Wasteland Hideout: Upgrading from the Sewers

Chapter 361: Emptying 'Firefly Earth's' Shelter, Loot Worth Tens of Millions

As the entire set of exercise equipment was cleared out.

Yu Yuan came to the workbench. There weren't any completed items on it, but there was a notebook lying open there.

The appearance of this workbench was also quite different from Yu Yuan's.

It looked less like a crafting workbench and more like a research workstation.

A crystalline screen stood upright in front of the workstation, and the desktop itself was a touch-operated control panel.

It was brimming with a sense of advanced technology.

Yu Yuan picked up that notebook to examine it.

Only then did he notice that this was actually a cultivation log for fireflies. It clearly documented the problems 'Firefly Earth' encountered while cultivating fireflies and their solutions, and it even included cultivation methods for special individuals.

There wasn't just one notebook. Beneath the workstation was a cabinet, and inside were all similar notebooks.

Yu Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly. These notes were quite valuable.He collected all these notebooks.

His gaze then shifted to the crystalline screen on the workstation. Only then did he notice that this should be a map of the surrounding forest area collected by 'Firefly Earth'.

The central area of the map was the shelter's location, and many annotations had already been made on the map.

For example, one spot was marked with [Abundant Berries], another spot was marked with [Danger!], and another, in an area that was clearly mountainous, was marked with [Spirit Ginseng]...

Overall, this was a world rich in resources and with a relatively low danger coefficient.

At least for this forest, that was indeed the case.

The temperature was suitable, food resources were abundant. The only potential danger was the creatures in the forest. As long as one survived the early stage, became familiar with the surroundings, and mastered weapons, this place would be a large base where one could develop peacefully.

However, on the way here earlier, he had also seen many traces of battle. This world had been invaded by many players, but 'Firefly Earth' had fought his way through until now.

Yu Yuan scanned this map with his Positioning Watch, just in case.

He then pushed open the warehouse door. Seeing the supplies inside, Yu Yuan smiled.

This warehouse had obviously also been optimized and upgraded, with an extremely large internal area.

Jerky, dozens, even hundreds of strips of jerky were hanging from the warehouse ceiling.

The lower part of the warehouse was divided into three areas. The first area had rows of neat storage shelves. The shelves were piled high with large and small packages of dried mushrooms, and some were filled with bamboo-woven trays containing many semi-dried mushrooms and medicinal herbs.

Clearly, these had been picked very recently.

On a separate shelf were placed wooden boxes, one after another.

Yu Yuan picked up a wooden box and opened it. His eyes lit up.

"Holy crap!"

Inside the box was actually a wild mountain ginseng root.

Although Yu Yuan had never seen what a wild mountain ginseng looked like, the moment he saw this ginseng root, he knew it was absolutely the real deal.

And the Virtual Light Screen immediately popped up with the specific information of the ginseng.

[Spirit Ginseng]

Quality: Epic

Age: 301 years

Uses: Can be consumed directly, used in alchemy, or synthesized

Function: For creatures below Silver-tier, consuming a single ginseng whisker while in a near-death state can forcibly prolong life, restore vitality, and restore consciousness. Duration: 1 hour.

——————————

Looking at the dense cluster of whiskers on this ginseng root, the corner of Yu Yuan's mouth twitched slightly.

"Firefly Earth, you had something like this and you didn't take it with you? If you don't die, who will!"

Yu Yuan also found it a bit absurd.

If 'Firefly Earth' had carried a few ginseng whiskers with him at the time, he absolutely would not have died so quickly.

However, judging by the condition of this Spirit Ginseng, it was clear that 'Firefly Earth' treasured it greatly. Perhaps there was also the reason of not having the heart to damage the ginseng's integrity.

Regardless of whether that was the case or not, Yu Yuan was extremely happy. He closed the wooden box and stored it in the Rabbit Ring.

He definitely wouldn't turn his nose up at such a good thing.

He quickly opened all the other wooden boxes as well.

Without exception, they all contained precious medicinal herbs of Rare-tier or above. Each type was of extraordinary value. Some could be steeped in water and drunk, while others needed to be stewed.

Yu Yuan happily stored another Epic-quality [Blood Ganoderma] along with all the wooden boxes into his ring.

A clean sweep.

Whether it was the [Spirit Ginseng] or the [Blood Ganoderma], Yu Yuan had seen their markings on the crystalline screen map on the workstation.

In other words, all these Rare-tier and Epic-tier medicinal herbs were discovered by 'Firefly Earth' within this forest.

If calculated this way, although this world was just an ordinary world, it still had development value.

"Epic-tier medicinal herbs!"

The two areas at the back of the warehouse were the survival supplies area and the combat readiness supplies area, respectively.

The survival supplies were likely trophies 'Firefly Earth' collected through invasion wars, as the types of supplies here were quite varied and miscellaneous.

There were both processed foods and items like clothing that were clearly made by players.

As for the combat readiness supplies area, it contained various weapons, equipment, and ammunition.

Yu Yuan quickly browsed through them. Some were clearly brought out from the Wasteland Battle Royale, while others were obtained from other players.

Some of the equipment attributes were still decent. Giving them to the warriors of the Black Shield Police Department to wear would be quite good.

After checking everything, all the supplies in the entire warehouse were packed up and taken away, loaded into the Motel Main Guest Room.

Exiting the warehouse, he continued down the stairs to the second underground level.

This was a small farm, constructed quite well.

Chili peppers, tomatoes, spinach, cabbage, scallions, etc., a wide variety.

Yu Yuan could only sigh with admiration. As expected of a veteran player. Forget everything else, just this vegetable plot alone would make many people envious and jealous.

Groundwater irrigation facilities, ventilation facilities, lighting facilities—everything was complete. Many vegetables were already ripe.

This level also had a tool room containing many plant seeds and various fertilizers accumulated by 'Firefly Earth'.

Yu Yuan accepted everything without refusal, storing it all into the Main Guest Room.

All the supplies from the two underground levels of the shelter had been thoroughly looted by Yu Yuan.

A great harvest.

However, on this lowest level, Yu Yuan also saw a wooden door marked "Tunnel."

After Zhi Zhi's activated shadow quickly checked it out, he learned.

They say a cunning rabbit has three burrows. This tunnel connected to a different exit location, quite hidden and difficult to find.

Since there were no supplies, Yu Yuan didn't bother with it further.

Returning to the first level and going up the stairs, the second level was 'Firefly Earth's' Rest Area.

In one corner of the room was placed a dark red wooden Treasure Chest.

Yu Yuan walked over and opened the chest.

One [Civilization War Token], 7 bottles totaling 14 milliliters of [Hundred Flowers Nectar], two bottles totaling 2 milliliters of [Nectar Essence], one book [Essence of the Hundred Flowers Civilization], one Epic-tier recipe [Spiritual Creature Lure], and a blue paper train ticket. Finally, there was a notebook.

Hiss...

Yu Yuan's breathing became slightly rapid.

"Is this the strength of a veteran player?"

One [Civilization War Token] was worth 1 million.

7 bottles of [Hundred Flowers Nectar] were worth 500,000 × 7 = 3.5 million.

Yu Yuan had never heard of [Nectar Essence] before, so its value was unclear. But just from the name, it clearly belonged to an upgraded version of [Hundred Flowers Nectar].

Temporarily calculating the value of one bottle of [Nectar Essence] as three times that of [Hundred Flowers Nectar], two bottles would be 3 million survival points.

Yu Yuan picked up the [Essence of the Hundred Flowers Civilization]. Reading this book could actually allow one to comprehend the extraction methods for [Hundred Flowers Nectar], [Nectar Essence], and [Hundred Flowers Essence].

Yu Yuan felt somewhat incredulous.

"Could 'Firefly Earth' be the player selling [Hundred Flowers Nectar]?" This speculation flashed through Yu Yuan's mind.

The value of this book was too immense, and it simply could not be measured in survival points.

Yu Yuan immediately understood that he had grasped a treasure trove of incalculable value.

This was a 'hen' that could lay golden eggs.

The Epic-tier recipe was for a spiritual creature bait. Yu Yuan temporarily estimated its value to be at least several hundred thousand to a million survival points.

Just the items listed above already had a value exceeding ten million.

Finally, he picked up that blue paper train ticket.

And the moment he picked up the ticket, an unexpected mechanical prompt sounded in his ear.
