Infinite Disasters: I Hoarded My Way to Godhood novel Chapter 295

Chapter 295: Chapter 295: Silver Special Treasure Chest

Meanwhile, in a temporary cave hideout far away.

Simon Holt, deep in sleep, was violently jolted awake by a muffled yet incredibly piercing explosion!

The sound seemed to originate from deep underground, accompanied by a faint tremor in the earth.

"What’s going on?! What happened?!"

He shot up, the sudden movement pulling at his wounds. He grimaced in pain, but the mysterious explosion was far more alarming.

He glanced around in a panic.

He found that besides himself, the only other one in the cave was the large metal rooster, Chubbs. Seraphina Sullivan was gone.

A terrible thought instantly flooded his mind: ’Did... did she use the chaos of the explosion to abandon me, the dead weight?’

The thought sent a chill down his spine. He instinctively began to consider his chances of surviving alone, even wondering if he should take the opportunity to slip away.

However, he turned his head and met Chubbs’s completely emotionless eyes.

Chubbs had its head tilted, staring at him, immobile. Its posture was as if it were sizing up a... dish... that was about to be served?

Simon Holt: "..."

That stare instantly cooled his feverish thoughts.

He looked down at his own body, covered in bandages and difficult to move.

Then he sensed the faint, dangerous Aura coming from the outside world and sadly accepted a harsh reality.

With his meager strength, in this dangerous dungeon, leaving Seraphina Sullivan’s protection would likely mean getting snuffed out in the next second.

In fact... he might not even need the monsters outside to do the job. The formidable-looking iron rooster right in front of him could probably finish him off. 𝖿𝔯𝓮𝗲𝓌𝗲𝘣𝙣ℴ𝕧𝓮𝗹.𝒸𝓸𝗺

He swallowed hard and tried to communicate, his tone cautious. "Uh... Rooster... er, where’s your master? Where’d she go?"

Chubbs merely shot him a condescending glance.

A meaningless "GURGLE" rumbled in its throat, but it gave no other reaction, continuing to stand firm, blocking the way to the cave entrance.

Chubbs’s inner monologue: ’Bawk bawk, what a frail little chick. This great one has to babysit him.’

Seeing Chubbs’s "you shall not pass" stance and the undisguised disdain in its eyes, Simon Holt completely deflated and obediently shrank back into the corner.

Simon Holt: "..."

He couldn’t shake the feeling that he was being looked down on by a chicken, and yet he had no way to argue back.

...

[Ding! Congratulations to the Player for completing Side Quest 2: Find a radiation source and dispose of it!]

[Reward: 1x Silver Special Treasure Chest has been sent to the Player’s Space. Please check for it.]

The crisp system notification echoed in her mind. Seraphina’s heart settled, knowing the side quest was finally, successfully completed.

A Silver Level Special Treasure Chest. The reward shouldn’t be too bad.

’Finally completed a side quest,’ Seraphina thought to herself.

However, another thought surfaced.

’I wonder if I find and destroy another radiation source, will the system still count it as completing the mission and give another reward? I’ll have to find another one to find out, though.’

Standing at the edge of the Holy Spirit Clan’s settlement, Seraphina looked at her "masterpiece" and nodded with satisfaction.

The soaring flames illuminated her face, and the pungent smell of gunpowder and radioactive dust filled the air.

"It seems the most direct method is sometimes the most effective," she couldn’t help but muse.
