Survival For All: I, Aura Creator

Chapter 4 Aura: There's Treasure in the Box! (Seeking Collection!)

Approaching and prying open the bushes, Ning Ze indeed found a wooden box inside.

[Wooden Box]

[Note: Origin unknown, may contain treasures, food, water, tools. Who knows for sure? It's just a wooden box, don't expect too much.]

Ning Ze didn't rashly open the box.

The fact that there was a box in the bushes itself was abnormal.

"Wow~ Let's see what I've found in the box? A machete!"

"Tears, it's actually a weapon. I, who was still using a stone axe, silently shed tears of envy."

"The box can produce weapons? How dare you! How can you produce weapons! How dare you!!!"

"I knock? Weapon? Why did I get drinking water and a few loaves of bread?"

"Seeking to buy a self-defense weapon for a 1.8-meter tall athletic guy. Good brothers with weapons who have chopped over 150+ wood in the morning, please PM me!"

"You're seeking to buy, but are you a 1.8-meter tall athletic guy showing off?"

"Alright, alright, is that how it is? I'm a 1.6-meter tall little puppy. I cut my hand while chopping trees in the morning, sniff, sniff, does anyone feel sorry for me..."

"Hey, hey, you look like the Desert Butcher in the top lane, and you're a little puppy? I'll be damned..."

Browsing the chat channel, Ning Ze found that many people were discussing the box.

The variety of items that could be obtained from the box was diverse, including water resources, various tools, and even weapons like machetes.

It was clear that the box was not a rare item, and there would likely be more boxes to be found in the future.

As a way to obtain special resources, creating an Aura in opening boxes was also a reasonable thing to do.

After opening the professional panel, the Origin Value still had 133 points remaining, which was more than enough to create another Aura.

[Pearl Shine: Increases the quality of all items in the treasure chest by one level.]

[Invest Origin Value: 100; Success Rate: 5%.]

[Gift for Opening: Increases the number of items obtained from the treasure chest by +2.]

[Invest Origin Value: 100; Success Rate: 60%.]

[Treasure in the Box: When opening the treasure chest, a higher quality item will definitely appear.]

[Invest Origin Value: 100; Success Rate: 70%.]

With the experience of creating [Goldfinger], Ning Ze quickly conceived the prototype of the Aura for the treasure chest.

This time, it was difficult for him to choose the Aura.

The effects of the second and third Auras were both good, and their success rates were not low.

However, after reading a large number of self-reports of opening boxes in the chat channel, Ning Ze still chose the third one.

[Aura creation successful!]

[Treasure in the Box (I): There must be treasures in this box; every treasure chest you open will definitely yield a higher quality item.]

[Ding! Under the effect of the Aura [Treasure in the Box], every treasure chest you open will definitely yield a higher quality item, with a high probability of resources, a low probability of obtaining weapons, and an extremely low probability of obtaining crafting blueprints.]

The moment the Aura was created, Ning Ze couldn't wait to squat down.

- Click.

[Congratulations, you have obtained drinkable water*2300ml (with container), a lighter*1, salt*100g, and an additional brand new iron axe.]

The crisp sound echoed in Ning Ze's ears along with the pleasant notification sound.

[Brand New Iron Axe (Blue)]

[Attack Power]: 7-12

[Durability]: 30/30

[Description]: A shiny iron axe, each harvest will yield 2-5 pieces of wood. Perhaps its use is not limited to chopping trees.

Upon seeing the items opened from the wooden box, a sense of joy surged through Ning Ze's mind.

He was completely stunned!

Oh~~ Louis, you have to see this~ This is simply a masterpiece of God~

The luster, the brightness, the sharp metallic feel~

What is luck? This is luck!

Every random item in the box is of Supreme Grade.

The importance of a water source is self-evident.

Under normal circumstances, an adult needs to consume 2000 milliliters of water per day to be considered sufficient, but the current situation is different.

Drinking over 2000 milliliters of water for two or three days is no problem, and if he saves some, he might even last an extra day.

A lighter is also a necessary item. It's extremely difficult to start a fire barehanded, and even for seasoned wilderness survival experts, it's quite a physical exertion to start a fire without flint or similar fire sources.

The harmfulness of a lack of salt in the body is known even to young children. This amount of salt would be enough for him for several days.

Of course, what pleased Ning Ze the most was the additional iron axe.

Using the iron axe to chop wood would definitely double his efficiency. Additionally, the attack power of the iron axe was higher than that of the novice dagger, so it could also be used as a weapon.

After stowing all these items in his backpack, Ning Ze prepared to start a fire on the spot.

The prolonged high-intensity labor had made him feel hungry, and if he didn't replenish his food soon, he might not have the energy to chop trees later.

He took a big gulp of the drinkable water, but it was only about 200 milliliters.

After drinking, instead of quenching his thirst, it seemed to intensify, but Ning Ze had to endure it.

The sizzling sound of the rabbit meat, skewered on a branch and roasting by the campfire until golden brown, filled the air with an enticing aroma. Sprinkling a handful of salt on it, the sizzling of the oil droplets filled his ears, making his mouth water every second.

Oh my! This is so delicious!!!

How could such a delicacy be without seasoning!

Without hesitation, Ning Ze opened the [Trading Post] and searched for various seasonings.

Unfortunately, although the [Trading Post] was unlocked at this stage, it was only available within the regional range.

In the regional channel, there were a full ten thousand players, but he couldn't even find a pinch of cumin!

This is so frustrating!!!

Fortunately, when the rabbit meat was ready, Ning Ze exchanged 50g of garlic cloves and a bottle of beer.

Beer, garlic, and roasted rabbit?

Wow!!!

So satisfying~~

As he took a bite of the golden and crispy rabbit meat, the sound of "crunch" accompanied by a slight sweetness filled his mouth. The delicious meat had no hint of gaminess, and the juices under the crispy skin locked in the moisture, making it both chewy and tender!

Wrapped in a ball of lettuce, the rabbit meat was cool and slightly bitter. As he chewed the leaves, he could taste the salty freshness of the moistened salt grains.

He threw half a garlic clove into his mouth.

"Ah~~~" (Apex Level Curse: Kiwi~)

The spiciness made Ning Ze shed tears of happiness involuntarily.

So happy~~

Wow~~ Ice-cold beer is so refreshing~~

And so, Ning Ze enjoyed his roasted meat and beer, while in the regional channel, he couldn't decide whether to laugh or sigh as he watched other survivors lamenting... these people were all his compatriots.

Although the ten thousand people in the regional channel were far fewer than those in the world channel, there was no limit to the number of messages in this channel, so it was very lively.

"I'm so hungry, I didn't even have dinner last night, and now I've been chopping trees for so long, I'm about to pass out from hunger. Is there anyone kind enough to help with some food? I'll definitely repay you in the future."

"Don't ask, it's a barren land here, I can't even see a few trees, let alone animals. I'm now considering whether to fill my hunger by eating wild grass."

"I'm in a swamp, not a single tree in sight, but there are some frogs. I finally caught a few, but damn, it turns out that eating them will reduce my sanity."

"Same here, I hunted a few birds by making traps, but eating them will also reduce my sanity."

"Not only can't we eat meat, the berries I just picked also reduce my sanity when eaten."

"This is ridiculous, this is not survival at all. The things we find can't be eaten. Are they asking us to eat dirt?"

"Not necessarily, I just ate some meat, and although I felt a bit dizzy and had a bit of mental confusion after eating, I also feel that my sanity has recovered a bit. I think as long as I don't eat too much, there shouldn't be a big problem."

"Forget it, I only ate a pound of meat, and now my head is filled with crazy thoughts. I can't even chop trees seriously now. Just now, my head sank, and my goodness, I almost chopped my own leg. At this rate, I'll die at my own hands sooner or later."

"."

Seeing this, Ning Ze was somewhat surprised.

It seemed that he was not the only one whose hunted meat couldn't be eaten, and the same was true for others, even with plants.

However, Ning Ze also noticed that sanity could be restored, but the recovery rate was probably not fast.

This chapter is complete. Thank you for all the feedback!
