Chapter 5 - 5

The moment Lin Bei opened the two supply treasure chests, two critical hit notifications rang in his ears.

In a flash of light, the treasure chests in front of Lin Bei slowly disappeared.

The ground before him was covered with a pile of supplies.

"Notification: You have obtained Toilet Paper Blueprint (excellent) x20!"

"Notification: You have obtained primal stone x20!"

"Notification: You have obtained hardwood x40!"

"Notification: You have obtained wood x400!"

These were the resources obtained from an excellent quality supply treasure chest.

"Notification: You have obtained automatic grill (Fine) x10!"

"Notification: You have obtained windproof lighter (Fine) x10!"

"Notification: You have obtained invigorating cigarettes (Fine) x200!"

"Notification: You have obtained primal stone x20!"

"Notification: You have obtained Pig Iron x50!"

These were the resources obtained from a Fine supply treasure chest.

Looking at the flashing notifications before him, Lin Bei was already ecstatic.

Although it was a pity that opening the treasure chests didn't trigger a quality critical hit, the quantity critical hit was still delightful.

"I really got a lot of good stuff this time."

Lin Bei sighed inwardly, his gaze falling upon the resources spread on the ground.

"These are all good things."

Lin Bei stared intently at the pile of supplies before him, the corners of his mouth curving upwards uncontrollably.

These items were all essential for daily life.

Especially the toilet paper and lighter, which could directly improve his quality of life.

As for the automatic grill, it was also very precious, but unfortunately, he had no ingredients. Otherwise... he could have eaten tender and delicious grilled meat.

And the invigorating cigarettes were not to be underestimated either. Their effects far surpassed coffee, and they could even make one immune to fatigue. If he smoked one at a critical moment, it could definitely save his life!

"It's a shame I don't smoke."

Lin Bei was a little troubled, holding an invigorating cigarette in his hand. Then, gritting his teeth, he used the lighter to light it, closed his eyes, and took a difficult puff.

"Huh?"

The imagined pungent and unpleasant smell of smoke did not enter his nostrils.

On the contrary, he only felt a faint sweet scent, without any irritating odor.

The next second, he felt his Spirit concentrate, and his body's fatigue instantly vanished!

Holy crap?

These invigorating cigarettes... are quite amazing.

Lin Bei was somewhat dazed.

The description of the invigorating cigarettes mentioned that they could adjust their flavor according to the user's condition.

But what he didn't expect was that they could adjust to such an extent!

This was definitely a treasure!

Lin Bei instantly abandoned the idea of selling these invigorating cigarettes.

He only opened 200 of these; it wasn't even enough for his own use. Unless he needed to exchange for some scarce resources, otherwise... he would never trade them.

Subsequently, he looked at the lighter in his hand again.

He had just lit a cigarette and thought the durability would decrease by 1 point.

Who would have thought that the lighter's durability only decreased by 0.01 points!

It still had 2999.99 durability left!

In other words, if he only used it to light cigarettes, he could use it a total of 300,000 times!

"...Damn, this lighter is really awesome."

Lin Bei exclaimed inwardly, then thought of the lighter's description, "This thing seems to have detailed usage instructions?"

Thinking of this, he chose to view the user manual.

Swish!

His vision blurred, and the user manual for the Fine-grade windproof lighter appeared before him.

"User Manual"

1. Flame Gear: This product has 7 flame gears for adjustment. The first 5 gears can be used for daily life, and the latter 2 gears can be used for combat against enemies. The higher the gear, the faster the durability consumption.

2. Self-destruct Device: Long-pressing the gear button for 10 seconds can trigger the self-destruct device. After 3 seconds, all durability will be consumed to cause a flame explosion effect, dealing explosion and burn damage to the target based on the product's remaining energy.

3. Energy Replenishment: Requires replenishment with Fine quality fuel. Low-quality fuel will prevent the product from using high-gear flame jets and greatly reduce the product's durability.

"Ah, this..."

Lin Bei looked at the three pieces of information displayed in the user manual, his mouth wide open, momentarily forgetting to breathe.

"It can even be used as a weapon?!"

Lin Bei was surprised, so he adjusted the gear according to the instructions and began to test the flame effects of different gears.

Sure enough, just as the user manual mentioned, the flame effects of the first five gears, ranging from fingernail size to palm size, were all within Lin Bei's understanding.

But when he adjusted the flame gear to "6" and "7," he was dumbfounded by the terrifying flame impact that shot out!

Gear "6" could maintain a flame beam up to 1 meter long, like an enchanted fire-attribute longsword, which could be swung freely and maintain its state unchanged.

As for gear "7," it was even more abnormal, directly spraying out a fire snake over 5 meters long that continuously burned, just like a flamethrower.

"Holy crap, this is too damn awesome!"

Lin Bei gasped in amazement.

What more could he say?

This Fine quality windproof lighter was simply invincible!

The only problem was that the durability consumption at high gears was a bit fast.

When using gear "6," 1 point of durability would be consumed every second.

As for gear "7," 5 points of durability would be consumed every second.

However, fortunately, he now had a full 10 Fine lighters, so in the short term, he didn't need to worry about durability consumption.

"Good thing I have the Resource Critical Hit System, which can give at least a 10x critical hit effect."

Lin Bei murmured, the smile on his lips growing brighter.

Resource critical hits were truly exhilarating!

A resource-scarce Island Survival game was almost turned into an unlimited firepower mode by him!

"With critical hits in hand, the world is mine!"

Lin Bei clenched his fists, his confidence greatly boosted.

Since he had already transmigrated and activated the system, it would be too pathetic if he didn't achieve something remarkable.

At this moment, Lin Bei's mindset had undergone some changes.

"Survival is just the basic requirement."

"Not only do I want to survive, but I also want to live a wonderful life!"

"Island Survival? No, what I want is an Island vacation!"

Lin Bei's eyes were firm, filled with confidence for the future.

"First step, expand the Island."

During this time, he had already obtained 600 primal stones through the trading market, plus what he had on him, he could now expand the small Island area by at least 20 times!

He opened the construction interface, consumed all the primal stones he had, selected the expansion area, and began to expand the Island area.

Soon, the Island shook slightly, and large swathes of light illuminated around the Island, slowly solidifying into a physical form.

In just a few breaths, the small Island, which was originally less than 30 square meters, had expanded many times over!

---

Island Level: 2

Island Area: 671 square meters

Island Expansion: 1 primal stone/square meter

Island Upgrade: 671/1000 square meters

Island Buildings: None (can be built)

---

At the same time, Lin Bei's wristband vibrated gently, emitting mechanical notification sounds.

"Ding! Your Island has been upgraded to Level 2! Your level cap has been raised from Level 10 to Level 20!"

"Ding! Your Island has been upgraded to Level 2! Blueprint recording function has been enabled! Accumulate proficiency by repeatedly using blueprints to craft items, and master permanent blueprint templates!"

"Ding! Your Island has been upgraded to Level 2! Your Island will begin to refresh Island resources starting from the next day! Increasing Island level can enhance Island ecological diversity and unlock more refreshing supplies!"

Lin Bei stood rooted to the spot, somewhat lost in thought.

After a while, he opened his wristband and checked the interface information.

He suddenly discovered that the map display area around the Island had expanded considerably compared to before.

He looked up and around, his heart suddenly jolting.

Because he suddenly found that the area originally shrouded in gray-white fog had spread out significantly, revealing a large expanse of sea.

In the distant sea, many supply treasure chests were still floating.

It was imaginable that if he had a boat, he could row over and salvage these treasure chests to obtain more supplies.

However... with a splash.

A shark surged up from the distant sea, splashing a large amount of water, forcefully pulling Lin Bei's wandering thoughts back to reality.

"Holy crap... there are sharks?!"

At this moment, Lin Bei was completely unsettled.

He decided that even if he had a boat, he would never go out to sea.

Are you kidding? He had the system, so he didn't lack any resources. There was no need to risk his life at sea to salvage supplies.

As for whether he should worry about not having a pistol and a flamethrower-like lighter? That was out of the question.

Lin Bei felt that unless he had absolute means to kill the sharks lurking in the distant sea without a scratch, otherwise... he would rather die of old age on the Island than go out to sea!

"I didn't expect such dangers to lurk in the foggy sea!"

"No, I must open more treasure chests as soon as possible to get some powerful weapons and equipment!"

"Otherwise, if a terrifying sea beast invades the Island one day and I don't have enough firepower to suppress it... I'll only have a dead end!"

Lin Bei was very anxious now.

He wished he could open ten thousand supply treasure chests and arm himself to the teeth.

The current lack of firepower would make him restless!

However, at this moment, a Master-Level Fishing Rod gently swayed on the expanded coastline a dozen meters away, fishing up a supply treasure chest.

A faint purple light emanated from the treasure chest.

Lin Bei fixed his gaze on it and immediately beamed with joy.

"It's an excellent-grade treasure chest!"
