Tep, tep.
Walking in the park at dawn was clearly not something that most human would do.
Even Claret was still thinking that her brain must be flooded with water to come here at such time.
Slap!
“There are too many mosquito here.” Claret looked at the blood on her hand and sighed.
She didn’t know how many mosquitos that she had killed after entering the park so far, but she still continued to walk forward.
This park was famous in Country A’s capital city because of its large fountain in the middle.
Claret still remembered that this park would be requisitioned by the military and government in the future and this fountain was the main water source for the entire base.
The problem is…
Claret had no idea whether this water fountain was transformed on the 16th day or the 26th day.
If it was the later, then she would have to come to this park again after a few days have passed.
Otherwise, she would miss the chance of entering the game early.
Splash!
Splash!
Claret heard the sound of water splashing and her eyes lit up.
There was only one fountain in this park.
‘Hurry…’
Half running, Claret quickly found the large fountain at the center of the park and her eyes lit up.
The fountain was a few meters high and wide.
It was claimed to be one of the biggest fountain in the entire country and the people were proud of it.
Because of it, there were many people who often came here to pay a visit.
Claret stepped forward and then stopped in front of the fountain.
This…
Looking at the water that has quite a lot of fallen leaves falling in, Claret had just remembered that before this fountain was cleaned up to ensure the water was safe for consumption, it was just an ordinary fountain.
In other words: the cleaning was only done occasionally by the worker when they were diligent enough.
But most of the time, they would be too lazy to clean it.
Claret was silent.
Even though she had suffered in the Survival Game and ate many things of dubious origin and appearance, but her body had been digitalized at that time.
So any changes to her body could be reflected in her stats.
That way, Claret was fearless when she was doing it.
But now…
Claret was not entirely sure whether she would end up getting debuff or ended in hospital if she tried it.
“Forget it, I’ll just get some water and boil it,” Claret said to herself as she took out a bottle of water and scoop out a water and then scurried out.
This time, she didn’t plan to go back to the Walker Family Residence.
After she started working for a few years, she rented a cheap apartment where she often stayed for a period of time.
After all, her family members were mostly quite annoying and would cause trouble for her.
Those two step siblings are the prime examples.
Claret would feel that her patience was running out think whenever she thought about them.
She still has some pocket money.
But the amount was much less compared to Brenda and Bran.
Just thinking about it made Claret wanted to laugh in anger, but even if she complained to her father, he would only increase it slightly and then forgot about it again next time.
Overtime, Claret was too lazy to argue.
She knew very well that the company her father had will be handed over to her brother in the future.
It was not for her nor for Bran.
Tsk.
Claret reached the apartment and walked to the kitchen.
She poured the water to the pan and then boiled it.
To be honest, just boiling it didn’t seem to be enough to make it safe.
But Claret didn’t want to run around making a water filtration system and gather those chemical ingredients.
She just waited patiently in front of the pan.
After a while, the water was boiling.
Claret turned off the fire and then poured the water into a glass.
It was hot and Claret waited patiently for the temperature to come down.
Once it was warm enough for human direct consumption, Claret directly drank it.
Gulp.
It’s bland.
Oh well, what does she expect from water?
Nothing happened?
Did she do something wrong or should she not process the water?
But she remembered that things that have changed by the game should be fine to be cooked or processed even with things outside the game.
At most, it would lower the quality or something.
Just as Claret was thinking, a familiar voice rang out by her ear.
[Ding!
Welcome player Claret to the Survival Game]
[Please enter your nickname]
Claret looked at the floating screen in front of her and smiled faintly.
The moment the game panel appeared meant that her body had started to be digitized and these panels would never disappear until she finished following the instruction.
Her finger trembled slightly before she entered her nickname.
Scarlet.
This is the nickname that she chose in her previous and also the name that she wished to continue using.
Be it in her previous life or current life, she wanted to continue using this name.
[Your nickname will be ‘Scarlet,’ confirmed?]

Claret clicked yes.
