There were three crates in total: one special supply crate and one gold supply crate, which were the rewards for clearing the Hell-level dungeon and for placing first in the region's Hell-level dungeon, respectively.
The last one was an old friend; it was the iridescent special equipment box that had previously yielded the Abyss Ring!
It was time for some new gear.
Cheng Shuili didn't rush to open the other two, choosing instead to open the colorful equipment box immediately!
【Verifying player eligibility...】
【Identity confirmed: Cheng Shuili】
【Special equipment box is opening.】
Cheng Shuili suddenly slammed the lid shut.
Cheng Shuili: "!"
She had forgotten something very important.
While these boxes never contained anything terrible, who wouldn't hope to pull something truly exceptional and useful?!
Cheng Shuili opened her group chat.
【Angry Crow Takes Flight】: @Liang Shanbo vs. Pig, rubbing off some good luck.
【Liang Shanbo vs. Pig】: ???
【New Snow Clearing】: ???
【Wanyi】: Boss? Is this really you?
After sending the message, Cheng Shuili closed the small group chat. She rubbed her hands together in excitement and reopened the box she had just forcibly closed!
Just like last time, the moment the equipment box fully opened, a pillar of light shot straight into the sky. Cheng Shuili, familiar with the drill, covered her eyes and peeked through the gaps between her fingers to see what was inside.
It was a... square tile?
A square tile?
Once the light finally faded, Cheng Shuili could clearly see what it was.
A square tile with strange patterns drawn on its surface.
She had made a wish with Liang Shanbo; surely it wouldn't be anything too bad?
How had she ended up acting as if Liang Shanbo were some lucky deity?
Cheng Shuili chuckled at herself. The reward had already been generated, and it certainly wasn't going to change into something else. She sighed and carefully pinched the tile from the bottom of the equipment box.
She hoped this item would give her a surprise just like the Abyss Ring did!
【Totem of Undying】
【Description: The greatness of the Totem of Undying is unique in the world! The greatness of the Totem of Undying is unique in the world! The greatness of the Totem of Undying is unique in the world! Believe in the great faith! Join the great evolution! Worship the great gods!】
Cheng Shuili jerked her head up, pulling her gaze away from the text.
The moment she read those lines, she actually felt a sudden, impulsive urge to shout them out loud!
Was this some kind of cult recruitment scene?
Frowning, she opened the item description again, and the text had actually changed.
【Totem of Undying】
【Description: You have seen through the falsehoods, and the Totem of Undying has rewarded you with three marks. After the player dies, one mark of the Totem of Undying will be deducted, and the player will be resurrected on the spot, retaining the memory of their death! If you are unlucky enough to die immediately after being resurrected in a trap, then... sorry about that~】
How cheeky.
If one were to keep dying in a trap and resurrecting, that wouldn't be a resurrection; that would be torture.
Cheng Shuili: "..."
Fine, three lives are still three lives.
She had gained three extra lives!
Thinking of it that way, the equipment seemed pretty good.
Cheng Shuili carefully examined the usage conditions. The item activated automatically. From the moment she obtained it, it would remain in effect regardless of where she kept it.
Furthermore... it didn't display who it was bound to, yet Cheng Shuili could clearly feel that it was already bound to her.
Cheng Shuili narrowed her eyes, her lips twitching as she tried to suppress a smile.
She liked the nature of this item!
It looked like it wasn't bound to a player, but it actually was bound to her! Since others couldn't tell, if she were to take this out to scam people for supplies...
The more she thought about it, the brighter her eyes shone. Who doesn't love getting something for nothing?
Especially for those who had offended her; if she suddenly pulled this move on them, wouldn't it be infuriating?
She was just enjoying the thought when a system window suddenly popped up.
【Totem of Undying (Untradeable)】
Cheng Shuili: "..."
Could this thing read minds?
【Friendly Reminder: All special equipment is bound upon acquisition. Unless the player dies, all equipment cannot be traded! Beware of player scams!】
The system had been summarizing the dungeon run when it suddenly glitched and inserted that line.
Regional Channel: "???"
Cheng Shuili likewise: "???"
That was a blatant targeted attack!!
"What's special equipment?"
"Scam? What kind of photo? What picture? Can I see your legs?"
"The guy above is a veteran creep."
"Let's not pry into the big boss's stuff."
Cheng Shuili closed the regional channel.
Fine, she wouldn't sell it then.
Cheng Shuili tucked the Totem of Undying into the Abyss Ring.
A space ring was useful, and the Totem of Undying was a lifesaver! Both were great items!
Cheng Shuili turned her attention to the remaining two trophies. The gold supply crate was a bit boring, so she was very interested in that special supply crate which had appeared for the first time!
It was called a special supply crate, and the colorful one was called a special equipment box; they seemed to be from the same source.
Whatever came out of this probably wouldn't be bad either, right?
Cheng Shuili flipped open the special supply crate. Contrary to her expectations, the supplies didn't appear at the bottom of the box. Instead, a window suddenly popped up in front of her.
【Please select the supply type】
【Safety Protection Supplies: Randomly obtain an item that ensures life safety! May include bulletproof vests, shields, etc.!】
【Practical Tech Supplies: Randomly obtain an appliance that fully embodies modern technology! May include televisions, routers, etc.!】
A router?
Cheng Shuili was genuinely stunned when she saw those words. What did that mean?
Could she connect to the internet in this Highway Survival Game world?
If she had a phone... could she go online?
Cheng Shuili: "???"
Could she look things up online? Did the system's functions still exist?
A flurry of questions raced through her mind, but she didn't want to rush the choice. She continued reading.
【Survival Consumption Supplies: Randomly obtain a consumable that maintains survival or improves quality of life! May include canned food, energy drinks, etc.!】
There were only these three options.
Cheng Shuili immediately ruled out the last one. She had a chef right by her side; every day she ate fresh meat and vegetables.
To her, eating canned food wasn't an improvement in quality of life; it was a sign of hitting rock bottom.
As for the remaining two options, Cheng Shuili was truly conflicted.
One was home appliances. Whether it was a television for entertainment or a mysterious router, Cheng Shuili wanted them.
Not to mention the washing machine she had been yearning for for so long.
Who could understand the sense of salvation one feels upon discovering a washing machine after hoarding a crate of dirty clothes?!
Cheng Shuili didn't quite understand yet, but she hoped to one day!
She definitely couldn't take off her polar cold-proof suit now, which meant she had to keep wearing dirty clothes until the extreme cold ended.
That was something Cheng Shuili absolutely could not tolerate.
