Chapter 782: Greatness Needs No Words! Quickly Let Go of the Opportunity!
Thirty minutes ago.
"Huh~ this damned Planet is really cold as hell; the harsh environment is one thing, but there's not even a single windbreak."
Qin Yu Zhou muttered curses, arms crossed over his chest, hunching his body as he moved forward slowly.
If it weren't for the Work Uniform helping the player resist the harsh environment, even the strongest physique and layers of clothing would still be frozen into a statue.
Even so, he didn't dare linger long.
His limbs were stiff now, and blood flow was sluggish.
Especially his feet, the initial sting gradually turned into complete numbness.
He knew that if this continued, his nerves would inevitably necrose.
At that point, he would freeze to death on this icy Planet.
Crying to the heavens yields no answer, calling on the earth brings no response.
"Hold on a little longer!"
At the perilous moment, he could only soothe himself, encourage himself, and press on with sheer willpower.
Soon, he finally saw a Gate between the mountain masses.
The deep‑red door bore a Seal Mark of two large white characters—Exit!
"Finally found you..."
Qin Yu Zhou was overjoyed, hurried forward in big strides, opened the door and slipped inside.
The moment he entered, a wave of warmth swept over his whole body.
His frozen body did not recover instantly.
On the contrary, the sudden temperature shift made his skin sting.
He took two deep breaths, leaned against the wall and plopped down.
"I'm alive again!"
Qin Yu Zhou shook his head, dispelling the persistent drowsiness.
He cannot sleep now.
He must wait for the Innate Talent to finish Cooling, locate the cargo, and bring it back to the Spaceship.
He doesn't aim for the so‑called Contribution Leaderboard First.
After all, a single person cannot bring all the cargo back in one go.
The quantity is at least dozens; even counting everything, it would require four or five round trips.
Each round trip takes about one and a half hours.
Along the way, he must not only endure the severe cold but also stay wary of Monsters that may appear.
This deal is not worth a single cent!
For Qin Yu Zhou, he has what others lack; he only needs to avoid elimination.
"Those guys are probably still stuck, searching the Gate for an exit," Qin Yu Zhou chuckled maliciously.
They could never have imagined that he actually survived.
Not only that, he also pinpointed the exact location of the cargo.
"As the saying goes, Heaven never blocks a person's way; a loss may be a blessing. Though I was only half a step from death, I escaped the crisis and stepped onto a bright road."
Had that incident not occurred, even knowing the cargo's location would not have allowed Qin Yu Zhou an easy escape.
After all, Su Yang knows Qin Yu Zhou's background.
He would certainly not let Qin Yu Zhou go alone.
Thus, not only would he expose himself to danger, but also be used as a Blind Dog to help locate the cargo.
Qin Yu Zhou is unwilling to take such a loss.
"I want to see how you, all at Zero Contribution Degree, cope with the Last-place Elimination System!" Qin Yu Zhou thought to himself.
Fifteen minutes later, the Innate Talent finally finished Cooling.
Qin Yu Zhou slowly rose, feeling his fully recovered body, a hint of a smile curling his mouth.
Immediately, his eyes radiated, and the building's internal network was scanned via Spiritual Thread.
Soon, he 'saw' the mountain‑piled cargo.
"Found you all!"
Qin Yu Zhou's smile deepened, and he immediately ran along the predetermined route.
There wasn't a single Monster nearby, so he could act boldly without worry.
No need to fear danger.
Soon, he slipped through seven or eight Gates, winding his way to a room.
He saw a dazzling array of cargo stacked in a pyramid shape.
"Rusted metal sheets, biscuit models, egg beaters..."
"Direction Wheel, toothbrush, mug..."
"That is... a Cash Register?!"
Qin Yu Zhou's gaze fell on a black object, his eyes lighting up.
He hurried forward, lifted the Cash Register, and his helmet instantly displayed its value.
"It's worth 160 Star Coins—this is really a jackpot!" Qin Yu Zhou couldn't help but laugh heartily.
He recalled that yesterday he had toiled to death just to obtain a broken Cube-like Device.
Now, the loot he casually uncovered is enough to place him in the Undying Realm!
"Got it with no effort, take it!"
Qin Yu Zhou first placed the Cash Register on the ground, then casually grabbed a few small items and put them into his pocket.
Only when his thighs were bulging on both sides did he lift the Cash Register and walk back.
"Roughly estimating, this haul is at least four hundred Star Coins, more than enough!" Qin Yu Zhou thought to himself.
After only two steps, he suddenly recalled today's KPI standard and immediately hesitated.
"No, if the KPI can't be met, everyone on the ship will die…"
Does that mean we have to make another run?
Or perhaps…
Hint the other players to the cargo location, letting them fetch it themselves?
Qin Yu Zhou didn't wrestle with it for long; he simply decided to "start over."
Since the KPI isn't met, he'll make up the shortfall!
So he tossed all the small items from his trouser pocket onto the pile and sifted through it for high‑value goods.
"Perfume bottle 98 Star Coins? Got it!"
"Golden cup 78 Star Coins… also taken!"
"Soda water 85 Star Coins, is this thing really that valuable?"
After a round of sorting, Qin Yu Zhou finally reached six hundred Star Coins.
He lowered his head to look at his "Masterpiece" and nodded in satisfaction.
Contributing a spot to make a wedding dress for others—whoever likes it does it.
Anyway, he won't let those with no achievements sit and reap the benefits!
Since other players can't reach here, he'll complete the KPI alone.
Just thinking of the surprised expressions they'll show when they see his results tonight.
Qin Yu Zhou couldn't help but boast, "Hard work yields great merit; greatness needs no words!"
He then checked the time; it was almost noon, twelve o'clock.
When he returns, Mei Mei can still nap.
Recalling this, Qin Yu Zhou lifted the Cash Register and retraced his steps.
Although it added considerable weight, the one holding the treasure always moves with full vigor.
He found his steps were much lighter than before.
A brisk stride like flying!
Reaching the exit, Qin Yu Zhou took a deep breath, opened the door, and stepped out.
The familiar biting cold assaulted him, and Qin Yu Zhou pressed on through the heavy snow.
Before entering, he had already memorized the route, so now he only needed to return by memory.
Of course, to avoid possibly encountering Monsters on the way, he would stick close to the cliff wall, and if he were truly unlucky, he'd still have a chance to catch his breath.
"Hmm?"
After only a few steps, Qin Yu Zhou sensed something was off.
He noticed his earlier footprints hadn't been covered by the deep snow.
Instead, they were clearly exposed.
Just like…
Someone deliberately erased the covering.
Qin Yu Zhou seemed to recall something and thought, "Not good!"
Just as he mustered all his strength to sprint, a lazy voice suddenly came from behind.
"Qin, put down the Fate Opportunity in your hand."
At those words, Qin Yu Zhou was like a mouse spotting a cat.
Even though he was in a severe cold, his spine still chilled.
Bone‑deep cold!
He didn't look back; with Epinephrine surging, he fled desperately.
"How did he find this?" Qin Yu Zhou stared in disbelief.
Su Yang watched his frantic escape Silhouette, clicked his tongue, and said, "Can't you understand human speech?"
"I told you to put it down!"
