Doomsday Train, I went crazy by hoarding billions of items.

Chapter 16 Precision Shooting
Jiang Ran opened the message.

Whirlwind Slash: "Brother, do you have any hemostatic bandages and anti-inflammatory medicine? And if you have any heatstroke medicine, give me some too."

Li Dazhuanfei: "Am I some kind of wishing well?"

[Whirlwind Slash initiates a trade request: Precision Shot Skill Card *1.]

Jiang Ran, who had originally thought, "I overpaid for the heatstroke medicine last time, so I must rip him off this time," shamefully became tempted after seeing the items for the transaction.

The fact that he didn't keep the skill card that could enhance his combat power for himself, but instead hurriedly traded it to her, can only mean one thing: his life is under threat.

Since that's the case, if I don't raise the price, Jiang Ran will sit up at two in the morning and slap herself.

She replied with just two words: "That's it?"

Whirlwind Slash: "..."

He was so anxious that he even sent a voice message: "Brother, this is the most valuable thing I have. I can tell you don't lack supplies, so this should be very useful to you."

"If I die, it will go with me. And if you want anything else, just name it. Even if I don't have it, I can give you an IOU!"

A hint of surprise flashed in Jiang Ran's eyes: Although the Whirlwind Slash's voice was weak, it sounded like that of a young girl.

However, it's perfectly normal to choose a gender-ambiguous name to protect oneself.

Jiang Ran thought for a moment: "I can give you a roll of hemostatic bandage, a strip of anti-inflammatory medicine, and a tube of heatstroke medicine. You give me the skill card and write me an IOU for 10 crafting table fragments."

The moment she sent those words, the IOU and transaction request arrived together.

In the game, the IOU is more like an agreement. The debtor needs to pledge a certain amount of their life points. If the debt is not repaid within the specified time, the pledged life points will be deducted double and half of them will be returned to the creditor.

Perhaps because he was already in debt, Whirlwind Slash sent another message: "Bro, can I get another bottle of electrolyte water on credit?"

Jiang Ran looked at the 80 life points pledged on the IOU and the requirement to repay within a month, clicked confirm, and then put the supplies into the aura, adding two more bottles of water for her.

Whirlwind Slash immediately replied, "Thanks, bro!"

Jiang Ran didn't correct her, but instead started studying the skill card.

The skill cards she has obtained can be roughly divided into three categories: one is skills that are not very scientific and better reflect the nature of games; another is skill cards with special effects; and the last is skills that are more realistic and can be learned.

It's hard to say which is better; after all, it's just a matter of whether you can use it or not.

Clearly, for Jiang Ran right now, accurate shooting is the skill she desires most.

[Precision Shooting (Level D): Within 50 meters, 100% hit rate for all types of ranged weapons; hit rate decreases continuously between 50 and 100 meters (the specific degree of decrease depends on the player's own accuracy, but will not fall below the player's lowest hit rate).]

Jiang Ran habitually clicked on the "D-level" label.

[Upgrade Materials: Spectral Falcon Eyeball (0/5), Explosive Rat Meat (0/5). After upgrade, the range is doubled.]

It turns out that it uses the same upgrade materials as the previous skill "Eagle Eye". Perhaps it's because they are both related to eyesight?
However, she had never encountered YuYuHan or BoomBoomRat in her previous life, nor had she seen anyone mention them.

Perhaps the chests containing these two creatures haven't been opened yet, or perhaps they're too dangerous to appear in previous dungeons.

After tidying herself up, Jiang Ran mustered up her courage and stepped out of the safe house where the temperature was just right.

As soon as the door opened, a suffocating heat wave hit her, and Jiang Ran, who had been dry, was instantly soaked with sweat.

It was only a little past nine in the morning, and the game panel showed a temperature of 44 degrees Celsius. And this was still inside the mountain; Jiang Ran couldn't even imagine how hot the ground outside, exposed to direct sunlight, would be.

By now everyone had realized that hiding in the cave was the safest option. Although it was still scorching hot, digging deeper inside would eventually make it a little cooler than outside.

The chat room was full of discussions about how, given the outdoor temperature and sunlight, even wearing ordinary sun protection clothing wouldn't last more than half an hour. It was better to stay in the cave and dig for rocks; let whoever wanted to go to the lava area go.

Without proper equipment, venturing into a lava area would likely result in dehydration within twenty minutes.

After adjusting to the temperature, Jiang Ran removed the stone blocking the cave entrance and walked towards the lava pool.

Only she knew that after 18 p.m. today, even the idea of ​​"safely hiding in a cave" would become a luxury.

Jiang Ran replenished her electrolytes while wiping ice packs on her neck and elbows, and sighed as she looked at the magma, which had become noticeably more active.

If she could, she would also like to nestle in a relatively cooler rock layer and tap on the stones.

However, the number and quality of the boxes in the magma pool are much higher than those in the rock layer, since the range and uncertainty of the rock are much greater than those in the pool.

Jiang Ran quickened her retrieval efforts; she had other tasks to complete today and could only spend half a day at most.

While retrieving the top, I pondered how to deal with the small spinning top.

After retrieving the wooden box for the fourth time and pulling out a piece of sour meat, Jiang Ran sighed: Suddenly, she felt a little reluctant to finish the little spinning top.

But it's just a thought.

Jiang Ran didn't want to leave herself with a potentially huge enemy, even if that enemy hadn't noticed her yet.

Since she assumed her luck wasn't great today, Jiang Ran decided to keep searching until she got the last box, then go back to prepare for her evening work.

And the surprise came precisely when no one had any expectations.

Jiang Ran felt a sudden heaviness in her hand and instinctively lifted the net.

Then a sliver of golden light slowly peeked out from the magma.

Jiang Ran: !!!
Upon seeing the long-awaited golden treasure chest, Jiang Ran was almost moved to tears.

After carefully storing the treasure chest, she happily returned to her cave with her clothes, which were so thick they could practically shake out a bag of salt.

Jiang Ran held a gun in one hand and a half-length iron rod in the other, prying open the golden treasure chest.

Luck continued; no dangerous creatures appeared inside, but instead, a prop card lay quietly.

Jiang Ran picked up the prop card, and her eyes lit up after she saw the details!
[Item. Teleport (Single): Costs 1000 health points to teleport to a player. Within half an hour, the player can choose to return to their initial coordinates (must know the other player's real name and coordinates).]

With pick-up and drop-off service included, this is practically a tool designed for assassination!
So you spent your entire morning's worth of unpacking luck on this item card?

Jiang Ran expressed great satisfaction.

She earnestly hoped that before she went to find the little spinning top tomorrow, he could get more items or skill cards.

After all, once you miss out on someone as unlucky as him, it's hard to find another one.

Jiang Ran was in a great mood. She put the stone back in the hole, then mixed a bunch of cement and sand to fill all the gaps before returning to the safe house to quietly wait for the first volcanic eruption.
