Infinite Disasters: I Hoarded My Way to Godhood novel Chapter 40

Chapter 40: Chapter 40: Giant Spider, The Native People’s Warning

Seraphina Sullivan held her breath, carefully making her way through the ruins.

She was looking for a place where she could hide and take shelter.

She desperately hoped to find a safe space like in the last dungeon, one where she could survive until the very end. She didn’t care if it was cramped, as long as she could hide out there until the dungeon was over.

However, after surveying her surroundings, Seraphina realized this dungeon would be much harder.

Her surroundings were crawling with all sorts of mutated insects.

She periodically activated her Eye of Resume, trying to analyze the mutated insects as light-blue data materialized before her.

[Mutated Cockroach]

[Mutated Centipede]

[Mutated Beetle]...

The data panels only offered these simple labels, not even providing specific stats.

Seraphina frowned and dispatched a few giant insects blocking her path.

She offered the carcasses to the collection system to see if they met the criteria for Mission Two, only to be met with a cold, mechanical tone:

[Collection criteria not met.]

"So, what kind of insect actually counts?" Seraphina kicked away a large cockroach she had just dispatched.

She would soon have her answer.

When Seraphina turned a street corner, the sight before her made her freeze on the spot.

Countless silvery-white threads interlaced across the blood-red sky, forming a massive web that blotted out the sun. Upon it crawled innumerable giant spiders.

Their abdomens were distended, and their eight compound eyes shone with an eerie purple gleam in the crimson light.

The area felt like a demon’s lair, the air thick with the nauseating stench of decay.

Seraphina’s Eye of Resume activated, and the data that appeared this time made her pupils shrink:

[Name: Giant Spider]

[Gender: Female]

[Professional Skills: Silk Spinning, Poisonous Fang] 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

[Weaknesses: Vulnerable to fire.]

Unlike the small-fry insects from before, the data on these spiders was terrifyingly detailed.

Most importantly, the collection interface on her system suddenly lit up.

These were the insects the mission required.

’So that’s how it is...’ Seraphina had a flash of insight. ’Only insects with a complete data profile are counted.’

’So picky!’ Seraphina grumbled to herself.

Just killing the regular insects was hard enough. If she hadn’t strengthened her body with the Body Transformation Pills, Seraphina wasn’t even sure she could have handled a single large Mutated Cockroach.

Seraphina thought of Martin Lewis’s Telekinesis Talent.

’I can’t help but feel a little envious.’

Still, the Profession Skills she awakened this time were pretty good.

Previously, Seraphina had considered imbuing the Fencing Sword formed from her Silver Needles and Quick Sewing with poison.

She never expected that now, all she had to do was breathe on her Fencing Sword—using her Sleeping Fragrance and Sweet Fragrance Skills—and the effects would wrap around the silver needle to strike her target.

It was basically like imbuing it with [Sleep] and [Control] effects.

Now, the silver needle Fencing Sword created by [Quick Sewing] could do more than just stitch targets together. After being imbued with her two [Perfumer] Skills, whoever she stabbed would fall asleep or be put under her control.

Seraphina quietly retreated a few steps and ducked into a half-collapsed convenience store.

Through the broken display window, she observed the structure of this expanse of spiderweb.

Clearly, Seraphina had stumbled into the territory of a giant spider colony.
