9: White treasure chest

Lin Chuan repeatedly went against Qi Feng, directly drawing the dissatisfaction of Qi Feng's supporters!

Prince Ziheng was the first to jump out: "With so many of us here, any one of us picked at random is at least a C-Level Talent! A trash F-level like you, where do you get the nerve to act like a clown here?!"

Others chimed in as well: "Exactly! It's your honor that President Qi Feng is willing to carry you! Not only are you ungrateful, you trash, but you even dare to be so picky!"

Qi Feng's hypocritical persona made it inconvenient for him to actively initiate conflicts with others.

And people like Prince Ziheng became his best mouthpieces.

It could be said that they said everything he wanted to say without ruining his image.

Qi Feng was secretly pleased, but on the surface, he still acted like a gentle peacemaker: "Everyone, calm down, calm down. There's no need to ruin our harmony over such a small matter..."

Lin Chuan smiled again: "It's true that I only have an F-Level Talent, but my boss has an A-Level Talent! Not only does he have an A-Level Talent, he is also the first top expert to receive a global announcement! If I don't have the right to be picky, does my boss not have the right either?"

Yuan Feng and Lin Chuan were on the same team, so at this moment, he naturally leaned toward Lin Chuan.

Moreover, he still remembered that the reason he was able to get the global announcement was entirely because Lin Chuan had discovered the crystal nuclei!

Now, Lin Chuan suddenly insisted on going to South Three again...

Although it looked like he was simply opposing Qi Feng, Yuan Feng still stood on his side and spoke up assertively, "I want to go to South Three."

This was the posture of the strong.

He didn't deign to say much; a simple "I want to go to South Three" was more than enough.

Qi Feng's heart was bleeding!

His Intuition Talent allowed him to sense that there were opportunities in South Three, while South Four held danger!

That was why he had arranged for himself to go to South Three and for Lin Chuan to go to South Four!

But now...

Although he had the highest prestige on the scene, he had to admit that Yuan Feng was the strongest!

Although Qi Feng's Talent had a powerful effect, it had absolutely no combat capability.

After careful consideration, he assessed the situation and finally bowed his head to the stronger man.

After the redistribution of tasks, to rebuild his prestige, Qi Feng showed off a little trick—

With a wave of his hand, a large number of blades appeared out of thin air on the ground!

Everyone present was dumbfounded and cried out in surprise:

"spatial equipment!"

"President Qi Feng actually has spatial equipment?!"

"It's only been how long... President, how did you do it?"

Qi Feng smiled smugly: "It's nothing, I just got a dimensional ring from a white treasure chest."

"A white treasure chest?! What is that?!"

Qi Feng generously explained, "I found it by the side of the road by accident. You can also keep an eye out for them when clearing monsters later."

"Found by accident?"

Lin Chuan found it amusing.

It was definitely his Intuition Talent that helped him find it!

He remembered that on the first day of the apocalypse, quite a few white treasure chests had indeed been spawned, and they were very easy to obtain.

However, white treasure chests were of low value. Something like a dimensional ring was actually quite common in the apocalyptic game, not really a rarity.

On the contrary, higher-level treasure chests would definitely be guarded by powerful dimensional creatures.

As for other ways to obtain treasure chests...

Lin Chuan silently glanced at Yuan Feng.

Yuan Feng didn't notice Lin Chuan's gaze. While feeling envious, jealous, and hateful toward Qi Feng, he proactively chose an iron axe from the ground as his weapon.

Lin Chuan also went to choose a utility knife with a sharp blade.

The blade of a utility knife was too small, making it basically useless for fighting monsters.

Looking at Lin Chuan's strength, using this blade to slit throats and take lives was very convenient.

He put the blade into his pocket and took a kitchen knife as well to put on a show.

Once everyone had chosen their weapons, they entered the dormitory building according to their previous assignments.

Qi Feng was the last to move.

He watched Lin Chuan's back as he entered South Three, a deep intent to kill flashing in his eyes.

However, when his gaze swept past Luan Yuling, a trace of wariness flashed through it.

Each of the boys' dormitory buildings was six stories high.

Yuan Feng led the team, starting their search from the first floor and working their way up.

Because the Killing Game had descended at three in the afternoon, many students had classes.

Therefore, many of the dormitories were empty.

And even for the dormitories with people inside, the doors were all tightly shut to prevent the Dimensional Bugs from breaking in and attacking.

The situation on the first floor was still fine, with only a few doorways blocked by Dimensional Bugs.

The situation on the second floor was much more dangerous; the corridor was crawling with bugs.

However, to Yuan Feng and the others, it wasn't much of a threat.

Yuan Feng blasted out a Dragon Flame Burst, and the bugs died in large numbers.

Even Luan Yuling's Wind Blades, with her increasing proficiency, took down one Dimensional Bug per strike—it couldn't be any easier.

The speed-Talent user Xu Gongqing, also relying on the weapon he had just obtained from Qi Feng, fought heartily and hacked down quite a few bugs.

Han Xueying's B-Level Holy Light Talent could restore her teammates' energy and physical strength, while also possessing the ability to heal wounds.

As for Lin Chuan.

He didn't participate in fighting the monsters, being responsible for burning the corpses the entire time.

Having burned all the Dimensional Bugs on the first and second floors, his four basic attributes had doubled, all exceeding 2 points.

In terms of attributes, he had already surpassed Yuan Feng, who had received the +1 to all attributes reward.

Yuan Feng also obtained the three Dimensional Bug crystal nuclei that Lin Chuan had gotten from burning the corpses.

Since each person could only absorb ten crystal nuclei per day anyway, Yuan Feng directly gave all three of these crystal nuclei to Luan Yuling.

Obviously, he had a good impression of Luan Yuling and wanted to pursue her both openly and secretly.

However, having witnessed Yuan Feng being defeated by Lei Ming earlier, Luan Yuling's admiration for his strength had already faded.

Facing Yuan Feng's deliberate attempts to please her, she no longer felt the initial sense of being flattered.

Having cleared the first two floors, the sky gradually darkened.

Everyone felt a bit anxious.

After all, according to Yuan Feng, each person could only absorb ten crystal nuclei per day.

If they didn't absorb ten on the first day, this first day would be equivalent to being wasted in vain.

And with less than six hours left until the end of the first day...

At this rate, probably only Yuan Feng and Luan Yuling would be able to reach Level 1 on the first day.

This inevitably made Han Xueying and Xu Gongqing feel some anxiety and resentment.

They felt that a captain like Yuan Feng was simply too biased.

Yuan Feng also faintly realized this, so he decided to increase their speed in killing monsters.

At the same time, he added, "Some people in these dormitories might have been attacked. Once we finish clearing the monsters we can see, we'll check every dormitory, and while we're at it, we can look for the white treasure chests Qi Feng mentioned."

He didn't state it explicitly.

But everyone guessed it.

His so-called checking of the dormitories wasn't just to look for treasure chests.

More importantly, it was to find human corpses and then burn them to obtain crystal nuclei.

Only in this way would the speed of accumulating crystal nuclei be fast!

Thus, everyone's emotions were smoothed over by him once again, and they followed him up to the third floor.

Unexpectedly, while they had anticipated that there would be even more Dimensional Bugs on the third floor than on the second...

...as it turned out, there were only two or three slowly crawling Dimensional Bugs in the third-floor corridor.

Yuan Feng instantly grew somewhat angry. Only after knocking on several dormitory doors did he learn from a student—

...that there was actually an A-Level Talent user on the third floor of South Three as well!

Relying on their Talent, that person had already cleared most of the Dimensional Bugs on the third floor!

Not only that, but that person had also formed a team and gone up to the fourth floor!

The anger in Yuan Feng's heart burned even hotter. He quickly led his team to clear the remaining Dimensional Bugs on the third floor, then hurried up to the fourth floor.

As it turned out, the situation on the fourth floor was similar to the third. In plain sight, very few Dimensional Bugs could be seen, clearly having been cleared out as well!

At this point, Yuan Feng's expression finally became extremely unsightly.

Looking at his team members, he instructed, "This floor has also been cleared by someone, and the remaining bugs are very scattered. Let's split up and try to clear this floor as quickly as possible."

The others didn't have any objections.

After all, hacking down Dimensional Bugs really didn't pose much danger.

After saying that, Yuan Feng looked at Lin Chuan again and ordered, "You, stay by my side."

He said this not to protect Lin Chuan in particular.

Rather, Lin Chuan's Talent was special, and the corpses he burned left almost no trace behind.

Whereas if others used weapons to dig for crystal nuclei in the corpses, they would inevitably leave marks.

Obviously, Yuan Feng was afraid that Lin Chuan would use his Talent to embezzle crystal nuclei, so he wanted to keep a personal eye on him.

Lin Chuan had no objections to this; he was actually wanting to move together with Yuan Feng anyway!

Thus, the five people in the team—three men and two women—headed off in four different directions.

Following Yuan Feng, Lin Chuan took the initiative to say, "Let's go that way. My dorm is over there."

"Alright." Yuan Feng had no objections to this.
