CHAPTER 285: CHAPTER 272: IMPORTANT TOOL DAMAGED, CRISIS ARRIVES!

In the early morning, after Lin Yue opened his eyes, he didn’t immediately turn on the light.

Xiao Meng was still asleep, breathing steadily.

He shone a flashlight briefly and found the injuries had recovered exceptionally well, which reassured him.

It seems the vitality of the Ice Lizard is quite strong; despite being severely injured, a feast is all it takes to recover to this extent, which is quite impressive.

No need to worry too much about Xiao Meng’s injuries; Lin Yue, flashlight in hand, quietly headed upstairs.

Bai had been waiting at the stairway for a long time, seemingly concerned about Xiao Meng as well.

The reason for not coming down was probably fear of making too much noise.

Bai’s size was becoming increasingly larger.

Lin Yue estimated its height was around three and a half meters now, but counting the two-meter-long tail, it was much larger.

Moreover, since the last molting, Bai’s growth rate had clearly accelerated.

Will there be a third evolution?

Lin Yue looked forward to this quite much.

After all, in this world where strength reigns, the stronger one’s abilities and the more strategies one has, the higher the chances of survival and the higher the success rate in battles with enemies!

However, if Bai really became a massive creature of over ten meters in length, it would be troublesome, and Lin Yue would truly have to find a new place for them to live.

"Bai, Xiao Meng is fine, sleeping soundly; take a good rest for a while." Lin Yue looked out the window, seeing a greyish-white view outside, unsure exactly what time it was.

Speaking of it, was there a hurricane and thunderstorm brewing... Will it start half a day early like last time?

Just thinking this, Lin Yue heard a gusty wind from somewhere inside the shelter, getting louder and louder.

"No way, start as soon as I think?" Lin Yue moved to the window, carefully observing outside. It wasn’t because he woke early that the light was insufficient, but massive turbulent clouds covered the sky!

These clouds were wild and fierce, constantly flowing across the sky, akin to the rushing waters of big rivers.

"Goodness, this is going to be a big one."

Lin Yue returned to the living room.

There was still an important task to complete today.

He opened the system panel, looked at the survival points statistics with little expectation.

[Apocalypse Calendar, Day Twenty-Six]

[...]

[Daily survival points settlement successful: Survival Points +7202]

[Remaining survival points from yesterday: 15447]

[Total survival points: 22649]

Another huge amount.

The twenty thousand figure also gave Lin Yue a bit of a headache.

How can I spend all of this quickly, perhaps throw it into the lottery?

Survival points are meant for Survivors to buy necessities for survival in the Survival Points Mall, like tools or food and water, but Lin Yue already had plenty of these.

In the entire Survival Points Mall, Lin Yue was only interested in the Shelter Design Map and the Universal Upgrade Map.

But these, he could get from other survivors, no need to buy from the Survival Points Mall.

And at this moment, the system’s reminder, sure to sound a day before each disaster, chimed in.

[Congratulations, you’ve ranked first in this group leaderboard; the airdrop reward will be delivered, please check it.]

Hmm? First again? Too little challenge.

Lin Yue opened the leaderboard, somewhat disbelieving; in a group of 100,000 people, am I first again?

1. Lin Yue 7202 points

2. Xing Lingfeng (Refugee Village) 5001 points

3. Drake (Refugee Village) 4825 points

4. Draxler (Refugee Village) 4788 points

5. Fei Yue (Refugee Village) 4221 points

...

Goodness.

Isn’t the gap too wide to catch up with?

Previously, I only led Xing Lingfeng and the others by less than a thousand points; now, the gap is two thousand points.

Could it be that this round was a crushing victory?

Lin Yue thought carefully and found this conclusion to be incorrect.

The treasure chest system, appearing strong, actually only ensures a chest appears every time a monster is defeated.

If one’s combat abilities are weak, they could only handle ordinary little bugs at best, yielding only wooden chests.

Encounter a Lizardman? Better escape promptly.

Not to mention faster mutant creatures.

As for colossal creatures, better not even think about them; an encounter spells doom.

Lin Yue recalled initially, when mutant sheep rammed his shelter, if he chose to avoid battle, his head would likely be under piles of dirt now.

Indeed, this advantage proves more beneficial to the strong.

Specifically, it’s merely an aid.

Relying on unknown treasures from this system for survival is utterly useless.

Alloy Tactical Crossbow, sniper rifle, shotgun — none of these came from the system’s treasures?

Smart use and personal wisdom are key to making progress in this Otherworld!

This treasure chest system is also a double-edged sword.

Such a thing must be concealed by all means, or billions will covet it, including Fei Yue’s shelter, no matter how intimate the relationship is now.
