Chapter 419 - Platinum Treasure Chest! A Terrifying Reward!

Chapter 419: Platinum Treasure Chest! A Terrifying Reward!

Translator: EndlessFantasy TranslationEditor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After a short delay, the number of unread messages had currently reached 36.

Like the reward for the Descent of the Heavenly Dog Pseudo God disaster previously, Su Mo sharply grasped the key points after briefly looking through the notifications prompts.

“Very good. Compared to the three types of rewards last time, there’s one additional type this time!”

White-marked notifications were ordinary notification messages, which could be viewed at his own convenience.

Blue-marked notifications represented rewards that needed to be selected, and these rewards were something all the players on the wasteland could receive.

‘There were four of these currently!

Moreover, green-marked notifications were rewards the game provided to an individual, meaning that the player had made an important contribution during this disaster.

There were also four of these!

As for the last type, which was the brand-new red-marked notification.

After scanning through the notifications, although Su Mo secretly felt something that was off, his hands did not slow down.

His mind focused slightly.

He opted not to read the red-marked notification first, but instead tapped on the top-most blue reward notification.

[Record]: It has been detected that the platinum-grade “Invasion of the Foreign Gods” disaster has been 100% completed. The game has begun issuing gold-grade disaster rewards.

[Record]: This disaster reward will be distributed to all players.

[Record]: Good day to the respected player “Su Mo”. Please choose this disaster’s welfare items to be distributed!

[Record]: Reward progress halted… An abnormal error has been detected.

[Record]: Good day to the respected player “Su Mo”. It has been detected that you have chosen to enter the reward selection panel. The game is processing.

[Record]: Player “Su Mo”, it has been detected that your game data contains some anomalies. The game will deliberately invoke the provisions of Section 35, Article 2 of the Reward Regulations and bring you into the reward space as required.

[Record]: During this process, your consciousness will be drawn over. The flow of time within the reward space is 1:100. Please ensure that you are in a safe environment before silently reciting ‘I choose to receive the reward’.

It was exactly like the last time, yet not at all!

Seeing his idea of “smuggling” come to nothing, Su Mo stilled. His thoughts scattered, and he dismissed the game panel along with it.

The worst-case scenario that he had expected had appeared!

‘When he had attacked the Heavenly Dog Pseudo God with the Dongfeng-17 missile previously, Su Mo had guessed that the game could detect data anomalies and send out warnings.

However, after that, whether it was because of the power of the system’s items or because the Dongfeng-17 missile had vanished without a trace after use, there had been no physical evidence.

‘The game had not issued any warning prompts at the time, and Su Mo had not lingered over it.

Later on, before the tsunami disaster struck, when no loopholes were found even after the investigation of the mysterious golden light, Su Mo had buried this matter inside his heart.

Until now.

‘The game was finally not acting deaf and dumb!

The vertical missile launcher that had fired the five missiles was now right there in the center of the Hope One, and had yet to be sealed off below deck.

Even the smoke and flames in the sky had not dissipated yet!

‘The game had detected an abnormality, but also did not fully detect it, so it could only send out a few warning prompts regarding data anomalies and change the reward retrieval method so that he had to enter a separate space to retrieve them.

“Ican’t rush this. If I’m tricked into entering that space, what would be waiting for me may not be a reward but… an interrogation like the golden light last time!”

“The survival points from the system have all been used up. If I go in rashly and encounter something like that, it’d be troublesome if I didn’t have any survival points to use.”

“Tl wait till eight o’clock when my survival points will be replenished, and then I’ll attempt it!”

To ordinary survivors, the game’s rewards were indeed “life-saving” and “miraculous”; good stuff that could transform their living situations on the wasteland.

However, nobody—including the game—knew that the system was his ace in the hole!

It was the ultimate weapon that he could use to master this world in the future!

On the surface, this was a game that even a pseudo god had no way of dealing with.

‘If you want to interrogate me, then you’ll first have to fight the system that can kill gods at will!”

Huffing coldly in his head, and having gone through many trials, these eye-catching warning prompts did not mentally affect him. Su Mo readjusted his mood within just a few seconds.

It was to the point that, when he saw Su Chan running over, his face immediately revealed a warm smile.

‘I want to take the reward, and I want to head to the New World too!”

‘Now that I’ve picked up my sister, this side of the world no longer has any constraints on me!”

‘Wait for it. Someday, I’ll properly interrogate the likes of a lifeless bastard like you!”

Picking up Su Chan and seeing her guileless innocent smile, Su Mo’s mind started looking forward to life in the future!

How one was like was how one would do things.

Su Mo was not someone who chased after intangible things. He had always been clear-cut and resolute.

He did not overly indulge himself in any type of emotion, no matter whether it was love, friendship, or even.

Family.

This was not betrayal.

On the contrary, he was loyal to his feelings. He knew what he needed, the responsibilities he had to bear and the boundaries he had to set.

Family was his harbor. It was a resting place where he could relax if he was tired, before setting off once again to fight fate!

It was not heaven. Once the line was crossed, it was easy for him to be attacked and manipulated.

Hence, the excitement and joy of reuniting with his sibling was only temporary, reverting soon after to their familiar familial relationship similar to when they were back on Earth.

Everything returned to that plain and familiar blissfulness.

“Bro, Shelter Leader Lu is looking for you. Hurry up and get to it. When Mom and Dad come, our family will never be apart agait

“Okay, when I finish dealing with all the stuff here, I’ll personally make a feast for you!”

“Uh-huh!”

In the area where the Tundra fleet was located, they recorded a death toll of more than 200 thousand foreign races in one day.

Even if the drop rate today had fallen far below that of when everyone had first arrived at the wasteland—nor could it even be compared to the drop rate when Su Mo had opened fire and killed the twenty thousand foreign races earlier—the spoils obtained from killing these 200 thousand foreign races

were still frightening enough to numb the scalps of anyone who saw the data!

5.45 pm on the wasteland.

The treasure chests floating on the ocean had all been collected and placed on the raft ferry in a prearranged manner.

Nobody stole nor coveted them. Aside from many people throwing them envious and worshipful gazes, nobody fought over who owned the treasure chests.

The law of the wasteland was that it belonged to whoever made the kill!

Almighty Su had killed every single one so, naturally, the treasure chests should all be his too!

Zhang Long said, “Almighty Su, we’ve pretty much totaled up everything we’ve collected from this battle. We’re now doing the finishing touches. It’s just a pity that the drop rate keeps getting lower and lower, or the number of treasure chests would be two or three times more.”

Sitting in front of Hope One’s meeting room table, Zhang Long quickly flipped through the little notebook in his hands, calculating the numbers again as he reported the information steadily.

Beside him, there were seven captains who were responsible for counting the spoils this time.

According to previous practice, the treasurer, Shen Ke, would also be part of this group.

However, after considering the trauma she went through at the hands of Ying Tianlong earlier, Lu Yongyi had given Shen Ke time off after some discussion.

Uh-huh

Duration: 3 days!

Vacation place: Hope One’s luxurious cabins!

Su Mo could pretty much guess the intention behind Lu Yongyi’s hidden thoughts but, after thinking about it, he did not reject it either.

‘The Hope One had additional properties that increased its comfort level, and was indeed a good place for her to take a much-needed vacation.

Lu Yongyi wanted to deepen Su Mo’s ties with him. For an honest person like him, it was really not easy to come up with this method.

Amoment later, when the clock struck six o’clock, the calculation was finally finished.

Clearing his throat, Zhang Long picked up all the books in the captains’ hands. He stood up from his seat and started reporting the data.

“Month 3 Day 8 to Day 9. A summary of the battle!”

“This time, we killed a total of over 210 thousand foreign races. Among them were over 98,000 foreign terrestrial races and 120,000 foreign marine races. At present, the number of foreign races with complete corpses is 35800, and the number of foreign races with incomplete corpses is 65600.”

“Among those foreign race corpses, we’ve discarded more than 19,600 humanoid corpses and will not use them as materials.”

“As for the remaining non-humanoid foreign race corpses, there are 3000 that can be used as materials to create weapons, 8600 that can be used as materials for armor, 27,000 that can be used to make tools, and a total of 15 that can be recycled and used as is.”

“As for the treasure chests obtained, the 210 thousand foreign races dropped 7100 chests.”

“Platinum treasure chests: 1?

“Gold treasure chests: 89”

“Silver treasure chests: 675”

“Bronze treasure chests: 1784?

“Iron treasure chests: 1781?

“Wooden treasure chests: 2770.”

With a close to 3.5% drop rate, it was indeed abysmal compared to past instances but, given the base numbers, it was not too hard to accept.

The close to 3000 wooden treasure chests would contain stuff that many survivors needed to satisfy some basic survival needs.

‘The more than 3500 iron and bronze treasure chests could yield relatively scarce survival supplies and resources, which would be of great help for the following relocation efforts.

From the 600 silver treasure chests, many special tools and weapons could be obtained, which would greatly enrich the fleet’s combat capabilities.

From the remaining close to a hundred gold treasure chests, as well as the sole platinum chest.

To a certain extent, the benefits to the survivors would not be as extreme as one imagined.

Many of the items that could be obtained from these chests would require a sufficient level of strength to use.

Like the foreigner who had found the rare-grade Destroyer blueprint in a treasure chest—to him, this design blueprint was just a scrap of paper which was not at all useful.

Even if he knew that the ocean disaster was coming, he would not have been able to construct the warship based on the blueprint.

On the contrary, when Su Mo arrived, the special tools and food supplies provided in return had greatly aided him, helping him through the most difficult period, and he had now developed rather well in the Regional Channel.

In the present, seeing Zhang Long’s mouth open slightly, yet not saying anything, Su Mo smiled.

“Let’s do this then. Zhang Long, you don’t have to calculate my share. The annihilation of so many enemies during this battle was not just due to my efforts. You all, including the ones sacrificed themselves for the fleet—all of them contributed. If you really want to calculate things this way, it won’t be fair

to the humans who sacrificed themselves.”

Zhang Long nodded. “Almighty Su, I’m aware of this. Shelter Leader Lu instructed me previously, and my brothers also said…”

$u Mo interrupted him. “Stop. What Lu Yongyi said is irrelevant, and so is whatever all of you who are still alive are saying, Do as I say later. I’ll take the platinum and gold chests. None of you have any objections, right?”

Everyone shook their heads fervently, then nodded enthusiastically in agreement.

“Okay. From the remaining chests, I’ll take 200 silver chests and 500 bronze chests. I don’t need the wooden chests. Use the extra chests from my share as reparations to those who died in battle, but still have surviving families. Tell them to live well. Just take it as something I did for the fleet…”

All the ship captains were shocked. “Ah, this, Almighty Su, this we…”

$u Mo shook his head and once again interrupted. “What I say goes here, so do it!”

Having contributed the most and taken the lion’s share of the reward, Su Mo was not a greedy vampire.

The benefits that wooden chests could bring him were now negligible.

Even the bronze and silver chests he took were because he thought of the villagers waiting to be fed back on Iron Rock Mountain.

If he really wanted to calculate their value, then, among these chests, one platinum one was worth.

10 thousand iron chests!
