The park was filled with people.
It was Sunday and there were many people here for various reasons.
Claret didn’t look conspicuous in the crowd and she herself didn’t want to attract attention.
She just walked along the pathway while looking around, trying to find something that she could take.
Even if it’s just a rock, she could just collect them first.
Anyway, she purposely brought a backpack with her for this.
Seeing the children running around filled with laughter, Claret’s eyes flickered slightly.
This was a sight that she wouldn’t see anymore after the Survival Game started.
At least, outside the bases, it was nothing more than hell.
Most children couldn’t survive and Claret heard that various bases were promoting childbirth.
Unfortunately, for people who couldn’t even eat enough, adding another mouth to feed was still a bit too much.
But Claret didn’t know the details.
After all, she was not allowed to enter the official base.
‘What a pity.’
Claret walked around the park and managed to find some small minerals that were scattered on the ground.
It seemed that the Survival Game had already started spreading these things.
As she picked them up, a familiar notification sounded in her ear.
[Scavenging, EXP + 1]
[You have obtained small copper ingot]
Claret’s eyes lit up.
How could she forget about this?
When they level up their general level, they could also get skill points that they could use for their profession.
Anyway, there were no other use of leveling up aside from using the skill points in their profession.
They would not get any attribute points whatsoever.
It was quite tragic in a way.
Anyway, humans’ limitation was not so easily broken, which is one of the reasons why the Survival Game was so cruel and dangerous.
Claret became even more energetic and practically scoured the entire park for a few hours, almost turning over the entire place upside down.
If it was not because she needed to maintain her image and didn’t want to be treated as a lunatic, Claret might have been more blatant in her action.
Anyway, by the time she was done, Claret had already collected enough materials.
There were copper, aluminium, iron, bronze, and so on.
If she wanted to create more complicated metal, she would have to mix them herself.
But the machine hadn’t arrived yet.
And Claret definitely didn’t want to do it in her living room unless she wanted to make her neighbor come and disturb her.
Ring!
Ring!
Seeing the call from her father, Claret really wanted to toss the phone away.
She knew that it wouldn’t be a good thing.
But she still has to continue her act as their daughter, a somewhat rebellious but still relatively ‘kind’ one.
Tsk.
“Yes?”
“Claret, where the hell are you?
Go to the hospital right now and accompany your mother!
No matter where you are, you have to go!”
The phone call was cut off and Claret could hear the noise from the background.
It seemed that her father was in the hospital and there were many people arguing behind him.
What happened?
‘Oh well, let’s just go and take a look.’
At worst, she would just endure more scolding from her step mother.
