Chapter 1: People on the island, start building slate houses

Next Chapter

[Congratulations on becoming the 15888888 th player in Shanghai!] 】

Chen Ye threw his mobile phone on the computer desk and yelled excitedly at the camera:

"Cleared, hahahaha, the anchor has finally cleared the customs!"

As a well-known game anchor, Chen Ye was originally trying to play the FPS game "Apex", which had just been launched on the national server.

But just a few days ago, there was a prestige game called "Niu Got a Horse" in the circle of friends.

It is understood that this game has been on the shelves for several months, and due to the simple and brainless gameplay, it did not cause much repercussions at first.

But recently, for some reason, it suddenly became popular all over the world.

Even on major social media platforms, many people have posted complaints about the difficulty of the game.

For a talented game anchor like Chen Ye, there should be no difficulty in eliminating such mini-games.

Therefore, he played with the mentality of trying it out, and by the way, he could rub the heat and increase the number of fans in the live broadcast room.

Unexpectedly, it was written on the cover of the advertisement that there were only two levels of the game, and Chen Ye actually worked all the way to the twelfth level.

It took three full days to get this broken game through.

In my impression, it is not so difficult to hunt in a single row and bring a sister to the king.

[The regional ranking is about to end, and the production team is preparing for the reward......]

Officially, it seems that the game will be a big hit, so a leaderboard has been made.

Count all the people who have cleared the game and rank them by region.

The statistics will end at 0:00 tonight, which is one minute later.

Chen Ye glanced at the time, rubbed his hands and began to look forward to the reward content.

Normally, the reward could be a virtual badge, or a poster with a ranking, or a hidden reward.

3,2,1……

But as the countdown ended, a strong sense of weightlessness suddenly hit.

Chen Ye hadn't figured out what was going on, and his eyes went black.

Immediately afterward, the whole person fell on a hard, damp rocky ground.

The salty sea breeze blows around, mixed with the sound of the waves crashing.

Chen Ye got up in pain, rubbed his eyes, and looked around.

Cloudy skies, rocky islands, and endless seas with black sprays......

"Where is this?"

Could it be that it was because of playing games for three days all night and hallucinating?

However, a cold AI synthesized sound completely shattered his illusion:

【Dear Cattle and Horse Players, Welcome to Terra Star】

[You have passed the game test of the main god and successfully crossed into the apocalyptic world]

[This land is full of new opportunities, and you can gain extraordinary power in your adventures and become transcendent beings in higher dimensions]

[Of course, opportunities come with challenges, death and the unknown are the keynote of this world, and killing and redemption are the main theme of this world]

[You have only one goal, and that is to live]

[Survive, use all your resources to upgrade and build your safe house, expand your territory in the new world at all costs, and become the master of the new era!] 】

[The tough survival challenge has begun, time waits for no one, hurry up and start your adventure!] 】

As unfamiliar information quickly floods into the mind, everything that doesn't make sense becomes a matter of course.

But even so, Chen Ye couldn't help but complain in his heart:

The production team of that cow and horse game is really not a good person.

It's no wonder that there is a regional leaderboard for everyone to compete for the rankings.

That's the list of people who have traveled to the apocalyptic world!

At this time, a virtual interface composed of holographic projections appeared in front of Chen Ye's eyes, and the cascading operation windows slowly unfolded.

【Survival System Activated】

[After the construction of the basic safe house is completed, you will receive a newcomer lucky bag]

It's a common foundation system for everyone.

Personal information, storage space, building construction, consignment center, world channel.

The five functional modules appear in the line of sight one after another.

At this point, Chen Ye had to accept the facts.

He roughly glanced at the holographic projection and took the lead in opening the personal information interface:

【Adventurer: Chen Ye】

[Subordinate: Blue Star Human]

[Rank: Junior Adventurer]

[Survival Points: 0]

【……】

The data panel is clear and concise to the naked eye.

Only four attribute entries can be seen, and the rest are hidden.

Skimming over the first two attributes, Chen Ye stayed on the [rank].

According to the description, the rank is an assessment of the adventurer's overall strength, and survival points can be consumed to upgrade.

As for Survival Points, they can only be earned by upgrading buildings, hunting Terra's lifeforms, or completing special events.

Although there are three paths, each one is not simple.

Chen Ye sighed and turned on the World Channel, wanting to see the situation of other people.

I thought that tens of thousands of messages would fly in front of me.

But in reality, there are many fewer people talking than expected.

Most of the people are scolding and complaining about the status quo.

Chen Ye ignored it, carefully looking for useful information.

Everyone can only see the name, and the rest of the information cannot be viewed, so the privacy is quite good.

After observation, he found that many people had built safe houses according to the requirements, and even couldn't wait to open the newcomer's lucky bag and get good things.

[Ma Shangwan]: "Have the brothers opened the newcomer's lucky bag, I drove to an RV, but it was stuck on the tree when the system issued it, which is really amazing!" ”

[Wu Gang]: "I have a talent, it seems to be a bit of a bull breaker, I can cut down a tree in three or two strokes, but it takes a bit of an axe." ”

[Cai Kun]: "I have a talent for gathering, and I can get double rewards for collecting wild fruits, and each wild fruit is very full, big and sweet!" ”

[Li Qing]: "I'm really envious, my talent is visual enhancement, but now the forest is pitch black, visual enhancement is useless!" ”

[Kong Jun]: "What kind of stinky fish and rotten shrimp are you, Lao Tzu awakened his fishing talent at the beginning, in this apocalyptic world, my Kong Jun has won!" ”

……

There are all kinds of things in the newlyweds' lucky bags.

In addition to all sorts of talents, everything from matches to self-gliders is quirky.

There were even people who got their hands on old-fashioned firecrackers.

Although this thing is not as powerful as modern firearms, it can pose a threat at this stage.

Not only for unknown creatures, but also for fellow human beings who are also adventurers, it can also play a good deterrent role.

After all, in a perilous apocalyptic world, there is no legal and moral constraint.

In order to survive, all people will become unscrupulous.

In addition, Chen Ye found that most of the people in the channel were in the forest.

It seems that the world channel is not completely open, and only people in the same area can see each other's speeches.

Why does the system make such a limitation?

Chen Ye shook his head, he didn't want to waste his energy on drilling the horns of the bull now.

Since the system mentions extraordinary power at the beginning, it means that in this unknown world, there is a high probability that there will be terrifying creatures beyond human imagination.

Moreover, in the cloudy sky, there is already thunder rolling, and it is estimated that there will be a heavy rainstorm soon.

If you don't have a shelter from the wind and rain, you won't even know how you're going to die.

Therefore, the first priority is to build the basic safe house first and unlock the rewards as soon as possible.

Chen Ye circled around the island.

Based on the number of steps, the island is roughly 4.5 hectares.

In international standard counting units, that's the size of 6 football fields.

For an island, that's a pitiful amount of land.

Chen Ye opened the construction interface with some disappointment.

A wide variety of architectural drawings are tiled in holographic projections, including a dazzling array of furniture drawings.

And in the very center of the interface, there are four different types of basic safe houses for adventurers to choose from.

Once the basic safe house has been selected and built, it cannot be changed, so it is important to consider it carefully before starting.

Grade 1 slate house: a single-storey building made of stone strips or stone blocks, with an area of 20 square meters and a clear height of 2.4 meters, the house is firm and solid, warm in winter and cool in summer, moisture-proof and fireproof.

Class 1 cabin: a single-storey building with a light wooden structure, with an area of 40 square meters and a clear height of 2.8 meters, the house is breathable and moisture-proof, with good thermal insulation performance and low construction difficulty.

Level 1 Treehouse: A single-storey building built on a tree, with an area of 30 square meters, a clear height of 3 meters, and an open view.

Level 1 Basement: A single-storey building built underground, with an area of 20 square meters and a clear height of 2 meters, with a high degree of concealment.

Safe houses can be upgraded and expanded infinitely, from a small house to a city, and the upper limit is unimaginable.

In the early days, obtaining building materials according to local conditions can save a lot of trouble.

It was with this in mind that Chen Ye directly excluded the treehouse.

First, this bare island at your feet has no conditions to build a treehouse.

Second, treehouses aren't safe.

If the trunk of the tree is destroyed, it will only be death.

As for the cabins.

Chen Ye felt the howling sea breeze and shook his head helplessly.

The light wooden structure of the cabin is estimated to not be able to withstand the sea breeze.

In case of extreme weather, the house may be gone.

And the sea breeze is very corrosive, and for a house with a wooden structure, it is absolutely deadly.

He didn't want to waste all his time repairing the house.

The basement is not to be considered, living on the island and digging into the ground desperately, it is better to move directly into the sea......

After comprehensive consideration, Chen Ye set his sights on the slate house.

Safety and sturdiness are the only requirements he has for a safe house.

Due to the large amount of stone required, the slate house is more difficult to build than the other two basic safe houses.

But as long as you gather resources to stabilize your development, it can be upgraded to a solid castle!

That's a lot better than any other safe house!

However, the survival system has simplified the construction process, and only needs to bring the materials to the building model, without having to process them separately.

Units of different types of materials have also been uniformly processed.

For example, in stone, one unit represents one cubic meter of stone.

As for timber, one unit represents a log about seven meters long and 50 centimeters in diameter.

There is only one chance to select a site for a safe house, and once the house model is on the ground, it can no longer be moved.

Chen Ye searched for a long time on the island and found a place that was flat enough.

Then select the slate house model in the building interface, raise your hand and push it gently, and the translucent model will appear on it.

Before you decide to place the model, two more lines of caution appear in front of you:

[The model will remove the surrounding obstacles on its own]

[Please make sure that the location does not have any important equipment and resources]

"Remove obstacles on your own?"

Chen Ye silently recited the rules repeatedly, and suddenly had a bold idea.

He immediately changed his position and came to the high slope of the island, where a large number of huge rocks were stacked.

Then it took more than half an hour to find the angle, and finally succeeded in jamming the architectural model of the slate house into the rock crevice.

【Housing model placement successful】

【Stone House (LV.1) Construction Completed】

[Congratulations on getting the Build Reward: 10 Survival Points]

Accompanied by a pleasant system prompt, the architectural model that appeared out of thin air directly squeezed the hundreds of tons of rock.

The giant rock shattered on the spot, turned into rubble, and splashed all over the ground.

The subsequent upgrade of the slate house requires a lot of stone, isn't it now?

Of course, Chen Ye is not stuck in a bug.

In a way, he's making reasonable use of the world mechanics.

[Congratulations on the successful construction of the basic safe house, the newlyweds' lucky bag has been distributed to the storage space, please check]
