In the Supply Room.
The silver Supply Chest was wide open, revealing several bottles of mineral water and dried meat.
Mu Bai drank the mineral water directly.
Following the principle of not wasting food, she stored the few pounds of jerky into her Storage Space.
It had been about half a day since they entered the Trial Station, and they had already pushed through dozens of rooms.
They had encountered many Supply Rooms, but most contained food, cold weapons, and simple guns.
The potion they had obtained when they first entered the station had actually turned out to be a rare item.
Too bad.
The supplied guns and ammunition were somewhat useful.
Though not as good as modern firearms, they could still be sold at the Trading Market.
As for the cold weapons, most were inferior to the daggers Mu Bai and Mo Cha carried.
There was only one longsword—a long blade that Mu Bai thought looked quite cool.
More importantly, it was light and easy to use, so she took it.
“How’s everyone’s stamina holding up?”
Mu Bai asked.
To be honest, she was a bit tired.
Although her teammates had been carrying the fights while she just cheered from the back, keeping her nerves constantly taut without relaxation had also drained her energy significantly.
Moreover, traveling itself consumed a lot of stamina.
During Monster Rooms, she had to keep moving to maintain a safe position.
Her physical strength was already flagging.
Even though Mu Bai’s Strength, Agility, and Constitution had all been greatly enhanced, she still had the physique of an ordinary high school girl.
She had gone from barely being on par with a large mutated creature to being able to hold her own.
The fact that she had persisted this long was partly due to a certain sense of pride that made it hard for her to speak up.
Mu Bai was trying her best not to drag the team down.
“Little Mu Bai is tired, huh? How about we rest for a bit?”
Mo Cha said with a smile.
“No objections.”
Ye Yuan rarely took the initiative to join the conversation.
“Actually, you could try what I suggested before.”
Tang Shifu said, inexplicably excited, her eyes gleaming.
“I could carry you on my back while we travel. You’re very light. Yesterday I could lift you up fine. See, see?”
‘This seems fun.’
“I have objections.”
Ye Yuan wanted to say that, but in the end, she just opened her mouth and closed it again.
“Not necessary at all, okay?”
Mu Bai was annoyed.
But after thinking it over, she decided that continuing to force herself might lead to trouble.
She assessed her remaining stamina and considered,
“Alright, let’s go through one or two more doors. That should put us at exactly one hundred units… If we still haven’t reached the end by then, we’ll take a break.”
Yes, she had been counting the number of rooms.
One hundred units wasn’t the number of rooms, but the distance traveled, judged based on the size of the initial room.
After all, some rooms were larger, while others were oddly shaped.
But basically, they were arranged in a grid pattern, which could be seen as composed of many small squares.
The initial room was exactly one standard small square.
“What units?”
Tang Shifu asked, puzzled.
“Never mind. Just listen to me. Let’s keep going.”
Mu Bai was mentally exhausted and didn’t want to explain.
This girl had always been a bit clueless.
It wasn’t that she had no brains—her intelligence was certainly online.
But after getting familiar with her, it always felt like she had a screw loose.
For example, she couldn’t read the atmosphere, and she always brought up things that made Mu Bai embarrassed or annoyed.
“Could it be that you actually remember the approximate distance we’ve traveled?”
Mo Cha asked in surprise.
She roughly understood and guessed what “units” meant.
Actually, she had also been keeping a mental note, but she only remembered the number of rooms.
As for the straight-line distance, she only had a rough idea.
Many rooms had strange shapes, and she had to focus on combat, so she couldn’t spare that much attention for such details.
“Yeah, my Mental Power is over 20 now. At first, I didn’t think it was useful, but later I felt that my memory and intuition have improved a lot.”
Mu Bai explained simply.
Actually, it wasn’t just memory and intuition.
Although she felt that the increase in Mental Power didn’t do much for her IQ, it had indeed accelerated her ability to process information.
For example, in this station, her enhanced spatial perception was clearly showing.
Speaking of which, back at Shaji Station, she had sensed the military drones’ surveillance through that prickly intuition.
It seemed this basic attribute couldn’t be directly treated as a simple stat line because it indirectly affected the player’s personal abilities.
No wonder when it hit rock bottom, one would get headaches, blurry vision, and even fall unconscious.
“I see.”
Mo Cha nodded thoughtfully.
Mu Bai referred to the direction of the Compass Needle and chose the next door.
Tang Shifu went to open it.
The room behind the door was another rectangle.
Supply Rooms were always square.
Adventure Rooms weren’t confirmed yet, but most of the Monster Rooms encountered so far were rectangular.
Some even looked like Tetris pieces, while only a few were squares of varying sizes.
Therefore, Mu Bai and the others instinctively thought this was a Monster Room.
But after the door behind them automatically closed, no monsters appeared in the room.
Instead, the surface material of the floor and walls was similar to that of the Supply Room.
It wasn’t like the robot Monster Rooms, which had slight differences.
Here, the material looked exactly the same, except the smooth, seamless floor had turned into checkered tiles.
Including the door behind them, the room had two doors in total.
In front of the opposite door was a long table resembling a podium.
On its surface were three different items.
Due to the distance, they couldn’t tell what they were.
This scene was different from before—very special.
“Be careful. This might be an Adventure Room.”
Mu Bai warned.
There was no task completion notification, and the Train hadn’t appeared.
She could be sure this wasn’t the end.
So, upon seeing the unusual room layout, she became even more vigilant.
“Okay.”
“Understood.”
The other three indicated they understood.
Mo Cha entered her Stealth Mode and tried to take two steps forward.
The next moment, the tile Mo Cha had just stepped on seemed like a pressure plate from a parkour game—like sand and TNT combined—and it directly collapsed downward.
Tang Shifu reacted quickly and grabbed Mo Cha.
Fortunately, Mo Cha had entered Stealth Mode right in front of them, so everyone could still see her form, giving Tang Shifu the chance to lend a hand.
It was a close call.
Mo Cha exited Stealth Mode, her face a bit pale.
She hadn’t expected danger to come from under her feet.
Mu Bai took two steps forward and looked down at the spot where the tile had fallen.
The square hole, about a meter wide, was pitch black, with no end in sight.
Since there was no sound of anything hitting the bottom, Mu Bai couldn’t confirm whether there was a floor down there…
Scared.jpg.
Mu Bai retreated.
She was a bit afraid of heights.
“So… all the tiles in this room are traps like that?”
Mo Cha looked back with lingering fear.
Talking now was partly a way to calm herself down.
“Not necessarily. If that were the case, just watching where you step would be enough, and it wouldn’t be dangerous…”
Mu Bai wasn’t sure either.
“Let me try!”
Tang Shifu pulled Mo Cha back and stepped onto a nearby tile herself.
However, she kept her center of gravity on the area confirmed safe.
This time, the tile didn’t fall—it just sank.
Suddenly, the wall beside her let out a clang, and a long spear shot out, scraping past the tip of Tang Shifu’s nose.
