Chapter 525: Survival in the Mist 2
In the vast fog, Lin Qian quickly calmed down and began to explore this mysterious trading system. Her heartbeat gradually stabilized, and her eyes flickered with curiosity and determination. The system interface slowly unfolded in her mind, concise and clear, divided into three major sections: "Trading", "Backpack", and "Task", each of which exuded an attractive light.
"Trading system, what on earth is this?" Lin Qian muttered to herself, her fingers gently swiping through the air, as if she had touched the edge of an unknown world. She found that she could earn trading coins by completing tasks, and that trading coins could be exchanged for various materials, skills, and even unknown abilities in the system. This sudden power made her both surprised and uneasy.
"First, I need to ensure basic survival." Lin Qian thought to herself and decided to start with the simplest task. She took a deep breath and clicked on the "Task" section. One by one, the task lists came into view. Her eyes quickly locked on the first task: Find and collect ten basic survival supplies in the fog.
"This task shouldn't be difficult." Lin Qian thought to herself. With her memory of the future, she knew which supplies were the most critical in the early days of the fog. She accepted the task without hesitation, her figure looming in the fog, and she began her collection journey.
Lin Qian moved carefully through the fog, each step she took was extremely cautious. She gently pushed away the fog in front of her eyes, searching for her target with sharp eyes. Soon, she found a hidden bush, which contained several supplies she urgently needed. She quickly collected them and carefully put them into her backpack.
As the mission progressed, Lin Qian's confidence gradually grew. Relying on her memory and intuition, she was like a fish in water in the fog and quickly completed the task of collecting ten basic survival supplies. When she put the last supply into her backpack, the system prompt sounded, telling her that she had successfully obtained the first batch of trading coins.
"Great!" Lin Qian was excited. She couldn't wait to open the "Trading" section and began to browse the goods in the market. Food, water, simple shelter materials... these basic survival supplies are all available, and the prices are relatively affordable. Lin Qian was secretly glad that with these supplies, she could at least stand firm in the early stage of the fog.
However, as she continued to browse, some more advanced options caught her attention. Special medicines, potions to enhance physical strength, and even mysterious items that could dispel the fog... These items were expensive, but their value was also obvious. Lin Qian felt a strong desire in her heart. She wanted to have these powerful items so that she could be more comfortable in the fog.
"But I have to be careful." Lin Qian quickly calmed down. She understood that every transaction in the trading system might be accompanied by risks and costs. She decided to buy some basic survival supplies first to ensure that her basic needs were met before considering other things.
Just as Lin Qian was about to place an order, a sudden voice interrupted her thoughts.
"Lin Qian, is that you?" A familiar yet strange voice echoed in the mist. Lin Qian was startled and quickly looked around, trying to find the source of the voice. However, the mist was too thick and she could not see anything.
"Who? Who are you?" Lin Qian asked nervously, her fingers unconsciously clenching the straps of her backpack.
"Don't be afraid, it's me, Li Ming." The voice sounded again, this time even clearer. Lin Qian felt relieved, she recognized that this was her college classmate Li Ming. They had been separated after the fog fell in the previous life, but they didn't expect to meet again here.
"Li Ming, why are you here?" Lin Qian asked curiously, with a hint of surprise in her tone.
"I am also a reborn person." Li Ming replied briefly, "After my rebirth, I have been looking for other reborn people. I didn't expect to meet you today."
Lin Qian was filled with emotion. She had never expected to meet someone like her here. She quickly exchanged information with Li Ming. After learning that Li Ming also had a similar trading system, she became more certain of her choice.
"Li Ming, do you have any suggestions?" Lin Qian humbly asked Li Ming, "I just got some trading coins, but I don't know what to buy."
Li Ming hesitated for a moment and said, "I suggest you buy some basic survival supplies and simple shelter materials first. The early stage of the fog is the most dangerous period. We must ensure that our basic needs are met before considering other things."
Lin Qian nodded. She felt that Li Ming's suggestion was very pertinent. She quickly selected some basic survival supplies and simple shelter materials in the market, and then she and Li Ming began their journey of survival in the fog.
In the fog, Lin Qian and Li Ming supported each other and advanced and retreated together. Relying on their respective trading systems and memories of the future, they gradually gained a foothold in the fog. Not only did they successfully build their own shelter, they also collected many precious supplies and props.
However, as the fog gradually spreads and the number of survivors continues to increase, the challenges they face are also getting bigger and bigger. Sometimes, they will encounter ferocious beasts; sometimes, they will fall into dangerous traps; sometimes, they will be attacked by other survivors. Every crisis makes Lin Qian more deeply aware of the importance of the trading system.
In a fierce battle with a wild beast, Lin Qian was unfortunately injured. She fell to the ground in pain, and her clothes were stained red with blood. Li Ming quickly bandaged her wound and fed her a special medicine exchanged from the trading system. The effect of the medicine was immediate, and Lin Qian's wound quickly stopped bleeding and began to heal.
“This is amazing!” Lin Qian exclaimed inwardly, “With this trading system, we can cope with almost any challenge in the fog.”
After this crisis, Lin Qian cherished every trading opportunity even more. She began to study the rules and mechanisms of the trading system more deeply, trying to find more ways to use the trading system to improve her strength.
By chance, Lin Qian discovered a hidden mission section. The missions in this section were more complex and difficult, but the rewards were also more generous. She accepted one of the missions without hesitation: explore a mysterious ruin deep in the fog and bring back the treasure.
In order to complete this mission, Lin Qian and Li Ming made full preparations. They prepared sufficient supplies and props, and also developed a detailed action plan. However, when they actually stepped into the ruins, they found that it was much more dangerous than they had imagined.
The ruins were full of traps and mechanisms, and if one was not careful, one would be doomed. Lin Qian and Li Ming carefully shuttled through the ruins, and every step they took was full of caution and vigilance. After several hours of difficult exploration, they finally found the treasure.
However, just as they were about to leave, the ruins suddenly began to collapse. Lin Qian and Li Ming tried their best to escape the ruins, but their backpacks were lost in the panic. When they returned to the shelter, they found that all the supplies and props in their backpacks had disappeared.
Lin Qian was heartbroken by the loss, but she also understood that it was an inevitable part of surviving in the fog. She quickly adjusted her mindset and began to replan her path to survival. She decided to study the trading system more deeply and find more ways to improve herself.
