Chapter 17: Silver Treasure Chest in the Cave

Chapter 17: Silver Treasure Chest in the Cave

"Hoo… Hoo…"

Cao Xing forced himself to calm down, then asked the system.

"Without considering the satiety level, what is the minimum amount of bear meat I need to eat for the attribute boost to take effect?"

You must know that this kind of bear meat only provides an attribute boost effect the first time you eat it.

Therefore, whether you eat 10 pieces or 100 pieces of bear meat, it is the same.

However, if just one bite could make it effective, then the room for Cao Xing to operate would be huge!

At this moment, a system prompt appeared.

[You need to consume more than 100g of bear meat to gain the attribute boost effect.]

Seeing this prompt, a look of wild joy flashed across Cao Xing's face.

Only 100g!

1 piece of bear meat = 1 kilogram.

In other words, he could divide these 1,215 pieces of bear meat into over ten thousand portions for trade!

It was simply unimaginable how many supplies he could exchange for them!

Of course, Cao Xing couldn't trade all of them away; he also had to keep a portion for daily needs.

After all, the population of his territory was so large now.

Next, he also needed to recruit a level 15 Tundra Druid.

Thus, Cao Xing directly collected all the materials on the ground.

By this point, the spoils of this battle had basically been counted.

Just as Cao Xing was getting ready to lead his people back, he suddenly noticed the deep cave behind them.

This cave… seemed to be the dwelling of the Snowy Blizzard Bear.

Would there be any treasures inside?

Seeing Cao Xing's gaze, Assam volunteered, "Lord, let your subordinate go and investigate first!"

Cao Xing nodded.

Then, Assam drew the longsword at his waist and walked straight into the cave.

A few minutes later, Assam walked out and said respectfully, "Lord, no other dangers were found inside the cave."

"However, I found something different inside."

Cao Xing asked in confusion, "Something different?"

Assam nodded.

…

Cao Xing brought Liu Muxue and marched toward the Blizzard Bear's cave.

As soon as they entered the cave, a faint earthy smell drifted into their nostrils.

A system prompt appeared.

[You have entered a special area: Snowy Blizzard Bear Cave…]

The inside of the cave was slightly dim, but compared to the freezing snow outside, it was indeed much warmer.

Cao Xing looked at the temperature display overhead.

[Current temperature: -25℃]

The further they walked into the cave, the higher the temperature became.

They moved forward for about a dozen meters.

In a corner of the cave, Cao Xing found the different thing Assam had mentioned.

Lying on a pile of hay was a creature that was snow-white all over and looked like a furry ball.

That was a newborn white bear cub.

It seemed to be in a sleeping state, with its body curled up, revealing a tender little paw.

Beside him, Liu Muxue's eyes instantly sparkled with little stars.

"So… so cute…"

Cao Xing walked over to the bear den, squatted down, and was just about to reach out and touch the little bear cub…

"Crackles… crackle…"

[-1]

A sound of current rang out, and a damage number appeared above Cao Xing's head.

Cao Xing felt as if he had been pricked by a needle, and instinctively withdrew his arm.

"What the heck! This little bear cub can even discharge electricity?"

Cao Xing looked forward in surprise as the attributes of this little bear cub appeared before him.

[Snowy Blizzard Bear (Infancy)]

[Race: Beast]

[Level: None]

[Attributes: None]

[Talent: Thunder Body (Can manipulate weak lightning power).]

…

Cao Xing's eyes instantly lit up.

It naturally came with lightning attributes.

This little bear cub had a future!

Just at this moment, another system prompt appeared.

[Tameable wild creature detected: Snowy Blizzard Bear cub. Do you want to tame it and recruit it into your territory?]

(After taming a wild creature, you must provide it with food and wait for it to grow up before it will have corresponding combat power.)

Obviously, Liu Muxue beside him had also heard the system prompt.

She was looking eagerly at Cao Xing, seemingly very desirous for him to take this little bear cub away.

Cao Xing pondered for a moment and nodded.

Although this little bear cub had no combat power, its potential was there.

Once it grew up, it might become as powerful as the Blizzard Bear outside!

[Recruitment successful, territory member +1. Do you want to name the Snowy Blizzard Bear?]

"Eh? You can even name it?"

Cao Xing's eyes lit up and he fell into thought once again.

This little guy could discharge electricity and was a bear.

Cao Xing couldn't help thinking of a game he had played before.

There was a giant white bear there that could manipulate lightning and gales, had undergone the baptism of war, and possessed the fighting spirit of Freljord.

Its name was Volibear, and it also had a resounding title: The Thunder's Roar!

Thinking of this, Cao Xing directly said, "Today, I bestow a name upon you, Volibear!"

The little bear cub, curled up together in the bear den, stretched its limbs, seemingly sensing something as well.

"Wuwu~"

A soft hum issued from the little bear cub's mouth.

[Volibear successfully named.]

Liu Muxue also heard the system prompt, and she happily wanted to pick up the little bear cub.

Cao Xing reminded her from behind, "Sister-in-law, be careful, this little bear cub can discharge electricity."

Liu Muxue was stunned for a moment, then nodded gently.

She carefully extended a finger and touched the little bear cub's body.

And this time, that little bear cub did not emit any electric current.

Liu Muxue felt a surge of joy and directly reached out with both hands, holding the little bear cub in her arms.

She looked at Cao Xing and said happily, "A-Xing, look, it doesn't seem to be shocking me!"

The corners of Cao Xing's mouth twitched. This little guy…

The little bear cub seemed to know it had a new master, and its limbs thrashed about randomly.

Holding it up, Liu Muxue chuckled, "Voli, from now on your name is Voli!"

Cao Xing stepped over the bear den and walked straight to the innermost part of the cave.

Because there, he saw a treasure chest!

This was also one of the things Assam had explored earlier.

[Unlocked Silver Treasure Chest (Can be opened)]

Seeing the system introduction, Cao Xing's breath instantly hitched. "Good fellow, it's actually a Silver Treasure Chest!"

In this world, the grades of treasure chests were divided into: Black Iron, Bronze, Silver, Constant Gold, Bright Moon, and so on.

The rarity of the items obtained from different grades of treasure chests also varied.

It was said that the highest-grade Bright Moon Treasure Chest could even yield legendary equipment!

As for whether there were higher-grade treasure chests, Cao Xing hadn't come into contact with them, so he wasn't clear either.

But when Cao Xing was playing games, by the time he opened his first Silver Treasure Chest, he had already survived for more than ten days!

Therefore, for him to be able to find a Silver Treasure Chest in the early stage now, one could imagine how significant this meaning was!

Cao Xing directly clicked to open it.

[Successfully opened Silver Treasure Chest…]

[Obtained Skill Book: GZ-Mark Robot.]

[Obtained Black Iron Bracer (Green) * 1]

[Obtained Medical Pack * 5, obtained Small Resource Pack * 1, obtained Mithril * 5]

…

"What the heck! A skill book, plus a green piece of equipment, and medical packs and mithril!"

"As expected of a Silver Treasure Chest!"

Cao Xing was overjoyed, then he began to check the attributes of these items.

[Skill Book: GZ-Mark Robot]

(Exclusive skill book for Frost Iron Mechanic. Consumes materials and Mechanical Energy to summon 1 GZ-Mark Robot that inherits 120% of the Survivor's attributes. The robot's duration is 180 seconds.)

Cao Xing said in pleasant surprise, "It's actually this skill book!"
