Survival for all, my island is the last pure land on earth.

The tunnel is better lit than the mine because of the gemstones inside.

Jin Xiaoman ran several hundred meters inward at top speed.

Squirrel: "Manman, stop, this is it."

Jin Xiaoman took out a pickaxe that had appeared in her backpack since she entered the game.

[C-level item: Cheap pickaxe]

It is your only good companion in the mine; without it, you will find it impossible to move an inch.

Durable (10/10)]

Jin Xiaoman and the squirrel exchanged glances: "Does this 10/10 mean the pickaxe can only be used ten times?"

As it turns out, it was both yes and no.

Jin Xiaoman scratched it five times, and the durability became (9/10).

Fortunately, the stone walls inside the tunnel were not solid; they crumbled like a shoddy construction project with just a light touch of a pickaxe.

The gemstone, along with some rubble, fell to Jin Xiaoman's feet.

Seeing this, Chi Mian chuckled. If this piece of junk could so easily pry gems off the stone wall, I must be even more capable.

If I can get enough gems for the Mandarin, he might forgive my previous recklessness.

Taking advantage of Jin Xiaoman's inattention, it bumped into her head and then returned, dazed.

It's so hard! What kind of material is this? Why can't I drill through it?

Why do I feel a little sleepy?

Jin Xiaoman was excitedly digging for gems in the pile of rubble, completely unaware that the crimson crown on her wrist had made her dizzy.

[Ding! Congratulations, player, you have received 1 gems!]

[Ding! Congratulations, player, you have received 1 gems!]

......

The system's announcement kept echoing in Jin Xiaoman's ears.

She counted them and found that there were about twenty gems after the five pickaxes.

It seems that this item is not difficult to obtain.

The only problem that could be called troublesome was the pickaxe.

Jin Xiaoman recalled the gem merchant's stall, where they sold C-grade pickaxes for 50 gems, a reasonable price.

After kicking away the rubble under his feet, Jin Xiaoman raised his pickaxe and began digging into the rock face again.

Squirrel: "Manman, adjust the direction to the left."

"Keep moving forward."

Jin Xiaoman followed the squirrel's commands and kept adjusting her direction.

There are many gems and stone chips scattered on the ground, and the pickaxe's durability has reached (5/10).

With another swing of Jin Xiaoman's pickaxe, a treasure chest appeared in front of him.

[Ding! Congratulations to player "Full of Money" for obtaining Karl's Treasure Chest. This is Karl's stockpile of goods from the past year. Obtaining it will bring you unimaginable wealth, but at the same time, you will be hunted down by Karl.]

Jin Xiaoman's attention was drawn to the words "a large sum of money," and she completely ignored the additional condition that she would be hunted down later.

[Ding! Congratulations, player, you have received 10000 gems!]

[Ding! Congratulations, player, you have obtained an A-grade item with abundant gold. Tracing back to the source.]

[Rank A Item: Tracing the Origin]

The Trace to the Origin contains the coordinates of all locations in the dungeon game. Players can use the Trace to the Origin to teleport to any location regardless of any conditions or restrictions. It is a consumable item.

The item can be used a total of three times, and currently has three uses remaining.

Each use will deduct 10 points from the player's Spirit Points.

Jin Xiaoman and the squirrel's eyes lit up, and they jumped around excitedly like two monkeys.

For Jin Xiaoman at this moment, the greatest function of "Tracing the Origin" is not its three teleportations, but the coordinates of all locations in the dungeon game that it records.

[Ding! Congratulations to player who has received ??? Cultivation Technique Fragment *1, currently (9/10).]

[Ding! Congratulations to player "Full of Money" for obtaining the S-rank skill: "Living Towards Death".]

[S-Rank Technique: Living Towards Death]

When a player's defense value drops to 10%, the defense value will be instantly restored to full, and the player will gain three seconds of invincibility.

Cooldown time: 1 hour.

Learning method: Direct reading, reading time is approximately two hours.

[Ding! Congratulations, player "Full of Money" has obtained 1 A-grade item, Disguise Card.]

[Disguise Card: Allows you to disguise yourself as any character in the game instance for a limited time of three minutes. Can only be used within game instances.]

[Ding! Congratulations to player "Full of Money" for obtaining the A-grade item, Iron Pickaxe. This is a treasure that Karl has been collecting for a long time. Durability (98/100).]

[Ding! Congratulations, player "Full of Money" has obtained 9999+ of Karl's Hatred Points. You will be hunted by Karl throughout the entire game. Even if you die thousands of times, you will not be able to reconcile unless you return everything in the treasure chest to Karl tenfold.]

That means there's absolutely no chance of reconciliation.

The squirrel jumped up nervously: "Manman, run!"

Jin Xiaoman instinctively grabbed her things, even sweeping away the pebbles at her feet, and disappeared into the tunnel with a series of invisible steps. A stone grazed the back of her head and hit the stone wall.

A second later, a huge, muscular man smashed through the stone wall with his fist and walked out.

He stared at the empty space where the treasure chest should have been, and angrily pounded his chest: "Damn it, so much money! Damn it, so much money!"

"When I find you, I will tear you to pieces!"

His roar reached Jin Xiaoman's ears without missing a single word.

Jin Xiaoman, carrying the squirrel, found a small hole that could barely accommodate her and hid there. She then clicked to read "Living Towards Death".

The interface displays a countdown of 01:59:59.

The personal panel underwent two updates upon entering the game.

One is the real-time updated Sky Eye, which is divided into individual player leaderboards and regional leaderboards.

Jin Xiaoman's name is now ranked first on the individual player leaderboard, with a difference of more than nine thousand gems between him and the second-ranked player.

Jin Xiaoman was panting from exhaustion. She lowered her voice and said, "It's over, Rat Master. We've only been here for less than half an hour. How did we get to this point?"

His tone was filled with excitement, agitation, and nervousness, but there was not a trace of regret.

Chi Mian slowly woke up: "My lord is amazing! You're number one in everything you do, including attracting hatred points!"

Jin Xiaoman: "..."
