I don't know what happened.
This morning, neither of them found a single treasure chest.
Zheng Wudi was thinking last night that he must plan his time well today, and try to save time when picking up treasure chests, so as to maximize his chances of encountering more treasure chests.
Before going to sleep, she was still thinking about how she would collect more treasure chests tomorrow and then use her lucky charm to open more supplies.
No, there's only one road, it's impossible to take the wrong one!
How come there are no treasure chests? This doesn't make sense!
Zheng Wudi spent the whole morning filled with anticipation, hoping that a treasure chest would appear at any moment.
By lunchtime, we still hadn't seen a single treasure chest.
Zheng Wudi quickly opened the light screen to see if other players were experiencing the same issue.
Chat area:
"No, what happened today? I admit I slacked off yesterday, but I've realized my mistake today. Why is it even worse than yesterday? I haven't encountered a single treasure chest today."
The ultimate lucky charm has arrived: I didn't get a single treasure chest this morning! I thought my luck had run out? Turns out I'm not the only one. Luckily, I got a lot of stuff yesterday, so I won't go hungry for the next few days.
"This is the end for me! Am I not going to get a single treasure chest all day? I didn't get much yesterday, how am I supposed to survive? Is this damn game just trying to kill me?! I'm all alone in this game, without a single person I know, and now I can't get anything, and you call this a game? Why don't you just call it a death trap game?"
"Actually, I can endure all of this, but right now I'm all alone on this road, unable to touch anything, and there's fog all around. The green plants growing on both sides of the road look very fake to me, and when I touched them, they were indeed fake. Even though I just started playing this game, I'm already a bit depressed."
"I want to die! I'm not kidding! This is so boring. I only found three wooden crates yesterday, and they were all empty. At least last night I got some stuff from the system. Today there's nothing at all. I'm so desperate!"
"Just hang in there a little longer, your family members might be doing the same!"
"But I'm all alone in my family. I can't wait any longer, I'd rather die now."
Zheng Wudi saw that the person's profile picture went black after they finished speaking.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to reopen old wounds. I didn't realize you had no family."
"Hey upstairs, don't be sad. You don't know his situation. Anyway, once we're in the game, let's all help each other out! Don't give up! There are children and elderly people on Earth, not just family! Don't forget, if we lose the game, we'll all die! Let's all try our best to win!"
"There's no hope, absolutely no hope. Mom, I regret it, I want to go home. Mom, I miss you so much."
"Upstairs, a mama's boy?"
"It seems so, but I also want to call her Mom. What kind of miserable life is this? Coming into this game, I didn't get anything edible, and I don't know how to cook, so I ate raw meat! I'll just live one day at a time! Now I don't even want to think about the parasites from eating raw meat. Just surviving is good enough."
...
Zheng Wudi scrolled through the chat area and saw that everyone was complaining about not getting the treasure chest that morning.
Although it's not nice to say it like that, Zheng Wudi was indeed much more relieved.
It's just that everyone being unlucky won't solve the problem!
I wonder what's going on today? If we can't get the treasure chests later, then all the players in the entire region are doomed.
Highway game! What to do if you can't get the treasure chest?
Zheng Quansheng grilled meat for her while Zheng Wudi took the opportunity to carefully search the trees along the roadside to see if there were any treasure chests buried underneath, or if there were any other treasures waiting for her to discover in the greenery on both sides of the road.
Zheng Wudi shoveled the military shovel into the soil and dug with all his might! He couldn't dig it out!
What kind of soil is this? It's so hard! Zheng Wudi had no choice but to ask Zheng Quansheng for help to dig it up.
The effort wasn't wasted; at least one wrong option was eliminated.
Zheng Quansheng dug up the entire tree, leaving a large pit around it, but there was still nothing there. He decided he would never waste his energy like that again.
The main reason Zheng Wudi made this decision was because of a system announcement.
[System Announcement: The game difficulty has been reduced for the first seven days for new players. However, the system is a good system, and to help you get on track quickly, various difficulties will be randomly assigned after the first seven days. Therefore, players should no longer dig up trees by the roadside. There are no resources there now, and there will be no resources there in the future! Please do not damage public facilities without reason! This is the first warning; if you do it again!!! The system will deduct a portion from your existing resources as compensation!]
Zheng Wudi silently complained in his heart, "This game is really not rich at all. Shouldn't these things refresh every time?"
They're even taking away players' resources like this? I can't afford to play like this!
Forget it, I'm a magnanimous person, I won't stoop to its level.
Is it really possible that there won't be any treasure chests all day today?
How is she supposed to live?
Never mind, let's eat something first!
Man is made of iron, food is made of steel, you'll get hungry if you skip a meal!
After all, I rode my bike all morning. Even if I didn't do anything special, I still put in the effort!
We need to eat well and be full. Who knows when we'll be able to eat our fill again!
Tell my mom that I will live a frugal life from now on!
Zheng Wudi, with his dramatic flair, finished his meal.
Maybe I should take a nap! I've been driving all morning without stopping to rest, and I've already driven 98 kilometers, almost as many as I did yesterday. I can take a short break this afternoon.
She got up early this morning and did so many miles, so this afternoon nap is well deserved.
Zheng Wudi asked Zheng Quansheng to set a one-hour nap time.
She took out her tent and sleeping bag, ready to have a good night's sleep.
When I wake up in a bit, I'll start hand-spinning wool and get ready to learn how to make winter clothes!
Otherwise, all that wool is just sitting there! What a waste!
