Doomsday game, my supplies increased tenfold

Below the rules, there is a line of text introducing the activity.

"The low temperature has made everything in the world lose its vitality. In order to survive in such an extremely harsh environment, people have discovered that they can obtain supplies through fishing. In addition to plump fish and shrimp, various unexpected props are being discovered. This event will convert points based on fishing resources, and rewards will be distributed according to rankings. The cities participating in the ranking in this region are: City 003 and City 004."

To put it simply, it's fishing, but there's a chance of catching something other than fish.

It sounds very safe. It is much safer than cold waves and blizzards. At least you won't have the thought of robbing others. It all depends on your strength.

Everyone must participate in this event, so parents will also be teleported here, and I still have to act with my parents at that time to avoid any accidents.

In the evening, Xiao Qi found his parents and explained the situation to them. He said that they would stay together tomorrow. If nothing unexpected happened, they would be dropped off in the same place.

The parents, who had read the rules but were a little nervous because they had never participated in the event before, felt much more relieved after hearing Xiao Qi's explanation.

Especially Qi's father, when he realized that the ranking was all based on fishing skills, he was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.

"I didn't expect that the interest that your mother said was useless and a waste of money would come in handy tomorrow."

Qi's father has good fishing skills. He doesn't smoke or drink, and his only daily entertainment is fishing. Compared to most people who are unlucky, Qi's father, who can catch more than four or five fish almost every time he goes out, can be said to be a chosen one.

"It was a useless hobby at the time. I would sit there all day, and the few fish I caught couldn't even sell for a hundred dollars. What was the point?"

Mother Qi snorted in dissatisfaction, changed the direction of the beef that she was about to put into Father Qi's bowl, and put it into little Qi's bowl.

"Anyway, it's better than those people who smoke, drink and go out to play cards. Tomorrow's activities still depend on Dad, so don't blame him, Mom. We may be teleported to a fixed place tomorrow. It will probably be very cold. Think about what to prepare first. If you don't have anything, tell me and I'll go to the trading house to exchange some for you. Rankings don't matter. What's important is that your family is safe."

"Then I'll prepare some food to take with me tomorrow. I heard that half of the activity is a full day."

There are not many activities that people look forward to, and this is one of them. Everyone can't stop getting excited at the thought of being able to take away everything they catch, especially the new players who are participating in the event for the first time. They are all eager to try.

It’s the 22nd day of the extreme cold apocalypse, and today’s temperature is minus 26 degrees Celsius.

When Xiao Qi saw the temperature on the thermometer, he rubbed his eyes uncertainly. It was indeed minus 26 degrees Celsius.

The temperature had dropped by two degrees a day before, so today should have been minus 24 degrees, but why was it 26 degrees?

Xiao Qi once suspected that there was something wrong with his thermometer, so he specifically asked other players who had thermometers on the public screen.

Everyone’s answer was minus twenty-six degrees Celsius, so Xiao Qi had no choice but to believe it.

The previous conclusion that the temperature drops by a fixed amount every day has been broken. Does this prove that the temperature may drop by four or five degrees a day in the future? By the time of the last cold wave, the temperature will definitely not be the minus 40 degrees as expected at the beginning?

Xiao Qi's parents had already knocked on the door to invite him to have breakfast. Xiao Qi had no choice but to put the matter aside for the time being.

Today's breakfast is wontons and buns made by Qi's mother herself, saying that eating hot food can provide more energy.

Xiao Qi and his father were happy as long as they had something to eat, and they didn't care about these words that sounded reasonable but not much.

Soon, after having breakfast and obtaining one hundred teleportation essences from the sign-in area, it was time for the event to begin.

As the system voice introduced the rules once again, a white light flashed before their eyes, and then the three of them were teleported to an endless ice field.

Xiao Qi immediately looked around and was relieved to find his parents were by his side.

Fortunately, they had put on thick clothes and used hot packs in advance, otherwise they would have been frostbitten in minutes if they were suddenly thrown into such a place.

On the endless ice surface, new players were constantly teleported in. Most of them gathered in groups of three or five, and most of them were families. It was obvious at a glance that most of them wore heavy clothes when they came, but there were also a few who did not even think about such a thing and wore rather thin clothes, and it was obvious that they were in a relaxed state after lighting the stove at home.

Soon, everyone was teleported.

"Welcome everyone to ice fishing. Next, everyone will receive a supply box and start your fishing."

A supply box appeared in everyone's hands, but Qi's father was not in a hurry to open the box. Instead, he sprinted at the speed of a 100-meter sprint to a larger ice hole, sat directly on the ground, and called Xiao Qi and Qi's mother over.

"Come on, come over here."

Xiao Qi and his mother realized that there were not many ice holes on the ground, but there were many players teleported in. Fishing must have an opening, and judging from the situation of the ice hole in front of them, the ice layer was at least half a meter thick.

After seeing what Xiao Qi and his friends did, most people began to follow their example and rush to occupy the ice hole, but it was too late.

The three of them sat together, and Xiao Qi asked his parents to give the boxes to him so that he could open them himself.

Normally, the items in the box can be doubled and upgraded. If this box can also be upgraded...

"Open the fishing supply box*1, get a primary fishing rod*1, and bait*50."

"Upgrade successfully, get 1 advanced fishing rod and 500 baits."

As expected, it can actually be upgraded.

Xiao Qi looked at the fishing rod in his hand, which seemed more delicate and solid, and handed it to Qi's father. In addition, he also had many more baits than ordinary people.

Fifty baits may not seem like a lot, but if the fishing is too difficult, this is obviously enough for a day.

Then Xiao Qi opened the remaining two boxes. In this way, everyone got a high-level fishing rod and 500 pieces of bait.

Father Qi knew something about fishing. The moment he got the fishing rod, he realized that it was no ordinary item. It was obviously a high-end product with a very high price.

"I didn't expect the system to be so generous. A fishing rod of this level would normally cost five figures, right?"

Of course, Qi's father couldn't afford a fishing rod of this level with his meager pocket money, so today he got to experience the happiness of being rich.

"Look at how ignorant you are. Hurry up and start fishing. With a good fishing rod, you should be able to catch more fish."

Qi's mother directly put the bait on her fishing hook and then threw the rod into the hole.
