Based on Li Qinglang’s observations of the chat channel, everyone’s time was the same; there was no time difference.
Secondly, it was highly likely that everyone on Blue Star had crossed over. All Humans had been brought to the Mist Continent by some unknown power. Judging from the voice in their minds, Blue Star had already been destroyed. In other words, it was impossible to return to their previous lives.
Here, Humans were lonely and weak. Fear and unease filled everyone’s hearts. Everything was unfamiliar, and only the Communicator in their hands could bring them a slight sense of familiarity.
“Do you think it’s possible to gather most people together and form a Settlement? After all, many people mean greater power.”
“Good idea. Hurry up and send a vehicle to pick me up. I wholeheartedly agree（eye roll）”
“Stop dreaming. Haven’t you seen the distances between us? Even the closest person is fifty kilometers away. Being able to encounter one person would already be a blessing. And you’re still talking about forming a Settlement.”
“Of all times to cross over, it had to happen just when I was about to go home. I didn’t get a ticket for the spring Festival. After finally rushing home on New Year’s Eve, I didn’t even get to see my family.”
“Brother, I didn’t get a ticket either. But I didn’t go home—I’m getting a full-body massage at a club. The important thing is, I’ve already taken the medicine... I’m really fired up right now!”
“Being fired up is great. You can resist the cold（dog head）”
“I’m genuinely about to freeze to death. I won’t fail to make it to daybreak, will I?”
“Hang in there, brother. It’ll be daybreak in less than an hour. Speaking of which, how many degrees is it there? It’s over ten degrees here, so it isn’t very cold.”
“Holy crap, I just checked the Weather Forecast. It’s already zero degrees here, and the System is still telling me this is the warmth before the cold current arrives. How cold is this cold current going to be?”
“The Mist Continent really is vast. Even the climate varies so much between us.”
“Brothers and sisters in cold places, try to do some exercise, such as squats and push-ups. It’ll be daybreak soon.”
Li Qinglang stared at the messages scrolling across the screen and fell into deep thought.
In the channel, he had even seen many famous figures from the original world, including political big shots, major celebrities, and business magnates. Without exception, they had all come to the Mist Continent.
The chat had gone from doubt at the beginning, to fear afterward, and was now slowly returning to the proper path of survival. Some outdoor survival celebrities were already explaining wilderness survival knowledge, though it was still unknown whether it applied to the Mist Continent.
But Li Qinglang still watched extremely attentively. After all, he was merely an e-commerce operator who sat in an office and occasionally had to work overtime in the 996 style. He was a qualified beast of burden, but as for surviving on his own?
Apart from enjoying survival programs and possessing some theoretical knowledge, his practical ability to make a move was practically zero.
Although he tried hard to calm down, the unknown panic still seemed to linger around Li Qinglang’s heart. He did not know what he would have to face after daybreak.
What he needed to do now was preserve his stamina as much as possible. Li Qinglang looked around the room, hoping to find a chair or something similar.
However, after using the light from the Communicator to look around, he found the place completely empty, without any furniture or furnishings.
“Thud!”
While moving around inside the wooden house, Li Qinglang suddenly kicked something. He hurriedly crouched down to examine it.
What he saw instantly filled him with excitement.
“The sudden crossing over filled my head so completely that I almost forgot about this. I love Blue Star!”
Azure Treasure Chest（special）
Introduction: A gift from Blue Star to all survivors, given using its accumulated heritage. This was the final care it could offer Humanity.
Note: The treasure chest can produce any item. Its quality will be randomly generated from ordinary, Fine, and Excellent. Good luck, Survivor of Blue Star!
This was a completely blue treasure chest, roughly the size of an ordinary bedside table. Li Qinglang silently prayed several times for the Buddha’s blessing, then flung open the box with a snap.
The instant the box opened, a soft green light bloomed before his eyes.
“There’s hope!”
Li Qinglang was delighted.
“Based on my many years of gaming experience, an item with color definitely won’t be ordinary!”
As the light Dispersed, a green light sphere was revealed inside the box.
Li Qinglang eagerly picked up the light sphere and examined it:
【homeland spring eye（Fine）】
Introduction: A miniature springhead that accompanied the Survivor from their homeland to the Mist Continent. It can produce 300 milliliters of Sweet Spring Water daily. The spring water has a slight effect on improving one’s physique.
Note: The item has been sealed inside the light sphere. The light sphere will automatically shatter after one hour. You may crush it early to retrieve the item.
“Good thing!”
When it came to what was most important to a Survivor, water even ranked above food. Without food, one could still live for five or six days, but without water, one could persist for three days at most!
Li Qinglang immediately crushed the light sphere. The springhead appeared on the muddy ground of the log cabin. The springhead was only about the size of an ordinary watermelon, somewhat resembling a millstone. It had a stone-like texture and a round shape, with a groove around the outer edge and a hole in the middle. The spring water flowed through the outer groove as it emerged.
The groove was already filled with spring water, approximately 300 milliliters, and it was slowly overflowing.
Li Qinglang hurriedly lay down and leaned over to take a sip. A clear, sweet, faint fragrance filled his mouth.
Before this, Li Qinglang had never known that water could taste this good!
Moreover, perhaps it was just his imagination, but after drinking several mouthfuls of spring water, he felt that his body had become somewhat lighter.
At that moment, many people in the World Chat Channel had also finished opening their chests. Among them were quite a few european emperors, though naturally, there were even more unlucky ones.
“What did you all get from the Azure Treasure Chest? I only got one family-sized bottle of cola.”
“Having cola already counts as good. I only got one potato, and it’s raw!”
“Hehe, are you all really that unlucky? My luck is pretty good. I got bread.”
“Tch, I thought it was something good. It’s just a piece of lousy bread. What’s there to brag about?”
“It is bread, but who told you I only got one? I have a hundred loaves of bread!”
What followed was a picture. Even in the dim light, it was easy to see that the ground was covered entirely with bread.
“Damn, you inhuman bastard! We opened chests too, so why did I only get one pickaxe?”
【pickaxe（ordinary）】
Introduction: A pickaxe reforged from scrap iron. It can be used to mine stone mines. Sturdy and durable, these are its only advantages.
“This pickaxe is a good thing. Otherwise, relying on the stone axe given by the System, I wouldn’t be able to obtain stone at all. I’d probably even struggle to fell trees.”
“You call this a good thing? You mortals, behold the Child of Fortune.”
At the end of the message, an item information entry was attached:
Flameburst Greatsword（Excellent）
Introduction: A greatsword created by fusing the mysterious power of the Mist Continent. It was incomparably sharp, and flames would accompany it when swung rapidly.
Note: With this, even an ordinary person would possess the power to fight when facing danger!
!!!
When the information about this sword appeared, the entire chat channel exploded, attracting countless onlookers.
“Flame... Flame Breathing?”
“Holy crap, what kind of divine weapon is this? Is this a game or reality?”
“The person above, this isn’t a game, but it’s no longer the reality we know either.”
After that, several more Excellent and Fine Grade items were posted. Without exception, every one of them shattered Humanity’s conventional understanding.
【exploding poisonous mushroom seed（Excellent）】
Introduction: A mushroom that explodes immediately upon being touched. The explosion’s power is ordinary, but it releases a deadly poison. The initial explosion affects an area of four square meters, while the poison gas can spread across a range of ten meters.
Note: It is currently still a seed. It has low soil requirements and can survive once planted. After maturing, it can slowly produce new seeds.
【Windbreaker blueprint（Excellent）】
Introduction: A blueprint recording the method for making a windbreaker. Once the corresponding materials have been collected, a windbreaker can be made. Its quality is determined by the materials, with Excellent as the highest Grade. The blueprint can be reused.
Required materials: Any animal skin *1, metal *1, wood *5
Note: The windbreaker will develop different functions based on the properties of its materials. Do not treat it as an ordinary piece of clothing. It will greatly aid your survival!
【Mist-Piercing Glasses（Excellent）】
Introduction: Glasses made from special crystals. Correcting eyesight is their most basic function.
Note: Wearing the glasses can negate the effect of mist on your line of sight within a radius of fifty meters.
………
Li Qinglang examined the information on these items one by one. Although the probability of obtaining an excellent item was extremely low, the number of Survivors was enormous. No matter how small the probability, some lucky people would still obtain one.
Among them, 【Mist-Piercing Glasses】 were especially closely connected to the essence of this world. Although the specific circumstances of the mist remained unclear, this item would likely be immensely useful.
However, although Excellent Grade items were all powerful, not every one of them was practical.
For example, one of the blueprints.
【light tank blueprint（Excellent）】
Introduction: A tank characterized by mobility and rapid deployment, with a combat weight of approximately twenty tons. It can be equipped with a 105-millimeter cannon for rapid support. It can be made once the required materials have been collected.
Required materials: Iron *1000, animal skin *50
Note: A combat machine produced with Blue Star technology. However, you do not possess the shells or fuel it requires.
This blueprint was a typical example: powerful, but utterly useless. Quite apart from the required fuel and shells, even if everything were fully equipped, would you know how to drive it?
Ninety-nine percent of people had never even seen one, let alone driven one.
It was easy to imagine the unlucky person who obtained this blueprint. They had originally been overjoyed to receive an excellent item, only to discover after looking closely that its practical value was inferior to that of a piece of bread.
It was precisely because of this blueprint that Li Qinglang did not envy the others too much. Although his own 【homeland spring eye】 was only Fine Grade,
for Survivors who currently had nothing at all, its practicality was in no way inferior to that of some Excellent Grade items.
………
Current time: 9:50
The dark night, originally so dense that it seemed impossible to dissolve, rapidly faded, as though an invisible big hand had swiftly peeled away a thick black curtain.
As the dark night dissipated, everything originally concealed by the darkness gradually appeared before people’s eyes, as though this world had finally decided to reveal its true appearance.
Day broke...
