Chapter 228: Truly There Is Eternal Night (Revised)

As for the remaining four blue boxes, who exactly dropped them, Lin Yifan already can't remember.

However, the alien race capable of dropping blue boxes, no matter their status or life tier, are absolutely not weak.

Therefore, what can be obtained from these four boxes is likely to be extraordinary.

Of course, these four blue boxes certainly didn't disappoint him; although each contains only one item, they are all top-notch treasures.

Three of them are weapons: a bronze-grade longsword, a bronze-grade bow, and a bronze-grade spear.

Lin Yifan already has the Wind-Chasing Cloud-Breaking Bow, also bronze-grade; he also has a greatsword he forged himself, which is only black iron-grade, but he finds it very comfortable to use, so he doesn't plan to replace it.

However, he has also planned that, after finding new materials later, he will get a similar blueprint to upgrade that black iron greatsword.

As for that spear, although he likes it, he doesn't know how to use a spear, so he can only admire it.

As for how to handle these three weapons, Lin Yifan already has a plan.

The people he trusts most beside him are Hong Shaoqiang and Ruan Qingtian; Hong Shaoqiang happens to be skilled in swordsmanship, so that greatsword is perfect for him.

As for Ruan Qingtian, although she originally wanted to be a support staff, given the current crises, he also needs some means of self-defense.

Ranged attacks relatively have lower requirements; as long as aim is good, they can inflict decent damage, so the bronze bow is most suitable for her.

As for that spear, there's currently no one who matches it, but the district merge will start soon; after the district merge ends, using it to exchange for supplies would be appropriate.

Although these three bronze-grade weapons are precious, for Lin Yifan the most precious thing is actually the last item.

This is a scroll, its appearance identical to an ordinary scroll.

Inside the scroll, however, is a painting of a heavenly ox, lifelike.

【Heavenly Ox Contemplation Diagram (Unique): By attentively viewing this diagram for one hour, intelligence can be permanently increased by 1 point.】

A diagram that can continuously increase intelligence!

Lin Yifan doesn't know why such a thing exists, but the physical object is truly precious!

Being able to permanently increase intelligence!

So far, Lin Yifan's intelligence has increased to 55 points due to several talent awakenings.

However, when he simultaneously activates the Eternal Freeze Domain and Extreme Speed Ice Flash, this amount of intelligence is far from enough to sustain the consumption.

He can only last five minutes before his intelligence is exhausted, causing a splitting headache and even fainting.

Lin Yifan has always been thinking of ways to increase his intelligence, but so far the methods to gain attribute points are just a few: either try to obtain a grand reward, which may randomly grant some random attribute points, or go look for attribute fruits.

But so far, aside from heavenly disaster rewards, other rewards basically never give random attribute points.

As for attribute fruits, they are even harder to find; only Mao Mao had found a few before, and after that there has been no trace.

The last resort is opening treasure chests, but low-level chests basically yield nothing, while high-level chests depend on probability.

So no matter which method, it all comes down to gambling on luck.

But luck is the hardest thing to fathom in this world, and also the most unreliable.

Now he can obtain something, a tool that can continuously increase intelligence, which is truly important.

Lin Yifan gently stroked the scroll, hesitated for a moment, but still put it away first.

The sky has already brightened; with daylight time growing shorter each day, the previous heavenly disaster was likely the Eternal Night Disaster.

However, according to the tendency of the Survival Realm, the solution cannot be merely Eternal Night; it will inevitably be accompanied by other crises, so preparations must still be made beforehand.

More importantly, Lin Yifan now controls the World Stone; for the entire district, he can go anywhere.

Such a good opportunity, he naturally cannot let it pass!

Moreover, he still needs Airiliya to guide his martial arts, so daytime must absolutely not be wasted.

Now that it's daytime, Lin Yifan also doesn't want to waste time, so he directly opens all the remaining green treasure chests.

The contents of the green treasure chests are basically various materials, as well as some daily necessities or food.

Lin Yifan lacks neither daily necessities nor food, so he only selected some useful items from them, and dumped the rest into the Trading Hall.

As for the various materials, most are intermediate materials, but some are advanced materials.

Although these materials may not necessarily be used now, he still needs to upgrade the shelter later, and these will be indispensable then.

So Lin Yifan didn't take them to trade; instead, he stored them all in the warehouse.

His shelter is a 3-bedroom, 2-living-room unit; besides his own bedroom and the operation room housing the operation platform, there is also an empty room used as a warehouse.

Currently it's stuffed full, all kinds of materials.

And just as Lin Yifan finished tidying up all the items, the door was knocked.

"Brother Yifan, are you up?"

Outside the door came Su Xiao xi's voice; Lin Yifan hurriedly opened the door, and indeed saw Su Xiao xi and Airiliya standing outside.

Upon seeing Lin Yifan, Airiliya immediately rolled her eyes and said unhappily:

"What state is the daylight in now? How come you only just got out of bed? Don't you know daylight time is precious? If you don't cherish the daylight time to gather supplies, when there is no daylight left, just see how you'll survive!"

Hearing this, Lin Yifan thought to himself, "As expected," then took the opportunity to let the two in while smiling and saying:

"I woke up long ago, but I've been busy with chores, thinking you might still be asleep, so I didn't come to call you."

"However, Princess Airiliya, what do you mean by what you just said? Could it be that this world will turn into an eternal night without daylight?"

"Yes!" Airiliya nodded and said matter-of-factly:

"This world enters an Eternal Night period every month; the Eternal Night period lasts two weeks, during which, unless you possess the Pure Spirit Flower, you cannot leave the shelter."

"That means, in that half month, you can only hide in the shelter living off your stores; if you don't stockpile enough supplies, you will eventually starve to death."

Saying this, Airiliya again pinched her fingertip and said:

"I've roughly observed that, since your daylight here is now only six hours left, according to the Survival Realm's pattern, your daylight will decrease by one hour each day going forward."

"So in six days, you will enter the Eternal Night period; then I wish you good luck!"
