There were two Treasure Chests on the table, but Su Yuan did not intend to open them today.
Su Yuan took out everything he was carrying and placed it on the table.
Unfortunately, the Axe was lost. He only remembered it after returning, so he would wait until dawn to go look for it. He hadn't seen anyone else nearby, so it shouldn't be gone.
Su Yuan did not trade his Food to Zhang Quancai; after all, his Food had Attributes, so it was not an equal exchange.
He used his Attribute-enhanced Food to re-trade for ordinary Food, then took a 3-day supply and traded it to Zhang Quancai.
This was what he had promised the other party earlier.
If it weren't for the fact that he still needed to exchange drinks with him later, Su Yuan would have really liked to block him, delete him from his friends list, and never have contact with this chatterbox brother again.
Sure enough, as soon as the trade went through, Brother Quancai began his performance.
"Daoist Priest, have you returned to the Black Room? How is the world at night? Did you run into any Anomaly? Daoist Priest, did you get a Treasure Chest? Did you open it? What did you get?"
"..."
This guy was definitely the embodiment of a chatterbox!
Su Yuan stopped paying attention to his frantically replied messages, lay on the bed, and browsed the information on the World Channel.
Su Yuan discovered that quite a few death reports had appeared there, most of them being people who went to open doors to get Treasure Chests. The System indicated that they were all gnawed to death by Human heads.
"Those who court death cannot be saved."
He continued to scroll through the messages.
"Does anyone else have Food?"
"Not much left."
"I'm so hungry."
"Hang in there, we'll go look tomorrow."
"The Mist is too thick during the day; I don't dare go too far. The Food nearby has already been scavenged clean."
"It's just too difficult."
"It's a good thing I have a few fruit trees nearby."
"I have a vegetable garden nearby."
"If all else fails, go dig for Tree Roots."
Su Yuan didn't continue reading; everyone was basically discussing the problem of food shortages.
He had guessed it before; Convenience Food would sooner or later exit the world stage, and people would likely need to produce it themselves.
For many people with backgrounds as farmers or Hunters, this might not be a difficult task.
But for the majority of office workers and the former wealthy class, without Convenience Food, a huge survival crisis would likely emerge.
"I don't have to worry, at least." After all, he had hoarded a large amount of Food.
Su Yuan suddenly discovered an extra notification on the Black Room page.
Do you allow the Ghost Servant to freely enter and exit the Black Room?
【Yes】【No】
This was actually fine, to avoid the Black Room's Evil Warding Attribute accidentally harming his own Ghost Servant.
He clicked 【Yes】.
Su Yuan closed the Survival Handbook, placed it to the side, and then took out the Ghost Contract.
The Ghost Contract had already changed after he obtained his first Ghost Servant.
Ghost Servant 1
Lan Ling'er（Ghost Bride）
Ghost Servant Trait: Support
Eerie Level: C-rank
（Eerie Levels are divided into: F, E, D, C, B, A, S, SS, SSS）
Talent Value: 5, Ordinary（The higher the Talent Value, the stronger the Eerie's learning ability）
（Talent Value levels: Low, Ordinary, High, Top-tier, Peerless, Legendary, Mythical）
Eerie Ability:
1. Illusion Technique: Controls the subconscious of the target and creates an Illusionary Realm, making the fake seem real.
2. Paper Figure Technique: Controls Paper Figures and can materialize them.
By looking at Ling'er's Attributes, Su Yuan had a higher understanding of Anomalies.
At the same time, he discovered that he could perform a Hundredfold Enhancement on Ling'er's Talent Value.
Unfortunately, the Eerie Level could not be enhanced; otherwise, after upgrading it, Su Yuan would have gained powerful immediate combat strength.
A stock with potential is also good; he could bet on a promising future.
Talent Value: 500, Peerless.
A Peerless Grade Talent, very nice!
Su Yuan nodded with satisfaction.
Just then, a Black Shadow emerged from the Ghost Contract.
Su Yuan was startled and jumped straight up from the bed.
"Who is it?!"
Woof!
Little Coal Ball, who was curled up in the corner sleeping, instantly woke up, barked twice, realized it was Ling'er, and lay back down, closing its eyes.
"Why did you pop out?"
Su Yuan saw her appearance clearly and breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Ling'er bowed and said, "It's a bit stuffy, I came out to get some air."
Stuffy?
Don't you feel stuffy with that Red Veil covering your face?
Su Yuan frowned: "You should go back; I'm getting ready to sleep."
"I can sleep there too." She pointed to the corner where Little Coal Ball was sleeping.
Before Su Yuan could speak, she had already drifted over, a chilling bright red, hanging in the corner with her head drooping, looking exactly like a Hanging Ghost.
"I'm dead, I'm dead!"
Su Yuan regretted letting her freely enter and exit the Black Room.
"What's wrong with you?" Ling'er saw Su Yuan's expression was off and hurriedly drifted back, "Did I disturb your rest?"
"Of course," Su Yuan said, feeling a bit frantic: "Think about it, there's a Female Ghost wearing a wedding robe and a Red Veil hanging in the room; can anyone sleep?"
Ling'er asked in confusion, "Why not?"
Su Yuan said angrily, "Nonsense!"
He pinched a Spirit Fire Talisman, "You get back in there!"
"Oh." Ling'er sensibly slipped back into the Ghost Contract.
Am I being disliked by Master?
Even that stupid dog can stay in the room, why can I only stay inside a piece of cowhide paper?
Being a Ghost Servant is too hard.
I really want to hang in the corner and watch Master fall asleep.
After a long while, Su Yuan, who had used a Clarity Talisman to calm himself down, finally fell asleep.
Several hours passed quickly, and the sun slowly rose.
A beam of light shone through the window and landed on Su Yuan's face. He stretched and sat up.
He rubbed his eyes and got out of bed.
A new day has begun; time to open the Treasure Chests first!
"Little Coal Ball, come here."
Su Yuan beckoned, and Little Coal Ball wiggled its little butt and trotted over.
"Come, scout and see if there are any Anomalies."
Su Yuan moved it onto the table.
Little Coal Ball glanced at Su Yuan with disdain,
then helplessly leaned in and sniffed.
What would I know?
Last time it was a Ghost Chest, otherwise how would I know what was inside it?
Master, you really need to be more careful!
Didn't I tell you last time?
Sigh.
Little Coal Ball shook its head, turned around, jumped off the table, and ran away.
Su Yuan was slightly puzzled by Little Coal Ball's performance; did it mean there were none?
He still cautiously held a Talisman, just in case his guess was wrong.
After all, Su Yuan and Little Coal Ball didn't have enough rapport yet, and he understood dog language even less.
Open!
The first Treasure Chest.
A simple, ancient silver ring.
Storage Ring（Special Item）
Storage Space: 1 cubic meter.
He actually opened a legendary Storage Ring!
Su Yuan was pleasantly surprised and held it in his hand to play with: "With this, it will be much more convenient to go out and find Supplies or Treasure Chests in the future!"
As for this 1-cubic-meter space, it was truly a bit small.
"That's not a problem!"
Su Yuan performed a Hundredfold Enhancement on its storage space.
Hehe, 100 cubic meters, big enough!
He put the Storage Ring on the index finger of his right hand.
It worked, just right!
Su Yuan took some Food from the Storage Room and put it inside for emergencies, then he dumped the Strange Survival Manual, Fruit Knife, Talismans, and Ghost Contract inside all at once.
Putting things into the Storage Ring was much more convenient than stuffing them on his person.
Especially since Su Yuan discovered that he only needed a thought, and the items in the ring would appear in his hand.
If he encountered an enemy, he could definitely catch them off guard!
The first Treasure Chest yielded very good goods.
Next, open the second Treasure Chest.
Su Yuan rubbed his hands together.
Good luck come!
Click, the Treasure Chest opened.
A blue Skill Book appeared before Su Yuan's eyes.
Thinking of the previously dropped 《Complete Explanation of Talismans》,
Su Yuan excitedly reached out and took it out.
"Ah?!"
This damn luck!
