Survival in the apocalypse: I exploited a bug in an infinite dungeon.

"Congratulations to player Shi Jinwei for successfully completing 'Anrong City'. Based on your overall performance, you are awarded 100 points. For successfully rescuing the hidden quest NPC and finding the safe house, you are awarded 50 points."

"Players who have completed this round of the game: 21358974823. Current number of surviving players: 21358974823."

"All players have successfully completed the first round of the game, and the 'Leaderboard' system is now open."

"The library is now open."

"The entertainment area is now open."

"The training room is now open."

"The Arena is now open."

"The above four areas can be accessed by accumulating points; please explore them on your own."

"Game item successfully recycled. The next round of the game will begin in three days. Have a nice day." This time, Shi Jinwei finally heard the complete mechanical voice announcement.

In just one round of the game, the number of players decreased by a staggering 32 billion, which is simply outrageous.

The chat channel was completely buzzing with excitement among the players.

[Horizontal, vertical, left-falling, right-falling strokes]: Damn, this game is too hard. Who would have thought that the water level would suddenly rise several meters in the next few days? I almost died in there.

[Not good at it and doesn't like playing]: The key question is, who would have thought that the flood control dike could be breached? What kind of shoddy construction is this?

[Princess Arrives]: I basically got carried to victory this round. I started on the beach in Anrong City, next to a cruise ship. Later in the game, a bunch of us spent time on the cruise ship with the big shot, eating and drinking to our hearts' content – ​​it couldn't be more fun.

[I'm the best in the world]: I envy the person upstairs. I had a terrible start this time, and then I got infected with a disease that made my whole body ulcerated. If the game had ended two days later, I probably wouldn't have survived.

[I love both Ningning and Nana]: Hehe, I guess I won this game by following the pros. There's a mountain right next to the Anrong City Hydropower Station, so we took food and climbed straight to the top and survived.

[Game Wanderer]: What?! There are mountains?! How come I didn't know that?! Are we playing the same game?!

[Time is like a mirage]: There really are mountains; I saw them on the map. It's just that it takes at least a day to get there from here. Later, due to various delays, I ended up stuck halfway there.

[Bluebird]: Everyone, check the forum! A pro has shared their walkthrough experience – link.

Upon seeing this, Shi Jinwei didn't hesitate and clicked on it directly. Sure enough, it was a sharing post.

Based on experience, this person is definitely a big shot.

I started with 1000 yuan, bought 30 days' worth of food and water, and even used the rest to buy camping gear like a tent.

Next, one of them carried his belongings and hid in the mountains, living the life of a savage.

At first, he found a cave to live in and used the survival tools he bought to hunt a lot of wild game, and he lived a pretty comfortable life.

After the torrential rain, although there was some water accumulation in the mountains, the altitude was so great that it was nothing compared to the floodwaters.

He had also considered the possibility of landslides and mudslides, so he set up a tent on the mountaintop and began a life of "watching the mountains and listening to the rain".

Although he encountered some ferocious beasts along the way, he was also a skilled martial artist.

What is frightening to others is an improvement to his life.

……

This post left Shi Jinwei stunned, and she also began to wonder if she and the big shot were playing the same game.

Although I later entered a safe house and lived quite comfortably, the things I encountered in the early stages were truly a matter of "survival."

There is also a post about "[How to calculate points in the game]".

The first instance was based on ranking, but this time there is no ranking, and the system has not released any specific details.

The general consensus was that the players' performance included: survival skills, ability to stay alive, and interactions with other NPC players.

Further exploration is needed to determine the specifics; the summary here is merely a guess and a rough estimate.

In comparison, she still lacks a lot of knowledge.

The ability to adapt in games also needs to be improved.

With that in mind, she stopped paying attention to the chat channels and forums and instead checked out the four newly added sections.

They were all on the third page of the monitor, the four sections divided into four small squares, neatly filling one page.

The first area is the entertainment area, which is divided into a video game area and other areas.

The video game section features all the video games on Earth, which players need to purchase with points to play.

Other sections include categories such as game consoles and casinos.

Even the gambling slot machines are neatly arranged, and you can play them by spending points.

The second is the library, which contains various books from Earth. Each entry earns one point, and there is no time limit for use.

The third is the training room, which also contains quite a lot of equipment.

From firearms training and combat training to cooking training, you can find almost anything you can think of here.

Most courses are divided into three levels: "beginner", "intermediate" and "advanced".

Shi Jinwei even saw "Nine-Year Compulsory Education Training" here, which was probably specially prepared for the children who entered the game.

The last one is the Arena, which has a "Single Challenge Mode" and a "Random Match Mode".

The individual challenge mode is a practice mode against a virtual AI.

The random matchmaking mode allows you to play against other players who are also playing in the same mode.

One person contributes one point, the winner receives two points, and the loser receives no reward.

After browsing the new content, Shi Jinwei didn't rush to exit, but instead opened the leaderboard.

This is quite similar to the leaderboard in the Blue Star game; it's called the "Points Leaderboard."

Shi Jinwei currently has 155 points remaining, ranking 29264, which is quite high.

But her purpose wasn't to check her own ranking; she wanted to know how many points the top-ranked players had.

First place: Sibo. Points: 550.

Second place: Han Wenyu. Points: 520.

Third place: Feng Xiaoyu. Points: 400.

Fourth place: Gu Lexuan. Points: 370.

Fifth place: Ji Chen. Points: 360.

……

The scores of the first and second place were very close, while the second and third place were more than 100 points apart, which is a considerable gap.

Thinking of the forum post, Shi Jinwei specifically looked up the poster's ranking. The person was around 150th place with 210 points.

Although Shi Jinwei was only 60 points behind others, her ranking was more than 20,000 points behind, which shows that many players' scores were actually not that different.

Having obtained the information she wanted, she now prepared to upgrade her skills.

To upgrade from level 1 to level 2, 50 points are required. Without hesitation, she clicked the upgrade button.

Skill: Space (Uniqueness).

Skill rarity: S-rank.

Skill Description: Active skill (upgradeable).

Having this skill will give you a portable storage space, an essential item in survival games.

After the instance ends, the resources in the current instance will be automatically recycled.

Skill level: 2.

Upgrade points: 100.

Space size: 3.4 cubic meters.

(1.5 * 1.5 * 1.5 = 3.375, rounded to 3.4. From now on, non-integer numbers will be rounded to one digit. I won't explain it again.)

The space suddenly became much larger, and it could hold much more things.

Remembering what the system had just said about "game items successfully recycled," Shi Jinwei opened her survival kit again and found that the pulley and lifeline she had used before had returned to her survival kit.

She ate one pack of the box of instant noodles she bought, and there was no change in her condition.

Everything before her eyes gave Shi Jinwei a new understanding of props.

Consumable items, such as food, water, and medicine, are truly gone once consumed in the game.

However, if it's another item, such as a survival rope, it can be reused after being recycled, so the system will recycle it for you, which is a way of saving players money.

After upgrading her space, she still had 105 points left and planned to check out the weapons.

First, firearms. Without hesitation, she spent 80 points to buy the cheapest handgun.

The pistol comes with 20 rounds of ammunition. Further ammunition must be purchased separately if you wish to continue using it. 1 point equals 10 rounds.

Shi Jinwei didn't hesitate and spent 3 points to buy 30 shots.

With 22 points remaining, she planned to buy another cold weapon.

She originally preferred the Tang sword.

But when she thought about how the people in the game chopped down doors with axes, she realized that it wouldn't be bad to actually take an axe herself.

Although the "Axe Gang" is no longer popular.

But it has many functions. This entrenching axe in the store can not only be used as an axe, but also has a built-in fish scale knife and a fire starter.

In terms of damage, the two weapons are about the same.

Functionally speaking, the entrenching axe is far superior.

Finally, in terms of points, the Tang sword requires 20 points and the entrenching axe requires 18 points, making them equally superior.

In the end, she simply bought an entrenching tool.

With 4 points left, Shi Jinwei thought for a moment and then spent two more points to buy a bed.

When the 1.8*2 meter princess bed appeared directly in the space, the entire space felt much cramped.

However, she was alone in the space, so she didn't feel like she was taking up too much room and went to sleep as soon as she lay down.

She only has three days of rest time, and all she wants to do now is get some rest.
