Chapter 20: Lucky Chest

In the early hours of the next morning.

Chen Ye sneezed and woke up from his sleep.

The water vapor in the room had dissipated, and the stuffiness was gone.

He got up and opened the window panel in the living room to check the situation outside the watchtower.

Temperatures have dropped back to normal.

It's just that yesterday's forest fire not only did not go out, but spread all the way to a distance of several kilometers, and even the dark night was illuminated by the firelight.

I didn't expect this to happen by accident.

Chen Ye frowned slightly, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Because of the dense forests covering the coastal area, it was originally an obstacle for him to explore the new world.

And now this fire is burning at the right time.

There were some unlucky snake-tailed Rafflesia who died tragically in the fire.

During his rest, he also continued to receive survival point rewards,

Today, the survival score has reached 210 points.

So many points have become a problem.

Chen Ye began to struggle with continuing to strengthen the watchtower, or to improve the equipment in his hand to a higher quality.

At this time, Lin Zimo, who heard the sound of the window opening, also came to the living room from the upstairs bedroom.

Her eyes were tired, and her face was clouded with gloom,

It seems that yesterday afternoon's topic about family made this little girl who had never experienced hardship and parting even more anxious.

Chen Ye couldn't find any comforting words, and it was impossible for him to tell casually fabricated lies like "help you find your parents".

This is a post-apocalyptic world where natural disasters are rampant, and you have to go through something before you can learn to grow.

"Good morning!"

Chen Ye said hello, and then pointed out the window:

"The temperature outside has dropped, come with me to clean up the loot on the island now."

Lin Zimo didn't say much, nodded, and followed him out of the watchtower.

In the light of the fire, the two began to search along the edge of the island.

There were a lot of bombed corpses on the ground.

Under the high temperature, they all turned into a lump of charcoal, and they could only tell what kind of strange beast they were from their appearance.

To Chen Ye's surprise, among these cokes, there was still a vital essence.

As soon as he walked in, the gray mist escaped from it and was absorbed by his body.

As the ash fog cleared, the coke that had congealed into lumps decomposed into ashes.

Chen Ye couldn't help but have some doubts.

In what form does life essentia exist?

He wanted to figure out the rules of this mysterious energy substance, but there was no detailed explanation in the system.

Since he couldn't find the answer, Chen Ye didn't dig deeper, and instead took Lin Zimo to start cleaning up the ashes on the island.

In the sea near the island, there are still many uncharred carcasses of strange beasts floating in the water.

These corpses were not patronized by other alien beasts, and some of them remained relatively intact.

It can be seen that yesterday's earth-shattering explosion also caused a certain deterrent to nearby creatures.

Especially the greedy Megalodon sharks.

They look stupid, but they aren't.

In less than half an hour after cleaning up, the twenty cubic meters of storage space were almost filled.

It would take an estimated whole day to dissect the material into sale.

Chen Ye was extremely excited in his heart.

Rounding it up, he is now a wealthy landlord.

After cleaning up the remaining corpses, the sky was already faintly bright.

Stratocumulus clouds appeared over the vast expanse of the sea, and they were slowly moving towards the islands and forests.

In addition to the bumper harvest of material resources, Chen Ye and Lin Zimo also absorbed a large amount of life essence.

And the source power level of the two of them has also successfully risen to the 2nd level.

Chen Ye made a rough estimate in his heart.

Excluding the beasts that had been reduced to ashes, there were about 60 red nitrate jellyfish, 4 flaming anemones, and 6 megalodon sharks, including the mutilated and intact corpses......

According to Chen Ye's expectations, after absorbing the life essence of so many alien beasts, the source power of the two of them should be able to rise to the 3rd order.

It seems that it is not an easy thing to increase the level of source power.

Just when he was a little disappointed, a system prompt sounded in his head:

[Congratulations, teammate (Lin Zimo)'s source power level has been raised to level 2]

[Calling Friends and Companions - The Strength Promotion Task has been completed, and the rewards have been successfully distributed to the storage space]

Chen Ye saw the hint and immediately opened the storage space and looked at it.

After looking for a long time, I saw a boxy box under a pile of corpses and debris.

It's similar to the previous newcomer's lucky bag, but the content is a little simpler.

[Lucky Chest: Obtain an item of random quality after opening]

Chen Ye took out the treasure chest and did not open it directly, but condensed his gaze to strengthen it.

[Can consume 328 survival points to enhance (Lucky Chest)]

328?

Excuse me!

Chen Ye resisted the desire to complain and handed over the treasure chest to Lin Zimo's hands.

After the source force level was raised, Lin Zimo was like a curious baby at this time, stretching out his hand to look at it.

She found that her strength had increased a lot, and her five senses had also improved.

The changes in her body brought her wonderful feelings that she had never experienced before.

At this time, Lin Zimo saw the box handed to him, and hurriedly reached out to take it.

Then he took the box and looked left and right, looking very surprised.

"Lucky Chest, where did you get it?"

Chen Ye touched his nose and quickly made up an excellent reason:

"I picked it up on those three people yesterday, and I forgot to open it for various reasons, and I only remembered it today."

"Seeing that you are usually lucky, such a sacred matter of unpacking will be handed over to you!"

"Huh?" Lin Zimo was a little embarrassed.

She also doesn't know if talent can affect the drop probability of high-level items in chests.

"Shall I give it a try?"

As she spoke, she gently unwrapped the ribbon.

The box slowly opened, and Chen Ye immediately stepped forward to check, only to find that there was a scroll inside.

Referring to previous in-game encounters, it's most likely a scroll with supernatural powers, or a treasure map that marks the location of the treasure!

Thinking of this, he took out the scroll with an excited face.

When I unfolded it, I saw that there was a blank space inside the leather scroll.

Lin Zimo, who was standing next to him, immediately frowned, and secretly screamed in his heart.

It's broken, it can't be a piece of garbage, right?

This pot won't let her carry it, right......

Just thinking about it, Chen Ye in front of him suddenly let out an exclamation.

Because in his line of sight, the blank scroll, as if someone was painting with colored pencils, quickly revealed colorful patterns.

"It's ...... Map? ”

An octagonal indicator appears in the upper right corner of the reel.

In the center, an island gradually emerges, with endless forests in the southwest and a vast ocean in the southeast.

Not only that, Chen Ye was surprised to find that these patterns were actually presented dynamically.

And centered on the position of the person holding the scroll, the whole picture moves with the movement of the person holding the scroll.

He tried to take a few steps forward, and the edge of the map to the east was refreshed.

He turned, and the arrow marker in the center of the map followed suit.

Chen Ye was amazed when he held the scroll.

It's a pity that this scroll doesn't have a search function, otherwise it would definitely be able to compete with the map of Quede.

Wait, the search function?

Chen Ye seemed to have thought of something, and immediately took out the Resource Detector Plus.

After the scanned image of the resource detector is connected to the holographic projection, it is combined with the effect presented by the dynamic map.

It can be called a "real-time 3D holographic map".
