"Ahmn~" After sleeping until lunchtime, the fire in the stove had long since extinguished, leaving only a bit of residual warmth.
Not bothering with anything fancy, just eating some berries washed yesterday and drinking some leftover meat soup. Watching the roasted meat and mushrooms on the fire.
Those who aren't strong enough don't deserve to enjoy life.
Sure, my idea that only those who are strong deserve to enjoy life can be quite a harsh perspective and may not accurately reflect the complexities of life and human experience but that's not the case in times of crises, right?
Opening the chat interface, the atmosphere inside was much better than Athena had imagined. Different from the widespread sorrow last night, where everyone thought they were close to death, today's chat messages were noticeably more cheerful.
Everyone was discussing what happened last night. Most people encountered only one or two monsters, with only a very few encountering three. And no one had triggered the Snowstorm Beast's summoning event like Athena did.
The chat area wasn't all joy and harmony. There was fear, anger, excitement, and happiness, all kinds of emotions. This is the beauty of humanity, both possess kindness and lack of empathy.
It was indeed a good publicity effect for Ask-the-Heavens's team to have no casualties. If what they said was true, that their resources could be shared, and everyone upgraded their shelter, then it's not surprising.
As long as you're not as unlucky as me, triggering some weird things, it's not difficult to get through yesterday. In extreme weather like this, the scariest part is often not the beginning. But as time goes on, people can't endure it anymore, and the matched resources become increasingly insufficient.
Only in the later stages can the difference be distinguished.
Athena just tried with a sickle, and the snow outside was now half a sickle deep.
Even if the sun is out now, it's still around minus eleven or twelve degrees Celsius.
And inside the house, it's about minus seven or eight degrees, this situation will worsen when darkness falls at night. Lighting the fire will make it much better. She only made one fire during the day today.
She only hoped that doing so would not result in too many deaths. Even before the first round of the game officially began, 3000 players had already died.
The system's decision to divide players from Earth into zones must have its significance. Who knows if there will be territorial battles later. Although she didn't think that many people could trigger such a situation, she considered it an increase in her reputation.
"...Yes," Athena had been thinking all along when this guy would come to find her, and now he had arrived. If his goal was to gather top players together, then he would definitely come to her.
Athena could imagine how colorful the opposite party's expression was.
Indeed, it was a good offer.
It was said to be a group, but it was actually a subordinate organization centered around Ask-the-Heavens. Whether it adopts a democratic system or not, it's all superficial. Probably it was a sort of Ponzi scheme where only those at the top benefit and those at the lower end work hard for little gain.
As much as I want to survive, I don't want to if it comes at the expense of others and this guy was too suspicious to be honest.
I see, why can't people just get straight to the point from the beginning?
Selling one's information to some small fry is not as good as selling it directly to a powerful group.
A 30% drop rate for items isn't low, which means every monster has a 1/3 chance of dropping items. What's more important is that the system doesn't specify the color of the dropped items.
So when Athena opened the trading panel, she saw the lively scene of the first trading panel ever. There were some good things among them.
Moreover, Athena also found that some players had started using currency for trading, no longer just bartering. The monetary system had begun to move beyond the system's mall. But this situation wasn't obvious yet, only with time would the monetary system become the ultimate form of trading.
She scrolled up and saw something she was very interested in.
Unfortunately, this guy didn't intend to sell it. He knew it was useful himself.
In the end, Athena chose to send trade requests to the sellers of iron ore and defense tower blueprint.
