**Regional Channel 666 (Abandoned Forest) 9983 / 10000**
In just one morning, 17 people died.
No one knew how they died, but it was certain that this forest was more dangerous than Lisa Greenwood had imagined.
But this also gave Lisa a new warning: she needed to be more cautious when going out in the future.
"So hungry, has anyone found a supply chest? Can you spare some food?"
"You can find one or two chests just by looking around outside. You probably didn't even go out, you idiot freeloader, go die."
"Have internet beggars already begged their way to Kalim?"
"Help, my Shelter is in a tree, at least thirty meters off the ground. Can anyone save me?"
You can't be saved. You should find a vine nearby and climb down yourself.
"There are wolf packs in the forest. Everyone, be careful when you go out Gathering."
So it was a wolf pack that was watching me last night. I thought it was some kind of monster I'd never seen before.
"Everyone, absolutely do not drink the stream water. I took one sip and felt terrible all over. I'm still having diarrhea."
Huh?
Can't drink stream water?
There's no reason, isn't it very clear?
Seeing this message, Lisa unconsciously sat up straight.
Although she hadn't thought about drinking it, she was considering using the stream water for bathing and washing clothes.
If there was something unclean in it, wouldn't her wish to bathe and change clothes be ruined?
Lisa immediately scrolled down to read more.
"Diarrhea? Shelters have toilets?"
"I found a treasure chest."
"What! You actually found a treasure chest! Big shot, quickly tell us what's inside!"
"Just a 500-gram loaf of bread, a bottle of water, and a box of tissues."
"You found water, so why did you drink the stream water?"
"I drank it before I found the treasure chest."
"Selling the bread? Two basic units."
"Get lost. Do you want a treasure chest full of poop?"
"Big shot, why are you so sure it was the stream water? It looked very clear and didn't seem polluted."
"Hmph, fear-mongering. I drank it and didn't feel anything."
"It was only when I came back with the treasure chest that I realized something was wrong. My personal information said my internal magic concentration was excessive."
"Excessive magic concentration? So the water has a high magic content, and the human body can't handle it?"
"How should I know? Get lost, all of you, get lost. Don't bother me while I'm on the toilet."
"Is that on the toilet, or on the treasure chest?"
"Hahahahaha…"
For a time, the chat channel was filled with cheerful air.
Excessive magic concentration?
That's a very novel idea.
However, recalling what the World's Will said yesterday when she first arrived in this world, "even the air is filled with abundant magic," it's quite normal for the stream water in this world to have a high magic concentration, isn't it?
Rather, it's already good that they can breathe magic-infused air without being poisoned.
No wonder all the supply boxes contain products from Blue Star. Is this a buffer period the World's Will left for them?
Lisa frowned, guessing.
At this moment, someone suddenly popped up in the channel, spewing curses that were incredibly foul, not knowing who he was directing his anger at.
From his avatar, this person was a big-bearded man with a cloth wrapped around his head, a typical Indian style.
After cursing for a while, under repeated questioning from the crowd, the old man finally recounted his experience.
"Damn it! Everyone, beware! That guy named James Bellman is a liar! The dog said he'd trade pickaxes with me yesterday, but after he tricked me into giving him my pickaxe, he wouldn't give me the axe!"
Alright, now it's clear.
Lisa still remembered the conversation about trading things last night. So he was cheated.
In a strange environment, he actually trusted someone he had never met before.
Lisa only wanted to say he deserved it.
"Liar? Are you talking about yourself, Asan Singh? Don't think I don't know you were jailed for fraud two years ago. How dare you come here and call someone else a liar."
Before James could speak, someone jumped out and started arguing with Asan Singh.
After that, the tone seemed to go awry.
"Oh, oh, oh, isn't this Charlie? What, not smuggling anymore, now you're a moral police?"
"Heh, I thought it was some dog barking. Isn't this Mike, who was almost beaten to death for illegal logging?"
"Hahahaha, I didn't notice last night, but today I see quite a few acquaintances!"
"Shut up, Shelter! You still haven't given me that money from last time, you bastard! You wait, don't let me find out where your Shelter is, or I'll kill you."
"Ha! Capone, do you still think you're some godfather? We're in another world now, everyone, be a bit more realistic, alright?"
"My goodness, what kind of Evil Men Valley is this? So many criminals."
"666, is this Karim World's Will planning to raise Gu by putting so many criminals together?"
"What kind of heavenly law did I break to be stuck in the same area as this bunch of beasts?"
"Very good, very good. I look forward to you born in the Abandoned Forest coming up with new tricks."
"Heh heh, dog eat dog, I love watching that."
"Alright, I've remembered your faces. Be careful when you go out. Don't let me run into you, or you won't have a good time."
"Oh, I'm so scared, my little heart is thumping. If you're so capable, come kill me through the magic desk's internet cable!"
"Fuck!"
"Damn KB elements, Blue Star has been unified for how many years, why aren't you all dead yet!"
...Watching these chat logs, even Lisa couldn't help but pinch the bridge of her nose.
Goodness.
After a quick look, at least more than half of the ten thousand people in the Abandoned Forest were criminals.
Robbery, theft, murder, fraud, corruption, poisoning, espionage, arson, drunk driving, smuggling, poaching, human trafficking, extortion, intimidation, counterfeiting and selling fake goods, making fake certificates... any crime you can think of, channel 666 can find you the corresponding 'talent'.
Anyway, there was everything.
Or just some troublemakers.
Lisa even saw the avatars of the tall, perverted man and the short, scarred man who had sneaked into her room last night in the channel.
To borrow someone's words from earlier.
What kind of Abandoned Forest is this? It's even more of an Evil Men Valley than the Evil Men Valley.
However, as long as she was careful and avoided everyone else's lives, it wouldn't have much impact on her.
After finishing a coconut bun and apple, Lisa cleaned up the trash, went outside, used Gathering Skill once to knock down some more vines from the tree trunk, and then returned to her Shelter with the vines.
Vines + 20
Hmm! Still 20?
Recalling the number of vines this morning, Lisa frowned slightly, then flew out again and used Gathering Skill on a tree.
The result was probably due to the tree being too large; one use of Gathering Skill was only equivalent to scraping the tree, and then she saw pieces of wood fall to the ground.
Lisa specifically counted them when she picked them up, and it was still twenty pieces.
Then she tried it on a stone, and it was still twenty pieces.
Could it be that the basic unit that **[Gathering Skill]** can gather is 20?
If so, it just matches the magic value consumed.
Based on her 80 magic value and a recovery rate of one point per minute, she could gather 80 basic units in one hour and twenty minutes.
Three thousand-plus basic unit materials would only take forty to fifty hours, or two to three days, to gather.
If she were to chop with a weapon, the time might be further shortened.
But unfortunately, she couldn't wield a weapon after running out of magic value like others.
She had to rest for more than an hour to fully restore her magic value.
This was also why she brought back that Alchemy notebook.
Just lying there doing nothing, unable to do anything, was truly a very painful thing.
Even though she now had a magic desk to read chats, she couldn't keep staring at that meaningless stuff.
Although she didn't know what Alchemy was like in this world, at least it could serve as a diversion in her life.
As for the E-rank monster core, it should, without a doubt, be from the creatures that were watching her last night.
It means she has to fight monsters... This made her feel a bit tricky.
Because she had no means of attack.
Never mind, let's go back to Blue Star first. I'll think about future matters later.
