Alien Survival: Start with a Golden Apple Enchantment

Qin Yi stopped looking at those mind-blowing products and directly clicked on the search bar at the top of the screen, mentally typing in the words "night vision device".

No products found; related products are being recommended to players.

“So humane?”

It was exactly what Qin Yi expected that he wouldn't find the night vision goggles. After all, the game had only just begun, and probably not many people would even be able to open resource chests, let alone obtain the night vision goggles.

However, he really didn't expect the system to recommend related products.

[Flashlight (Solar-powered)]

[Rank: Zero]

[System message: Charge for two minutes, shine for five hours!]

Seller: Chen Hao

[Price: 200ml of purified water or a piece of bread (or equivalent food)]

Price negotiable, details to be discussed.

"A flashlight will do."

Qin Yi was quite satisfied with the solar-powered flashlight, but the price was still a bit high.

He clicked on the seller's name and entered the private chat interface with the seller.

"Hey bro, can you give me a discount on the flashlight?"

Huh? There really are idiots who would trade food for a flashlight?

Upon receiving the notification, Chen Hao paused for a moment before quickly opening the game chat interface.

What price are you willing to pay?

Chen Hao naturally couldn't let this opportunity slip by, and quickly answered the buyer named Qin Yi.

This flashlight is actually useful, but we're in the early stages of survival right now. No matter how useful a tool is, is it as useful as food?

Chen Hao watched Qin Yi typing away, secretly pleased.

"I thought it would just sit there unsold, but I didn't expect someone would actually need it, haha."

A few seconds later, he received Qin Yi's reply.

"One price, half a loaf of bread."

"make a deal."

Fearing that Qin Yi would run away, Chen Hao readily agreed to Qin Yi's offer. After the price was adjusted, Qin Yi bought the flashlight.

After the transaction was completed, a flash of blue light appeared, and half of the bread in Qin Yi's void storage space disappeared out of thin air.

In his hand, there was now a silver-white flashlight.

Both sides got what they wanted, but who really profited?

......

Qin Yi tentatively turned on the flashlight, and a blinding beam of light instantly illuminated the road ahead.

"The brightness is good."

Qin Yi nodded in satisfaction. The brightness of this flashlight was enough to blind even a ghost.

He stood up, took out his iron sword and held it in his right hand, while holding a flashlight in his left, and slowly walked into the depths of the cave.

The cave was extremely dark. If it weren't for this flashlight, Qin Yi would probably have bumped into the wall after taking only a few steps.

After walking along the winding road for a few minutes, Qin Yi heard the sound of water.

Tick ​​tock, tick tock——

He shone his flashlight and saw the water flowing from the cracks in the stone wall.

"groundwater?"

Qin Yi went closer and found that a small puddle, about the size of a washbasin, had accumulated in the area.

【mineral water】

[Rank: Zero]

[System message: The water is non-toxic and harmless, but parasites may not be.]

Watching the pure water dripping onto the ground, Qin Yi felt a huge waste.

"Parasites and such can be eliminated by burning them; they're not a problem at all."

He quickly opened the trading platform and traded 50ml of purified water for a water bottle.

Polymer Military Water Bottle

[Rank: Zero]

Capacity: 1L

[System message: This kettle is extremely sturdy and durable; even after you've turned to ashes, it can still serve as an urn.]

“…”

Ignoring the increasingly strange system messages, Qin Yi unscrewed the cap of his military water bottle, aimed it at the spot where the water was dripping, and placed it on the ground.

"Keep going deeper."

After doing all this, Qin Yi was about to get up and leave when he was startled by a loud noise.

buzzing-

"Someone is looking for me?"

He knew it was the vibration caused by someone messaging him privately on the chat platform.

After opening the chat window, he was stunned by the 99+ message notifications in the upper right corner.

After randomly clicking through a few messages, Qin Yi finally understood what had happened.

"Boss, please sell me some water! I'm begging you, I'm willing to trade all my clothes for it."

"Hey bro, can you tell me where the water source is? I have a map, and the price will definitely satisfy you."

“…”

Yes, there was a notification for every successful transaction, and it was this notification that betrayed Qin Yi.

When Qin Yi bought the kettle, a group of people who were bored and staring at the light screen immediately noticed the key point.

Holy crap, we're still trying to figure out how to get a drink of water, and someone has already bought a water bottle?

He has definitely found a water source!

Because Qin Yi did not purchase anonymously, a large number of players who lacked purified water flocked to him, instantly flooding his private messages.

"Go ahead and thirst."

After setting up Do Not Disturb mode, Qin Yi turned off the light screen and continued walking deeper into the cave.

Selling water is an option, but not now.

He walked for quite a while, probably at least half an hour.

After leaving the place where the ground was submerged, Qin Yi keenly sensed the fluctuations in the air temperature.

The temperature is rising!

This improvement becomes more noticeable as you go down the ladder.

The initial temperature in the cave was probably only around ten degrees Celsius, but by the time Qin Yi reached his position, it was at least thirty degrees Celsius.

Qin Yi wiped his sweat, sat down and drank 50ml of water, then ate the last half of a piece of bread.

After replenishing his energy, he got up again and walked along the path for another ten minutes or so.

"A light?"

Qin Yi's eyes widened, he turned off the flashlight, and checked again.

Not far from the cliff, a few dim lights stood out starkly in the completely dark cave.

Glug glug, pop—

The sounds of bubbles bursting and liquid churning constantly reached Qin Yi's ears, all telling him one thing.

Ahead... there's likely a pool of lava!

Despite the intense heat, Qin Yi quickly walked to the edge of the cliff and peered down.

really!

Before him lay a vast expanse of churning, boiling, and intensely hot magma.

But none of these are the key points. The key point is that in the very center of this lava lake, there is a dark, deep-set rock.

On that rock was a glittering golden treasure chest!

[Golden Resource Box]!
