Surviving Underground: Super Prompting System - Chapter 35

Chapter 35: Base Upgrade Blueprint

“Boom!”

Joseph released the grenade in his hand in mid-air.

The Rat-Headed Men who were shouting at Joseph immediately welcomed the baptism of Earth’s civilization.

The huge explosion of the grenade completely enveloped all the Rat-Headed Men. After a burst of intense light, the entire Rat-Headed Men tribe quieted down once again.

The mud-like house was completely destroyed by the explosion, and the strange statue completely collapsed.

Although the power of the grenade was not as powerful as a Bazooka, it was still not something that these Rat-Headed Men could withstand.

The grenade immediately blew up more than half of the Rat-Headed Tribe onto the flat ground.

[System prompt: there is a seriously injured Rat-Headed Priest hidden 15 meters in front of you. It is the best chance for you to kill it when it is on the verge of death.]

The Rat-headed priest was still alive?

Hearing the system’s prompt, Joseph slowly descended from the sky.

Sure enough, thermal weapons were very lethal to low-level Magical Beasts.

In front of this group of Rat-Headed Men who had never seen thermal weapons before, the grenade was a godly weapon.

“Is it buried underground?”

Following the system’s prompt, Joseph stood in front of a piece of charred ground and said softly.

Under the aftershock of the grenade explosion, the mound where the Rat-Headed Priest was hiding collapsed and buried him alive.

“Let’s get to work!”

Picking up the shovel from behind him, Joseph began to dig roughly at the empty space in front of him. He was not digging for treasure chests, so even if there was any damage to it, Joseph would not care at all, right?

“If it wasn’t for the crystal on the staff, it would actually be quite good to bury you inside!”

Joseph mumbled to himself as he dug. He could save time and effort if he did not have to kill this bastard. Why did he have to work so hard to dig?

Just as Joseph felt that the shovel was inserted into something soft, a staff stained with blood suddenly came out of the ground and went straight for Joseph’s heart.

“F * ck, damn rats!”

Just as Joseph was about to turn around and retreat, a blazing flame crashed into the staff.

“Happy, that’s the crystal that I found with great difficulty!”

Looking at the burning staff, Joseph’s heart ached so much that it was about to bleed. The only crystal that he had spent so much effort to see had disappeared before his eyes just like that?

However, he could not do anything about it. After all, Pistachio was doing this to help him.

“Meow!”

Pistachio pounced on the pit that he had just dug and pulled out the Rat-Headed Priest that was buried in the ground,

Its two snow-white claws continued to tear at the Rat-Headed Priest’s face. Its savage appearance instantly stunned Joseph.

‘Is this really my Pistachio?’

‘Its savage appearance is really frightening!’

As Pistachio continued to attack it, the Rat-Headed Priest, who was already severely injured, completely lost its breath.

When Joseph saw that Pistachio’s fur was covered in blood, he could not help but feel a headache coming.

Bathing it was too troublesome!

Even though he said that, Joseph still felt very warm in his heart. It was completely because the rat-headed man priest wanted to ambush him that made Pistachio so angry.

“Alright, it’s already dead. Do you know how troublesome it is to bathe you?”

Joseph pulled Pistachio onto his shoulder and completely ignored its fierce gaze.

At that moment, Pistachio was still as beautiful as ever. It had a different kind of beauty.

After all, Pistachio was beautiful, so some of its hair that was dyed red with blood did not affect its beauty.

“Meow!”

Pistachio roared fiercely at Joseph, who had grabbed him. His little red claws danced continuously at Joseph.

“Okay, okay, I got it. I’ll roast the meat five times. What a greedy little cat!”

Joseph instantly understood what happy wanted to say. He nodded and agreed without hesitation.

[System prompt: there is a D-Grade Treasure Chest hidden under the collapsed Rat-Headed Man statue ten meters in front of us. Dig three meters deep.]

This treasure chest had completely surprised Joseph. He had not expected that he would obtain a D-Grade Treasure Chest after destroying the entire Rat-Headed Tribe.

Holding the shovel, Joseph brought Pistachio on his shoulder and walked to the broken statue.

This D-Grade Treasure Chest was important to whether he could forge a Poison Decomposer or not.

Joseph really did not care whether he could obtain crystals and metals!

Even if he did not have the materials he needed, the D-Grade Treasure Chest would definitely not let him down!

With that thought in mind, Joseph started digging without a word. In order to open the D-Grade Treasure Chest faster, Joseph even used his remaining mana to activate the Basic Agility Spell.

Joseph’s digging motion was like a gust of wind. A spade of sand flew in the air. Before long, a brand new D-Grade Treasure Chest that was shining with light appeared before Joseph.

“Crystal! I must get the Crystal!”

Joseph stood in front of the treasure chest and repeated the words repeatedly. He only came back to his senses after Pistachio impatiently patted him with his small claws.

[Opening D-Grade Treasure Chest: obtained Portable Base Upgrade Blueprint – Small European Villa]

[Obtained: stone ore x 300]

[Obtained: cement x 30]

[Obtained: Strength Attribute Fruit]

[Obtained: metal x 30]

“God, you damned old thing, where’s my crystal?”

After opening the treasure chest full of anticipation, Joseph did not find any traces of the crystal that he had been thinking about. He immediately cursed angrily.

This was not to say that Joseph was not satisfied with the materials that came out of the treasure chest. However, he had already developed an indescribable obsession with the crystal. Especially after discovering the crystal on the Rat-Headed Priest’s staff.

He became even more unsatisfied. If an annoying Rat-Headed Man could have a crystal, why did Emperor Joseph not have one?

After venting out his anger, Joseph looked at the materials lying quietly in the treasure chest, and his face suddenly revealed a dark expression of excitement.

Joseph knew that he could open up good materials from the D-Grade Treasure Chest.

However, Joseph did not expect the treasure chest to be so powerful.

He had always wanted the Portable Base Upgrade Blueprint, but he did not expect it to appear in front of him just like that.

Joseph only wanted to say that the D-Grade Treasure Chest was awesome!

This time, everything was perfect except for not obtaining any crystals.

Once Joseph had the Upgrade Blueprint, he could upgrade the base again!

Then, the wooden hut would turn into a cement villa. This upgrade was on a whole new level.

By obtaining this blueprint alone, the effort Joseph spent to wipe out the Rat-Headed Tribe was definitely not in vain.

Although he had just wiped out the Rat-Headed Tribe, he had also used up a portion of his resources.

Nonetheless, when he saw these rewards, Joseph felt that the resources he had used were nothing at all.
