On the third day, Jennifer made herself a little bag out of leaves and sticks.

Originally, she thought about simply using local materials to make clothes for herself, and then used the cotton clothes issued by the program group to protect her calves, but this idea disappeared after finding a suitable wide blade.

These broad, plantain-like leaves are easy to spot. They are emerald green, with only a deep dark green in the middle, like paint running down the stalks.

The broad leaves are very tough and can be bent up to [-] degrees without stopping; they are not afraid of fire, and can be used as tin foil to insulate the fire, which is a good material.Local residents of Peru often use it in ingredients, wrap meat slices and fish for baking, and give food a unique plant aroma.

It might be called maito or maitto, but it's a local name and it's hard to tell.

Jennifer completed the task of making the package with metole and rattan, and put all the portable resources collected in the past few days into it, and put it on the bedside, waiting for the new map to open.

The adaptation period passed quickly.

In the early morning of the fourth day, the ring of life and the camera group were turned on at the same time. One displayed the battle situation in the air, and the other displayed the map in the air.Ten red dots jump around the outer circle of the map, forming a horizontal oval together, and the green dot representing the character is closest to the bottom red dot.

Look at the scale of the map again——

"The closest robot is less than 50 miles away."

Jennifer is quite grateful for this.

Fifty miles is only a half-day journey for marathon runners. It will be longer in the jungle, and it will take about two or three days. Compared with other mission points that are often separated by hundreds or even hundreds of kilometers, this southern mission point Almost like an angel.

There is no need to hesitate about where to go.

She turned off the projection screen, packed her bags and weapons, adjusted the direction according to the map, and then started heading towards the south end.

***

Jennifer's estimate was mostly accurate.

It took almost three days to get from the camp to the mission point, during which there were several difficult journeys.

After starting the journey, she slept in a simple vine hammock, and occasionally tied herself to thicker branches.There is not much time to stop and hunt, and the food is also sourced from anywhere, and occasionally a chili is seasoned.

After walking for a long time, she didn't feel any problem walking barefoot at all.The dirt and debris that came into contact with the soles of her feet told her more, sometimes as if they had popped into her head.

The ordinary jungle road is relatively easy to walk, but the more troublesome thing is the cliff. There are no long enough and strong enough vines, so she can only choose to detour.This led to a delay of several hours.

It was the evening of the sixth day when the green dot and the red dot coincided.

Jennifer didn't know exactly what the mission site would be like. The program team only said that there would be a robot that would distribute missions and medals, but didn't say whether it was a bare robot or a complete camp; she also didn't know how many players had arrived Pass this mission point, but there should be no group that is closer to the south end than them, and the stock of 50 medals is more than enough.

Seeing that it was getting late, she somewhat hoped that there would be a camp to rest.

However......

It's too sweet to count on the show crew to set up camp.

After bypassing a few trees and entering the clearing, the so-called mission point is actually only a simple robot, a suitcase and a camera group.

The cameras flying in the air are not the same as the round cameras distributed to the contestants. They look more like drones. Each camera is only the size of two palms, with movable weapon pipes underneath.

Compared with the camera, the suitcase looks ordinary.

It is brown all over, and a circle is drawn around the side with dark red branches.

Jennifer stepped into the red circle cautiously, and the robot suddenly changed from a static state to a moving state, shooting a blue light to scan her from top to bottom, and then projected a projection in front of the suitcase.

This projection is a seven or eight-year-old girl. She has long brown hair, wears a beautiful red dress, and has no expression on her face. She is completely incompatible with the forest.

Most importantly...the image looks familiar.

Stark wouldn't have named her the Red Queen, would he?

Jennifer complained in her heart and said, "I'll take up the task."

The ai projection took two steps towards the side of the suitcase. She glowed a strange pearly white in the dim light of the dense forest. I don't know what technology was used. It was so real that it looked like a ghost.

"Please show your ring of life."

Following the instructions, Jennifer raised the ring of life worn on her left hand.The same blue light swept across the body, and immediately turned into an approved green light.

Only then did the projection show a smile.

"Identity verification in progress...Identity verification completed, welcome, Jennifer Davis."

She pointed her finger to the right, and countless blue data lines flowed out along her fingertips, instantly building a new square block in mid-air, on which words began to slowly emerge.

[Location: South 3rd. 】

[Mission: Find the Toucan]

[Abstract: Ornithologist Watson has been studying the magical birds living in the tropical rainforest all year round. By chance, he learned that there is a group of Toco toucans near the camp.The road to the toucans' nests is tough, and with only four days left in the research period, Watson asks you to go find these fascinating birds on his behalf. 】

【Accept the mission?whether】

Will any player refuse the mission?

No, it should be, does this damn mission have a previous story?

The most embarrassing thing is that as the text emerged, the holographic projection also made a busy camp, as if there was indeed such a scientist.

Jennifer felt like she was playing a holographic game.

In order not to start thinking about the relationship between players, npcs, and GMs, she quickly chose "yes" in mid-air, sincerely hoping that no more dramatic scenes would happen.

Fortunately, the projected Dr. Watson just nodded kindly.

[You have accepted the task of "Looking for the Toucan". In order to complete it as soon as possible, the ornithologist Dr. Watson will give you some information... The task tracking program is loading... The target point is being checked ...the route is being formulated...five, four, three, two, one...the map is open. 】

There is no connection between the blue light and the ring of life. It is more like a program that has been programmed to start automatically, and a huge rainforest map suddenly pops up from the screen of the ring of life.

The map displayed on the fourth day was very simple, and saying that it is simple would exaggerate it. There is no detailed terrain, and no rivers or waterfalls are marked. From the beginning to the end, there are only competition areas, green dots representing characters and red dots representing mission npcs .Now there is a bright irregular shape on it, and the yellow line connects the green dot and the shape.

"Is this where I'm going?" Jennifer asked, pointing to the irregular shape.

"Yes." Dr. Watson replied, "I'm sure that this group of toucans live within the marked range. You have four days to find them. As long as you find them, I will pay you the relevant rewards."

After he finished speaking, Panorama No. [-], which was useless along the way, suddenly flew down from a high altitude.

The girl projection commanded the robot to open the suitcase, and stuffed a square box into the camera through the side opening.The No. [-] machine didn't look much bigger than this box, but it easily accommodated the "reward" and flew towards the sky again.

"So I don't need to come back here." Jennifer pondered, "As long as you find the toucan, the task will be completed automatically. Give me the medal at the first chance?"

"If you are in the top fifty." The little girl said, "If you finish too late, machine number one will use the medals as 'nutrients'."

What kind of ghostly setting is this?

Jennifer has begun to doubt life, but she has a little curiosity about the ten tasks.

But now is not the time to consider other missions. From the map, the irregular area is in the middle of the mission point at the southern end and the mission point on its right. You can go directly to the next target point after completing the mission.

"It turns out that this is a circular track." She immediately understood.

Contestants only need to walk around the red dots without detours, which can greatly save time in running around in the jungle.

Back to the first task.

The time limit given by Dr. Watson is four days. Calculating the scale, the distance between here and the habitat is no more than [-] kilometers. Four days is very generous, and it doesn't look like it is difficult at all.

Could it be that toucans live in seclusion and are not easy to find?

Not like it?

Jennifer never believed that the show crew would be so kind.

She glanced at the holographic projection, carefully searching for the information she had missed—ornithologist, why did the mission description emphasize "ornithologist" several times?Is it simply to make the background more believable?

Thinking of the words typed just now, "Dr. Watson, the ornithologist, will give you some information"...

Looking at the projection that had already walked to the workbench, Jennifer suddenly asked with happiness: "Mr. Watson, do you have more information about the Toco toucan?"

"What?" Projection adjusted his glasses and turned around.He looked very surprised. For a few seconds, Jennifer thought that he had made a wrong judgment, and then he slapped his forehead suddenly, "By the way, I have information to give you, and I almost forgot."

[Description: Toco Toucan is the largest toucan in the world and has high ornamental value and research value.They build their nests in tree holes on tall trees and use the same nest for a long time.This bird often goes out for food in the early morning and dusk——]

"So there is still time." Jennifer raised her eyebrows.

The information gives the location and time to look for birds, which is much better than a black eye.Sure enough, there is no reason for the task point to make a holographic projection and let the AI ​​control it. Stark is too good at playing.

She continued to look down, hoping to find more information.

[—Food: fruits, insects, eggs, chicks and small birds. 】

[Habitat: Swamp forest (dangerous). 】

Swamp, swamp, tree, forest.

Jennifer: "..."

She looked at the map given by the ring of life again, and the whole person fell into a state of expressionlessness.

Find a ghostly toucan. This task is clearly for people to go one-on-one with dangerous creatures living in the swamp. No wonder this unlucky show is not called "Wild Survival" but "Wilderness Challenge". face.

At this moment, Dr. Watson said sincerely: "Good luck!"

The little girl's projection also quickly showed a smiling face: "Good luck!"

Jennifer felt the malice from the mission NPC, she looked at the darkening sky, and walked decisively towards the big tree nearby.

Isn't it just going to a swamp?

At least tonight there is an armed drone vigil at Mission Point.
