Yang Yi barely slept in the latter half of the night.
When daylight broke, he decided to get up, tossing the rotten bones he'd been using as a makeshift pillow under the bed. After all this ti, the captain’s skeleton should be truly dead.
Yang Yi seed like a different person. His face was pale, with deep, dark circles under his bloodshot eyes.
As soon as he stepped out of the captain's cabin, he noticed sothing new on the deck — a statue?
It was a cartoonish octopus monster with wings on its back, crouching on a stone.
"What is this...?" he wondered aloud, and then a notification popped up in his log.
【Last night, 13,000 people successfully defeated monsters, with one person even achieving an impressive double kill!】
【Based on your achievents, the system will reward you with a special talent.】
【Additionally, the Monster Vending Machine is now available. You can insert monster corpses or body parts into the machine to receive rewards. The bodies will be automatically collected. Be careful, don’t throw in garbage or live creatures, or you’ll anger the machine!】
The world chat imdiately exploded with excitent.
“There are monsters in this world? What do they look like? Has anyone seen one?”
“Free , I’ll give you anything you want!”
“There’s a talent reward? I missed out! A skeleton monster knocked on my door last night, but I didn’t open it. If I had known, I would’ve taken the risk.”
“If you had opened it, you might’ve been dead.”
“Monster Vending Machine? Did anyone find this thing?”
“I found mine on the deck. It’s a giant cat face, pretty cute, actually.”
“Mine’s in the cabin, looks like a cartoon robot!”
“Mine’s a clown...freaked out. It’s in the captain’s room!”
“Are they all different for everyone?”
Yang Yi turned to look at his own Vending Machine — a cartoonish octopus monster with a wide-open mouth and tentacles around its lips, seemingly begging to be fed...
【Reward issued: You have obtained the talent: ???】
【Unlock conditions: ???, Attempts: 0/3.】
What is this? It needed to be unlocked?
Yang Yi checked the world chat again. Others were also asking about the talents that required unlocking. Each person's unlocking condition was different, with so requiring thousands and others a few dozen.
He only needed 3 attempts, which was one of the lowest.
Soon, soone figured out the unlocking conditions, which were usually simple tasks.
“My unlock condition is walking, I need to walk 100,000 steps. So frustrating!”
“That’s nothing! Mine is to breathe 3 million tis — totally random…”
“At least you have a goal. Mine is 0/100 with no clue what to do.”
“Maybe you just need to survive 100 days…”
“This system… If you don’t want to give us talents, just don’t give them!”
Yang Yi glanced at his 0/3, shook his head, and decided to leave it to fate.
He walked into the cabin, intending to trade the monster corpses for vending prizes.
The captain’s skeleton couldn’t be used since it was unique, so he only took the severed hand of the Drowned Revenant and tossed it into the Octopus Vending Machine.
