Digging To Survive: I Can See Hints Chapter 24
Advertisement
It wasn't surprising for Klein to encounter players in this catacomb.
There were billions of people in the world. Even if a portion of them had been eliminated, it was still a huge number.
The number of people in the Fishing Zone's channel was originally one thousand, but now, there were more than seven hundred people left. They gradually stood firm in the catacombs.
After more than a dozen excavations, Klein was already far away from his starting point.
It was definitely the same for the other players in the region.
As long as the catacombs were connected to each other, there was always a chance of meeting each other.
Klein wasn't interested in meeting the two players. He was more interested in the period of time before they entered the catacomb.
The wall was intact, and just as he had guessed, the sound was completely isolated.
When the two of them entered the catacomb, they didn't appear with their feet or hands first. Instead, their complete bodies appeared at the same time.
In other words, the moment they stepped into the black hole, it was a bit like space-time teleportation!
Perhaps the black hole wasn't thin, but when players stepped into it, they would have an illusion.
"I have no interest in joining your team."
Klein directly rejected Jack's suggestion.
Joining the team was fine, but the prerequisite was that the other party had something that Klein wanted.
The two of them were covered in dust. They only had a short knife and a short hair on their weapons, and they weren't any better off.
Furthermore, Klein could see the hint and avoid any risks. There was no need for him to repeat his words and let others take advantage of him for no reason.
"Not joining?"
Tracking Jack's gaze, Tom said, "Isn't it better for everyone to practice and survive in the catacombs? As the saying goes, two fists can't block four hands. You should understand this principle."

As he spoke, he intentionally or unintentionally made use of the short knife in his hand.
It looked like he was trying to dissuade him, but in fact, he was full of threats.
Two fists were no match for four hands. Wasn't it just Klein alone against the two of them!?
As for the little fox, Jack didn't take it to heart.
What kind of evil intentions could a cute little fox have?
It might be Klein's reserve rations.
When the two of them entered the catacombs, they didn't see the Rock Armor Crocodile's corpse.
Otherwise, they would definitely leave obediently.
'What can you two men provide me? Let me be clear in advance that my sexual orientation is fine.'
Klein chuckled. "I don't need to rely on others to survive in the catacombs. Please feel free to leave."
Jack's arm touched his companion Tom without leaving a trace.
The two of them exchanged glances.
Tom immediately understood Jack's thoughts. After hesitating for a moment, he nodded slightly.
He agreed with Jack's idea --
Seize the material goods!
Klein was too famous. Everyone knew that he was a big piece of meat.
If Klein joined, everything would be fine.
If he didn't join, then don't blame them for being ruthless.
If he wanted to live longer, he had to be ruthless. He had to take a gamble!
"Klein, hand over half common goods you have, and we can let you go."
Jack and Tom held their weapons and approached step by step.
The two of them bet that Klein would admit defeat.
Handing over half was equivalent to giving Klein a chance to live, so Klein wouldn't be desperate.
"Only half?"
Klein said in surprise.
"Yes, as long as you are willing to cooperate honestly, we will only take half."

Jack thought that Klein had agreed, and he was overjoyed.
As expected, he had made the right bet!
Klein shook his head and said, "I just feel that you guys aren't ruthless enough. What a pity..."
"What's a pity?"
Jack felt a chill.
Klein shook his head and said, "Aren't you guys a little slow-witted? Do you really think that I relied on luck to gather so many resources?"
Klein grabbed with his hand, and the runic crossbow appeared in his hand.
The two people opposite him saw the runic crossbow. No player had long-range weapons. They were all melee weapons.
As a result, the two of them didn't think too much about it.
In close combat, there was definitely an advantage in numbers.
Klein didn't look tall or strong.
"Ahem, Boss, we were just joking just now. Don't be rash."
Tom's mind was sharp as he hurriedly said something nice.
Shoo!
A crossbow arrow pierced through Jack's chest, bringing with it a flower of blood.
Jack widened his eyes as his body fell backward.
"Boss, spare me!"
Tom was frightened and hurriedly knelt down.
After all, he wasn't a warrior who had been through hundreds of battles. He was instantly scared and didn't rush forward with his short spear.
"Sorry, I don't like to joke around."
The moment he said that, another arrow flew out.
Tom was so frightened that he wet his pants as he slumped to the ground.
The arrow had brushed past his cheek.
"Uh, sorry, I missed."
Klein smiled awkwardly. An arrow appeared in his hand and was quickly loaded.
Without waiting for Tom's reaction, another arrow was fired.
This time, it hit him right in the forehead.
Both of them died.
"Unfortunately, there are no souls."
Klein now understood that not all creatures had souls.
The two corpses could be stored in space and disintegrated.
However, Klein wasn't interested in this.
He hadn't reduced his standards to the point of eating human flesh!
"A short hair, a short knife, and two runic bases."
"How do I take out the things in the runic base?"
Klein picked up his weapon and took out two runic base metal balls.
[System notification: Ordinary Spear+1]
[System notification: Ordinary Short Knife+1]
[System notification: Ownerless Runic Base+2]
[System notification: Ownerless Runic Base detected. Do you wish to absorb it?]
"Eh, I can absorb it?"
Klein took out his runic base and said, "Absorb it all."
The two ownerless runic bases transformed into streams of light and entered Klein's runic base.
Buzz! The runic base took a light frame.
The number of runes on the surface increased.
[System notification: Absorption successful.]
[System notification: Iron Block+18]
[System notification: Wood+22]
[System notification: Copper Block+16]
..
[System notification: Map (Medium)+1]
[System Notification: Incomplete Crypt Biology Guide (Damaged)+1]

System notifications popped up one after another.
It was small harvest.

The boy who fell in love with a tree
This is a story about a boy who fell in love with a tree… A story about powerful people changing the rulebook to stack the odds and line their pockets… I aim to create a story that will transport us so we get a glimpse of what that boy felt. The first 4 Chapters might be classified as a prologue depending on how you look at it. The boy quickly grows and the story really starts when the System arrives on Earth. I’m trying to achieve a relatively slow power progression and guide what we learn at a pace following the people in the story. There will be fighting but It’s more focused on base building. The MC is not all-powerful and all-knowing but he has some significant advantages. I’m trying to create a universe that makes sense in its own context. Much of what you will find, are my own world views, in a magnified way, as to make it for interesting fiction. The story took a life of its own when I started to write and I’m really happy with it. Not all of the tags I have marked will immediately be applied. There is stuff planned for far in the future such as the Sci-fi tag. There might be some cursing and gore but it is not very often. -------------- English is not my primary language, so I ask everyone to be forgiving. If you see a glaring error I would appreciate a msg but it is not feasible to fix everything. And if the story offends you, I wish you happiness, reading what you enjoy. ------------- Img link: https://unsplash.com/photos/EwKXn5CapA4

New Game (Reborn as a Reluctant Demon Lord, Book 1)
Portal Fantasy. Isekai. A daydream of nerds everywhere, leaving behind their boring world and living in a fantasy one that is full of adventure. A daydream that became a reality for me and 1000 other Comic-Con attendees. Except for me, it was more of a nightmare. Wanting nothing more than to find a way home, and also saddled with being the world's new [Demon Lord], I found myself trapped in a gamelike world and also somehow a part of the [Hero's] party. So join me as I tell the tale of my struggles. A tale of levels and skills. A tale of cagey game admins and bugs. And a tale of our party's grand quest to defeat... Well... Me. ---- What to expect from this book? 1. A main character who is not overpowered (and instead has to go from near-useless to strong. Not just weak to strong). If you are looking for an OP [Demon Lord] who laughs at his weakling enemies... This isn't for you. 2. A meandering pace as the characters aren't told how a lot of the world works and have to figure it out themselves. (And because there are a lot of characters. Whose idea was it to have a party of 9? I blame Jake) 3. A tragedy. A lot of things are not going to go well for the protagonist. (Not that everything is tragedy all the time. There is humor, laughter, friendship, and even a mascot monster character who got way more popular than I expected. But this is not a story that will leave you uplifted and inspired after every time you read it). ---- Release Schedule and publishing information: Book 1 is complete! I will include a link to book 2 once it has been started. Feel free to give feedback, positive or negative. ---- Other notes Book 1? Yes, this says Book 1. There are probably going to be 3 books. No, the plot as you can guess is not going to be tortured to drag out all the way to book 3. That would be ridiculous. If you can guess the plot of books 2 or 3 at any point before the last chapter of book 1, please use your clairvoyant powers for something more productive. TitusGM? This story is intentionally told under the username TitusGM because the idea is that he was the one actually writing everything down what happened after it all is over. I initially planned to answer everything in character on this site, but that just really didn't work out. If you want an in character response to a comment, simply prefix it with IC: (I also try to leave that as a reminder in the author's note after each new chapter) Cover art?
