The two sides were at a standstill for a moment when she found an opportunity. She swiftly stabbed at the other person’s neck, gaining 5 points, and then finished off the one on the ground.
Qin Mubai was in a one-versus-two situation, and he quickly ended the fight.
When they first realized they were being targeted, Ye Nianchu told Qin Mubai about the unlocking points. His decision not to help earlier was Ye Nianchu’s idea, to see if going all out would increase the unlocking points.
But it wasn’t that simple.
Ye Nianchu still didn’t know how to explore unlocking points on her own.
Besides Qin Mubai, there were 9 other S-level players.
With the unlocking points hanging over them, this round of the game would be very tough.
---
After dawn, the two set off again to look for water.
On the third day of the game, the system’s voice sounded at 8 AM, but today there was an extra message:
【The remaining number of players is 74, and the remaining S-level players is 10.
So far, the first player has 45 points,
the second player has 40 points,
and the third player has 35 points, with three players tied.】
The system started to announce the point rankings, and the competition between players was about to get more intense.
Ye Nianchu was one of the players tied for third, while Qin Mubai was the clear first.
“Sister, you seem happy,” Qin Mubai said, cutting through the vines in front of them.
Ye Nianchu replied without thinking, “Of course I’m happy that you’re first! I really want to see what rewards the S-level players will get in the end.”
Qin Mubai smiled slightly, “If I’m right, in the last two days, the system might reveal the locations of the top three players.”
Players aiming for the ranking would stop at nothing to eliminate those ahead of them, including them.
At that moment, a system panel suddenly appeared in front of every player, showing a map with five blinking red dots.
The system announced for the second time today:
【Supply boxes have appeared.
Note: The boxes contain more than just supplies.】
After a five-second countdown, the system page disappeared. Ye Nianchu roughly noted the locations of the supply boxes, with two close by.
Splitting up to get one box each was the fastest method, but it was too risky.
As long as they were quick enough, they still had a chance to get both supply boxes.
Only children made choices.
“Let’s go to the closest one first and then to the next,” Ye Nianchu suggested.
“Okay.”
They headed toward the nearest supply box.
Honestly, if it weren’t for this game mode, Ye Nianchu figured she would never have anything to do with supply boxes.
Twenty minutes later, a plain wooden box appeared in front of them.
Ye Nianchu reached out but instinctively pulled back.
“Sister, the box has a problem,” Qin Mubai said, pulling her back a step.
“You heard it too?”
Just a moment ago, she thought she heard a sound, like something sharp scraping against the wood, which felt uncomfortable.
Qin Mubai nodded. “Yeah, it’s coming from inside the box.”
The supply box contained more than just supplies.
It sounded like a trap.
There might be a scare inside, not a surprise.
Another group of players arrived, with six people, including the S-level player He Miao.
The leading man looked at the wooden box under the tree, then turned to them. “If you’re smart, leave the box and get out.”
Supplies were very important, and they had the advantage in numbers against just two people.
Ye Nianchu seemed to think for a long time before reluctantly nodding her head.
