nThe skinny old man, Jimmy, narrowed his eyes and was on guard against the zombie. Then, he put his hand on the crossbow.
n
nThe zombie staggered to Fang Heng and threw the materials it had collected on the floor.
n
nHint: Your zombie completed a round of sourcing materials ahead of time. You have obtained firewood*2, pebbles*7, feathers*4, bird eggs*2, waste*2, plastic*1.
n
nFang Heng waved his hand and told his zombie clone to go outside for the next round of ‘hack’.
n
n“This… This is…”
n
nLiao Bufan looked in shock at the zombie who gave Fang Heng the materials. He was so confounded that he couldn’t say anything. After a long while, he finally uttered feebly.
n
n“How can a game be played like this?”
n
n“Look at what you’re saying. These are the basics.”
n
nWhile speaking, Fang Heng put away the materials. There were only two bird eggs left. He put them in front of his nose and sniffed.
n
n“Hmm, they’re not spoilt!”
n
nThe zombie clone was lucky. During the search, it found a bird’s nest and took two eggs as food.
n
n“How can I not know the basics?” Liao Bufan finally reacted. He was afraid that Fang Heng would go back on his words and hurriedly said, “It’s a deal, Fang Heng. We agreed just now. I’ll give you all the materials in exchange for a boiled egg.”
n
n“Of course.”
n
nFang Heng put all the materials in front of Liao Bufan into his backpack.
n
nFang Heng didn’t like most of the materials Liao Bufan collected, but one of them, the evolution crystal fragments, was what he required.
n
n“Boy, you’re pretty good. Your talent skill is extraordinary. It must be of a high level.”
n
nSeeing that the zombies weren’t threatening him, Jimmy had already put away his weapon.
n
n“It’s an S-level talent skill.”
n
nFang Heng admitted it openly.
n
n“No wonder.”
n
nJimmy nodded with a smile. Living in a shelter with an S-level support-type talent skill, he could at least benefit from it.
n
nLiao Bufan, on the other hand, looked at the two eggs in Fang Heng’s hands and drooled. He urged Fang Heng to start cooking.
n
n“Fang Heng, let’s not talk about this nonsense. You’ve already taken my materials. Hurry up and cook. What are we waiting for?”
n
n“If it’s boiled eggs, we will need water, right?” Liu Lin realized that Fang Heng’s talent skill was more powerful than she had expected. After the initial shock, she took the initiative to show her goodwill and said, “I have water here. I can lend it to you.”
n
n“No need, no need.”
n
nWhile saying that, Fang Heng raised his head to look at the door again.
n
nAnother zombie staggered in through the wooden door.
n
nIt stood in front of Fang Heng and took out the materials one by one from its backpack, just like before.
n
nHint: Your zombie has completed a round of sourcing materials ahead of time. You have obtained firewood*7, pebbles*2 and a glass bottle filled with river water*2.
n
nFang Heng took out the glass bottle and placed it on the bonfire to heat it.
n
nThere was a high chance that drinking the river water directly would have an adverse effect.
n
nAfter the water was boiled, there would be no such concern.
n
nLiao Bufan watched eagerly as the water was boiling. He couldn’t help but think that Fang Heng’s skill was too perfect. In the post-apocalyptic era, it was like a cheat!
n
nFang Heng slowly waited for the water to boil. Then, he cracked the bird’s egg into the glass bottle.
n
nHint: You have completed boiling an egg. You have mastered the cooking skill, skill experience points 1.
n
nTwo simple boiled eggs were done!
n
n“Huff, huff, it’s hot, it’s hot.”
n
nAfter the cooking was done, Liao Bufan eagerly took the glass bottle. He did not care that it was hot and directly gulped down a mouthful.
n
nBoiled eggs were really good stuff! It could quench thirst and also satisfy hunger!
n
nAfter eating a boiled egg, Liao Bufan’s satiety increased by 15 points and the feeling of thirst was also reduced by more than half.
n
nHe sat in front of the bonfire and silently looked at Liu Lin. He suddenly felt that the potato he had eaten not long ago was not worth it.
n
nHe had sold himself off in such a hurry. This was too much of a loss!
n
nFang Heng slowly drank a bowl of boiled eggs.
n
nA pity, he did not care about his hunger.
n
nLiu Lin was right. It was very difficult to get food in the forest. Out of the ten zombies sent out to search, only one found food.
n
nHowever, Fang Heng was not in a hurry. After all, the first round of search had not been completed. After a few rounds of hacking, finding food and water would not be a problem.
n
nAfter filling his stomach, Fang Heng started to prepare for tonight.
n
nIn the early stages of the game, to spend a night peacefully, in addition to the shelter, one also needed a bonfire to keep themselves warm and a simple bed to sleep on.
n
nThe bonfire was readily available here, so they just had to make sure that there was enough firewood.
n
nThe production of the simple bed was also very simple.
n
nIt only required the most basic firewood and grass.
n
nIn the zombie apocalypse game, players were only allowed to go offline after making a simple bed.
n
nDuring the offline process, the game default was for the player to enter a sleep state, which allowed the player to quickly recover their energy. Moreover, their satiety would also decrease a little more slowly than usual.
n
nHowever, once the player’s bed was destroyed during the offline process, the player in reality would immediately be drawn into the King of Gods’ game and received a negative effect.
n
nHint: You have completed the production of the simple bed, your basic crafting skill experience points 1.
n
n“Fang Heng.”
n
n“Huh?”
n
n“Hehe.” Liao Bufan leaned over and scratched his head in embarrassment. “I forgot that I didn’t even make a bed. Why don’t you lend me some materials? I’ll return them to you tomorrow.”
n
n“There’s no need to return them. Consider it a gift.”
n
nFang Heng casually gave Liao Bufan the simple bed that he had just made.
n
nThe materials used to make a bed were too ordinary. They could be found almost anywhere in the wild, so they were not valuable at all.
n
n“Ha, so sorry about that but thank you! If you need me in the future, I’ll help.”
n
nLiao Bufan patted his chest to show that he was very reliable.
n
nThe people sitting in front of the bonfire sorted out their harvest for the day and also made some basic survival tools.
n
nFang Heng yawned. He felt a little tired, so he decided to log off and take a nap.
n
nHowever, there was one more thing he needed to do before that, which was to keep watch.
n
nIt was necessary to take turns to keep watch at night. Although the zombies outside couldn’t come in, what if other players came in?
n
n“Why don’t we arrange a night watch?”
n
nNone of them was a newbie. Seeing that no one objected, the black and skinny old man, Jimmy, followed up with what Fang Heng said and continued, “Then let’s allocate duties. From 12 am until 8 am, each of us will be responsible for two hours of the night watch.”
n
nAfter discussing for a while, Fang Heng chose to go online to keep vigil from 2-4 am.
n
n“Okay, then let’s go online five minutes earlier.”
n
nAfter they came up with the night watch schedule, Fang Heng instructed the zombies to search for ‘hack’ materials on an infinite loop.
n
n“Everyone, I’m a little tired. I’m going offline now. See you tomorrow.”
n
nAfter saying that, Fang Heng laid on the bed without waiting for the others to react.
n
nHint: The player is about to quit the game.
n
nHint: The player has been online for 7.9 hours today. You have a total of 30 hours of offline time. Please return to the game before your offline time runs out.
n
nHint: Please note that under certain circumstances, you will be forcefully pulled into the game.
n
nSeeing that Fang Heng would quit the game as soon as he said so, the remaining people in the small cabin looked at each other in dismay.
n
nIn the early stages of the game, it was usually better to stay in the game for as long as possible. This way, they would be able to obtain more offline time and make up for the mandatory 30-day game time set by the King of Gods’ game earlier.
n
n“Why was this guy in such a hurry to go offline?”
n
nLiao Bufan looked at Fang Heng’s simple bed, shook his head and said silently.
n
n“Big brother, you’re so willful.”
