"A tenfold quality crit this time!"
The moment Lin Bei saw the prompt, delight swept across his face.
He hurriedly checked what the chest had produced.
[Fat House Happy Water Recipe (Permanent)]
Level: 1
Quality: Perfect
Description: After use, permanently master the method to craft Perfect-quality Fat House Happy Water.
Durability: 1
Effect: Greatly boosts brain-cell activity and grants total immunity to all heat effects for 2 hours. Consume over ice and both potency and duration double… "A Perfect permanent recipe, and it makes you fearless of heat—fantastic!"
Reading the stats, Lin Bei couldn't stop grinning.
Without hesitation he used the recipe.
Instantly, the required materials for Perfect Fat House Happy Water appeared before him.
[Crafting Needs: Plastic ×1, purified water 10 L, primal stone ×1.]
[Yield: 20 bottles]
"Huh? It actually needs a primal stone?"
Lin Bei wondered, "Because it's high-quality?"
Ordinary cola wouldn't grant heat immunity.
Perhaps the primal stone supplies mysterious energy, giving the soda that special effect.
Sadly, every primal stone he owned had gone into expanding his island; for now he couldn't brew the soda.
He turned his attention to the other gains.

"A Perfect weapon!"
"And matching Perfect ammo blueprints!"
"This—this is insane luck! Hahaha!"
Lin Bei practically leapt for joy, laughing out loud at the stats of the crossbow and blueprint.
Resources were limited; even though the ice-maker produced ice endlessly, he could craft Frost Ice Arrows only once.
He had just one Mithril and one high-grade prime stone.
Still, the Frost Ice Repeating Crossbow worked Fine with ordinary bolts.
It would simply pack far less punch than with Frost Ice Arrows.
Yet Lin Bei was more than satisfied with the haul from the excellent chest.
He placed the Perfect Ice Maker outside the warehouse to let it absorb solar energy and churn out ice.
After watching a while, he found the machine highly efficient.
Every ten seconds it produced one fist-sized block of ice—impressive.
He figured that if melted, each block would yield at least 100 ml of purified water.
In other words, if Lin Bei treats the Perfect Ice Maker as a water-producing tool, he can get seventy-two 500 ml bottles of purified water every hour.
It's worth mentioning that the storage box attached to the Perfect Ice Maker seems to hold a hidden dimension and can store a huge amount of items.
After examining it carefully, Lin Bei couldn't help but gasp and exclaim, "Damn, isn't this the storage space from web novels? And it's 10×10×10—one thousand cubic meters!"
"This Perfect Ice Maker really is a treasure! With this massive storage space, it can double as a fridge!"
A brilliant smile lit up Lin Bei's face; it felt as though he'd swallowed honey.
This is literally hitting the jackpot in one go!
So satisfying~~~
From now on, even if Bei Bei Nan Gua's guess proves right and extreme heat arrives in the next few days, he has nothing to worry about.
He's got Fat House Happy Water and the Perfect Ice Maker—no panic at all!
"Right, this high-grade prime stone is supposedly usable for island expansion too; I wonder how effective it is?"
Suddenly Lin Bei looked at the dark stone emitting a faint glow in his hand and checked the island-building interface.
The result… left him utterly stunned!
[Prompt: Consume one high-grade prime stone to expand the island by 1,000 square meters?]
Seeing the pop-up, Lin Bei was completely dumbfounded.
He never expected that a single high-grade prime stone could expand the island by a full thousand square meters.
Truly worthy of a material that came from an excellent quality chest with a ten-times quality crit!
In one word—absolutely freaking awesome!
Lin Bei's emotions surged; he could hardly calm down.
"Forget it, while my luck's hot, let me crack open a few more chests!"
Rubbing his hands together, Lin Bei dove straight into opening chests!
[Prompt: Successfully opened common supply treasure chest! Triggered 100× crit effect!]
[Prompt: Successfully opened excellent supply treasure chest! Triggered 20× crit effect!]
[Prompt: Successfully opened Fine supply treasure chest! Triggered 10× crit effect!]
[Prompt…]
Soon Lin Bei had opened every chest except the last excellent one, obtaining a huge pile of resources.
The common chests yielded three resources: Plastic, wood, and hardwood.
The excellent chests gave four types of resources.
The Fine chests produced five.
Coupled with the six resource types he'd just obtained from the excellent chest, Lin Bei easily drew a conclusion.
Different chest tiers guarantee different numbers of resource varieties.
Unfortunately, the lowest he could obtain were common chests, so he couldn't verify inferior ones, but by the pattern an inferior chest should yield at most two resource types.
Of course, these were only rough conclusions based on personal experience; whether they're accurate still needs further verification later.
In one go he opened five chests: two Fine, one excellent, and two common.
But this time his luck seemed exhausted; the chests didn't produce many top-tier items. The two common ones were, as expected, just basic materials.
The excellent chest was equally lackluster—only twenty Water Gourds, twenty primal stones, and a pile of materials.
The two Fine chests were hard to describe: they actually produced Hand Warmers, Electric Blankets, and a Fireplace Blueprint.
Come on, with the weather this hot, what use are these things?
They just take up space.
Luckily the last Fine chest redeemed itself by yielding a Solar Electric Fan; otherwise Lin Bei's luck would have hit rock bottom.
"Sigh, am I cursed to be a 'black-face'? I didn't even get a single Treasure Chest Key!"
Lin Bei lay flat on the warehouse's wooden floor, looking utterly defeated.
Beside him, one excellent chest remained unopened, leaving him sighing in frustration.
"I'm done, just let the world end."
With a ruthless thought, Lin Bei rolled over, sprang up, and began pulling out materials to craft Fat House Happy Water.
He felt stifled inside.
As the saying goes, better to release than to block.
So he planned to vent his gloom.
Hmm… keep taking photos and share the simple, boring, low-profile drudgery of daily survival.
"Coke on Ice! Hmm… plus an invigorating cigarette! Yep, that's the vibe—pure bliss~"
Soon Lin Bei sent a photo of himself eating roasted fish, chugging iced cola, and puffing away into the public chat channel, captioned:
"Anybody else?"
Of course, he'd pixelated his face so his handsome looks wouldn't be exposed.
Otherwise, those struggling Survivors, seeing him living the good life and being better-looking, might want to knife him.
"Well, I'm as devastatingly handsome as the reader-lords; posting it would only make them feel worse, so I'd better not rub salt in their wounds."
"After all, the old saying goes—leave some leeway, and we'll meet again someday."
Lin Bei murmured to himself, watching the chat channel go completely crazy, his grin growing wider and wider.
