CHAPTER 286: CHAPTER 272: CRITICAL TOOL DAMAGED, CRISIS INCOMING!_2

Think about it, if someone eventually "wins" him through battle, then what will happen afterwards?

blessings? Sorry, this is 007 blessings!

Wake up at midnight, go to bed at midnight. Until he’s completely exhausted, it’s estimated that he’ll be constantly fighting against mutated creatures.

Want to rest? Haha.

Lin Yue doesn’t harbor malice towards all of humanity, but he understands that in the current situation where everyone is struggling to eat and live comfortably, his treasure chest hack would absolutely be exploited to the fullest extent.

Moreover, he would also be drained dry to the fullest extent!

"Still need to stay alert... let’s check the detailed rankings. It’s good to know where I’m lacking,"

Lin Yue muttered to himself and quickly clicked on his detailed rankings.

[Overall Score: 7202]

[Shelter Score: 3312]

[Resource Score: 2654]

[Shelter Population Bonus: 0]

[Disaster Resistance Bonus: 1236]

Oh, indeed.

The shelter score has gone up, and the resource score has also gone up, but the disaster resistance is still a bit lacking.

Lin Yue remembers that last time it was also around just over a thousand, this thing seems to be a comprehensive consideration.

[Congratulations, you have become the number one in the world leaderboard, air drop rewards will be sent, please pay attention to collect them!]

Ah this.

Lin Yue just wanted to see if he had already been replaced as the number one on the world leaderboard, only to receive the system notification again.

emmmm...

This is yet another round without suspense.

Lin Yue glanced at the leaderboard.

1. Lin Yue 7202 points

2. Lily Kalahao (Refugee Village) 5033 points

3. Jia Yunzhan (Refugee Village) 5020 points

4. Xing Lingfeng (Refugee Village) 5001 points

5. Caspar (Refugee Village) 4999 points

...

What’s going on?

Everyone’s rankings seem a bit pulled down.

But out of the top five, three are from Tang Country, which makes Lin Yue quite happy from the bottom of his heart.

This proves that the people of Tang Country have a strong adaptability.

From the sixth to the fifteenth, there are even eight names from Tang Country.

Hmm, with strong unity and little fuss, brave, diligent, and wise, inherently endowed with various talents, indeed impressive.

Thinking now, if he didn’t have the treasure chest cheat, maybe he would...

No, probably not.

Lin Yue knows himself well, not willing to mingle with others, and even less willing to engage in complicated interpersonal relationships.

Collaborating with others to create a refugee village, that’s probably impossible.

Thinking carefully, without this cheat for guaranteed treasure chests, he might have become a renowned bug-killer, then turning into a diligent Secret Realm collector when it opens, and becoming a Lizardman hunter when the Underground Ruins Stone Gate appears...

Seems not much different from now...

Lin Yue feels that his behavior and trends would still lead to the current situation, with the distinction only being the level of his living condition.

Lin Yue didn’t check the world channel or the group chats, but went outside to look at the sky.

Just mentioned there were two air drops, so one would be a Platinum Treasure Chest, and the other a Golden Treasure Chest.

Adding to the Platinum Treasure Chest obtained from defeating the Poison Celestial Dragon earlier, the upcoming chest opening will be interesting.

Finding a replacement clothing to wear, Lin Yue pushed the door open.

The howling wind quickly blew him back inside.

"What’s with this wind..." Lin Yue was surprised by the sudden, violent wind.

He put on the Windproof Goggles and stepped out again.

The howling wind pinned him against the door, giving him no chance to catch a breath.

Lin Yue planted the Outstanding Iron Spear on the ground, barely holding his stance.

He looked up, two black dots nearly at the same altitude, gradually descending from the sky.

However, they seemed affected by the wind, blown east and west, with the wide parachutes occasionally losing balance.

Eventually, one was indeed damaged by the wind, crashing straight down!

Boom!!

A burst of thunderous sound instantly erupted, this wooden crate directly crashed into the Melting Furnace, shattering upon impact, with the parachute torn apart by scattered wooden pieces, caught by the wind and sent flying back into the sky!

In its place, only a shimmering treasure chest remained.

Seeing this scene, Lin Yue couldn’t help but marvel at the fearsome power of nature.

If someone were over there, they might have been obliterated by such sudden disaster.

Even reminded him of a series of films — Final Destination, where various ingenious death scenarios occur.

But if that film were to source material from this Otherworld for a new series, it might be even more interesting.

"Looks like I’ll need to add some additional weight."

Combatting the wind requires corresponding measures.

Sitting in a corner, Lin Yue donned the Exoskeleton and placed two Iron Blocks on it, securing them well with fabric and wire.

With increased weight, mobility declined a bit, but at least he wouldn’t be blown away by the wind.

He looked up again, seeing the other parachute blown directly towards the small forest.

Lin Yue walked over to the Golden Treasure Chest, finding it quite solid, picked it up.

Then, he headed directly towards the small forest.

Unfortunately, the parachute successfully got snagged between branches of the highest tree, making retrieval by ordinary means difficult.

But Lin Yue is not ordinary.

The various items he possesses are also extraordinary.

Returning to the shelter, Lin Yue lugged out the Diamond Chainsaw.

"Want to get rich, first chop trees." The chainsaw, extremely heavy, meant little to Lin Yue wearing the Exoskeleton.

A roar erupted, and within seconds, that large tree toppled dramatically!

[You have obtained Wood X100!]

Oh.

Lin Yue expressed no surprise and felt little joy.

Wood seems pitifully useless at the shelter, currently.

But better to have than not.

Lin Yue continued chopping trees, noticing that as he quickened his pace, the parachute was simultaneously being shifted by the gale to another direction.

"Enough is enough." Lin Yue found it tedious and decided to completely clear out the small forest!

Crash! The heavy box hit the ground, Lin Yue grabbed the Fire Axe, smashing the already battered shell.

But, at this moment.

Bang!

A muffled sound echoed nearby, Lin Yue looked around confusedly, but found nothing.

"What was that sound?"

Only the howling wind answered him, along with the crackling sound of scattered wood pieces.

Lin Yue shook his head, looking towards the Platinum Treasure Chest hard-earned, and reached for it.

[You have obtained a Platinum Treasure Chest!]

Yeah, got it.

Lin Yue just took a step forward, "Bang" sounded again.

Meanwhile, he felt something seemed to hit him from his shoulder to his back.

Upon checking, a metal object fell to the ground.

This is...

Bang!

Another sound.

Lin Yue no longer needed to guess what happened.

He picked up the metal thing, placing it into the Storage Space.

[You have obtained Power Controller (Damaged) X1]

The Exoskeleton actually broke at this moment.

Lin Yue unfastened the straps one by one, holding an Iron Block, looking at the now-battered Exoskeleton in his hand.

It seemed the power controller exploded, causing the precision electric actuator to burn out, eventually destroying various miscellaneous parts in the connection.

"Overall ruined, it seems even repair is of no value," Lin Yue frowned, placing it inside the Storage Space.

Without the Exoskeleton, Lin Yue could only use the Outstanding Iron Spear as support, inching back into the shelter.

The wind howled outside, and amidst this, sparse raindrops began pelting the glass like broken strings.

"Gawu." Bai watched the master return after great effort, still unclear what had transpired.

"Bai, bad news." Lin Yue took the Exoskeleton out of the Storage Space, "If no suitable parts can be found to make another, difficult days lie ahead for us..."
