was more capable than the last, and many big names had started new books.

Unsurprisingly, my ship sank.

Waaah, this is awful.

To be honest, my writing might be a bit bad, but isn't this result a bit too much? It's even worse than my previous two books.

Several authors I know have taken off, but I'm still a flop.

I felt extremely unbalanced, and my motivation to write plummeted. More than once, I had the urge to abandon this book and start a new one.

But that's just a thought. I'll keep writing because I've always wanted to write a transformation novel (or a female protagonist novel?).
