“He actually sent me a friend request.”
A smile appeared on Lu Chen's lips as he clicked on the friend request list.
He hadn't been paying attention, but when he clicked it, a long list of requests popped up!
It turned out that after he topped the leaderboard, people from the same channel rushed over, hoping to bask in the glory of the big shot.
Among these requests, about half were asking for supplies, a small part were expressing shock, and there were a few who even asked to be sponsored...
Through the endless stream of requests, Lu Chen finally found Sakurajima Mai's.
After accepting it, he immediately blocked all strangers -
He finally understood how troublesome being a "celebrity" was.
No wonder Sakurajima Mai had enabled the blocking mode from the start.
Once they added each other, they could chat privately. It seemed like Sakurajima Mai was right at her computer, and she quickly sent a message.
Sakurajima Mai: "Mr. Top Survivor, please give your acceptance speech (laugh)"
Lu Chen: "I'm embarrassed, I only reached first place thanks to the help of the big star, this top spot has half your merit."
Sakurajima Mai: "You should say you protected me, I was quite nervous during the final evacuation."
Lu Chen: "Fortunately, you got the magic beans from the slot machine... What were the other two items?"
Sakurajima Mai: "Wait a moment, I'll send them to you."
Send them... how?
Just as Lu Chen was puzzled, two underlined hyperlinks suddenly appeared in the chat window.
He clicked on them, and two item images and description information automatically popped up.
-
【Fast-Acting Painkiller: E+ Rank, 8 tablets in total. Taking it can temporarily alleviate the effects of injuries and diseases. Excessive use within a short time may cause headaches, fainting, and other symptoms.】
-
【Metal Knuckles: E++ Rank, Heavy metal knuckles forged entirely of metal. It provides protection while also possessing considerable lethality.】
-
Both of these items were pretty good, at least above the passing grade.
The painkillers, though not the best, were good because of the quantity, they could be used individually or sold to other players.
The metal knuckles were a proper weapon item, and they were not low-level.
An E++ rating, already on par with Lu Chen's Glock pistol.
However, melee and ranged firearms each had their pros and cons.
More than these two items, Lu Chen was more concerned about something else.
Lu Chen: "How did you send the item information?"
Soon, Sakurajima Mai answered his question.
Sakurajima Mai: "Just use the 'Information Scan' function on your wristwatch. It can even be used as a camera."
Lu Chen: "Really? I'll try it..."
Meanwhile, in another safe house.
Seeing Lu Chen's reply, the girl in front of the computer screen felt a stir in her heart.
Sakurajima Mai raised her milky white wrist, turned the wristwatch to the side of her palm, and took a selfie.
The chat bar on the screen instantly got a freshly taken selfie, which Sakurajima Mai directly clicked to send.
Sakurajima Mai: "(Sending picture)"
Lu Chen, who was fiddling with his wristwatch, saw the screen scrolling and looked up subconsciously.
The figure of the girl in her pajamas, with a faint smile on her pretty face, entered his field of vision unexpectedly.
Due to the shooting angle, one could easily see a large expanse of delicate, white skin.
From the slightly open neckline, one could even catch a glimpse of the snow-white, delicate bumps.
Under the photo, a new message appeared immediately.
Sakurajima Mai: "I tested it for you, how does it feel?"
"This guy..."
Lu Chen silently saved Sakurajima Mai's selfie to his desktop and replied.
Lu Chen: "It looks good, I love it, send me more."
Sakurajima Mai: "You wish, there's only this one."
Lu Chen: "What a shame... What functions does your wristwatch have?"
Sakurajima Mai: "Even if it's to change the subject, this is too abrupt..."
Complaints aside, they quickly exchanged the information they knew.
Sakurajima Mai's wristwatch was a D++ rank. Though only one rank lower than Lu Chen's C, it was a world of difference.
The D++ wristwatch only had two basic functions, status self-check and information scan.
The most practical "Space Storage" was completely absent.
It only had two function slots, one less than Lu Chen's wristwatch.
As for the "Survivor Broadcast" special function, it was not even worth thinking about.
Even so, Sakurajima Mai was already very satisfied.
After all, half of the surviving players didn't even have wristwatches.
Lu Chen: "With these items, even without me, you should be able to hold out until the evacuation point appears."
Sakurajima Mai: ".... Probably, but I'm still not very confident."
If I could be with you tomorrow, that would be great.
After typing this sentence in the chat bar, the girl hesitated for a moment.
In the end, she deleted the entire sentence, letter by letter.
She didn't want to put pressure on Lu Chen because of this.
From a rational perspective, the fact that they managed to be teleported to the same location for the first time was already a huge stroke of luck.
The probability of this once-in-a-lifetime event happening again was practically zero.
But Lu Chen didn't think so.
Once midnight passed, he would be able to refresh Sakurajima Mai's tags again.
Although it was unlikely to get another tag like "Love at First Sight" which only worked on the first meeting, if he could get a tag related to teleportation, there might still be a chance.
Furthermore... even without teleporting together, Lu Chen had other ways.
Lu Chen: "Go to bed early tonight. Tomorrow, before we teleport to the dangerous area, remember to check the message I sent you."
Although she was a bit confused, Sakurajima Mai still replied seriously.
"Okay."
After ending the private chat, Lu Chen stretched, relieving the fatigue in his whole body.
He opened a bottle of purified water and a can of tomato chickpea stew, and ate with the constantly appearing players' messages in the chat room.
They could only stay in the dangerous area for a maximum of 6 hours a day, the remaining 18 hours had to be spent in the safe house.
Besides resting, there was practically nothing to do with the rest of the time.
Naturally, the players would find ways to relieve boredom during this boring time - the chat room!
In the Survivor game, where they faced life and death at every moment, surviving alone was tough.
It was inevitable to experience negative emotions such as loneliness, fear, panic, and confusion.
Without an outlet, these emotions would fester and turn into a disease.
On the other hand, the chat room, where they could see other people's dynamic messages, became a spiritual comfort for many players.
