Survival For All: I, Aura Creator

Chapter 18: Opening Three Treasure Chests (Please Collect!)

Ning Ze took out 100 grams of inedible meat from his backpack and threw it to the young wolf cub.

However, the young wolf cub sniffed at it and didn't immediately eat it.

Instead, it lifted its head and stared at him, its green eyes shining with anticipation.

Continuously circling the meat, it made a "wuwuwu" sound, eagerly seeking Ning Ze's approval.

"Could this young wolf cub be mistaking me for the wolf king?"

"Eat, there's more if it's not enough."

As soon as he finished speaking, the young wolf cub immediately picked up the meat, chewed on it a few times, and swallowed it.

100 grams of meat was indeed not much. Ning Ze then cut another 200 grams of meat and threw it to the cub, which it devoured just as quickly.

"It can eat so much?"

Helplessly, he had to continue cutting more meat.

The young wolf cub seemed insatiable, and Ning Ze ended up feeding it a total of 2.5 kilograms of meat. Even after finishing, the cub still looked at him expectantly.

When Ning Ze stopped feeding it, his expression turned dark.

The young wolf cub seemed to sense his mood and stopped making "wuwuwu" sounds, burying its head in a pitiful manner.

Ning Ze didn't say anything, but he was considering whether to keep such a big eater.

It could eat so much that it might bankrupt him if he kept it.

If he didn't keep it, perhaps he could have a wolf meat feast now.

The young wolf cub looked like it weighed around 20 to 30 kilograms, and the meat he could get from it would be at least 10 kilograms. It would be enough for a week.

At that moment, the young wolf cub suddenly left his side and walked towards the depths of the cave.

After walking a short distance, it turned back and let out two "awoo" sounds, as if reminding him to follow.

Ning Ze was a bit puzzled by what the young wolf cub was up to, but he followed it.

He now had night vision, so even without a torch, he could see clearly inside the cave.

Before long, led by the young wolf cub, Ning Ze arrived at a more spacious area inside the cave.

To Ning Ze's surprise, the young wolf cub was circling around three chests, and after a few circles, it stopped and let out two "awoo" sounds towards him.

Oh my!

"Three treasure chests!!!"

Ning Ze felt like happiness was knocking at his door and immediately went to check the situation.

He saw three chests, all unopened, covered in dust and some wolf paw prints.

Two of the chests were ordinary wooden chests, while the one in the middle was a metal chest.

Seeing Ning Ze's excited reaction, the young wolf cub also ran around excitedly until Ning Ze calmed it down by patting its head, after which it lay quietly at his feet.

"It seems this young wolf cub is quite useful. It's not bad to keep it. Maybe it will bring me more treasure chests another day."

"Anyway, let's open the chests first."

Ning Ze rubbed his hands and then opened the leftmost wooden chest.

[Congratulations, you have obtained 10 small breads, 2 iron ingots, 5 amoxicillin capsules, and an additional pair of protective gloves.]

Not bad!

Although the items obtained were slightly fewer, each item was useful. Especially the medicine, the small bread could save him the trouble of cooking meat during the day.

Next, he turned his attention to the right wooden chest.

[Congratulations, you have obtained 1200ml of drinkable water, 1 kerosene lamp, 120g of chicken essence, and an additional 50g of corn seeds.]

The items obtained this time were slightly less exciting, but the "treasure chest" effect came through again, unexpectedly yielding agricultural seeds.

The only regret was that he hadn't found a water source yet, so he might have to wait to plant the crops.

Now it was time for the main event. The metal treasure chest was of higher quality than the ordinary wooden chests and had a higher probability of containing good items.

[Congratulations, you have obtained 2000ml of drinkable water, 1 well survey book, a blueprint for a level I animal trap, 1 shovel, and 1 alloy cleaver.]

When Ning Ze saw the items obtained, he was visibly stunned.

"Wow~"

A gasp of surprise escaped him. A book of experience, a blueprint, and even a weapon. Perhaps this was the extent of his good luck. Ning Ze quickly checked the descriptions of the items.

[Alloy Cleaver (Blue)]

[Attack]: 18-32

[Effects]: Beheading II (10% chance of instant kill when attacking the neck), Agile I (50% increase in swinging speed), Self-repair I (recovers 1 durability point every 24 hours)

[Durability]: 40/40

[Description]: A weapon crafted with technology, too bad you don't know how to use a knife.

Ning Ze directly ignored the last line. Who said he didn't know how to use it? Even if he didn't, with double proficiency growth, mastering basic knife skills would be a piece of cake.

However, this weapon did impress Ning Ze. Its attack power was much higher than his iron axe, which was, after all, just a tool for chopping wood, albeit one that could be used as a weapon.

In addition, the various effects were impressive, and there was even a chance for an instant kill, although the conditions were somewhat strict, once triggered, it would be decisive!

Ning Ze took out the cleaver and played with it. Seeing him produce a knife out of thin air, the young wolf cub was immediately frightened and ran to a corner with an "awoo" sound.

The appearance of the cleaver had no decorative patterns, just a basic and unadorned shape. If placed among a pile of swords, it would probably be the most inconspicuous one. Ning Ze wasn't one to care about appearances; as long as the weapon was useful, its looks didn't matter.

He then took out the well survey book and immediately began studying it without hesitation.

[Learning progress: 1%; Estimated learning time: 24 hours.]

With the fivefold learning speed, he would fully master its contents in just one day.

Since he hadn't found a water source in the forest, perhaps he could dig a few wells near the small wooden house in the future.

[Protective Gloves (White)]

[Effects]: When worn, it can protect the palms and slightly improve work efficiency.

[Description]: A plain pair of gloves, probably only worn by laborers.

Putting on the gloves, he had developed blisters on his hands from chopping trees over the past few days. These gloves would provide some protection.

The cave was still deep, and it would take some time to explore it fully. It might be better to go back and deal with the house first before making plans.

Ning Ze took a quick look and prepared to leave the cave.
