Deadly Game: Almighty Boss’s Guide to Making Money

Chapter 269: Survival in the Desert Again (269)

No matter how the audience in the live broadcast room analyzed, the system did not deduct any money. The main theme was mystery and silence is golden.

Lin Xi and the others took advantage of the lukewarm weather and looked for food when they saw it, and collected firewood when they saw it. The system did not mention food, but mentioned water, which should be water brought from outside and can be drunk.

But everyone still filled up their mineral water bottles in case of emergency.

Xiao Guo and Li Xi also shot a skunk, took it to the waterside, gutted and skinned it, and said they could roast it and eat it.

We worked until noon and nothing unexpected happened. The temperature rose very high, already reaching 30 degrees.

"Don't use that tent. It's not worth it if you violate the taboo." Lin Xi said. "Those of you who want to go into the tent can go in. Those who don't want to go in can rest under a tree. Let's eat something first. Let's roast these two skunks first. But there's no salt, so I don't know how they taste."

In fact, she had salt in her backpack, but it was not within the available range as stated by the system, and she did not plan to use it.

There are only twenty-four hours left. As long as nothing unexpected happens, survival will be a problem. Why take the risk of touching the taboo?

She didn't want to lose her life because of a little salt.

There were seven people in total, and each of them got a little skunk meat, but it was better than nothing. They also ate some sea buckthorn and drank some water.

"When the temperature drops in the afternoon, everyone can take turns to sleep. If it's too cold at night, try not to sleep," said Lin Xi.

"Okay, I'm not afraid of the heat, I'll go to sleep now." Xiao Guo said.

After experiencing high temperatures of 40 or 50 degrees, when I saw the temperature drop to 30 degrees, I didn’t feel it was too hot psychologically.

"We'll watch over you," Li Xi said with a smile. "We can also fan you."

"No need to fan me, I'll sleep under the tree. If the temperature rises, just call me. If it drops, call me too and you go to sleep." Xiao Guo said as he spread broken branches and hay on the ground, covered it with a piece of clothing, and began to sleep.

Others sat under the shade of the trees, not chatting, but observing their surroundings and occasionally looking at the live broadcast room.

The temperature remained at 30 degrees and did not rise at all. Many people began to sleep, except Lin Xi and Song Ci.

The two of them were not idle, and continued to look for food nearby. They also made seven simple torches with branches and tree oil, just in case.

It was past two o'clock and everyone got up without being called.

"You two go to sleep, we'll stay nearby and find some more fruit and food." Huang Jingjing said. "Fruits and insects for dinner should be enough. No midnight snacks, just warm yourself by the fire. After tonight, we'll be victorious."

"Okay, go ahead!" Lin Xi said, closing his eyes.

——Have the last twenty-four hours been so easy?

——It’s not easy, mainly because they were well prepared.

——Yes, breakfast was eaten quickly, there was meat for lunch, insects for dinner, and wild fruits, although they were small. The key was to have water.

——It must be very unbearable when it’s cold at night! However, it shouldn’t be as cold as last time.

——I’m too lazy to go to other dungeon live broadcast rooms, so I’ll just stay here and watch the desert tour.

——There are no restrictions when traveling, you can eat anything you bring, okay!

Lin Xi had already fallen asleep. Whether the audience was there or not, whether they gave her tips or not, had nothing to do with her. She just wanted to sleep.

When she woke up, it was already past four in the afternoon and the temperature was around 20 degrees Celsius. She was covered with a thick piece of clothing, which should have been put on her by Huang Jingjing.

"So safe?" Lin Xi smiled, a little surprised. "I thought something unexpected would happen."

——No, your feeling of 123 is not accurate anymore.

——I think this is great. I can enjoy the desert scenery while eating.

——To be honest, the sunrise and sunset in the desert are quite beautiful.

——It’s okay, I mainly want to see 123.

--what sound?

——Here it comes, 123, what's wrong with your mouth, isn't an accident happening?

Everyone heard the noise and looked towards where the sound came from.

Soon, they saw a huge locust crawling towards them.

"Damn, has this mutated?" Xiao Guo exclaimed, and then asked. "What should I do?"

"It's just one." Lin Xi said softly. "Everyone, prepare your knives and torches and gather together."

As Lin Xi spoke, he took out a lighter and lit his own torch first. Then everyone came over and lit their torches, holding a knife in one hand and a torch in the other.

——It’s a pity that props cannot be used, otherwise 123 would just be a hammer.

——Here it is, right in front of me, so fast.

——But it moves very slowly. Is it because it is too big?

——This locust is obviously coming for the player, okay!

——Yes, whose locusts are so big?

The seven men immediately raised their torches and rushed towards the locusts. Lin Xi not only threw the torches at the locusts, but also picked up a lot of branches from the ground and threw them directly at the locusts.

With the aerial torch and a pile of dry firewood, the locust was still moving forward, but soon it turned into a fire locust.

This locust was already very large, and its body was covered in fire, but it still wanted to charge forward.

"Everyone, spread out and run, don't let it catch up." Lin Xi shouted.

The locust could no longer see the direction, jumped around twice, and then fell down, with the fire still on its body.

Lin Xi quickly ran back, picked up a large branch beside him, and started to put out the fire.

The others didn't ask why and started to put out the fire.

Soon, the fire on the locusts was put out.

"It smells so good!" Huang Jingjing exclaimed.

"We have dinner for today." Lin Xi threw down the branch in his hand, clapped his hands, and took out a knife. "We can't finish two legs."

"Great." Song Ci sniffed. "Some parts should be burnt, and some parts are not cooked through. Let's cut off the legs and roast them properly."

——So, the system assigned a locust to bring them food, right!

——Did 123 and Song Ci know the plot in advance? Why did they prepare torches?

——I’ve said it before, 123’s intuition is always accurate.

——Besides, there is darkness. In case of any unexpected situation, we have to leave the fire and prepare torches, which is normal!

——Oh, yes. The others were roasting locust legs, and 123 and Song Ci went to prepare torches.

Lin Xi and Song Ci did not get many torches this time. They simply made two and then couldn't wait to join the ranks of roasting locust legs.

Soon, the meat was roasted. Although there was no salt, everyone still enjoyed it very much.

Mainly because we were hungry, no one had enough at noon.

After finishing the meal, Lin Xi drank a few sips of water and said with a smile: "After returning, I have to learn how to find salt in the desert. If there is salt, this locust leg will taste better."

"That's pretty good." Xingye smiled. "I thought we were going to roast those bugs."

"Bugs are also high in protein." Lin Xi said with a smile. "Let's eat them as a midnight snack later. We won't be sleeping anyway."
