That's amazing survival skills!

[Skill - Lightning Steps (Quality Yellow)]

[Effect: Increases speed by 10% for 5 minutes after activation; 8-minute cooldown]

The four of them couldn't help but click their tongues in amazement at the effect.

"You can choose for yourselves." Lin Yuan tossed the skill stones directly to them. "If you want to upgrade, use the quality upgrade card."

"You don't want this?" Gu Siyu weighed the skill stone in her hand.

"don't want."

After some friendly discussion, the "Swift as the Wind" item ended up in Wang Xi's hands.

There is no other reason.

Wang Xi has mastered the fine repeating crossbow; with this skill, such a weapon can reach its maximum value.

Rather than producing scattered bits and pieces, it would be better to cultivate a second person who can fight.

The high mortality rate of Wang San and Zhang Wen's teams had a significant impact on them.

"Now you're practically second-in-command." Lin Yuan lay on her bed, turning her head to look at Wang Xi. "How did they manage to give you those two things?"

"I remember that there used to be three women, and they could have more than a dozen groups."

Wang Xi rolled her eyes. "Because I need to gather more supplies. Only by staying alive can I play the most important role."

"Oh." Lin Yuan immediately felt that it didn't mean much.

These two women were surprisingly calm; it would be difficult to witness them tearing each other apart.

"sleep."

【奖励：品质升级卡×2、物品升级卡×1、麵包×2、水×3、地图碎片×1、可自由分配属性点×30、土壤製造图纸×1，玉米种子×3】

Lin Yuan, who had been keeping his eyes closed, suddenly opened them upon hearing the news of the settlement.

However, after glancing at his reward, he couldn't help but smile silently.

When her gaze fell on the ratings, her smile froze on her face.

"No way? The reward hasn't changed, but the score has gone down." Lin Yuan stroked her chin, flipping through the previous records. "Could it be that we've entered a new stage?"

No one could give an answer, but Lin Yuan didn't take it to heart.

Close the panel.

Seeing that he had gained another forty attribute points to allocate, Lin Yuan stroked his chin.

Survival Points: 1

Lin Yuan looked at his various attributes and realized that he was among the best in the survival team. It was impossible for him not to be excited. In the end, he focused his attention on his level.

"One level away." Lin Yuan stroked his chin.

I'm quite curious about what kind of world it is after level 10.

Unfortunately, each Liang Jing puppet only gave him 1,000 experience points. He killed three of them and gained 3,000 experience points, but it was only then that he leveled up from level seven to level nine.

Raising your level is clearly not a simple task.

The key issue is that this panel doesn't show how long it will take to level up or the experience required!

"Sigh, I shouldn't have watched it."

Being one grade below left Lin Yuan feeling a bit uneasy, her mind racing with thoughts, and she couldn't fall asleep.

"Looks like I'm going to have another sleepless night."

When bored, he took out the Eye of Truth from his backpack and played with it in his hand.

"Tell me, what exactly are you?" The Eye of Truth flickered rapidly at his fingertips, and Lin Yuan stared at the flickering Eye of Truth.

Om~!

The Eye of Truth continued to flicker at his fingertips, faintly emitting a red glow, very faint, yet still dazzling in the dark subway environment.

Lin Yuan glanced at Wang Xi and found that she was sleeping soundly, breathing very evenly, and showed no signs of waking up.

The red light flashed continuously, sometimes strong and sometimes weak.

"What exactly are you?" Lin Yuan stared intently at the Eye of Truth at her fingertips.

This item fetches an extremely high price when recycled in the safe zone shops, and it's not listed in the sales section.

The red light remains.

Lin Yuan stared at it carefully and noticed that the red light was weakening.

After struggling for a long time, the red light finally dissipated.

[Hidden condition for subway upgrade detected: Liang Jing x20.]

? !

[Liang Jing: Can be obtained by smelting steel in a steel factory.]

"No way?" Lin Yuan sat up and looked out the car window.

The steel factory was pitch black at night, with most of the moonlight obscured by dark clouds. Only a few rays of moonlight shone through, and something could be vaguely seen wandering around the dust storm.

Lin Yuan rubbed her eyes and looked again, but the wandering things had disappeared again.

That's strange.

.....

"You scoundrel, the sun's already high in the sky!"

In a daze, Lin Yuan seemed to hear someone calling him. He smacked his lips, turned over and lay on his side, his eyes remaining closed for a long time.

Han Miao looked at his lazy sleeping posture, put her hands on her hips, and puffed out her cheeks in anger.

"Hey! You jerk! Wake up!"

Lin Yuan kept her eyes closed and did not respond.

Han Miao gritted his teeth and raised his hand to slap that buttock hard.

Snapped!

The next second, Han Miao pulled her hand back as if she had been electrocuted, tears welled up in her eyes, and she kept blowing on her palm.

"Is this bastard's ass made of iron? It's so hard!"

Lin Yuan vaguely felt a mosquito bite her butt, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Han Miao blowing air into her palm. She immediately understood.

"Aha."

Lin Yuan stood up and stretched. She didn't know when she fell asleep last night, but she felt extremely sleepy.

Lin Yuan stood up and stretched, her arm seemingly touching something soft with a slightly hard feel.

Snapped!

Lin Yuan felt a light pat on her arm and looked ahead in confusion.

Han Miao's chest heaved violently.

However, her face was so red it looked like it could drip water, and her palms were also bright red from slapping her so hard.

But why did Lin Yuan feel that she was gritting her teeth?

"You scumbag!"

Lin Yuan hadn't even reacted when Han Miao turned and walked away.

Wang Xi and Gu Siyu couldn't help but smile as they looked at the wrinkles in Han Miao's clothes around her lower abdomen, and handed her bread and water.

"I told you to let him sleep and not to disturb him, but you didn't believe me. Now you're paying the price." Gu Siyu smiled and gently ran the bread in her hand across her arm.

Seeing this, Han Miao's face turned even redder, even her ears turned bright red. She tore off a large piece of bread and put it in her mouth, biting into it fiercely.

When Lin Yuan and Han Miao's eyes met, Lin Yuan couldn't help but shudder and feel a chill in his groin.

"How are you?" Wang Xi asked with a smile, "Does your tummy hurt?"

"No...it doesn't hurt." Han Miao's voice was barely audible as she lowered her head again.

Wang Xi and Gu Siyu's teasing voices were very soft, but their expressions were extremely arrogant, especially their giggling laughter. Lin Yuan really couldn't pretend not to know.

I made do with a couple of simple bites of bread.

[Soil: Requires 100 units of wood, 20 units of compost, and 3 liters of water]

"Wood and water are easy to find; we have plenty of both," Lin Yuan said, clicking on the description of the compost. "This compost... it's a bit tricky."

【Rotten Soil: Can be obtained in swamps or muddy areas】

Hearing Lin Yuan muttering to himself, the three women were curious about what good things he had obtained this time, especially since they had never even heard of rotten soil before.
