A giant six-legged animal covered in blue-grey long hair was moving slowly across the vast desert.
With every step it took, the ground would tremble significantly.
From ti to ti, its neck, over ten ters long, would twist and its cow-like face would lower to the ground, extending a long black tongue to sweep unsuspecting mutant creatures into its mouth full of sharp teeth.
Its powerful tail, like a whip, struck the ground, and the bone spurs on it destroyed everything they encountered, leaving them riddled with holes.
The booming sound continued, incessantly.
A kiloter away.
On the rooftop, Lin Yue swallowed a gulp of saliva and slowly lowered the sighting scope.
"What... exactly is that?"
A dinosaur? But a fully-haired dinosaur with six legs doesn’t exist, right?
This monstrous creature reminded Lin Yue of those he had seen in the Secret Realm, but the ones there had disgusting tentacles, which this did not seem to have.
Even from this far, Lin Yue could feel the imnse impact the giant creature carried!
Fortunately, it didn’t seem too interested in his direction and went another way.
Only after it completely disappeared from view did Lin Yue let out a sigh of relief.
He also rembered that the system had warned him that this upgrade would randomly spawn giant creatures.
Coming down from the rooftop, Lin Yue returned to the kitchen, only to find Bai lying on the ground with a bloated belly.
"Hiccup~ Squeak!"
This little guy had actually taken advantage of his absence to secretly eat both pancakes and four sausages.
Lin Yue shook his head with a smile, picked it up, and petted its head, "Why the hurry, you’ll hurt yourself if you overeat."
"Hiccup~" Bai nodded with difficulty, but upon seeing Lin Yue take out more pancakes, it imdiately struggled to co closer again.
Seeing this little guy, Lin Yue couldn’t help but relax slightly as well.
The tension and pressure brought on by the giant creature dissipated quite a lot.
While eating a pancake, Lin Yue opened the group chat.
Having just survived a calamity, the number of people had dwindled yet again, and after the system update, he had more things to get used to.
Although so were trolling in the group chat, there were those whose words contained a wealth of information.
Oh right, the Survival Points have been updated again... but I don’t think I’ve used much of the previous ones.
He clicked on the Survival Points option, and a flood of comnts sprang up quickly.
But Lin Yue wasn’t interested in reading what they wrote, and went straight to the results.
[Daily Survival Points Settlent Successful: Survival Points 2407]
[Survival Points Remaining from Yesterday: 4309]
[Total Survival Points: 6716]
Boy, they keep accumulating!
How about buying sothing to use them up?
Lin Yue opened the Survival Points Mall, only to find it unexpectedly displayed, "Upgrading, please co back later."
Oh well, it’s not like there’s anything worth buying anyway.
This ti, he opened the group chat, browsing through the group mbers’ ssages.
But... the number in the upper right corner was staggering.
99785!
After the system 2.0 update, the size of the group had surprisingly increased to 100,000!
With more people, things beca livelier, but naturally, more issues would arise.
Even on the day before the disaster, aiming for the top rank on the leaderboard had suddenly beco much harder!
Those who survived the second disaster until now—regardless of their current status—likely didn’t get through it just with ’luck’, but rather had their own skills.
So, what would these "elites" left after two rounds of weeding have to say?
"Everyone, did any of you see the giant creature the system ntioned? What does it look like?"
"I saw it, but unfortunately, I didn’t have a cara, even if I did, I couldn’t send a picture... hmm? Why does the system suddenly have a cara function, did you guys see that?"
"Already taking selfies, but the system’s not delivering, doesn’t even have beautification, why does my face look like this, calling for a PS expert, offering Survival Points!"
"Are you here to survive or just to play? My shelter’s on high ground, but discovered this morning it’s turned into a small island in a lake, anyone have a boat blueprint? Offering a high price!"
"Any big shots been to the ruins? Heard there are good things, list it in the mall for us to see!"
"When will the group allow image sharing? If it does, I can show you right now."
"With so many new mbers, any new big shots? Wonder if anyone can take down Lin Yue? Looking forward."
"Who’s Lin Yue? Is he famous?"
"Last rank 2195 points, must be new here!"
"No way? Gotta be kidding? 2195 points! I’ve only gotten to 590 myself!"
"I know, it must be a group total score, our original group had a 2078-pointer with a 30-mber team, @Zhou Tongfeng."
"Solo! System considers it solo, how incredible is that! A 30-mber team can’t match one person, wow."
...
Lin Yue realized that topics, while serious initially, would suddenly veer and focus on him.
Is it this hard to keep a low profile?
Still, he managed to glean so useful information.
Soone else had also seen the giant creature, but Lin Yue didn’t know if it was the sa as what he saw.
He hoped it was the sa; it would an the number of these giant creatures wasn’t too many.
Another thing that grabbed his attention was the cara feature.
Lin Yue left the group chat, opened the cara, and aid it at Bai, who was still lying on the ground, too full to get up.
Taking a few shots, he found they were quite clear, every scale on Bai could be seen, even zooming in and out was possible, along with so simple editing features.
"Hmm? It seems there’s also a video recording feature?" He swiped further and discovered the system’s new functions not only included a cara but video recording as well.
He recorded a few seconds of video of Bai and felt a hint of the fun of playing with a phone.
Phone... it’s been so long since I last touched one.
Lin Yue felt a twinge of nostalgia for his old life, it was just too comfortable, at least when compared to now.
Working to earn money, buying food and drinks, doing whatever, life was dull but there wasn’t a lack of gadgets, and no need to worry about not having electricity...
Speaking of which, could electricity be an option?
Didn’t I acquire a small solar power kit before?
"Squeak?" Bai struggled to sit up again, thinking his owner might take him hunting, but instead, the owner fiddled around, seemingly unsure of what he was doing.
Lin Yue placed the half-eaten pancake on the table and excitedly climbed the ladder to the rooftop, taking out the small solar power kit!
Holding three small black solar panels, Lin Yue placed them one by one on the sloped rooftop, connected the wires, and finally led them inside.
Then, he rummaged through the kitchen for a while, finally fixing his gaze on the ice maker.
The weather was hot, how could he not drink a cool beverage?
"Bai, fancy so iced tea?"
