Chapter 2 - Opening the Crate

After a few minutes of looking around, he notices a small crate sitting near the edge of the liquid in the oasis.

As he approached the crate an item name popped up in the same style as the previous screen "small crate: luck +100."

OB: "+100...hmmm, that must be from my luck stat, I wonder how that affects the contents of the crate." He says as he reaches down to open the crate. As he touches the crate it opens with a dazzling golden light, and out pops 6 orbs, 4 shining golden, and 2 glowing red, as he hears that familiar tone.

*ding*[Serverwide Announcement!!! Player:OB has opened a lucky crate and recieved two cursed items and four legendary blessed items!!! Congratulations, Player:OB]

As Ouroborus hears the Announcement he is filled with two very different emotions: anger, and excitement. When he saw the two red orbs earlier he thought they would be the same as the earlier crimson orb, but now he knows they are cursed items and can't wait to open them. On the other hand he is angry and annoyed that it was announced serverwide. "Well, I can't change what has already happened. I better find out what items I got." As he starts from left-to-right; the 1st item is a new type of shelter core that can merge with other cores to become stronger. The 2nd is an upgraded farm that grows anything planted in about a day, the time can be lessened with fertilizer and/or better soil. The 3rd item is a blessed well kit that can be placed anywhere, and can be picked up and/or moved once per day, the water produced not only stays cool, but also helps rejuvenate ??, and helps you cool down as well. The 4th and final golden item is a blueprint for an underground shelter that the core can be placed inside, it's description reads: Once placed the secret hatch will camouflage to blend in to any environment it is placed in. The 1st cursed item is a cursed blade of rending that has an upgradeable % chance to cut through whatever it is hitting, in one smooth motion, but the drawback of the curse is that it is bloodhound to you and while it is bound to you in this way, you can't use any other weapons. The 2nd cursed and final item is a cursed hoe then helps the plants produce an upgradeable % more harvest starting at 20% extra, the drawback being that after the harvest, the plants wither away into nothing.

After collecting his items and putting most of them away, he pulls out his Shelter core, and begins to move it closer to the new golden core, waiting to see what will happen.
