Cataclysm: Precognition system vs. luck system

The next morning, the sky finally cleared of darkness and the blood moon disappeared, but it was not sunny. The sky was gray and hazy as if it was a cloudy day, just like everyone's mood, which was gloomy and not bright.

Yesterday, weirdness descended upon the entire world. Waves of weirdness were released one after another, and the human side suffered heavy losses. Various factory and industrial chains were severely damaged. Factories stopped production, shops closed, and the bustling commercial streets became desolate and deserted in one day, occupied by wandering weirdness. Only people from the weirdness special office, players, and special patrol officers on duty passed by hurriedly on the streets. The rest of the ordinary people could only huddle at home and shiver.

But even staying at home does not necessarily mean being safe. Many unlucky people find that even if they close the doors and windows tightly in homes with dense ghosts around them, they cannot prevent ghosts from invading, and there are many cases where the whole family suffers. The news reports and photos on TV and the Internet are overwhelming and shocking.

In addition, livestock farms and breeding farms in several major breeding cities such as Tibet City and Yangcheng were also affected. The monsters that descended not only liked humans but also liked to kill and eat livestock and animals. The news was full of the cries of large breeders and ranchers in those cities.

Except for a few capable people who used game props to save some livestock, most of them faced bankruptcy because their livestock were eaten up.

The animals in the zoo and the chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep raised by farmers were all not spared. Some animals in the deep mountains and grasslands that could not be explored for the time being were probably not in a good situation either. They were either turned into strange animals or killed. It can be predicted that there will be very few domestic animals to eat in the future.

What's worse is that experts have detected that the soil has deteriorated and all the plants and crops have become dying and lifeless. It is very likely that the land will no longer be suitable for growing their native plants, which means that food shortages will become an inevitable trend in the future.

"If this news gets out, it's bound to cause panic and chaos. What are the people above us thinking?"

In the living room of the Si family villa, the Si family members were eating breakfast while watching the news on TV.

Si Hao muttered to himself while holding a sandwich in his mouth.

Old Mrs. Si glanced at her grandson calmly and said, "Keep reading."

"Oh." Si Hao immediately behaved well and put down his crossed legs.

Then the news anchor spoke again, "Experts have also detected that after the strange event, a substance specifically corroded food has appeared in the air. It penetrates every pore and gradually causes food to spoil. Taking the situation in the small fishing village in Bincheng as an example, this speculation is very likely to come true. According to expert experiments, this corrosive substance will corrode all food within the next 15-20 days, making our local food inedible.

Therefore, the food in the Weird Shop will become one of our most important sources of survival. We ask everyone who is able to enter the Weird Game as soon as possible, earn Weird Money, and prepare for the harsh survival in the future."

"In addition, our official experts are already researching plant cultivation and animal breeding brought about by the strange game, but the progress is currently slow. Please be prepared for a long-term survival battle."

Si Tiantian sighed that with the official intervention to control the situation, the current situation was much better than the three horoscope books she had read, especially the two pieces of news about future food shortages and food spoilage in 15 days were announced at just the right time.

If only the food shortage was announced, the situation would be in chaos and all kinds of looting and burning would be possible. But once the news that food would spoil in 15 days came out, people would no longer think about looting, but would think about how to make ghost money as quickly as possible to buy things in the ghost store.

Giving them a visible path will surely alleviate the anxiety that has already reached the extreme for most people.

"Now we will begin to explain how to obtain Ghost Money. One way is to exchange Ghost Money for player lifespans.

Second: Exchange the player's luck for ghost money;

Third: Enter the weird game to earn weird money;

Fourth: After completing the tasks notified by the official or successfully applying for an official job, you can get a certain amount of money from the official.

There are currently four ways, and experts only recommend the third and fourth. The first and second are best not to be tried lightly unless it is a critical moment. I believe everyone knows what the shortened lifespan is. The reduction of luck will make people unlucky, and the probability of death in the weird game will increase.

Currently, the official shelters in major cities are not yet fully constructed, but considering the current dire situation, we have held a meeting and have decided to open the bases ahead of schedule. Residents are advised to proceed on their own or with our special forces. Upon arrival at the official bases, please abide by the rules and order within the bases. In times of chaos, severe punishment will be imposed. Any violation of the rules and order will be severely punished."

"Now let me tell you the specific addresses of the official bases. The official base in Beijing is located at the former Chongguang Zen Temple, the official base in Shanghai is located at Lingshi Temple, and the official base in Hangzhou is located at Tianhu Temple..."

Si Tiantian opened her eyes wide and said, "Tianhu Temple, isn't this the Taoist temple where Xuanyun originally lived? It's not far from our Wolong Bay."

Si Hao nodded. "When we were building Wolong Bay, there was also a lot of construction going on a few hundred meters away. They were building something. Now it seems that it should be the official base. When that base is not big enough to accommodate people, they can expand it a little bit. Maybe they can even build it to our back door. Then we can just open a door and it will become the official base."

"That's pretty close..."

As the news report drew to a close, Si Tiantian had almost finished her breakfast. She took the tissue Rong Xiu handed over, wiped her fingers, and asked, "Are you guys still going out to fight ghosts today?"

Si Hao nodded without hesitation, "Let's go. We got quite a lot of rewards after submitting the video yesterday. Besides, reality is much safer than the Weird Game. Of course, we have to make more money while this special cleanup mission organized by Weird is still available."

Apart from Si Tiantian, Rong Xiu, Huo Yuan and a few other strong people in the Si family who have done well in the weird game, everyone else is only slightly better than a beginner. Of course, they have to take this opportunity to continue training.

"Oh, sister, when I came back yesterday, Han Feiyang came to our house. He said that many people saw our parents fighting ghosts on the road outside. They all wanted to buy those cool lightning talismans, flame talismans, ice cone talismans, etc. Do you want to sell them?"

Si Tiantian's eyes lit up. "Sell, sell, sell, of course I'll sell. If you don't make money, you're a bastard. After I go to the weird shop and come back, I'll go to a weird game copy that doesn't take up much time. Then I'll stay at home and draw talismans today."

Then she lowered her head and took out her phone. "Grandpa Huang's family is in a bit of a precarious situation right now. I remember Grandpa Huang used to love preaching to that old Taoist priest, and he was also a bit knowledgeable about drawing talismans. I'm hiring Grandpa Huang as an assistant. Once he learns, he can sell some money to support the family."

Si Hao looked over eagerly. His sister was so nice to Grandpa Huang that he, as her brother, hadn't even offered to teach him.
