Chapter 537 - 394: Rewards Arrive, New Type of Treasure Chest! (Extra - for Alliance Leader Bai Shiyu!)

Gotta say, Bai is a bit of a wizard.

This guy’s chance of getting food when opening treasure chests is over fifty percent!

While Lin Yue was putting the various items Bai found in the Copper Treasure Chest into the Storage Space, he couldn’t stop marveling.

Bai was able to uncover game, noodles, snacks, even dried fruits and beef jerky, showing it off to him.

The most absurd thing was, Lin Yue actually saw that it contained Red Arrow chewing gum and bubble gum of all sizes, even stinky tofu appeared, which almost made him laugh till he cried.

Other things were in there too, especially what got Lin Yue excited: this time Bai uncovered a large number of area map fragments!

"98 area map fragments, and many added key points to the maps, totally worth it!"

Now, Lin Yue discovered that his area map fragments had almost completely filled in all of the Desert Region, with only about thirty to forty fragments left, mostly insignificant mountains and border regions!

He already possessed vital information for the Desert Zone!

"Oh? Even the south part is fully displayed now, no need for further exploration around."

This time, even the vicinity of the oil river in the south was completely displayed with details, down to marking the small lake he collected water from.

Lin Yue kept leafing through the area map tab on the system panel ceaselessly.

The more he flipped through, the more surprised he became.

At some point, the area map had considerably changed, with numerous new functionalities.

The previous functionalities remained, like the markings for shelters and his activity icons were still there.

His shelters and even the places he paved highways were covered with a light blue layer.

Lin Yue observed that from his shelter center, through the asphalt road eastward, past Belger Lake straight to the Nitrate Ore, this vast area was completely shaded in light blue, marking his territory.

The Sulfur Ore on the north stood alone, and the area stretching south to the oil river was also circled into his domain!

In this vast territory, the Nitrate Ore, Sulfur Ore, and oil were each marked with a black triangle, which was not there before.

Moreover, there was more.

Lin Yue also noticed that Bai and Meng were marked.

Whether in the Nitrate Ore black spot, Green Claw, or the red line troops near the oil river, at the main shelter, Bai, Meng, and other Little Ice Lizards were clearly marked with numbers and colors.

Bai and Meng were indicated with larger black light dots, Black Dot, Green Claw, Little Six, and Red Line were marked in deep blue, while the remaining Little Ice Lizards were shown in white.

This provided an intuitive way for him to check his side’s distribution and layout, ensuring no unexpected occurrences during peacetime.

In combat, it served as an aid for precise command issuances and troop deployments.

Indeed, it’s a rather convenient feature.

Looking at other areas, there were quite a few tiles shaded in various colors. At the center, Lin Yue could clearly see icons of Refugee Villages marked with black squares.

Click on any, surrounded by white dots, pointing to Survivors.

Lin Yue glanced diagonally upward, and Fei Yue’s Refugee Village, shaded in the same blue, indicated some relationship with his area.

"I still don’t quite get if the system views Fei Yue as an ally or if I’m controlling him?"

Lin Yue felt that currently Fei Yue was indeed a formidable new force, ranking ninth worldwide, which said a lot.

Speaking of control, the other party’s freedom was high; while some resources were shared, there was no direct order issuance, remaining a close cooperative relationship.

"Perhaps it’s... an alliance?" Lin Yue pondered over scattered similar colored blocks over the Desert.

While Desert forces were distinctly colored, truly similar colors were scarce.

Given the vast expanse of the Desert Region, Refugee Village territories weren’t bordering yet, some distantly apart, clearly not identical colors just to differentiate territories.

The relationship with Fei Yue indeed seemed more like an alliance, apparently no intent to betray him.

In this Otherworld, an extra reliable alliance posed no disadvantage.

Though Lin Yue believed the world’s Survivors, Mutants, Lizardmen, and beggars couldn’t pose a threat to him in offense and defense, one never knows when an "Anti-Lin Yue Alliance" might spring to attack him.

If Fei Yue stood on the same front then, he would feel somewhat more at ease.

Whether he offers help or not brings mental comfort.

He could then, without qualms, take out everyone else.

Now, are these new area map features visible to all, or just him?

Glancing at the world channel, and key-word searching, Lin Yue found it seemed only visible to him.

"Fei Yue, has your area map undergone any changes?" Since the system didn’t specify, better to ask this ’little ally.’

Soon, Fei Yue replied.

"I just returned from the Secret Realm, profitable this time. Regarding the area map, while battling monstrous fish and Lizardmen, we obtained plenty of treasure chests yielding map fragments."

Oh yes, they had been besieged by Lizardmen and Blind Hunting Fish.

[The other party has shared their area map with you, your area map is updated!]

What’s this? Directly shareable?

This time it’s different; unlike before, when Fei Yue sent photos of his revealed area map, updating Lin Yue’s with some fragments. This time there seems a new method?

[Congratulations, your Desert Zone area map collection rate reached 100%!]

[Unlocking all map functionalities in this region!]

[You became the first Survivor to achieve 100% area map collection rate]

[Congratulations! You received a reward!]

[You obtained: Palladium Treasure Chest!]

[The chest will be air-dropped soon!]

[The chest remains post-opening!]
