various other materials the items were
diverse and abundant in number yet truly
valuable items were scarce the two
pieces of equipment obtained had little
durability left as they had likely been
swapped out during the recent battle the
remaining mechanical fragments were
pitifully few with only four acquired
indicating that her overall stock was
likely low this meant that the most
valuable equipment and materials would
almost certainly be exhausted during
combat the beach buggy caught her eye
she had no use for the broom and
intended to trade it to other teammates
gu tontion swiftly reviewed the items
planning to dispose of the useless
scraps at the trading post to exchange
for materials ensuring that she could
upgrade the shelter by tomorrow at the
latest after opening the treasure chest
she retrieved the broom and called her
two small companions over chirp where
are we headed to luong's shelter guonan
replied cooly surprising the rat-like
creature chirp are we going to empty his
house guon tion offered no further
response having killed the man and
opened the Relic Treasure Chest she
certainly would not hesitate to claim
the resources within the shelter The
Relic treasure chest was randomly
obtained from a player system backpack
but the items within the shelter could
potentially be entirely claimed however
upon arrival gonon felt a twinge of
disappointment as expected the valuable
items had been secured leaving the Stone

inhumane thoughts if she were to act in
such a manner it would be little

relic Treasure Chest before such
thoughts had never crossed her mind this
Relic treasure chest felt akin to
Pandora's Box capable of evoking the
basest aspects of human nature how many
play would fall prey to its Temptation
in this Survival game where morality was
steadily eroding internal struggles
would diminish and demons would
proliferate I in the end could they
still be called humans more fearsome
than beasts animals cease hunting once
satiated yet human desires are
insatiable what is the system doing is
its purpose merely to witness Humanity's
Mutual Slaughter to breed malice before
gu Tintin's eyes a vision of blood Mist
seemed to unfold corpses strewn about
whales echoing for Miles her gaze
sharpened if she wished to avoid being
killed to resist being transformed by
the system into a mere killing machine
she must grow stronger strong enough
that none would dare to Target her
strong enough to act at will killing
when she chose sparing when she wished a
bountiful Relic Treasure Chest did not
lead gonon to lose her moral compass
rather it fortified her resolve and
crystallized her objectives in truth she
was unaware that her substantial worth
rendered her less impressed by the
treasure chest yet for other ordinary
players such a reward would be
