As Su May was driving she looked at the [Chat Channel]
"I'm currently selling Sanitary Napkins for any food. Private message me to negotiate."
The [Chat Channel] erupted, but before it did Su May clicked on the avatar.
It was of a young man in his early 20's. Su May clicked to private message him.
"Excuse me, but could I potentially buy some sanitary napkins?" Su May asked.
"Do you have food?" he replied.
"Yeah. I have two cups of Cooked Instant noodles. Do you have any high end ones?"
...
A young man with stubble and a face that mixed between still a child and a grown up looked at his inventory.
He had 50 High-end Sanitary Napkins and about 200 Ordinary ones.
...
Su May just got to her sixth resource box when he messaged.
"How many do you need?"
Su May, somewhat surprised by this, took a second to conpose herself.
"I was hoping I could get 50 Ordinary and 10 High-end."
"I will give them to you, but I want something in return."
"If it is within my ability."
"Can I become your younger brother and get top priority to any resources you don't need?"
"How about this," Su May countered. "I will become your big sister and whatever I may have extra of I will give you all that if you can give me priority with the pads when I may need them. If I can get the 50 Ordinary Pads and 10 High-end pads I will give you Cooked Pork and Cooked Instant Noddles plus a bottle of 500mL Clean Glacier Water."
"Deal."
Su May initiated the trade and put Cooked Pork, Cooked Instant Noodles, and a bottle of 500mL Clean Glacier Water and he put the pads.
[Trade Successful.]
[Lin Zho has sent you a friend request.]
Su May accepted.
"Should I ever get any resources I won't need I'll think of you little borther Lin. And should I ever need Pads I will come to you."
"Alright Big Sister. I'll be on my way, but I'll hope to see you soon."
Su May smiled as she had made an ally whether temporary or not mattered little.
She then messaged her tutor.
"Bai Shu. Do you need anything?"
"Su May! Not at the moment no. Why?"
"I'm just trying to make allies as my intuition tells me if I ever cone across anyone with bad intentions I'll end up with a target on my back."
"... Your intuitions are never wrong. If you need muscle 'll be by your side."
"Thank you. I have an ally already, but I'm hoping you can be my ally too."
"Who is your other ally?"
"Lin Zho. We made a little agreement and he became my little brother. I want you and him as allies."
"Alright. I'll work with him to male sure ypu stay safe. After all I've thought of you as family while we were in school and I protect my family."
"I trust you. If there is anything you need just let me know. My intuition is also telling me that we may need weapons if we make it to the second world. I'll also give you any excess resources I may have."
What Su May didn't say is that Bai Shu would protect her till the end because that is what he did even in her last life. Even though he got to her a little late she heard him fight for her. She wanted to keep him alive a long as possible and Lin Zho was in a similar case. Even though they just chatted once in Su May's last life she felt a connection to him and wanted to keep him alive aswell.
Su May then realized she wasted time so she got out and opened the resource box.
[Congratulations on opening an Uncommon Resource Box and obtaining Metal *60, Glass *60, Rubber *60, Slow Cooked Brisket *2, 500mL Clean Glacier Water *2]
As Su May got to her car she noticed a timer counting down.
[1:00:00]
[0:59:59]
[0:59:58]
Su May knew it was counting down to night.
...
An hour later night enveloped the world.
The Game Voice sounded.
[At dawn the next day your Novice Protection will end. If you stay in your car you will survive. Any venturing outside will lead to death if you are not better equipped both mentally and physically. Seeing as it's only the first world no dangers will be present in the supply boxes. Good night Survivors.]
Su May got comfortable and opened her Panel opening [Chat Channel].
It was a mess, but filled with what she saw in her previous life.
Knowing that she would outlive everyone made her somewhat depressed, but she quickly shoom the feeling off and watched.
As the night grew old Su May messaged Lin Zho and Bai Shu respectively and told them good night then she fell asleep oblivious to the world around her.
