What is despair?
This is it, right before your eyes!
A copper treasure chest, yet Chen Yu smelled fruit.
Did you think it was just fruit?
No!
This was obtained with Chen Yu’s life.
Good heavens.
He had just boasted, saying he’d take a fruit chest or an orchard house, just one of them.
The lucky set really delivered!
Everything was arranged.
One word, amazing!
Chen Yu’s sudden strong reaction to the chest left Hei Dou and the others bewildered.
“What’s going on?”
What a great treasure chest.
Why such resistance? Did this chest contain biological weapons?
“This chest, should we throw it away?” Hei Dou blinked, looking at the copper chest before him. “What a shame to throw away such a good treasure chest.”
Kuka also stared at the chest, circling it again and again.
“No problem with it.”
Bang bang!
Two large bags hit Hei Dou and Kuka on the head.
They immediately quieted down.
Chen Yu couldn’t say a single word at this moment, gazing at the chest before him for a long time without making a sound.
What to do?
After a moment of thought, Chen Yu tossed the chest into the warehouse.
He didn’t open it.
He wasn’t ready for the cost to be deducted.
Even though it had reached the cash-on-delivery stage, Chen Yu simply refused to accept it.
As long as he didn’t open the box, his lifespan wouldn’t be taken from him.
The problem was—
The orchard before him was indeed here.
“Kuka.”
Chen Yu murmured, and the head-clutching Kuka scurried over.
“Boss.”
“Young man, your life seems quite resilient.” Chen Yu raised his hand, patting Kuka’s hand, and drew a circle with his sword. “Stand inside this circle.”
Kuka: (˘•w•˘)
This…
What is he doing now?
Kuka dared not refuse and walked into the circle Chen Yu had drawn.
Standing outside the circle, Chen Yu, from who knows where, produced a pile of torn rolls of paper and scattered them into the air. Holding the Adventure Gale Sword, he walked in strange steps, murmuring incantations as he circled Kuka.
Kuka, standing in the circle, felt something was off.
This scene, he seemed to have seen it before.
The sorcerers in the city-states performing rituals looked very much like this.
What kind of curse was the boss casting on him?
He hadn’t done anything wrong!
Kuka instantly panicked, trembling in the circle, his beady eyes nervously watching Chen Yu wielding his sword.
Suddenly—
Chen Yu’s sword pointed sharply at the ground, and a stone bowl appeared. Chen Yu, holding a bucket of Ice Pure Spring Water, filled it with a large bowl.
“Drink!”
His piercing gaze stunned Kuka.
He stared at the water in the bowl and could smell the Ice Pure Spring Water.
Gulp. kanδん
Although it felt ominous, he couldn’t control himself.
This was Ice Pure Spring Water!
Chen Yu had found his weakness.
Swish!
Another piece of cheese appeared in Chen Yu’s hand.
“Drink!” Chen Yu, pointing at the water in the stone bowl, waved the cheese in his hand. “Drink this water for me, and this cheese is yours. Cheese, fragrant cheese…”
Chen Yu, with his voice lowered, acted like a devil, tempting Kuka in the circle.
“Freshly baked, exquisite cheese made from scale milk. If you drink this bowl of water, I’ll give you two. Kuka, you need to think carefully.”
“Two cheeses, one bowl of Ice Pure Spring Water.”
“These are things you desperately need. This is my promotion for you, are you sure…”
Gulp gulp.
Before Chen Yu could finish speaking, Kuka picked up the bowl and gulped it down. He wiped his mouth.
“Done!”
Does it matter if it’s ominous or not?
For a piece of cheese, he wouldn’t hesitate to risk his life, let alone two.
“Good, brave one, you truly don’t disappoint.” Chen Yu patted Kuka’s shoulders heavily, placing the two pieces of cheese into his hands. “They belong to you.”
Kuka, clutching the cheese, was so moved he teared up.
“Thank you, boss! I will definitely work harder to create benefits for the company in the future, living up to your nurturing and your great expectations.”
Chen Yu nodded solemnly and patted Kuka’s shoulder.
“Go in!”
“Huh?” Kuka blinked, tilting his head. “I… I go in first? Boss, my combat ability isn’t very good. If I go in and…”
“It’s safe inside. Just go in.”
“I, I, I…”
“Hurry up and go in!” Chen Yu, with a pleasant expression, suddenly widened his eyes, scaring Kuka into a shiver. Then, with a *duang*, Chen Yu kicked him inside.
All set!
The medium was established.
Deducting lifespan?
Chen Yu directly performed a reversal of fate.
When he lived with his grandmother, he learned some shamanistic dances. He didn’t know if they were useful.
This was purely for psychological comfort.
“Enter the dungeon.”
Chen Yu waved his hand, and they all stepped into the illuminated circle.
The light flickered.
What greeted their eyes was an orchard. wΑp.kanshu伍.net
This was also Chen Yu’s final invitation to the dungeon. He found a decent spot, planted his camp, and began harvesting the fruits.
[Dungeon Reminder: Dungeon Apple +1]
[Ding: Glutton’s Greed triggered, 50x food critical strike]
[Greed Critical Strike: Dungeon Apple +50]
This is great!
Deducting lifespan truly made a difference.
The multiplier was stable at 50.
Picking an apple meant the flow of life.
Kuka, I’m sorry.
I really can’t control my hands!
[Greed Critical Strike: Dungeon Apple +50]
[Greed Critical Strike: Dungeon Apple +50]
…
Chen Yu spent about ten minutes to harvest the entire orchard. In fact, he didn’t pick that many, just 76 apples.
With a stable critical strike multiplier of 50x, he obtained 3800 apples.
This was all his life.
Seventy-six consecutive Greed Critical Strikes at 50x, wasn’t that enough to prove the point?
Recharge successful.
Purchase successful.
He watched Kuka, who was still *bang bang banging* and pushing out earthworms in the courtyard.
Look at this employee, how resilient his life is.
Even after all that, he wasn’t sent away. Truly a good employee for the company.
Since his life was so resilient.
Chen Yu directly took out the copper chest.
Chen Yu: (｀∀´)Ψ
Since so much had already been deducted, this little bit wouldn’t matter.
Right!
It should be fine, right?
Chen Yu smiled like a little devil. Kuka, who was hammering the earthworms, suddenly felt a cold breeze blow across the back of his neck.
Open the chest!
[Dungeon Reminder: Copper Block +6]
[Dungeon Reminder: Water Element Crystal Shard +2]
[Dungeon Reminder: Milk Strawberry +80]
[Ding: Glutton’s Greed triggered, 50x food critical strike]
Chen Yu: Heh heh heh heh—
These were all attributed to Kuka, and had nothing to do with him.
It was just too much.
Chen Yu’s food had piled up to the point where it couldn’t be stored. He urgently needed storage space, like Ilya’s bracelet, to store food.
Especially strawberries, which couldn’t be kept for long at all.
Swish!
Just as Chen Yu was contemplating how to solve the current problem, a dark shadow suddenly darted in front of Chen Yu, his expression grave.
“Big brother, there’s something going on!”
