Qi Xu couldn’t take it anymore and immediately pulled out an anesthetic needle to prevent his beloved car from being smashed by bricks.
He even stepped directly in front of the vehicle, his mind bizarrely thinking that if the car had feelings, it would surely be moved by now!
His shoulder took a hit from a flying brick—after all, there were just too many green-haired monsters. Eventually, Qi Xu resorted to using a chainsaw.
The chainsaw was razor-sharp. With a single sweeping motion, every green-haired monster it touched turned into a fountain of green blood.
By the time his arms grew sore, Qi Xu switched back to a baton. Three solid hits were enough to trigger a stun effect. Twenty-one green-haired monsters—Qi Xu took them all down in under 20 minutes.
He even collected 122 strands of green fur.
Inside the crate was a nut gift set. Qi Xu took a box of pine nuts and handed the rest to Chinese Master Chef.
When Chinese Master Chef learned the crate had contained 21 green-haired monsters, he nearly dropped to his knees in shock.
Chinese Master Chef: "Thank goodness I gave you the crate—otherwise, I’d be dead by now! You’ve worked hard, really hard. Here, take this box of pistachios too! Premium healthy fats!"
Qi Xu didn’t refuse. He was exhausted.
Fortunately, the remaining three bronze supply crates held no monsters—just basic materials for upgrades or blueprints. Qi Xu kept 10 units of cotton, 6 units of gold, and 3 copper pipes, giving the rest to Chinese Master Chef.
Now, only two silver supply crates remained with Chinese Master Chef. To play it safe, Qi Xu first treated his bruised arm with some medicated oil from the first-aid kit.
At first, the pain hadn’t registered, but after a while, his shoulder throbbed—swollen and red.
Thankfully, he was wearing a bulletproof undershirt set, or the injury could’ve been far worse.
Once the pain dulled, Qi Xu turned to the crates.
The moment he opened the first silver crate, monsters poured out—seems like today was all about green-haired fiends!
A colossal green-haired monster, standing three meters tall, loomed before him. Qi Xu didn’t dare underestimate it—first strike: anesthetic needle!
Bigger targets had their perks—no need for precise aiming. The needle hit instantly.
As the giant monster collapsed, Qi Xu unsheathed a long-unused machete and swung at its neck.
Well, the blade snapped.
Quickly switching to his pink chainsaw, he hacked away, sending jets of green blood shooting skyward in varying sizes.
Perhaps due to the monster’s massive size, the anesthetic’s effect was short-lived. It woke up sooner than expected. Qi Xu relentlessly bashed its head with the baton, keeping it stunned without pause.
Only then was it finally vanquished.
Qi Xu slumped to the ground, panting heavily. Today, he had to get his hands on some bullets.
The only consolation? This giant green-haired beast yielded 335 strands of fur—bigger size, more loot!
Peering into the crate, Qi Xu’s eyes lit up—his long-awaited bullets were there!
"Congratulations! Obtained ×100 universal-caliber bullets!"
Happiness came so suddenly, Qi Xu instantly felt recharged.
The final crate held no monsters—just an oven, an electric hot pot, and a griddle.
Perfect for Chinese Master Chef. Qi Xu left it all—such items belonged in the right hands.
Chinese Master Chef was overjoyed and confiscated all the supply crates.
"I don’t want any bullets—I don’t have a workbench. You can keep the crates from now on; they’re useless to me."
Invincible Black Tornado: "Got it."
Qi Xu took out a steaming bowl of pork and cabbage stew with vermicelli, paired with some coarse grain buns, and enjoyed a hearty meal.
Then, he prepared to open his own crates. Out of three wooden crates, he got two small green snakes and three one-eyed monsters...
Not a single useful item!
Only one of the three bronze crates contained any supplies—just 10 pieces of glass and 10 iron ingots—but it also spawned a massive green-haired monster...
This time, Qi Xu had a gun. Worried about missing his shots? No problem. He first immobilized the creature with a tranquilizer dart, then climbed onto its body and fired three rounds—two hitting its chest and one straight to the forehead.
This one went down much easier than the last.
Another 302 green hairs harvested!
Now, only two silver crates remained—one picked up today and the other found yesterday on a parallel highway. He’d forgotten to open the latter, so he decided to tackle both at once.
Qi Xu had a hunch that the odds of encountering monsters today were high, so he used a stick to pry open the crates, aiming and ready to shoot.
The moment the giant serpent peeked out of the crate, before it could fully emerge, Qi Xu turned it into Swiss cheese.
No doubt about it—guns were a game-changer!
But when Qi Xu cheerfully approached, he was met with a bitter sight: the silver supply crate was completely empty!!!
He glanced at the chat room and realized everyone was in the same boat.
Little Yellow Duck: "I found six crates today and was hyped out of my mind. But three had monsters, and two were empty. At this point, I’d rather find fewer crates!"
Player 1118: "I had it worse—four crates, all monsters... wasted my whole day for nothing."
Blessed by Luck: "I thought it was just me! Now I feel way better."
Bubbly Girl Guo Degang: "Buying blueprints long-term! Prices negotiable!"
Qi Xu had just delegated this task to Bubbly Girl. Blueprints were scarce these days, and no one was willing to part with them.
Qi Xu hadn’t managed to find any either.
Originally, the survival game had shown rare mercy on the final day of the beginner protection period, showering everyone with generous supplies. Suddenly, food and water weren’t so hard to come by.
But for three straight days, the crates yielded little more than basic materials, with food and water becoming vanishingly rare...
Players were growing restless, and Retired Magical Boy’s water purifier business, which had hit a slump, suddenly skyrocketed in demand.
Qi Xu stopped saving crates to open at night. Since they were either empty or full of monsters, opening them after dark risked damage to his vehicle.
Better to deal with them in broad daylight. Over these three days, Qi Xu’s stats had skyrocketed—his training regimen was paying off.
Just when Qi Xu thought it would last until the end of the week, he suddenly encountered a traffic light! Qi Xu's eyes lit up again!
