Chapter 65: unlocks the 'Rare Treasure Rank' title path, achievement rewards.
Yu Yuan closed the virtual light screen and looked at the pile of loot on the ground, a smile unconsciously appearing at the corner of his mouth.
Due to the time constraints this time, Yu Yuan hadn't collected much supplies - only two AK-74Us, several dozen rounds of spare ammunition, one PKM machine gun, and over 300 rounds of 7.62×54mmR ammunition.
But just this machine gun alone made Yu Yuan extremely happy. He had something of a collecting obsession with firearms, perhaps it was just a man's natural instinct.
After lovingly stroking it a few times with delighted eyes, he neatly arranged the weapons and ammunition into the warehouse.
"The warehouse needs another upgrade!" Yu Yuan sighed inwardly as he looked at the warehouse almost completely filled with firearms and ammunition. All of these were his trophies!
It would be false to say he wasn't proud!
Then his gaze turned to the backpack found in the general manager's office and the items searched from the thin man Mahada's body.
Among them, a small wooden box caught Yu Yuan's attention.
This wooden box was about eight centimeters long, three centimeters wide, and less than two centimeters thick.
It had been found in the thin man Mahada's inner pocket, hidden closest to his chest.Apart from something the Burning Fortress had been pursuing, Yu Yuan couldn't think of anything else that Mahada would treasure so dearly.
With anticipation and nervousness, Yu Yuan slowly opened the wooden box.
An ordinary-looking brass key appeared before Yu Yuan, with a room tag attached - Motel Main Guest Room.
"A key? An escape key?" Yu Yuan immediately thought of the escape key mentioned in the construction requirements for the escape passage.
Just as he touched the key.
An extremely pleasant yet icy prompt sounded in Yu Yuan's ears, making his soul tremble.
[Ding!]
[Detected that player Yu Yuan (Shelter ID: Yu Yuan) has obtained rare item - Escape Key (Rank 4968)]
[Hidden conditions triggered: ① Obtain rare item with rank ≥ 5000 ×1 (√); ② Possess shelter management authority (√); ③ Title route opener (√); ④ Player has not left newbie protection period (√), conditions met. Opening 'Rare Item Long Staircase' title route, reward: Survival Points +5000]
[Congratulations to Yu Yuan Shelter for opening - Rare Item Leaderboard authority]
[Obtained title: Peering Eye (Rare)]
[Achievement completed: Rare Item Collector (Rare)]
[Obtained achievement points: 500 points]
[Yu Yuan Shelter Leaderboard information has changed... Starting ranking assessment: Development potential ↑, Risk resistance coefficient ↑, Achievement bonus ↑, Title scarcity.....]
[Current shelter ranking: 8599th (↑750 ranks)]
Hiss...
Yu Yuan looked at the lines of prompt information appearing on the virtual light screen, his heartbeat accelerating.
The ranking actually directly increased... by 750 ranks.
This...
He looked at the utterly ordinary key in his hand.
He never would have thought it could possess such tremendous power.
You have to understand, from the time he entered the wasteland world until now, the total ranking increase he had achieved was only 751 ranks!
Yet because of this single key in his hand, his ranking directly jumped by 750 ranks.
This was no longer a pleasant surprise, but downright frightening!
This wasn't like the early days when his ranking was around 10,000 anymore - the higher the ranking, the more difficult it becomes to improve.
Every subsequent rank improvement requires increasingly difficult amounts of resources and achievement points.
After taking several deep breaths to calm his excitement, Yu Yuan looked at the light screen again.
He knew that the reason for such a large improvement this time had little to do with achievement points - after all, 500 achievement points weren't enough to jump so many ranks.
The most crucial factors were the newly opened 'Rare Item Long Staircase' title route and the [Peering Eye] title.
The scarcity of this title route and its bonus to shelter development potential even exceeded that of the 'City Shadows' title route.
He eagerly looked at the newly obtained title - Peering Eye.
Title: Peering Eye
Quality: Rare
Path affiliation: Rare Item Long Staircase
Effects: ① Opens spiritual vision, mental resistance +15, mental trauma recovery speed +20%; ② When gazing at target creatures, chance to see through weaknesses; ③ Shelter facility [Workbench] adds optimization path - Rare Item Workshop.
"Spiritual vision? And what's this Rare Item Workshop!"
Yu Yuan looked at the information on the light screen, his gaze profound.
First rare items, then peering, and now spiritual vision and a rare item workshop have appeared.
His mind instantly recalled what he witnessed at the Orleans Hotel.
That sacrifice ritual performed by the Aurora Animal Assistance Association at the Johnck Zoo...
"The threat of the Aurora Animal Assistance Association... I still underestimated it!"
The only good news now was that the [Peering Eye] title effects were quite powerful, offering both mental resistance and recovery speed bonuses.
Then Yu Yuan looked at the newly obtained achievement [Rare Item Collector] and found an unexpected reward.
"Spirit Collector manufacturing blueprint?"
The achievement - [Rare Item Collector] not only provided Yu Yuan with 500 achievement points but also rewarded him with an item manufacturing blueprint.
Yu Yuan opened the shelter facility management log.
The [Workbench] facility indeed showed a newly added optimization path for [Rare Item Workshop], which could be optimized simply by building a level 3 workbench.
And in the item manufacturing list, a red-glowing manufacturing page had appeared - Spirit Collector.
The red glow indicated that the item manufacturing conditions weren't met. Yu Yuan checked the manufacturing requirements:
- Level 3 Workbench, Fresh Spiritual Creature Blood 100ml, Spiritual Creature Droppings 100g, CPU ×2, Portable Electronic Instrument ×1, White Crystal (purity above 99.5%) ×3
Good grief!
Yu Yuan couldn't help but rub his temples. He hadn't even figured out the previous stuff yet!
Now spiritual creatures had appeared - where was he supposed to find spiritual creatures?
He was in the wasteland world, after all!
But soon he noticed something unusual - in the [Spirit Collector] manufacturing list, two items were actually showing in white status.
White status indicated that he already possessed these items, and these two items were: Spiritual Creature Droppings 100g, and Portable Electronic Instrument.
Yu Yuan clicked for details. For Portable Electronic Instrument, there were three items that met the conditions: laptop, mobile phone, and positioning watch.
The laptop was the one found at the Orleans Hotel.
There were several mobile phones, all meeting the conditions.
The positioning watch surprised Yu Yuan - he hadn't expected that items from Fate's Gift would count as manufacturing materials.
And when he saw the item displayed for Spiritual Creature Droppings, he felt a sense of "as expected" in his heart.
- Flame Priest Robe.
That's right!
The Flame Priest Robe was the so-called spiritual creature droppings, but Yu Yuan knew the key here should be the flame wolf hide used to make the robe.
"If flame wolf hide is spiritual creature droppings, then flame wolves are the so-called spiritual creatures."
If that's the case.
Yu Yuan instantly thought of the giant mutant rat...
