"Hoo~!"
After thinking for a moment and finding no leads, Ye Feng simply stopped thinking.
He let out a breath, carefully walked to the door of the small wooden cabin, picked up the bronze treasure chest, brought it back inside, and then securely bolted the door, reinforcing it with several thick logs.
Afterward, Ye Feng peered out through the gaps in the wooden cabin, carefully checking for any danger. Only when he was certain there was no threat did he sit on the ground and rest.
As soon as he sat down, Ye Feng was hit by a wave of intense hunger and fatigue.
It was no wonder. He had only eaten two coarse grain bread rolls and an apple at noon, with no oily food, and was already starving.
It was just that his mind had been so tense, completely preoccupied, that he hadn't felt the hunger...
Starving, Ye Feng immediately downed the remaining half bottle of sugar water and then unwrapped the braised eggs from the bronze treasure chest, placing them in the coarse grain bread and wolfing them down.
After a meal, Ye Feng was finally no longer so hungry, but he was still very tired.
Then, Ye Feng lay directly on the ground and opened the [World Channel] to read.
"Damn it, what kind of ghost place is this? I want to go home! There's no food, no drink here. I'm going to die!"
"I want to go home too!"
"Mom!"
"Wuwuwu~"
"........."
As soon as he opened the [World Channel], Ye Feng's eyes were met with all sorts of complaints, wails, and fearful messages.
"I think I'm having a nightmare. Tonight I'll walk out of the small wooden cabin, and the nightmare will end..."
"Brother, why aren't you talking anymore? Did you already walk out?"
"Handsome, are you still there?"
"Buddy, reply! Did you run out of发言次数?"
"Doesn't seem like it. I specifically counted. He only spoke 6 sentences in total..."
.........
Bi Yuntao: "Everyone, be careful! Especially the girls!"
Suddenly, a message caught Ye Feng's attention.
"What's going on? Why specifically mention the girls?"
Someone shared Ye Feng's confusion and immediately asked.
Bi Yuntao: "I went out exploring today and saw goblins!"
"Goblins? What are those?"
"Like the ones in cartoons?"
Bi Yuntao: "Yes, they look almost exactly the same, covered in green, generally short, with lewd faces, sharp teeth, and cruel dispositions..."
"Is that true? You're making it up, aren't you? Aren't those things fictional?"
"I think it's a lie too. Don't say it, I'm already scared enough~"
Bi Yuntao: "Why would I lie to you? Today I saw a girl being dragged into the forest by several goblins with my own eyes through a telescope... A man was torn to pieces right there..."
"Holy crap, that's terrifying?"
"Buddy, where did you get the telescope?"
Bi Yuntao: "I got it from opening a treasure chest!"
"If you saw it, why didn't you save the girl?"
Bi Yuntao: "I wanted to, but there was a huge canyon between us, over a thousand meters away, and there were so many goblins. I couldn't fight them!"
"Heh, too many scumbags!"
"?"
"?"
"?"
.........
"There are actually creatures like goblins?!"
Seeing the conversation in the [World Channel], Ye Feng's brow furrowed tightly.
He realized that the dangers in this "Afterglow" world were truly unpredictable. He wondered what that strange black shadow he encountered today was...
At this moment, Ye Feng's physical strength had recovered considerably.
He sat up straight, took out another coarse grain bread roll, and began to eat it slowly, while also roasting some sausage.
Soon, Ye Feng was enjoying the fragrant roasted sausage with bread.
While eating, Ye Feng browsed the [Shop] within the system. He quickly bought the Su Fei sanitary napkins that he couldn't afford this morning, saving himself 20 survival coins.
"Shua~"
With this sound, a pack of Su Fei sanitary napkins appeared in Ye Feng's inventory, and the luck value in the [Shop] changed from 9/50 to 10/50.
Immediately, Ye Feng opened the [Trading Channel] and listed the pack of Su Fei sanitary napkins and the flint.
"Dong dong~"
Just as Ye Feng was about to close the bracelet interface, a message notification sound came from the [Private Chat Channel]. It was from Ying, the person he had interacted with before.
"Hello, I want to buy your sanitary napkins, but I have no food left. I have a small telescope, is that okay?"
"Okay~"
Ye Feng did not hesitate and immediately reached a trade with the other party.
The next second, a monocular telescope appeared in Ye Feng's hand.
"By the way, System, you said when I first opened the bronze treasure chest today, I received an extra reward. What did 'first time' mean?"
With some free time, Ye Feng finally had the chance to ask the question that had been bothering him.
When the system's mechanical voice sounded, he had keenly caught the word "first time".
"For every different grade of treasure chest the host opens for the first time, an additional reward will be granted, excluding wooden treasure chests!"
The system's mechanical voice responded immediately.
"I see. It seems that the next time I can receive an additional reward will be when I open a black iron grade treasure chest at the earliest..."
Ye Feng quickly understood.
Then, already extremely exhausted, Ye Feng reconfirmed the safety of the small wooden cabin, lay down on the ground, and soon fell into a deep sleep.
.........
The next day,
It wasn't until the sun was high in the sky that Ye Feng opened his eyes.
He lay on the floor, stretched, and then opened the [Shop].
[Su Fei Sanitary Napkin x1, Survival Coins 20]
"What the heck, why is this thing always here!"
Ye Feng was quite speechless. So far, the [Shop] had refreshed three times, and the Su Fei sanitary napkins had appeared every time.
[Chubby Little Bread x4, Survival Coins 60]
[Kang Shuaifu Bucket Noodle x1, Survival Coins 20]
[Fire Axe x1, Survival Coins 30]
[Cold Protection Suit x1, Survival Coins 20]
"The food is starting to increase~"
Seeing the items in the inventory, Ye Feng was very happy.
Especially the sharp fire axe, Ye Feng was very fond of it, as that small stone axe was too unreliable.
Then, Ye Feng "shua shua shua~" bought everything in the [Shop] in one go, spending exactly 150 survival coins.
Although the weather was hot now, and he was sweating profusely in his short-sleeved t-shirt, the cold protection suit seemed useless.
But he didn't want to waste survival coins and wanted to accumulate luck value, so he bought it.
Afterward, Ye Feng washed up and prepared to have what was, for him, a luxurious breakfast since arriving in the "Afterglow" world: cooking instant noodles.
Of course, the small iron pot used to cook the instant noodles was something he had traded for with his flint in the [Trading Channel].
"Chī liū~ Chī liū~"
In less than ten minutes, Ye Feng was enjoying piping hot cooked instant noodles, with sausage added.
After breakfast, Ye Feng rested for a while, organized and inventoried his supplies, and planned to go out and explore again.
After all, he now had a monocular telescope, which would allow him to observe better.
Only by having a sufficient understanding of his current situation could he make his next plans!
"Beep, notification, the temperature in this area will drop sharply in seven days, with the lowest temperature reaching minus 5 degrees Celsius!"
Suddenly, the system's notification sounded.
