Chapter 109: I Want It All
“Can I have them all?” Yu Jiang asked tentatively,
“This is a mission, not directly giving me skills. As long as I can complete the missions, I can get them all, right?”
Last time this kind of option appeared, there was Healing Light and Poison Rain Upgrade.
She chose Poison Rain, relied on killing Poisonous Spiders in the instance, and finally obtained a healing skill.
The light screen paused for two seconds: [Oh, you’ve discovered it. Player has obtained the Achievement ‘I Want It All’
Reward: Can view mission descriptions when selecting skill missions]
This works too!
In Yu Jiang’s view, some text appeared next to the two options.
a. Poison Rain Upgrade—Requires Mutated Beetle Toxin*66, there might be some in the cave in the Snow Mountain hinterland (Silver Box might also yield it, attack below 60 may not penetrate monster armor)
b. Poison Master’s Blessing—Go to the specified instance to explore, find 5 mutated Mandragora plants, refine medicine (300/300)
Quickly noting down the mission content, Yu Jiang selected the blessing option.
She had already reached the refining medicine requirement.
For things that need to be found in instances, she must now accept the mission to ensure she can select it when choosing instances.
Previously, the poisonous monsters dropped Wooden Boxes or Iron Boxes, this was the first time seeing a Silver Box. Luckily, she had a Monster Toxin Supplier.
Yu Jiang posted a message in the team channel collecting Mutated Beetle Toxin, and privately messaged Wholesale King Wang Defa. She had wide connections and could surely get some.
Having just upgraded the RV, Yu Jiang’s upgrade materials were cleared, but she had 16 Charging Cards. Using one per day, and using battery driving after exceeding 300 mileage, it would last a long time.
She also had a large batch of medicinal herbs. As long as there was Mutated Beetle Toxin, collecting it was no problem.
The Vehicle Protective Shield card from the Wealth Ranking should be the same thing as what the robbers she met on the road used.
A layer of transparent cover, defense calculated by vehicle level, very crash-resistant.
After her Level 5 RV used it, it could withstand two hits from a Large Truck, plus the built-in 10% shield, full sense of security.
Yu Jiang took out the Thermostatic Breeding Box from the storage compartment, Furious Blueberry with Insulated Cover, several pots of medicinal herbs, and succulents in small ceramic pots from the farm.
She had been too busy before and hadn’t had a chance to deal with these.
The Thermostatic Breeding Box consumed very little energy and could hold over a dozen Button Quails. They were very small, eggs about the size of quail eggs, but bred quickly.
The problem was she didn’t know how to raise animals. Plants she could manage, with Sunlight Cards as fast-growing items.
Yu Jiang simply asked in the team channel: “I have two Button Quail eggs here, and a Thermostatic Breeding Box. Anyone want to raise them? We’ll share the output.”
Purple Butt Can Do It: “I do have people here, but our own team members are more reliable.”
After all, outsiders might run off with the things at any time.
Raising this well was a long-term sustainable food source. Meat and eggs were a bit small, but on the apocalyptic highway, having them was good.
Sad Pig Intestine: “I request to join the battle. I’ve raised parrots before, and chickens and ducks at my hometown when I was young.”
Yu Jiang: “Good! You take half the output, the rest I’ll share with everyone.”
With that, she sent the breeding box along with the eggs over.
Next, she started organizing her own plants.
Last time at Happy Farm, she got 5 Fertilizer Cards, which could upgrade crops.
Yu Jiang first used 1 on Furious Blueberry. It was quiet as a chicken, no reaction.
The air was a bit awkward. Not believing it, she used another one.
This time, tender leaves visibly grew on the branches.
[Furious Blueberry: What are you doing! People are still sleeping late at night!]
Yu Jiang: “??? Sleep what sleep! Get up! You’re so young, how can you sleep!”
[Congratulations, player ‘Furious Blueberry’ has leveled up, activated surprise effect: Blueberry Bomb, can deal certain true damage to monsters, better effect against protective shields~
Cooldown 24 hours. When using Blueberry Bomb, please shout: Strike a pose, Blueberry Baby!]
Yu Jiang: .
Was this slogan made up by Furious Blueberry itself? Shouting it out would get laughed to death!
Yu Jiang covered the Plant Insulation Cover, moved it to the rear vehicle frame, and hung a tent cloth.
The RV had poor ventilation inside; raising it there required moving it out occasionally. Better to put it outside. With insulation cover, no fear of frostbite, and key was easier to use Blueberry Bomb.
Thinking about it, Yu Jiang contacted Sixth Brother Blacksmith, “I want to custom-order a few sturdier metal frames, best fully enclosed, to protect my plants from being destroyed by others.”
Sixth Brother Blacksmith replied quickly, “Simple. Scan the dimensions with the light screen and send them to me. One hour and it’ll be done. Reward some food is fine! Farm ingredients are too delicious!”
“No problem.” Yu Jiang happily agreed and sent the things over.
With the remaining three Fertilizer Cards, she saved one and gave two to the poisonous Aconite and non-poisonous Ginseng.
Surprise effects both enhanced medicinal properties.
[Ginseng·Super Version: Can harvest continuously, make higher-level Healing Potions!]
[Aconite: Careful not to get poisoned down! Requires Level Four scroll antidote to cure! Poison Master can refine into weapon, adds 5 minutes bleeding damage, 1 health point loss per minute.]
This was the biggest surprise! Full count, only 5 extra health points consumed, but often that little damage made the difference.
Yu Jiang immediately used Sunlight Cards to quickly grow the plants, harvested the roots, and slightly increased weapon damage.
The bayonet still looked very unremarkable, especially compared to weapons refined with obsidian and such; it was just an ordinary knife.
Who could imagine all these buffs on it.
First critical hit, then poison with 15 minutes bleeding, then weakness.
Hit with all at once, that would be real suffering.
However, Yu Jiang also discovered some patterns in the bayonet buffs. Critical hit effect could trigger consecutively in short time, poison bleeding couldn’t, hard to trigger second time soon, weakness probably same.
Not long after, Sixth Brother Blacksmith sent the things over. It was too dark outside, so Yu Jiang planned to install them tomorrow morning.
Took a hot bath, lay on the bed, watching the snow outside the window, chatting with team channel companions amid the rustling white noise.
Yu Jiang incidentally listed another batch of Frostbite Cream and Wind-Cold Powder. She set it on the trading platform so each player could buy only one portion within three days.
The trading platform handling fee was worth it; these small functions were very useful.
Winter sleep was always exceptionally good. She was just watching everyone chat, and in the blink of an eye, she fell asleep. Waking again, it was already midnight.
The team channel had long gone quiet, but the public screen still had night owls chatting occasionally.
Yu Jiang simply rolled over, fixed the light screen to one side of the wall, reached to dim the small night light, buried her head in the quilt, and continued sleeping.
Since arriving on this road, she usually kept the light screen on at night when sleeping. Only then would she feel at ease when waking up in the middle of the night.
Road Survival in the apocalypse wasn’t scary; being the only player was what was scary.
——
Next day.
Apocalypse Survival time: 31 days
Temperature dropped again.
