Infinite Water Resources

"This is seriously the first time working out has felt this good."

Lin Feng set down the scrap metal he had been using as a barbell.

With the help of the body-strengthening pills, Lin Feng had already become very fit after only a few days of exercise.

Although he had not reached the point where he could kill a cow with one punch, Lin Feng believed that if he kept training like this, he would become One-Punch Man sooner or later.

"Beep. The floor you are about to enter is the Ice River Floor. You will enter a world of extreme cold. There is a mysterious treasure underwater. If you are not afraid of being frozen into a popsicle, you can go down and take a look. There are a few cute little animals on this floor. If you are very hungry, you can choose to eat them."

"Beep. Choice mission triggered."

"Option one: go underwater and obtain the mysterious treasure. Reward: one Universal Key, a key capable of opening every lock in the world. (Mission assistance item: an insulated diving suit. It will automatically disappear after the mission is completed.)"

"Option two: wait in the elevator for the next floor. Reward: one crisp, sweet, delicious apple."

"Option one, obviously!"

Lin Feng said as he looked at the options, which seemed like a giveaway question.

"Beep. Selection successful. Mission assistance item issued."

Then the elevator announcement sounded.

[Ding-dong! Elevator descending. Please hold on tight!]

After the door opened, Lin Feng changed into the insulated diving suit and entered the floor.

"Brr! It's freezing."

Although he was wearing the insulated diving suit provided by the system, the temperature of dozens of degrees below zero still made Lin Feng shiver.

"Do animals really live in this godforsaken place?"

Lin Feng walked farther in and soon discovered a frozen river.

The thick layer of ice on its surface allowed Lin Feng to walk freely across it, but that raised a problem: how was he supposed to get down there?

The treasure was on the riverbed, and he had no explosives. There was no way he could break through the ice covering the river.

Just as Lin Feng was fretting over this, several snow-white deer ran out of the grass.

They were probably deer. They looked very similar, with the only difference being the thick, heavy fur covering their bodies to keep them warm.

However, these deer looked as though something had frightened them.

While Lin Feng stood there in a daze, the ground suddenly began to shake.

"What the fuck? An earthquake?"

Lin Feng was startled and hurried back into the elevator. Fortunately, it was very safe inside.

There was no threat from the earthquake.

"Looks like I won't be completing this mission."

Lin Feng sighed. Who knew when this earthquake would stop? Even if it stopped within an hour, he probably would not be able to finish the mission within the allotted time.

What Lin Feng had never expected was that the earthquake seemed to be working for him. After just over ten minutes, the floor stopped shaking.

The frozen river had also been cracked open by the brief but powerful earthquake.

Clear river water appeared in the channel once more.

Lin Feng cautiously tried walking back in. Once he had finally confirmed it was safe, he hurried to the riverbank to take a look.

The river was not deep, so Lin Feng spotted the golden chest on the riverbed at a glance.

"Fuck it, here goes!"

Lin Feng took a deep breath. He was a strong swimmer, after all (good at the dog paddle).

Besides, the water here was neither deep nor fast-flowing. For the treasure chest, he would risk it!

Splash!

Water sprayed up as Lin Feng jumped straight in.

"FUCK!!!"

The moment Lin Feng entered the water, goosebumps rose all over him. Although the temperature underwater might have been milder than on land, it felt completely different. Moreover, Lin Feng seriously suspected that the diving suit the system had given him was just for show!

What kind of fucking insulated diving suit was this? It did not keep him warm at all. For some reason, Lin Feng's legs were also a little stiff, but he could not worry about all that now. He had to hurry up and dive down.

Hang in there, hang in there...

Lin Feng muttered inwardly as he dived, then quickly opened the treasure chest when he reached it.

[Ding-dong! Congratulations on successfully obtaining Infinite Water Resources. It has been placed in the elevator. You may go and inspect it.]

The elevator announcement sounded. Hearing it from the riverbed, Lin Feng surfaced without another word.

He would have liked to bring the golden treasure chest along too, but it was far too heavy. It even exceeded the cowhide backpack's weight limit. For the sake of staying alive, Lin Feng decided not to be greedy.

"Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough..."

After struggling onto the bank, Lin Feng began coughing violently.

"Fuck, I'm dying..."

Lin Feng shivered and returned to the elevator, trembling all over.

"Beep. Congratulations on completing the mission. Reward: one Universal Key. The diving suit will be reclaimed in one minute. Please change your clothes as soon as possible."

"Got it."

Lin Feng examined the Universal Key. It was gold all over, but unlike other keys, it had no grooves or protrusions.

Still, Lin Feng trusted the things the system provided. After putting away the Universal Key, he hurriedly changed back into his own clothes before turning to look at the Infinite Water Resources he had obtained.

A pool measuring one square meter had appeared in the elevator, with a display screen beside it as well.

[Infinite Water Resources: no matter how much water you use, it will refill the next day. There may also be little surprises.]

(Tip: trading liquids requires containers.)

"Holy shit, this is amazing. Nearly getting myself killed wasn't for nothing."

Lin Feng spoke in astonishment as he read the description. With this thing, wouldn't he never have to worry about water again?

The pool looked about fifty centimeters deep, more than enough for his own use. Besides, it would refresh and refill every day, so he would not have to worry about the water going bad at all.

However, before Lin Feng could enjoy his happiness for long, he began sneezing one time after another.

Then his head began to hurt like hell.

"Fuck, don't tell me I've got a fever?"

Lin Feng pressed his temples, then took a large flatbread out of his backpack and began eating.

Actually, although the flatbread was rock-hard, it tasted pretty good. It just really put his jaw muscles to the test.

After eating half the flatbread with water, Lin Feng really had no appetite left.

He felt that he badly needed some sleep. Not only was he dizzy, but his body also felt cold.

He touched his forehead. It was burning hot.

He really did have a fever.

Lin Feng sighed inwardly. He had actually developed a high fever under these conditions. Without medicine, he would not meet the King of Hell, but it would still affect his progress exploring the floors.

Wait! Medicine?

Lin Feng suddenly remembered the dose of antibiotics he had obtained earlier on the zombie floor. (As mentioned earlier, these antibiotics were specially formulated and could cure most common illnesses.)

That stuff should work!

Lin Feng hurriedly found the single-use antibiotic injection and plunged it into his arm without another word.

"Hiss... hopefully I'll be better tomorrow."

After throwing away the syringe, Lin Feng passed out on the bed.
