Soon, An Jiaxin found out the safe zone, which means the center of the island where there is enough place for accommodation, food and safe water.
There is no map for the first round, so she has to do everything by herself.
The island was a quiet one, to the point that no one will say it has any population. Even so, An Jiaxin remained alert in her five senses in case she fell in any disaster.
"Hmm… where are the supplies placed in? I couldn't find them." An Jiaxin felt as if she was stuck in the same place for a long time, as if she was walking in a circle, only to end up in the beginning.
Feeling exhausted, she sat down on the ground without a care as she bent her head down.
"What is this?" Suddenly, she discovered a little sign on the ground before her. It resembled a snake eating its own tail.
"Sign of Ouroboros? That means I was truly walking around the same circle before?" An Jiaxin touched the sign with curiosity as she felt cold in her palm.
It's not made of mud, it was more like bronze with its color. An Jiaxin felt like it was resembling a button, so she unconsciously pressed on it.
Ah?
Suddenly, she felt a vibration coming from downwards, An Jiaxin jumped off of the ground trying to avoid the vibration.
But it was already too late as the ground tore in two pieces beneath her feet and vanished.
Ahhh!
Bang!
She felt her eyelids turn heavy as her vision went blurred, even with a dizzy head, An Jiaxin tried her best to keep her consciousness.
Within a few minutes, her body recovered slowly as her dizziness dissipated, leaving her in a dark pit under the ground.
Bang!
"Uwagh! What is this?"
The dark surrounding and musty smell of rotten flesh made An Jiaxin come back to her senses very quickly.
She stood up as she cleaned the dust off of her clothes and looked around curiously, despite falling inside a dark cave, her injuries weren't that describable.
But…
Where did this cave come from?
'What is this place?'
She stood up as she looked around the dark pit within the cave-like place, until she found a thin ray of light to walk in that direction.
She can only do as the system tells her for now, if she wants to get out of this damn cave.
"What should I do here?" An Jiaxin greeted her teeth hard as she restrained herself and asked the system.
[There is nothing much you can do right now anyway, I suggest you go and follow the light to explore.]
'Explore? With this body condition?'
"Fine, I'll go then!" An Jiaxin suppressed her pain, smashing her teeth together as she looked up and started to walk towards the light.
But her luck was actually really bad that as she took the first step, An Jiaxin felt something cold and slippery under her feet that made her fall to the ground upside down once again.
"Gah! My nose…"
"I didn't even fight with anyone, why still get beaten up like this?" She stood up again while wiping the muds off her face as she looked down to see what it was in the ground.
"Eh? It's a… jade earring? What's this thing doing here?" She picked up the ear ring from the ground as she examined the thing up close.
The ear ring on her hand felt like it had three long chains along with a pearl bead in the end of each chain, and the earring felt very smooth and pleasing to the hand too.
"Hmm? There seemed to be something engraved outside the ring? I can feel it with touch, but the cave doesn't have enough light for me to read it."
Well, since she can read it after getting out of the cave, An Jiaxin decided to let it be for now as she pinned the ring on her ear.
[Congratulations to the Player for obtaining the Jade Space Earring!]
"What? This earring has a space?" An Jiaxin was surprised, but happy to hear this.
She can use this spare space when her inventory gets full!
An Jiaxin's eyes lit up at the thought as she stood up straight, since she was already here, exploring inside a little won't hurt right?
With that in mind, An Jiaxin took a deep breath as she took her first step inside the cave.
An Jiaxin limped on her legs, but she remained still as she dragged her feets with all her mental strength until she reached the last corner, where the light ball stopped in its tracks.
"What is—" the strong various lights coming from the corner made her curious as she sat down to take a rest.
But just when she sat down, An Jiaxin felt something cold lying under her butt that made her feel shiver and chills as she freaked out.
Ah!
"Huh? Oh, what's that?" An Jiaxin stood up as fast as a spring, she took a few steps back and looked down on the ground slowly to see what it was.
Ding!
[The player has achieved a Spatial Jade Token!]
"This… is a jade token? What's this thing doing here?" She bent over to pick up the cold white jade piece that was curved beautifully.
[The Player can use it as your identity token!]
"Can I really do that?"
[The curving font will be chosen based on the Player's personal choice!]
"Well then, fine." An Jiaxin decided on a random font as she clicked on the button.
A curving automatically appeared in the jade token with her identity specified, which amazed her a little.
This was even more advanced than the high technology she used in the past, to be exact.
Because she couldn't just curve a jade piece out of nowhere whenever she wanted.
[Player, choose your items that you need as supplies from here. You have to go back up soon.]
