89: K3 benefits

"100,000 performance points, that's really expensive."

The exchange price for a pollution-environmental bronze treasure chest was as high as 100,000 performance points.

This price, for the Han Fei of before, wouldn't have deterred him, but its cost-effectiveness was truly regrettable.

Opening a treasure chest once only yielded a mere forty to fifty thousand performance points.

Even with the Infinite Matryoshka Plug-in, he could barely break even.

But now, Han Fei's good luck had greatly improved; each time he opened a treasure chest, the performance points he gained surged like a spring tide, three times or even more than before.

Such a significant increase meant a guaranteed profit, allowing Han Fei to purchase many bronze environmental protection treasure chests.

After weighing his options, Han Fei bought 10 pollution-environmental bronze treasure chests in one go.

This was his absolute confidence in his own luck.

What followed was the painful yet joyful process of opening treasure chests and Cultivating.

Han Fei's good luck, like a magnet attracting iron filings, caused the "rewards" within the treasure chests to gush out, and garbage surged like a torrent.

Its quantity and scale were several times greater than before.

Even though Han Fei's Cleaning Superpower had reached the pinnacle of the first level, facing this overwhelming tide of garbage, he felt an unprecedented pressure and fatigue.

After continuously opening two treasure chests, even with his Physique, he had to rest for a while to recover his stamina and spirit.

However, Han Fei was unwilling to easily exhaust the precious time of his good luck magic, so he decided to ask Luna if she had any methods to quickly boost his stamina.

Luna had eaten so many of Han Fei's magic cakes and had a good impression of him.

So, upon hearing his request, Luna generously said, "I have a stamina recovery magic suitable for you, called 'Essence Absorption.'"

"This magic allows you to filter out the purest energy essence from magic cakes when you eat them, and directly convert this energy into your stamina."

Upon hearing this, Han Fei was immediately overjoyed.

This magic was practically tailor-made for him.

He already needed to eat magic cakes to repair his magic Aptitude, which had been damaged by pollution sources.

Now, while enjoying delicious cakes, he could also recover his stamina; it was truly killing two birds with one stone.

Luna carefully taught Han Fei how to cast this magic.

This magic was not difficult; the key was to eat magic cakes.

With Han Fei's magic Aptitude, he quickly learned this magic.

He picked up a magic cake, put it in his mouth, and savored its sweetness.

Then, he closed his eyes, concentrated, silently recited the incantation in his mind, and cast the "Essence Absorption" magic.

As the magic took effect, Han Fei felt a warm current permeate his body from the cake, rapidly filling every inch of his skin and every bone marrow, instantly revitalizing his previously fatigued body with infinite energy.

After confirming that the magic could indeed boost his stamina, Han Fei eagerly took a cake and bid farewell to Luna.

Then, without hesitation, he immediately plunged back into opening treasure chests and Cultivating.

With the help of the cakes, Han Fei didn't need any rest and opened treasure chests non-stop, like a machine.

Time quietly passed without him noticing; over ten hours went by, and Han Fei didn't feel the slightest bit of weariness.

It wasn't until a voice reached his ears that he stopped Cultivating.

'Congratulations, Han Fei, your performance points have exceeded ten million, and you have dealt with at least ten pollution sources.'

'Your performance is exceptionally outstanding, meeting the promotion conditions for K3.'

'You have been promoted to K3: Cleaning Main Force.'

'For more benefits, please check the company System.'

Han Fei immediately danced with excitement.

"Finally promoted to K3! Hahaha!"

Since K3 was so difficult to get promoted to, the benefits must be substantial.

Han Fei immediately checked the company System for his newly acquired benefits.

'Your benefits have received the following upgrades:'

'One: You can exchange for more items in the employee store. Due to your excellent performance, the company has specially granted you product discount privileges.'

'Two: Absorbing garbage containing pollution sources can greatly evolve your Superpower and has a certain probability of improving your Superpower Aptitude.'

'Three: Your monthly basic salary has increased from 5,000 treasure chest coins to 100,000 treasure chest coins.'

'Four: Each month, the company will issue special clear-out missions for you. Upon completion, you will receive substantial rewards from the company.'

Upon seeing the details of the benefit upgrades, Han Fei's eyes widened, clearly shocked by these unexpected surprises.

The first three benefit upgrades were similar to the previous ones, but with clear and significant improvements.

Han Fei couldn't help but gasp, marveling at the company's generosity.

He carefully savored the content of each benefit, the light in his eyes growing brighter.

Han Fei planned to open the store later to check the specific changes in the first benefit.

The magnitude of the second benefit's improvement was simply astonishing.

Previously, when Han Fei absorbed garbage containing pollution sources, it could only slightly enhance his Superpower, with each improvement being so minuscule it was almost imperceptible.

But this time, the company's new benefit claimed that absorbing pollution sources could greatly evolve his Superpower.

Han Fei believed that this time, the effect would far exceed before, bringing about a very noticeable improvement.

What surprised Han Fei even more was that absorbing garbage containing pollution sources could even improve Superpower Aptitude!

He knew that his biggest problem all along was the lack of sufficient Superpower Aptitude.

And now, this problem seemed to be solvable, which made Han Fei incredibly excited and overjoyed.

Next, his attention turned to the changes in the third benefit.

The treasure chest coins had suddenly skyrocketed from the original 5,000 to 100,000!

It had directly multiplied by 20 times, which was ridiculously exaggerated!

However, when he saw the fourth benefit, he couldn't help but frown.

Special missions?

Han Fei couldn't imagine what kind of missions they would be.

He decided to ask the company System directly.

"How often will special missions be issued? What kind of missions are they specifically?"

"Usually issued once every 7 to 10 days. Specific mission content cannot be disclosed in advance."

"Only once in such a long time." Han Fei shook his head, not planning to dwell on it for now.

After sorting out his thoughts, Han Fei opened the company store, eager to see what new and interesting things had appeared with this benefit upgrade.

... There were hundreds of such cleaning techniques, making Han Fei dizzy.

"If I learned all of these, I would never have to fear pollution sources again!"

However, for now, Han Fei could only dream.

To learn all these cleaning techniques would cost at least 10 million performance points, and also require a lot of time to Cultivate. How could Han Fei possibly have that kind of time now?

In addition to these hundreds of new cleaning techniques, some special equipment also appeared.

'Disposable Elementary Cleaning Gloves: 120,000 performance points (9% discount available)'

'Daily limit of 10 pairs of gloves.'

'Description: When worn, can increase the power of Cleaning Superpower by three levels. Durability is poor, and breakage may occur during use.'

'Daily limit of 5 pairs of goggles.'

'Description: When worn, can protect both eyes from the effects of pollution sources. Durability is very poor, and breakage is highly likely to occur during use.'

... There were over fifty such cleaning equipment items, most of which cost more than 100,000 performance points, and all had quantity restrictions, so they couldn't be bought indefinitely.

"I can buy some of these when dealing with Garbage Monsters in the future."

Last time, when dealing with that completely black Garbage Monster, if he had had this equipment, Han Fei might not have lost to it.

These cleaning equipment items provided a very significant boost to Superpower and could also effectively curb pollution sources, making them Sharp Weapons against Garbage Monsters.

After a quick browse, Han Fei wasn't in a hurry to buy anything.

His current priority was still to buy a large number of pollution-environmental bronze treasure chests to improve his performance points and Cleaning Superpower.

"Huh, what is this...?"

Suddenly, Han Fei discovered an interesting item in the vast list of goods.

'pollution source Piggy Bank: 300,000 performance points (5% discount available)'

'Daily limit of 1.'

'Description: When you absorb garbage containing pollution sources, a portion of the pollution sources will enter your piggy bank. The more pollution sources stored in the piggy bank, the more special rewards you will receive when you break it open.'

"Special rewards?"

Han Fei curiously asked the company System what kind of special rewards there were.

"Special rewards include, but are not limited to: special environmental protection treasure chests, environmental protection equipment, environmental protection Superpower, environmental protection Physique, and so on."

"Oh, that's interesting."

Han Fei immediately exchanged for one.

The piggy bank, originally 300,000 performance points, only cost 150,000 performance points due to the 5% discount.

The pollution source Piggy Bank looked like a golden trash can, and its size was similar to a regular trash can.

After placing it aside, Han Fei immediately began opening treasure chests and Cultivating.

As a pollution-environmental bronze treasure chest was opened, a large amount of garbage gushed out.

Han Fei, as before, used his Superpower to quickly absorb it.

'Performance points +221'

'pollution source +0.024'

'Piggy Bank +0.004'

... Due to the increase in luck, Han Fei could now obtain a large amount of pollution sources with just a casual absorption.

Each time he absorbed pollution sources, about one-fifth of the amount was absorbed by the piggy bank.

After several hours passed, the piggy bank absorbed a large amount of pollution sources, and its color changed from its previous golden yellow to dark gold.

At the same time, Han Fei also found that the piggy bank had become heavier; it was light before, but now it felt weighty.

Shaking it, he could hear the sound of coins clinking inside, as if it really contained gold coins.
