At this moment, the system announced, “At 9 am, the game officially begins. On the 1st day, the island was shrouded in a layer of fog.”

 

Fog? Is fog considered a natural disaster?

 

Right away, Su Han discovered that her vision had reduced significantly. At first, she could easily see more than ten meters away, but now, with the appearance of the fog, her vision reduced to five meters.

 

‘Screeechhh!! —— Bang!!!!’

 

A traffic accident occurred right next to Su Han. Because the fog appeared unexpectedly, a driver couldn’t immediately adapt to his surroundings and crashed into another car.

 

In the next second, the system sent out a notice, “Due to shortage of manpower, the local volunteer association is urgently recruiting extra help to stand guard at every intersection. Helpers only need to contact the hospital and transport the patient for treatment in the event of an accident. The daily salary is 80 coins. Those who are interested may go to the volunteer association office to register. A total of 100 people is required for five days.”

 

Su Han whispered to herself, “Is the system openly indicating that players can work part-time to earn money? A pity this job doesn’t pay much.” 80 coins per day without meals or housing provided… it’s not as good as the job she had before at the noodle shop.

 

In addition, on such a foggy day, it’s downright impossible to clearly see your surroundings. What if a driver turned to avoid a car only to end up hitting a volunteer on the side of the road? 80 coins aren’t enough to cover the hospital fees for sure.

*****

“Don’t move!!”

 

The sudden roar interrupted Su Han’s thoughts. She turned towards the sound with a frown; there were two men standing next to her.

 

The man on the left waved his knife with a ferocious expression. His attributes showed, “Satiety: 89%, cleanliness: 92%, energy 100%. State: Excellent.”

 

The one on the right had a baseball bat and looked a bit haggard. His attributes were, “Satiety: 91%, cleanliness: 90%, energy 100%. State: Excellent.”

 

Are they NPCs or players?

 

‘Bang!’ The guy on the right hit the wall with his baseball bat; his words were full of threats, “Don’t bother waiting for help. Everyone else is busy taking the injured to the hospital. No one will come to your rescue. If you hand over everything quietly, we can consider letting you leave alive.”

 

Su Han also knew that it really is difficult for others to see what’s happening here with such dense fog.

 

She spoke up after a moment of contemplation, “Okay. But… you should know that I’m not letting you two go.” After speaking, she immediately took out the slingshot and steel beads.

 

The two men were dumbfounded by her action: “???”

 

In an instant, the steel beads that seemed to have eyes hit the men’s hands and wrists. When they realized what was happening, their weapons had already dropped to the ground.

 

One of them exploded, “What the f***! Taking a weapon out from nowhere, you’re a player?!”

 

Initially, they assumed it would be effortless for them to rob a girl who knew they would end up kicking an iron plate.

 

Kick an iron plate: Smashed one’s own foot with stone/ Suffered a loss instead.

 

Su Han didn’t reply. She continued taking out more beads, preparing to shoot again.

 

The other man screamed out in pain, “Stop! Don’t hit anymore! My energy is almost gone!”

 

Because Su Han targeted their joints and the place between their fingers, the damage she dealt was doubled. However, the two men still have a lot of energy left since their energy levels were almost full at the start of the fight. The man was just embarrassed to admit that the steel beads were causing him too much pain.

 

Su Han looked indifferent, “Don’t you know you have to take responsibility for your actions? What? You have the courage to rob, but you don’t dare to accept others’ revenge?”

 

The man was speechless. For a moment, he considered retaliating. But they have nothing on their bodies apart from these two weapons, what if the other side started using medicine to refill her energy once they start fighting?

 

Su Han pulled the slingshot’s band again.

 

The other person lowered his voice and spoke in a rush, “Let’s run! There’s dense fog all around us. As long as we run far away, she can’t aim.”

 

His partner hastily nodded. The two picked up their weapons, then turned and pathetically scurried away.

 

Su Han’s steel bead hit someone’s shoulder, but the one that got hit clenched his teeth and continued running. She needs to find a new weapon.

 

Su Han showed a look of helplessness. The slingshot is good for self-defense and hunting, but its offense power is too low.

 

‘The robbing started as soon as I entered. Does that mean I would’ve lost everything just now if I didn’t buy the personal warehouse at the start?’

 

She stopped thinking about what happened and left the scene after picking a direction.

***** 

Su Han was sure it would be very easy to find a job, so she was not in a hurry at all. Who knew…

 

“Sorry, you don’t have the professional skills we need.”

 

“I think you should go and apply elsewhere.”

 

“Sorry, what we need is professionals. You are not suitable for this job.”

 

Su Han complained in her heart, ‘Isn’t a baking apprentice just an errand runner? What kind of professional skills would I possibly need to get that job?!’

 

After walking a full circle, she had to admit that it was a challenge to find a suitable job. It’s either she didn’t have the “professional skills” the employers were looking for, or the job she did get was a manual labor position with a daily salary of 60 coins which is just enough to buy a day’s worth of food.

 

After thinking about it, Su Han simply gave up struggling and went to find a place to live instead after checking the supplies in the personal warehouse.

 

“Beach villas, for supreme enjoyment! Only 300 coins a day.”

 

“Four-star hotel, single room, full board and lodging, 150 coins a day.”

 

“B&B Inn, single room, provides lunch, 100 coins a day.”

 

Su Han ignored the enthusiastic recommendations of the agent and chose a place by herself, “I want a room in the bamboo house by the sea.”

 

The bamboo house by the sea, the cheapest accommodation, was a shared rental. The first floor is the common area and the second floor has four rooms. Each room costs 50 coins per day, and tenants need to take care of their own meals.

 

The agent: “…” It turned out to be a poor ghost after talking for half a day…

 

After paying the agent 5 days’ rent, there were only 50 coins left in her pocket.

 

When she got to the bamboo house, she found that the room was actually quite nice. There was a rattan chair, table, bed, and quilt. It was also very spacious, much better than the room she lived in back at the noodle shop.

 

After a simple cleanup, Su Han took a bucket from the house and went out. She planned to go fishing by the beach since she had nothing better to do.

 

She thought her idea was excellent, only to find out after she got to the beach that there was no need to fish at all. Many small crabs and snails have been washed ashore on the beach. She even saw two big oysters!

 

Su Han suddenly remembered something. Because the waves often carried the seafood to the shore, people who lived by the sea could find a lot of food just by picking up a few things on the beach.

 

But this was the first time Su Han had encountered this situation. She simply stuffed the fishing rod back into her warehouse and enthusiastically started picking up the crabs and the snails. Not long after, Su Han cheerfully carried the bucket that was filled to the brim with seafood back to the bamboo house.
