Chapter 153 – 153. Red Reward Box

A total of 4 more beast-type rewards were released. The first of them.

[Unknown Fragment: An amorphous creature torn from the edge of the void. They are greatly influenced by their owner’s tendencies, food, and environment, and their appearance and characteristics change depending on the direction in which they are raised. Some people sometimes use it as a weapon or armor. Sometimes they can be great companions.]

“No, what does it mean to be a companion?”

“Uh.. Bestiality?”

“Oh my.”

This dark lump is used as a sexual toy and made into a pet. What on earth would a pet make like that look like? I’m so curious.

“First of all, who will raise this guy?”

“They say its characteristics change depending on the person raising it and the environment. If my brother and I raise it, it will become a crazy, murderous monster.”

“Oh my. That’s a bit… “

“You said you were going to make Saeyeon a summoner anyway? “Let’s run, sister.”

“I guess so.”

Wouldn’t Saeyeon’s sister raise her well?

“Then the next creature.”

“Huh. He’s cute.”

“Kkiing.”

A pure white ball-shaped creature wriggled inside the cage and whined. Should I say that doing things differently from a dog is like a dog?

[Multipurpose Furball: A creature made of pure white fur whose staple food is magic stones. It is very gentle, and when petted, its sanity level increases quickly, and sometimes it spits out hair clumps. It feeds on magic stones and reproduces itself using the hair it spits out. It can also be used for food.]

Surprisingly, it can be used not only for pets but also for food. Farming is possible.

We can already catch and eat animal meat at the base, but it seems like it could be very good food for survivors who don’t.

That’s great. Multi-purpose fur ball. I like it.

“It looks soft. That’s right, brother.”

“I know. Since it seems to be self-proliferating, we can increase the number and put it on the table. Right?”

“Uh? Huh. Yeah, that’s right. Haha.”

It can be used as food for black snakes and other animals.

I think it would be good to raise it as both a pet and food.

[Angiosperm bundle: When attached to the chest, it burrows in and replaces the heart. Even if your heart bursts, you will not die. Moreover, the defective part becomes capable of regeneration and the body is not taken over by parasites. You become immune to most diseases and your body becomes healthy.]

[Caution. Nutrients can only be acquired through predation on one’s own kind.]

A bunch of red blood vessels inside a glass bottle. They say it replaces the heart, but the side effects are too great. Eating your own people. It means eating people.

No matter who I am, cannibalism is a bit uncomfortable. I got kuru disease.

“This is a bit much.”

“It’s a bit like cannibalism..”

“Wait a minute, what happens if I give this to Junho?”

“?!”

Uncle Junho only needs to drink water. So, if you give this to Junho, wouldn’t Junho actually have no penalty?

[It seems like there is a lot of potential.]

I think Agaf will work too. This feels pretty good.

Jun Ho-jae, who has improved his constitution through photosynthesis, is feeling younger and younger these days. My muscles also increased significantly. If you take care of the blood vessels here, I think I’ll become a really crazy superhuman.

When he was first accepted into the group, he was a weak-looking man who seemed ready to sacrifice himself and die for his daughter, but he is now becoming a muscular man. It’s just amazing.

“Now, this is the last beast-type reward… Is this a living creature?”

“Yes.”

The last of the beasts that came out of the yellow box surprisingly looked more like a structure than a living creature.

[Subject MA-7: This is the failed work of an unknown doctor who attempted to create a perfect organism. You can learn the characteristics of the target you preyed on. You can survive with only magic stones and a small amount of water.]

[Caution. If you acquire more than 8 characteristics, you will age rapidly.]

The final beast type reward was quite unique. You can acquire the characteristics of the target you developed as if you were robbing me of my spirit and body.

I immediately activated ability insight towards him.

[Factor acquisition (S)]

[Effect: You can learn the unique factors of the preyed target by using the skill.]

[Handicap: Always activated. You can replace meals with magic stones.]

[Penalty: If you acquire 8 or more, aging becomes faster.]

So, this means that this cub cannot eat living things.

This is because factor acquisition is activated unconditionally if you eat any creature other than magic stones and water.

“If I feed this cub a hairball, will it get self-proliferation of the hairball?”

“..Oppa, should I feed you?”

“No, I’m just curious.”

They say it can feed 8 living things.

It’s about the size of a large watermelon. What happens if you feed this guy world tree aphids and hair balls?

Then it will become a bundle of fur with both characteristics, right?

First of all, if I have someone to feed in moderation later, I will try to feed them. It’s okay to feed up to 7.

Next is the plant type reward.

[Last Dance: If you take it by tearing it in the bud, you will fall into a ‘loop’. From the time you take it, the day repeats infinitely, and to get out of the infinite loop, you just have to swallow the flower root. I hope you find a clue to survival through the endlessly repeating days.]

[Caution. If a creature other than a human eats it, the body will disappear.]

“This is…”

“It means attacking while dying infinitely.”

“Yes.”

You end up in an infinite loop where 24 hours repeat indefinitely. The idea was to find a way to survive after eating when it seemed like there was literally no way to survive.

“I only have one flower, so I have to save it.”

“I have to make sure I don’t die.”

Good for conquering the labyrinth. You can just rush in thinking you can die.

[Fairy’s Nest: A white oak tree. If you grow a tree, you can periodically obtain a pixie. If you grind Pixie finely and put it in water, you will be able to fly for 5 minutes. If you chew a pixie alive, you can teleport once.]

“Ohh.”

“Oh?”

“Uh? Why?”

“Oh, no.”

If you grind up a fairy and take it with water, you will be able to levitate. Moreover, it is said to be capable of one-time instantaneous movement, so it is quite an incredible item.

[Lonely Witch’s Licorice: Licorice used as one of the ingredients for potions. When chewed raw, it can produce extreme psychological pleasure along with mild hallucinations. If you boil it and drink it, it is good for skin care. If you do not feed it magic stones periodically, it will wither.]

[Caution. When addicted, intelligence decreases and behavior becomes sluggish.]

“It’s a drug.”

“I see. Looking at the reward, it seems like they are telling me to chew licorice by myself.”

To chew licorice, you must collect magic stones, and to collect magic stones, you must conquer the labyrinth, so you are naturally encouraged to survive.

A survivor who is so addicted will try hard to chew licorice.

I never thought they prepared drugs as a suicide prevention measure.

‘Well, you can feed it to animals that will become livestock.’

If you look for it, you will find a lot of it. However, we needed to warn our group members not to eat this. If a druggie comes out, it will be difficult to handle.

“Now these people are finished.”

Finally, the last three rewards.

Unlike the previous beast-type or plant-type rewards, the remaining two rewards were all ‘slaves’.

[Wandering Sloth Doctor: A doctor who wandered through hell. He has a great deal of biological knowledge and is skilled in medicine.]

[Caution. If the prisoner’s necklace is removed from the neck, indiscriminate human experiments will begin.]

Inside the cage sat a man with a despairing expression. He was a white man with broken glasses. He had a somewhat detached expression on his face, looked at us and spoke to us.

“Oppa, what is that guy saying?”

“I don’t understand either.”

I can’t understand a single thing. It goes beyond a foreign language and feels like a language from another world. Since we have acquired the fragment of the Tower of Babel, we will be able to communicate within the labyrinth.

First, let’s check the next slave. This is the last time. There really are a lot. It was a good idea to leave the green and blue reward boxes to other party members.

If we had cracked all of them, we would have had to play with boxes all day.

[Abandoned ship engineer: He has a lot of knowledge about the Yi people. Items made through magic engineering can be repaired.]

[Caution. If you take off the criminal’s necklace hanging around his neck, he will run away.]

“Key.”

“Technicians are good.”

In addition to being a doctor, he also became an engineer. As expected, words did not make sense. They are talking about something, but I have no idea what they are talking about.

“First, I opened all the yellow boxes.”

“Huh. There are five more red boxes left.”

“It’s truly incredible.”

“Isn’t it difficult to die at this level?”

As Ayun said, five people conquered the simple labyrinth together and were able to obtain a huge amount of reward.

‘The 111 people who escaped would have received similar compensation.’

Up to 3 yellow, 10 green, and 5 blue.

Even if you are not as wealthy as us, you will probably never die as a zombie. Unless crazy ghouls start a mass uprising.

‘And they are all my enemies.’

I don’t know what the Shogus are planning behind their backs, so they are naturally my enemies, and the other survivors are also the ones I missed, so it is highly likely that they are aware of my existence and consider me my enemy.

‘It’s a shame we missed 61 people.’

If those guys are sharpening their knives for the same rewards as me, there’s a good chance that a pretty awkward situation will unfold. Moreover, he might be entering the forest of the missing right now and setting a trap.

“Oppa, what’s wrong?”

“No. It’s complicated in many ways.”

There is no choice but to become stronger. It’s a world where there’s no reason to become stronger while maintaining balance anyway, so all you have to do is just become the strongest among humanity and wipe them all out.

To do that, open the red reward box. Since the quality of life has improved with just 15 yellow boxes, a higher level red reward box would be even greater.

“Ruler! First!”

“Brother, me! “I want to open it.”

“Good.”

Ayun excitedly opened the first red reward box.

“What is this?”

“Manhole cover?”

[Underground Connector: This is the entrance that connects to the infinite underground level. If you install it on the floor and insert a magic stone for access, you can enter the underground space.]

[Caution. If you get lost, you may not be able to return. Sometimes something is discovered.]

It’s not just a back room, it’s connected to the basement. How wide is it to get lost?

“Hmm. It’s ambiguous.”

I won’t know for sure until I go in and check inside. First of all, it feels like I just got a new warehouse. Do you feel like you can expand the warehouse by attaching it to the floor of a portable warehouse?

I immediately opened the next box.

An obelisk that appears to be about 3 meters tall was created.

[Gate Coagulator: Brings all gates generated nearby here.]

[Caution: All gates connected to dangerous areas such as the Blood World or Hell are also dragged.]

“This is..”

This is pretty good. I’m not sure what the range is, but if I had this, I wouldn’t have to go around looking for the gate.

You can enter through the gate right away.

“Good. Next!”

I immediately took the next box…

“Quaaa!!!”

“Ahh! Oppa!!!”

The moment we opened the box we were thrown back. The iron bars around it were blown back, and a huge object appeared in the middle of them.

[Planetary Air Conditioner: By absorbing planetary energy, you can control the surrounding temperature and climate. A large amount of energy can be extracted and used.]

[Caution. Excessive use may cause climate abnormalities. If all of the planet’s energy is used up, a supernova explosion will occur.]

“Chew.”

“…”

It was a type of power plant that could extract and use planetary energy.

The building was roughly the size of a convenience store. The inside was almost empty, with only a few unidentifiable machines placed there. The usage was intuitive.

It could raise or lower the temperature, make it rain or snow, and furthermore, planetary energy was displayed.

“If you use up all of this, the planet will explode?”

“Can I use it all?”

This figure surpasses Cho, Kyung, and Hae. It seemed like humanity would perish before it was all used up.

“First, shall we raise the temperature a little?”

“Huh. It was already a bit cold.”

As I pressed the temperature increase button, the building vibrated slightly and immediately started operating.

“I don’t know.. Huh?”

“The temperature is rising.”

“Is this really working?”

In this case, you can plant a luminescent tree to obtain light and then turn it on to warm the surrounding area.

Then we can overcome the unprecedented disaster that is the winter night. You’re crazy. We have now overcome a disaster.

‘This will attract flies.’

If all kinds of out-of-towners found out that you had such amazing items, they would flock to you. How many survivors will gather to target these valuable resources?

When survivors gather, warlords and ghouls will naturally flock as well.

I need to find a way to stop their aggression.

“First, next.”

There are two more boxes left.

From an underground building of infinite size, an obelisk that pulls up all the nearby gates, and even a power generation facility that uses planetary energy.

Even just one of the previous three was extremely advantageous for survival. What will come out this time?

We decided to go somewhere far away from the planet’s air conditioning facility and open the box.

If the building protrudes again this time, it will be quite difficult.

“Okay then, open it.”

“Yes.”

Ayun was worried that she might get blown away this time, so she fell far away.

Since I wouldn’t get hurt even if I got blown up, I boldly opened the box.

“Keuuuuu uuuuuck!!!

This time too, a large object popped out.

[Survivor’s Association: A community facility for survivors. You can receive various requests. If you complete a quest, you can receive various rewards, and if you donate coins, locked stores and various facilities will be opened.]

“It really turned around.”

“There is no one inside.”

“Really?”

When I entered the building, all the lights were off and no one was there.

Of course, it was impossible to turn on the light because there was no electricity.

[Staff Deployment: 100 Old Gold Coins]

“It’s like this.”

In order to use the facility, a large amount of gold coins were needed.

Since we have collected at least 500, it seems that important facilities can be opened immediately. This gives me one more reason to make money.

“If you invest 400 gold coins here, you can bring a merchant.”

“I see. “I really have to work hard to earn it.”

If you use this well, there is no need to wait for the real purple gate to be created.

“Whoa.”

The rewards I’ve gotten so far have all been huge, so my mind is a little confused.

This time it’s really the last time. Now there is only one red reward box left.

“Yellow is a living thing. “Red gives the impression of a building.”

“I see.”

It feels like a fairly large building or structure is sticking out.

“Well, now it’s the last time.”

Today, I just need to check this and organize my things.

[Gateway for space movement: Creates a gate at the desired location. 100 advanced magic stones are required for one operation.]

[Caution. If two or more people move at the same time, they may get mixed up.]

“…”

The last item in the red reward box was an arch-shaped teleportation device.

After killing a person, teleportation became possible.

When people die, they leave behind a red box.

“Ayun-ah.”

“Huh?”

“We will survive.”

I have gained so much, but it would be rude to die without even being able to use it properly.

First of all, Ah Yun looks a bit tired, so I’ll tell her to go to bed first and then I’ll put my things away.

Then, I will receive a blessing and receive an exorcism-related skill through exorcism.

I gained an unbelievable amount by conquering the Fallen Forest.
