Extreme Night Wilderness Survival: Desolate Rat

After dinner, it was time to check the status of the 12 traps.

Wang Yu had checked them in the morning, and there was nothing. Wang Yu could only place a Water Snail Meat as bait on each trap.

He left the Shelter and lit his Oil Lamp. Traveling with a torch was exhausting; not only was the light unstable, but he had to relight it every few minutes.

He opened the Oil Lamp.

[Oil Lamp (123/180)]

This was the first Oil Lamp he used, and it could last for another 57 minutes.

Carrying the Oil Lamp, Wang Yu headed towards the creek. As he passed a Cedar Wood about 60 centimeters thick, Wang Yu checked the status of the 'Pine Oil Collector'. All four 'Pine Oil Collectors' had collected 14ml of pine oil.

Very good.

With four 'Pine Oil Collectors' gathering pine oil, he wouldn't lack fuel for lighting in the future. He could use the Oil Lamp for traveling.

Wang Yu was no longer in a tight spot. Having achieved lighting freedom, he carried the Oil Lamp and quickly passed through the forest, descending the Steep Slope.

He arrived at the creek and began checking the 12 traps he had set.

When he reached the first trap, the Water Snail Meat on it was gone, but the trap hadn't caught any prey.

The next few traps were the same: the bait was gone, but no prey was caught.

This indicated that there were Wild Beasts nearby that had eaten his Water Snail Meat, but the traps hadn't caught them.

It was truly frustrating.

When Wang Yu was checking the sixth trap, he saw three Prompt Messages on the ground from a distance.

[Wild Rat Meat 360g]

[Wild Rat Skin * 1]

[Copper Coin * 63]

He had caught prey! Wang Yu immediately went over and picked up the Wild Rat Meat.

With 360g of meat, this Wild Rat was not small.

Then Wang Yu picked up the Wild Rat Skin. This rat skin, a little larger than his palm, was furry, and he didn't know what use it had. He put it away for now.

Finally, Wang Yu collected the Copper Coins.

The traps finally yielded something today. Wang Yu continued his inspection.

Wang Yu had no harvest from the next two traps. When checking the ninth trap, Wang Yu saw three more Prompt Messages.

[Dwarf Rabbit Meat 360g]

[Wild Rat Skin *1]

[Copper Coin *63]

What a double blessing.

More Wild Rat Meat. Wang Yu understood. The Water Snail Meat he had put down was likely stolen by these wild rats. It seemed using Water Snail Meat as bait was feasible.

Wang Yu checked the remaining traps, but there were no further catches.

However, today's harvest was excellent. The traps caught two wild rats, yielding 720g of Wild Rat Meat, two Wild Rat Skins, and 126 Copper Coins.

Since Water Snail Meat could be used as bait, and Wang Yu still had 740g of Water Snail Meat, he continued to place a piece of Water Snail Meat in each trap as bait.

Returning to the Shelter, it was almost nine o'clock in the evening. Wang Yu rested by the Fire Pit.

Around nine o'clock at night, he could use the dice again to increase the quantity of items.

Wang Yu had a plan. What he lacked most now was food, so Wang Yu intended to increase his food supply.

He currently had several types of food: 300g of Dwarf Rabbit Meat, 320g of Pincer Fish Meat, 1000g of Giant Lizard, and 2 * 360g of Wild Rat Meat.

After some thought, Wang Yu decided to increase the amount of rabbit meat. He wanted to eat Grilled Fish, but Water Snail Meat and fish were both aquatic. He needed a food that he could eat alternately with Water Snail Meat, so Wang Yu chose rabbit meat.

Taking out the rabbit meat, Wang Yu spread his right hand and produced the dice. The dots on the six faces of the dice had all returned to gold.

"Increase the quantity of this portion of rabbit meat."

He rolled the dice.

Three.

Wang Yu rolled another three.

At this moment, three Light Balls appeared on the dice, representing the Phantoms of three portions of rabbit meat.

Following Wang Yu's thoughts, three more portions of 300g rabbit meat appeared in his hand, bringing his total to four portions of 300g rabbit meat.

After placing the four portions of rabbit meat into his Backpack, there was still plenty of time, so he didn't rest.

Wang Yu left the Shelter and went into the forest. He had chopped five Cedar Woods today. Cedar Woods had many branches. Wang Yu tied the branches together one by one and then moved all the Cedar Wood branches outside the Shelter.

After finishing everything, Wang Yu returned to the Shelter. It was time to sleep.

Before sleeping, Wang Yu checked the messages in the Chat Channel. Today, every Player had crafted a Pine Oil Collector, but each Player had only crafted one. No matter how many Pine Trees they chopped, they couldn't get another Pine Oil Collector to Explode Out.

It seemed each Player only had one Pine Oil Collector.

With the 'Pine Oil Collector', most players became optimistic.

Wang Yu browsed the [Chat Channel] for a while before lying down to sleep.

At past three in the morning, his alarm clock rang. He could now use the dice to increase the quantity of items again.

Wang Yu had a plan. He took out the Tin Bucket, then took out the dice.

"Increase the quantity of this Tin Bucket."

After feeling the Tin Bucket being locked on, Wang Yu rolled the dice.

Five points.

Wang Yu rolled a five.

At this moment, five light balls appeared on the dice, phantoms of five Tin Buckets.

"Hahaha~"

Wang Yu couldn't quite believe it. Last night he rolled a five, and today he rolled a five again.

Taking out the five Tin Buckets, he now had six Tin Buckets, filling the ground everywhere with them.

He wouldn't lack containers for things from now on.

After putting the Tin Buckets away, Wang Yu continued to sleep.

The next day, Wang Yu woke up at eight in the morning.

Today was the third day of the Survival Game.

After waking up, Wang Yu immediately went to check the situation of the 12 Traps. Yesterday, the 12 Traps had caught two Wild Rats. He started to feel some anticipation for the Traps.

When checking the first few Traps, the Water Snail Meat on the Traps had been eaten, but the Traps hadn't caught any Prey. Wang Yu could only take out more Water Snail Meat and place it on the Traps as Bait.

While checking the seventh Trap, Wang Yu saw three Prompt Messages on the ground.

[Wild Rat Meat 360g]

[Wild Rat Skin * 1]

[Copper Coin * 63]

He had caught a Wild Rat again. Wang Yu stepped forward and picked up the Wild Rat Meat, Wild Rat Skin, and Game Currency, then placed a Water Snail Meat as Bait.

Continuing forward, he checked the remaining Traps. After checking all 12 Traps, no other Traps had caught any Prey.

This morning's Harvest was one Wild Rat.

Having Food come in was naturally worth celebrating.

Wang Yu prepared to return to the Shelter. He used a Tin Bucket to scoop a bucket of water from the Creek and put it into his [Backpack], then began his return journey.

Following the Creek upstream, he ascended the Steep Slope and entered the Big Tree Forest. Wang Yu arrived in front of a Cedar Wood that was over sixty centimeters thick. At this time, the four 'Pine Oil Collectors' on the Cedar Wood had all collected thirty milliliters of Pine Oil.

Wang Yu took out a Tin Bucket, removed the four 'Pine Oil Collectors' one by one, and poured the Pine Oil from them into the Tin Bucket.

He collected a total of one hundred twenty milliliters of Pine Oil.
