Chapter 28 Waiting for a Duck to Run into a Tree Stump



"Huh?" Xi Xi looked down at the duck in her hand with some confusion. She fiddled with it and found that the duck was very dry, with clean and white feathers. There was no burnt smell from the electric shock, and even its webbed feet showed no signs of injury.

[Game Hint: A white duck that has fainted from fright.]

"..." Fine, others wait for a rabbit to run into a tree stump, she waits for a duck to run into a tree stump.

"Then let's have roast duck tonight," Xi Xi decided happily.

She put on the baseball cap she had acquired in the transaction and stuffed all her handbag and other belongings into her large hiking backpack.

Afterwards, Xi Xi tied the unconscious white duck to the water bottle pocket on the side of her backpack. She thought for a moment and decided to stuff the crystal treasure chest into a sack and drag it back. She looked at it again and again, but finally couldn't resist her curiosity and quietly opened the treasure chest.

[Successfully obtained a Superior Treasure Chest*1. Congratulations, adventurer, for gaining 50 Survival Points.]

[Successfully obtained Legendary quality item *1. Congratulations, adventurer, you have gained 500 Survival Points.]

"Holy crap, a top-tier treasure chest? Legendary quality?!" Xi Xi was genuinely shocked. 50 survival points, more than double the 20 survival points she got from opening the intermediate stone treasure chest yesterday.

Xi Xi felt like she had skipped a level. This dungeon seemed too difficult for a player on the second day of the newbie protection period.

She carefully took out the legendary quality Yuhua stone and placed it in her palm, examining it closely for a while. The lake-blue stone was not large, and its surface was as smooth as a mirror, yet under the light, it displayed a subtle texture, like the delicate ripples left by a light rain brushing across a lake, beautiful and understated.

[Item Description: A cultural relic with a group effect. A Yuhua stone ornament. When bound, the binder and all members of their party will gain .]

[Do you want to bind this to ?]

"Yes..." Xi Xi replied somewhat blankly. She hadn't quite figured it out yet, but anyway, it was a legendary quality item, so she might as well bind it.

Even so, Xi Xi still understood the implied meaning of the item's message—it turned out that the game also had a team system.

[Binding...]

[Binding is now active! Note: Binding will automatically unbind upon player death.]

When Xi Xi opened her personal interface, she saw that she had indeed gained 6 more points in the Agility category. In addition, a new message appeared below her personal abilities.

Cultural Heritage

Rain-flower stones left behind by Jingwei filling the sea in the Celestial Empire

...

Xi Xi looked at her personal profile thoughtfully, feeling that wasn't such a great bonus, so why was it presented so formally in a new profile?

She had naturally heard the myth of Jingwei filling the sea, but what did "cultural heritage" mean...? Xi Xi had a premonition that this legendary item was not as simple as it seemed.

She put the pebbles into her pocket, and then took out a lightweight skateboard from the treasure chest.

The skateboard shimmered with a silver-gray sheen and was covered with intricate blue-gray patterns, as if it had been meticulously polished; it was exquisitely beautiful.

[Item Description: A thin plate. Can be used on snow, sand, and water. Its material and shape will automatically change depending on the terrain.]

"So you can go sandboarding?" Xi Xi exclaimed in slight surprise. Although she had never sandboarded before, she felt that it should be similar to skiing.

In the dead of winter in her previous life, she had once acquired a ski by chance. Whenever she searched for supplies alone, she would carry the ski and traverse the slopes to evade the pursuit of local thugs and robbers. Over time, she became much more skilled at it.

What kind of magical structure allows it to automatically change its material and shape depending on the terrain? Wouldn't it be able to be used as a surfboard when it's by the water? Xi Xi immediately thought the board was extremely practical. She stroked the board with satisfaction and carefully placed it on the sand.

With that thought in mind, Xi Xi reached into the treasure chest again and felt her fingertips touch a thin piece of paper. With a gentle pull, she took out the .

This was the first time Xi Xi had managed to open a talisman from a treasure chest through sheer luck, and she couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.

Unable to contain her curiosity, she eagerly picked up the talisman and began to carefully examine the game item description.

Just as she imagined, the is, as the name suggests, a charm that can expand the interior space of a vehicle.

Xi Xi was initially worried that the talisman might not work because they were in such a remote place.

But with a try-it-out mentality, she silently recited the activation command. Unexpectedly, the talisman was still able to pinpoint the vehicle's exact coordinates. The talisman twitched slightly, as if it had come to life, and slowly broke free from her palm.

It hovered erratically in the air for a few moments before abruptly changing direction and speeding away into the distance. Watching the talisman disappear into the distance, Xi Xi was initially stunned, then quickly closed the treasure chest and stuffed it into a sack.
