Dormitory group chat, my information updated daily.

"Get up, brothers, let's catch the thief!"

As soon as it was dawn, Ji Mingyu dragged everyone out of bed.

"Hurry up and hurry up! If we're too slow, that little thief will take the animal trap again, and we'll lose both our money and our lives."

Upon hearing this, the others were immediately alerted and quickly got out of bed to pack their equipment.

Taking advantage of this moment, Xiao Yun glanced at today's preview.

[Announcement 1: 100 meters downstairs, where life ends, the souls of the dead are restlessly tormented, screaming between reality and nothingness, unable to find peace. Beware! The area 'Tomb of the Dead' will form in 10 days. It is filled with death and gloom; those who enter will suffer mental torment. Stay alert, or you will be dragged into the grave by the dead! But at the same time, many opportunities are hidden here—whether it's the treasure within the tombs or the secret doors within the coffins of nothingness leading to other places, they all await your arrival…]

[Announcement 2: Tonight at sunset, a group of 'Wandering Apes' will pass by Star Moon Lake. These animals will not attack unless provoked, but they are extremely vengeful and act in groups. They are formidable fighters, so please do not provoke them... 'Wandering Apes' have a strong curiosity and collecting desire, always searching for treasures and other strange things. If you can offer them something that interests them, you might be able to trade it for something good...]

[Forecast 3: Thunderstorms and strong winds are expected in two days. Please avoid going out unless absolutely necessary.]

Xiao Yun looked at the first and third messages, his expression growing increasingly grave.

"I never imagined that the turmoil caused by the monsters on the first night would have such a long-lasting impact, even creating a new region..."

The tragedy of the first night gave him the opportunity to grow rapidly and surpass others, and provided himself and others with a peaceful and stable "newbie period," but in retrospect, it also left behind endless troubles.

Xiao Yun's feelings were complicated. Suddenly, he thought of the monster's appearance and got goosebumps all over his body.

For some reason, as his strength grew, he felt the monster becoming more and more terrifying.

"Could that monster be the ultimate boss for this entire area around our school? Will defeating it unlock a new map or something?"

Countless guesses flashed through Xiao Yun's mind, but he quickly dismissed them.

The gap between myself and that monster is too great; thinking about it is pointless.

"Extreme weather... We need to stock up on food these next couple of days and be prepared."

Xiao Yun lowered his head in deep thought. The impact of the thunderstorm was not only that he couldn't go out, but it would also cause difficulties for his subsequent exploration.

After this extreme weather event, the paths that were previously explored and cleared by everyone will be blocked again. Some wild fruits and small animals will become more difficult to find after the extreme weather. Even hungry predators will intensify their efforts after the extreme weather.

"Survival is getting harder and harder..."

Xiao Yun sighed inwardly, but a smile of eager anticipation crept onto his lips.

"What happy thing have you thought of, Brother Yun? Let's go."

Wang Tianyuan was greeting them when Xiao Yun grabbed him.

"I remember your exes gave you a lot of weird and wonderful little things. Find me a few."

"Why do you suddenly want that thing?"

Wang Tianyuan hesitated, even showing some reluctance:

"Those are precious memories left to me by my close female friends! I can't just give them to you!"

"I can trade those little trinkets for better things, and I'll give you a big credit for it!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Tianyuan suddenly became serious and said:

"How vulgar! How could I use my feelings for them to make a deal!"

"You can choose first when the time comes."

Xiao Yun said something indifferently, and then saw a blur flash before his eyes.

When I came to my senses, I saw Wang Tianyuan standing in front of me with a box full of shiny, strange little gadgets, grinning mischievously.

"Brother Yun, which one do you want? Or should we take them all?"

"..."

After packing their things, the four of them each grabbed a handful of barbecue strips and headed straight for the trap they had set up the night before.

Passing by the lake, Ji Mingyu casually used yesterday's leftovers to make a fishing spot, constantly muttering that today would definitely be a great day for him to catch fish.

The brothers would casually make a few sarcastic remarks about the air force's fishing buddies, and before long, they arrived at the bushes where the long-tailed rabbits lived.

Upon finding the animal traps set the previous night, the group was surprised to discover an unexpected bonus.

"Wow, what a fat rabbit! Look, Fatty, doesn't it look like you?"

Wang Tianyuan poked the long-tailed rabbit and smiled at Zhong Mo.

"climb……"

Zhong Mo chuckled and scolded, then helped him take out the long-tailed rabbit.

After putting away the long-tailed rabbit, Ji Mingyu looked at Xiao Yun.

"What do you mean, are we just going to wait here? It's almost dawn, and if that guy walks fast, he should be here soon."

Xiao Yun nodded and said:

"Find a place to hide and wait for him to walk right into our trap."

"I thought of that when I was setting the trap yesterday. There's a tall bush over there, under the shade of a tree, which is a good hiding place."

Wang Tianyuan pointed in a direction and said something. Xiao Yun looked in the direction he pointed, his eyes lit up, and he nodded.

"That's impressive! Young Master Yuan's survival skills in the Rocky Mountains aren't just bragging!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Tianyuan's face revealed a smug expression.

Then, the group cleaned up the footprints and traces they had left behind and hid in the bushes to wait quietly.

Ten minutes passed...

Half an hour passed...

An hour and a half passed...

There was still no movement.

"Brother Yun, your plan isn't working too well, that guy isn't showing up..."

Wang Tianyuan was getting a little impatient, and he pursed his lips and said in a low voice:

"With this time, I could catch seven or eight pounds of fish. Maybe we should just give up. I think staying here is just a waste of time."

"Yeah, I also think we should just forget about it. It's just a few animal traps. I already cleared out two last night, so we don't need them."

Ji Mingyu chimed in, casually slapping Zhong Mo on the head to stop him from snoring.

"Ah...have you had lunch yet?"

"..."

Xiao Yun pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly.

He felt that was enough. It was just an attempt to use entrapment to enforce the law, and he couldn't just sit there waiting without catching anything.

I'm not like Ji Mingyu, the air force guy.

"Looks like I misjudged the situation. Let's go, no need to waste time..."

Before he could finish speaking, footsteps suddenly came from behind him.

The four men's expressions instantly turned serious. They held their breath and stared intently at the animal trap not far away.

The bushes rustled, and the footsteps grew closer.

Soon, a shifty-eyed figure appeared before them.

"A Korean star? What, it's this guy?"

Upon seeing his companion's classmate, Xiao Yun sighed softly.

"Hehe, so it's this guy. Let me tell you, don't let his gentle appearance fool you, he's not a good person at all. I've heard he's stolen takeout orders before."

Wang Tianyuan sneered and stared intently at Han Xing.

Han Xing glanced at the empty animal trap, curled his lip, and muttered something with a displeased expression.

"Damn, this guy's complaining about not having a trap and not catching any prey. He's so greedy!"

Wang Tianyuan spat, and seeing Han Xing start to dismantle the animal trap, he jumped up from the bushes without hesitation.

"Hey! Where do you think you're going, you thief!"

He rushed to Han Xing's side in one stride, and the latter screamed and ran away, but Wang Tianyuan still grabbed him and pulled him to his side.

"Damn it, Old Han, you've really gotten bolder, haven't you? You've even learned to steal other people's things now!"

Wang Tianyuan sneered, his katana already pressed against the man's neck.

"Tell me, where are the game and traps that stole from us yesterday? Confess and you'll be treated leniently!"

"Who...who said I took your things? Wang Tianyuan, I know you look down on me, but that doesn't mean you have to slander me, does it?"

When the Korean star realized it was his classmate, his attitude suddenly hardened.

"You accuse me of taking your things, do you have any proof?"

"Evidence? You sneaked in here so stealthily, and even tried to break our animal traps. We've caught you red-handed, what evidence do we need?"

Ji Mingyu sneered and raised the knife in his hand to the other side of his neck.

"Taking without reporting is theft, and I hate thieves like you the most! Don't think I won't mess with you just because we were classmates!"

Seeing the cold glint in Ji Mingyu's eyes, Han Xing's face turned deathly pale, and he swallowed hard.

Seeing that the intimidation had been enough, Xiao Yun stepped forward to play the good cop:

"Han Xing, for the sake of our friendship as classmates, I can let this go this time. Just return what you took and compensate us for our losses, and we'll call it even..."

Before he could finish speaking, an uninvited guest arrived.

"What are you doing! How dare you harm your classmate!"
