Chapter 167. Task Settlement

   【The Survivor app has been successfully updated. 】

    【Global Announcement: Congratulations to survivor ‘Maria’ for maintaining the title of Chief Survivor in the first round of public testing. Reward: +9 to all attributes (3² = +9), +9 to free attribute points (3² = +9), and 3000 points. 】

 

     A mechanical voice echoed in the ears of all survivors worldwide at the same moment, resonating three times. On their phone dialog boxes, colorful firework effects appeared three times, with the firework effects lasting a full three minutes.

     “…”

     The first time hearing the global announcement was shock and awkwardness, the second time brought more thought.

     In the previous E-level closed beta copy, the Chief Survivor’s obtained attribute was 3. This time, the attribute is the previous time’s squared = 3², showing an exponential distribution.

     If this continues, the attribute increase per round will be very considerable.

     Besides, there is an extra 3000 points reward. In terms of point rewards, the system is very stingy, and ordinary copies may not be able to get thousands of A ratings.

     Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle-Ye Mo’s stomach sang the empty city plan, and it kept singing.

     Hawk Eye whooshed out of her body, bounced through the bedroom walls, and eagerly disappeared from her sight, with a hint of disgust.

     “…”

     Ye Mo’s stomach was still growling, she was truly starving, so hungry her legs were weak and her head was dizzy, even hungrier than escaping from the Norse mythology dungeon. She flipped out of bed in a flash.

     She quickly and cleanly devoured the warm water, chocolate, bread, charcoal-grilled fragrant pork, and other things prepared on the bedside table. While eating, her claws, no, her hands and utensils, felt a little awkward to use.

     After eating all of them, her stomach was six-tenths full.

     But because the spiritual energy in her body was not replenished enough, her hunger did not improve much, so she counted the storage space again.

     Unsurprisingly, the dinosaur prey, wild fruits, spirit stones, and spirit jade essence stored in the storage space had all disappeared, and the consumption in the dungeon was considerable.

    In this public test, the largest consumption in the space was of space-attribute spirit stones, and gold-attribute spirit stones, with consumption rates of around 98% for both.

     Secondly, there were other energy sources. Weapon consumption was minimal, with tens of thousands of arrows still remaining. Several throwing devices were lost, but there was zero loss of alchemy and weapon-crafting equipment.

     Ye Mo took out one high-grade spirit stone each of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. She suppressed the conditioned reflex of reflexively stuffing them into her mouth, and instead held a spirit stone in her hand to absorb energy.

     The spirit energy entered her body, like a stone falling into a deep mountain, receiving little to no response

     After a few minutes, the hunger in her body was slightly relieved. After all five spirit stones were digested, she was about one-fifteenth full.

     While continuing to absorb spirit energy with the spirit stones, Ye Mo took out her phone and opened the app.

     After this public test, the app did not upgrade, only had an update similar to a game patch, so the page layout was similar to before.

     At the top, the eye-catching global announcement is still rolling. The next time to enter the main copy is two months later. There is still a “Earth King Ranking” section, recording the top 100 survivors.

     “The ranking change rate is over 95%.”

     Ye Mo took a quick look and saw Wang Xue entering the top 20 and Watson who improved from 89th to 45th, and her lips curved slightly.

     Among the top five, the top three positions remain unchanged.

     Lani Shannon ranked fourth, up one place, Pushkin was squeezed out of the top five by chance, a man named Aesop is now ranked fifth, Arthur of Britain remains in seventh place, and one of the top ten has disappeared, and it is very likely that he has died.

     In addition, Zhang San has also climbed to 55th place, and there are many new faces in the back row of the top 100.

 

     There are also a lot of survivors’ messages below the ranking list:

   【As insignificant as I am, I come to look up to the big boss every day. Big boss, do you still need a little brother who can spit fire? 】

   【Traveler = Maria, do you know that the big boss has been exposed? I have already gone to the forum to wait for the big boss’s shop to open. 】

   【Secondary job + Peak combat job, strongly suspect Maria is the favorite of heaven, perhaps she is the main god pretending to be a newbie in the infinite flow, that’s how it’s written in novels.】

   【Also, Watson and Wang Xue are Maria’s companions, which means Mi Wenjing = Maria, oh my god, I’m a fan of the Wenjing boss, I even criticized Maria last time, boss, I was wrong, really wrong!】

   【I am a fan of Maria, so far, I still dare not believe that Mi Wenjing is Maria, do you have any evidence? Just relying on Wang Xue? I don’t believe it. 】

   【Upstairs, stop struggling. It’s not just Wang Xue’s evidence. Maria inherited the dwarves, Mi Wenjing is the leader of the Mohist school, they are both female survivors, and they are good at crafting. Isn’t that obvious? Moreover, in the Jurassic dungeon, Chinese survivors proved that they are the same person!】

   【Oh my god! Chinese people everywhere, where did the Americans go! What about the British Empire? 】

   【Both the top Ranker and the third ranker are from our China, hahaha, so happy! 】

   【Forum hot post porter, no thanks:

     Traveler = Maria = Mi Wenjing, has all the supernatural talents of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, and is suspected to have supernatural powers in strength, speed, spirit, etc. The first copy she participated in was the East Asian copy “Zombie Supermarket”… The second copy was the famous “Irish Town”… 】

   【What kind of fairy copy is Irish Town, the top three are all survivors in it. 】

   【Not only that, look at the top ten. 】

   【Newbie here, I don’t understand what the big shots are talking about. Can any of the big shots please enlighten me?.】 

   【The first and second place are both women, it’s a case of yin flourishing and yang declining!】 

   【May I ask which group the big shot Maria is from? Can I join?】 

   【Just a little secret, the mini Tyrannosaurus Rex is super cute and fierce. I risked my life to draw a cute picture, here’s the jpg, I want–】

   【Upstairs, do you know you’re done for? You’ll be blacklisted from Maria’s shop. How could you post this kind of picture? Wouldn’t it be better to send me a private copy?】 

   【Upstairs, you’re done for too. Private message me +1 】

   【To think I’m a majestic and powerful Monoclonius, yet I was stepped on by a mini T-rex. Private message me +2. 】

   【+10086. 】

 

     Finally, the message board began to deviate in a strange direction.

     Ye Mo looked at the mini Tyrannosaurus Rex that was drawn to be about seventy or eighty percent similar : “…”

     …

     Since Watson and Wang Xue were safe, Ye Mo closed the top 100 list and opened the settlement task bar.

   【Overall score S- in the Jurassic dungeon, received the following rewards: Points × 5000 (Only one and a half maps were unlocked, I really didn’t want to give these to you.)

     One set of Tyrannosaurus Rex white bones (edible, but will cause death or vomiting and diarrhea.)

     Fire-attribute spirit jade essence × 1 (Huge profit.)

     Earth-attribute spirit jade essence × 1 (Huge profit.)】

     The evaluation of this dungeon has regressed, and the rewards and points are not very high, which means that she still has a lot of room for improvement.

     Ye Mo is still very pleased that she can have the three spiritual jades of wood, fire and earth.

     Now the only thing missing is the gold spiritual jade! I don’t know if Watson has got the water spiritual jade.

     Thinking about the high price of spirit jade, Ye Mo closed the taskbar: “Check personal attributes.”

——————————

 

     Breaking through from 4th tier to 6th tier psychic ability, the spirit attribute successfully broke through one thousand!

     Ye Mo can now easily transform herself into a Tyrannosaurus Rex or other human figures, and can also freely manipulate living beings.

     Even other intelligent creatures, such as ghosts.

     As for humans, she thinks it’s possible, but hasn’t experimented yet.

     Ye Mo has no dissatisfaction with her attribute values, what makes her uncomfortable is her combat value, after all, dinosaurs and humans are essentially not completely identical creatures.

     For example, the most basic one is that dinosaurs directly gnaw on spiritual jade and eat prey raw. Ye Mo can gnaw on spiritual stones, but it is not necessary.

     But if she absorbs wood spiritual jade now, it will start to damage her body after twenty minutes.

      This is because her real body has not yet reached the thick blood physique of a Tyrannosaurus Rex that is tens of meters long.

     The system gave all survivors a golden finger at the beginning of the Jurassic copy, that is, the dinosaur itself, not only in terms of physique, but also in terms of claws, teeth, tails and other “weapons”, which is a different kind of fairness.

     After leaving the copy, Ye Mo lost her “ultimate weapons” such as claws, tail, teeth, tonnage, and sharp teeth. The swords, knives, arrows, daggers, etc., she once possessed, were all inferior to the Tyrannosaurus Rex’s own growable weapons.

     Even though there are few hot weapons in the real world that can kill her now, perhaps only doomsday weapons could, she still feels a little insecure and longs to transform back into a dinosaur.

     Ye Mo knows that the only way is to adjust her uneasy mindset, constantly improve herself, and conquer herself.

     Moreover, as an alchemist and a master of Mohism, she gained too much inspiration for refining weapons in the Jurassic dungeon, no longer limited to existing weapons.

     She has many more crazy ideas.

     However, these ideas require a lot of innovative technologies, new materials, new equipment to support them, as well as a large amount of experimental data to prove them.

     Ye Mo took three deep breaths, suppressed the idea and desire to study until the end of time, opened the forum, Watson and Wang Xue were not online yet, but the number of private messages was already 999+.

     Among the 20 or 30 friends she added, except for Watson and Wang Xue, other individuals and groups replied, and the content basically started with warm greetings, and most of them mentioned Maria’s shop in their messages.
