The moment the sunlight shone down, all the eerie footprints left from last night were erased, and even the car roof, which had been dented from being stepped on, returned to its original state.
The loud crack as the car roof was put back on startled Shen Muyu awake, but she was relieved after learning about the situation from Xiao A.
Although it wasn't even six o'clock yet, Shen Muyu, whose heart was racing from the shock, clearly couldn't sleep. She tucked Da Bai into bed and went to the workroom to exercise.
After a busy day yesterday, Shen Muyu's exploration level reached 19.1. Although she didn't know the current exploration level of others, the fact that there were only three days left still made her a little anxious.
So before eight o'clock, Shen Muyu had Xiao A start the car. Anyway, it was already bright outside, and the danger should be different from at night.
Xiao A drove along the circle roughly drawn by Shen Muyu. Although it was forced to change direction due to the influence of tall grassy slopes along the way, it was basically the same.
"Master, there's a lake ahead." Learning from the previous experience, Little A immediately stopped the car as soon as she saw this strange place, to avoid being unwittingly dragged into some special instance again.
Shen Muyu, who was building a nest for the chicks, immediately ran out.
Before me lay a perfectly circular lake, its edges and corners polished smooth, clearly not a normal place.
Shen Muyu gritted his teeth when he saw that he had only increased his exploration progress by a little over a morning.
"Little A, let's go." After thinking it over, Shen Muyu decided to go and take a look. Fortune favors the bold, and even dungeons are generally not too difficult, so it's worth the risk.
"Yes, Master."
As we approached the lake, the electronic voice suddenly popped up.
"Congratulations, player, you have passed through the special location Treasure Chest Lake. You are currently being teleported. Please wait."
In the blink of an eye, Shen Muyu was sent inside. In fact, not much had changed. There was still blue sky, white clouds, grass, and the circular lake. The only difference was that a circular dirt road had been added along the lake.
"Congratulations on successfully entering the special instance within the special instance: Treasure Chest Lake."
"Task now issued: Fishing."
Just like last time, there were no rules, but this task just happened to fall into Shen Muyu's hands, since she has a mysterious fishing rod!
Previously, due to acid rain erosion, the organisms in the river were marked as polluted and inedible. Now, we can finally give Big White some snacks again.
However, just as Shen Muyu opened the back door, ready to begin his relaxing fishing trip, three blue light curtains descended from the sky, dividing the circular lake into four equal parts, and even the area behind it was encircled by the light curtains. (It was roughly like a cake being cut in half horizontally and vertically, becoming four pieces.)
That's not all. Suddenly, a small car appeared in each of the other three parts with a flash of white light. Then, just like Shen Muyu, they all opened the car doors and stretched out a fishing rod.
As the video played, the originally transparent blue light screen instantly turned into the opaque film that had been seen before, and Shen Muyu could only see the situation of a quarter of the lake in front of him.
"What's going on? Other players?" Shen Muyu's eyes flashed, and she became more wary.
It's unclear whether they were grouped together because of this instance or because they were originally in the same Endless Grassland.
If it's the former, that's fine. Shen Muyu is confident he won't lose to anyone else when it comes to fishing. But if it's the latter, that's more troublesome. What if they all end up in the same place after the dungeon ends? That would be hilarious.
However, this was clearly not the time to think about that problem. She needed to hurry up and start fishing. There was only one task at the moment, and she didn't know how to finish the dungeon. She needed to at least put herself in an advantageous position.
"Why is it so heavy?" Shen Muyu felt the huge pulling force coming from the fishing rod, gritted his teeth, and began to reel in the rope.
However, when the thing on the fishing hook surfaced, Shen Muyu's eyes widened. It turned out to be a box covered in green algae, and the material was impossible to tell.
Shen Muyu pulled it up with a single effort. So that's what the name of the dungeon meant. It was quite straightforward.
The box wasn't locked, and Shen Muyu opened it with a gentle lift of the lid.
Inside the huge box lay only a piece of kraft paper, which Shen Muyu glanced at and discovered was actually architectural blueprints.
Materials: 500 wooden blocks, 100 iron blocks.
"It feels like it's both useless and useful at the same time." Shen Muyu muttered and put it away. This guy came right after she finished talking about the clue card yesterday. It must be for that so-called village.
They cast several more lines and got all sorts of things, including a box full of steaming Yangzhou fried rice.
Just as Shen Muyu was about to cast another shot, an electronic voice suddenly rang out.
"Congratulations to Li Shiyi for obtaining the time-limited card: the road will rotate clockwise for one hour."
As soon as the electronic sound ended, Shen Muyu's car started to reverse, and Shen Muyu, who was preparing to cast his line, stumbled and almost fell off the car.
"Little A, drive faster!" Shen Muyu shouted as she looked at the opaque film so close to her. Just thinking about what happened to those grasses yesterday made her shudder.
Fortunately, Xiao A reacted quickly, and the car moved away from the membrane. Shen Muyu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Li Shiyi?" Shen Muyu opened the light screen and searched, but there was no such person in the regional chat. It seemed that he was probably a local native.
As Shen Muyu pondered, he cast another shot. With Xiao A by his side, the spin speed wasn't a problem. Luckily, it wasn't the lake in front of him that was spinning, or he might have gotten dizzy.
"Time-limited cards, looks like these boxes don't just contain ordinary things." Just as he finished muttering this, the float sank again, and Shen Muyu quickly started reeling in the line.
The moment Shen Muyu saw this, she immediately tidied her fishing line and cast her line. She only had ten minutes! She had to hurry!
Fortunately, her time-limited card was not reported, and her name was temporarily saved.
The fishing rod, which normally takes several minutes to hook a fish, was pulled down almost as soon as it touched the ground this time.
However, while the hook was fast, the weight was also truly astonishing. But based on previous experience, the heavier the box, the better the contents. So Shen Muyu put in all his effort for this box.
However, it still felt a little lacking, so Shen Muyu stepped aside, braced one foot against the car wall, and began to exert force again.
Fortunately, the result was not bad this time. After a few minutes, the box was finally pulled up. Without opening it, Shen Muyu cast another shot. At this moment, time was life!
The second shot was almost immediately bitten by the club, but time was still wasted on the follow-up. Fortunately, the third shot was completed before the time card expired.
Looking at the three boxes in front of him, Shen Muyu put down his fishing rod and rubbed his hands together, wondering if he could get a lucky card with a validity period of a few hours, hehe.
