The parachute-tied box descended slowly and finally landed in an open space inside the wall.
Lin Yue held up the steel repeating crossbow, slowly approaching.
The parachute completely covered the large box, and there was no movement for a long time.
Lin Yue thought for a moment, then returned to the house and called Bai up.
"Pooji~" Bai squinted his eyes and still wanted to sleep, but was forcibly dragged to the yard by Lin Yue.
Lin Yue found that Bai had no reaction to the parachute.
No danger?
After all, it was strange not to be suspicious when something suddenly fell from the sky, but Lin Yue touched the parachute and quickly a prompt sounded.
[You received a Small Parachute X1]
The parachute disappeared, revealing the large box, which was about one cubic meter, before Lin Yue.
"Wooden box?" Lin Yue walked up and carefully looked, "Letâs identify it first..."
For safety, he spent 1 survival point for identification.
[Wooden Box]
Does it have to be so straightforward? I want to know whatâs inside.
Lin Yue mumbled, walking around the wooden box.
One side of the wooden box had a small lock, and he took out a fire axe, chopping the lock off directly.
With a clang, the entire box fell apart.
At the center, there appeared a treasure chest shining with golden light!
"Is this... a Golden Treasure Chest?"
"Pooji~~" Bai was dazzled by a golden light and let out a cry.
Squinting, Lin Yue walked over, surprised to see something like this.
[You received a Golden Treasure Chest]
Oh wow, it really is a Golden Treasure Chest!
Strange, why would such a thing be dropped from the sky?
Lin Yueâs head was full of questions, but he felt it might be related to the system.
After all, no one would give him such a big gift, and no one has that technology.
Before opening it, Lin Yue decided to check the group chat.
See if everyone has this kind of thing?
"Wow, Lin Yue is too strong, who is he? Second, third, fourth all have team shelters and canât beat him?"
"2195 points? Thatâs excessive, I only got 203 points. Where am I lacking compared to him..."
"Probably lacking in size?"
"Not to brag, but if you count it like that, I should be 3000 points!"
"I donât know if youâre bragging, but Iâm more concerned about the systemâs random supply drops. Feast or famine, isnât the system too biased?"
"The rewards for the second and third place should be less than Lin Yueâs. Their system didnât mention it; Lin Yueâs is a direct drop! By the way, I saw a black dot floating in the sky earlier. Is that the drop?"
"So, what are the supply drops? Wonât it be a large amount of rice, flour, and oil... Hoping Lin Yue leaks some when he sells things later. I havenât eaten rice in ages."
"I donât understand why you Tang Country folks need to eat rice. Isnât bread tasty?"
"Lin is terrifying, challenging many teams solo and leading by 500 points! Why wonât he live stream? I want to see how heâs scoring so much!"
"Indeed, these scores are absurd."
"Why hasnât he confirmed it yet? Havenât I given enough gasoline?"
"An earthquake is coming, and youâre chatting about this?"
"Donât you have quake-resistant buildings? Like an iron shelter?"
...
Closing the group chat, Lin Yue almost immediately opened the leaderboard, finally remembering what he had forgotten before.
The leaderboard, right.
After the last update, the system changed to announce the rankings the day before a disaster, with corresponding rewards for the top three.
1. Lin Yue 2195 points
2. Du Ping (et al.) 1425 points
3. Victor (et al.) 1005 points
4. Decrogen (et al.) 988 points
...
Lin Yue noticed that in the top ten, he was the only one without an (et al.) sign.
This "et al." was quite straightforward.
The others were in the team survival mode.
Like Du Ping, who never revealed he had other survivors around before, but this time he did, possibly for the so-called first-place supply drop "prize," or to knock Lin Yue from last timeâs first place, shared he had a team.
No matter what, team mode is undoubtedly an advanced, scientific way inevitable after reaching a certain stage in this survival game.
Or rather, itâs a more sophisticated, scientific method than solo survival.
Team mode allows for a large workforce to make survival easier with collective effort.
If healthy development continues, thereafter teams will grow larger, eventually forming a village-like existence, with hierarchical systems taking shape.
Then it would progress into towns, cities...
But reality is harsh; in general, lacking this and that, and with members being ordinary folks from society, the chances of healthy sustained development couldnât be lower.
Even if there was such persistence, Lin Yue didnât want to join or create anything like that.
For now, he had no such plan.
He didnât want to be restrained by others nor wanted to restrain others.
At this stage, he wanted to live simply and purely.
Closing the system panel, Lin Yue refocused on the Golden Treasure Chest.
He had learned the information he wanted, so now itâs time for the unboxing.
The Golden Treasure Chest...
[Prompt: The Golden Treasure Chest, as a prize, can be kept after opening without disappearing, please keep it safe]
Hmm? It comes with this?
Lin Yue was pleasantly surprised by the sudden system voice.
Previously every time he opened a treasure chest, they would disappear simultaneously, which was quite a shame.
Like those Copper and Silver Treasure Chests, if they could be dissected, wouldnât that be wonderful?
"Pooji~" Bai watched Lin Yue continually circle the dazzling chest, sincerely puzzled.
Bai returned inside the shelter, climbed onto the table, and nestled beside the big bowl of leftover from yesterday, savoring the taste of snail rice noodles.
"Pooji? Pooji!" Bai suddenly noticed a shriveled piece of sour bamboo shoot and hurriedly swallowed it.
Lin Yue had no idea Bai was hooked already; in front of the Golden Treasure Chest, he was in an excited state!
"What will come out? What will come out?"
Lin Yueâs heart raced; the quality of items from previous Silver Treasure Chests was already quite good.
Now what comes out of the Golden Treasure Chest must be even better!
"So..."
Open!
