"Hahaha, it succeeded!"
Lin Bei took advantage of the thirty-second duration of Potential Surge, quickly activated the kun bag's storage function, and collected all the scattered resources and materials around him.
The space inside the kun bag was incredibly magical; the various resources collected were automatically categorized and quietly suspended in different areas.
Afterward, he noticed that the materials just stored inside the kun bag were now starting to emit a faint glow.
Clearly, the kun bag's "Refine" ability had taken effect.
Any material below Perfect quality would be refined by the kun bag's power, improving its quality and eventually transforming into Perfect quality.
Of course, you have to eat your food one bite at a time, and material quality also needs to be improved step by step.
For example, a common quality material needs to first advance to Outstanding Quality, then to Fine quality, then excellent quality, and finally, it can be upgraded to Perfect quality.
As for how long each quality transformation would take, Lin Bei was currently unaware.
At the very least, with the kun bag, he wouldn't have to worry about lacking valuable materials in the future.
For the time being, he finally didn't have to worry about having no place to store supplies.
Time flowed by, and thirty seconds passed in the blink of an eye.
The surging Vitality and Blood within Lin Bei immediately receded, and he felt weak and sore all over, his head heavy and dizzy.
"Sure enough, gaining a twofold increase in Combat Power requires paying a price."
Lin Bei wasn't surprised by the side effects of using Potential Surge; instead, he calmly lit an invigorating cigarettes and took a light puff.
In an instant, the feeling of exhaustion vanished from his entire body, and he became refreshed and energetic.
"These invigorating cigarettes really are excellent; they can actually exempt me from the cost of using Potential Surge."
Lin Bei stared blankly at the cigarette in his hand.
With this item in hand, Lin Bei felt as if he had gained a "Purification" skill.
Whether in daily life or during Combat against enemies, it could definitely be called a Marvelous Item!
Subsequently, Lin Bei shifted his gaze to his Martial Arts Master skill.
"It's a pity I don't have anyone to practice with."
"Otherwise, I really want to test how much my actual Combat ability has improved now."
"As for Nilu..."
Lin Bei glanced at the Little Loli beside him, who was sulking because she couldn't dig holes, and slowly shook his head, "Forget it. She's just a child. If I sparred with her, I could probably kill ten of her with one punch."
His gaze continued to fall on the Class Interface.
He chose the Combat Class and automatically learned 2 Basic Mastery Skills for Combat Classes.
He still hadn't chosen his Advancement Direction.
There were two Advancement Directions available for the Combat Class at Level 20: Demolitionist and Scout.
Lin Bei only pondered for a moment before directly choosing Demolitionist.
This was mainly considering the Automatic Cannon on his current Island. With the Demolitionist skill bonus, its power would definitely increase significantly.
Furthermore, the Frost Ice Repeating Crossbow in his hand had an auto-calibration attack effect. Combined with the Freezing and Explosion Effects, why would he need to strike the target's weak points?
As long as the target enters the Freezing state, their entire body becomes a weak point.
He could shoot them even with his eyes closed.
He had no interest in advancing to become a "Scout" and aiming for the target's weak points in every Combat; the efficiency was too low.
For him, Firepower Coverage was the ultimate path.
"Art is explosion."
There was some truth to that statement.
However, advancing his Class required spending primal stone, in addition to meeting the prerequisite level requirement.
Lin Bei glanced at the price; it wasn't expensive, requiring only 20 primal stone. For him, it was merely a drop in the bucket.
[Notification: You have chosen the Class Advancement Direction—Demolitionist!]
[Notification: You have learned the Exclusive Class Skill—Explosive Attack!]
[Notification: You have triggered a 100x Critical Hit effect!]
[Notification: Your skill "Explosive Attack" has advanced to "Explosive Destruction"!]
"A hundredfold Critical Hit?!"
"I'm taking off!"
Lin Bei exclaimed and quickly looked at the Skill Description.
[Explosive Destruction: Passive Skill. When activated, all your attacks will carry a devastating Explosion Effect. Please use with caution. Note: This skill can be toggled On/Off at any time. When activated, it will continuously consume Stamina.]
"Although the Skill Description doesn't show the exact power, the two words 'Destruction' look far from simple!"
"I wonder what the actual effect is like..."
Just then, a huge roar suddenly sounded in Lin Bei's ears.
The Automatic Cannon fired another Cannon Shell, landing in the distant sea.
Only this time, the Cannon Shell was enveloped in intense Black Flames, looking like a burning meteor falling into the sea.
Boom, boom, boom—!!!
In the time it took to stare blankly, a deafening and terrifying explosion sound erupted directly in the sea hundreds of meters away.
A massive column of water shot into the sky, like a soaring Water Dragon, stirring up the wind and waves in the surrounding sea.
Waves several meters high spread out from the center of the explosion, continuously crashing against the shore.
In less than ten seconds, Lin Bei was hit by the huge waves, wave after wave, turning him instantly into a drowned rat.
Fortunately, his Combat Power was high enough that he could barely keep his footing against the impact of the waves.
If it were an ordinary person, they might have suffered internal organ displacement and severe bleeding just from the first wave hitting them due to the massive impact force.
"Damn, the effect of this Excellent-Grade Cannon combined with Explosive Destruction is actually this exaggerated?"
Yellow warning markers flashed on the Adaptive Protective Suit covering Lin Bei's body, and at the same time, the suit's Durability dropped by a full 100 points.
You must know that the Adaptive Protective Suit is a Top-Tier Equipment of excellent quality, possessing a full 10,000 Durability points. Under normal circumstances, the daily consumption is only 1 Durability point.
But in that single encounter, 1% of the Durability was lost!
Crucially, he was visually estimated to be at least three hundred meters away from the center of the explosion!
This was simply outrageous!
And if he remembered correctly, the waves only took about ten seconds to reach the shore from the explosion area!
In other words, the speed of those waves actually reached 100 kilometers per hour!
"F***, I was naive enough to think that ordinary people would only suffer internal organ displacement when facing the wave impact. Now it looks like their bones might be knocked right out!"
Lin Bei finally realized the terrifying power of the Explosive Destruction + Excellent-Grade Automatic Cannon combo and gained a rough understanding of it.
"Seriously, with this Skill Combination Combo, why do I need to know weak points?"
He glanced at the Scout's exclusive skill in the other Combat Class Advancement Direction, curled his lip slightly, and thought disdainfully, "Weak Point Strike? Not even a dog would learn that..."
However, Lin Bei temporarily turned off the "Explosive Destruction" skill bonus just to be safe.
He didn't want to be relaxing in his lounge chair enjoying the leisurely afternoon only to be suddenly knocked over by successive massive waves.
[Notification: You used a cannon to kill Great White Shark ×10!]
[Notification: You gained 2000 experience!]
The Notification Message sounded in Lin Bei's ear.
"Good heavens, that was just one cannon shot, and it actually killed ten Great White Sharks!"
"But it seems that as my level increases, the experience these Great White Sharks provide have shrunk considerably."
"If I remember correctly, killing one Great White Shark used to reward 1000 experience. Now, 10 sharks only give 2000 points, which is only one-fifth of yesterday's amount."
"It's a shame that the experience gained from killing Marine Creatures don't trigger the Critical Hit effect. Only the experience given by related Invasion Events and the Daily Survival Rating can trigger a Critical Hit."
"Otherwise, leveling up would be much simpler."
Lin Bei rubbed his chin, feeling helpless about the Critical Hit Trigger Mechanism.
Sometimes, he clearly felt it should trigger a Critical Hit, like when crafting items, but it deliberately wouldn't!
Other times, he felt it shouldn't trigger a Critical Hit, like when learning a skill previously, but it counter-intuitively did trigger one!
"I can only say... this System is a bit abnormal. Hmm... it's like it drank fake alcohol."
Lin Bei secretly complained in his heart: "And they promised 10~10,000x Critical Hits, but the result is almost always 10x Critical Hits. I've barely seen 100x or 1000x! 10,000x is just a pipe dream!"
"Can't it just give me some face and trigger a 10,000× Critical Hit? Just once!!!"
Lin Bei lay bored on a desolate Island.
That's right. After the resource gathering that stripped the land bare and the Tsunami Attack, his Island was now barren and desolate, with not a blade of grass growing.
"Right, I was so busy checking the Class Skills just now that I forgot to look at what came out of the excellent treasure chest that triggered a 1000x Critical Hit."
"Besides the 1000 Scrolls of Oblivion, there should be plenty of other good things, right?"
Lin Bei snapped back to reality and looked into the storage space inside the kun bag.
The result... left him stunned.
"This is truly... a timely help in the snow."
"All the materials needed to build a Perfect Villa... are actually complete!"
His face was full of disbelief.
This kind of Luck... seemed a bit too strange.
He frowned in thought, only four words remaining in his mind—Celestial Gods.
A chill swept through his entire body.
At the same time, he felt that an gaze was faintly watching him from all directions, sending shivers down his spine.
"Damn it, it can't really be this spooky, right?"
"Forget it, I shouldn't scare myself. I'm timid... and I don't want to be the first Newbie among all the Survivors to die of fright."
"I don't care if there are any schemes or tricks. As long as it benefits me, I'll just develop steadily."
"As for other matters... even if I knew, it would only increase my worries."
"Everything... depends on strength."
...Deep within the unknown Black Mist, stood a towering Golden Palace reaching into the clouds.
At this moment, an ethereal sound of surprise from a young girl came from inside the palace.
"Interesting. It seems a talented individual has appeared among this batch of Cannon Fodder."
"It's a pity that as the Overseer, I cannot directly interfere with their Survival World."
"Never mind, I'll just allocate a thread of Luck to him, considering it an early investment."
"Fortunately, it's my turn for duty this time. Otherwise, such a promising prospect would have been snatched away by those old fogeys!"
"Hehe, my Luck has always been good!"
...At noon, the sun hung high, and the Island temperature soared rapidly, reaching a terrifying 46°C or more!
Many Survivors were parched, sweating profusely, and had fallen into a life-or-death struggle.
In the surrounding sea area, not a trace of sea breeze blew.
On the ground, the vegetation was withered and yellow, a desolate sight.
Even after one day of survival, everyone had leveled up and increased their Combat Power.
But compared to the scorching heat, the tiny bit of Combat Power they gained was completely ineffective.
"I'm dying of thirst. Does anyone sell water? I'm willing to trade the Fine quality spear in my hand for it!"
"Great Lord! Do you still have ice cubes? I'm willing to trade primal stone with you!"
"This damn weather is awful! It's only noon on the second day, and the temperature is already this high! If I remember correctly, the announcement said one Seasonal Cycle lasts a full week! Damn it, how are people supposed to live?"
"Water, water, water, water... I need water..."
"Does any Great Lord have cooling equipment or tools? I'm willing to buy them at a high price!"
In the public chat channel, the surviving Survivors were full of complaints, each one nearing their limit.
Seeing this, Lin Bei knew it was time for him to act.
"Whether I can gather enough primal stone for Island Upgrade depends on how generous everyone is later!"
Lin Bei was not in a hurry to build his large villa; instead, he activated Potential Surge and began taking out various equipment and tools from the kun bag that could be used to withstand the hot weather, preparing to make a killing in the Trading Hall.
"primal stone, I'm coming for you!"
This time, he only wanted primal stone.
Of course, if there were more valuable blueprint, he wouldn't mind either.
Soon, he listed items he didn't need, such as Solar Electric Fans and Cooling Patches, in the Trading Hall.
He began patiently waiting for the harvest.
Beside him, Nilu had appeared sometime previously. She was staring eagerly at him, covering her continuously rumbling little tummy, her face full of pleading.
"Wait... you're hungry again already?"
Lin Bei was stunned.
"Mhm."
Nilu obediently nodded, her large, watery eyes continuing to stare at Lin Bei.
Seeing this, Lin Bei was completely defeated.
He had just been lamenting how powerful it was for one cannon shot to take out ten Great White Sharks, but now it seemed... that even all of them combined might not be enough for Nilu's daily Rations.
"Well... if you want to eat something later, you can grill it yourself. This Barbecue Grill is very simple to operate, listen to me..."
Thus, Lin Bei patiently explained the precautions for using the Automatic Barbecue Grill while demonstrating the operation.
Nilu listened attentively beside him, an eager look appearing on her face.
"If you run out of Ingredients, you can tell me."
"Of course, if your own strength is sufficient, you can also personally go find some Wild Game to grill and eat."
"But... be sure to pay attention to safety."
Lin Bei instructed.
"Mhm!"
Nilu nodded vigorously, her rosy cheeks displaying an incomparably bright smile.
