Shocked, I'm the Favorites in the Survival Game - chapter 14

What are Points? What are they used for?

Just as Chu Yian was feeling puzzled, she noticed that in addition to her information, there was a new row of information displayed above.

[Points Mall] [Communication Area] [Warehouse]

Chu Yian first clicked on the Points Mall.

There were only three types of items inside:

(1) Food Package: 1 unit = 1 Point (after consumption, Satiety instantly becomes 100%; if it drops below 20%, there is a risk to life)

(2) Cleaning Package: 1 unit = 1 Point (after use, Cleanliness instantly becomes 100%; if it drops below 40%, you will get sick; if it drops below 20%, there is a risk to life)

(3) Medical Package: 1 unit = 5 Points

After seeing the above, Chu Yian understood what Points were for.

She spent two Points to buy one Food Package and one Cleaning Package. These two items were directly placed into the Warehouse icon. When she opened the Warehouse window and selected the corresponding options, the items appeared in her hands.

The Food Package was a bottle of pale blue liquid.

After drinking it, her Satiety, which was at 90%, instantly became 100%. As for the sensation… there didn’t seem to be any.

The Cleaning Package was a small metallic box, with a conspicuous red button on its silver body. She simply pressed it, and the box scattered in her hand like sand, then flowed outward like water. Her Cleanliness also became 100%.

Not only her Cleanliness, but her clothes also looked as if they were newly bought.

Even the sofa beneath her became as clean as if it were brand new, making her look around involuntarily.

All around was pitch black!

It wasn’t that there was no light, but that the surroundings were shrouded in black mist. Around her, a two-cubic-meter safe space had formed, while everywhere else was filled with black mist.

This couldn’t help but remind Chu Yian of the rule she’d heard before-contact with the black mist means player death.

So she was trapped in this two-cubic-meter space?

Chu Yian shouted at the top of her lungs several times, but no one answered. It was as if she was the only person left in the world. Suddenly, she didn’t know which was better: the world full of zombies, or this world full of black mist.

Suddenly, she noticed she hadn’t checked the Communication Area yet.

Clicking on the [Communication Area], she saw it was divided into [World], [Nearby 20 Kilometers], and [Friends].

[World
[Rongge Novel Resource Group 229036474]
]: Help, what is this thing? Is it the end of the world?

[World
[Rongge Novel Resource Group 229036474]
]: The black mist must be an invasion of Blue Star by an advanced civilization! I never thought I’d encounter an alien invasion in my lifetime. Awesome, so exciting! It’s just like playing a fully immersive game.

[World
[Rongge Novel Resource Group 229036474]
]: Are you crazy? This game is deadly! I was bitten by a zombie as soon as I stepped outside, and I’m still shaken. Why are so many people out? Did any of you get out by clearing the level, instead of being bitten to death?

[World
[Rongge Novel Resource Group 229036474]
]: Please, can anyone escape from the zombies and reach the safe zone?

[World 3102]: It wasn’t so bad. I ran out. It was all thanks to drawing a handgun and a thousand rounds of ammo from the Beginner’s Gift Pack. What did you all get from your Beginner’s Gift Pack? Do we have to hand in things like handguns?

[World
[Rongge Novel Resource Group 229036474]
]: Yes, hand it over to me.

[World
[Rongge Novel Resource Group 229036474]
]: Hand it over to me.

[World
[Rongge Novel Resource Group 229036474]
]: Damn, I drew a bottle of mineral water…

Many people were already communicating there, and the World Forum was updating with tens of thousands of messages per second. Chu Yian read through some of them and learned that not everyone could clear the level; those who died in the game would return directly to reality.
Soon, messages started appearing in the [Nearby 20km] channel as well.

[Nearby
[Rongge Novel Resource Group 229036474]]: Has anyone around us cleared the game?

[Nearby
[Rongge Novel Resource Group 229036474]]: Everyone, please speak up. Although we’re all safe so far, seeing the descriptions behind those items in the Points Exchange makes me really uneasy.

[Nearby
[Rongge Novel Resource Group 229036474]]: As a novel fan, I have the most say in this. Have you read infinite survival novels? The kind where you survive if you clear the game, but die if you fail. Damn, this is the first time I’ve experienced what it means for fiction to become reality.

[Nearby
[Rongge Novel Resource Group 229036474]]: Although the rules of this game are much milder than dying immediately upon failure, if you keep failing, starving or dying from illness… that’s terrifying too.

[Nearby
[Rongge Novel Resource Group 229036474]]: Exactly. Looks like they’re going to starve or sicken us to death in five days. Probably not many people have cleared it, right? Are there any nearby? Can you let us know?

[Nearby
[Rongge Novel Resource Group 229036474]]: Same question! Also, what did everyone get from their Beginner’s Gift Pack? I drew a bottle of laxative… damn!

[Nearby
[Rongge Novel Resource Group 229036474]]: Hearing about your luck, I suddenly feel like drawing a mobile phone isn’t so bad after all.

…

For a while, everyone started reporting what they had drawn.

Some got tea leaves, some got a dry-cleaning machine, and someone even got a chicken that lays eggs every day…

All sorts of strange things appeared, making Chu Yian wonder if that big wheel even had any good prizes. The fact that she managed to get a treasure chest felt like incredible luck.

Or maybe those who got good stuff just kept quiet and made a fortune in silence.

It’s better not to tell others about her awesome treasure chest.

She thought about it seriously, then carefully started typing.

But someone was faster than her.

[Nearby
[Rongge Novel Resource Group 229036474]]: Finally cleared it, scared me to death.

[Nearby
[Rongge Novel Resource Group 229036474]]: Ahhh, we’ve found a survivor who cleared the game, everyone come and see!

[Nearby
[Rongge Novel Resource Group 229036474]]: Boss! The big boss who cleared the game!

[Nearby
[Rongge Novel Resource Group 229036474]]: May I ask how you cleared it, boss? What was the reward?

[Nearby
[Rongge Novel Resource Group 229036474]]: Clearing the game was mostly luck. I happened to be in the same city as the safe zone. I used the game item I drew to escape my residential area, then found a car on the road. Based on my location, I stumbled my way to the safe zone.

[Nearby
[Rongge Novel Resource Group 229036474]]: Awesome, I’m so jealous! Boss, if I may ask, what was your item?

[Nearby
[Rongge Novel Resource Group 229036474]]: Sorry, that’s not convenient to share. But I can tell you the reward-50 Points.

[Nearby
[Rongge Novel Resource Group 229036474]]: 50 Points? My god, that’s amazing! Does everyone who clears the game get 50 Points as a reward? Then we won’t have to worry about survival supplies anymore.
