A wave after wave of heat struck, carried by the light breeze, gradually forming into small whirlwinds, which lifted the dust off the ground and relentlessly hammered the suffocating high temperature onto Lin Yue’s body just as he stepped out.
Lin Yue couldn’t help but cough a few times as the dry, hot air entered his nasal cavity.
The coolness he had just brought out from the Shelter was instantly scattered by this dry heat, and this high temperature immediately made him feel a faint dizziness that was hard to bear.
Wow, what’s the temperature?
Lin Yue looked at the thermometer hanging on the wall and found it showing 46 degrees Celsius, which frankly made him feel faint.
It’s not even 7 a.m., what’s going on?
Are we preparing for a barbecue by midnight?
"This temperature, it’s really lethal."
Lin Yue felt his breathing becoming a little labored. In this environment, if one wants to do some physically demanding work, then they are certainly courting disaster.
He looked up at the sky.
Two black dots gradually fell from high in the sky, becoming clearer and clearer.
The group’s number one Golden Treasure Chest and the world’s number one Platinum Treasure Chest are soon here.
These two seem to have become fixed features, ever since the group rankings and world rankings came into existence, they have consistently dropped as rewards at dawn on the sixth day of the disaster cycle.
After wiping the sweat off his forehead, Lin Yue smoothed his hair again.
His hair had also become soaked with sweat in this brief time, looking quite disheveled.
"The hair’s a bit long too. I’ll get it trimmed later and have a good wash after opening the chests."
Despite having to go to Belger mine and the Nitrate Ore to retrieve the machine dog after opening the chests, he indeed should have a good wash, after all, there’s plenty of water, whether from the underground river or the rainwater collected from the previous storm, both are excellent for bathing.
Soon, as the two airdrops landed, Lin Yue, after enjoying a moment of coolness from the Shelter, opened the door and stepped out again, holding a Fire Axe, heading to the landing site of the airdrops.
"This time it landed at the previous medium warehouse location. If I hadn’t dismantled it, I’d have to climb onto the roof to grab them."
As usual, Lin Yue put away the parachutes and split open the two large wooden boxes with the Fire Axe.
There’s no surprise, just one Golden Treasure Chest and one Platinum Treasure Chest.
But actually, that’s quite a surprise, after all, they are Golden and Platinum Treasure Chests, the kind that can contain good stuff!
Lin Yue directly brought the two treasure chests into the newly built large underground warehouse. He thought about it for a while and first installed two air conditioners inside.
The temperature in this enclosed underground space is actually not low, and after installing the last two air conditioners on hand and running them for a while, it remained stiflingly hot. Lin Yue thought about it and returned to the large warehouse behind the main Shelter.
Before opening the treasure chests, Lin Yue first went to the large egg incubation machine and looked inside through the observation window.
"Yesterday, today... tomorrow they’ll come out. Is this timing good or bad?"
If the chicks hatch, then they will be the only Earth creatures in this Otherworld besides humans, at least for the time Lin Yue has been here, he hasn’t heard of anyone seeing original Earth creatures, only strange things stitched together from various Earth creatures, especially giant ones.
Lin Yue observed for a while and didn’t find any chicks that had hatched early.
It seems surprises can only appear tomorrow, although hatching in just three days is indeed absurd.
Leaving the incubation machine, Lin Yue took the Golden Treasure Chest and Platinum Treasure Chest, placing them on the ground.
He chose not to open them in the cool Shelter, because if something huge like an intercontinental missile launcher were to appear inside, and the Storage Space couldn’t accommodate it, that wouldn’t be fun.
Lin Yue also didn’t want to save these chests and open them all at once, which would cause considerable mental fatigue. Besides, it seems there’s some kind of metaphysical aspect to it, he always feels like opening them all at once wouldn’t result in anything good.
After pondering for a long time, Lin Yue took a deep breath.
Alright, let’s open the treasure chests now!
First, the Golden Treasure Chest!
[You have obtained: Special Fish Farming Box X10, Medium-sized Farm Design Blueprint!]
Excitement aside, Lin Yue felt more "confusion."
Let’s not talk about anything else.
Medium-sized Farm Design Blueprint? Isn’t this a bit... too coincidental?
Starting with eggs, then acquiring a large incubator, and now a medium-sized farm design blueprint...
Wow, is this someone "designed" it?
Are they forcing people into farming?
Could it be that the contents of these treasure chests are also "pre-designed"?
Lin Yue thought about it and felt that such a possibility isn’t non-existent. As for who... is there any other possibility besides the "system"?
Of course, it could simply be a coincidence, probability is really unpredictable, like earlier when opening weapons, a bunch came out all at once, some of which still don’t seem useful anywhere, like that siege carriage or Stone-Throwing Carriage or whatever, which is now thrown into the corner of the warehouse, ready to gather dust for a while.
