"Oh, right. The game issued a Region-Wide Announcement this morning. It said this month was supply search month, and they even put out a points leaderboard."
Su Ye changed the subject, bringing up what had happened that morning.
"That's normal. It's part of the Survival Game's regular event cycle." Zheng An smiled, unsurprised.
"You'll also run into mileage month, hunt month, survival month, and all sorts of other events."
"Mileage month compares how far players travel over the course of a month. The farther you go, the better the rewards, but the dangers you encounter along the way also increase exponentially."
"Hunt month is pure slaughter. You earn points by hunting monsters. All the monsters go berserk during that month, and players can steal hunting points from each other."
"As for survival month, that's the most grueling one. The Survival Road won't provide any resource crates for the entire month. Not even a drop of water or a piece of bread will spawn."
"Players have to survive that month on their stockpiles, but simply staying alive isn't enough. They have to live well and comfortably. The system scores them based on their living conditions."
"Anyway, there's no shortage of bizarre events. They're also how the game forces players to keep getting stronger and burning through supplies."
Su Ye nodded in understanding.
The Survival Game was like an enormous breeding pit, using all sorts of events to force players to fight for their lives.
Su Ye chatted with Zheng An a little longer, then the six soldiers began attacking one another. Su Ye delivered the finishing blows, and six Function Modules dropped.
"Pretty good luck. Every one of them dropped a Function Module." Su Ye nodded in satisfaction and picked up the six Function Modules.
