The Real World

Back in the real world, Wen Nannan first reviewed the last round of the game, realizing she had many shortcomings.

Physical fitness was her biggest weakness. Not knowing when the next round of the game would begin, she knew she had to strengthen herself in this area before then.

Ideally, she needed a professional trainer to guide her. Even learning some self-defense techniques would be helpful.

Wen Nannan remembered a new gym near her apartment complex, and she planned to go check it out tomorrow.

Additionally, her lack of social experience often led her to overlook important details, leaving potential risks.

She recognized the need to be more cautious in this regard.

Knowing she had no powerful backing and was carrying a spatial item was akin to a child walking through the marketplace carrying gold bricks - extremely dangerous.

She shouldn't have taken risks and exposed herself without thorough preparation.

Thinking back to the several near-death experiences, Wen Nannan shuddered.

She couldn't help but thank her temporary teammate, Zhang... Zhang what was his name? To her surprise, she couldn't recall his name or even what he looked like.

This had to be the game's doing.

She wondered if she would meet him again in future games. Although he wasn't particularly smart, he has really good character.

However, the harshness of the game would gradually erode people's initial nature; perhaps by the time they met again, everything would be different.

Thinking about this, her mood became complicated.

Wen Nannan opened the survival forum. Aside from player complaints and experiences in the game, the previously locked content about "Village Carnival" had been unlocked.

The latest post was very popular.

"Scarlet Moon: In this game, I was lucky enough to latch onto a big shot and clear the game smoothly. Haha!

The key to this game was food and fuel.

Everyone knows how terrifying locusts can be. As the biggest threat in 'Village Carnival,' they fear only fire.

I was fortunate that the big shot I followed collected enough supplies and found a hidden cave early in the game.

The cave was long enough to pass through the mountain. The big shot found saltpeter in the mountains and blew up the entrance, turning it into a safe house.

Until the end of the game, the locust army gnaw at the mountain, eventually exposing the cave.

However, we still had plenty of fuel. We surrounded ourselves with a ring of fire and sat in the middle until the game ended."

This post made many envious.

[1L: I want such a big shot too.]

[2L: How did he think of storing fuel? I could only think of food and water.]

[3L: That's why he is a big shot-he can foresee things others can't.]

"Scarlet Moon: The big shot noticed early in the game that the locusts were gradually eating the trees on the mountain. We then started chopping wood every day. At first, I didn't understand why, but later I was thankful."

[4L: How did you find the cave?]

"Scarlet Moon: The saying goes, 'the most dangerous place is the safest.' It's no wonder you couldn't think of that. If the big shot hadn't scouted the locust nest, no one would have found it."

[5L: The big shot is brave!]

Wen Nannan thought that without collecting fuel mid-game, she would have died in this round, even with a spatial item.

The next day, Wen Nannan went to the gym early in the morning. She signed up for 1-on-1 personal training, rejecting the monthly package recommendation and choosing the most expensive hourly rate.

The trainer at the gym assigned to her was quite skilled. Based on Wen Nannan's needs, he focused on teaching her techniques for exerting force and defensive moves, which greatly benefited her.

For her, it was about quality, not quantity. Her lack of strength couldn't be compensated for overnight, so training in techniques and agility would see quicker results.

For the next week, she traveled between her home and the gym daily, hoping to learn some life-saving skills to help her get through the next game.
