Chapter 188: Personal special random events
After moving around for a while, Lin Ye pulled the little snake from his neck and made eye contact with it.
"Hiss hiss."
The little snake swayed its tail and wrapped around Lin Ye's hand.
"Alright, don't screw me over tonight."
Lin Ye released the little snake and began examining the loot piled in the center of the shelter.
The five items were respectively: a black umbrella-shaped mushroom with white patterns, a dark red spike, a white bus ticket, a gray sealed metal canister, and a piece of metal fragment.
【Hallucinogenic Mushroom】
【After consumption, one can see realistic hallucinations】
【Note: The boundary between reality and illusion is not clearly defined】
As soon as Lin Ye picked up the hallucinogenic mushroom, he smelled a hospital disinfectant odor. Just by getting close, he felt as if he had returned to the past in his memories. "...Really dangerous."
Lin Ye put away the hallucinogenic mushroom. He didn't miss the past - someone else might have been reluctant to let it go.
【Sharp Spike】
【An excellent spiritual energy material that can be used to create spiritual energy items】
【Note: You can also directly use it to stab people】
The spike was about one centimeter in diameter and thirty centimeters long. Lin Ye gripped the spike and thrust it forward a few times - it felt quite comfortable to use.
After putting away the spike, Lin Ye picked up the bus ticket.
【Bus Ticket】
【Using this ticket on the road can summon a bus that moves between planes (1/1)】
【Note: Please do not use this ticket in dangerous planes】
The ticket depicted a bus stop with a white bus parked on the road outside the station.
"Not bad, might be useful later."
After storing the ticket properly, Lin Ye picked up the gray metal canister.
【Gray Matter】
【Artificially purified Gray World substrate with average purity. Can be inhaled. After consumption, there's an extremely low probability of awakening mental skills, and an extremely high probability of developing mental illnesses】
【Note: Only true madmen would need this thing】
"Another garbage item that seems useful but is actually completely unusable..."
Lin Ye sighed and placed the gray matter where it belonged.
【Relic Fragment】
【A relic fragment containing certain rule power. You can use it to create spiritual energy items, or extract the remaining rule fragments within】
【Note: Of course you can also swallow it, like its previous owner did】
The relic fragment was a metal block about the size of a fist. Lin Ye tried to sense its internal structure with mental energy, but his mental energy was blocked outside the fragment by some force.
"...This one's okay, can study it slowly."
Finally encountering a somewhat decent item, Lin Ye put away the metal block, then checked his new title through the system.
【Veteran Driver】
【You are already a qualified veteran driver, even without a driver's license】
【Note: Maybe you can try other vehicles. Actually, there's not much difference between buses and spaceships】
"...I'll try when I get the chance."
After organizing the loot, Lin Ye tended to the plants and animals for a while, played with the snake some more, then took the low-tier nutrient solution and rune cards to the game room.
The game room looked the same as always. Lin Ye directly used the Berserk rune card.
A massive amount of chaotic knowledge flooded into Lin Ye's brain. This rune card was somewhat special - Berserk was a mental state. Influenced by knowledge related to Berserk, Lin Ye entered a state approaching Berserk.
He forcibly suppressed this state, but still inevitably was affected by it.
So when performing spiritual energy circulation this time, Lin Ye directly played the card game with 100 red coins per hand.
As soon as he started absorbing spiritual energy, Lin Ye noticed some differences from before. The spiritual energy flowed through his body very smoothly, the strengthening speed was much faster, and his body's tolerance for spiritual energy had also increased.
After completing seven spiritual energy circulations, Lin Ye left the game room with 2900 red coins he had won.
'I actually don't feel uncomfortable - instead I'm in a pleasant mood.'
Lin Ye organized the knowledge in his mind. This was the easiest time he had used a rune card.
While organizing knowledge, Lin Ye also prepared dinner. The morning simulation task had consumed quite some time, and the nighttime activity was about to begin.
After preparing dinner, Lin Ye opened the group chat and started eating.
(527474/1000000)
"Maze Exploration, activate."
"Trash collecting, activate."
"Everyone eaten yet? (Food picture)"
"Ate, ate. (Food picture)"
"Buying second-tier mutation organs."
"Buy what? Just go kill a few monsters in the red maze and you'll get them."
"As expected of a big shot, your words carry such authority."
"Don't tell me there are still people who can't kill second-tier monsters?"
"Today I encountered Brother Lin in the game room. I have to say, the God of Gambling still has much to learn from Brother Lin."
"I encountered him too - 100 red coins per hand, ten consecutive wins."
"I was there too. At the time, Brother Lin was still absorbing spiritual energy to strengthen his body and didn't take the card game seriously at all."
"Impressive. This makes me feel a bit itchy to try too."
"Suggest not overthinking it. If you go, you might lose until you're left with only your underwear."
【Nighttime Activity Beginning】
【Tonight's Activity: Personal Special Random Event Activity】
【Join?】
"...Join."
【09:59】
"Wait! Why is my task not Maze Exploration, but some personal task? Damn it, didn't react in time, already joined..."
"Huh? Why am I getting Maze Exploration? Are you just making this up?"
"No, I'm not getting Maze Exploration either - it's Personal Special Random Event Activity."
"Me too. Have you all joined? I haven't joined yet."
"Holy crap, those with different tasks seem to be the big shots. What about Brother Lin?"
Lin Ye: I'm also getting Personal Special Random Event Activity. The system should be assigning tasks based on strength. I've already joined, but this is my first time participating in this activity too. Whether to join or not is your own decision.
"After joining, will we be together completing the task?"
"Probably not, right? Isn't it a personal activity? Shouldn't we all be separate?"
"I joined. The rewards from completing this kind of personal task must be quite good."
Yu Feng: ...Why am I getting a special task too?
"Ah? Big Shot Yu?"
"Didn't expect you to develop to this level even without a shelter. Really underestimated you before."
Yu Feng: No, I only have strong concealment abilities. I'm very weak in other aspects. Can this task be canceled? I accidentally joined...
"Really something else."
"No choice, it's the daily fresh air time after all."
"Probably can't cancel it. Good luck."
Yu Feng: I'm done for. Do any big shots have reliable spiritual energy items to sell me? I was thinking about going trash collecting and didn't prepare anything...
"Even big shots need to participate in personal tasks."
"I can sell you one cheap, but after you return, you need to go outside and take a look."
"Yeah, I can lend you a spiritual energy item too, as long as you're willing to explore the city."
Yu Feng: Okay, but I'll only go out once, and only to downstairs.
