Chapter 1 Aftermath

After putting away his homestead, Lin En walked around the cavern, and, finding nothing else, prepared to leave.

After asking the Stone Walls, Lin En headed toward the East Stone Wall. Although the East Stone Wall wasn't the best option, the best one was above, and he couldn't reach it. He wondered when he would find the ability to fly.

[System: Stone * 10]

Upon entering, Lin En walked towards the southwest, as the treasure chest was in that direction.

This cavern wasn't large, but it did have scattered patches of grass and trees.

Soon, Lin En saw the treasure chest, two-thirds hidden by weeds. Judging by its color, it was a bronze chest.

"Oh ho, a large treasure chest! This time I can get three to four items." Someone on the [Chat] channel had already compiled statistics.

Small treasure chests yielded one to two items, medium chests two to three, large chests three to four, and giant chests four to five. As for special treasure chests, nobody knew. Perhaps someone had opened one, but they wouldn't be foolish enough to reveal it.

He opened the treasure chest directly.

Lin En was about to check the materials needed for the dew condenser when he heard a voice.

"Hey, kid over there, what are you doing?"

"Long-ge, there's a treasure chest, but it looks like it's already been opened."

"Kid, hand over what you got from the treasure chest."

Lin En turned around to look at the two people. One was a burly man, the other a skinny one. He slowly said, "Oh, really? What can you do to me if I don't hand it over?"

The skinny man said, "Yo, this kid's pretty arrogant, Long-ge, show him who's boss."

Long-ge took out a cleaver from his backpack and said menacingly to Lin En, "Kid, I told you to hand it over earlier, but you didn't. Now, you're not just giving me the stuff from the treasure chest, but everything in your backpack too."

Lin En looked at Long-ge holding a broken knife. He originally intended to take out the Mist Bow, but after thinking about it, a gun would be more intimidating to these kinds of people.

Clang.

Click. Lin En pointed a shotgun at Long-ge and said, "Long-ge, right? You dropped your knife."

Bang. Long-ge immediately knelt down. "Big brother, grandpa, I have an old mother and a young family~~"

"Stop," Lin En said, looking at Long-ge kneeling on the ground, "Hand over everything you have, or I'll treat you to a bullet."

Long-ge: "No, no, I'll hand it over, I'll hand it over."

After saying that, he started taking things out of his backpack, one by one. He had quite a lot of stuff.

Kneeling on the ground, Long-ge didn't dare to raise his head and said, "Um, grandpa, can I leave now?"

Lin En: "Yes, you can leave."

Just as he finished speaking, he saw the skinny man who had fainted to the side. He said to Long-ge again, "Wait."

Long-ge, who had just gotten up, immediately knelt down again, took out a scroll, placed it on the ground, and cried out, "I really don't have anything else, I really don't, please don't shoot!"

.....

Speechlessly looking at Long-ge, he shouted, "Take this skinny guy and get lost!"

Watching Long-ge drag the skinny man away, Lin En ignored them and collected all the items on the ground.

He stored everything away first. Lin En planned to use up his excavation attempts for today before taking a look at them. He opened the system panel and saw that he had one last attempt. After closing the system panel, he prepared to find a better cavern to rest.

After wandering around, he saw Long-ge and the skinny man digging at the Stone Wall to the east. Lin En noticed that the two of them were digging much faster than one person. They finished digging in just over ten minutes.

After they went in, Lin En waited for ten minutes before finally seeing how the cavern Stone Wall recovered. It looked like it was growing flesh. After the Stone Wall filled in the opening, there wasn't a trace left.

Curious, Lin En walked over and touched the Stone Wall, then asked, "Stone Wall, are the two people who just went through behind you?"

East Stone Wall: "No."

Sure enough, although he didn't know if it was his side that had moved, or their side that had moved, there really wasn't a trace left. There wasn't even a vibration.

"Forget it, there's no point in thinking about it so much now."

Rubbing his temples, Lin En asked the Stone Walls, "What's behind all of you?"

East Stone Wall: "It's been raining non-stop behind me. The cavern is half a meter deep in water."

"Damn, that was close."

South Stone Wall: "Behind me is the Meteorite Cavern, o(*￣︶￣*)o"

West Stone Wall: "Wow, has it leveled up? Are there many meteorites?"

South Stone Wall: "o(╥﹏╥)o Not that many."

East Stone Wall: "Take it slow, it will eventually fill up."

West Stone Wall: "I want a Meteorite Cavern too. Why is there a seaside behind me?"

Upper Stone Wall: "The Meteorite Cavern is the most useless to me."

Lower Stone Wall: "Hehe, you think it's good to be at the bottom?"

Lower Stone Wall: "If it's a big meteor, it could smash through you."

Upper Stone Wall: "Here, I'm on top. Behind me, I'm still on the bottom?"

Lower Stone Wall: "......"

North Stone Wall: "Sleeping zzzzzz"

Lin En: "You guys can level up? What changes after leveling up?"

East Stone Wall: "Harder."

South Stone Wall: "Thicker."

West Stone Wall: "Hard and thick and big."

Upper Stone Wall: "That's right."

Lower Stone Wall: "Correct."

North Stone Wall: "Sleeping zzzzzz"

Hehe, what kind of answers are these? No longer listening to the Stone Walls' chatter, Lin En went directly to the West Stone Wall. The seaside behind it was a good place to go.

Ding~ ding~ ding~

[System: Stone * 10]

Wow, he didn't expect the seaside to be so big! And there were no Stone Walls on the other side of the sea??

After arriving at the seaside, he saw large crabs running all over the beach. Looking at the plump, delicious-looking crabs, Lin En materialized his homestead wooden house and started catching crabs.

He caught a large crab and was about to put it into his backpack, but discovered that he couldn't. Could it be that the backpack couldn't hold living things?
