Chapter 37
◎ What sister ◎
【DazedFish】: That teleportation item of yours… do you still have any?
When he saw this sentence, [SurfingTheSea] had just finished chatting with another person. His eyes were still smiling, but the moment the message popped up, he froze.
No one saw this scene, so he just stared at the sentence slowly and quietly. After a few seconds, his face returned to expressionless.
【SurfingTheSea】: If Boss Dazed wants it, there’s definitely enough~
The other side quickly replied, just as he had expected. She was not the type to be able to hold her temper.
【DazedFish】: You son of a bitch, you want to kill me? Are you brainless to kill the only healer in the server?
[SurfingTheSea] found this sentence a little funny, so he curved his eyes and replied seriously—
【I’m sorry, Boss Dazed. It won’t happen again ^O^】
However, he did not get forgiveness. Of course, no one would take such a light apology seriously. The other side replied with a “go to hell,” which seemed very irritable.
[SurfingTheSea] sighed, thinking, I really didn’t mean it.
But if someone blocked your way forward, you could only kill them, right?
Someone would understand him, right?
…
Yu Chi couldn’t understand. Looking at this particularly sick apology, she wished she could rush over and smash the other party’s head.
[SurfingTheSea] was probably a little crazy.
Yu Chi admitted that she was relatively naive and might subconsciously think of people in a good way, but she had already tried to be careful.
She hadn’t expected the biggest villain to be someone close to her!
Although her bond with this person, [SurfingTheSea], was not particularly deep, he was the first person she had met in this game.
Of course, being the first person didn’t mean anything, just like how the other party had inexplicably sent someone to kill her.
Yu Chi ground her teeth and directly classified [SurfingTheSea] as an enemy, and then permanently blacklisted him!
They had had many conversations before. Besides the simple transactions, the other party would give her some harmless little gifts. Knowing that she was not good at responding, he would thoughtfully replace them with some small discounts, such as giving one free for every hundred bandages bought.
Occasionally, he would also come to chat with her. [ZhangSanAskedMeOut] and [SurfingTheSea] always liked to share various sea gossips with her. The two of them seemed enthusiastic and cheerful.
She had chosen [GrumpyBro] to go to Cold Moon Island with her before, just because he was ranked second on the ranking. But compared to the low-EQ [GrumpyBro] who always annoyed her, she would have preferred the seemingly happy-go-lucky [SurfingTheSea] for this kind of thing.
But fate was always strange. In just two days, she and [GrumpyBro] had barely become life-and-death friends, while she and [SurfingTheSea] had inexplicably become mortal enemies.
Yu Chi: Heh.
She worked hard and ate all two grains of rice and a whole piece of Frostfeather Bird meat. Yu Chi, who felt betrayed, decided to lock her heart and love, and from now on, be a cold and indifferent DazedFish.
…Well, actually, she was just being stupid.
Before the other party admitted it, Yu Chi still held a glimmer of hope, thinking that SurfingTheSea might not have known and had just accidentally provided the teleportation item that killed her.
As for stirring up trouble in the channel and causing turmoil… forget it, let’s just say he was temporarily out of his mind.
But the other party had easily admitted it, and had not even intended to hide it in the past. It was just that she had never thought of him.
Okay, the number one on the ranking is really wronged.
Yu Chi cursed in her heart for a while, then quickly forced herself to shift her attention.
Compared to sadness, her heart was more filled with absurdity and incomprehension, but no matter what, they were just online friends at most.
Yu Chi still had a lot to do today. First were the three fishing chances of the All-Purpose Fishing Rod, then Lucky Match-3, and then the Turntable Spin and four level five resource chests.
Although it seemed like a lot of things, when she thought about it carefully, they were all enjoyable things, and she couldn’t help but look forward to them.
She first took out Lucky Match-3. It had now transitioned to the Spirit Plant Chapter, and the difficulty had also increased a lot.
Yu Chi played a round seriously, but only got two stars.
“…”
The sky is falling. She stared at the settlement interface in disbelief. Damn it, if I had chosen to eliminate the other one just now…
I was still too careless.
Yu Chi resigned herself to accepting the first two-star ending. After opening the box, she found two plain red fruits lying inside.
【Item: Spicy Fruit
Grade: Common
Description: As the name suggests, it can usually be used as a seasoning. It is said to be extremely popular among all ethnic groups.】
She was not surprised by the effect of this spicy fruit, but what made her vigilant was the four words “all ethnic groups.”
Help… how many ethnic groups are there in this world? It feels like it’s being patched up.
However, thinking of her [Morph] ability, Yu Chi felt better—forget it, after all, I occupy four races myself (bushi).
She removed the core of the spicy fruit and planted it in the [Two-Sided Mirror] space. She also said hello to the flower fairy who was taking care of the plants.
So small and so cute! Yu Chi savored the memory and clicked on the Turntable Spin.
This lottery chance was rare, and it was something she had saved up when she was number one on the wealth ranking.
A turntable similar to the system screen popped up before her eyes. It was also ten slots, from first-grade to tenth-grade prizes. After clicking the button in the middle, the pointer on the turntable would start spinning. Clicking it a second time would cause the pointer to slowly stop.
Yu Chi was a little nervous. She had opened a lot of boxes, but this was only her second time in a lottery.
“Praise be to the God of the Sea,” Yu Chi remembered this God of the Sea that she had forgotten somewhere, and felt a little guilty.
It’s okay, it’s okay. How could such a generous god mind such a small thing from her?
The pointer on the turntable began to spin wildly. Yu Chi’s eyesight was much better now, but it was still difficult to grasp the exact position of the pointer.
She couldn’t cheat with her eyes, so she had to reach out and press pause. Ten seconds later, the pointer slowly swayed to… the position of the [Tenth-Grade] prize!
Yu Chi: “!!!”
Oh my god, I’m going to be rich!
A tenth-grade prize was definitely a Legendary grade item. She now had two Legendary grade items, one was the [Two-Sided Mirror] and the other was [Smoke], both of which were very useful.
She didn’t know what this item was…
【Item: Rubik’s Cube
Grade: Legendary
Description: Randomly generates various effects—healing, attack, defense, teleportation, control, and endurance.】
The Rubik’s Cube had 6 faces, and each face could represent an effect.
Yu Chi held the Rubik’s Cube in her hand to check. This Rubik’s Cube was similar to an ordinary Rubik’s Cube, but it was completely scrambled. Whichever face was solved would have that effect.
After each face was successfully solved, it would be automatically scrambled. The effect generated was equivalent to the strongest effect of the user’s current level.
This item was very good and completely made up for her shortcomings in some aspects. However, the key was… Yu Chi didn’t know how to solve a Rubik’s Cube.
Of course, of course, solving one face of a Rubik’s Cube was not as difficult as solving all six faces. Many people could do it easily. But when this Rubik’s Cube became her item, Yu Chi’s pursuit could not be simply to do it.
Just imagine, the enemy’s attack was already at her head, and she was still trying to solve the Rubik’s Cube.
“Wait for me. I’ll fight you after I’ve solved it!”
The other party: “? Are you sick?”
Then, with a “pia,” he would kill her.
So desperate…
Fortunately, this limitation was very small compared to the effect of this item.
Yu Chi happily held her nine-order Rubik’s Cube. The most powerful thing about this Rubik’s Cube was: if you could continuously solve 12 attack faces within 1 minute, then you could attack 12 times in a row, completely unrestrained.
She put the item in her backpack and directly posted a thread on the player forum.
【Is there any player who can solve a Rubik’s Cube? I’m bored. The price is negotiable.】
A post with the great name of [DazedFish] had an extraordinary effect. Basically, just two or three minutes after she posted it, the number of floors had already stacked up to seventy or eighty.
Yu Chi didn’t care that everyone was talking about other things. The hotter this post was, the better, so that players who could solve a Rubik’s Cube would private message her.
As for what everyone would guess… it wasn’t important. Even if someone guessed the specific effect of her item, it wasn’t a big deal. She would use the Rubik’s Cube, but she wouldn’t completely rely on it.
However, she was still being paranoid. In fact, there were people who guessed the item, but more people thought she was really bored.
Yu Chi had something to do all day. At worst, she could fish to pass the time. But other people, besides hiding in their cabins or going out to kill contaminated creatures, their only fun was actually scrolling through the forum and chat channel.
【A Rubik’s Cube is good, a Rubik’s Cube is wonderful. Who can make one for me?】
【A mobile phone, can anyone research a mobile phone?】
【Or a Lego puzzle would be fine too. Damn! Why doesn’t this game have any entertainment? Aren’t they afraid of driving us crazy?】
Entertainment was very important. Mental breakdown was far more serious than physical injury. When Yu Chi saw that a wave of toy-making had been triggered, she was actually quite looking forward to it.
If someone could really make this kind of small toy to pass the time, they might be able to get rich from it.
Yu Chi suddenly thought of her Fine Forging skill. She didn’t know much about the structure of a Rubik’s Cube, so it was difficult to make one directly with mental meditation. But if someone who knew about Rubik’s Cubes…
The players were slowly improving in this world. There were those who wielded swords and guns, those who specialized in defense and agility, and there were also healers, refiners, and so on. She sometimes felt that this world was like a cultivation system, but looking at her own skills, she felt that it was more like a Western fantasy magic system.
For some reason, thinking of this, Yu Chi suddenly felt unprecedentedly relaxed.
Perhaps, it was the feeling of watching a barren world slowly grow flowers?
…I’m so artistic. Yu Chi got goosebumps.
She put the Rubik’s Cube in her backpack for now and then neatly placed the 4 level five resource chests she had been rewarded with on the table.
When there were more level five resource chests, it was difficult to get good things from every single one. Yu Chi was not too expectant. After all, the Turntable Spin just now had already surprised her a lot.
Suddenly, the small boat shook violently. She frowned and looked out. A few contaminated creatures had already surrounded her small boat and were constantly attacking it, but those attacks were temporarily blocked by the protective shield on the boat.
The level of these contaminants had not changed, but their strength had indeed become much stronger.
Yu Chi sat in place without moving. The Treant Guardian from the [Two-Sided Mirror] space instantly appeared before her.
“Please,” Yu Chi’s eyes curved. “I’ll give you something good when you come back.”
She had always remembered the reminder when the [Treant Guardian] was summoned—please treat every guardian seriously.
Drifting alone on the sea, these guardians were her best partners—partners who were forever loyal and would never betray her.
The [Treant Guardian] nodded in a muffled voice and immediately opened the cabin door and walked out.
Yu Chi didn’t care about the changes outside and opened the first level five resource chest.
【Item: Green Bamboo Incense
Grade: Excellent
Description: You know, getting a good night’s sleep in this world is a luxury. Each stick can burn for two hours. (20 sticks)】
Yu Chi, who slept well every day: “…”
The item was good, but she didn’t need it.
But there must be many people who couldn’t sleep. Yu Chi put it in her space, thinking that she might be able to do some favors in the future.
She stuffed a few Ice Crystal Grapes into her mouth and continued to open the next level five resource chest.
【Item: Basic Saber Technique
Grade: Ungraded
Description: Introduction to saber technique.】
【Item: Elementary Saber Technique
Grade: Common
Description: Elementary saber technique.】
…
Yu Chi stared at the four books in the level five resource chest, feeling as if she had been hit by a huge surprise.
What did she lack the most now? Weapons? Armor?
No, what she lacked the most now was the improvement of her own strength!
Yu Chi was now level 10. Her Strength and Agility were not bad, but he had no strategy in fighting, so these attributes could not be fully utilized.
It was like using a Silver Moon Scimitar as a kitchen knife.
And these four books covered the introduction, elementary, intermediate, and advanced levels of saber technique, which were the most useful for Yu Chi.
She was already fantasizing about the scene where, the next time she met Li Feng and Zuo He, her superb saber technique would leave the two of them dumbfounded—
“Hah! Take this!” Yu Chi shouted. The saber… swoosh, swoosh… (please imagine it yourself)
Li Feng knelt on the ground, his voice trembling: “You… you… in just a few days, how did you become so strong? So handsome?!”
Zuo He’s mouth fell open, his eyes full of admiration: “Top player! Please teach me!”
Yu Chi put her hands on her hips and laughed wildly at the sky.
…
Yu Chi tried her best to come back to her senses from her fantasy and suppressed the corners of her mouth that were crazily turning up.
Tsk, I have to be more low-key in the future.
She flipped through the few saber technique books, her face resolute—for a better life, she decided to start from tomorrow, wake up at 5 in the morning every day to practice saber technique!
A life-skill player can’t be really weak, right? Otherwise, how can it be so awesome?
There were still two boxes left. Yu Chi stretched, feeling that her luck today was really good.
【Item: Magic Biscuit
Grade: Excellent
Description: A total of 10 pieces. Each one can fill you up for a day.】
【Item: Chat Logbook
Grade: Rare
Description: Will randomly select a lucky person from the vast sea of people to complete this chat log with you. Each person can only send ten sentences, and each sentence cannot exceed thirty words.】
Yu Chi raised an eyebrow. The second item was somewhat similar to the space-time call, but that one would automatically find the most suitable person, while this one was completely random.
Why do they always give me this kind of item that doesn’t do much to improve my strength? Yu Chi complained in her heart, but she was actually quite interested.
It was good to get this. If she got a bunch of items with the same function, that would be boring.
【A lucky person has been found for you.】
Yu Chi’s eyes lit up.
【Fish: Hello, can you see this? I’m Fish, a happy fish~】
She casually wrote something in the notebook. She didn’t continue to use the nickname [DazedFish]. She always felt that this name already had a top player aura, a bit of an idol burden.
Soon, a line of reply appeared in the notebook.
【Eagle: Hello, little cutie. I’m Eagle, currently a very boring eagle~】
Yu Chi stared at this message, her face showing a pained expression.
Damn it, I started it myself, so I can’t blame others.
But it was a rare opportunity to chat with people from other servers. Yu Chi was very enthusiastic.
【Fish: Ahem, I’m a player from District 1. Which district are you from? Do you want to exchange information?】
【Eagle: Sure, little cutie. I’m in District 25. What information do you want to exchange?】
There was no rush to gather information, and the information from just one person was not reliable. Yu Chi planned to think about it first.
【Eagle: I’m so bored, little cutie. Can I come find you?】
Yu Chi was still using her remaining brain capacity to think hard. She suddenly saw a sentence from the other party and broke out in a cold sweat.
What the hell? This chat logbook shouldn’t have the ability to teleport, right? Or can the other party’s teleportation item directly cross servers?
【Eagle: Can I? There are only a few thousand people left in our server. It’s so boring.】
Yu Chi: “…”
For a moment, she couldn’t tell if the other party was joking or serious, but no matter how she looked at it, it felt like this person’s mind was a little…
The other party was still talking to himself.
【Eagle: Little cutie, how many people are there in your server? It should be much more fun than here, right?】
【Eagle: Little cutie, are you a girl? How about being my sister’s little sister? I’ll be good to you~】
…
Fuck. Yu Chi slammed the chat logbook shut, feeling that she had been severely mentally polluted.
What the hell is this, and what the hell is this person?!
Yu Chi slammed the chat logbook, knowing why the space-time call could be Legendary grade, while this was only rare grade.
Did you send me to a pervert?!
Yu Chi calmed down and thought.
First, the other party’s mental state was very wrong. This should be related to the fact that there were only a few thousand people left in their server. Maybe they had experienced something cruel?
Second, the other party should not be able to come to her across servers.
According to her very boring statement, if she could have come, she would have run away long ago. How could she have stayed in a server she found boring?
Yu Chi couldn’t imagine what had happened in their server if what this person said was true.
No matter what, it shouldn’t be… it hadn’t even been half a month.
Bastard. Yu Chi, who didn’t want to burden her brain, directly gave up. In any case, no matter how much she thought about it, there would be no result.
“…”
I’d better go ask. Yu Chi cursed and opened the chat logbook.
【Fish: Sis, don’t be like this. I’m scared.】
【Fish: So why are there only a few thousand people left?】
The first was a casual response. The second was the key point she wanted to ask. The message from the other side came quickly.
【Eagle: They were all killed by a big bad guy. Don’t be afraid, little sister. I’m really a good person!】
Probably, Yu Chi thought to herself.
She counted the other party’s replies and found that there were still three left. Both people’s replies had to be used up before this chat could be considered over.
In Sea Survival, everyone was independent of others. Under normal circumstances, their dangers all came from the sea, but now…
For some reason, Yu Chi suddenly thought of [SurfingTheSea].
Is it my illusion? If the bad guy in Server 25 wants to kill people, he must have a teleportation item. So did he buy it from the system, or…
Yu Chi’s heart skipped a beat. She vaguely felt that there was some connection here, but she also felt that a serious clue was missing.
【Fish: Why did he kill people? Does he have a killing addiction? Did you buy the teleportation items in your server from the system mall?】
After sending the message, Yu Chi waited anxiously for a while. When she felt a reply, she immediately looked at it with anticipation.
【Eagle: Why are they all these irrelevant questions? I don’t want to answer.】
Yu Chi: “…”
Just smile.
She had almost forgotten that the sis on the other side might not be mentally stable. It would be a miracle if she could answer her honestly.
Yu Chi ground her teeth and directly asked—
【Fish: So, sis, do you have a way to come over? Across servers?】
【Eagle: If little sister wants me to come over, it’s definitely no problem.】
Yu Chi’s face changed. She got a terrible piece of information from this sentence.
She had long known that there were all kinds of items in this world. Since she had an item that could communicate across servers, then others might have an item that could directly cross servers.
It was just that all items had limitations… Yu Chi stared coldly at the words the other party had sent. The limitation of the other party’s item might be something like “the teleporting party agrees.”
And the reason the other party had not crossed servers was probably because she couldn’t contact people from other servers, and Yu Chi happened to be the first person she had contacted.
Of course, all of this was just speculation, but the possibility could not be ruled out, so she absolutely could not relax her guard.
Now, the other party only had one chance to reply. Yu Chi didn’t plan to get any more useful information. The other party was not a fool. She asked jokingly:
【Fish: That big bad guy isn’t you, is it, sis?】
【Eagle: Impossible! So, little sister, do you want me to come over? I’m very strong and can protect you! Promise me~】
Yu Chi felt that the other party’s tone was not very serious, more like teasing her. If she agreed, it would be fine. If she didn’t, it wouldn’t matter.
But now the other party had no more chances to speak. Yu Chi sneered and directly sent three messages in a row.
Fish: [Middle finger.jpg]
Fish: [Cat flying kick.jpg]
Fish: [Running away.jpg]
After sending the messages, Yu Chi, who felt that she had vented her anger, saw that their chat content was neatly printed on the first page of the [Chat Logbook], which also proved that this chat was over.
Unlike the space-time call, the chat logbook had a limitation. After all the pages were used up, this item could no longer be used.
Yu Chi rubbed her arms, still feeling inexplicably creeped out. The sis’s tone was really strange.
The [Chat Logbook] was starting to find the next lucky person for her. Yu Chi waited for 1 minute and found that it still showed [Searching…]. She simply stuffed the book back into her backpack and planned to take it out to play when she had time in the future.
Now she had more important things to do—
The Vermilion Bird Wood was in hand, and the resources were sorted out. Now was the perfect time to upgrade her small boat!
