Chapter 97: Undying Totem

There are three boxes in total: one special supply box, one gold supply box; they are respectively the clearance reward of the Hell-level Instance and the first-place reward of this region's Hell-level Instance.

The remaining one is an old friend—it's the special equipment box that dropped the Abyssal Ring, that flashy special equipment box!

New equipment is coming.

Cheng Shuili didn't rush to open the other two, but directly opened the seven-color equipment box!

【Verifying player qualifications...】

【Identity confirmed: Cheng Shuili】

【Special equipment box is opening.】

Cheng Shuili suddenly snapped shut the opened lid.

Cheng Shuili: "!"

She forgot something very important.

Although this kind of box won't yield something terrible, who wouldn't hope to get something especially good and useful?!

Cheng Shuili opened the group chat.

【Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji】: @Liang Shan Bo Yu Zhu Ying Lai, rubbing off some luck.

【Liang Shan Bo Yu Zhu Ying Lai】:???

【Xin Xue Chuji】:???

【Wan Yi】: Boss? Is that really you?

After sending that, Cheng Shuili closed the small group, she excitedly rubbed her hands, and reopened the box she had forced shut.

Just like last time, when the equipment box fully opened, a column of light shot straight into the clouds; Cheng Shuili, practiced, covered her eyes and peered through the gaps between her fingers to see what was inside.

It was a... tile?

A tile?

After the light completely faded, Cheng Shuili finally saw what it was.

A square tile with strange patterns drawn on its surface.

She had made a wish to Liang Shan Bo; it shouldn't turn out too bad, right?

How is Liang Shan Bo like a lucky god?!

Cheng Shuili laughed at herself; the rewards were already opened, they certainly wouldn't turn into something else. She sighed, carefully picking up the tile at the bottom of the equipment box.

Hope this thing, like the Abyssal Ring, gives her another surprise!

Undying Totem

【Description: The greatness of the Undying Totem is unique in the world! The greatness of the Undying Totem is unique in the world! The greatness of the Undying Totem is unique in the world! Believe in the great faith! Join the great evolution! Worship the great deity!】

Cheng Shuili abruptly lifted her head, pulling her gaze away from those lines of text.

Upon seeing those lines of text, she actually felt an urge to shout them out loud!

Is this some evil cult MLM scene?

She frowned and reopened the item description; the text there had actually changed.

Undying Totem

【Description: You saw through the falsehood; the Undying Totem rewards you with three marks. When a player dies, one mark of the Undying Totem will be deducted, and the player's death memory will be retained, reviving the player on the spot! If you're unlucky and die immediately after reviving in a trap, well, sorry~】

Despicable.

If this truly meant endless reviving in a trap, it wouldn't be revival—it would be torture.

Cheng Shuili: "..."

Alright, anyway it's three lives.

Three extra lives!

Thinking this way, I feel the equipment isn't bad.

Cheng Shuili carefully examined the usage conditions; this item takes effect automatically, from the moment she obtains it, no matter where she puts it, it will work.

Moreover... this item doesn't show who it's bound to, but Cheng Shuili can indeed feel that it's already bound to her.

Cheng Shuili narrowed her eyes, trying hard to press down the corners of her mouth, but still couldn't.

She likes this nature!

It looks unbound to players but actually already bound to her! Since others can't tell, if she takes this out to swindle supplies...

The more Cheng Shuili thought, the brighter her eyes became; who doesn't love getting something for nothing?

Especially those who have offended Cheng Shuili—if they suddenly get hit with this, just ask them if they're angry!

She was feeling happy when a system pop-up suddenly appeared.

【Undying Totem (non-tradable)】

Cheng Shuili: "..."

Can this thing read minds?

【Friendly tip: All special equipment binds upon acquisition; unless the player dies, equipment cannot be traded! Guard against player fraud!】

The system was summarizing this Instance when it suddenly glitched and inserted this passage.

Region channel: "???"

Cheng Shuili likewise: "???"

This is blatant targeting!!

"What is special equipment?"

"Fraud? What photo fraud? What photos? Show me your legs?"

"The upstairs is also a longtime pervert."

"We shouldn't inquire about such big shots' stuff."

Cheng Shuili closed the regional channel.

Fine, she just won't sell it.

Cheng Shuili placed the Undying Totem into the Abyssal Ring.

Spatial ring, handy! Undying Totem, life‑saver! All good stuff!

Cheng Shuili shifted her gaze to the remaining two loot items; the Golden Supplies Box was rather dull, but she was very interested in the Special Supplies Box that appeared for the first time!

This thing is called the Special Supplies Box, the colorful one is called the Special Equipment Box—no matter how you look at it, they're of the same lineage.

What comes out of it probably won't be bad, right?

Cheng Shuili flung open the Special Supplies Box; unlike what she imagined, the supplies didn't appear directly at the bottom—instead, a pop‑up window suddenly sprang up before her.

【Please select supplies type】

【Safety Protection Supplies: randomly obtain an item that can safeguard life! Possibly body armor, shield, etc.!】

【Practical Technology Supplies: randomly obtain an appliance that fully embodies modern technology! Possibly a television, router, etc.!】

Router?

When Cheng Shuili saw those three words, she was genuinely stunned—what does this mean?

Can she connect to the internet in this highway survival world?

If she had a phone, could she go online?

Cheng Shuili: "???"

Then can she look things up online? Does the system's function still exist?

A flood of questions instantly popped into her mind, but choosing now would be too hasty, so she continued reading on.

【Survival Supplies: randomly obtain a consumable that can sustain life or improve quality of life! Possibly canned food, energy drinks, etc.!】

Only these three options.

Cheng Shuili directly ruled out the last option; the chef is right beside her, every day it's either meat or vegetables, all fresh.

To her, eating canned food isn't improving life—it's destitution.

As for the remaining two options, Cheng Shuili really feels torn.

One is home appliances—whether a TV that provides entertainment or a mysterious router, Cheng Shuili is somewhat inclined to want it.

Not to mention the washing machine she's been longing for a long time.

Who understands the feeling of redemption when, after piling up a box of dirty clothes, one discovers a washing machine?!

Cheng Shuili doesn't really get it, but she hopes she'll understand someday!

The polar cold‑proof gear definitely can't be taken off now—that is, she'll have to keep wearing those dirty clothes until the extreme cold ends.

This is something Cheng Shuili absolutely cannot tolerate.
