NOVEL NEXT Chapter 9 - Good Night
According to the arrangement of the survival game program team, all adventurers need to interact with the audience in the live broadcast room once or twice a day.
Mai Dongzi did not intend to communicate with those viewers. Even if the program team sent her a reminder message, she would just pretend not to see it.
After eating and drinking, Mai Dongzi dealt with the remaining mutant wolf meat.
A mutant wolf still has a lot of meat, and she only ate one-sixth of it. She cut the remaining wolf meat neatly into strips the size of three fingers, boiled it in water, strung it with vines, and hung it on high branches.
At this time, the sun on the Blue Water Star had already set, and the temperature began to drop in a parabolic state.
Mai Dongzi remembered that the information said that the climate of the Blue Water Star was somewhat polarized and that the temperature in the desert at night would drop to more than ten degrees below zero.
In this extremely dry and cold weather, wolf meat can easily dry out, so she thought of making the meat into jerky so that she could use it as dry food when it was inconvenient to cook.
But without salt, the jerky wouldn’t taste very good.
Her primary goal for tomorrow is to make salt.
The lake water here is a bit salty, so it’s easy to get salt.
After making the mutant wolf meat, it was completely dark.
In the east of the Blue Water Star, a crescent moon rose. There was not enough light, so the night was very dark.
The sky of the Blue Water Star is very clean, and the stars in the dark night are extremely bright.
The desert is not peaceful at night, and many nocturnal animals go to the small lake in the oasis to drink water.
The area of the oasis is not large—only more than a thousand square meters. Maidongzi’s mental power has always covered the entire oasis, and she knows what animals have entered the oasis.
Mai Dongzi lit a fire behind a large rock, and the fire did not shine on the lake, so the mutant beasts that entered the oasis from other directions were not alarmed.
Of the animals that were alarmed, none dared to attack Mai Dongzi. The frightened ones quickly ran away.
Mai Dongzi originally planned to sit down and drink some water before going to rest. But when she finished drinking the water, she found a mutant cat entering the oasis, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
People who followed Mai Dongzi saw her use the wood-related ability to make a shrub produce a lot of tender leaves, and then she picked those tender leaves, kneaded out the leaf juice, and applied it to the outside of her clothes.
The clothes worn by the explorers were all combat uniforms of the Blue and Black Empire Army, which could adapt to any environment and were waterproof. Although the leaf juice could not penetrate into the clothes, it was enough to leave stains and smells.
At first, everyone didn’t understand what she was doing until they saw that after she finished doing these things, she actually quietly went around in the dark, lurking by the lake, and attacked the strange beasts that came to the lake to drink water. The “fragile” first-level strange beast was nailed on the forehead by a flying dagger, and fell down with a bang, becoming the prey of the fake daughter.
The fake daughter’s move left many viewers in the live broadcast room speechless. In an interstellar civilization with extremely fast information flow, there are still many idiots, but being stupid does not mean having no vision. The fake daughter’s silent lurking, her accurate knife-flying skills, and her extremely calm eyes all confirmed one thing once again.
This fake daughter is completely inconsistent with the rumors on the interstellar network. No one can say that such a person is useless against their will.
If Mai Dongzi watched the live broadcast, she would find that no one would speak of the real daughter and the fake daughter in a contemptuous tone anymore.
Even if someone still insisted on speaking sarcastically, not many people would agree with them. Instead, they would suspect whether these people had a purpose.
Destroy the reputation of the fake daughter.
Some people even began to reflect on why the real and fake daughters were so widely spread on the Internet and why there were rumors that the fake daughter was useless and incompetent.
Mai Dongzi was very happy to skin and gut the mutant cat, cut out pieces of meat, and then wrap them with large leaves and put them into the space backpack.
In her previous life, she had eaten mutant cats. The meat was tender and delicious. Although the mutant cats in the desert were not the same as those in the forest, she believed the taste would not be much different. The mutant cats were not big, with only more than 100 kilograms of meat. Mai Dongzi was reluctant to use the mutant cat meat and prepared to use it all to make broth.
After finishing all this, it was already past nine o’clock in the evening. Mai Dongzi went to the lake to wash her face and hands and went to bed.
At this time, the temperature should have been only about three or four degrees, but Mai Dongzi didn’t feel cold, and her clothes were slightly warm.
With this set of clothes, she didn’t have to worry about keeping warm.
In addition, this combat suit also has the function of cleaning the body. You don’t need to take a shower for a short period of time and can still maintain a certain degree of cleanliness.
Of course, it won’t work for a long time. Apart from other things, the hair must be washed.
Mai Dongzi didn’t know whether the live broadcast equipment was always filming. Before the bathroom was built, she didn’t want to take a shower in public.
As for taking a bath in the lake in the oasis, Mai Dongzi didn’t consider it at all.
There are powerful mutated aquatic animals in this lake. When she was taking water from the lake, she released her fifth-level psychic power to suppress the patient and expel the mutated aquatic animals so that she could get relatively clean and safe water.
The people in the program group knew that there were mutated aquatic animals in the lake, and the information provided by the military made it very clear.
In order not to be discovered by others, Mai Dongzi just suppressed and expelled the cleansing water. She left the safe zone about one meter away and also made quick movements.
However, this was only to avoid suspicion temporarily. If she had not been attacked by mutant aquatic animals while fetching water, she might eventually aroused some suspicion.
This suspicion should not be a big problem, but if she jumped into the lake to swim, the impact would be great.
After Mai Dongzi entered the wooden house, she did not rest immediately but meditated to cultivate her spiritual power. In her current situation, she had to quickly restore her seventh-level spiritual power.
The people in the live broadcast room saw that she did not come out after entering the wooden house and knew that she was resting, so they turned to look at other adventurers. There is no harm without comparison. Compared with Mai Dongzi, who had a comfortable tree house to rest in, the rest methods of other adventurers seemed bland.
Either they found caves or tree holes, or they made hammocks with parachutes and hung them high.
On the Star Network, the rumor that the fake daughter would not survive a day had quietly disappeared at some point.
Shuilan Star Army Base.
When it was time to rest, everyone returned to their rooms.
The young prince did not go to bed but opened the video again, repeatedly watching the scene where Mai Dongzi killed the mutant wolf and the process of her building the wooden house.
Finally, the young prince thought for a long time, dialed a signal, and ordered in a deep voice: “Find someone to record the words and deeds of the Xi family master, his wife, and Erica Xi, especially when they are alone. If there is anything unusual, report it to me immediately.”
“Yes, Your Highness.” A young girl’s voice came out.
“Also, arrange for some people to approach Miss Lucy Xi. I want you to protect her.”
“Yes.”
