Deserted Island 004

  "Unexpectedly... we're actually on a deserted island," said Mu Xiaoxiao, sitting on the beach and gazing out at the vast sea. "This is quite troublesome, there's no way to leave here in the short term..."

  "It's not bad, is it?" Qīn Qī said calmly, leaning against Mù Xiǎo's side. "Although we're trapped here, there aren't any large magical beasts on this island, so at least we won't be in danger."

  "It's true," Mu Xiao nodded and suddenly sighed, "And this is actually my first time seeing the ocean, it's really magnificent."

  "This is not the time to be sentimental," Qi Qi interrupted Mu Xiaoxiao's daydream, "Aren't you hungry, Xiaoxiao? We still need to think about how to survive here."

  "It's really simple," said Mu Xiao, waving her hand and opening the system interface. "As long as you use the system...". Suddenly, she stopped abruptly, her face turned pale, and she exclaimed, "System, what's going on? Can't we buy food or anything like that in the system?"

  "That's right," the system replied, "those things won't be sold in the mall. After all, the system mall isn't a general store."

  "......" Mu Xiaoxiao's mouth twitched, and for a moment she was at a loss for what to do. This system is really useless! What should I do now? Mu Xiaoxiao turned her gaze towards Qi Qiushi.

  "Ah," sighed Qi Zhen, standing up, "Let's go to the forest and find some fruit. I don't know why, but I seem to have a clear understanding of all this knowledge..."

  "Is that so," Mu Xiao was stunned for a moment, suddenly thinking that the original seven realities might be living on a deserted island? It's normal to know, wait, original? I remember that Qi Nian can leave the deserted island, it seems to have a ninja technique that ignores gravity...... However, that seems to be what Qi Nian learned from that true courtyard ninja......

  "Right, Seventh Lord, why don't we build a raft and leave this island? There are plenty of trees here, building a raft is no problem at all," Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly exclaimed excitedly.

  "No," Qī Zǐ shook his head, "although it sounds feasible, aren't you aware that this world has many ferocious magical beasts? Who knows how many dangers lurk in the ocean as well. Just relying on a raft, I don't think it's possible to safely cross this vast sea..."

  "That's true..."

  "...He took a bite of the unidentifiable fruit that Qi Shi had found, and his eyes drooped as he stared at the virtual interface in front of him. "Sigh, although this fruit tastes okay, thinking about having to eat it every day from now on is really unbearable. Forget about rice, even a bowl of instant noodles would be satisfying."

  "Don't worry, Xiao Xiao," said Qi Qi Shi, looking up at him, "we won't always be eating this in the future."

  "Huh? Really? But it seems like there isn't even a single wild beast on this island?" Mu Xiaoxiao said with some confusion, "Nor is it clear what the reason is, but the plants here are growing lushly, yet not a single wild beast can be found..."

  "Although there are no beasts, the sea has a lot of food, it's just that I'm not ready now, so I can't catch them," said Kajika as he fiddled with the large leaves in his hand. "Once I've finished making my tools, I'll go fishing."

  "That's pretty good, by the way," Mu Xiaoxiao looked at Qi Qiushi's hands and asked uncertainly, "Qiushi, what are you doing?"

  "What's this?" Qi Zhen put down the leaves in his hand and showed them to Mu Xiaoxiao, "This is clothes."

  "Clothes......" Seeing the clothes woven from leaves, Mu Xiao felt a sense of helplessness. It seemed that she really was going to become a savage. And why did Qi Shi have an air of being a family elder?...

  "What's wrong? Don't you like it? The texture of these leaves is quite good, and making clothes out of them is very suitable. Compared to real clothes, they're not much different. Wearing them won't feel uncomfortable at all." Looking at the half-finished garment in her hand, a faint smile appeared on Qī Zǐ's face. For some reason, doing this small thing gave her a very calm and comfortable feeling, which was truly strange.

  "Well, how could I not like it," Mu Xiaoxiao smiled slightly, but looking at it this way, Qi Shi really did have a full wife-like aura, hmm, very good, clever and skilled. Mu Xiaoxiao lay down again, boredly staring at the system interface, when she suddenly froze, "Wait, system, I think I forgot to ask? How do you get that diamond crystal? Can it be exchanged for magic beast cores?"

  "It's not possible," the system voice shattered Xiao Xiao's thoughts, "Diamonds, crystals and achievement points can only be obtained through instances and Brave Warrior Dragon as well as special items, there is no other way."

  "Isn't that so?" Mu Xiao shouted out of sorts, "Isn't it too frustrating? It's as if there's no way to do anything at all! It seems like the gift package gave me a key? But with my current trashy combat power, going to the instance wouldn't be of much use either. As for special props, I don't have any... by the way, how are special props obtained?"

  "Special prop cards can be obtained through copies and Brave Dragon, if the host does not want to enter the copy, they can start Brave Dragon, with one chance to challenge Brave Dragon every day."

  "Even if you say so," Mu Xiao still had a disheartened look, sighing incessantly, "Now I'm not even as good as Wu Zong, playing that Brave Warrior game is absolutely hopeless..."

  "The host can bring teammates in."

  "Really?!" The system's words sparked a glimmer of hope in Mu Xiaoxiao. "Can I bring Qi Shi and Xiao Gou with me?"

  "Yes, but the number of people carried cannot exceed five," said the system. "There is no limit on pets, and only up to five characters can be carried."

  "Great," Mu Xiao Xiao perked up, "If we bring Qi Shi in, not only will we have enough capital to challenge it, but her ancient technique can also copy the BOSS's abilities... Hmm, killing two birds with one stone!" Absolutely, I'll take Qi Shi into that Brave Warrior Dragon later, as for now...

  "Xiao Xiao, come help set up the tent," Qian Qi Shi called out to Muo Xiao Xiao while hugging a large pile of thick leaves.

  "Alright... I know..."

  ......

  "Brave Dragon?" Outside the tent, Qi Qi put a cup of tea in front of Mu Xiaoxiao and asked curiously, "What's that?"

  "Think of it as an arena, then," said Mu Xiaoxiao, gazing at the dark green tea in front of her. Her eyes twitched and she picked up the cup to take a sip after a moment. "Mmm...the flavor is unexpectedly good." "You'll get rewards for fighting the BOSS guarding the gate inside..."

  "So that's how it is. You're treating me like a tool, aren't you? So you had me go to this arena just for the reward you mentioned..." Qi Qi Shi's face turned cold.

  "Huh?" Mu Xiaoxiao was taken aback, then flailed her hands in a panic and hastily called out, "I... didn't mean it that way... I..." Mu Xiaoxiao frantically scratched her own head, feeling like her brain was going to explode. "I just need your help, Qi Shi... not that I'm using you as a tool or anything... if you're not willing, I can go myself, no big deal... just don't misunderstand!"

  "Pfft——" Seeing Mu Xiaoxiao's flustered expression, Qi Qi burst out laughing and the person beside him with a bright red face who was about to explain was stunned. "I know, I just teased you."

  "What's so funny?" Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned on the spot, looking at Qi Qi who was smiling in front of her. She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in her heart. If she had really misunderstood, Mu Xiaoxiao didn't know what to do.

  "Since you need me, little one, I'll of course help you, because you're my master," said Qiǎo Qīshí with a smile as he stood up, "and by entering that arena, I can also copy their abilities. In this world, only getting stronger will allow me to protect you..."

  "Don't... protect me or anything," although he knew that what Qī Zǐ said was the truth, and for now he could only accept her protection, but... how to put it? This sentence coming from a little girl who looked like she was only in her teens really didn't sound right...

  "Alright, let's set off then, and Little Beast Dog too!" Xiao Xiao picked up Little Beast Dog and opened the system interface. "Let's go! Enter Brave Warrior Evil Dragon!"
