Survival in the neighborhood: Give me a piece of bread every day

"Where?"

Chen An and Wang Ziyan stopped searching through the trash and quickly came out.

The flashlight illuminated half of the hallway.

But we didn't see the six-legged monster.

Meanwhile, sounds of smashing and looting could still be heard from upstairs and downstairs.

The residents are busy physically acquiring resources.

"I just saw it run into the stairwell in front."

Bai Mengjie pointed to the dark stairwell.

"Let's go take a look."

Chen An gestured for Lin Luxi and Wang Ziyan to walk ahead.

Although the intelligence he bought said that the six-legged monster was not very aggressive, it was only a possibility.

What if it's aggressive?

Moreover, there might be other monsters lurking in the stairwell.

Therefore, caution is necessary.

The two women, carrying crossbows, cautiously approached the stairwell.

Then Wang Ziyan used a flashlight to illuminate the dark corridor and carefully checked it from top to bottom.

But after searching around, they couldn't find the six-legged monster, or even hear its voice.

"I didn't see it; it might have already run upstairs or downstairs."

Wang Ziyan turned around and said.

But just as she turned around...

A wriggling sound came from the darkness.

Lin Luxi, who was prepared, pulled the trigger immediately, and the crossbow fired arrows in rapid succession.

A piercing scream came from the darkness, then quickly disappeared.

Wang Ziyan trembled with fright, quickly turned around, gripped the crossbow tightly, and stared in the direction of the screams.

It's downstairs!

The monster was hiding under the stairs!

"My drop rate has increased; it's dead."

Lin Luxi immediately opened the panel, glanced at it, and then said.

Chen An raised an eyebrow.

This introverted girl actually has such a sharp fighting spirit.

She had been staring at the stairwell the whole time.

When Wang Ziyan relaxed her guard, she was not distracted in the slightest.

The moment they heard the monster's voice, they accurately fired their crossbow bolts.

Furthermore, the first thing to do is to determine whether a monster has been killed based on the drop rate of the talent...

Chen An understood why she dared to go out of the neighborhood to hunt monsters two days ago without getting hurt.

Their combat awareness is indeed strong!

but.

It's quite a contrast that Lin Luxi, who is so timid and hesitant when speaking to others, possesses such talent in combat...

On the contrary, the bespectacled girl, Wang Ziyan, was too careless.

I don't know if it was because there were so many people in the building today, but she got a little cocky and dared to let her guard down.

"Let's go see what's been revealed."

Chen An gestured to Wang Ziyan.

"Um……"

Wang Ziyan responded and looked at Lin Luxi beside her, "Luxi, thank you for earlier."

"N-nothing, that monster didn't mean to attack. It probably just wanted to escape."

Lin Luxi quickly waved her hand.

Her flustered appearance was a stark contrast to her earlier decisive and quick-witted demeanor.

She's such a contrasting woman.

Wang Ziyan took the initiative to go down the stairs to check on the monster.

She knew that Chen An's impression of her was probably not very good now.

Originally, she wanted to make a good impression on Chen An and get his attention.

As a result, because he was too eager to perform, he kept making mistakes.

I was almost attacked by a monster just now.

Even though Lin Luxi said that the monster had no intention of attacking.

But what if it's a different monster?

She turned around without any warning. If it were the Faceless Monster, it might have suddenly rushed over and killed her!

He lost his life just because of a momentary lapse in concentration.

This is the true cruelty of the world of eternal night...

No wonder Chen An was still very cautious even though he was wearing a full set of defensive gear.

At this moment, Wang Ziyan felt ashamed for having previously said that Chen An was overly cautious.

Even if you're inside the building, and even if you know the six-legged monster might not be very aggressive, you shouldn't be so careless.

Wang Ziyan adjusted her mindset and went down the stairs, where she saw only a wooden treasure chest the size of a watermelon.

There were several arrows lying on the ground nearby, some of which had missed their mark.

"The monster that was just killed should be a six-legged monster."

Wang Ziyan picked up the treasure chest, gathered the arrows, and walked up.

Chen An glanced at the treasure chest a few times, then put it into his backpack and said, "Let's go upstairs and see if there are any other six-legged monsters up there."

Wang Ziyan was prepared to be scolded by Chen An.

Surprisingly, I wasn't scolded this time, and I wasn't even given a single extra word.

This……

Has Chen An completely lost hope in himself?

Surely... no way?

Wang Ziyan's heart suddenly clenched.

If Chen An really hates me and is disappointed in me, will he kick me out?

Will they not feed me?

She's overthinking it.

The reason Chen An didn't educate Wang Ziyan the same way he had before was that he felt Wang Ziyan hadn't made any fatal mistakes.

As for having less combat experience than Lin Luxi, that's actually normal.

It should be noted that just three days ago, they were all ordinary flowers living on campus.

Let alone combat experience, most students don't even have much social experience.

On the contrary, people like Lin Luxi, who can adapt to killing in a short period of time, are extremely rare.

Even among male students, few could match her reaction speed and fighting spirit.

This is talent.

Talent is something that can't be explained.

Just like math, some people can learn it at a glance and understand it after just one lesson, but many more people can't learn it even if they pull their hair out.

Chen An and the others searched several more floors, but did not encounter the six-legged monster again.

We didn't encounter any other monsters or useful resources.

So they simply went downstairs to recover their strength while they waited.

The other residents are still searching for supplies in the building.

Although Chen An didn't like many of the leftover materials, other residents did.

After all, being able to collect resources without risk is already a good thing for most people.

After waiting for about half an hour, people gradually started coming downstairs.

The first group to come down were Li Jia and his burly male residents, along with several other familiar faces.

"Boss, how's your haul?"

Li Jia stepped forward and asked.

"good."

Chen An simply nodded.

"We were lucky; we stumbled upon a six-legged monster. After chasing it for ages, we finally managed to gang up on it and kill it. Then a treasure chest dropped. Boss, do you want to keep it?"

Li Jia took a wooden treasure chest out of his backpack.

"Of course I'll accept it."

Chen An glanced at it a few times, then put it into his backpack, and took out two gold coins from the backpack and handed them over.

"Thanks, boss!"

Li Jia happily accepted the gold coins.

The people behind him all beamed with joy.

Although the six-legged monster runs fast, it is relatively difficult to catch.

But it's not aggressive, and killing it would just be a waste of energy, with no real danger to your life!

In this dangerous world, anything that offers high returns without posing a threat to your life is undoubtedly a great benefit!

Six-legged monsters are just welfare monsters!

"Boss, let's keep looking for the six-legged monsters! There must be more outside!"

Someone said impatiently.

Those two gold coins weren't enough for all of them to share.

With such easy-to-kill monsters, we must kill as many as possible.

This way you'll have enough coins to upgrade your room to level three!
