Chapter 9 Let's dance around the campfire in high heels!

“Judging from the news you've revealed, if their Survival Talent is applied well, it shouldn't be too bad, right?”

“How miserable are they?”

Lu Xian changed the subject at the right moment, peeling the leftover grilled crab he hadn't eaten yet, and asked.

It can't be that bad, right?

The people in the livestream room answered one after another:

[They definitely can't compare to you.]

[Of the other nine, only five have built a simple shelter. Three have successfully started a fire. Among them, two have neither successfully started a fire nor built a shelter, and are just feeding mosquitoes in the forest.]

[At this moment, the only one grilling by the fire, eating seafood, with bananas on the side, and chatting leisurely is Brother Lu.]

“Uh...”

Lu Xian was stunned for a moment, alright then.

“What are the other people's survival missions?”

The omnipotent audience in the livestream room responded:

[Six people are the same as Brother Lu, ten days of Deserted Island survival. The remaining three are ten days of rainforest survival.]

Lu Xian realized, newcomer missions are basically all like this, wilderness survival.

He chatted with the audience in the livestream room for a while longer, starting to pass the time.

At this point, he had finished off the remaining grilled crab and grilled shellfish.

The forest was dark and gloomy, insects chirped, and fireflies and unknown glowing small plants dotted the night scenery in the forest.

The campfire at the campsite became the brightest existence in the forest.

[Streamer, the environment around you is so dark and gloomy, aren't you afraid?]

[I just came back from a few other newcomer livestream rooms, and some people have already broken down and cried, saying they want to give up.]

Someone asked.

Lu Xian peeled a banana, his gaze couldn't help but scan his surroundings, and then he smiled faintly:

“It's alright. To say I'm not panicked spending the night alone in the forest would be a lie.”

“I have a stick by my side for peace of mind, so I'm not that scared.”

“I can also chat with you all and relax, so my mental state isn't that tense.”

“Besides, in this situation, the more nervous you are, the more it will only make you terrified and break down. So no matter how scared, you have to overcome it.”

It wasn't his first time spending the night outdoors, so his psychological endurance was still able to hold up.

Moreover, once you enter the Survival World, there are only two ways to leave.

Either enjoy the process and complete the mission to clear it.

Or die painfully once and exit permanently.

Everyone in the livestream room looked at Lu Xian, who was calmly eating a banana, and they all had a misconception:

[It seems like he really isn't afraid??]

After chatting for a while, Lu Xian checked his Survival Template.

Only then did he discover that 'Myriad Heavens Express' had a refresh countdown:

3 hours, 36 minutes, 11 seconds.

It should refresh at 12 midnight.

So it's 8:30 PM now?

At the same time, he also saw the current survival duration was:

6 hours, 22 minutes, 02 seconds.

After calculating, he probably entered the Survival World at 2:00 PM local time.

With a reference time and knowing the general time situation, Lu Xian knew what to expect.

Afterwards, he checked the [Achievements].

{You have claimed 9 Achievement Points.}

{You have obtained the following achievements: New Arrival, Talent I, Explorer I, Predator I, Level 1 Camp, Firestarter I, Weapon Novice, Popular, Wild Game Chef I.}

These achievements all stemmed from his actions, the items he crafted, and the livestream room.

For a Survival Challenger, Achievement Points only serve a purpose when redeeming them at mission settlement; just looking at them now is fine.

As for the survival mission, it had not changed; it was still ten days of Deserted Island survival.

“It's quite late, I plan to get some early sleep.”

“I did a lot of physical labor today, I'm a bit tired.”

Lu Xian felt he had chatted enough with the audience in the livestream room, stood up, and said at the right time.

[Alright, goodnight.]

[Then rest early, goodnight.]

[Brother Lu, sweet dreams~ Tomorrow the express will send you a big treasure.]

Everyone responded by sending barrages.

At this moment, Lu Xian thought of something and immediately reminded them:

“Right, speaking of the express delivery.”

“The new round of express delivery time starts in over three hours.”

[Okay, okay, it seems the Talent refresh time is calculated based on the day-night time of your location.]

[I previously thought it started counting from the time of use.]

[So that means it's only 8 or 9 PM there, Brother Lu? You're sleeping so early, just lying there for health? ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶?]

[Exactly, exactly, sleeping for health at 8 or 9 PM? Hurry up and get up, put on high heels and dance a bonfire dance for us, let everyone have some fun ლ(・∀・ )ლ~]

The subsequent barrage comments became cheerful again.

When Lu Xian picked up his stick and entered the tent, his body paused after seeing the barrage:

(ꐦÒ ‸ Ó) Which troll said that...

A bonfire dance is a bonfire dance.

And you want me to wear high heels to dance it?

Don't go too far...

He laughed it off and naturally ignored it.

Entering the tent, inside there was some firewood, the tools used for starting a fire during the day, and the express packaging.

Lu Xian zipped up the tent door, lay down on the moisture-proof mat, let out a long sigh of relief, and said comfortably:

“Finally, I can rest.”

“Being able to have a tent and a moisture-proof mat to sleep in the wild is such a happy and wonderful thing.”

“I have to thank the friend who sent the tent and moisture-proof mat again here, thank you.”

But the barrage wasn't happy:

[You're not thanking the other two, right? You're biased.]

[Exactly, biased. Too sad, not sending express tomorrow...]

Lu Xian didn't know whether to laugh or cry at this, looked at the shoe box and blade box in the corner of the tent, and responded:

“How could that be, I thank you all, I like them all quite a bit.”

“I was just expressing my feelings first.”

[Perfunctory, Family members, this is what men are like.]

[Break up, scumbag~]

Lu Xian shook his head inwardly, waved his hand: “Alright, alright, I'm resting.”

He placed the wooden stick in a convenient position beside him and looked at the tent.

From inside, he could see the light of the campfire outside.

That big log outside should be able to burn for a few hours.

And the viewing perspective of the audience in the livestream room was linked to his perspective; at this moment, the livestream screen was locked inside the tent.

“I hope the first night in the Survival World can go smoothly.”

“At the same time, I look forward to your express delivery tomorrow.”

“Goodnight.”

After praying for a bit, he closed his eyes and entered a resting state.

However, he dared not let his guard down; his ears remained sharp and alert at all times, so if there was any disturbance outside, he could react in time.

As time passed.

Time also arrived at the early morning of the Survival World.

There were still 100,000 people in the livestream room watching his sleeping stream.

And because Lu Xian had done a lot of physical labor during the day, his body was fatigued, and a wave of drowsiness made him fall asleep.

The campfire outside the tent was about to burn out.

The last of the embers shone on the tent, appearing dim and hazy.

Suddenly!

A weird and twisted shadow.

Was projected onto the tent by the dim firelight, swaying and floating.

As if it were slowly approaching...

Everyone in the livestream room saw the horrific scene before them, their pupils dilated, and their hearts suddenly started pounding with fear:

[WTF, WTF, WTF!]

[The surprise is here!]

[What the hell is that shadow outside the tent? Barrage protect me!]

[Hiss... it looks so scary... why would something like this suddenly appear at this time?]

[Brother Lu, Brother Lu, wake up quickly!]

[Streamer, run! There's a ghost outside...]
