The First Battle, A Big Haul!

The two upgrade methods have their advantages and disadvantages.

The first one costs less and takes effect quickly, with the advantages after the upgrade being obvious at a glance.

The second one costs more, adding an electric device that can increase the speed of attack.

"Which one to choose?"

Looking at the spear in front of him, Su Mo hesitated a bit.

In his heart, he actually leaned towards the second option. After all, being able to use an electric device in an era where everyone is still making stone tools is definitely a qualitative change.

But "I choose the first one!"

Su Mo remembered the description of the Chameleon in the illustrated handbook.

Although this type of Chameleon has increased its camouflage ability after mutation, it has sacrificed its mobility.

Compared to the attack speed gained from 40 Survival Points, the first option is obviously more cost-effective.

Besides, if the electric device needs to be charged, there isn't even a vent in the base right now. If he wants to charge it, he can only use static electricity.

While Su Mo was thinking, the spear in front of him gradually took on a new color under the system's modification.

The reddish-yellow wood color clearly didn't transform the wooden spear into a metal or stone material.

[Beech Spear]: A brand new wooden spear with a delicate overall texture, its patterns resembling floating geese, and its quality as hard as iron, making its lethality very considerable.

"It's actually Beech wood!"

Seeing the attributes, Su Mo was both surprised and delighted.

Beech wood is one of the precious woods and a rare and good material for making cold weapons.

Compared to metal, the toughness of this wood is even more precious for someone without combat experience.

Being able to evolve such a level of wood with just 5 Survival Points, this change once again made Su Mo realize the power of the system.

"Now all that's missing is a set of protective gear. You definitely can't get injured in this wilderness!"

Opening the trading panel, Su Mo began to browse.

On January 2nd of the doomsday calendar, after a day, many people were forced to go out into the wild to seek survival and explore.

Although not many people found treasure chests, due to the base of billions of people, there was still some protective gear on the trading panel.

"I don't necessarily have to buy the best. I have the system, maybe I can buy it back and try to evolve it."

While looking around, Su Mo pondered to himself.

There are still 100ml of water in stock, and by the time he goes out at noon, he can probably save up about 200ml.

The purchasing power of this water can currently buy a slightly simple and bulky Pottery Armor on the market.

Pottery Armor is not advantageous against large creatures, but it is not bad against some small creatures due to the material.

After making up his mind, he waited until the sun was at its hottest at noon.

Su Mo first took out 200ml to buy the Pottery Armor, and then spent 50ml to buy back 300g of bread.

Along with the remaining water pear, after eating the bread and drinking 50ml of water, Su Mo's condition was completely restored.

Compared to the Chameleon squatting on the dry ground and waiting bitterly, Su Mo's attack at this time perfectly implemented the core idea of striking the enemy when they are tired.

"Wait, wait, wait a little longer."

Taking out the monster illustrated handbook and scanning again to confirm that the Chameleon was still there, Su Mo suppressed his impatience and began to take out the armor.

Pieces of earthy yellow tiles were interspersed together by unknown cotton threads, protecting the main parts of the body and legs according to their shape.

[Old Pottery Armor]

Upgrade direction 1: Increase defense, upgrade pottery materials, strengthen overall strength, requires Survival Points (5 points)
Upgrade direction 2: Upgrade the overall material, transform plasticity, different output depending on the materials invested, direct upgrade requires Survival Points (60)

Evaluation: This armor shouldn't be worn by you in battle, putting it in a museum might be its best destination.

As usual, Su Mo chose upgrade direction one again.

A flash of light.

The once worn-out armor instantly became glossy, emitting a peculiar scent.

[Hunter's Pottery Armor]: Excellent material, neat stitching, considerable defense, unique scent of hidden grass, can mask the hunter's body odor.

After laboriously putting on the improved Pottery Armor, Su Mo felt much more confident.

The importance of weapons and armor in the apocalypse is self-evident.

"Let's see where you run now, you beast!"

Opening the base door, holding the Beech Spear in both hands like someone holding a gun in a TV series, Su Mo strode directly towards the Chameleon's location.

Yesterday's felling had left the bushes in a mess.

Dry leaves were scattered all over the ground, obscuring the view and making it difficult to see the Chameleon's exact location.

However, it didn't matter.

Silently calling upon the Monster Encyclopedia in his mind to scan once more, a line of prompt popped up.

[Mutated Camouflage Chameleon detected 19 meters from the player, danger level 65, please proceed with caution]

[Today's attempts 0/3]

In his field of vision, Su Mo finally saw the Chameleon's appearance for the first time.

It wasn't lying on the ground; the cunning Chameleon was perched on the first tree that hadn't been felled yet.

If Su Mo hadn't discovered it today, the Chameleon's ambush during tree felling would definitely have hit home.

Finding the enemy, Su Mo restrained his steps, pretending to look around casually.

"I don't know if this beast has intelligence, but it's always better to be careful."

Walking slowly, waiting until only about two meters remained, Su Mo suddenly burst into his maximum speed, charging towards the Chameleon.

The Beech Spear, which had been hanging down in his hand, was raised and pointed straight ahead.

The Chameleon, perched on the tree, seemed to realize that its camouflage had been exposed and hurriedly tried to adjust its position.

Unfortunately, its clumsy reaction speed didn't allow it to make any evasive movements.

Charge, thrust, turn! A set of fluid movements! Although it was his first strike, his accuracy wasn't high, and he didn't hit the head, but the tip of the Beech Spear still accurately pierced the center of the Chameleon's body.

Pull! A streak of ghastly green blood was brought out, splattering on the bark below, emitting a scorched smell!

Seeing such potent poison, Su Mo pulled out the Beech Spear and retreated decisively.

The Chameleon, pierced with a bowl-sized hole, began to go berserk in its agony.

The constant loss of blood had completely robbed it of its reason, and it began to attack its surroundings furiously.

Green venom spewed continuously from the Chameleon's mouth, making the scene within a three-meter radius exceptionally terrifying.

"Hiss, this venom is really fierce."

While waiting, Su Mo looked down and his scalp went numb.

The tip of the Beech Spear was now covered with holes of all sizes, melting rapidly like ice meeting fire.

Silently placing the Beech Spear aside, Su Mo lay on the ground and used the game panel to create another wooden spear, spending 5 Survival Points to evolve it again.

By the time the evolution was complete, the Chameleon on the other side seemed to have become exhausted.

It began to lie motionless on the ground, looking as if it were dead.

Su Mo, observing from a distance on the ground, raised his eyebrows and continued to wait patiently.

From the information he had learned in the chat channel yesterday, any monster killed would definitely drop a resource treasure chest.

If he hadn't seen this message, he might have foolishly gone up to finish it off.

Now that he knew, the Chameleon's feigned death was useless.

Sure enough, in less than a minute.

The Chameleon raged impotently on the ground, began to twitch, and after three to five seconds of continued spraying, collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Seizing the opportunity, Su Mo threw the already corroded Beech Spear beside him, which landed right next to the Chameleon.

The Chameleon, in its final burst of life, tried to spray venom once more.

However, when it looked up and saw a Beech Spear, it let out a mournful cry of anger and collapsed heavily to the ground.

This time, the Chameleon was truly dead.

At that moment, the green venom on the ground also rapidly disappeared. Accompanied by a burst of dazzling light from the Chameleon's corpse, a Silver Treasure Chest appeared in its place after the light faded!

"It's actually a Silver Treasure Chest! This time, I've really struck it rich!"

Looking at the treasure chest before him, Su Mo was overjoyed, wishing he could rush over and open it immediately to see what was inside.

I'm going to mail the contract today. Readers who are investing, invest boldly!
