In the wilderness, a graveyard, and a pitch black night, under an environment where these buffs are stacked to the max, nothing can boost Human morale more than a blazing bonfire.
The bonfire even has the nickname "Wilderness TV"; just watching the flickering flames and listening to the crackling sound of branches being roasted can bring a degree of comfort to a restless heart.
If there were a dedicated Bonfire Camping Skill, players could even gather together to recover some SAN points or something.
After the Red Demon was killed, the Current Area entered a relatively safe state; the only Enemies were some Red-eyed Crows that dared not approach carelessly, and new Enemies would only be encountered after crossing the river.
Not long after, guided by the bonfire, the two college students who had gone out to scavenge for food safely returned, their satchels and briefcases completely full.
Besides food mainly consisting of snacks, they also brought back handkerchiefs, wet wipes, lighters, keys, nail clippers, and even individually packaged condoms and Sanitary Napkins.
Information dissemination channels in modern society are truly vast; the popularization of mobile phones and the internet has allowed many people to access all sorts of information.
They had both seen short videos explaining small bits of knowledge, such as using feminine pads as insoles for shoes, or how a high-quality condom could hold 1.5 liters of water.
And when they saw the bonfire Cheng Tian had made and him boiling water with a helmet, their faces, which had held some moral Guilt from looting bodies, quickly shifted to Surprise.
Although they found plenty of food, they couldn't find any bottled water at all.
Without food, a person can last about a week by consuming fat and muscle.
Without water, a person is gone in three days.
Soon, eating sounds, much like those in Minecraft, erupted around the bonfire, with peanut kernels, Banana slices, and crispy crackers being stuffed into Cheng Mouren's mouth in rotation.
Cheng Tian, with a hundred flowers blooming in his mouth, directly cupped the helmet to drink water, while the two college students used emptied foundation cases and business card holders as temporary water Vessels, carefully sipping the still somewhat hot River Water inside.
It's unclear if the 5% permanent Fire Resistance also applies to hot water, but Cheng Tian certainly didn't feel the helmet or the hot water was too hot; he quickly finished it all and resolutely refilled the helmet with water again.
Modern people play on their phones even while eating, and Cheng Tian and his group were no exception; however, at this moment, he and the college students were fiddling with their personal Panels instead of communicating face-to-face about the situation.
This Scene is very much like modern Chinese style; if elders saw it, they would definitely scold them.
Of course, Cheng Tian and his group weren't playing around; there were simply too many things they needed to figure out.
Many options on the personal Panel could be clicked to view detailed information.
Cheng Tian had already looked at the Strength entry in the Attribute column earlier, so this time he clicked on the other Attributes one by one to check them.
【Agility—Corresponds to data related to Attack Speed, Movement Speed, dynamic vision, reaction ability, and so on.】
【Spirit—Corresponds to data related to Spell Attack, MP cap, Mana regeneration efficiency, Spell Resistance, and so on. Current Spirit to MP ratio is 1:10.】
【Charisma—Corresponds to data related to initial Reputation Points with NPCs and Factions, Reputation acquisition efficiency, first impression from neutral Organisms, control level over Summoned creatures, persuasion success rate in communication, and so on.】
The aspects corresponding to Agility and Spirit met the expectations of Cheng Tian, this 'Dao Si Lin' (a likely slang/nickname); Strength, Agility, and Spirit might correspond to the three development paths for Chosen Players, as average Stat Allocation leads to either being top-tier or mediocre.
The Charm Attribute is indeed somewhat special; it is clearly geared towards those Chosen Players who focus on Instance exploration, deep plot digging, and the Summoner archetype.
Cheng Tian was well aware that while his appearance had no obvious strengths or weaknesses, he was clearly not the type that was popular; in fact, many people instinctively felt a bit of fear upon first seeing him, so a low initial Data value was normal.
Coincidentally, the first formal Skill Cheng Tian currently possessed was related to Charisma, leaning towards the Summoned creature aspect.
Unable to think of anything else for a moment, Cheng Tian closed the Attribute descriptions and clicked on the Achievement List instead.
The completed 《Red Demon First Encounter Kill》 Achievement was clearly displayed at the very top, and below it was a list of Achievements, some with conditions already shown, and others still in a question mark state, unviewable.
【General Achievements （Can be completed across Instances ）——】
【Zombie Outbreak: Cumulatively Kill 100 Zombie Units. Current progress is 69/100.】
【Noisy!: Cumulatively Kill 50 Corvidae Units. Current progress is 4/50.】
【Herbicide: Cumulatively Kill 50 Killer Plant Units. Current progress is 2/50.】
【What is this? A Treasure Chest? Let's open it!: Cumulatively trigger 15 Mimic traps. Current progress is 1/15.】
【……】
【Demon World Village Achievements——】
【Kingdom Knight's Hai Lan Zhi Jia (Home of the Sea Blue): Cumulatively collect and obtain 《Knight Armor》《Bronze Armor》《Gold Armor》《Knight Lance》《Knight Shield》《Gold Knight Sword》. Current progress is 《Knight Armor》1/1.】
【There are Six More Guys as Strong as Me: Participate in and Kill all Boss of the Level under the Demon King in 6 Main Storyline Stages.】
【Astaroth, Hey! Arthur is Back Again!: Kill the true Astaroth while teamed up with Arthur or under the effect of "Arthur's Proof".】
【……】
Achievements are divided into General Achievements that can be completed across Instances, and Exclusive Achievements that can only be completed in this Blueprint Instance.
Currently, the Achievements Cheng Tian can see are those whose conditions have been partially triggered and are theoretically completable, and these Achievements do not list their corresponding rewards.
Putting aside the exclusive Achievements for Demon World Village for now, many Veteran Players must have already completed those General Achievements that can be completed across Instances; he should be able to gather relevant information later.
If every Achievement corresponds to a Title, and only one Title can be worn at the same time, there might be something more special to consider here.
"Hiccup!!!"
Having stuffed himself with high-calorie snacks and also drunk his fill of water, Cheng Tian let out a loud burp, then somewhat reluctantly stuffed his mobile phone back into the pocket of his Underwear, patting it to adjust the trajectory of his cannonballs.
Only then did he slowly put all the pieces of Knight Armor, including the now dried helmet, back into the same slot in his Inventory, while he himself remained in a state of only Underpants and slippers.
There are clearly many places worth exploring in the Chosen Space, and to be able to continue exploring, finding a way to kill the Cyclops and leave Demon World Village alive is crucial.
Seeing Cheng Tian's actions, the two college students, who had clearly eaten less than Cheng Tian, immediately stood up and dusted off their butts; the mood, which had been significantly calmed by the bonfire and eating, began to ripple again.
"Don't worry about saving the food or water; the next part should be like a little Frog crossing the river, probably requiring a running jump. I suggest you leave anything unnecessary here."
Cheng Tian pointed to the magical moving platform moving back and forth on the River Surface not far away.
Well then, it's time for the jumping puzzle.
