Chapter 108: The Safe Opens, Huge Explosion!
Click—
Inside the shelter, as the sound of the lock core opening rang out, the safe door sprang open.
[Ding...]
[Successfully cracked Rare-tier lock. Lock Picking skill gained significant proficiency. Skill level has increased↑. Current skill level is Rare.]
Hearing the mechanical prompt in his ear, a look of 'as expected' appeared in Yu Yuan's eyes.
"As expected, it rose to Rare tier!"
Watching the background color of the [Lock Picking] skill in the skill column change from green to blue.
The experience of forgetting to eat and sleep while cracking locks over the past two days, and the anticipation for the supplies inside the safe, all erupted at this moment.
A smile hung on Yu Yuan's lips as he pulled open the safe door and took out the contents inside.
Mechanical prompts began to appear one after another.[Ding... Discovered high-value supplies!]
[Discovered shelter facility special bluepr.....]
[Ding...]
Looking at the documents and notebook in his hand, Yu Yuan's breathing became slightly rapid.
—[On Shooting Range Integration: Experience Optimization and Efficiency Design]
—[Spike Trap Creation and Optimization Design Sketches for Urban Defense Warfare]
—[Concept for Special Creature Cage: Creation of High-Voltage Cage]
—Notebook: [Application of Loris's Interrogation Methods and Interrogation Psychology]
—Ledger: [Nightingale Material Transfer Ledger]
Two Rare-tier shelter facility blueprints, one Rare-tier Workbench blueprint, and one Bronze-tier book.
"Strike it rich!"
Yu Yuan immediately added all the blueprints. Instantly, the construction paths for the shelter facilities [Indoor Shooting Range] and [Defense - Spike Trap], as well as the production list [Crafting: High-Voltage Electric Cage], appeared on his light screen.
That interrogation notebook by Loris had a similar effect to the [Sniper Training Notes]. Both could be read to learn the interrogation techniques and methods inside, with a small probability and a very small probability of comprehending Ordinary skills and Excellent skills.
Driven by curiosity about Loris, Yu Yuan briefly flipped through the notebook in his hand. He could see that Loris attached great importance to this notebook.
The records on every page were written stroke by stroke, quite meticulously.
Just as Yu Yuan finished skimming through the notebook roughly and was about to place it on the Magazine Display Stand.
[Ding...]
[Congratulations on successfully comprehending the skill — Cruel Interrogation (Ordinary)]
The corner of Yu Yuan's mouth twitched. Looking at the new skill that suddenly appeared on the light screen, a sense of absurdity rose in his heart.
What did this mean?
He had been reading about sniping and low-altitude parachuting for so many days without the slightest comprehension.
Yet he just skimmed through this notebook casually, and the skill came directly?
This probability definitely had some explanation.
—Cruel Interrogation (Ordinary)
Skill Effect (Passive): When inflicting physical harm on a target, it is easier to obtain the desired information. Easier to detect flaws and lies in the words of the tortured target; Increases psychological intimidation against the target, reduces the tolerance of the tortured target's psychological defenses, and lowers the probability of lying.
"This skill is quite strong!" Yu Yuan's eyes lit up. This skill came at the perfect time and would be greatly useful for his next actions.
As for the [Nightingale Material Transfer Ledger], it recorded the distribution of spoils from Nightingale between the Black Shield Police Department and the Aurora Animal Assistance Association.
A portion of it was withheld by Fries, which might also be the reason for the abundance of supplies in the previous Safe House.
Finally, at the very end.
Yu Yuan's gaze fell on the last item in the safe.
It was a small wooden box. When opened, it contained an empty test tube, but on the tube wall, a trace of light green liquid could be seen.
—[R-series Genetic Modification Potion Residue]
Quality: Rare
Introduction: This is the residue of a crazy experimental potion, containing forbidden power within.
"R-series!"
Yu Yuan thought of the serial numbers of those mutated creatures that appeared in Ning Zhe's Laptop, which started with X.
"Could this be the experimental potion of the Aurora Animal Assistance Association?"
Thinking of this, he opened the [Regional Event] page.
Sure enough, there was a change in the second task requirement, regarding the potion specimens for the human live experiments.
—Human Live Experiment Potion Sample (Completion 3%)
"It really is..."
Yu Yuan couldn't help but feel a sliver of admiration for Loris.
Being able to get his hands on the experimental potion of the Aurora Animal Assistance Association, even if only a drop, was pretty damn impressive.
Did he also have someone inside the Aurora Animal Assistance Association?
With the safe opened, Yu Yuan checked the time; it was already 7:30 PM.
He prepared to set off for Dale's place.
With Mie Mie around, Yu Yuan quickly arrived near Pinewood Subway Station, and night had already fallen.
Leaving the sewer in the dark and entering the subway station, he did not let his guard down, still carefully checking the situation underfoot.
He soon reached the entrance of the Communication Passage and slowly pushed open the door.
Clatter, clatter, clatter....
The sound of a soda can echoed in the connecting passage. A vigilant head immediately poked out from a room within the passage.
It was Dale!
Seeing that the visitor was Yu Yuan, Dale finally relaxed and waved his hand.
"You're finally here! I thought something had happened to you. The mealworm larvae have hatched; come and see!"
It was apparent that Dale's spirits were not very good, somewhat listless.
Perhaps the impact from that group of scavengers a few days ago hadn't faded yet.
Yu Yuan still maintained basic caution and followed Dale into the mealworm incubation room.
Dale had already taken the newly hatched mealworm larvae and put them into a cultivation box himself, handing it to Yu Yuan.
"How is your batch of eggs hatching? They should have all hatched by now too, right?"
Yu Yuan nodded slightly.
"They have indeed hatched. It seems they are all in pretty good condition!"
"That's good, that's good!" Dale also breathed a sigh of relief.
"It seems the environmental adaptability of this batch of mealworms is quite good! The direction of my cultivation wasn't wrong."
"Just follow the method I taught you before and cultivate them slowly. It won't be long before the mealworms absolutely bring you a big surprise."
Yu Yuan did not deny Dale's words.
He also took the opportunity to ask Dale the question he was most concerned about.
"The method for growing vegetables..." Dale was slightly taken aback, then turned and walked towards the corner where he piled his research materials. After rummaging for a while, he tossed a book to Yu Yuan.
"This is a book I specifically took with me before. At the time, I had the same idea as you about growing vegetables. I've already memorized all the content inside. Take the book back with you to read! It should help you resolve all your doubts."
—[Modern Vegetable Cultivation Techniques Manual]
Yu Yuan nodded slightly; he indeed needed this book very much.
Putting the book into his backpack, he also took out half a bag of flour he had collected earlier from his backpack and handed it to Dale.
"This flour is contaminated with dust, but it should be fine for feeding mealworms. I'll leave it with you."
Dale was very pleased with the flour. This half bag of flour was enough for him to cultivate quite a few mealworms.
"Good! Thank you so much! I was just worrying about the food problem for the mealworms!"
Since the official business was done, Yu Yuan didn't plan to stay long and immediately said goodbye to Dale.
After leaving the Communication Passage, he tossed the mealworms and his backpack into the Magician's Ring, mounted Mie Mie, and headed towards Qiu Yan Subway Station.
