Chapter 206 The eagle catches the chick
After Lu Youyou called out twice, the navigation system stopped reporting the presence of unfamiliar vehicles.
“Master, there’s no unfamiliar scent anymore,” Xiao Hei said.
Xiao Hei's keen perception has a wider range than navigation. Only after hearing Xiao Hei say this did Lu Youyou realize that the other side really hadn't followed.
So the driver of the car behind was actually a good person?
However, Lu Youyou's doubts were destined to remain unanswered, because no one knew what had happened.
hum~
The watch vibrated.
Lin Xuan has sent you a gift and has automatically become your friend.
Lu Youyou had no doubt that Lin Xuan recognized her, after all, her image had been spared by the adults in the live broadcast.
But why did Lin Xuan give her a gift?
Lu Youyou opened the backpack compartment, and the first compartment contained the gift from Lin Xuan.
A wig, jet black, curly, and soft.
Lu Youyou: ? ? ?
Unable to understand, she took the initiative to send a message to Lin Xuan.
[Player 6666: Why did you send me a wig?]
[Lin Xuan: Big sister, aren't you going to ask me how I found you?]
[Player 6666: My information has already been exposed. It all depends on how good or bad your memories are.]
[Lin Xuan: Okay, big sister, you can't hide anything from me. I think your hair hasn't grown back yet, so I'll give you a wig. It'll look nice and keep you warm.]
[Player 6666: Thank you for your kindness, but I don't like wearing wigs.]
Lu Youyou returned the wig to Lin Xuan and reached out to touch her own head.
The stubble was stiff and prickly, a stark contrast to her usual smooth, long hair.
In the past, Lu Youyou might have felt sad for a while, but now she has let go of it.
Her goal is to live better and go further, not to care about how good-looking she is.
[Sizzle...]
The watch suddenly made a sound, which was especially noticeable in the quiet space.
Lu Youyou's heart skipped a beat.
That sound again!
Have the adults come up with some new dungeon game to torture the survivors again?!
As if confirming Lu Youyou's guess, the watch emitted a serious adult voice.
[Hello everyone! It's been a long time since we've participated in a dungeon game, and I'm sure you've missed it too, right? Don't worry, a new dungeon game is coming soon! It will last for seven days, no registration required, and everyone will automatically participate.]
[This game is called "Chase and Escape," also known as "Eagle Catches Chicks." The eagle scores one point for catching the chick, and loses one point if the chick is caught and cannot escape. Otherwise, the score remains unchanged. That should be easy to understand, right?]
[Detailed information will be explained by the panel assistant later. The chase game will launch promptly at 6:00 AM tomorrow. We look forward to your reactions, little chickens!]
[Sizzle…]
The adult's enthusiastic voice disappeared, but Lu Youyou's words still echoed in her mind.
One point is added when the eagle catches a chick, and one point is subtracted when the chick is caught; otherwise, the score remains unchanged.
This little chick doesn't even get any extra points; if it gets caught once, it's dead.
Given her luck... it's very likely to be a chick.
Lu Youyou looked distressed and let out a deep sigh.
"Xiao Lu, tell me the details of the dungeon."
Hello, I'm here. The instance information is loading, please be patient.
buzzing-
A heated discussion broke out on the public screen, so loud that Lu Youyou's wrists were shaking.
[Visual: So in the end, this game will filter out the unlucky ones, right? Whoever is the chicken is unlucky.]
[Boom! Explosion! My luck is so unpredictable, sometimes I can't even tell if I'm unlucky or lucky. I bet nobody's more anxious than me!]
[Player 78999: The best-case scenario is that the lucky person becomes the chick and the unlucky person becomes the eagle, so the eagle can't catch the chick and nobody dies.]
[Player 688923: No, who said I was going to die? Didn't the master talk about points? Or were they talking about my fate?]
【…】
Lu Youyou watched for a while longer, but couldn't bear to watch for more than a minute. The people on the screen were just too aggressive.
"Trail."
Hello, I am loading copy information. Please do not ask me to do anything.
"Ugh!"
Lu Youyou sighed again. The dungeon information had been loading continuously since just now. Was there really that much dungeon information?
Three minutes later, the path made a "ding" sound.
[Copy information has been loaded. Would you like to view it?]
"Let's look it up," Lu Youyou said.
The watch vibrated, and a blank sheet of paper appeared on the main screen, with messages gradually unfolding.
1. Your identity is not static; it will change from chick to eagle from time to time.
2. To improve everyone's gaming experience, the 100-meter no-turnback restriction has been removed in this instance.
3. Eagles can only catch chicks with a special net, and chicks can only escape with special scissors; otherwise, the capture or escape will be ineffective.
4. Upon the first identity change, either [Catching Net*3] or [Special Scissors*3] will be automatically refreshed. If you are short of items, you can exchange them with points.
5. This is a chase game, not a murder game. Players must unite and cooperate and must not intentionally kill. Violators will have their score reduced by "3", and the panel assistant will eliminate players with scores below "0".
There were five messages in total, less than 200 words, which Lu Youyou read over and over again more than ten times.
She then concluded that this instance of the game was better than she had imagined.
First, players who are chickens will have 3 special scissors. Points will be deducted if they fail to escape, meaning chicken players have 3 extra lives.
Secondly, although there is no possibility of gaining extra points while playing as a chick, a chick can become an eagle, and you can accumulate points while playing as an eagle.
Finally, since the eagle could only use a net to catch chicks and couldn't kill them indiscriminately, the chicks had a better chance of surviving.
Thinking of this, Lu Youyou breathed a sigh of relief. As long as she didn't die at the very beginning, she could still put up a fight.
but…
It would be best to turn her into an eagle. With more points accumulated, she won't be so easily killed by a few nets when she's a chick.
The thought of the game starting tomorrow morning made Lu Youyou's heart pound.
She was eager to do something to prepare for the life ahead.
At that time, danger lurked everywhere, and there would certainly be no time to cook, so fast food became highly sought after, but she rarely ate fast food.
If she can think of this, others certainly can too.
Buying ready-made food from other people is not only limited in quantity, but also more expensive than usual, so it's not worth it.
Lu Youyou took a deep breath and decided to make her own pre-cooked meals and freeze them so she could reheat them in the microwave whenever she wanted to eat them.
While it may not be as convenient as fast food from outside, it is healthier.
She's going to use today's time to cook all the meat on the rooftop!
It also helped her finish off the vegetables in her backpack.
There's a time flow in her backpack; her vegetable leaves are wilting, and they'll spoil if she doesn't finish them soon.
Without further ado, Lu Youyou dressed, went up to the roof, and put all the frozen meat stored in the storage box into her backpack before taking it downstairs.
Waiting for meat to thaw naturally takes too long, but thankfully microwave ovens have a built-in defrost function.
Lu Youyou stood in front of the microwave oven for more than an hour.
During this time, she took every opportunity to wash vegetables.
By the time the meat had thawed, she had almost finished washing the vegetables.
After setting the vegetables aside to drain, she had to immediately start cutting the meat.
