Chereads / The Apocalypse of Hungry World / Chapter 4 - Treasure Chest

Chapter 4 - Treasure Chest

Adam hurriedly looked at the unknown plant in front of him.

More than half a meter high, the leaves are slender and grow thickly.

Then Adam waved a kitchen knife and dropped a leaf.

*Hungry World: Tamarind Leaf.*

*Sour leaves +1.*

Adam smelled the aroma that was in the tamarind leaves and it felt strange because there was also a slight smell of milk.

Adam started eating the tamarind leaves in a panic.

After biting it continuously, the liquid juice present in the tamarind leaves started to flow into the stomach.

The dense-toothed mouse bit the hazelnut mushroom again, finally discovering that the hazelnut mushroom was a trick, and its eyes showed anger. The dense-toothed mouse looked intently in the direction where Adam's scent was.

When the tamarind leaf juice liquid flows into the stomach it is absorbed.

*Sour leaves -1*

*Human scent: 0.*

*Congratulations on finding a way to reduce the human scent that lingers on your body*

*When human scent reaches 0, no creature can smell your scent.*

"So refreshing!"

Adam finally put down the remaining tamarind leaves in his hands and lay on his side in a relaxed position.

Clumps of these tamarind leaves can cover his entire body.

Now that the human scent has disappeared, it is completely safe.

It's just that his legs still don't have the strength, and the run just now has greatly exhausted Adam's physical strength. So he couldn't go anywhere for now.

A dense-toothed rat not far away that had initially woken up from the fooling of its prey started to frantically rip apart the hazelnut mushroom, which flew through the air and then fell to the ground.

The solid-toothed mouse angrily picked up a hazelnut mushroom that had fallen to the ground and started looking for Adam.

Due to the loss of the human scent, the dense-toothed rats couldn't pick up the scent on Adam's body and began to wander around, seemingly searching for the footprints of their prey.

"Hahaha, search slowly until you find me!" Adam involuntarily laughed.

Then Adam saw a secret hidden clue suddenly appear in front of him again. Then he found that the arrowhead was shaking violently.

Point it straight down your nose.

[The Treasure Pot, a hungry world treasure, which contains the world's gifts for you.]

Adam saw a green treasure chest in front of him, which was very much the color of a tamarind leaf, and he didn't find it now at a dangerous moment.

*Hungry World: Congratulations on finding the treasure pot, do you want to open it?*

What a friendly hidden clue! It really gave a new lead direction to Adam who had just cleared the crisis.

"Open!"

The green treasure pot lit up, and a red light appeared within.

It was a pile of burning charcoal.

They were all cylindrical charcoal, neatly arranged, and glowing a faint red.

[Charcoal, is a good source of ignition. It can heat food to make it more delicious and avoid bacterial growth.]

[Charcoal can be used to burn dead branches which will be useful for making bonfires.]

[Fire charcoal can be thrown at certain times to attack, especially hairy monsters who are very afraid of burning coal.]

[Lastly, there is a secret that charcoal can increase the level of the kitchen knife in your hand and become sharper.]

*Hungry World: Charcoal.*

Hints from a hungry world have always been very slow and simple.

The secret hidden clue that had appeared had made Adam's eyes light up, and he hastily took out a kitchen knife and placed it on the coals.

The charcoal started to burn vigorously when it met the kitchen knife, and the hot flames roasted the blade of the kitchen knife.

Slowly, the kitchen knife was getting hotter, blushing.

[In order to achieve the best time for cooling, please put the kitchen knife into the water for cooling.]

Water?

Isn't that a puddle that just tripped over itself?

Adam took the wooden handle of the kitchen knife and held the kitchen knife burning red, crawled forward, and propped half of his body off the ground of the tamarind leaves. Then plunge the kitchen knife into the puddle.

An explosion.

A plume of thick blue smoke rose from the pool of water.

The water immediately boils.

Pssh! Pssh! Pshh!

When boiling, water vapor continues to evaporate.

The red color on the kitchen knife gradually disappeared and turned cyan.

There is less water in the puddle.

Finally, it all evaporated.

Green smoke spread out, and the kitchen knife in Adam's hand gave off a cold light.

Sure enough, it became sharper than before!

*Kitchen knife: level 2. Can kill mice and harvest Ashwagandha, elm tree branches, and poplar plants. You can also send pictures when used for chat.*

*Hungry World: congratulations on upgrading your kitchen knife, your kitchen knife has now reached level 2.*

The cooling sound and green smoke escaping attracted the bush-toothed rat's attention.

After the blue smoke cleared, the dense-toothed rat finally found Adam's location.

The solid-toothed rat swooped down on Adam who was currently still weak.

Opening its mouth wide, its bushy teeth double row up and down, getting closer and closer to Adam.

Just a few centimeters away from Adam, the sound of a gust of wind appeared.

Slash!

Adam chopped down the solid-toothed rat with his recently upgraded kitchen knife.

bang!

The dense-toothed rat fell to the ground in response.

After shaking for a few seconds, finally, the solid-toothed mouse died.

"Sure enough, a level 2 kitchen knife is sharper than a level 1 kitchen knife." Adam was shocked after seeing how smoothly the solid-toothed rat's body was cut.

Adam also used up the last traces of his physical strength.

*Hungry World: Solid-toothed rat, that can be decomposed and recycled, do you want to recycle?*

"Yes!"

*Solid-toothed rats have been recycled.*

*Mouse Skin +1.*

*Mouse meat +10.*

*Mouse Teeth +50.*

*Hazelnut mushroom: 1*

"Oh? Rat meat is automatically chopped to size? Good, at least the will of the hungry world is still useful!" Adam was surprised when he saw 10 pieces of meat fall to the ground along with other ingredients.

[Mouse skin: can make leather products.]

[Rat meat: It is a good thing to replenish hunger and restore physical strength, prolong hunger time, and make physical strength last longer, only humans with digestion above level 3 can eat raw dense-toothed rat meat that has bacteria.]

[Mouse teeth: Great material for making arrows.]

[Hazelnut mushroom: leftover food left in the stomach of the Dento-toothed Rat, hazelnut mushroom that can be mixed with chicken stew, can also be eaten alone, the taste of cooked food is better, raw food can also be used. It can quench hunger and replenish physical strength, which is the basic food required for humans of Trash Grade. The kitchen knife in your hand can harvest it.]

Adam had an extra pile of recyclables in his hands.

First, remove the hazelnut mushrooms and grill over charcoal for a while.

The hazelnut mushroom gives off a fragrant smell.

After all, it had been bitten by a solid-toothed rat, and sterilization was still required.

Adam ate this candlenut mushroom, his hunger quickly disappeared, and his physical strength began to recover. The kitchen knife that had just been turned had used its last bit of strength.

"Finally I can move again after filling my stomach with food!" Then Adam got up and found some pecan mushrooms that the bush-toothed rat had plucked out.

Continue grilling 2 hazelnut mushrooms to eat.

After eating 3 pecan mushrooms which were larger than steamed buns successively, Adam's physical strength had been replenished.

At the same time, the human scent started to increase.

Immediately ate 3 more tamarind leaves, making the human scent on his body disappear.

Adam calculated that when the human scent disappeared, the ratio of consuming the candlenut mushroom to the tamarind leaf was 1:1.

[Although the human smell has disappeared, but the sound generated by the activity just now, is likely to cause harm, so you must get out of here immediately.]

Looking at the properties panel, the human scent column has dropped to 0.

Unable to take in too many things, Adam could only hold a kitchen knife in one hand and a recycled solid-toothed rat material in the other, placing the charcoal and tamarind leaves in the treasure pot.

Walk back towards the Ashwagandha forest again.

This time, Adam didn't run, but walked slowly, in order to conserve physical strength, so it took a long time.

Finally arrived at a familiar forest.

[Ashwagandha forest, a multipurpose resource forest, you can harvest it with a kitchen knife in your hand.]

When the kitchen knife is upgraded, the hint of the ashwagandha forest also changes.

Adam took a kitchen knife and slashed at an Ashwagandha tree, and it broke right away.

bang!

*Ashwagandha tree, can be decomposed. Do you want to recycle?*

[Ashwagandha trees contain a lot of water and are drinkable since you don't have a water-holding device now, decomposition and recycling will cause all the water to drain into the ground.]

"What a timely hint! If I recycle now, I will only deplete water resources!"

"No need to recycle!"

At this moment, the chatter of hunger at the kitchen knife came alive again.

"Look at the news of the hungry world, an upgrade hint has appeared!"

View pinned messages.

*Hungry World: The dog cage, can be upgraded to the clay room, when upgraded to the clay room, the protection is enhanced, and at the same time, it can cover the smell and help you pass the unknown difficulty.*

"This unknown tribulation should be a famine wave three days later." Adam thought for a moment and remembered the hidden clue he had gotten from the dog kennel.

Solid-toothed rats will not miss a place that has the scent of humans, and great hunger will drive them like a tide through the forest, carrying away all the dog kennels.

The kennel's protection method is basically just camouflage, it doesn't have the strong resistance of protecting against hundreds of rats with dense teeth.

At this time, the Hungry World announced the conditions for upgrading the clay house.

*Clay Room Upgrade Conditions: Elm Branch: 50, Clay: 500, Ula Grass: 1000.*
