Treasure Chest!
Pure jet black.
An Obsidian Treasure Chest.
The moment Chen Yu saw the treasure chest, he immediately forgot about whether to recruit the kobolds or not.
This was an obsidian-grade treasure chest.
The resources inside were a given.
Most importantly—
Decomposing the chest would yield him the obsidian he needed most.
"Little Demon."
Chen Yu called out softly as he ran to the treasure chest.
"Hey, you really treat me like a black slave!" The little demon Barbara huffed, waving her trident, but she still flew to the treasure chest and twitched her little nose.
A classic case of saying one thing and doing another.
"Mmm!"
The little demon, after sniffing for a while, let out a gasp.
"This contains biological weapons, get down."
Chen Yu didn't doubt her.
He immediately dropped to the ground, and Hei Dou followed suit.
About half a minute passed.
Hei Dou tilted its head and mumbled.
"Boss, why did we have to get down when we didn't even open the chest? And I didn't sense any poisonous gas inside! I'm a resource-type spiritual pet, my nose works great."
"Hehehe—"
A stifled laugh suddenly came from behind him.
Chen Yu turned his head and saw the little demon covering her small mouth, laughing uncontrollably as if she had seen something incredibly funny.
〖You actually believed her〗
〖She was just messing with you〗
A reminder from the Gluttony Soul appeared.
Chen Yu, still lying on the ground, gritted his teeth, reached back, and grabbed the little demon. He poked her face with two fingers, puckering her small mouth.
"Little one, you dare to trick me again!"
"Impudent, you damned servant… mmph…" The little demon tightly gripped her trident, muttering angrily, "How dare you disrespect the great Demon King Barbara, I'll throw you into a pot of oil!"
"Go back to your wristband."
Chen Yu flicked his finger, and with a 'dong', it hit the little demon's bottom.
The little demon shot up as if equipped with two rocket boosters, flying off with a 'whoosh' and diving into the wristband.
【ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ Servant】
【How dare you touch the great Demon King Barbara's curvaceous backside, I'll chop off your stinking hands】
"Curvaceous backside?"
Chen Yu blinked, looked at his fingers, and savored the feeling from just now.
"She's so flat though."
【ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ Who are you calling flat!!!】
〖It's you, your front and back have the same curvature. If you slide your hand down, you can't feel any bumps, not even those two points〗
【You're talking nonsense!】
【I… I do have a little bit】
〖You're proud of that tiny arc? Tsk tsk tsk, so easily satisfied?〗
【Better than you, big milk cow. If you don't support one arm, it'll droop. You wobble when you walk, it's so ugly】
〖Jealous?〗
【I'm not jealous, stop dreaming】
〖You're envious〗
【ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ I'm not envious or jealous, hey, I've solidified my form, what about you】
〖Heh~〗
【You're angry, you're angry】
〖How old are you?〗
〖No wonder you have no curves, you must not be an adult yet〗
【ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ】
Chen Yu realized that the Gluttony Soul always managed to infuriate the little demon from the Cave Reminder into a furious outburst and then disappear quietly, having completed its mission.
Or rather, this little demon really had a short temper.
Easily ignited and explosive.
She was always huffing and puffing, and within a few words, she would be brandishing her little trident and poking at people.
No wonder she had no curves!
According to scientific research, those with smaller chest curves tend to have more volatile tempers than those with larger ones.
【ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ I'm not small!!!】
See!
She was still yelling.
Chen Yu could imagine the scene if the little demon were outside now, poking his back of the head with her trident.
He glanced at the Obsidian Treasure Chest.
Ever since arriving in the cave, the little demon had already been a girl with mischievous tastes.
Her explanations were all deliberate pranks.
This time, there was probably nothing dangerous in the chest. The Gluttony Soul had confirmed earlier that what the little demon said was false.
Open chest.
【Cave Reminder: Obsidian Treasure Chest +1】
Decompose.
【Cave Reminder: Obsidian +6】
Good!
Chen Yu clenched his fist tightly.
6 units of obsidian.
It was enough for him to craft a High-level Refrigerator.
【High-level Refrigerator: Copper Block 647/40, Gold Block 147/20, Obsidian 6/5, Earth Elemental Crystal Shard 124/5, Water Elemental Crystal Shard 91/10, Fire Elemental Crystal Shard 111/1】
Chen Yu did not choose to craft it.
He thought he had seen a blueprint while decomposing the chest earlier.
If the blueprint he found required obsidian as a material and had a higher priority for Chen Yu, it would make things very difficult for him.
【Cave Reminder: Wind Elemental Crystal +1】
The Obsidian Treasure Chest was indeed extraordinary.
It directly yielded a complete elemental crystal.
Holding it in his hand, he could feel a clear airflow surging. The crystal was rhomboid in shape and could be held in one hand.
After storing the crystal.
Chen Yu saw two very familiar small crystals on the ground.
【Cave Reminder: Efficient Learning (Volume Two)】
【Cave Reminder: Rapid Crafting (Volume Two)】
Whoa!
It was actually Efficient Learning and Rapid Crafting.
Volume Two.
Could this be an upgraded version?
Chen Yu quickly shone his wristband on them.
【Efficient Learning (Volume Two): Shortens learning and leveling time, 12 hours】
【Rapid Crafting (Volume Two): Shortens crafting time by 12 hours】
12 hours.
Seeing this number, Chen Yu felt suffocated.
With these,
Chen Yu alone would save a massive amount of time compared to others in the cave for leveling and crafting.
Volume One was still 3 hours.
Volume Two had increased it by four times.
"Learn!"
【Cave Reminder: Efficient Learning (Volume Two) has been learned】
【Cave Reminder: Rapid Crafting (Volume Two) has been learned】
【Cave Reminder: Camp Warehouse upgrade complete】
【Cave Reminder: Camp Bed upgrade complete】
【Cave Reminder: Camp Stove upgrade complete】
【Cave Reminder: Area 2 expansion complete】
…
Messages in his personal page scrolled by instantly.
The warehouse, bed, and stove that were undergoing upgrades were instantly completed due to the learning of Efficient Learning (Volume Two).
Resources in the courtyard were stored in the warehouse.
The expanded sub-camp also made Chen Yu's current camp area more than double in size.
"Now I've got work to do."
Chen Yu muttered, glancing at the drying area, where there were still a few empty camp spots.
Resources could also be sold again.
The expansion of sub-camps required a massive amount of elemental crystals. With seven camps expanding together, the resources needed were unimaginable.
He took a deep breath.
Chen Yu suppressed the excitement in his heart. He remembered there was a blueprint in the Obsidian Treasure Chest from earlier. He needed to be organized. Even though he was eager to upgrade his camp buildings now,
He still had to collect all the resources from the Obsidian Treasure Chest.
Lowering his gaze.
At Chen Yu's feet, a blueprint lay on the ground.
He reached out and picked up the blueprint.
Instantly, Chen Yu's eyes widened, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.
