Saving the World in an Apocalypse-Style Text Game

Chapter 123: Chapter 113: The Sea Monster’s Eyeball, Sight of Death_1 Chapter 123: Chapter 113: The Sea Monster’s Eyeball, Sight of Death_1 [You have gained ‘A Feeble Spirit of Tenacity’ *1]

[You have gained ‘Senior Instructor’s Robes of the Academy’ (Common+ level equipment)]

[You have gained ‘Unknown Creature’s Eyeball’ *2 (Common+ Level item)]

The Underworld game neither displayed the text introducing Shell nor provided an option to possess the ‘Senior Instructor’.

Lin Xun went back through the text and found that he had smashed the ‘Senior Instructor’ to a pulp…

“No wonder there isn’t a possession option.”

He was a bit speechless. The Earth Giant’s shell was too brutal, often smashing creatures into a pulp, leaving them impossible to possess.

Lin Xun thought that he should save the Giant’s Shell for when he encountered a major BOSS. That would be the proper way to use it.

“A BOSS-level monster surely can’t be smashed by the Earth Giant in one hit.”

He opened the item list to check the items dropped by the ‘Senior Instructor’.

Firstly, there was the Spirit item worth 2000, ‘A Feeble Spirit of Tenacity’.

The balance of his spirit had once again surpassed 30,000.

Next was a piece of equipment.

[‘Senior Instructor’s Robes of the Academy’ (Common+ level equipment) Black formal robes with mysterious characters imprinted at the collar and five large eyes sewn on the chest.]

“I wonder if the monster would still have clothes on after it drops its equipment, and then I possess it.”

After thinking about it, it seemed unlikely for one piece of equipment to turn into two. A monster couldn’t duplicate a piece of equipment out of thin air.

[‘Unknown Creature’s Eyeball’ *2 (Common+ Level item): Eyeball tissue from an unknown creature, it has extremely high color perception capability and is quite valuable. This item needs to be used with an empty eyehole, and upon usage, there is a certain chance of obtaining a skill that boosts Knowledge.]

After witnessing the form of the ‘Senior Instructor’, his Knowledge increased by 50 points.

Such a mechanism made Lin Xun ponder whether seeing higher-level creatures in the future would cause an overload of Knowledge, resulting in a head explosion.

It appears he must increase his rate of acquiring Knowledge as soon as possible.

Perhaps the Knowledge attribute also has some unknown functions.

Lin Xun switched back to using Lily’s shell, selecting this Common+ level item.

[‘Inquisitive Four-Eyed Student’s’ shell does not have any free eye sockets, so this item cannot be used.]

Seemingly, the underworld game didn’t offer the option to dig out both eyes to replace the eyeball.

Lin Xun pondered a bit, it seemed a bit wasteful to use this item on a common student’s shell.

He put away the eyeball item for now. A sharp blade makes easy work of chopping wood, meaning it’s better to wait until he found a suitable shell to use it.

He selected the skills of Lily’s shell.

[You have activated the ‘Knowledge Extraction’ skill. Before you cancel this skill, your Knowledge acquisition will slightly increase.]

Lin Xun equipped Lily with the ‘Thunder Dragon Staff Spear’ and the ‘Nano-bio Armor’, planning to explore with this shell that could increase the Knowledge for now.

He left the rest of the powerful equipment undisturbed, otherwise, when suddenly encountering a monster, changing shells and equipment for the fight would be onerous and time wouldn’t allow it.

[You have equipped the ‘Thunder Dragon Staff Spear+1’!]

[You have equipped the ‘Nano-bio Armor’!]

[You have grown stronger!]

Upon wearing the ‘Nano-bio Armor’ for the first time, he discovered that the equipment had some special functions.

[The nano muscle fibers of the ‘Nano-bio Armor’ provide three intelligent modes for you to use. You can switch between ‘Strength Mode’, ‘Armor Mode’, and ‘Speed Mode’.]

After thinking for a moment, Lin Xun selected Armor Mode.

[You activated ‘Armor Mode’, the nano muscle fibers have changed the particle arrangement on the armor surface!]

[Your moving speed has slowed down, but your defense has greatly increased!]

The main purpose of Lily was to gain Knowledge, there’s no need for her to face off against powerful monsters.

Continue exploration.

[At the end of the corridor, there is a tightly closed door. You look at the sign next to the door and it reads ‘Dean’s Office’.]

[You attempt to open the locked door, but found that it is tightly locked.]

Lin Xun snorted, switching to the Earth Giant’s shell.

[You kick open the door, and the entire door along with the door frame flew into the office…]

Switching back to Lily’s shell.

[You entered the ‘Dean’s Office’, carefully stepping over the shattered door…]

[You found a pile of manuscripts on the desk.]

[You have gained ‘Polyvision School – The Manuscript of Dean from Dis Academy’ (Document)]

Lin Xun’s eyes lit up.

This is Knowledge!

In order to unlock more Knowledge, he determinedly clicked on the Document item.

[Polyvision School – Manuscript of the Dean of Dis Academy’ (Document)]

[The new type of eyeball comes from the sea monster in the deep sea. It is said that the eyeball of the sea monster has the terrible ability of Sight of Death. Scholars in the school have suffered heavy casualties in order to capture this creature.]

[I really want to get this pair of eyes, but even with the status of the Dean, I could not afford the eyes even after exhausting all my money.]

[Having no alternative, I had to cancel the surgical ward in the school, compromise with the greedy Bennett, and set up the coach that directly leads to the transplant clinic at the entrance of the academy.]

[Who would have known that Bennett, that demon, had the audacity to demand some of the orphan students sent from the welfare institution.]

[I… I am a criminal, driven by a ever-growing thirst for knowledge, I couldn’t control myself…]

[…]

[Ah, those poor students, I presume all have become Bennett’s raw materials.]

[…]

[Bennett, despite being greedy and evil, honored his promise. He paid me a considerable remuneration.]

[After I bought the pair of eyes from the sea monster, there was still some remuneration left over.]

[I took the opportunity to open a new laboratory in the basement of the Teaching Building as a place to study the new type of eyeball.]

[I moved all the equipment from the original school’s surgical ward into the new lab.]

[I was trembling with excitement… because I was about to transplant the Sea Monster’s eyeball into myself and acquire more great Knowledge…]

Lin Xun silently read the document. The story in the chapter was as dark as ever.

The key information in the document should be the laboratory in the basement of the Teaching Building, and the kobold eyeball with Sight of Death ability.

Just thinking about this Sight of Death ability was terrifying, he didn’t know whether he could acquire the sea monster’s eyeball in the underground laboratory.

[You have gained Knowledge, your Knowledge has increased by 75! Current Knowledge: 125/200]

The effect of Lily’s Knowledge Enhancement skill was about 50%. The last time he used a book, he should have gained 10 Knowledge, but he gained 15 instead, showing the effect of enhancement.

After searching the Dean’s office again, he acquired two ‘Books Containing Some Knowledge’.

According to the 15 Knowledge from one book, the Knowledge that could be increased was currently at 105, which was enough for Knowledge overload.

Lin Xun did not rush to use it, it wasn’t too late to use it after acquiring some more Knowledge.

He controlled Lily to exit the Dean’s office, exploring the next location…
