Before agreeing to bind the system and travel across the stars, Qi Guang was eaten by a group of zombies for two full days.
Losing limbs and being eaten by zombies is not a rare thing in the apocalypse. When Qi Guang heard the cold voice of the system, he thought it was an illusion that he was about to die.
Qi Guang was in so much pain that he was blurred in consciousness and couldn't understand what was going on.
Anyway, as long as he can survive, everything is fine.
Even if he had to take out a huge loan to repair his body that was bitten to pieces by zombies, and he had to buy a damn basic physical fitness upgrade package to balance the infected zombie virus, his debt was so great that one would give up counting the zeros at the end at a glance.
Qi Guang wanted to survive.
I want to be free from this endless pain of being eaten.
Be it hallucinations before death or supernatural phenomena, anything is better than being eaten by zombies for two days and not being able to die, lingering on like a piece of rotten meat.
Qi Guang agreed to all the conditions of the system without blinking an eye - his eyeballs were dug out and eaten by zombies yesterday - and thus he got a chance to survive.
Before he opened his eyes again, Qi Guang knew that he had grabbed the life-saving spider silk.
The wind blowing in my face carries the scent of grass and trees, and the sounds of cicadas and birds are in my ears.
He opened his eyes, and the long-lost colors and light flooded in.
The lush green and the water vapor reflected colorful colors, making my eyes sore as if tears were about to flow.
Qi Guang looked at the ancient trees and waist-high weeds around him, then looked down at his own predicament of being naked, and let out a sigh as if with regret.
He is alive.
After being thrown into the area with the densest concentration of zombies for a week while being seriously injured, he was still breathing well and alive without any injury.
Bending down and covering his mouth, Qi Guang tried his best to raise the corners of his mouth - he should be laughing, he should be ecstatic, he should...
His laughter was intermittent and dry, so much so that even the system that had just bound him was a little confused.
The system originally wanted to explain to Qi Guang why the promised interstellar future now looked like a desolate wilderness. It gave a long speech and mentioned all the golden fingers it could provide, but Qi Guang only listened and did not hear anything. He seemed extremely tired and had little interest in the electronic sound of the system that sounded from the depths of his consciousness.
He knew that his current condition was not quite right. It was probably because he had been gnawed by zombies for two days, which probably damaged something in his body.
Qi Guang thought indifferently and looked around - compared to such unimportant things, staying alive is more important.
He was in a forest.
It was a dense primeval forest that blocked out the sun. Standing here, he could hear the birds singing, the animals roaring, and the insects chirping everywhere.
Let me emphasize again his state at that moment - naked, upright and honest, thirsty, hungry and almost exhausted.
If this were a game, it would definitely not be a happy start.
The only lucky thing in this bad start is the season. It should be summer, or this forest is located in the tropics, Qi Guang can still feel the rolling heat waves under the shade of the trees, and he doesn't have to worry about catching a cold without wearing clothes.
However, Qi Guang also knew that this was only luck for the moment.
From a long-term perspective, the hot climate means sweating, dehydration, and mosquito-borne diseases. Once he cannot find water to replenish water in time, or is unlucky enough to be bitten and infected by mosquitoes, death will be imminent.
Qi Guang thought about it and glanced at the clock on the system interface (he personally thought this was the most useful function of the system at present). It was already dusk, and even though the days were long in summer, there was not much time left before dark.
It was already dusk in the wilderness. Instead of listening to the system's nonsense, I might as well think about how to spend the long night of the first night.
Believe him, camping in the wild without any preparation is definitely not a pleasant experience, especially in such an unfamiliar primeval forest.
He had to build himself a shelter for the night as soon as possible so that he could spend the night safely and conserve as much energy as possible.
Qi Guang spent some time observing the environment and thinking about what kind of shelter he wanted to build - the materials had to be simple and easy to obtain, the construction had to be convenient and labor-saving, it would be best if the project did not exceed an hour and a half, and it could also provide shelter from the wind and rain and keep warm.
Of course it would be even better if you can take advantage of the terrain.
Qi Guang thought about it, and his sight fell on a tree a few hundred meters away. The trunk was thick, about 50 to 60 centimeters in diameter, and it was not known whether it was due to lightning or some other reason, but it fell to the ground halfway.
He could clearly see that the tree had no signs of being infested by insects and had no beehives or ant nests. Although it was a little shorter than his ideal height, it was still suitable as a temporary shelter for one night's sleep as time was tight.
Speaking of which…
When did his eyesight become so good
Qi Guang blinked, and his eyes, which were originally slightly myopic, could now clearly see the grass and trees hundreds of meters away. Just like he was walking barefoot on the ground, but he did not feel the pain of being stabbed by the broken branches.
The system that Qi Guang had unilaterally blocked finally found an opportunity to show its presence and gave him the correct answer -
The basic physical fitness upgrade package that added another zero to his debt.
It comprehensively improved his physical strength, five senses and other physical qualities, while also enhancing his immunity and resistance, and was worthy of the price that was so high that it was impossible to count the zeros.
The system was still waiting for Qi Guang to ask a few more details, wanting to demonstrate its superior performance, but Qi Guang was ruthless after getting the answer, and simply rolled up (not really) his sleeves and invested in building the shelter without wasting any time.
Time is running out, so the system's troubles can be discussed later.
Qi Guang wanted to build a hut in the style of an inverted tree, adapting to local conditions and using local materials to save time and precious physical energy.
The process of building a shed is not complicated, the most important task is cleaning.
He picked up a branch and carefully poked the ground where the fallen tree touched. Sweeping the fallen leaves and mud in the gaps was just his personal need for cleanliness. The key point was to scare away the insects and ants hiding inside and make sure that he didn't build his shelter at the exit of a snake or rat's burrow.
After cleaning the gap, Qi Guang then cleared a rectangular space about two meters long along the trunk and about sixty to seventy centimeters wide. He also carefully swept away the fallen leaves and branches on the ground, drove away insects and ants, and poked around everywhere to avoid sleeping at the doorstep of any small animal.
Then he collected branches of suitable length and were relatively straight. Qi Guang placed the branches close together against the trunk and covered them with leaves and lichens, so that the branches and the trunk formed a triangular space for a person to lie down.
If he was just sleeping, it would be barely comfy and even difficult to turn over in a shelter of this size, but he could already feel the coolness in the wind. The temperature would drop even lower after nightfall, and a shelter that was close to his own size could effectively prevent the body temperature from losing too quickly.
The next step is to cover the ground with a thick layer of dead grass and vines to prevent the soil from cooling down and becoming damp after nightfall.
The physical fitness upgrade greatly improved Qi Guang's efficiency, and he completed the construction of the shelter earlier than expected. In the last time before dark, he used the vines he found to weave a small basket that could be tied around his waist, so that if he found anything useful tomorrow, he could carry it with him.
Thanks to the end of the world, he was taught a lot of little skills.
The night in the forest comes earlier. Qi Guang rushed into the shelter with the woven basket before the last ray of light disappeared. A few minutes later, there was only darkness as far as he could see.
He was not completely insensitive in the darkness. After his eyes adjusted to the environment, he could vaguely see the outlines of some objects. Various smells became more obvious because he could not see anything. The most noisy thing was the buzzing of mosquitoes. Even though he would not be bitten by mosquitoes after his physical strength was strengthened, he began to itch all over with the sound.
Qi Guang knew that it would be best to get some sleep to restore his energy, but after surviving the disaster and traveling through time, the story developed too fast for his body to keep up, and there was still phantom pain that prevented him from falling asleep.
All he could do was endure the pain and think of other things to distract himself.
For example, since I have nothing to do now, I can study his only golden finger.
Qi Guang opened the system interface, first took out the system message that he had just read and closed, and read it again, extracting the key points one, two, and three - the system also has a notepad function, which can be used for him to take notes.
This should be the second most useful function of the system besides the clock.
Qi Guang covered his rumbling stomach and typed on the light screen that emitted a milky white glow:
1. The only universal currency in the system is points. Points are earned by continuously live streaming to increase popularity, and there are multiple channels for earning points.
2. Most functions require accumulating a certain amount of points before they can be enabled. Currently, the only function that is available is [Start Live Broadcast].
3. Due to personal loan debt, you must pay off the points limit stipulated by the system every month (increasing monthly), and the remaining limit can be used at your own will.
…
Qi Guang wrote down the entire page one by one, paused for a moment, and then wrote the last line:
I am on Earth.
This is the last and most important point.
The system's crossing is a point-to-point operation, which means that before Qi Guang crossed over, he was at the gate of S University in the port area of Shen City, China on Earth. After crossing over, he was still at the same place with the same longitude and latitude on the same planet.
It's just that hundreds or thousands of years have passed.
It sounds like there is no problem, if the Earth has not become a barren planet certified by the system as having no intelligent life.
However, the fact is that those steel forests have now been covered by endless green oceans, and the world has changed so much that it seems as if humans have never existed on this planet.
So the promised interstellar future turned into survival in the wilderness.
But the system did not lie to him. Now is indeed the interstellar era when humans step onto the cosmic stage and conquer the sea of stars.
Countless light years away from Earth.
Qi Guang carefully turned over in the not-so-reliable shelter and clicked on the only lit button in the system interface, [Start Live Broadcast].
It is said (the system) that his live broadcast will be logged into the largest live broadcast platform in the galaxy, with high-definition picture quality and smooth network speed without any lag, and the signal covers the entire galaxy.
What appeared in front of Qi Guang was the same pitch black darkness as the surroundings.
If it weren't for the faint light of the screen and the small flashing words in the four corners, he wouldn't be able to find where the live broadcast screen was.
In such darkness, a line of bold and highlighted words floated by.
System prompt: The ambient light is weak, it is recommended to purchase the product: night vision lens. Click to enter the system mall to purchase.
Qi Guang looked at the points of his debt status and chose to pretend not to see it, focusing his attention on the live broadcast interface.
Fortunately, the system understood the importance of proficient language, and translated the text on the live broadcast interface for Qi Guang for free, saving Qi Guang from the embarrassing situation of being blind to the unfamiliar interstellar language - the number of viewers is in the upper right corner of the interface, the gift list is in the lower left corner, and the setting button in the lower right corner can be used to set room announcements, barrage switches, camera angles, etc. It is very user-friendly for a live broadcast novice like him.
Qi Guang opened all the functions of the live broadcast interface to familiarize himself with them. He changed his anchor name to Yuying, his fixed alias before the end of the world, and changed the room name to Earth in Distress. Since he didn't have points to buy night vision lenses and no viewers came in, he turned off the live broadcast, thinking about more urgent and practical problems from the negative asset of not being able to afford night vision lenses.
- His debt repayment problem this month.
In order to survive, he borrowed a large amount of money from the system and had to repay the system's debt every month. The system adhered to the principle of sustainable development, and the repayment requirement for the first month was not too high, only 100 points. That is to say, after 30 days, the system will automatically deduct 100 points from Qi Guang's account, and he can freely use the remaining points (if any).
This is not difficult. As a novice anchor's novice benefit, Qi Guang has one, two, three or four novice tasks to complete, such as the first live broadcast for five minutes, the first time with more than ten viewers, the first fan, the first gift reward received, etc. If you work diligently, you can get about □□10 points.
The remaining ten or twenty points are calculated at one point for every ten hours of live broadcast. If he works hard, he can make up the points by live broadcasting longer.
Ignoring the fact that he would get one thousand points next month, two thousand points the month after that, and four thousand points the month after that, and so on, and so on, until he paid off his debt in two or three years, the rules were pretty lenient and friendly.
"What happens if the points for this month are not enough to repay the loan?" Considering his repayment ability, Qi Guang prepared for a rainy day.
The system answered immediately: [If the points paid off in a single month are less than 50% of the requirement, all the host's points exchange assets will be frozen for one month; if the points paid off in three cumulative months are less than 80% of the requirement, all the host's points exchange assets will be permanently recovered.]
[Note: Points redeemable assets include body repair items and physical fitness upgrade items.]
"..." Qi Guang sorted out his own logic, "What does freezing assets mean?"
The system patiently explained: [It is to restore the host to its original state.]
Qi Guang understood immediately: "That means you will die."
The last breath he had before the binding could not last more than half a second. Once his assets were frozen and he could not repair his body, he would definitely die.
So Qi Guang wrote down a small goal in his notebook.
Earn a hundred points from him first.
