Chapter 271: Chapter 163 Ice Fishing Festival_3

The treasure box could not be opened by a lockpick or a pry bar, it required a key.

Lin Wu added a sentence that made Shana’s heart sink, "Could it be that only the corresponding key can open the treasure box?"

"Focus on fishing, no cursing allowed." Shana, flustered, sounded more like she was throwing a fit gently.

"The key." Lin Wu looked surprised at the key symbol on the fish’s head.

Shana acted swiftly to grab the key, gave Lin Wu a smug smile, then began to feel a headache. With ten treasure boxes on the ground, which one should she open first? While Shana was still trying to recall which fish corresponded to each box, Lin Wu took the key, inserted it straight into the nearest treasure box’s keyhole, provoking Shana to shout desperately, "Let me think."

The box was already open. The good news was that it didn’t require a matching key, and the better news was that the box contained a green Point Card. After using the green card, one’s total points permanently increased by 0.5%, valid for 10 minutes. The 10 minutes didn’t refer to the duration but meant that the card would become invalid if not used within 10 minutes.

Shana turned away and sniffed, "Take it, don’t speak." She, of course, knew there was a huge gap between her and Lin Wu’s points. Given that, it was clear that the Point Card should be given to Lin Wu.

Lin Wu didn’t hesitate to use the Point Card and continued to fish, saying, "Why can’t we check the points yet?"

Shana replied, "This might be a good thing." The huge disparity meant she hadn’t truly given up hope.

"Oh?" Lin Wu didn’t understand, how is that a good thing?

Shana explained, "Last time, Little White Rabbit mentioned that in the future, a system for exchanging points for items will be introduced, and Dawn planned to deplete players’ points through the item system. Without temptation, there’s no need for decision-making. For example, you and Maya are the only two members of the supermarket base, and neither of you are married. Suppose Maya dies, you have the option to sacrifice half your points to buy an item to resurrect her without any loss. Do you buy it or not?"

Lin Wu asked, "I spend half my points to resurrect Maya, and Maya won’t suffer any loss?"

"Right."

Lin Wu said, "I choose to die myself and let Maya resurrect me." The dead person is fine, but the living person loses half the points, is there no justice? Is there no reason?

Good Lord! She shouldn’t have gotten to know him. Shana sighed helplessly and decided to steer away from this topic, "If your guess is correct, and the Fishing Festival is an opportunity for all players to relax specially provided by the system, then it means that Dawn is about to implement even more stringent rules."

Lin Wu asked, "Doctor?" This was the conclusion everyone had discussed during a boring blizzard, and the next target for cuts would definitely be the sickbed. First, the functionality of the sickbed was just too variable, and second, the role of doctors, which used to be very important in the post-apocalypse, was insignificant in the game.

Including the Hunter, Fishermen who could obtain food, and Doctors who could treat diseases—these two professions should be the most important in a post-apocalyptic survival scenario. At present, food had been nerfed, and although it still retained the function of not spoiling, everyone agreed that food would not be cut down any further for the time being.

Lin Wu said, "Medical books are not uncommon."

Shana nodded, "So now we can’t guess how the Doctor profession will be updated, but most people believe that sickbeds will definitely be Dawn’s next target."

Fire Dance didn’t come again, and Lin Wu forgot about Fire Dance’s existence, immersing himself entirely in the joy of fishing. Along with the opening of each treasure box, there was fun, cursing, and even a joy in cursing. When tired, he put down the fishing rod and lay down on a beach chair, when thirsty, he drank a chilled Pepsi can (if interested in cooperation, please contact. Specify product is canned, not sugar-free, not lime, not blue can, will do the job with a sample.), when hungry, there were barbecued meats, grilled fish.

After the sun had set and the moon had risen, torches were lit all around the tent area. Grabbing a blanket to cover himself, he could comfortably doze off on the beach chair for a while.

This is life.
