Lin Bei was dumbfounded, standing still in place.
The System Notification Sound rang out in his ears again.
[Notification: Your Combat Power has increased by 20,000 points!]
[Notification: You have obtained primal stone ×420,000!]
[Notification: You have obtained fiji cup (Fine) ×10,000!]
[Notification: You have obtained a Special Pet Egg (Epic Level) ×1!]
[Notification: You have obtained Vibranium ×1!]
[Notification: You have obtained...]
"This is bad! My Combat Power..."
Lin Bei suddenly woke up. Feeling the turbulent Qi and Blood Energy surging within him like a volcanic eruption, he quickly applied the Healing Liquid he had prepared in his storage space onto his body.
He had obtained this from Nilu previously, originally saving it for emergencies. Who would have thought that "The Cow from Rio de Janeiro," whom he had scared to death, would pull such a stunt, nearly sending him off right then and there!
Fortunately, his reaction was quick enough. After applying all the Healing Liquid to his body, the sensation of his Meridians being torn apart was greatly alleviated.
But even so, he was still drenched in cold sweat, continuously gasping for cool air.
It was still too painful!
Although his mind remained clear, he couldn't move his body at all.
"This is terrible! If a Mist Monster suddenly appears now..."
"Holy crap, talk about speaking of the devil!"
Lin Bei was originally worried about unexpected situations, but the moment the thought appeared, he saw a large group of strangely shaped Mist Monsterss surging out of the black fog!
In an instant, Lin Bei's face turned green.
Damn, does my luck have to be this bad?
He wanted to control the nearby shadow tank to bombard these monsters, but his thoughts were sluggish. By the time he thought of it, the Mist Monsters had already swarmed in and surrounded him.
"It's over. I can't use the shadow tank's cannon to bombard them directly now, otherwise... the monsters will definitely die, but my own final outcome will be unknown."
Lin Bei closed his eyes, praying that his Energy Shield could hold out for a while longer and that his current state of bodily rigidity would pass soon.
The black fog swept over, and the Bonfire that Lin Bei had just lit was extinguished again.
Darkness returned to the surroundings.
Terrifying roars and gnawing sounds came from the air.
Lin Bei lay on the ground with his eyes closed, praying that he could regain his ability to move quickly.
But... "Huh, something isn't quite right."
"The attacks of these monsters... why are they so weak? I can't feel anything at all?"
Lin Bei reopened his eyes. Enhanced by Super Intuition, everything in the black fog came into view.
He suddenly froze.
The Mist Monsters crawling around and gnawing at his body were now covered in blood, their teeth cracked. Their already unintelligent, deformed eyes showed confusion.
"My teeth... how did they get shattered? Isn't this human flesh? Why is it harder to chew than alloy?"
"Mommy, I want to go home! This Survivor is cheating! My teeth are all broken! Wuwuwu..."
A group of Mist Monsters, their mouths bloody, looked at each other.
"..."
Lin Bei fell silent.
It seemed he had... somewhat overestimated the attack power of these Mist Monsters.
Thus, he stopped worrying about it. With a thought, he began checking the harvest from triggering the Critical Hit this time.
"fiji cup? And they don't even have full durability. What good are ten thousand of these things to me?"
Lin Bei complained internally, thinking he would list them directly on the Trading Market later. It would be great if someone bought them, but if not... he planned to package them up and send them directly to the Oil King. That guy... should like them, right?
Afterward, his gaze shifted, landing on the mountain of primal stone.
"This is truly a mountain! With this much primal stone, plus what I got before, it should be enough to let my Island Level up two times, right?"
"Although it's not good for me to upgrade and increase my Combat Power right now, that doesn't stop me from raising the Island Level! Hmm... I wonder what new functions the Island will unlock if it continues to upgrade. I'm really looking forward to it."
Lin Bei thought to himself.
Then, he glanced at the other items. Most of them were basic materials or small pieces of trash that weren't even Fine quality, which he didn't care for at all.
Aside from these, what caught Lin Bei's attention the most were two exceptional items that triggered a Ten Thousand Times Quality Critical Hit!
Of these two exceptional items, one was an Epic Level Special Pet Egg, and the other was a special metal the size of a house—Vibranium!
[Special Pet Egg: Epic Level Quality. Requires absorbing energy to complete Incubation. Species unknown. Shelf life: 30 days. Note: Please complete Incubation as soon as possible. Once the shelf life is exceeded, the Pet Egg will fail to hatch successfully.]
[Vibranium: Epic Level Quality. The hardest metal material in the Survival World. Can be used to forge various weapons and battle armor. Extremely rare.]
"They are all Epic Level Quality! My luck has truly exploded this time! I actually triggered the Ten Thousand Times Quality Critical Hit twice in a row!"
Lin Bei was overjoyed, but when he saw the Pet Egg's final 30-day shelf life, he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, feeling a bit displeased.
"This is a Pet Egg, yet it has a shelf life, treating it like common food ingredients. Isn't this ridiculous?"
"Besides, time is relatively static inside the storage space. What's the point of a shelf life? As long as I keep it in the storage space and don't take it out, how long the shelf life lasts is up to me, right?"
Lin Bei thought to himself, glancing at the Pet Egg's shelf life duration. The next second, he choked violently on his own saliva.
"The Time-Stasis Effect inside the storage space... is actually useless on the Pet Egg?!"
Lin Bei was stunned. He looked at the surrounding items and observed carefully for a while, realizing that aside from this Pet Egg, the time flow rate on other items was indeed relatively static, and the shelf life of other ingredients had not changed either.
"What the hell!"
Lin Bei cursed under his breath, then looked at the Pet Egg, feeling conflicted.
Finally, he let out a long breath and let go of his mental obsession.
"Forget it. If it really passes the shelf life and can't hatch, I'll just eat the egg then!"
"Anyway, the description only says that it cannot hatch life if the shelf life is exceeded; it doesn't say it will spoil. It's an Epic Level quality egg either way, and eating it will definitely be highly nourishing!"
Lin Bei immediately changed his line of thinking. Suddenly, he felt that passing the shelf life might be a good thing. He had never tasted an Epic Level quality egg before.
"Hmm... should I boil it or fry it then? I heard hot spring-boiled eggs taste quite good. Sigh... I'm a bit conflicted."
However, what Lin Bei didn't notice was that while he was staring blankly and fantasizing about enjoying the Epic Level delicacy, the Pet Egg inside the storage space trembled slightly, and a drop of transparent sweat ran down its shell.
