Setting up the Scene, and Returning to Base
Setting up the Scene, and Returning to Base
Walking over to where the dog-headed person dropped the chest, Su Mo opened his second platinum chest ever since coming to this world.
The mutated chameleon was hard to handle, but comparing it to this dog-headed person, it was day and night.
Luckily, it was not all for naught.
The light flashed and there were two new notifications.
[Note] : You received Resource Field Guide ( Beginner ) x 1
[Note] : You received Sharp Watermelon Knife x 1
"Huh? A field guide?"
"This is a really good item,"
A weird field guide gave him a sense of security and his first bucket of gold.
Su Mo was weirdly overjoyed and quickly searched his memory storage, and found the hardcover Monster Field Guide that he had bought previously.
Fumbling with the field guide, he turned on the scanning function of the field guide, which made Su Mo realize how to use it.
Just like the Monster Field Guide, the Resource Field Guide can be used to scan resources three times a day.
The book could detect the chosen resource within 1 kilometer radius of the user.
Beginner resources included stone, wood, iron, bronze, other commonly seen resources, even natural gas, sulfur, gold, silver, basalt, saltpeter, petroleum, and some other uncommon resources.
In short, this thing was helpful for resource gathering at this early stage.
Nodding, Su Mo closed the page and took out the giant blade.
Other than its sharpness, the giant blade did not have any elemental power to it, and could only be used as a normal tool.
"This field guide was enough, it can be used three times a day, it's so worth it. "
Using the giant blade , Su Mo effortlessly tore open the chest of the noble dog-headed person and took out the wooden spear.
Even though dog-headed people had the name 'people', other than being bipedal, their body structure was different from humans.
After mutating, the dog-headed people seemingly lost their acute sense of smell and ability to move fast.
What they got back in return was the ability to use magic and tools as weapons.
"No , I only got the rights after killing these two dog-headed people, before I came...they probably had to fight some catlike creature and won before getting their rights!"
"Before they came in, they were digging, was the laser sensor on the machinery brought back by the dog headed people to their encampment?"
There were some clues, including the catlike fur on the floor, and the damage marks on the foothills outside the shelter.
It all pinpointed towards the occurrence of a deadly battle happening here before.
" Oh no! They ran into trouble here and the dog headed-people took over, it's sure that the other side had casualties too, but there's no corpse!"
"Their people might have came here before, if they were to discover that the damned noble dog-headed people were gone, it would spell trouble for me instead!"
Immediately, Su Mo had never felt as smart as he did now.
At the same time, he felt a strong sense of insecurity.
Security -1000 !
"I shouldn't stay here for long, the bumper car had fuel but it's all water down there and unavigateable for the car, it was courting death if I stayed behind and guarded this 'treasure'."
Thinking of this, he gave up on trying to make use of the Bumper Element.
The dog-headed people did not think that this bumper car was a treasure, and did not use it. In their eyes it was probably a huge pile of trash.
Quickly taking out 4 units of wood, he quickly made a wooden bucket using the crafting interface.
Walking over to the noble dog-headed person who was beaten into a 'pulp' , Su Mo put all of his remains into the bucket, and dragged the other dog-headed person over as well and jammed them together into the bucket.
He put the whole bucket into his storage space, and unwillingly looked at the items around as he did not want to leave them behind, finally abandoning the thought of making them his.
After gathering smaller items that can be brought with him, Su Mo came to the hole nad was about to climb up, but saw the bloodstains and thought of something.
"The dog headed people's sense of smell has devolved, and I have ceramic armor that can cover my scent, maybe I can use this to find and hunt back the laser sensor, this can save me a few hundred survival points!"
Gathering the catlike animal's fur from before, Su Mo scattered it all over the floor, and even put some on the bloodstains.
Looking at the 'perfect crime' scene, Su Mo nodded and went to the hole, jumped, and clung onto the straw rope.
After forcing his biceps to put up some strength, Su Mo finally managed to crawl out of the hole of the second shelter, and returned to the foothills.
"Awoo-Awoo-"
Oreo, who was patrolling nearby the retained water, happily let out some howls.
After putting away the metal plates, and straw rape, he hurriedly cleaned up the scene, and put a few furs on the footprints of the dog-headed people.
"The only imperfection now is my own footsteps, but I can't do anything about it, this is as good as it gets."
"If anyone dared to follow…"
"I'm beginning to worry no one would show up, this is my turf, and I'll kill anyone who trespasses!"
Following the road that he came from before, Su Mo was able to quickly return .
After ten minutes, he came back to the place where he put on the raincoat.
"Awoo-woowoowoowoo-"
The poor Oreo came over to Su Mo and howled sadly.
Seeing this, Su Mo giggled.
Oreo's butt originally had a black and white fur tail covering it, but the fur had been burnt away, and the pink tiny butt can be seen now.
The fluffy and giant tail was gone now, the sight of the baldness made people look at it with pity.
After yapping twice, Oreo walked two steps and scratched at the burnt spot, trying to express that the thing made it like that.
"This will teach you, dumb dog, just run when you encounter that kind of monster again."
"But, your brave master has killed those two baddies and avenged you,"
Kneeling down, he took out the remaining magic elixir and fed it to Oreo. Seeing Oreo hop around actively, Su Mo was reviled.
In this dystopia, a man and a dog had each other. Without Oreo's warning, he would probably have had a fireball to cleanse his face.
" I have to quickly upgrade my battle equipment, my battle power is too low, this kind of enemy was too risky to face, I have to ensure my safety next time."
Under the scorching sun, the second shelter was like a beast submerged in water.
At a metal door, Su Mo looked as if he could see through the metal plate and saw the bumper car.
"I'll drive you out soon, just wait, don't go anywhere!"
Su Mo bid farewell to it with unwillingness in his eyes, and started his journey to return to his home base.
This time, the automated weapon would make its debut!
