In the early morning, the once sunny sky was overcast with dense clouds.
Cold winds blew through the desert, making the dry grass sway erratically.
Lin Yue glanced back at the still-sleeping Bai and Little Ice Lizards, then pushed open the door and climbed onto the roof.
Feeling the bleak atmosphere, he picked up the sighting scope and observed the surroundings.
Swaying wild grass, exposed red dust and sand, rivers and lakes frothing with green foam...
"Sothing’s wrong, where are the mutant creatures?"
He put down the sighting scope and looked again.
"Wait, I’m not mistaken, where have the mutant creatures... gone?"
On the desert, where there used to be a large number of mutant creatures, there was now no trace of them.
As if they had never existed here.
Lin Yue climbed down from the roof, grabbed the Iron Spear, and walked out of the shelter, finding a few struggling Tiger-striped Shadow Deer and Mutant Sheep caught in the traps outside.
[You have obtained a Silver Treasure Chest!]
[You have obtained...]
Three Copper Treasure Chests, three Silver Treasure Chests, not a bad haul, at least in terms of quality.
He thodically dissected the unfortunate creatures, obtaining a large amount of at, and continuously peeled off their skins.
After finishing that, he took the remaining materials, found a spot, dug a pit, and buried them.
"These bugs are still here, that’s sothing." Lin Yue found that where he had buried those bodies before, the mutant bugs were still gathered, even in larger numbers than before!
He hadn’t collected Wooden Treasure Chests yesterday, so he decided to do it all today!
While Bai and the Little Ice Lizards were still not awake, Lin Yue wielded the Iron Spear, continuously harvesting bugs and simultaneously obtaining Wooden Treasure Chests!
Lin Yue felt that maybe yesterday’s battle with the Lizardn didn’t yield as many benefits as expected, or perhaps two days without a satisfying bug harvest made him especially diligent this ti.
[You have obtained a Wooden Treasure Chest]
[You have obtained...]
He persistently collected wooden treasure chests into the Storage Space, becoming like an emotionless machine, stabbing hole after hole in the bugs or slicing them in half, ignoring even the system’s notifications.
"Gawoo?"
Lin Yue was suddenly drawn by Bai’s voice, looking back to find his little companion had sohow already appeared behind him.
"Bai, are you hungry?" Lin Yue smiled, walked over, and patted its arm.
"Gawoo!" Bai nodded, holding its belly and made another sound.
"Alright, alright, let’s go make so food. How about Lion-headed Bear steak today?"
"Gawoo~" Bai spread its wings, flapping excitedly a few tis.
Lin Yue’s eyes lit up: "Bai, can you fly? Let see!"
Speaking of which, they planned to experience the thrill of flying today, but the morning was too focused on harvesting bugs, and he’d forgotten about it.
By the way, how many Wooden Treasure Chests did we get?
"Wait... I actually got 325 at once? Good grief." Lin Yue looked up at the ground covered in bug corpses, hardly believing he’d harvested so many.
It seems with the help of the Exoskeleton, it saved quite a bit of effort, and the efficiency certainly improved a lot.
"Gawoo~" Bai suddenly let out a low roar, spreading its wings again. Lin Yue noticed the wingspan was nearly six ters long, quite imnse!
Bai let out another roar, and as it rushed forward, its powerful wings flapped rapidly; with a leap, Bai successfully lifted off!
Lin Yue seed to feel as if he was watching a young bird leaving the nest, filled with excitent as Bai flew high, circling, diving like a soaring fighter jet!
He couldn’t help but imagine himself riding Bai in the sky...
Wait, where to sit? The space between the wings isn’t enough to fit him.
Lin Yue quickly snapped back to reality, and Bai soon returned to the ground.
He noticed that although Bai was quite excited, it seed to be drained, and its spirits were rather deflated.
Turning to Bai’s back, Lin Yue asured the width between its wings.
Not even half a ter? Good grief, if he dared to lie on Bai’s back, Bai would probably smack him to death the mont it started flapping its wings.
There’s still a long way to go to beco a Dragon Knight.
Moreover, Bai didn’t seem fully ready. Its stamina clearly couldn’t support long-distance flight.
Lin Yue thought the next step should be to make this little guy more good food, so it could grow larger.
However, that would require adjusting the size and height of the shelter.
"Gawoo..." Bai even lay down on the ground out of hunger, reminding Lin Yue to feed them, while the Little Ice Lizards ran out, chirping for Chef Lin to return.
"Alright, alright, can’t have you all going hungry," Lin Yue imdiately returned to the kitchen in the shelter, set up the pot, lit the fire, added water, then tossed in so leafy vegetables along with plenty of preserved at and instant noodles.
In no ti, the instant noodles were ready.
A large pot of instant noodles was placed on the ground, and the Little Ice Lizards gathered around.
Lin Yue closed the door, went outside to the stove, pulled out a large chunk of Lion-headed Bear at, sliced it into chunks with a knife, and put them in an iron basin.
Then he chopped so onions and added them to the at, followed by soy sauce, salt, and pepper, stirring the mixture before taking so out and grilling it over charcoal.
Bai was starving, so he needed to let this little guy eat to its heart’s content first.
The aroma from the Lion-headed bear at skewers was incredibly enticing, and while Lin Yue grilled, he pulled out treasure chests one by one from the Storage Space.
The ti to open treasure chests felt long overdue.
Wooden Treasure Chests, quite a lot, no need to rush opening them.
[You have obtained Spicy Beef Flavor Instant Noodles X1]
[You have obtained a bottle of Farr’s Triple Punch Mineral Water 600ml]
[You have obtained...]
While opening the chests, Lin Yue also rembered to turn the grilled at, the sll almost unbearable to Bai, as if it would eat it raw.
"Bai, don’t rush, haste makes waste, it’ll taste best once cooked," Lin Yue patted his companion, signaling it to be patient, knowing it was genuinely hungry.
Taking out 2kg of strawberries, Lin Yue washed them a bit and put them in a tal basin for Bai to munch on first.
[You have obtained...]
Bai ate until its mouth turned red, clearing the strawberries in one swoop, while the grilled at was ready just in ti. Lin Yue placed pieces of the Lion-headed Bear’s roasted at on the table, and the impatient Bai began eating heartily.
However, Lin Yue noticed that this little fellow was quite generous, eating only half and offering the rest to him.
"You go ahead, haha, I’m not that hungry." Maybe the Exoskeleton was too effective, Lin Yue found his fatigue minimal and wasn’t that hungry, instead full of energy.
He continuously placed more at on the grill oven while still opening the treasure chests.
Soon, all 325 Wooden Treasure Chests were opened, and the grilled at was stored piece by piece into the Storage Space. Bai was so full its belly looked like a giant drum, lying on the ground immobilized.
"This ti, 283 bottles of water, that’s quite sothing...though I wish for more instant noodles," Lin Yue shook his head, looking at the remaining items.
packs of instant noodles, 10 loaves of bread, 9 packs of noodles, 4 stead buns.
Not much in terms of starches, seems like more rice and flour treats are needed.
Consuming just grilled at isn’t exactly healthy, is it?
Looking at the remaining 4 Copper Treasure Chests, 2 Silver Treasure Chests, and 2 Golden Treasure Chests, Lin Yue took a deep breath.
"Let’s see what can be opened from the Silver Treasure Chests first!" Lin Yue took a bite of grilled at, savoring its juicy and tender taste, feeling more excited.
He gently opened a Silver Treasure Chest, soon captivated by what was inside.
"What? It turned out that this item could be obtained?"
