Chapter 452 Unboxing

In the plaza, the modifications to the new buildings were entering their final stages.

The Iced Grape winery, formed by merging two buildings, was already taking shape after a day of renovations.

And the bakery next to the native residential block already had its ovens fired up. Rod, the bakery apprentice, was busy inside, utilizing the old–school brick ovens.

Everything was proceeding with perfect order.

Riley opened the server channel to take a look.

The abnormally violent blizzard outside had clearly caused widespread panic among other survivors as well.

[“World Channel” Crawfish: What the hell is with this snow? Is another super blizzard coming? I haven’t seen any heating equipment drop from chests though!]

[“World Channel” Manhole Cover: That’s the wrong mindset. Just ‘cause the dark clouds are out, you’re complaining no one handed you an umbrella, so it’s not gonna rain?]

[“World Channel” FlowerInTheWind: Charcoal prices in the Trading Post are spiking again! Up 10% in ten minutes! Is a merchant guild trying to pull something?]

[“World Channel” Sanctuary_Radiance: Sanctuary Guild advises everyone: the weather is highly abnormal. Do not leave your campfire radius lightly. If you’re short on supplies, come trade with Sanctuary Guild. Fair prices guaranteed.]

[“World Channel” GoldenAbacus: The market currently has premium fuel for sale! Everyone is welcome to buy, great prices guaranteed!]

[“World Channel” Frog: You aren’t gonna artificially inflate fuel prices again, are you? I’m definitely winning this time.]

Riley read the chat without a single ripple of emotion.

The spike in fuel prices on the Trading Post was a normal reaction to supply and demand. Plus, after she ruthlessly sniped Golden Rose Chamber of Commerce last time, whoever was hoarding fuel to manipulate the market now was clearly too terrified to push it too far.

The prices were still within a range that average players could grit their teeth and afford. And judging by the steady drop in fuel prices recently, it was obvious other people had discovered mineral resource points too.

Regardless of what new hell the system was cooking up, as long as she had food, walls, and weapons, she had nothing to fear.

Riley first pulled up the guild management panel and did a quick sweep of the guard rotations. The Auto–Targeting Advanced Heavy Crossbow Turrets around the perimeter were fully operational. Everything was running like a well–oiled machine.

Then, she headed straight for the Tool Room.

With a soft hiss, the steel door of the Tool Room slid open.

The bright, soft cold lights inside flickered on in sequence. Riley walked over to the spacious metal workbench, flipped her wrist, and the teardrop–shaped chest landed solidly on the table.

This thing looked less like a treasure chest and more like a monstrous beast–hide pouch.

Riley lightly tapped her finger against the surface of the teardrop chest.

A water–like ripple spread across its surface. Immediately after, an interface popped up showing countless loot crates–stained with dried water marks, mud, and even heavily oxidized blood.

At a rough glance, there were easily one or two hundred loot crates inside.

Riley pulled up a chair and, treating it like opening blind boxes, started rapidly tapping the holographic panel.

“Opered loot crate. Obtained: Black Bread x2, Wood x10, Rusted Iron Scrap x5…”

“Opened loot crate. Obtained: Cotton Coat x1, Empty Water Bottle x3, Coal Lump x2…”

“Opened unclaimed loot crate. Obtained: Stone x30, Hemostatic Bandage x1…”

“Opened unclaimed loot crate. Obtained: Blue–Tier Equipment Blueprint x2, Stimulant Potion x.1…”

The vast majority of the loot crates contained absolute junk, but a few clearly belonged to different stages of the game’s timeline.

Expressionless, Riley sorted through the loot, transferring the basic materials straight into the public Guild Warehouse.

It took her a solid half hour to open over a hundred crates.

Just as Riley was starting to get visual fatigue–even wondering if brawling with a giant catfish for this reward was actually a net loss–a refreshing flash of purple light finally popped from the system.
