Chapter 40 - 40

Lin Bei looked at the attributes of the final two items, dumbfounded.

"These two items... are pretty awesome."

He couldn't help but exclaim.

First is the Perfect Day Scroll. With this scroll, he essentially gained an extra life-saving trump card!

If he genuinely encounters a disaster one day that he cannot resolve, deploying the scroll will not only prevent disaster but also grant him a Perfect rating the next day, earning massive rewards!

This is absolutely a powerful item capable of turning the tide!

Although it is only Perfect quality, Lin Bei felt that if used properly, the effect it could produce would definitely not be inferior to an item of transcendent quality!

As for the supreme quality primordial stone, there's even less to say.

Not only can it be used as a crafting material for transcendent items, but it can also directly expand territory area by 1 square kilometer!

The Island area that just this one supreme quality primordial stone can expand is equivalent to the effect of one million common primal stones!

supreme quality primordial stone, truly lives up to its name!

It completely deserves the high value implied by the words "supreme quality"!

"I didn't expect this trip to the Underworld to yield such rich rewards!"

"It's still thanks to the strong assistance of the Disqualified Ones, otherwise... the rewards from just the Mist Monsters outside and the Bonfires would have been much less."

Lin Bei exited the small wooden house. He had already thoroughly looted the interior, and there was no point in staying.

He took out the Teleportation Stone. Sure enough, this time nothing unexpected happened. His body was enveloped in a gentle light, and he quickly disappeared from the Underworld.

The next second, on Lin Bei's Island, inside the Dungeon Entrance cave, white light appeared, and a figure walked out.

"Thank heavens! You're finally back!"

The hunched black shadow, who was puffing smoke, immediately straightened up upon seeing this, quickly stepped forward, his tone filled with excitement and lingering fear.

"You don't know, you were in the Underworld for nearly three hours this time, and I almost thought you weren't coming back!"

"Thankfully, it was just a false alarm! It's good that you're back! It's good that you're back!"

"But I have to say a few words to you. You're just a newcomer who entered the Survival World less than two days ago; there's no need to be so desperate!"

"Your start is so awesome. As long as you can manage to survive and develop, you will definitely have a place in the future!"

"So..."

The moment Lin Bei returned, he heard the incessant chatter next to his ear, which made him feel annoyed.

He directly raised his hand and interrupted the other party's subsequent words.

"Could you shut up for a moment? You keep rattling on endlessly. Do you think you're a machine gun?"

"It was just an Underworld exploration, wasn't it? You're acting like I'm already dead!"

"Alright, putting other matters aside, I have a serious question I want to ask you now."

Lin Bei said, looking seriously at the black shadow, stating word by word: "Can you tell me... about the Disqualified Ones?"

"Ah? Dis... Disqualified Ones? How do you know about the Disqualified Ones? This... this is a bit strange."

The black shadow was stunned by the words, momentarily forgetting how to speak.

"Sure enough, you old man are hiding something from me!"

Seeing this, Lin Bei's expression darkened, and he said coldly, "Tell me everything you know about the Disqualified Ones, or else... I'll go dismantle the Braves Shop and the Dungeon Entrance right now and help you delete your account!"

"Holy crap! You kid are a Wan Quan Bu Poet! To actually use the tactic of pulling the firewood from under the cauldron! I..."

The black shadow was greatly alarmed by the words, and his speaking accent even took on a strange dialect flavor.

But soon, he struggled internally for a moment, then sighed:

"Alas, forget it. Since you already know about the Disqualified Ones, telling you won't count as a violation."

"This is the situation: the Disqualified Ones... are actually Survivors who failed in the past."

"As far as I know, before the Island Survival World, there were several other Survival Worlds, such as the Mist Survival World, the Apocalypse Survival World, the Raft Survival World... and so on."

"The Dungeon Entrance leads to the Survival Worlds where previous Survivors failed."

"These worlds are now entirely shrouded in abyssal mist, and what Survivors like you need to do is re-enter those contaminated worlds, light Bonfires, dispel the darkness, and purify the original worlds."

"The Disqualified Ones... are actually divided into two types. One type consists of the Survivors who failed in the original Survival Worlds, and the other type are failed latecomers who lost themselves in the mist and became the final product of contamination and erosion."

"I don't know which type of Disqualified One you encountered, but generally speaking, the probability of encountering a Disqualified One upon entering the Underworld is extremely low, because unless you trigger some special condition... you usually won't run into them."

"Of course, if you can successfully kill a Disqualified One, you can gain quite a few benefits, part of which is the legacy they carry."

"Even if those items are useless to you, you can take them to the Braves Shop for recycling and receive a considerable reward."

"Moreover, as far as I know, the Disqualified Ones are not completely dead. They can return through some special means, but what those specific means are, I do not know."

"Alright, I have told you all the information I know about the Disqualified Ones. Now, can you tell me specifically what kind of sensation you caused during this trip to the Underworld?"

After speaking, the black shadow let out a long breath, looking toward Lin Bei with a somewhat complicated expression.

He had already estimated the opponent highly enough, but he never expected that the other party, merely on his first trip into the Underworld, would encounter something as outrageous as a Disqualified One!

It's simply incomprehensible!

"Oh, so that's what happened."

Seeing that the other party's attitude was decent, Lin Bei temporarily dismissed the idea of helping him delete his account.

Subsequently, he briefly recounted what happened in the Underworld.

"Holy crap? You... you actually swept through the entire Underworld? Not only killing all the Mist Monsters but also lighting all the Bonfires in the area?"

"Damn it, no wonder you were hunted by a Disqualified One! The key is... you kid not only survived, but you even... counter-killed the Disqualified One and obtained all their legacy?"

The black shadow's mind was almost crashing now. He felt like he was dreaming; it was so unreal.

What kind of joke is this!

A newcomer who arrived in the Survival World less than two days ago, counter-killed a Disqualified One—who should have been the hunter—after entering the Underworld for the first time?

Damn, are you writing a novel here?

Is the plot this outrageous?

The actions of this kid in front of him shattered his understanding of this world again and again!

"This kid... Poet's Grip!"

"Is he the Celestial Gods' biological son?"

"Otherwise, damn it, who can explain how this kid managed to do all these unbelievable things in less than two days?"

"Could it be that the Goddess of Luck took a fancy to him? He's blessed with immense destiny, so not only can he not die no matter what he does, but he keeps getting stronger?"

"This is truly outrageous—the mother of outrageousness opening the door for outrageousness; it's outrageous to the max!"

The hunched black shadow—that is, Stinky Treasure, Great Dark Heaven—stood rooted to the spot like a statue, completely demoralized, his mouth twitching continuously, looking as if he was about to faint.

This kid... is he playable without nerfs?

Do other Survivors know you're this awesome?

... "Right, stop spacing out. I still have something I want to consult you about."

Evidently, Lin Bei didn't take these matters to heart. Without waiting for Da Hei to recover, he continued to inquire:

"Can you explain what those sturdy Barriers are all about?"

"If they hadn't been in the way, I should have been able to grind a lot more experience. It's a pity that even if I mobilized hundreds of excellent-grade tanks to bombard those Barriers, they remained completely unmoved."

Lin Bei's tone was somewhat helpless.

Clearly, he was still bothered by the fact that the Barriers prevented him from gaining experience.

"You... please just be a decent human being."

"The establishment of Barriers in the Underworld was originally a mechanism set up to protect Survivors from encountering too much danger. How did it end up becoming the main culprit restricting your development?"

Da Hei was speechless.

But after thinking about it, he still answered, "Don't even think about breaking those Barriers. It can't be done without 100,000 Combat Power."

"In that case, fine."

Lin Bei shrugged his shoulders upon hearing this.

100,000 Combat Power was indeed a bit distant for him right now.

"Right, one last thing I want to discuss with you: can you increase the recycling price at the Braves Shop? I won't take advantage of you, how about acquiring them at the original price?"

Lin Bei said with a sincere expression.

"..."

Da Hei fell silent for a long time upon hearing this.

But inwardly, he cursed: "Are you seriously calling that discussing with me? Do you believe that if I refuse right now, you'll immediately turn around and delete my account again?"

"Forget it, when the devil is under the eaves, he has to bow his head!"

He showed a warm smile and bowed slightly, saying, "Don't worry about that. As your most loyal partner, this is just a minor matter!"

"Stinky Treasure, you truly are a good person!"

Hearing this, Lin Bei's face also showed a warm smile.

Afterward, Lin Bei bid farewell to Da Hei and went to the central area of the Island.

After a busy day, he could finally build his own Perfect Manor Villa.

At that time, soaking in a warm bathtub, upgrading and allocating points—just thinking about it felt incredibly comfortable.

Lin Bei took stock of the various materials needed to build the villa.

After confirming everything was correct, he took out a construction blueprint.

He then selected a large area in the center of the Island and directly chose to start construction.

The next second, the Island shook violently.

The central area was enveloped in a large expanse of white light, illuminating the pitch-black night sky brightly.

After lasting about a minute, the light gradually dispersed.

A delicate Manor Villa suddenly appeared in the center of the Island.

Looking from afar, it was magnificent!

"Done!"

Lin Bei clapped his hands, a satisfied smile curving his lips.
