Survival: Starting with a Tiny Treehouse

Chapter 25: The hidden meaning in the rules

Views:

Xu Xin listened to the mysterious voice carefully, more seriously than when he was playing in the promotion match.

When it comes to one's own life, who wouldn't care

When he heard that the last 50 people would be eliminated, Xu Xin's eyes twitched.

Seeing the cruel elimination at the end, he knew that this mysterious voice would definitely not be so kind. Even if it was a reward activity, 50 people would die in each area, and it was unknown how many people would encounter danger during the exploration.

Although 50 people are not a lot compared to the remaining 8,000 people in their area, accounting for only 0.6%, this is the first activity after the end of the novice protection period. Who knows how many so-called "activities" will be waiting for them in the future.

Xu Xin began to analyze the rules spoken by the mysterious voice.

Because of the position of the key, the three treasure chests must be opened in the order of copper treasure chest, silver treasure chest, and gold treasure chest in order to open all three treasure chests. Can the position of the treasure chest be moved? If so, put the treasure chest found first into the backpack, and this activity will be easier.

Will there be a beast guarding the treasure chest? The worst possible scenario is that there are beasts around the treasure chest that he cannot defeat at all.

Are there any conspicuous signs around the treasure chest? Xu Xin thinks there should be.

Three kilometers in radius is definitely not a small area. The urban area of a small city is about this size. If a carpet search is conducted in two days, even if Xu Xin has night vision and does not need to sleep at night, it is impossible to search such a large area just by walking.

If it were just based on luck, it would be boring.

While thinking, Li Wenxi sent him another video call and Xu Xin answered it.

The little beauty had a serious expression at this time, and she said directly: "I want to exchange green wood with you. I don't have much green wood here, and many tools have not been made yet."

Xu Xin also needed stones (green), so he naturally agreed, and the two parties quickly completed the transaction.

Li Wenxi on the opposite side suddenly laughed and said, "If I can survive this time, you have to let me see your little panda."

Xu Xin touched the little guy's head. He felt that he should help this rich woman whom he had just met for two days. Before he found the iron ore, this was his source of minerals. And he felt comfortable getting along with her.

He took out two oranges and placed them on the trading platform: "These two are for you. Watch the situation at night. If there is any danger, don't go out. If there is no danger, you can use this."

In fact, blue-grade fruits are far less precious than blue-grade mineral rocks and wood resources. One tree can bear hundreds of fruits, and the effect only lasts for a few hours at most. It cannot be compared with mineral wood resources that can directly enhance the function and efficiency of tools. It is probably the difference between potions and equipment of the same level.

Giving her two oranges was like an investment for Xu Xin.

The beautiful girl was about to refuse, but when she saw the effect of the orange, she was stunned. She closed her mouth which was already open to refuse Xu Xin, and obediently clicked the button to agree to the transaction.

"I... will compensate you after I finish this event!" Li Wenxi also knew that she had gotten a great deal. The function of this fruit was a perfect match with red berries. She could basically turn night into day. If she could make better use of the night time, the possibility of her becoming the final 50 would be greatly reduced.

"Oh, and you can collect some resources first and then look for treasure chests. The voice just said 'get the last 50 survivors with the most valuable resources'. It didn't say the resources in the treasure chest or limited resources. So even if you only get a blue resource, you won't be among the last 50. It's impossible that almost everyone can get blue supplies." Xu Xin told Li Wenxi what he was thinking.

After hearing what Xu Xin said, Li Wenxi's eyes gradually widened and he began to think: "What you said seems to make sense? Is that what the voice said? I don't remember it clearly..."

Li Wenxi had been feeling uneasy about being eliminated last, as she was very afraid that she wouldn't be able to find the treasure chest and would be the last one to be eliminated. But after hearing what Xu Xin said, if this was true, it seemed that she could rest assured about this event, at least she wouldn't have to worry about being the last one to be eliminated.

"That's what I said, but it's just a guess. As a safeguard, maybe the copper treasure chest is very easy to find, and the value of the resources inside is higher than the blue-grade resources? Finding the treasure chest is still the first priority."

Of course, this possibility is very small. Some people don’t even have green supplies. If the value of a copper treasure chest exceeds that of blue supplies, then the gold and silver treasure chests would be invincible.

So what he said to Li Wenxi was what he wanted to do. The oranges on the orange tree had not been picked yet, and there were at least seventy or eighty left. As long as he picked them all, there would be basically no chance that he would be eliminated last.

The beautiful girl across from me nodded. She felt as if she had found someone she could hold onto. “I’ll listen to you!”

"At 7pm, try to come back if you can to exchange information."

"Hehe, okay, just don't forget it!" Xu Xin's method made the little beautiful girl feel at ease, and a smile appeared on her face again.

After hanging up the video, Xu Xin took another look at the regional channel. It was obvious that the entire channel was in chaos.

"Oh my god! The last 50 will die!"

"Isn't this a reward activity? Why did someone die?!"

"No, I have to go down and find the treasure chest. Good luck to you guys!"

"Why! So many people died last night, and it's happening again today..."

"Can the treasure chest be traded? Whoever gets the treasure chest can trade it with me, and I'll give him all my belongings when I get back!"

"My father is XXX. If anyone can help me, I will reward him handsomely in the future!"

A group of men and women, no more than 30 years old, were completely panicked. The conversations on the entire regional channel were full of meaningless garbage, with no usable clues at all.

No one mentioned the method he mentioned in the regional channel. Ji Chaoyang, the big boss who often helped everyone in the regional channel before, did not show up at all. After all, if this method was made public, it would basically lose its effect. Everyone would do it, so what effect would it have

There will always be someone who will be the last 50, but no one wants to be the last one. When the last 50 are eliminated, the other weak ones may not feel sympathy, but relief.

Fortunately it wasn’t me.

This is the cruelty of the last-in-first-out system to the weak.

Xu Xin took his various tools, including stone axe, stone pickaxe and stone spear, put on his backpack and set off.

The first thing to do is what he said before, to pick those oranges first. No matter whether it is useful or not, at least it can make him feel more at ease.

After picking the oranges, Xu Xin threw one to Coco on his shoulder. Coco peeled the orange like a human and ate it with relish, with that intoxicated expression on her little face.

After picking the oranges, Xu Xin opened the map. He wanted to see where the red dots were around. If there were wild beasts guarding the treasure chest, then the red dots must be very close to the treasure chest.

However, to his disappointment, apart from the many red dots swimming in the center of the lake, there was not even a single red dot in his resource area, and more red dots were still concentrated in the area in the northwest direction.

It was a hilly area there, and he could see the rolling hills from his tree house, but it was very far away from his tree house, definitely more than three kilometers away, so the treasure chest must not be there.

"So, where exactly will it be?" Xu Xin pondered.

"Never mind, let's take action first. Maybe my ability to identify items can see it directly." Xu Xin was not in a hurry now. The orange tree was about one kilometer away from the tree house. He planned to go to the periphery of the three-kilometer radius to take a look.

The entire resource area is a small area with a diameter of two kilometers and a radius of one kilometer. Xu Xin’s tree house is located at the very edge of the resource area. In other words, the entire exploration range actually completely includes the resource area and also has a large part of the ordinary area.

“Let’s go to places we haven’t been to before.”
