Chapter III: Rewards
"Reward! What rewards? Yuanchen asked in surprise, and he knew that there must be a reward for the persistence on the cliff.
It would be nice to have a direct reward for leaving this hellish place, although the possibility is almost zero.
A roulette wheel appears out of nowhere, and 50 percent of the area is awarded 100 points, 30 percent is rewarded with a full tank of gas, and 20 percent is a peculiar dagger.
"Put your hands on the roulette wheel and finally stop where the pointer is to get what reward."
Since food and water need points in exchange, then they must be points, although other items look very good, but they are not practical for the current Yuanchen.
Without points, you can't redeem them for food and water, and sooner or later you'll starve or die of thirst in this desolate land.
Yuanchen hesitated for a moment, put his hand on the roulette, and after the roulette wheel turned up, he withdrew his hand, held his hands in front of his chest, closed his eyes and prayed silently.
"Congratulations......"
"Did you draw 100 points?" Yuanchen opened his eyes in surprise, and when he saw the hands on the roulette wheel, his smile stopped abruptly.
The pointer stopped at the least likely position, a peculiar dagger.
Yuanchen didn't know whether to cry or laugh, could it be that luck was wrong?
The mysterious voice said, "You are lucky that you were the first to draw a strange dagger. ”
Yuanchen's expression moved, and from the words of the mysterious voice, he revealed a piece of news, not only did he win the championship of the cliff pressure competition, which means that there have been many batches of people who have entered Sin City before, and there will be many batches in the future.
At this time, the roulette wheel in front of him disappeared, and a dagger appeared, which looked no different from an ordinary military dagger, and it didn't look peculiar, so why should it be called a peculiar dagger?
Holding the dagger in his hand, he asked, "Is there anything peculiar about this peculiar dagger?" ”
"I don't know!"
'Holy, you don't know?' It's too perfunctory, is this just an ordinary dagger? Blood loss! Yuan Chen let out a long howl of grief.
'No, I'll have to ask a few more questions, it's a shame. Yuanchen asked again: "When will the task of the system be released?" ”
"This is not a fundamental issue." The mysterious voice replied to Yuanchen in a toneless tone.
"In which direction can you get out of this desolate place quickly?" Food and water need to be exchanged for points, and food is impossible for a short time, but the voice said that there is water on land.
Water is the source of life, and normal people can only live for about 4 to 7 days without drinking water; If you have water to drink, you can live for more than 10 days even if you don't have food to eat, and if you have water, you can live even longer if you use turf and trees as food.
Therefore, you have to go to a place where there is water, so that you can hold on longer, wait for the opportunity to earn points, and have a better chance of surviving.
However, the answer of the mysterious voice made Yuanchen crazy.
"This is not a fundamental issue."
'Damn, it's not even a fundamental question of how to survive, so what is the fundamental question?' If that mysterious voice was a person standing in front of him, Yuanchen couldn't wait to go up and stab him a few times with the dagger in his hand.
"Excuse me......?" After thinking about it, he asked again, he had to know more rules of this world.
"It's not fundamental."
“.…..?”
"It's not fundamental."
……
……
"It's not fundamental."
Yuanchen was about to be driven crazy, and asked more than a dozen questions in a row, none of which were basic questions, and asked directly in anger: "Are you TMD stupid?" ”
"It's not fundamental."
The mysterious voice said again: "You have been detected to be abusive to the person who guided the guide, and this question and answer ends." ”
After speaking, the mysterious voice disappeared, and no matter how Yuanchen confessed, called, or insulted, he didn't appear.
After scolding for a few minutes, Yuanchen stopped, since it had no effect, it was useless to scold any longer, it would only waste his physical strength in vain and let his body's water lose faster.
After calming down, my stomach rumbled again, and hunger hit me for a while.
"Be obedient, I'll treat you well when I find food." Yuanchen rubbed his stomach with his hands and said to himself.
It seems that this does work, and the hunger is not so strong.
Looking up at the barren ground where there was no edge in sight, Yuanchen was in trouble again, which direction should he go, he couldn't go randomly.
Sooner or later, you will get lost in this desert and die of thirst or starvation.
Yuanchen thought that he had seen a science and education column before-Wilderness Survival, which contained a guide to desert survival, and Yuanchen could still roughly recall some content.
Although there is no North Star as a guide here, there is the red sun in the sky, and the shadow is used to judge the direction, and then go in a certain direction, so as not to get lost as you walk.
What is more pleasing is that the climate temperature here is not as high as the desert on the earth, the temperature here is more suitable, roughly feel, about 30 degrees, barely acceptable.
Yuan Chen saw a small mountain peak that was higher than the surrounding hundreds of meters away, and decided to climb to the top of the mountain, take a look at the surrounding terrain, and know what to face and how to face it.
With a dagger in hand, he walked towards the small peak.
Along the way, the ground is covered with dust and rocks, and occasionally a few stone crevices reveal a few lonely weeds, showing desolation.
I didn't even see the remains of beasts and insects, and it seems that if you want to get food, you can really only rely on points to redeem it.
Hmmm——!
When Yuanchen was climbing the small mountain, the ground was loose, and when he stepped on it, he collapsed with a little force.
"It's dangerous!" Yuanchen climbed his body against the peak, and lowered the center of gravity of his body as low as possible to avoid slipping under his feet and rolling down the mountain.
Finally, with a little effort, I climbed to the top of the hill.
However, the sight in front of him made his heart cold, and he still couldn't see the barren land on the side, and some places were still very steep, with ravines and ravines.
If the will is a little weak, seeing this scene, I am afraid that he will despair directly, but Yuanchen's will is very strong, after all, he is the one who can hold on to the end on the cliff, as long as he is alive, there is hope.
Yuanchen saw that there seemed to be a canyon in the distance and thought he would go there to take a look.
In the desert, it is not absolutely devoid of water, and it is still possible to find water in such canyons, low-lying shady places.
Now that he had decided, Yuanchen slid down the small mountain and headed towards the place that seemed to be a canyon.
The road from here to the canyon is destined to be steep, and it is necessary to find the right way forward, where there is no food to replenish physical energy, and every bit of physical strength is crucial.
Yuanchen walked along the relatively flat terrain, and when he met a mountain peak, he went around, although it took a lot more to go around like this, but compared to climbing over the peak, it would save a lot of physical strength.
I don't know how long I walked, there is no concept of time here, and the red sun still hangs above the blood-red sky.
The temperature of 30 degrees, coupled with physical exercise, excretes a lot of sweat in the body, and the skin of the mouth is dry.
What made Yuanchen feel strange was that the dagger actually kept twenty degrees cold under a temperature of thirty degrees, could this be its peculiarity?
Yuanchen didn't bother to think about why it kept cold, it could also be said that thinking was very energy-consuming, and his body had no extra energy for him to think.
Stick a cold dagger against your body to bring a little coolness to yourself.
The body sweats a lot, and walking in this kind of rocky wasteland at the same time consumes a lot of energy in the body.
In the case of extreme hunger and lack of water, the body's functions will decline sharply, and various body tissues and cells will enter a semi-dormant state.
I don't know how much time has passed, Yuanchen's lips are dry and cracked, and his mind has become a little trance.
He craved a sweet drink, even if it was a glass of cold water.
He desperately craves delicious food, even if it's just a cold noodle steamed bun.
It's a pity that there is nothing, a glass of water and a steamed bun are a luxury for him now.
Yuanchen felt that he was even worse than the beggars he looked down on in the original world.
Those beggars can go and beg and pick up food that others have discarded to eat.
As for himself, he could only reach out and pick up a handful of scarce weeds that grew from the cracks in the stones, throw them into his mouth, and imagine that he was chewing delicious food.
However, the weeds that grow in the desert are basically dry and hard, with almost no water, as if chewing on a wooden stick, and the mouth is painful to scrape.
I want to swallow it, but I can't swallow it anyway.
Suddenly, Yuan Chen was overjoyed and spit out the weed root that he was chewing in his mouth.
He saw a pond not far away, and there were fish swimming in the pond, and a few ducks swimming on the surface of the pond.
