Silver Treasure Chest in the Cave

"Hoo... hoo..."

Cao Xing forced himself to calm down, then asked the system.

"Without considering satiety, how much bear meat do I need to eat at minimum to gain attribute improvements?"

He knew that this kind of bear meat only provided attribute improvement effects the first time it was eaten.

So, it didn't matter if you ate 10 pieces or 100 pieces of bear meat.

However, if just one bite was enough, Cao Xing would have a lot more room to maneuver!

At this moment, a system prompt appeared.

[System Prompt: You need to consume more than 100g of bear meat to gain attribute improvement effects.]

Seeing this prompt, Cao Xing's face flashed with ecstasy.

Only 100g was needed!

1 piece of bear meat = 1 kilogram.

This meant that he could divide these 1215 pieces of bear meat into over ten thousand portions for trading!

He couldn't even imagine how many supplies he could exchange for!

Of course, Cao Xing wouldn't trade all of it; he needed to keep some for his daily needs.

After all, his territory had such a large population now.

Next, he still needed to recruit a Level 15 Icefield Druid.

Thus, Cao Xing directly put away all the materials on the ground.

With this, the spoils from this battle were almost tallied.

Just as Cao Xing was preparing to lead his people back, he suddenly noticed the deep cave behind them.

This cave... seemed to be the Snowland Savage Bear's den.

Could there be any treasures inside?

Seeing Cao Xing's gaze, Assam volunteered, "Lord, allow your subordinate to scout ahead!"

Cao Xing nodded.

Then, Assam drew the longsword at his waist and strode directly into the cave.

A few minutes later, Assam emerged and said respectfully, "Lord, no other dangers were found inside the cave."

"However, I did find something different inside."

Cao Xing asked curiously, "Something different?"

Assam nodded.

Cao Xing, along with Liu Muxue, headed into the Savage Bear's cave.

As soon as they entered the cave, a faint earthy smell entered their nostrils.

A system prompt appeared.

[System Prompt: You have entered a special area: Snowland Savage Bear Cave...]

The cave was slightly dim, but compared to the icy world outside, it was much warmer inside.

Cao Xing looked at the temperature display above his head.

[Current Temperature: -25℃]

The further they walked into the cave, the higher the temperature became.

After walking about ten meters forward.

In a corner of the cave, Cao Xing discovered what Assam had called "something different."

On a pile of dry grass lay a creature as white as snow, like a ball of fur.

It was a recently born white bear cub.

It seemed to be asleep, curled up, revealing a pink little paw.

Beside him, Liu Muxue's eyes instantly sparkled.

"So... so cute..."

Cao Xing walked to the bear's nest, squatted down, and was about to reach out and touch the little bear cub—

"Chichi..."

A crackling sound of electricity echoed, and a damage number appeared above Cao Xing's head.

Cao Xing flinched as if pricked by a needle and instinctively retracted his arm.

"What the heck! This little bear cub can even discharge electricity?"

Cao Xing looked ahead in surprise, and the attributes of the little bear cub appeared before him.

[Snowland Savage Bear (Cub Stage)] [Race: Beast] [Level: None] [Attributes: None] [Talent: Body of Lightning (Can control weak electrical power).]

Cao Xing's eyes lit up instantly.

Born with the Body of Lightning. This little bear cub has potential!

Just then, another System Prompt appeared.

Detected tamable wild creature: Snowland Savage Bear cub. Do you wish to tame it and recruit it into your Territory?

(After taming a wild creature, you must provide it with Food. Only after it grows will it possess corresponding combat power.) Clearly, Liu Muxue, standing beside him, also heard the System Prompt.

She was looking expectantly at Cao Xing, seemingly eager for him to take the little bear cub away.

Cao Xing pondered for a moment, then nodded.

Although this little bear cub had no combat power, it had potential. Once it grew up, it might become as powerful as the Savage Bear outside! "It took two days to kill its mother, how many days will it take for it to grow up?"

Recruitment successful. Territory Population +1. Would you like to name the Snowland Savage Bear?

"Huh? I can name it too?" Cao Xing's eyes lit up again, and he fell into thought once more.

This little guy can discharge electricity, and it's a bear. Cao Xing couldn't help but think of a game he had played before.

There was a white giant bear that could control lightning and wind, had experienced the baptism of war, and possessed the fighting spirit of the Freljord. It was called Volibear, and it also had a resounding title: Roar of Thunder! With this thought, Cao Xing said directly, "Today, I bestow upon you the name, Volibear!"

The little bear cub, curled up in the bear's den, stretched its limbs, as if sensing something.

"Moo~"

The little bear cub let out a soft hum.

Volibear naming successful.

Liu Muxue also heard the System Prompt. Filled with joy, she wanted to pick up the little bear cub.

Cao Xing reminded her from behind, "Sister-in-law, be careful. This little bear cub can discharge electricity."

Liu Muxue paused, then nodded gently.

She cautiously extended a finger to touch the little bear cub's body.

This time, the little bear cub did not emit any current.

Liu Muxue's heart leaped with joy. She directly extended her hands and scooped the little bear cub into her arms.

She looked at Cao Xing and said happily, "A Xing, look! It doesn't seem to be shocking me!"

Cao Xing's mouth twitched. This little guy...

The little bear cub seemed to know it had a new owner, its limbs flailing about.

Liu Muxue, holding it up, chuckled, "Wally, from now on, your name is Wally!"

Cao Xing walked past the bear's den and straight to the innermost part of the cave.

Because there, he saw a treasure chest!

This was also one of the things Assam had scouted earlier.

Unlocked Silver Treasure Chest (Can be opened)

Seeing the system description, Cao Xing's breathing hitched. "Good heavens, it's a Silver Treasure Chest!"

In this world, treasure chests were categorized by rarity: Black Iron, Bronze, Silver, Constant Gold, Bright Moon, and so on. The rarity of items obtained from treasure chests of different tiers varied.

It was said that the highest-tier Bright Moon treasure chest could even yield legendary equipment! As for whether there were any higher-tier treasure chests, Cao Xing had no experience with them, so he wasn't sure.

However, when Cao Xing opened his first Silver Treasure Chest in the game, he had already survived for more than ten days! Therefore, the significance of him finding a Silver Treasure Chest in the early stages was immense!

Cao Xing directly clicked to open it.

"Whoa! A skill book, a green-tier equipment, a medical kit, and mithril!"

"Truly worthy of a Silver Treasure Chest!"

Cao Xing was overjoyed as he began examining the attributes of these items.
