0 o\'clock.
Ding~ The title "Money Makes Money" is triggered, gaining 28211 gold coins.
Ding~ The "Broken Bowl Treasure Gathering" is triggered, gaining one random item.
Ming lay in bed, checking the item he had randomly obtained from the Broken Bowl: [A Damaged Diary]

<It\'s the 30th day since I graduated from university and I still haven\'t found a job. Maybe it\'s just not my time yet, haha~ I\'m doing fine at the moment, staying positive and continuing to improve my little A.>
Page 10: <42 days after graduation, I still haven\'t found a job. Is it because my time hasn\'t come yet? I\'ve started to doubt myself. But no, I\'m filled with sunshine.
The good news is that Little A can answer simple questions now. For example, if you ask it how old it is, it will say, "Well, I\'m not as old as you," hehe~ It seems pretty smart.>
Page 21:
<On the 61st day after graduation, I started to deliver food. After all, I need to fill my belly first. I bought the electric bike with a loan. I should be able to pay it off after a month of work. The good news is, Little A can do simple calculations now.>
Page 29:
<It\'s the 15th day as a deliveryman. Today it rained heavily, and I was late for some deliveries. I was insulted as being ugly and that\'s why I am delivering food.
I returned home and looked at myself in the mirror. Perhaps I really am ugly. Is this the reason why I can\'t find a job?
What comforts me is that Little A seems to understand my sad expression. It showed a \'smile\' and an \'I love you\' on the screen, which made me feel a lot better.>
Page 43:
<After a full month of delivery, I got deducted for negative reviews. After paying off the loan, I still have 1023 yuan left. I plan to do this for another month to get a better home for Little A. At the very least, it won\'t freeze and distort its expression anymore.>
Page 58:
<The second month of delivering food ended, and I received a negative review again because they said I was creepy, haha~ But after paying rent and utilities, I can finally afford a better home for Little A. I\'m so happy~ It won\'t freeze anymore~ The next goal is to give Little A a real body. I\'m looking forward to it~>
"ZZZZZ..."
Ming fell asleep. The next morning when he woke up, he put the notebook in the warehouse. Actually, he is still very interested in Little A\'s story, but he has a lot to do today and can only read it when he has free time.
[Global Broadcast, before entering the fourth chapter, the following adjustments and updates will be made:]
[1. The regional and individual instances are no longer random. You can choose them in the "Map" option on the holographic screen. You can go wherever you want to go. It\'s fair, just, and transparent. Moreover, the rules remain the same.]
[2. The function of the Scroll of Town Portal is canceled. You can choose to teleport from anywhere. For those survivors who have stockpiled Scrolls of Town Portal, we can only say sorry. Stockpiling is disgraceful.]
[3. The fog dispersal function is canceled. The fog will not disperse anymore because of the defeat of the Boss. It will always exist.]
[4. All survivors, beasts, and other beings around the world will drop items according to their own rules upon death. Complete fairness, justice, and transparency.]
[Kind reminder: The update broadcast for today has ended. Please make preparations and try out new features.]
[Kind reminder: Smart people have already started doing the right thing.]
"..."
Ming, while brushing his teeth, listened to the end and started to scroll through the chat channel to see what everyone was planning to do next.
"The fourth rule, in the current environment, is clearly intended to encourage people to kill each other. Damn it."
"Every man for himself, even if it wasn\'t like this when you have a knife against your throat, you would still give in, right?"
"But, in the past, the predators didn\'t need to fight with you. Now they can assassinate from a distance, which is convenient and effortless. Everyone, be careful when you go out, it\'s best to travel in groups."
"..."
Ming rinsed his mouth, spat out the foam, glanced at the hundreds of Scrolls of Town Portal he had stockpiled in his warehouse, and cursed softly.
Of the four points in today\'s broadcast, what he cares about is the third one: The function of fog dispersal is canceled, the fog will always be there.
"Boss, are you up yet?"
At this moment, Mike appeared at the door, "Boss, you heard the broadcast, right? The fourth one is really unexpected."
Ming dried his face and said, "You\'ll get used to it. By the way, is breakfast ready?"
"It\'s ready."
"Let\'s go. We\'re going to your home for breakfast."
"~"
Mike blinked his eyes, why... did he feel like he was being invited to his own house for a meal?
[Your foodie is lying on the roof, tapping the squirrel\'s head... The squirrel, who is nibbling on a walnut, turns to look at the frog. What\'s going on?]
[Foodie asks, where did you watch our sis go... The squirrel lifts a paw and points at the fog, telling the foodie that the frog was taken into the black fog by Little Bill. The four of them seemed quite happy... The squirrel continues to nibble on the walnut~]
[Foodie taps the squirrel again, reminding it to take care of its teeth... The squirrel pauses, if I don\'t grind my teeth, they\'ll pierce my lower jaw... Foodie taps the squirrel again, telling it to grind its teeth a little quieter, it\'s making him feel itchy~]
"..."
After finishing breakfast, Ming wiped his mouth and left. He clicked on the regional map option:
[Sunset Beach]
[Secluded Mountain Wilderness]
[Giant Stone Wasteland]
[Land of Extreme Cold]
[...]
"..."
Ming looked at the words, feeling uncomfortable. There were no pictures, only text. How was he supposed to know what region Rusell was in?
But it shouldn\'t be difficult to choose a region that has mountains and waters from the literal meaning. It would be just a matter of teleporting a few more times.
He then chose [Verdant Mountain Wilderness] for teleportation.
Hum~
At this moment, a sky-blue mirror-like portal formed in front of him, no longer a beam of light descending from the sky.
The \'door\', expanding from the size of a palm, continued to consume spiritual energy and mental power, both at the rate of 1 unit per second. Interestingly, the mirror was like a time-space window, where you could see the current environment of the destination from the original place. This... although it consumed a bit more, was quite user-friendly.
What\'s more user-friendly was that the size of the door could be controlled by the person who opened it. The larger the door, the more it consumed. Ming planned to try how large it could be when he had time.
Ming stepped through the door and entered the region. This was indeed very convenient. Before stepping in, you could see whether the landing point \'outside the door\' was safe. The previous situations of randomly entering water or falling into a beast\'s nest would no longer exist. Moreover, the door would remain in existence as long as it was not automatically closed, continuing to consume.
"Darn, it!"
Ming quickly \'closed\' the door. Was this another way to consume resources?
A moment later, a man and a bat person entered the newly opened door at the same time, entering the 1521 section.
Rusell used his sonar to sense the other \'members\' and smiled, "Gutmann, you didn\'t lie to me. To be honest, I am filled with confidence again."
Looking at the giant snake, the giant rhinoceros, the large lion, the leopard, the honey badger, the porcupine, the antlion, and others in front of him, he indeed gained confidence. None of them were human.
