Weird Survival: I can devour thousands of talents

Chapter 147 Chapter 146: Prepare for a rainy day, all the way north! (Daily)
[World Quest - Long Night (Thousand Miles of Ice in Progress)]

[Explanation: The torrential rain failed to extinguish the sparks we've painstakingly ignited, and a cold wave has quietly arrived! Survivors! Head south! Only in the south, even further south! Will you find a glimmer of hope?]

[Basic content: Survive until November 98, 11]

[Additional content: LV15 Explorers account for 60%; LV20 Explorers account for 10%]

[Reward: Common title [Cold Resistance Expert]; completing additional content ahead of time will grant you access to information related to the latest [Magic Tide]]

The new version of the notice is not much different from the previous one.

It was almost morning when [Rain Falls and Flows] ended. Ling Xiao had a brief look at the description of [Thousand Miles of Ice] and had a basic psychological expectation.

Open your eyes.

Familiar faces flashed by one by one.

Qi Heng and others had expressions of joy and excitement on their faces.

It seems that everyone got promoted successfully.

Regardless of the test results, at least you will become a second-level professional.

Under the dim skylight, Ling Xiao took a deep breath of the cold air.

"His-"

"Oh my god! Even the Flaming Mountain is more fun than this world of ice and snow!"

Qi Heng's sobbing sound came from the side.

People in the south are not very cold-resistant.

Currently, there is not even a transition period for version changes.

For a moment, everyone in the guild was rubbing their hands and stamping their feet.

Fortunately, with the previous experience of dealing with [Rain Falling Torrent], everyone was not at a loss.

While spontaneously putting on thick clothes, the members all looked at Ling Xiao.

Waiting for the backbone to speak.

Ling Xiao didn't rush to give orders.

He first glanced at his watch, then checked the map to see if there were any new magic tide points marked.

tsk...

Nothing at all.

The map is unusually clean.

"First, make more fires,"

Even though his thoughts went wrong, Ling Xiao was not anxious.

He simply thought about it and then arranged it into categories: "Mengyu, start researching cold-resistant equipment and props first."

"Jinxi, take inventory of the animal hair, leather and other materials in stock, pay attention to the market, and purchase a batch if needed."

"Zhanqing, send people to excavate the Fire Spirit Stones in the cave! A cold wave is approaching... This fire-attributed ore will surely be of great use!"

The three of them took orders and left.

After being promoted to the second level, he had to go back to work before he had time to celebrate, but no one objected.

Very simple reason:

Whether it is good or bad, the recipient will feel it.

Those who are selfish will never be able to convince the public, but as long as those who are public-spirited establish credibility, everyone will be willing to fight with them!
Especially since this person is always at the forefront of solving problems!

Does Ling Xiao have any selfish motives?
That is impossible.

He is also a human being and can only try his best to suppress his desires to avoid bad things.

A truly selfless existence is beyond the scope of ordinary people.

He can be called a "great man"!
Ling Xiao admired him from the bottom of his heart, but he could only work hard to learn and get closer to him. He didn't dare to imagine that he could one day be on par with him, or even surpass him...

At the end of each version, the survivors who successfully survived will receive a wave of enhancements!
Ling Xiao is naturally no exception.

Moreover, he made the greatest contribution in the fight against the demonic tide, so the rewards he received were of course very generous!
[Random Skill Scroll [Excellent]*1, Random Equipment Box [Excellent]*1, Gift Box [Excellent]*1]

Three props of [excellent] quality, the value is self-evident!

Ling Xiao directly opened all these "treasure chests" that were obtained for free!
See what good stuff comes out!

【Terrible Roar [Excellence]】

【Frost Grip [Excellent]】

【Love is stronger than gold, double lock [Excellence]】

The skill is control plus amplification, which is pretty good; the equipment is rare ice attribute, which is quite powerful in the current copy, not bad.

But this last conceptual lock...

It's strong.

But with Ling Xiao's knowledge, he couldn't think of what this thing could be used to protect?
This small safe requires two people's simultaneous confirmation to open. Who is it protecting from?

However, this thing requires skills or items of [Rare] quality or above to break.

Think differently.

If an explorer wants to master [rare] skills, he must be at level 30 or even higher!

Even Ling Xiao, who is number one in the district and already has the [Excellent] skill, doesn't dare to say that he can master the [Rare] skill at the second level.

The leap in quality is reflected in a huge gap in strength.

Ling Xiao is confident that he will be able to obtain more [Excellence] items in the days to come.

But it is also important for people to know themselves, as the gap is not so easy to cross.

Now he only has two [Excellent] skills, [Wild Wind and Shadow Sword Technique] which is an unexpected surprise brought out from his dream.

Only [Eye of Secrets] Ling Xiao is the trophy he won himself.

Even if others are lucky, there won't be so much shit for them to step on, right?
First-level ordinary, second-level excellent...

This is the prop level of the vast majority of people.

So, although [Terrifying Roar] is somewhat incompatible with Ling Xiao's light and agile fighting style, it can at least increase his strength!

After all, external objects are not as reliable as one's own power.

After being promoted to the second level, the six-dimensional attributes skyrocketed.

This gave Ling Xiao several opportunities to draw status items.

The physical "Joker Three-Piece Set" is very practical and has infinite potential when combined!

Ling Xiao was reluctant to change, so he continued to strengthen it.

After reading "Thousand Miles of Ice", he also became interested.

The six-dimensional attributes are divided into two categories: body and soul.

Physical constitution cannot serve as an anchor to generate mental state.

Spirituality can anchor [Fire Element Affinity] to re-extract the state of perception.

[[Danger Reflection] has disappeared! [Temperature Sensitivity] has been added!]

It seems that things are not always smooth sailing for me.

Ling Xiao didn’t feel too sorry.

Now he has enough confidence and does not need to focus all his expectations on whether he is strong or not.

I wanted to change my mental state as well.

But when he thought of what happened to the Homecoming, Ling Xiao temporarily withdrew this idea.

The effects of [Unwavering Will] and [Eternal Ice Heart] somewhat overlap.

Logically speaking.

The latter is enough.

It’s just that Ling Xiao suffered too many setbacks at the soul level.

I simply continued strengthening my [Resolute Will] to cope with the stronger mental attacks that followed...

……

"Wow! Brother Xiao, I think yours is more suitable for me!"

After Qi Heng finished his work, he also opened his reward.

After seeing Ling Xiao's treasure, he also proposed an exchange.

【Terrible Roar】

The actual application scenario should be to interrupt the opponent's actions in a head-on confrontation, or to gain short-term control in a one-on-many situation.

Ling Xiao’s own use is just average.

But this skill is given to Qi Heng, in conjunction with his wide-range spear skills and the offensive type [Thunder Pool].

The image of a macho man charging into battle is just about to emerge!
Moreover, the [Excellence] skill that Qi Heng opened is really more suitable for Ling Xiao!

【Three Styles of the Overlord Sword】

【Excellent quality】

[Conditions: Constitution and Spirit reach 30, and all other attributes reach 20; Learning type (Swordsmanship meets the minimum skill requirements)]

[Special Effects: 1. Long Drive (Swing the sword forward, releasing sword energy along the way. This effect can be reactivated after hitting the target); 2. Spin Dance (Spin the sword, scattering sword energy around the body, which can injure the enemy or protect yourself); 3. Star Shattering (Shatter the sword energy, forming dense sword meteors after the explosion, which can be retracted at any time)]

[Review: Three ancient sword styles! They determine both superiority and life and death!]

The description is simple. The high threshold of the requirements is destined to make this skill extraordinary.

Look across the region.

Ling Xiao really doesn't know of another person who has both the required attributes and decent swordsmanship.

Just thought of the area.

Looking at the number of explorers in the channel "expanding" again, Ling Xiao also had a headache.

There is no other reason.

It's noisy……

In particular, there are a large number of lone wolf survivors without guild titles.

These people are also the ones who speak most eagerly in the channel.

The area number is still [6103] for now, and the number of guilds has not increased, which means there are no new forces.

That is to say, no other areas were merged in this version update.

These survivors of unknown origins also revealed their origins without hesitation:
They are all survivors left behind by those failed regions!
fail! ?
After listening to Li Xiang's summary, Ling Xiao finally understood the reason.

[World Quest] not only has rewards but also punishments.

The additional content appears to be to let the explorer know the information about the demon tide after completion.

In fact, there is also a hidden elimination mechanism concerning the entire region.

If at the end of the version, the number of explorers of the corresponding level still does not reach the proportion required for additional content.

Then the system will assume that the survivors in the area have insufficient potential or are not organized enough.

The system will cancel the current region, automatically disband the guild and disrupt everyone.

Disperse and transport them to areas like 6103 that have survived the version.

It sounds reasonable.

Ling Xiao put himself in her shoes.

From the perspective of the designers and maintainers of the "survival game", this is indeed a wise decision to maximize resources.

Human resources are also resources...

These survivors were able to survive the catastrophe of the demonic tide, and their average strength will only be stronger than the average of Area 6103!

It would be such a waste to destroy it directly along with the scrapping of the region...

It would be better to change the environment for these people.

Area 6103 has welcomed new blood; these people have the opportunity to continue to explore their potential; the game as a whole has not wasted population...

It really kills three birds with one stone...

Ling Xiao is still number one on the list, at least for now.

But there are also many unfamiliar nicknames on the "Top 100 List".

This [Top 100 List] is not one of the three default lists of the system, but an unofficial list compiled by curious people and widely recognized.

Based on the more valuable [Level List] and [Kill List], we excluded the [Exploration List] which has greater uncertainty factors such as luck.

Then, consider the target person's specific public records and achievements.

Finally, the strongest 100 people in the district were selected.

The name [Xiao] has firmly occupied the top spot since the top 100 list was first created!
It's been so long.

Others can't even catch up with the second-place [Bayi Cleaver], and only occasionally surpass the third-place [Ye Zhanqing].

But they will soon be overtaken.

Ling Xiao's strength is not limited to himself.

The people around him not only provided assistance but also benefited greatly.

After defeating a boss monster.

Even if their contribution is only a single-digit percentage, the experience reward is definitely higher than if they kill monsters alone!
Ling Xiao and Qi Heng, these top explorers, have truly realized “the rich lead the poor”!
"Brother Xiao, why do I feel colder and colder?!"

Qi Heng crossed his arms, rubbing them up and down, and asked, "Could it be that the cold wave has already arrived?"

Ling Xiao, who is more sensitive to temperature, did not react as strongly as he did.

But Ling Xiao couldn't help feeling a little angry when he looked at the three suns hanging in the sky.

It's weird, so forget it.

Can you at least make more use of the "sun" function?

Really just a light bulb! ?

No matter how angry an ant crawling on the ground is, it cannot burn the sun high above.

Ling Xiao withdrew his gaze from the distance and said with a helpless smile: "It's hard to say, hard to say!"

"Fuck... this damn game doesn't even give us a moment to breathe! We need to prepare early."

"Also, don't act weird in front of me! Is your physique really that weak now?"

Qi Heng put down his hand smoothly and smiled shyly.

He also bought extremely suitable materials from Crazy City and perfectly awakened his second-level profession.

In terms of the increase in attributes, it is probably not smaller than Lingxiao's.

Who made this guy have a sealed object as his heart?
Just talking about the flesh.

Qi Heng is probably stronger than Ling Xiao!
of course.

Once the latter slowly refines his bloodline, perhaps he will be able to catch up with the gap in the sealed object.

"Brother Xiao,"

Su Jinxi came over and reported: "Mengyu and the others have already developed clothing to keep out the cold."

"It's just that the time was short, so the quality of the drawings is not high. Look..."

Ling Xiao naturally understood the other party's implication.

It seems that the shortcomings are not mentioned, but in fact you can figure them out if you use your brain.

After taking a look at the drawings handed over by Sister Tiechui, I found that they were useless except for keeping warm!
"This thing is only a semi-finished product,"

Ling Xiao commented, "But it's better to have some than nothing. Let's make a batch first, tentatively 200 pieces. I'll make sure everyone has a spare."

"Continue the research. You will fully support their expenditure of funds and materials. Don't delay them, and don't interfere with professionals doing their professional work!"

"Yeah! I know!"

Su Jinxi nodded heavily and suddenly thought of something.

"By the way, Brother Xiao, a lot of people from other districts have sent in applications. How should we [Green Mountain Light] handle them?"

This statement came out.

It was Ling Xiao who reminded him.

"Quality is more important than quantity. We certainly want outstanding talents."

After pondering for a moment, he said, "It's just that character is more important than strength. A small rat's shit can sometimes cause much more harm than the outside world."

"Are there enough resources for the guild to continue upgrading?"

"That's enough! When we were clearing out the surrounding demonic tide landing points, we collected a lot of safe resource points."

"How much does it cost to upgrade? Half?"

Su Jinxi quickly checked the corresponding resources and upgrade requirements, and gave a definite answer after calculating three times.

"Twenty percent! Twenty percent is enough!"

"Everyone's so hardworking! The warehouse has been upgraded several times! It's now the highest-level building in the camp!"

Her eyes lit up when she talked about her professional field.

Originally, Su Jinxi was always shy when facing Ling Xiao. She spoke softly and didn't dare to look him in the eye.

At this moment, her face was filled with confidence, which made Ling Xiao a little dazed.

Fortunately, Ling Xiao had strong control over himself, so he didn't show any abnormality.

But Qi Heng, who was listening to a divine book, still heard something unspeakable.

The gaze, filled with inquiry, kept moving between the two of them.

Ling Xiao coughed lightly and agreed to the upgrade plan.

"Then let's upgrade! Announce to the channel that we're hiring new members."

"But don't rush to accept the pledge of allegiance, lest after much discussion it turns out to be unsuitable, both parties' efforts would be wasted..."

After saying that, Ling Xiao turned around and looked at the "plain" wilderness.

After the version update, the temperature began to drop, but there seemed to be no changes such as [Thousand Miles of Ice].

This made Ling Xiao a little confused.

And in this world, the best way to solve doubts is to explore!

"Since we have nothing to do anyway, Lao Qi, take your men and survey the surrounding area. Mark any resources you find and bring them back as soon as possible."

"how about you?"

"I?"

Ling Xiao chuckled softly and said, "Didn't the notice tell us to go south?"

"Then I'll head north! Let's see what's going on in the north!"
