Scavenging (Seeking Collection)

Please add some collections, recommendations, and monthly tickets. I'm aiming for the top ten or twenty on the new book list!

The generous rewards from the gas pump filled Gu Su with ecstatic joy.

He quickly and carefully stowed the fuel gun, high-concentration corruption oil, and other items into his storage space, his fingertips moving with a hint of urgency.

Without waiting for the skeletons to finish clearing the battlefield, he set off, rushing towards the small supermarket behind the gas station.

At this moment, everything in the gas station seemed like a surprise.

The supermarket, protected by the Oil Tank Slug's power, was even more so. The spoils inside would surely be no less than what he got from the gas pump.

He kicked open the supermarket door, which hung askew on its frame, the crisp creak breaking the battlefield's lingering silence.

Gu Su's gaze swept across the empty supermarket like a hawk's, instantly locking onto the cash register in the corner, which was emitting a constant white light.

Without any delay, he strode forward and yanked open the cash register's small drawer.

As soon as the drawer opened, a clear "ding ding ding" sound erupted in the empty supermarket.

Countless golden coins, like a fountain breaking free from its restraints, surged out of the drawer, crashing onto the black, oil-stained floor with a clatter. The fine golden light swirled in the dim supermarket, quickly piling up into a small mound of gold, so dazzling it was impossible to look away.

The torrent of coins lasted for a full half-minute before gradually slowing and stopping.

Almost simultaneously, the familiar system notification chimed in Gu Su's ear.

[You opened the Cash Register (White), you obtained 2466 Gold Coins.]

Gu Su looked down at the heavy, golden pile of coins on the ground, a wide grin stretching across his lips.

The cash register's reward was simple and direct, yet it was the gold coins he needed most right now.

With a slight movement of his fingers, he quickly calculated in his mind:

2466 from the cash register, plus 554 from the oil tank treasure chest, plus 382 already accumulated from the Graveyard Demon, the total came to a staggering 3402 gold coins!

This number sent a jolt through Gu Su, followed by an irrepressible wave of excitement.

He finally had enough gold coins to upgrade the Graveyard Demon!

A long-standing worry lifted from his shoulders, and a sense of relief and joy spread through his body with his blood.

He suppressed his excitement and immediately turned to the skeletons waiting by his side, waving them over and quietly instructing them to gather all the gold coins on the ground and store them properly.

After collecting all the gold coins, Gu Su's gaze slowly moved to the empty shelves in the supermarket.

These shelves were already bare, with nothing on them.

However, thanks to the protection of the Oil Tank Slug's power, they were in remarkably good condition.

The metal iron frames were smooth and shiny, without a trace of rust.

The wooden shelves were thick and well-formed, showing no signs of decay or mold.

It was evident that both the wood and metal looked brand new.

Even without Gu Su dismantling them, he could tell they were made of excellent materials, far superior to anything he had obtained from broken cars or the marketplace.

Gu Su reached out and gently caressed the cool shelves, a clear plan forming in his mind.

These materials definitely couldn't be used to craft weapons or equipment; that would be a terrible waste.

These materials should be used as building materials for upgrading his territory, which would undoubtedly bring significant improvements to the Graveyard Demon's upgrade, elevating the territory's defenses and functions.

With this thought, Gu Su beckoned again, and another group of skeletons entered, beginning to dismantle the shelves and prepare to pack them away.

After dealing with the shelves, Gu Su finally turned his attention to the last piece of loot in the small supermarket.

The exceptionally conspicuous "oil painting" on the wall.

This oil painting was vibrant and looked brand new. Most importantly, it depicted farmers harvesting in a field.

Both its newness and the subject matter were jarringly out of place with the dilapidated, empty, oil-stained environment of the supermarket, making it look particularly strange.

Gu Su strode forward and reached out, tearing the oil painting from the wall.

The moment he touched the canvas, the surface paint dissolved like a tide, revealing a material beneath that glowed with a faint blue light.

What had looked like a beautiful oil painting had actually turned into graffiti filled with writing.

At the same time, a prompt sound rang out.

[Discovered Simple Hydroponics Technology (Blueprint), do you wish to record this blueprint in your construction list?]

This wasn't an oil painting at all; it was an extremely precious blueprint!

Hearing this voice, Gu Su's mind instantly cleared.

It was a blueprint.

In the game, blueprint-like items were clearly categorized: scrolls, casting diagrams, manuals, architectural designs, and blueprints, each with its own use.

Scrolls were used to learn magic skills, casting diagrams for crafting various weapons and equipment, and manuals were somewhat like instruction booklets.

Architectural designs and blueprints, however, could only be fully utilized by players who possessed an earth-attribute cheat.

Among them, architectural designs allowed players to directly construct corresponding buildings within their territory, shelter, or mobile city.

Blueprints are specifically used to modify territories, shelters, and mobile cities, adding various functions.

Modifying without blueprints is what players call "private modification" or "magical modification."

The effects of modification are entirely unknown. If lucky, it might improve things, but if unlucky, it could backfire or even damage the territory's foundation.

One can imagine how important architectural designs and blueprints are to a player like him, who possesses the Graveyard Demon's earth attribute.

They are practically treasures that are hard to come by.

If this thing were to escape, it would be a huge joke.

Gu Su blurted it out almost instinctively, his tone filled with unconcealable urgency and joy, as if afraid that this surprise would disappear if he was even a step too slow.

"Record!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, the detailed information of the blueprint appeared clearly in Gu Su's mind like a data stream.

From now on, as long as he had enough materials, Gu Su could go to the tent to build and modify, without any further trouble.

[Simple Hydroponic Cultivation Technique: Consume 1 unit of wood and 1 unit of stone to establish a simple hydroponic cultivation rack. It can simultaneously grow more than six types of plants, increasing plant sprouting rate by 20%, plant growth speed by 35%, and has a 15% chance to improve plant quality.]

Looking at the information that popped up before him, Gu Su smiled.

"Good stuff."

To others, this hydroponic cultivation technique could be used to grow vegetables and grains, ensuring that the territory's residents would not go hungry.

But Gu Su's territory was inhabited by undead; they didn't need to eat.

Aside from growing some food for Gu Su's own consumption, the most important use of this hydroponic cultivation technique was to grow the special seeds that Gu Su had obtained.

This was the biggest harvest this time.
