There's something wrong with this version of the technique!

Chapter 240: A Peach's Ten Years of Life
"Beware of the dark, what does that mean?"

"What else can it mean? It means it's dangerous here at night."

"Our intuition is correct. There must be danger in the ruins."

"I heard that the ruins sometimes wander outside the real world and choose some lucky people to enter early. This gathering place should have been built by people who entered the ruins before. They knew the rules here, so they put up this sign."

"That makes sense. After all, it's a relic fragment. We were prepared for this before we came here. One hour can add one year to your lifespan. I've never heard of such a magical thing. If there was no danger, I would have doubted whether there was something fishy about this lifespan."

Night is about to fall.

After discussion, several people chose the wooden house as a temporary shelter.

Some people live with friends, while others choose to live alone.

One of the fat men smiled and invited Lu Yue to live with him, but that smile and that look made Lu Yue feel inexplicably awkward, so he decisively refused.

Then I chose a wooden house alone.

Before entering the house, Lu Yue looked at his left wrist.

It took three hours from entering the ruins to finding the temporary gathering place.

Life expectancy also increased by three years.

Enter the house.

Tables, chairs, beds, cabinets and other handmade and slightly rough daily necessities are covered with a thick layer of dust, and various kinds of clothes are scattered inside, ranging from ancient long gowns and jackets to modern suits and leather shoes, and then to modern casual wear.

All of this proves that humans from different eras have lived here.

But... where did these people trapped in the ruins go?
What danger does the "Beware, It's Dark" warning sign mean?
The darkness of the ruins came faster than expected.

After nightfall, this temporary gathering place was quiet and silent, and any slight movement from the outside world was particularly clear.

Lu Yue had cleared out a place to rest and was sitting there thinking about something.

He was thinking about what those extraordinary people who started practicing as soon as they landed would encounter after dark, and was also planning his next actions.

Two goals.

The first is to find the corpse-sewer who participated in the murder of Taoist Fang thirty years ago.

Uncover the secrets of that year.

Since this relic fragment was found in the mass grave of the corpse-stitcher, it is likely that it belonged to the corpse-stitcher from thirty years ago, so the core treasure is likely to be where the corpse-stitcher is.

After all, that is the core related to God.

If that corpse-sewer had a normal mind, he would definitely guard the core.

Therefore, his first goal was actually similar to everyone else's.

Find the core... and then find the corpse-stitcher.

Lu Yue already had a general idea in his mind. As the saying goes, there is strength in numbers. He could use the power of other extraordinary people to search for it.

Others will certainly spare no effort in finding the core treasure.

By then, he only needs to sit back and enjoy the results.

The first problem was happily solved.

Lu Yue expelled the turbid air from his chest and began to think about his second goal.

That is to develop vigorously in the ruins fragments and earn a lot of source energy.

Generally speaking, the more bizarre the place, the more energy there is to be gained.

If you really compare this place to a chicken game.

Whether it's Port G, military base, City P, mine, City K or whatever...

These strongholds may all contain opportunities, and there is a high possibility that they are a "source energy pool". All he has to do is find the source and start accumulating original capital.

After clearing this stronghold, head to the next one.

During this period, keep communicating with other players in real time to obtain information.

Once the time is right, immediately run in circles and start competing for the final core.

In the past, the two famous world wars demonstrated an important truth: when distributing the cake after the war, the key is not who has made the most effort in the early stage, but who has retained the greatest strength.

Come down from the sky at the right time and take away the biggest piece of cake.

Hmm... Why do I feel my thoughts are so dirty the more I think about it? ! ! !

Not in line with positive energy at all!!!

After the analysis, Lu Yue cheered up and waited for the crisis to come to this stronghold.

Before I knew it, another hour had passed and everything outside was calm.

Just as Lu Yue felt the urge to urinate, he noticed the number on his wrist. It should be seventy-nine years of life before dark.

How come it became seventy-eight in just one hour?
Lu Yue's face suddenly became serious. He certainly didn't think that the rules of the ruins fragments had not received nine years of compulsory education.

This only proves one thing, that danger has arrived quietly.

What used to be an extra year for one hour now turns into a loss of one year.

What caused this?

Day...Night...

Lu Yue's heart was shocked, and he already had a bad guess in his mind.

Could it be that every hour of daylight adds one year to your life?

Every hour spent at night reduces one year of life.

Just like yin and yang are opposites and the rules are reversed?
Lu Yue pursed his lips. How are the day and night times determined?

In the real world, the length of day and night is affected by factors such as season, geographic location, and weather conditions.

This is a relic fragment, and it should have its own set of rules.

How long will its day and night be?
Theoretically, there are twelve hours in the day and twelve hours in the night.

In this way, life expectancy does not actually increase or decrease.

But there is also an extreme case.

Polar Night!!!

When the day no longer comes and the night remains forever, one day will cause the loss of twenty-four years of life. Even if he lives to be a hundred years old, he can only last for more than three days.

When he thought of this, Lu Yue could no longer remain calm.

Fortunately, he remembered the peaches in his hand at this time.

This thing is a relative of the real fairy peach and can prolong life.

Now it's time to take a bite.

Lu Yue quickly took out a peach the size of a human head, ate it in a few bites, and then stared at the number on his wrist...

[Seventy-eight] becomes [Eighty-eight]

A peach only adds ten years to your life?

He currently has more than fifty peaches, which are enough to extend his life by more than five hundred years. Even in extreme situations, he can last for more than half a month.

There is enough time to think of a solution.

Lu Yue breathed a sigh of relief, and the huge rock in his heart finally settled down.

Afterwards, Lu Yue began to practice, but this time he did not concentrate fully on it. After all, in such an unknown place, it was extremely necessary to stay vigilant.

Time passed quietly, and another two hours passed.

Lu Yue’s life span was deducted by another two years.

rustling...

Suddenly, there was a faint sound of footsteps outside.

There are still people wandering outside in the middle of the night?
Lu Yue, who was practicing, was awakened by the sudden noise. He came out of his practice state, quietly came to the door, and peeked out through the gap in the wooden board.

I saw a blurry figure walking quickly towards the gathering place from the woods.

Due to the angle, he couldn't see the other person's face clearly.

After the figure entered the gathering place, he walked directly towards a wooden house on the left and knocked gently on the door.

Boom boom boom!
The owner of the cabin did not open the door, but the figure still insisted on knocking.

Boom boom boom!
In this dead silent gathering place, even the slightest knock on the door seemed extremely clear and creepy.

After the knocking continued for a while, the owner of the wooden cabin finally seemed to lose his patience and suddenly opened the door. At this moment, Lu Yue caught the unexpected joy on the owner's face.

Then the figure said something and entered the cabin.

Lu Yue, who had been peeping, frowned.

He did not sense the peculiar evil spirit of ghosts.

So who is this dark figure?
Is he the extraordinary person who was practicing outside before?
Or some other unknown existence?
The other party was not a ghost, so Lu Yue lost interest in going out to take a look.

Retract your gaze and continue practicing.

Not long after, there was a knock on Lu Yue's door.
