5: The drop rate is too low!

“Is that… could it be Xiao Yun?”

He was over 1.8 meters tall, with neat short hair, dressed in a clean school uniform.

Seeing the figure not far away, Lu Xueqing recognized him at a glance.

“Why doesn’t he have any equipment? Should I go say hello?”

Lu Xueqing had entered the restricted area a few minutes before Xiao Yun.

Unfortunately, her spawn point this round was in the Substation, located in the eastern part of the map.

Although this was a high-resource area of Dam No. 0, it was extremely dangerous.

Not only were there countless Asala Soldiers, but there were also many people who had geared up and liked to scavenge for supplies here.

Lu Xueqing was both bold and meticulous.

Listening to the footsteps around her, she managed to escape without being discovered by anyone!

This kind of feat was difficult for a normal person to achieve.

Just one careless step, treading a bit too heavily, would alert the surrounding Asala Soldiers.

Then, all the soldiers in the vicinity would receive the information and converge on her position.

If she were to be surrounded by Asala Forces, even if Lu Xueqing had Level 3 armor, relying solely on an unmodded Uzi submachine gun would clearly be insufficient to resist them.

However, Lu Xueqing accomplished such a difficult and seemingly impossible task!

Afterward, she carefully made her way to her current location, scavenging along the way.

Upon arriving, Lu Xueqing was about to head to the extraction point when she spotted Xiao Yun.

“He must have just entered, right?”

“He’s not carrying any equipment; that’s very dangerous!”

“Should I share some supplies with him and ask him to extract with me?”

Lu Xueqing thought to herself.

Although she was scavenging this round, she had found quite a lot of supplies.

Most of these supplies were of white quality, each worth two to three thousand haifu coins.

There were a few scattered green quality items, valued at five to six thousand.

Putting these things together, the items in her backpack were already worth over thirty thousand!

“Ugh, how do I get him to notice me?”

Lu Xueqing was troubled.

She dared not make a sound, fearing she would alert the surrounding Asala Soldiers.

Just as she was about to slowly approach Xiao Yun, trying to see if she could get close to him, unexpectedly, the next second, Xiao Yun directly started running towards the Cement Factory!

“Oh no! This newbie!”

“He definitely doesn’t know there are many soldiers stationed inside. If he goes in like that, he’ll surely be shot full of holes!”

“What should I do…?”

Lu Xueqing’s first thought was whether or not to save him.

But with her current equipment, she felt… going would just be a death wish.

“Right, he seems to be running towards the Dormitory Area!”

Lu Xueqing quickly moved to the southwest corner of the Cement Factory.

There was a shelf here that allowed one to climb over into the Dormitory Area.

Lu Xueqing carefully climbed up and then lay down in a relatively safe position on the shelf.

“If Xiao Yun comes here, he’ll definitely be able to hear me,” Lu Xueqing thought to herself.

“He’s truly worrisome.”

“Eh? Wait…”

“There’s also a blue storage bag here?”

“What an unexpected find!”

Lu Xueqing’s heart was instantly filled with pleasant surprise.

She hadn’t expected that her actions would lead her to discover a blue travel bag on the shelf directly below the Cement Factory!

Discovering an extra resource point meant she would have one more search opportunity when scavenging in the future.

Even if it only yielded some white or green quality items, it would still be a huge profit!

Thinking this, Lu Xueqing quickly opened the storage bag and began searching.

However, what she hadn’t expected was that while she was searching the storage bag, Xiao Yun had already swept through the entire Dormitory Area like a whirlwind, and was now running towards the Aviation Crate below the Rocket Soldier building!

...

“Why is the drop rate so low?!”

After searching the Dormitory Area, Xiao Yun arrived at the gap in the wall.

He complained while crouch-walking, “I searched an entire Dormitory Area, and all the items on the tables were white quality.”

“Nails, claw hammers, screwdrivers…”

“There wasn’t even a green one. Even the ordinary Dam isn’t this bad!”

“Honestly, I don’t even want to put these things in my pocket…”

He said that, but in reality, Xiao Yun still diligently put all the items he found into his briefcase.

After all, this wasn’t a game; it was the real world.

White quality items could still sell for a good amount of money.

Just the pile of white items he had just found was worth over twenty thousand.

Moreover, Xiao Yun had a hundred-slot secure container.

Could the supplies from one Cement Factory really fill his secure container?

“Without operator skills, running a knife run is truly a pain!”

After entering the restricted area, Xiao Yun also discovered this major problem.

In the game, each operator has their own skills.

Bee Doctor has medical needles and smoke, helping with healing and blocking sightlines.

Dragon has jet propulsion and bombs, allowing for acceleration and clearing out small enemies.

Hacker Claw is even stronger, with throwing knives and detection, capable of dealing with most dangers on a knife run.

But in this world, everyone who enters the restricted area is an ordinary person.

They don’t have the special skills of the operators, nor do they have their high stamina.

Xiao Yun was already feeling a bit out of breath just from searching the Dormitory Area.

“No wonder… no wonder the extraction rate in this world is so low.”

“There’s no Dragon… no Red Wolf… oh dear…”

By the time Xiao Yun ran to the bottom of the Rocket Soldier building, his stamina was almost depleted.

After entering the room, he leaned against the doorway, panting heavily.

[Tip: Operator skills can be purchased in the mall.]

[In addition, there is a gacha function, which offers a chance to obtain special items from other worlds.]

“The system has this function?”

Xiao Yun opened the system mall.

Instantly, skills for different operators appeared before his eyes.

And these skills were very cheap.

They only cost 50,000 to purchase.

Cheap… cheap my foot!

This wasn’t haifu coin from the game; it was real money!

Fifty thousand for one skill, even Tencent would cry at that price!

Xiao Yun silently complained in his heart.

But complaints aside, he was still very satisfied with the mall function.

After all, others couldn’t even buy these if they wanted to!

And he, through the various functions of the system, could upgrade infinitely and become infinitely stronger!

“As expected of the Knife Run Emperor System!”

Xiao Yun gave it a mental thumbs up.

In this world where everyone does knife runs, he could truly become an emperor through knife runs!

But that wasn’t the point now.

The point was that the Aviation Crate was right in front of him.

This was a rare resource point in the game; there were only six in the entire Dam No. 0, and the drop rate was second only to the large and small safes.

However, given the extremely low drop rate this round, Xiao Yun didn’t expect much.

He only hoped that it would drop items worth over ten thousand; if so, even if he died here, it would be a huge profit!

“Come on, let me see what good stuff is inside!”

...

“Game end time: 20 minutes 41 seconds”

A few minutes passed.

Xiao Yun’s figure slowly climbed out of the Aviation Crate.

He was frowning deeply, his mouth twitching.

In his hands were two power supplies covered in oil.

[Material: Power Supply

Rarity: Green

Price: 5992]

“What happened to the high drop rate of the Aviation Crate?!”
