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

After congratulating each other, the group couldn't wait to check their rewards.

The combined rewards from the two leaderboards include one special treasure chest, 15 regular treasure chests, 1500 game coins, 3 food blind boxes, 1 puppet talisman, and 100 ice dew grass.

[Puppet Talisman: Using this talisman summons a puppet substitute that inherits 30%-80% of the user's attributes. The puppet lasts 15-30 seconds, automatically attacks enemies, and can self-destruct. The explosion damage is twice that of the user. This is a one-time consumable item and is destroyed after use. Using this item will deduct 10 points of the player's Spirit.]

Jin Xiaoman opened the regular treasure chest first.

[Treasure Chest Opening: Purification Heart*4, Blind Box Potion*1, Backpack Expansion Stone*1, Night Vision Goggles*1, Vajra Talisman*2, Immobilization Talisman*1, Hemostatic Bandage*2, Game Coins*30, Sun Hat*1, Luxury Spicy Hot Pot*1, Boneless Fried Chicken*1, Deluxe Sushi*1, Cucumber*2, Lettuce*4, Shower Gel*1, Packed Instant Noodles*5, Chocolate*5, Yogurt*2, Spicy Strips*1, Grilled Sausage*2, Cantaloupe Flavored Ice Cream*5, Tofu*10, Rice*1, Bread*17, Steamed Buns*20, 500ml Mineral Water*30.]

[Diamond Talisman: After use, it will form a light golden, semi-transparent energy shield around the player, lasting for 5 minutes and able to withstand 100 points of damage. It is a one-time consumable item and will be destroyed after use. It will deduct 10 points of the player's Spirit Points after use.]

[Immobilization Charm: When applied to a target, the target will be completely immobilized for 30 seconds, unable to attack, move, or make sounds. This is a one-time consumable item and will be destroyed after use. Using this item will deduct 10 points of the player's Spirit.]

During the rainy season, the probability of getting water from treasure chests was about two bottles of water out of three treasure chests; now it's two bottles of water out of one treasure chest.

It's clear that the game developers are intentionally catering to the players.

The three food blind boxes yielded spicy boiled fish, a barbecue set meal, and a seafood feast platter, respectively.

Jin Xiaoman picked out a little of each for the squirrel to try.

The squirrel especially loves boiled fish. Even though it's so spicy it's about to roll its eyes back, it stubbornly continues to hold onto its yogurt.

Jin Xiaoman laughed for a while before remembering to open the special treasure chest.

[Treasure Chest Opening: Water Maker*1, Specified Potions*3, Island Search Card*1, Planting Box*1, Hemostatic Bandage*3, Wound Healing Medicine*1, Basic Mental Health Recovery Potion*2, Long-Tasseled Spear Upgrade Spear Technique*1.]

[Water Maker: Add one Ice Dew Grass plant to obtain 300ml of radiation-free drinking water.]

[Island Search Card: After use, the card will automatically search for and approach the nearest island. Players can then log in to other islands once they are adjacent. This is a one-time consumable item that is destroyed after use. Using this card will deduct 10 points of the player's sanity.]

[Upgraded Long-Tassel Spear Technique: The combos have been updated based on the original. Reaching 100% proficiency will increase your Strength by one point.]

"It seems the wealth rankings will definitely reveal one of the blueprints for the next essential item for a natural disaster."

Jin Xiaoman used 100 Ice Dew Grass plants to make 30L of drinking water and sent it to her mother: "I have water here, but no container. Considering the upcoming drought, I'll give you 1 game coin or two Ice Dew Grass plants for 300ml."

I'm used to Jin Xiaoman always managing to procure scarce resources with my punch that can deliver 300 tons of force: [Received.]

Jin Xiaoman sent five more planting boxes with radiation-free soil to the small group: "[The extras are fine, distribute them as you see fit. Add one Ice Dew Grass to the materials I sent to the group last time. Radiation levels don't matter.]"

The blueprint for treasure chest number 2775 this time is a sniper rifle. Although she doesn't need it, Jin Xiaoman still bought one.

The public chat channel expressed great satisfaction with the items launched by "Old Lady's Punch Takes 300 Tons".

Seeing that they sell water makes me feel relieved.

[Knowing it's the dry season, why are they selling it at such a high price? What are they up to?]

[You're so funny. You think you're on Earth, able to buy whatever you want.]

[Exactly, if you think it's too expensive, you don't have to buy it. Why say it out loud? Does it make you look poor?]

.........

In a small group.

The Great Horned Buffalo puffed out its chest and charged forward: [Report: No blue autumn detected.]

Number 2775: [Further Exploration.]

Bighorn Bull puffed out its chest and charged forward: "Brother, I'm so sleepy, when can we go to sleep?"

"My punch weighs 300 tons": [Let's wait for the surprise the game's 'awareness' mentioned.]

The bighorn bull puffed out its chest and charged forward: "What on earth is this surprise? It's already 12:15, and it still hasn't appeared."

I bet it's something good. Maybe after tonight, we'll all be heading back to Earth.

Loves wearing princess dresses: [Do you guys sense something's off?]

The bighorn bull puffed out its chest and charged forward: "No, I just feel like something's wrong with your head."

Loves wearing princess dresses: 【Ugh, what the hell is that?!】

These words acted like a switch, and the squirrel that had been quietly staying to one side suddenly bristled, looking warily in one direction, and occasionally making "woof woof" warning noises.

Jin Xiaoman quickly hugged the squirrel to comfort it. At this moment, she also noticed something unusual: the water in the glass on the table was rippling without any external interference.

Jin Xiaoman got up, put on her night vision goggles, and opened the window to look outside.

In the forest, two unidentified creatures, each the size of a small mountain, were running at full speed. They crashed into trees and knocked away mutated beasts that had no time to dodge, heading straight for the safe house.

"Is this what people who love wearing princess dresses see?"

As the distance closed, the vibrations from the "small mountain" became noticeably stronger, causing the water glass to spin and bounce on the table before finally falling to the ground.

"Bang--"

As "Xiaoshan" crashed into the protective shield of the safe house, Jin Xiaoman also saw information about "Xiaoshan" in front of her.

[Name: Giant Rock Turtle]

Strength: 10

Agility: 10

Defense Value: 9999+

[Danger Level: One Star]

"Defense value 9999+?"

After seeing the Giant Rock Turtle's defense value, Jin Xiaoman silently withdrew a Fireball skill card.

She stroked the squirrel's tail: "Mr. Squirrel, if it just stands there and lets me hit it, do I have a chance of winning?"

The squirrel remained tense.

Jin Xiaoman hadn't actually intended to bring the squirrel along, but the squirrel clung tightly to her sleeve and refused to let go no matter what.

The giant rock turtle began to ram the safe house again and again, but the truly terrifying thing was just beginning.

The giant rock tortoise was followed by a large group of rats, the same ones Jin Xiaoman had seen when she last tried to go out at night.

Without hesitation, she threw out a lightning strike talisman.

The rats weren't as difficult to fight as the giant rock tortoise; a single lightning strike talisman felled a whole bunch of them.

However, this was only one area; countless rats were still swarming towards the safe house in the forest.

A pair of dark red eyes gleamed with ferocity and murderous intent, sending chills down one's spine.

Is this what the game's concept refers to as "surprise"?
