A flash of white light, and then Shen Muyu arrived at a familiar place.
Perhaps because it was just dawn, the temperature on the endless grassland had not yet risen, and Shen Muyu directly experienced what it meant to go from extreme heat to extreme cold.
Just a moment ago, the air conditioning was on in the car, but in the blink of an eye, even colder air rushed in.
Having forgotten the nature of the endless grassland, Shen Muyu was still wearing shorts and a short-sleeved shirt, and his hair stood on end from the cold.
After curling up into a ball, they hurriedly ran and stumbled back into the dimensional space. After a while, they put on their gear and returned to the car.
Sitting in the driver's seat, I first glanced at my car's core. Sure enough, the chat interface and the shop were grayed out, only the backpack was still usable.
The same goes for the red car core, and the backpack's amplification effect was retained, meaning she can still use it to obtain some much-needed resources in the future.
"What is this?" Shen Muyu suddenly noticed a transparent, round object on the car's control panel. He didn't know how long it had been there; it was too cold to notice earlier.
The core identification function of the car was also turned off, so Shen Muyu was unable to scan out the specific purpose of this thing.
We can only try to see if it can be activated or something, since apart from the color and texture, its size is quite similar to a car's core.
Sure enough, as soon as I got my hands on it, a semi-transparent light screen with a bluish glow popped out, looking much more advanced than the previous green one.
The layout and functions are largely the same as the previous green screen, except that the regional chat has been changed to the ∩ Galaxy Communication Group, the world chat channel is gone, and a map function has been added.
However, when you open this map, only a small area in the middle is lit up; the rest is dark and cannot be dragged.
Shen Muyu tried it out, and the area that was lit up was the ∩ star system where she was currently located. The Endless Grassland instance world where she was located was just a very inconspicuous little dot in it.
Perhaps because she had been given ownership of the resources in this instance, Shen Muyu was able to directly select the instance's attributes on the map.
Endless Grassland: A barren dungeon world, a tiny planet with no mining value.
Daily energy spillover: 200 units of space particles. >
"Is this overflowing energy the planetary resources I can obtain?" The contents of this light screen were so simple that there was no explanation at all, leaving Shen Muyu completely confused.
Moreover, the organizers hadn't told her how the ownership of these resources would be transferred to her, and she didn't have any special feelings after arriving in this instance world.
"Never mind, things will work themselves out. Maybe we'll find out later." Shen Muyu could only console himself. After all, the core of the car was locked, and there was no one to ask if he wanted to know.
"Oh right, isn't there a new chat area?" Shen Muyu realized and slapped his forehead before opening the chat group.
To her surprise, as soon as she entered the chat interface, she received a friend request from Ji Fei.
"Aaaaaah! We actually got grouped together! I'm on Chibu Island in the main planet, what planet are you on?!"
"I have a spacetime tunnel here that can teleport you to various planets in this galaxy. Do you have one? If not, I can come to you!"
"Wow, this place is so amazing! Their cars can even fly!"
"The manager who introduced me said that as long as I work hard to earn money, I can continue to upgrade my car!"
"But I've heard it's very expensive, and I don't know if it will be able to help me achieve my goal of enjoying the universe."
"The manager even helped me screen some suitable job positions."
"Sigh, but the housing prices here are too expensive. One square meter costs 5 units of space particles. I don't think I can afford to live here in my lifetime."
"Fortunately, there are free parking spaces here, so I can still live in my renovated little nest. But I heard that there are places that sell dimensional spaces here. Although they are generally not very big, they are much cheaper. I plan to see if I can find a bargain and get one."
Although Shen Muyu has not yet accepted Ji Fei's friend request, he can still send her a private message from the group chat.
These messages came in fits and starts, one every now and then. It was probably Ji Fei relaying whatever she heard to her.
Just as Shen Muyu was about to reply to her and inquire about some information, Da Bai suddenly emerged from the dimensional space and was barking anxiously at the car door.
Shen Muyu thought there was a wild animal attack, so he immediately looked up.
The next second, a white halo formed, followed by an oval-shaped object appearing in the same spot.
Shen Muyu nervously covered it with his mental energy, and with a snap, the thing split open in the middle, and a woman walked out.
"A rich woman?" Shen Muyu's mouth dropped open when she saw the figure. Wasn't this the woman who gave her a huge sum of 2,000 in the first supernatural world? She was also the owner of Da Bai in the supernatural world.
Big White barked even louder, its tail wagging so high it almost reached the sky.
"Long time no see." The woman in front of him was wearing a red coat and a small hat of the same color, and she looked at Big White with a smile on her lips.
"Don't be afraid, I just came to see it. Can I come up? It's a bit chilly outside." Perhaps sensing Shen Muyu's surprise and nervousness, the woman said gently.
"Okay, open the door, Little A." When Shen Muyu's spiritual power reached out, it was like a drop of water merging into the ocean, appearing incredibly small. She estimated that even ten of hers couldn't defeat the other person, so she might as well befriend them.
As soon as the door opened, Big White pounced on it, and the woman immediately picked it up, making Shen Muyu feel a pang of jealousy.
Fortunately, Da Bai still loves her. After venting his emotions, he immediately came back to comfort Shen Muyu, indicating that he had not changed his mind.
"Would you like something to drink?" Shen Muyu set up a table in the car and brought out a chair.
The woman sat down very casually.
"Water is fine." The woman hugged Big White again and gently stroked it.
"Okay." Shen Muyu took a bottle of mineral water out of his backpack, but to make it look nicer, he poured it into a cup and placed it in front of the woman.
"What should I call you?" Shen Muyu asked, sitting opposite the woman and noticing the somewhat awkward atmosphere.
"Just call me Jiang Jiang, or you can call me the organizer, I don't mind." The woman, Jiang Jiang, looked at Shen Muyu with a playful smile.
"The organizer?" Shen Muyu's tone became heavier with shock.
"To be precise, we were one of the organizers. Blue Star was discovered by me and my friends, so we also worked on the game together," Jiang Jiang nodded and said.
"Don't be afraid." Perhaps sensing that Shen Muyu wanted to run away, Jiang Jiang said again.
"The game is over. Now we are all interstellar citizens, with the same status. I have no right to kill you anymore. Besides, I gave you this." Jiang Jiang beckoned with her finger, and the red stone in Shen Muyu's pocket suddenly flew over and was caught in her hand.
"You gave this to me?" Shen Muyu frowned as she looked at the red stone in Jiang Jiang's hand. This was her biggest asset in the survival game. Both Xiao A and Zhan Yi were her most trusted team members.
"Don't worry, this core is formed from a small world with very special rules. These things are what it thinks you need most. They have nothing to do with me and are not under my control." Jiang Jiang had already anticipated Shen Muyu's reaction and laughed for a while before speaking.
"Why are you helping me?" Shen Muyu's brows furrowed even more.
"Maybe it's because we're in the same boat. We're both poor souls whose luck was stolen. Someone helped me before, so I'm helping you now to make a good connection," Jiang Jiang said after thinking for a while.
"Stealing fortune?" Shen Muyu was stunned. Could it be Gu Wenchen?
"Yes, it was the guy you killed, what was his name, Gu Wenchen?" Jiang Jiang recalled and said.
"He was possessed by a strange entity. That entity pretended to be a system and fooled him. First, it instigated him to kill the chosen one of Blue Star, the destined male lead of your good friend Ji Fei. I forgot his name, but he's the one who's with her now." Jiang Jiang blinked but couldn't remember.
"Shao Ruixuan?" He's probably the only one left by Ji Fei's side now.
"Yes, yes, that's him. I forgot about him because he logged off so early." Jiang Jiang nodded, her expression becoming much more lively, no longer the somewhat tense look she had at the beginning, and she started talking freely.
"But you're really unfortunate. After acquiring Shao Ruixuan's luck, that strange thing has recovered a lot. You no longer need that kind of large dose of luck, for fear of being blown away. So you set your sights on Ji Fei, wanting a vessel for a steady supply."
"It's a pity that her luck dropped drastically after losing Shao Ruixuan. Coincidentally, you also appeared at the beach that day, and that strange thing chose you again because your luck was already quite good."
"They used what they got from Shao Ruixuan to deceive you, and you know what happened next." Jiang Jiang clicked her tongue regretfully.
"Fortunately, your willpower is strong, and you broke through that membrane, otherwise you would probably be gone by now."
"Isn't this the will of Heaven? It's because she's a cannon fodder female supporting character that she has to go through this kind of plot." Shen Muyu was stunned after hearing Jiang Jiang's words. This was different from what she had sensed.
"Please, who would come up with such a morally questionable plot? It's because your self-awareness is too strong that the weird thing can only deceive you from a different angle. Otherwise, if you completely break free from it, you will suffer a backlash." Jiang Jiang pouted.
"So the reason I'm living such a miserable life is because of them?" Shen Muyu was dumbfounded. She thought she had awakened, but it turned out to be only a half-awakened one? What male and female leads, what cannon fodder female supporting characters, were all fake?
"Yes, that strange thing realized you were about to break free from its illusion, so it slightly altered your awakening. Then, it influenced the people around you to make you believe in what you perceived, so you couldn't turn the tables and could only continue to have your luck drained." Jiang Jiang nodded.
"Are Ji Fei and the others like this too?" Shen Muyu couldn't help but ask, recalling the reactions of Ji Fei and the people around Gu Wenchen before.
"Yes, they were all deceived, but not to the extent that you were deceived. The influence will gradually decrease as they get further away."
"Damn it, where's that weirdo?! Where is it?" Shen Muyu slammed his fist on the table and stood up, his eyes practically spitting fire.
"It didn't qualify for the survival game, so I eliminated it directly," Jiang Jiang said softly.
Shen Muyu sat down in a daze after hearing this.
"What's past is past, your better days are yet to come." Seeing Shen Muyu's state, Jiang Jiang couldn't help but advise him. When she found out about her situation, she wasn't much better off than Shen Muyu, but life goes on.
"I understand," Shen Muyu said with a sigh.
"When can my mom and dad come back to me?" Shen Muyu didn't know how she felt, but now that she had avenged herself, she had to move on.
"It'll be quick. They're settling your family's expenses. Once you hand over the money, it will be teleported to you. It should be ready in another day or two," Jiang Jiang said, taking a sip of water.
"Okay, I understand, thank you." After calming down, Shen Muyu didn't know whether what Jiang Jiang said was true or false, but for some reason, she inexplicably believed it to be true. Could it also be a kind of deception?
Forget it, what's the point of worrying about this? Let it be.
"I mainly came to see it. As for the rest, don't worry too much about it. Just consider this a story I told you. You'll know more when your life level improves."
Given Jiang Jiang's current abilities, it was too easy for her to sense Shen Muyu's emotions, so she didn't say anything more. After all, she was only half-believing and half-doubting at the time, but she naturally understood later.
"Life level?" Shen Muyu accurately caught what he wanted to hear.
"Yes, reaching the peak of strength will raise your life level. That's why we sent you to the zombie world. After all, the Alliance doesn't support useless people."
"The road ahead is still long, let's explore it slowly. Saying too much will only confuse you."
"Just remember that there are infinite possibilities in the universe."
"I should go too, I need to hurry and find the next resource star system." Jiang Jiang stroked Big White a couple more times before standing up.
"Can I do these things in the future?" Shen Muyu stood up as well.
"Of course! I grew up like you." Jiang Jiang nodded with a smile.
"How can I leave this planet and go to other places? And in what form will the resources of this planet be given to me?" Shen Muyu asked again as soon as Jiang Jiang set off.
"There are many ways. You can upgrade your car or buy a time tunnel. The planet you chose has no value, so it has never been developed. You'll have to arrange it yourself from now on, which will cost a lot of money. As for resources, they will be automatically sent to your personal backpack at the end of each day."
"I remember that this kind of planet only releases about 200 units of space particles of energy per day," Jiang Jiang replied after thinking for a moment.
"Save money. Developing star systems or interstellar travel are both very expensive. You'll understand as time goes on. You can ask around in chat groups; there are plenty of helpful people online who can answer your questions." After saying this, Jiang Jiang got off the car and returned to her egg.
"Oh, right, here's this back. Since I've given it to you, it's yours. It's okay if you don't dare use it for now. You'll naturally feel its ownership after you level up." Jiang Jiang tossed the red stone to Shen Muyu. The egg closed and it disappeared instantly, at an extremely fast speed.
"Why are you running so fast?" Shen Muyu grabbed the red stone, pursed her lips, and closed the car door.
"Xiao A, let's go find Li Shiyi. We'll probably have to stay in their village for a while. I wonder how they're doing now." Shen Muyu smiled as she looked at the spot where Jiang Jiang had left, then said casually.
The past is the past, and it shouldn't affect the present no matter what. She believes her wonderful life has just begun!
