Just now, Yun Luohe had seen the girl’s name, zone, and points above her head.She had quite a few points—134.Yun Luohe only had 89.“Hiss hiss!”Yun Luohe had just come down from the tree when she heard Yúntūn’s sound.She stopped in her tracks and quickly noticed a strand of spider silk stuck to her clothes. The next second, Yúntūn leapt into her arms.“Hehe, I found it.”Yun Luohe said, “You found water?”“Hiss hiss, I’ll take you there.”Yúntūn led the way ahead and quickly brought Yun Luohe to a small stream.This place did have a water source, but it wasn’t a good location to build a shelter.The terrain was too low, and there was a large patch of wild flax growing beside it. The stream itself had many stones coated in pitch.Yun Luohe planned to harvest some of the flax here. Flax could be brought back to make linen and also be used to make rope. It wasn’t high-grade material, but it had plenty of uses.Harvesting flax also gave [points], though only a little, but it was better than nothing.She had Yúntūn help with the harvesting, while she went to see if there were any edible fish or shrimp in the stream.But although the stream was clear, not a single fish could be seen.Yúntūn used its spider silk to bind a large bundle of flax, then contracted the silk to slice the flax at the midpoint. All Yun Luohe had to do was pick up the cut flax from the ground.Her backpack still had space. Out of 25 slots, only 13 were currently used. She would reserve one for fluorite, and since oil was collected in [oil barrels], she could gather as many materials as she wanted for now.Unfortunately, there was no bamboo nearby—otherwise, bamboo tubes would’ve made excellent water containers.But now, since she hadn’t found oil yet, the [oil barrel] was empty—she could use it to store water for the time being.A 200L [oil barrel] could hold a huge amount—enough not just for drinking, but even bathing.Considering that over the course of three days she probably wouldn’t need that much water, Yun Luohe only filled half the barrel.After all, once she found oil, she’d have to dump the water out.Thinking it over, Yun Luohe picked up a piece of pine wood and used the hunting knife to hollow out the center, making a solid wood cup. Though a bit rough, it was functional. She even trimmed the carved-out portion into a suitable shape to use as a lid.After that, Yun Luohe left the area with Yúntūn.She didn’t plan to stay here long. Her [points] were still too low. If she wanted to get more [points], she needed to find more resources.It had already been over three hours since she landed on the island.And she still hadn’t found any food—that was a problem.Logically, Mist Veil Island shouldn’t be lacking in food. She’d just been unlucky and hadn’t come across any yet.If she found nothing at all, she’d have to make do with drinking some [mist veiled tea] to replenish energy today.——The fog-filled canyon looked like a natural prison.Chen Jin was trapped here.Players who had previously seen from his point of view all thought he’d stay here until the end of the competition—or get eliminated midway due to dehydration or starvation.But if the system were to suddenly switch the livestream back to Chen Jin’s perspective, everyone would be shocked, thinking they were watching an extreme sports documentary.Chen Jin had spent three hours cutting his [oil barrel] into six curved steel plates. He also dismantled his tent and unraveled the ropes, then braided them together with oil-soaked bark fibers, crafting an eight-meter climbing rope.Using the steel plates and the rope, he began climbing up step by step.Climbing a cliff this deep wasn’t something you could just do easily.But Chen Jin still pressed on.Yet the closer you got to success, the greater the danger.About ten meters up, he encountered an oil-seeping rock layer.The moment his palm touched the slippery rock, he lost all stability. The slick surface left him with no foothold and nothing to grab onto—he instantly lost balance and plummeted.At that critical moment, he swiftly pulled out his monk staff and, using all his strength, smashed it into the rock face, driving it in by force. His whole body hung from the staff. The vibrations sent a metallic ringing through it.Although Chen Jin’s face didn’t change, his heart was pounding like crazy in his chest, about to burst from his mouth.He hung there for a full twenty minutes before regaining composure.Then, carefully, he tied the rope to the monk staff and changed direction to climb—this way, he avoided the oil-seeping rock layer.After five hours of climbing, Chen Jin finally reached the top of the cliff.At that point, his stamina value was down to just 12 points. He looked as if all strength had been drained from his body. And he had nothing left to replenish himself. He had lost too much sweat—he was mildly dehydrated and breathing heavily.He rested for a while, then used his remaining strength to pull the rope up and retrieve the staff.When he finished all this—Chen Jin glanced at the sudden increase in [points] on the top right of his interface, still showing no expression.He put away the monk staff and looked around the environment.The [oil barrel] used for storing oil had been destroyed by his own hands, so the oil was gone—but at least he had escaped the canyon. Now was the time to start gaining [points].——Yun Luohe had no sense of direction in the thick mist. She just followed her instincts as she moved forward.On the way, she encountered two players, but both only gave her a glance from afar before walking away.Yun Luohe hadn’t gotten close enough to see their zone or names, but their [points] were also in the double digits—similar to hers.Actually, normal players wouldn’t consider killing others in-game just to steal their [points] and resources.Besides, the competition had only just started. Even if someone did try to kill for loot now, the rewards would be too low, and they’d risk getting marked as a red name.Better to hurry and gather resources first.With Yúntūn’s help, Yun Luohe soon found a spring at the foot of the northern mountain.It was backed against a vertical cliff, which could act as a natural defensive barrier.There were many bushes beside the spring, providing good concealment.Although it was an underground spring, the water had been filtered through sandstone—it was clear, sweet, and even flowing. It could be drunk directly.The only downside was that there was a patch of bog nearby, the kind filled with decaying organic matter—it didn’t smell great.Yun Luohe planned to head uphill and find a flat area on the slope to build a shelter. That way, it would be close to the spring, and she could come get water at any time. Plus, she already had a full [oil barrel] of water in her backpack, so she wasn’t particularly short on water.After going up the mountain, Yun Luohe discovered a wild yam vine.The vine was very long, winding all the way up to the treetop. Following the vine, she found where the wild yam was growing.These yams grew vertically into the ground and could reach up to one meter. Just digging up one would be enough to feed her for a day.Though they grew deep and were hard to dig, Yun Luohe had a [multi-function entrenching tool], so with some time, she managed to dig it all up.While she dug the yam, she had Yúntūn scout the area to see if there was anything else useful nearby.If she could catch a wild chicken, that would be perfect.Wrapped in leaves and mud and roasted together with wild yam and chicken—it would taste amazing just thinking about it.She still hadn’t eaten anything, and her stamina was almost completely drained.Ten minutes later, Yun Luohe dug up the entire yam. She weighed it in her hands—it was about ten or so jin.Such a big one—enough for several meals.If she really couldn’t find any other food, she could probably make it through the three days eating just wild yam.In any case, the food problem was now solved.Yun Luohe checked her [points].Digging up that wild yam just now had gained her 20 [points]. It seemed that acquiring special food gave quite a bit of [points]—at least more than chopping trees did.Just then, Yun Luohe heard Yúntūn’s call. The sound didn’t have much strength to it. She quickly stored everything into her backpack and hurried over to find Yúntūn.Yúntūn hadn’t gone far and was quickly found by Yun Luohe.It turned out Yúntūn had gotten stuck to the resin secreted by a pine tree.This kind of resin was sticky—if a spider accidentally touched it, it was indeed easy to get trapped.Yun Luohe had thought something had happened to it. She immediately went over and used her hunting knife to carefully scrape the resin off. There was still some stuck to Yúntūn’s fur. She didn’t dare pull it all off—afraid of tearing out its fur.“Next time, be more careful. There’s a lot of that yellow stuff on pine trees.”As soon as Yun Luohe finished speaking, Yúntūn shot out a strand of silk, wrapped up the resin, and actually swallowed it directly.“Hiss hiss, this doesn’t taste good.”“Baby, you really shouldn’t eat just anything.” Yun Luohe patted its head.Yúntūn let out a cute sound. “If I eat it all, I won’t have to be afraid anymore.”Yun Luohe couldn’t help but laugh. “Well, I guess that makes some kind of sense.”“But you still shouldn’t eat this stuff. I’ll feed you something good once I find it.”Yun Luohe was thinking of finding some fluorite for Yúntūn to try. Yúntūn liked eating minerals—fluorite, iron ore, blood crystals were all minerals.Yúntūn obediently rested on Yun Luohe’s shoulder. “Okay!”——Right then, someone suddenly appeared behind Yun Luohe.“Hello there.”The sound of a stranger’s voice instantly put Yun Luohe on high alert. Her expression turned grim—because she hadn’t noticed this person’s presence at all. With her perception trait, if someone approached, she should’ve sensed it immediately.But this person had gotten as close as three meters behind her—and she hadn’t noticed a thing.She took two steps back, her gaze sharp as she looked at the newcomer.Zone 1 — Lu Yin.[Points]: 129.This person’s [points] were quite high.And to be able to approach her without her noticing—he clearly wasn’t some ordinary character.Lu Yin smiled cheerfully at Yun Luohe and asked, “That’s your pet, right? Such a special little spider. It kinda looks like the silverback spiders from Spider Island.”Yun Luohe’s face was expressionless, but she was extremely shocked inside.“What do you want?”Lu Yin said, “Nothing really. I was just passing by. Saw you talking to your pet, so I thought—how about we form a team? If we team up, we can definitely earn more [points].”Yun Luohe replied, “No thanks. I don’t plan on teaming up.”Lu Yin said, “Are you sure you won’t reconsider? I’ve already found quite a bit of food. If we work together, I can give you some. All you’d need to do is protect me. Don’t worry—I don’t have any bad intentions. I’m really weak. My combat stat is super low.”His gaze was sincere, but Yun Luohe didn’t change her mind. “No. Go away.”She didn’t believe a single word of what he said.If your combat stat is that low but your [points] are higher than mine, and you still come to me proposing to team up without hesitation, aren’t you afraid I’ll just take your [points] and supplies?He said he had no malicious intentions, but who knew what he was actually scheming. Yun Luohe didn’t even want to guess.Still, Lu Yin’s appearance made Yun Luohe a little less confident in her own perception trait.It seemed even traits had weaknesses—they didn’t work all the time.Maybe this person had some trait that reduced his presence, making him hard to detect.And he’d been to Spider Island. He had seen silverback spiders and even recognized that Yúntūn shared some origin with them. That meant this guy wasn’t weak—otherwise, how could he have returned intact from the perilous Spider Island?Yúntūn was a mutated silverback wolf spider—not exactly the same as a silverback spider.But their appearance did have some similarities.Seeing that he still hadn’t left, Yun Luohe sneered coldly and said, “Before I change my mind and rob you of your supplies, you’d better get out of here...”Hearing Yun Luohe’s tone grow hostile, Lu Yin’s expression shifted. He smiled and didn’t say more. “Alright then.”He glanced at Yúntūn once more, then walked away reluctantly.Yun Luohe watched his back as he left. Only when he was far enough away did she turn ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) around and leave herself.It looked like this competition had no shortage of hidden experts.Trying to place high in the rankings wasn’t going to be easy.
