Chapter 183: Wasteland Trial Ends, S-Rank Rating, Golden Civilization Chest
Listening to the information coming from the broadcast, Yu Yuan immediately jumped up, using both hands and feet to throw every single item in the room into the Rabbit Ring, not missing a single one.
Books, notebooks, supplies, even a pen or a piece of paper, he didn't let anything go.
If it weren't for those experimental instruments he found earlier in the Blood Lab, which occupied most of the space inside the Rabbit Ring.
He really would have stuffed even the office desk in there.
However, the safe was already fixed to the wall, so he could only open it.
Yu Yuan swore.
His lock picking speed had never been as fast as it was today!
The moment he opened the safe, ignoring the prompt information ringing in his ears.
He scooped everything into the Rabbit Ring, turned tail, and sprinted towards the location of the stairwell passage.
Sprinting!Yu Yuan was sprinting!
"Damn it! Why did they build the damn stairwell passage so far away?" he cursed inwardly, but his footsteps only exchanged more rapidly.
【5...4...3....】
Finally, with just three seconds to spare, Yu Yuan charged into the stairwell passage.
—【Beep! Nerve Gas release commencing!】
As the broadcast sounded again, Yu Yuan looked back and saw the nozzles on the 7th-floor ceiling spraying out a yellow-green gas.
The originally pitch-black office zone space immediately became murky.
Yu Yuan prepared to leave this place as quickly as possible, figuring that with such a high concentration of gas, the stairwell passage would likely be infiltrated by the gas soon too.
But he noticed that just as the nerve gas was about to enter the stairwell passage, it seemed to hit an invisible wall of air, confined solely within the area of the 7th floor.
Yu Yuan stopped, watching this miraculous scene. He took an arrow from the Rabbit Ring and slowly probed forward with it. There was no obstruction, and the arrow simply entered the nerve gas.
"What kind of technology is this? Or some other power?"
Yu Yuan murmured to himself.
But he also understood this was something he couldn't possibly decipher right now.
Perhaps only when his rank rose to Silver, or even Gold, would he have a chance to touch the essence of this world.
It was still far too distant for Yu Yuan.
Yu Yuan turned and ran downstairs.
It turned out the 6th, 4th, 3rd, 1st floors, and B1 were all already enveloped in nerve gas, leaving only the 5th and 2nd floors untainted.
Yu Yuan pulled out the Escape Indicator and detected the locations of three escape pods on the 5th floor.
Without further delay, he immediately ran towards the escape pod locations. The Infected here had already been partially cleared by the handgun players earlier, so he quickly found the risen escape pod.
Following the prompts, he twisted the valve. The escape pod opened, revealing a space just large enough for one adult to squeeze into, plus a backpack and weapons.
—【Enter the escape pod to complete the escape】
Seeing the prompt information, Yu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Checking the time, there was still half an hour before the trial ended.
Yu Yuan didn't plan to waste this last bit of time.
He looked at several red dots on his Combat Detector, the Rare-tier great hammer appearing in his hand as he ran towards that location.
————————
【Congratulations, Player ID: Yu Yuan Shelter has completed the Wasteland Trial. Comprehensive evaluation in progress: Number of players killed, number of Infected killed, number of Elite Infected killed, number of Leader-level Infected killed, total value of acquired supplies.... Total value of acquired supplies... Total value of acquired supplies.....】
When Yu Yuan opened his eyes again, he was already back in the shelter. But hearing the suddenly stuttering mechanical prompt voice, he felt inexplicably panicked.
"Damn, what's going on? Could there be a problem with the supplies I brought back!" He immediately checked the supplies in the Rabbit Ring, especially the various experimental instruments occupying four-fifths of the space.
He was terrified they might have vanished!
Then, he saw the Virtual Light Screen suddenly light up, the Fate Cards page appearing accordingly. The dazzling golden Gold-grade 【Luxury Card】 in the center of the page suddenly shone with light, illuminating Yu Yuan's face with a golden glow.
Subsequently, the mechanical prompt voice skipped the evaluation phase and went directly to the settlement page.
【After judgment, Player ID: Yu Yuan Shelter's trial settlement evaluation for this session is: 『S』 Reward: Civilization Points ×100】
【Achievement Unlocked: Wasteland Newbie King (Rare)】
【Achievement Points Obtained: 500】
【Player ID: Yu Yuan Shelter: Friend function unlocked, private chat function unlocked, group chat function unlocked, Auction House permissions updated】
Only after the mechanical prompt voice in his ears faded did Yu Yuan finally let out a long sigh of relief.
"Phew!"
"No problems."
His Civilization Points had already reached 110 before, plus the current 100, bringing his total to 210, not far from the 500 mark.
He looked at the Gold-grade 【Luxury Card】 on the Virtual Light Screen, its glow slowly receding.
Yu Yuan had some guesses about the earlier settlement anomaly.
It must have been because the data for the supplies he brought out was too outrageous, especially those experimental instruments. Normal players simply couldn't bring out such instruments, so naturally, there wouldn't be a corresponding value. Yet, relying on the internal space of the Rabbit Ring, he had brought out all those experimental instruments.
He had taken the whole nest, plus other equipment and supplies, which caused the settlement anomaly.
But he hadn't expected the Fate Cards to be this powerful, directly skipping the evaluation phase. Yu Yuan grew increasingly curious about the Fate Cards.
However, when his gaze fell on the information behind the Gold-grade 【Luxury Card】, the smile on his face stiffened.
He rubbed his eyes in disbelief and looked again.
He confirmed he was not seeing things!
"What kind of joke is this? Wasn't the survival point cost for expanding the shelter 3 million? How did it become 4 million?"
Why did the expansion cost suddenly increase by 1 million!
Yu Yuan looked at the Gold 【Luxury Card】.
"Big bro, is your... appearance fee this expensive?"
Seeing he was only short by one million to complete the expansion task, and that selling the Genetic Modification Serum would have covered it, now this!
Another delay!
But Yu Yuan quickly regained his composure.
The increase in expansion cost was already unavoidable; better to focus on taking stock of the supplies quickly!
He closed the Fate Cards page.
Yu Yuan looked at the newly obtained 【Wasteland Newbie King】 achievement!
Only then did he realize there was only one way to obtain this achievement: get an S-grade evaluation in the Wasteland Trial.
Currently, the proportion of players who had obtained this achievement was 0.0016%!
"So few?"
Yu Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly, then saw the reward for this achievement.
— Gold Civilization Treasure Chest
The reward for this achievement was actually a Gold Civilization Treasure Chest.
Yu Yuan knew all too well the difficulty of obtaining a Gold Civilization Treasure Chest. He immediately claimed the Gold Civilization Treasure Chest.
Just as he was about to open the chest, he stopped.
He quickly unequipped Mie Mie, adding fresh green grass for it.
First, he entered the Motel Main Guest Room bathroom, cleaning the bloodstains and various stains off his equipment and giving himself a quick rinse.
The Main Guest Room bathroom was also left in a filthy state.
Then, he entered the shelter's bathroom for a more thorough cleaning.
He scrubbed himself three whole times, until the water from the water heater turned cold, before he stepped out.
With a devout expression, he approached the Gold Civilization Treasure Chest and opened the Virtual Light Screen—Fate Cards.
Looking at the dazzling golden 【Luxury Card】 on the light screen, a hint of hesitation appeared on Yu Yuan's face.
But soon, he let out a long sigh, making up his mind about something. With a firm and resolute gaze fixed on that Gold-grade 【Luxury Card】, he declared with conviction:
"Righteous Father, aid me!"
The corner of Mie Mie's mouth, chewing on green grass, slowly stopped. It tilted its head and looked at Yu Yuan....
