Infinite Disasters: I Hoarded My Way to Godhood novel Chapter 464

Chapter 464: Chapter 464: Dungeon Destroyer

They looked at each other, but neither said another word.

They each ate a few bites of their meal in silence.

After a moment of silence, Chet Lucius was the first to break the stalemate.

He lowered his voice and admitted frankly, "I got the mission reward. It was... some useless intel. About the Monster King."

Seraphina Sullivan raised an eyebrow. "Same here. Just a prophecy about the world ending, and not a single damn thing else."

The corner of Chet Lucius’s mouth twitched. He was clearly just as speechless about this so-called "grand prize."

"So," Seraphina Sullivan said, putting down her spoon and looking him straight in the eye. 𝗳𝓻𝖾𝙚𝙬𝗲𝗯𝗇𝐨𝚟𝓮𝔩.𝓬𝒐𝓶

"You’re staying behind to grab some ’local specialties,’ too? Like that ’Breakthrough Barrier’ potion from Dr. Ford?"

Chet Lucius didn’t deny it. Instead, he gave a slight nod. "It wasn’t easy coming here. It’d be a waste to go back empty-handed.

Besides..." He paused. "This world also has those strange parasites, the Hyper-Beasts. I’m somewhat interested in their Control mechanisms and getting a few samples."

Seraphina Sullivan understood.

’As expected, all Players are cut from the same cloth.’

’Completing the mission was just the foundation. Scavenging for resources, exploring the unknown, and digging up hidden value—that was an instinct that ran bone-deep.’

"We work together?" Seraphina Sullivan asked bluntly.

Chet Lucius glanced at her, then at Flora Sullivan, who was eating quietly beside them with her ears practically perked up. After a moment’s thought, he nodded.

"Let’s work together. We’ll share information but acquire resources on our own. We’ll cover for each other when necessary.

But there’s one rule," he said, looking at Seraphina Sullivan seriously.

"Don’t expose yourself in front of the Native People. I have no desire to be interrogated as a monster again."

"Deal." Seraphina Sullivan extended her hand.

Chet Lucius shook it.

In the cafeteria of this massive, post-apocalyptic Shelter, a temporary alliance was quietly forged over a simple dinner.

Their next objective was clear: use their connection to Dr. Ford and Beau Soto to find a way to legally acquire a batch of finished [Barrier Breaker Type I] potions or the production formula.

Along the way, they would dig up more information on the "Hyper-Beasts," and... see if there were any other "local specialties" in the Shelter worth swiping.

As for Sharon Lynn... Seraphina knew the girl would eventually find her parents,

but that was her own destiny to follow.

As a Player, her escort duty was complete.

Now, it was time for the Players’ own "free exploration."

Seraphina Sullivan decided to set her sights on the mysterious "Hyper-Beasts."

These bizarre, minuscule creatures could parasitize and Control humans, making their samples incredibly valuable for research. She might even be able to trade them with Beau Soto or Dr. Ford for some "Barrier Breaker" potions.

However, before she and Chet Lucius could even devise a concrete plan, a group of "uninvited guests" arrived at the outer entrance of Shelter No. 3.

It was a group of about seven or eight people. Dressed in rags and covered in dust, they looked no different from any other survivors fleeing the wasteland.

But from a distance, Seraphina Sullivan and Chet Lucius both caught it at almost the exact same time—that familiar Aura, the one that marked them as "their own kind."

Players.

And more than just one.

"More of them?" Chet Lucius’s brow furrowed as he muttered to himself. "Did they get an escort mission too? Is their destination also Shelter No. 3?"

Seraphina Sullivan didn’t answer, merely observing the group with a stony expression.

However, this group of Players clearly had a completely different style from Seraphina and Chet’s, who were carefully hiding their identities and trying to blend in with the locals.
