Su Yuan continued to flip through the Survival Handbook.
When the fourth page was opened, a chat channel appeared on it: World Chat Channel (7 billion people globally), Local Chat Channel (6,000 people within a 100-kilometer radius), Friend Chat Channel (0/0).
"As expected, the whole world has been arranged," Su Yuan swallowed hard.
At this moment, people were already talking in the chat channel.
System Announcement: Here, there is no distinction of race or national borders; everyone is the same. The text appearing in the chat channel will automatically be converted into the language you understand, facilitating communication for the whole world.
"Is anyone there?"
"Present."
"+1"
"+1"
"Stop spamming. Are you all in a Black Room too?"
"That's right!"
"What kind of place is this exactly?"
"I want to go home!"
"Whoever can send me home, I'll give them 1 million."
"I'll give 2 million."
"Stop dreaming. This is no longer the original world. No one can send you back. Accept reality. Ouch, don't let it go out."
"Have you all been visited by the Ghost Blowing Lamp too?"
"It has already come inside!"
"That's right, it wants to blow out my candle!"
"I'm so scared. It keeps blowing around me, and the candle is about to go out."
"Me too. Even if it doesn't blow out, it's going to burn out anyway."
"I'm going to break down. Someone save me."
"A ghost can save you."
"That's right, the ghost is right beside you."
"Big Shots, is there really a ghost? Is it really a ghost that keeps blowing air?"
"What do you think? Do you think someone else is blowing? Damn, it's here again!"
"I'm so scared. I'm only 18 and haven't even had a proper relationship. Wuwu, which Brother can save me?"
"Don't be afraid, little sister. Brother is by your side."
"If you're by her side, you're probably a ghost yourself!"
"You guys still have the heart to chat? Be careful that your candle doesn't get blown out."
"How do you slow down the candle's burning?"
"I know. It seems like freezing it can slow down the burning."
"Freeze my foot. Do you have a refrigerator?"
"Sprinkle some salt where the candle is burning."
"You have salt?"
"Can I just bring my own salt?"
"Big Shots, you're off-topic again. I'm really scared. I don't want to die."
"Fear nothing. I am a Butcher, full of Malice. I'm going to blow out the light right now to see if there's really a ghost!"
"Brother, don't!"
"Don't be impulsive!"
"Didn't you see the manual say you might die!"
Su Yuan also couldn't help but say: "Don't blow it out!"
His words immediately turned into text and appeared in the chat box.
After all, Su Yuan had truly seen that Black Shadow just now, along with the scream it emitted.
"That Big Shot, did you really blow it out?"
"Is Brother Butcher still there?"
"Brother Butcher?"
..
The conversation in the World Chat Channel came to an abrupt halt.
Everyone was waiting for the Butcher's reply.
Until a black System Announcement floated above: Yang Dazhuang has been torn apart by a ghost.
Yang Dazhuang was the name of that Butcher from just a moment ago.
He was dead!
Everyone felt their heart skip a beat.
Their gazes involuntarily turned toward the candle on the table.
It must not go out!
Everyone's hands moved closer to the candlelight, terrified that it might be blown out in an instant.
The night was too long.
Time passed. Standing there, motionless, guarding the candle, everyone was hungry and cold.
Only Su Yuan was lying on the bed at this time, looking at the messages in the World Channel, secretly wondering if others had also awakened an ability similar to his Hundredfold Enhancement.
But after scrolling for a long time, there was no discussion about Talent.
"This bed is really hard," Su Yuan rolled over and got up, looking at the White Cloth that seemed to be used to cover a Corpse, his face showing bitterness, then his gaze fell on the bed.
Bed, ordinary Item
Comfort Level: 3%
Durability: 100%
"With such a low Comfort Level, no wonder it's so uncomfortable to lie on," he chose to apply Hundredfold Enhancement to the bed's Comfort Level.
Comfort Level: 100%
Overflowing Attribute converted into a special function: Temperature Regulation, which can automatically adjust the temperature of the bed according to the surrounding environment.
It can even do that?!
Su Yuan quickly lay down to experience this 100% comfortable bed.
My goodness!
This bed didn't even have a mattress, yet it actually felt like a Simmons bed.
Lying on it, his whole body seemed to sink in. Not only that, the Warmth radiating from the bed board made him feel comfortable and at ease.
A bare wooden bed had brought about the ultra-luxurious experience of a high-end bed.
In one word: awesome!
After Su Yuan lay down, he continued to flip through the manual to see what other information was inside.
【Trading Platform, Survivors can exchange their Supplies on this platform】
At this moment, there were only a few messages about trading candles on the Trading Platform.
The problem was, who would have any?
Even if they did, who would trade with you!
Flipping further, the sixth page was the Survival Guide, where Survivors could also share their summarized survival Experience.
At this moment, it displayed: (Survival Guide: 0 entries)
Below that was a note: When you have published enough effective guides, you can receive unexpected benefits.
The seventh page of the manual was for Honorary Titles and the Strength Ranking.
Honorary Titles are certified and issued by the System after Survivors trigger special conditions during the survival process.
The Strength Ranking would open in 10 days, and the System would rate and rank the Survivors' strength, publishing it on the leaderboard.
For the first night of arrival, this was completely empty.
Su Yuan also didn't know what these so-called Honorary Titles and Strength Ranking were actually for.
Flipping further to the eighth page, which was also the last page.
The first three words were: Survive.
Following that were two tips:
【During the day, you had better go out to find Supplies to ensure your survival; at night, you had better return to the Black Room. The night outside is full of Anomaly, and they will take your life when you least expect it.】
【Besides Anomaly, the night is also full of surprises. Only at night will Treasure Chests appear outside. Opening a Treasure Chest, you can obtain Food, Items, Tools, Skill Books, abilities, and Attribute points. But you might also open up an Anomaly.】
Danger is always linked to huge rewards, but who would dare to take the risk to look for Treasure Chests?
After all, staying alive is the way to survive in this World.
However, Su Yuan was different.
"I have 100 lives. After collecting some Supplies tomorrow, I should start trying to go out and search for Treasure Chests. I must accumulate a large enough lead from the start!"
He opened the World Chat Channel again; everyone was still desperately protecting their candles.
Su Yuan casually said: "Have you guys not thought about driving it away?"
After he used Holy Light to drive the ghost away, the Eerie Rule disappeared. This might be the way to survive the first night, rather than desperately protecting the candle, because even if the candle isn't blown out, it will eventually burn out.
Unfortunately, Su Yuan's words fell on deaf ears; no one paid any attention.
Everyone continued to wallow in self-pity, fantasizing that they would wake up and return to their original World.
It wasn't until a few more System Announcements about Survivors being killed by ghosts floated in the chat channel that they perked up.
Su Yuan rubbed his nose, then opened the fifth page, clicked on the Survival Guide, and chose to post.
He wrote an article titled 《First Night: Ghost Blowing Lamp Survival Guide》:
The candle is not enough to burn until dawn.
Anomaly fears Exorcism Items, for example: Virgin Boy's Urine.
Drive away the Anomaly, and the first night is safe. (Personally tested and effective)
To be honest, for the Exorcism Item, Su Yuan wrote Virgin Boy's Urine; this really wasn't a prank. Under such an Environment and conditions, it was the only thing he could think of.
"I wonder if writing a guide can get any benefits," he pondered, having already clicked send.
The guide had just been successfully published.
Su Yuan discovered that the World Chat Channel had exploded.
"A guide is out!"
"Awesome, as expected, there are Great Gods everywhere!"
"Great God, please carry me!"
"Is it really safe to drive away the Anomaly?"
"I don't know."
"Didn't that Big Shot named Su Yuan say it was personally tested and effective?"
"My candle is almost burned out, I have to try it!"
"Did you try it? Brother, is the Virgin Boy's Urine really effective?"
"I succeeded!"
"I peed away the one blowing my candle!"
"+1"
"+1"
"Who has Virgin Boy's Urine? Requesting a trade!"
"Give me a ton!"
"Can't you use your own?"
"It's a bit embarrassing to say, but this old man is no longer a virgin!"
"Requesting a trade."
"+1"
"+1"
..
Su Yuan discovered that after the first guide was issued, apart from the word "effective" appearing, there was no other feedback. He would try posting more guides later.
He closed the Strange Survival Manual, put it aside, ignored the friend requests, lay down comfortably, and drifted off to sleep.
