Something's not right!
Twelve parts out of ten, something's seriously wrong!
Lin Bei's expression was solemn. He slowed his steps and reached out to feel his surroundings, hoping to find something like a light switch.
Unfortunately, he found nothing.
Clatter.
With a soft sound, Lin Bei felt like he had kicked a stool. He bent down to get closer, but couldn't see anything.
He reached out and touched something round and bulging.
"This feel... damn it, it can't be a skull, can it?"
Lin Bei cursed under his breath and immediately put the item into his kun bag to check its specific information.
Although it was pitch black all around, it didn't affect Lin Bei's ability to use the items on him.
Therefore, even if he didn't know what it was, as long as he put it into his storage bag, he could understand its information perfectly.
[Mist Skull: A strange skull that continuously produces dark mist. Carrying it for a long time will result in a curse effect.
[Note: Mist Monsters can be generated in the mist at regular intervals. The holder of the Mist Skull can command the Mist Monsters to fight.]
"Good heavens, this is a Summoner's equipment."
Lin Bei glanced at the Mist Skull's attributes and gave this crystal skull a rating in his heart.
It's a pity that holding the Mist Skull comes with a curse. This side effect... Lin Bei felt he might not be able to handle it.
So, he planned to recycle this item at the Braves Shop later to exchange it for some brave badge.
He had already checked when he bought items at the Braves Shop before; some special items occasionally obtained from the Underworld could be recycled through the shop.
However, the recycling price was only 30% of the original. Lin Bei felt that if he had a good talk with the NPC when he went back, the other party would definitely be willing to recycle it at a high price.
He wouldn't dare ask for too much, but at least it should be bought back at the original price to show sincerity, right?
Otherwise... he would help the other party delete their account. He believed that as an ambitious and idealistic NPC, Stinky Treasure would definitely make the most correct choice.
Lin Bei continued to grope around the small cabin, where he couldn't see his hand in front of his face, searching for things.
Not long after, he touched a book.
Following suit, he immediately put it into his kun bag and then checked the information.
[Damaged Survival Manual: Once a Survivor's bound item, it has now lost all function. Can be recycled through the Braves Shop to obtain some brave badge.]
"This thing... it's actually a Survivor's bound item?!"
Lin Bei was startled, then he reached out and touched the Survivor Bracelet on his wrist, muttering to himself, "So, this manual had a similar function to the wristband on my wrist before?"
"This thing... belonged to that Disqualified Ones brother from before?"
"Disqualified Ones... Disqualified Ones..."
"Could it be... that the words 'Disqualified Ones' refer to Survivors who have lost their qualification to survive?"
Lin Bei pondered the meaning of the words "Disqualified Ones" and suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
"Damn it, if that's the case, how many generations of Survivors have passed since the Survivor with this manual?"
"If I remember correctly, the NPC said before that the Survivors of the most recent thousand-plus generations have all been doing Island Survival, and their bound items were all Survivor Bracelets."
"In other words, this Disqualified Ones... came from an even more distant past?"
Lin Bei gasped, feeling his scalp tingle and a chill run down his back.
"This world... is not simple at all."
"If I'm not mistaken, this Underworld used to be their Survival World for those Survivors."
"But now... it has become a special dungeon for us later Survivors to farm experience!"
"Damn it, what kind of bizarre development is this?!"
Lin Bei suddenly felt that this Survival World was quite unreliable.
He didn't know how that brother from before became a Disqualified Ones.
But since Disqualified Ones exist, doesn't that mean he himself might also become a similar walking corpse due to some reason in the future?
Lin Bei's face was grim; he would never allow himself to become a mummy!
He wanted to live well!
No one could stop him!
"Damn it, in the end, these are just games for the so-called Celestial Gods to amuse themselves."
"To jump off the chessboard, one must possess enough strength!"
"Damn, I was just smug about having over a thousand Combat Power, but now it seems... I'm still far from enough!"
"Just an early-stage Disqualified Ones already possesses Combat Power exceeding mine. If I didn't have trump cards, my life and death would be uncertain!"
"Why do I feel that the stronger I get, the more dangerous this world becomes?"
Lin Bei frowned, his heart far from calm.
Even with his system, he felt immense pressure at this moment!
"Sigh—it's too difficult."
Lin Bei sighed deeply, reluctantly adjusted his mindset, and continued to explore the small cabin.
It's true, the cabin that looked old and small from the outside actually had a surprisingly huge interior space.
Lin Bei explored every area of the room for a full half an hour.
And in his kun bag, in addition to the Mist Skull and Damaged Survival Manual he had collected earlier, he also obtained five more items.
[Dawn Bonfire: excellent quality. When lit, it can dispel all darkness and grant the 'Encouragement' status to surrounding Survivors and their companions. Encouragement: Makes people forget fear, fight bravely, and increases Combat Power by 10%.]
[curse talisman: excellent quality. After filling in the target's true name, you can consume Qi and Blood Power to cast a remote curse on the target. The specific effect is related to the Qi and Blood Power consumed. Note: This curse is ineffective against transcendent lifeforms.]
[Ultimate Perfect Doll: Perfect quality. A doll companion that can fulfill all your fantasies, with an automatic cleaning function, clean and hygienic. Durability: 30000/200000.]
"Holy crap, another doll with consumed durability. I'll see if anyone else needs it later. If so, I'll sell it at a high price."
"But I have to admit, that Disqualified Ones brother is pretty awesome. A Perfect quality doll with a full 200,000 durability points was actually used by him until only 30,000 durability remained!"
"Good heavens, that brother's strength is not to be underestimated."
Lin Bei couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
As for the other two items, their usefulness to Lin Bei was much greater than that useless doll.
However, the curse talisman could only be used against lifeforms below the transcendent level. In other words, this thing was useless to him.
Because he was now a Transcendent One-Star lifeform!
But he also didn't dare to be careless, because this curse talisman was only of excellent quality. Perhaps there were higher-level curse talismans that could affect transcendent lifeforms?
Therefore, he must never tell anyone his true name!
Lin Bei looked at the last two items he had collected from the small cabin this time.
[Perfect Day Scroll: Perfect quality. After use, you can ignore any disaster and pass a day with a Perfect rating. Note: Each person can only use one such scroll per seasonal cycle.]
[supreme quality primordial stone: Can be used directly to expand territory by 1 square kilometer. It can also be used as a special crafting material for equipment or items above the transcendent level.]
