Live Strong in the Wilderness

Chapter 533: Day 224’s Gift Pack

"Will Xu Yi encounter any danger after leaving?"

Half an hour after Xu Yi left, Wang Jin anxiously looked at the Star Chart in her hand.

Because Xu Yi’s coordinates hadn’t moved.

"Don’t overthink it. Xu Yi’s strength is the strongest among us. Even if he encounters danger, he can handle it. You should focus on training instead. Only when our strength is sufficient can we keep up with Xu Yi’s pace," Lu Yao advised.

After all, Xu Yi had already left, and spending time monitoring his movements was meaningless.

Didn’t you see Lu Ke wearing noise-canceling headphones and starting to train?

Although Lu Ke was wearing very professional noise-canceling headphones, she could still hear if there was a warning from Bai Yu. She just couldn’t hear everyone talking, so she could focus on training.

Each of them had a pair of these headphones.

The women were in one tent, and the men in another, separated. The soundproofing effect was quite good; unless it was very loud, it was hard for the two tents to hear each other’s voices.

With these headphones on, the sound in the same tent becomes much quieter.

Wang Jin made a funny face at Lu Yao, then took out her noise-canceling headphones and started training as well.

She naturally knew Lu Yao was right, but she still worried about Xu Yi.

Xu Yi stopped only because he discovered a hot spring.

Moreover, the hot spring was somewhat large.

Near the hot spring, there was no snow, and steam rose in the air.

However, there weren’t any plants around its edges.

Xu Yi checked it out and found the temperature of the hot spring was too high, over 70 degrees.

If it weren’t for the melting snow nearby feeding into it, it might be boiling.

Such a place was obviously not suitable as humanity’s first permanent base on Spirit Blue Star.

Xu Yi didn’t stay long and left the hot spring, returning to the air.

Suitable climate was a condition Xu Yi deemed very necessary.

After all, the eliminated individuals might need to stay at that teleport point for the following two hundred plus days, so if it remained at negative sixty or seventy degrees, it would be very unsuitable.

Life would be too challenging in such extreme cold, making construction and training impossible to focus on.

Also, the nearby Fierce Beasts couldn’t be too strong because currently, only his team members had advanced to level 5. Many members of other teams were still level 4 Mages, and some even level 3.

If they appeared in the activity area of level 6 Fierce Beasts, they would definitely become prey.

Previously, on the spaceship, Xu Yi discovered that only the North and South Poles had large ice areas.

Of course, this wasn’t absolute.

After all, Xu Yi saw only a part, and not for very long.

Finding his own position like this was indeed too difficult.

Right now, Xu Yi simply wanted to find a place with a suitable temperature; as long as the nearby Fierce Beasts weren’t above level 6, he could set the teleport point there.

"If only I could fly into space; that way, I could..." The words weren’t finished before Xu Yi slapped his forehead.

"Flash, let’s fly up into the sky."

No need to reach space, just to nearly ten thousand meters of altitude would do.

He brought a very powerful optical telescope, which was a research project by a very young team that Xu Yi learned about by asking them directly.

Because the telescope has a rather large aperture of 50 centimeters and is very heavy, no one expected Xu Yi would waste space carrying such equipment.

Yet, Xu Yi really brought one, now stored in his Star Chart Space.

Now, let’s see how high Flash can fly.

A few thousand meters wouldn’t be enough; the viewable range isn’t large.

At least ten thousand meters; Xu Yi thought it needed to be at that height.

Flash carried Xu Yi, continuously ascending, ascending.

The higher it went, the more strenuous the ascent became.

Above, the wind was bitterly cold, and Xu Yi needed to protect himself and Flash using Spiritual Power.

"Too low, we’re not even at 3000 meters yet," Xu Yi noticed Flash couldn’t fly any higher, so he immediately let it descend a bit.

Taking out the large telescope, Xu Yi prepared to conduct a 360-degree panoramic observation.

He didn’t need to keep his eyes on the eyepiece, as there was an electronic screen to view the images directly.

Everywhere there were Cacti, so finding a place without snow in such an area wasn’t easy.

After nearly an hour, Xu Yi’s eyes were sore from looking and still had not made any valuable discovery.

If Flash hadn’t struggled to hold out, Xu Yi could have looked a bit longer.

Back on the ground, Xu Yi took out a tent because Flash needed to rest.

This telescope’s imaging system was very strong, able to assemble captured images into a map.

With the map, Xu Yi started searching again.

After numerous magnifications, Xu Yi pinpointed a location.

After resting for several hours, Xu Yi flew towards the spot he had chosen.

Two days later, Xu Yi reached that location.

To find that it was still a snowy plain, the plants still Cacti.

Though disheartened, he didn’t give up.

Once more entering a high altitude, Xu Yi continued searching with the telescope.

He didn’t believe he wouldn’t exit this snowfield just by heading in one direction.

Time flew by quickly, and in a blink, it was already the 224th day.

"System, check in."

"Ding, check-in completed for 7 days, received a Basic Gift Package."

Upon hearing the system’s voice, Xu Yi opened his eyes with satisfaction.

He had been out for 4 days already, yet unfortunately hadn’t made much progress.

"Ding, obtained rare material Secret Crystal *400 grams [Extremely conductive to Spiritual Power, one of the ideal materials for Divine Masters to craft weapons.] (Basic)"

Xu Yi never expected this time’s gift package to be this.

Secret Crystal, and only 400 grams. Such a small amount, what weapon could be made?

Moreover, currently, he hadn’t mastered the attack techniques of level 5 Fierce Beasts, so he couldn’t use weapons.

Applying such techniques to weapons was even more difficult.

Thus, this Secret Crystal was temporarily useless to Xu Yi.

For now, the Secret Crystal sat in Xu Yi’s Star Chart Space.

Xu Yi took a glance; it was a kind of black crystal, not particularly eye-catching.

However, when using Spiritual Power to perceive it, Xu Yi noticed his Spiritual Power becoming exceptionally active.

At this moment, Xu Yi realized this Secret Crystal was indeed a good treasure.

The pity was that the quantity was a bit lacking.

Just as he was thinking about what weapon to craft with it in the future, his machete and dagger suddenly appeared next to the Secret Crystal and fused together, turning into liquid.
