Global Wasteland: I Obtained A Top Tier Shelter-Chapter 55: Treasure Chest Addiction

"Sixty-fifth!"

A giant beetle suddenly flew at Lin Yue from the ground, but after being engulfed by a chilling white mist, it instantly crashed to the ground, and Lin Yue’s iron spear turned it into fragments!

[You have obtained a Wooden Treasure Chest]

The familiar sound echoed, and Lin Yue placed the Wooden Treasure Chest into the Storage Space, wiping the sweat off his forehead.

Looking up, the sun was setting, it was dusk again.

Wooden Treasure Chests, 5 Copper Treasure Chests.

The harvest was fairly good.

I have to say, after the system increased the mutated creatures, it’s become easier for him to obtain treasure chests than before.

But compared to others who kill hundreds of small bugs and small lizards in scenarios akin to mini "bug tides," his numbers here probably only match others at the beginning.

This Desert Zone is really too barren, it’s been like this from the start until now.

He thinks, maybe even a desert is better than here.

If his Shelter were in some forest, perhaps he couldn’t even hold water in the current house.

"Squeak~"

Bai lay motionless on the ground, its call imbued with fatigue.

This little fellow once enthusiastically challenged Mutant Sheep, ultimately proving through an almost suppressive battle that it has indeed grown stronger and can stand on its own.

Skillfully using its speed, it has become increasingly adept at employing its Ice Mist Attack, and the Ice Hunting Claw ability is gradually used with ease.

Lin Yue even saw Bai suddenly erupt in power, delivering the final blow to the Mutant Sheep.

This is likely the effect of its Lifebound Talent "Gluttony Release."

The combat power is sufficient.

If there’s a flaw to point out, it’s that Bai’s probability of bursting open treasure chests is simply too low.

"Little guy, you should learn from me, bursting open more treasure chests, wouldn’t that be delightful?"

Lin Yue took out a grilled mutton skewer from the Storage Space and handed it to Bai.

"Squeak?" Bai didn’t understand Lin Yue’s words but devoured the skewer with customary swiftness.

Looking up toward the distant horizon.

The sky has darkened further, unknown mutant creatures howling afar. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

This world is filled with uncertainty and danger, but Lin Yue now feels much more secure than when he first arrived here.

Obtaining a large number of Wooden Treasure Chests has further ensured the reserve of water and food.

Lin Yue holds the iron spear, feeling the ache in his muscles.

While hunting mutated creatures daily for treasure chests seems like today’s routine, it inevitably takes a toll on him physically.

Beyond fatigue, what if he gets injured?

In these nine days, luck has been on his side, and at worst, Lin Yue only suffered scrapes, never encountering a bleeding situation.

But he can’t guarantee that every time will be so fortunate.

Also, continuously relying merely on his physical prowess for these tasks will eventually wear him down.

The change lies likely in more handy and labor-saving tools.

Such as the simple Exoskeleton, or for instance, the Steel Repeating Crossbow.

These two things need to be obtained sooner.

Lin Yue returned with a well-fed Bai to the Shelter, beginning to tally the harvest this time.

Killed five Mutant Sheep, obtained 50kg of meat, 5 skins, and 10 tusks, the rest are Wooden Treasure Chests.

Ordinary little bugs don’t yield much upon decomposition, so Lin Yue didn’t bother to try.

If desired, he could simply search the market for them,

after tidying up inside, Lin Yue put 4L of water in Bai’s wooden bucket and then turned his gaze to the treasure chests.

He is always quite excited when opening treasure chests.

Especially now in a situation where he has many chests!

Opened 60 Wooden Treasure Chests one by one.

[You have obtained: Jinggan Spring Water, 600ml per bottle]

[You have obtained: Hundred Elephant Old Pickled Cabbage Instant Noodles, one pack]

[You have obtained...]

Totaled 39 bottles of water, 10 packs of instant noodles, 8 pieces of 500g bread, and 3 packs of noodles.

Noodles are a new thing, haven’t opened them before.

Can try them later.

Looking now at the five Copper Treasure Chests.

[You have obtained: Drinking Water, 4L, Strawberry Seeds, one bag]

[You have obtained: Electric Kettle, X1, Iron Hoe Blueprint, X1]

[You have obtained: Humus Nutrient Soil, 30L]

[You have obtained: Multifunctional Swiss Army Knife, X1, Keba Cola, 2L bottle, one]

[You have obtained: Sunglasses, X1, Apples, X5]

My goodness, such variety.

But after categorizing them, Lin Yue fell into contemplation.

Is the system encouraging drinking hot water and then properly farming?

Speaking of farming...

Indeed, that’s something that ought to be done.

Previously due to snow disasters and Shelter size issues, he never got around to dealing with the Soilless Cultivation Kit.

But now, thinking back, it seems like it’s been a long time since he last ate vegetables.

Always bread, instant noodles, grilled mutton skewers...

Have not eaten vegetables, at best only the dried vegetables in the instant noodle vegetable packets.

Things can’t continue this way.

Sure having food is good, but without vegetables, nutrition is lacking, leading to potential health issues later.

Moreover, many people choose to avoid meat.

Then...

Seems like another hard currency has been found?

Indeed, he has quite a few seeds, might as well plant them to see how they do.

Though first, a fence must be built before starting.

Looking again at the Trade Market.

Lin Yue found that his wine already had over a thousand bids.

Looks like it’s highly popular indeed.

He called Bai and together they went to the open space outside.

The howls of mutant creatures rose incessantly, apparently more numerous than during the day.

But no matter, his approach is swift and decisive.

[You lost 50L of wine]

[You gained Wood, X1005, Stone, X1787, Iron Blocks, X1065]

Hmm, seems this material is quite sufficient.

As water isn’t the main hard currency anymore, wine has taken the lead.

Despite not reaching an extreme quantity, it’s adequate.

Like little mountains, the materials piled up quickly on the ground.

But it scared Bai quite a bit.

"Squeak?" Bai kept staring at the suddenly appearing cubes of wood, stone, and iron blocks, finally hiding behind Lin Yue.

"It’s nothing, Bai, learn to adapt."

Bai glanced at Lin Yue: "Squeak..."

Lin Yue took a sip of the newly acquired cola and let out a long burp.

Bai immediately sprawled on Lin Yue, reaching for the fizzy liquid, emitting a scent from the red and blue packaged bottle.

"Good gracious, can even drink this?"

With Bai, Lin Yue returned to the Shelter and placed the glasses properly.

Dark brown cola bubbled profusely, Bai’s eyes went wide.

"Drink up, don’t be shy, but... hey! Why are you already burping?"

Bai lifted its head out of the half-drunk glass: "Squeak, burp~?"
