Saving the World in an Apocalypse-Style Text Game

Chapter 48: Chapter 51: The Yellow Bishop Pursuing the Sunset_1 Chapter 48: Chapter 51: The Yellow Bishop Pursuing the Sunset_1 [You continue to follow the lingering glow of the ‘Crimson Sunset’…]

[You notice a strange gray lizard scurrying among the pile of white bones beneath your feet, carrying something that sparkles with a spiritual light on its back.]

Another reward is coming. Judging from the descriptions, this lizard is slightly different from the Ore Lizard I encountered earlier.

Without waiting for the options to appear, Lin Xun directly clicks on the “Thunder Dragon Staff Spear”.

[Impatient Apostle, you thrust the point of your ‘Thunder Dragon Staff Spear’ into the ground.]

[You have defeated the ‘Great Spiritual Lizard’, and your experience points have slightly increased.]

[You have obtained ‘Nameless Weakened Spirituality’ *1]

This type of lizard seems to be specially designed for granting rewards, providing not just Forging Stones but also Spirituality.

He stows away the Spirituality item, earning another 300 points of Spirituality.

[You continue to follow the lingering glow of the ‘Crimson Sunset’…]

[You notice the pile of white bones beneath your feet…]

Lin Xun waits for the text to appear then directly selects the weapon.

He takes out another giant Ore Lizard and once again obtains a high-grade Forging Stone.

He follows the direction of the Crimson Sunset intermittently, occasionally running into these reward-granting lizards.

In total, he obtains three high-grade Forging Stones and five Nameless Weakened Spiritualities, accumulating a total of 1500 Spirituality points.

These risk-free rewards are as easy as automatically checking in, truly unearned gifts.

[You continue to follow the lingering glow of the ‘Crimson Sunset’…]

[The heap of white bones beneath your feet rumbles as if there is an earthquake. A gigantic yellow lizard burrows out from not far away. Its carriage-sized body flickers with golden lightning. Its vertical pupils glare at you with a look of hatred.]

[Would you bravely attack it or turn around and run away?]

I killed its offspring, and now the parent arrives?

This giant lizard seems to be an elite monster or a mini-boss of sorts.

Currently, the Yellow Bishop’s strength is remarkable, so there’s no need to fear it.

Lin Xun selects attack without hesitation.

[You raise your Staff Spear, whispering a spell…]

[The enormous lizard, flashing with electric light, pounces at you.]

[A flash of red light…]

[You have defeated the ‘Thunder Dragon Lizard’, and your experience points have greatly increased.]

[You have obtained ‘Thunder Enchantment Stone’ *1]

[You have obtained ‘Giant Dragon Orb’ (item)]

The fight was still effortless, the monster was defeated with a single skill from the Yellow Bishop.

Lin Xun quickly opens the item tab to check.

[High-Level Thunder Enchantment Stone: This magical enchantment stone imbued with Thunder forces can be used for permanent enchantments on Epic and Legendary Grade equipment. Requires learning relevant forging skills to use.]

Lin Xun’s eyes widen. Previously, he obtained ‘Enchanted Moonlight Sandpaper’, of which every use was extremely sparing, as if wishing to tear a sheet of sandpaper in half for use.

Now this stone allows for a permanent enchantment on his Epic weapon. Although it’s not imbued with the power of the White Moon, Thunder forces sound amazing too!

“I’ve hit the jackpot!”

Moreover, his weapon is called the “Thunder Dragon Staff Spear”. Only with an enchantment of Thunder forces can it truly live up to its name.

However, enchanting also falls under forging. Therefore, the blacksmith cannot operate this enchantment stone, so he has to carry out this operation back at the Library.

He checks the other item.

[Giant Dragon Orb (item): These orbs, which are only found within the bodies of giant dragons are mysteriously present within a lizard. Little Apostle, have you ever considered the possibility that it might be the true chosen child? Upon use, it can release the aura of a giant dragon, causing low-level creatures like reptiles, dragon hybrids, and muddled blood dragons to not dare retaliate.]

This item is likely the key to defeating the Subspecies Sea Dragon.

Simply by reading the item description, it can be inferred that upon using this item, the Sea Dragon boss would kneel in defeat, not daring to fight back.

“Making the boss take a one-sided beating, the rewards from the hidden map are indeed generous!”

[You continue to follow the lingering glow of the ‘Crimson Sunset’…]

This time, he traveled for quite a while without encountering any more reward-granting lizards.

Lin Xun opens up the Shell tab and notices that he can no longer possess the Shell of the Law Knight. It requires consumption of 1 point of Soul Strength for reshaping.

This indicates that the fake death items have expired, meaning any rewards moving forward are due to exploiting bugs.

He feels a slight excitement in his heart, the kind of thrill one feels when hacking a game to explore hidden areas.

[After a long journey, you reach the end of the Abyss…]

[The previously dim red sky suddenly brightens. The desolate land is bare, except for a solitary mountain in the distance where the ‘Crimson Sunset’ still hangs unchanged.]

[Do you want to keep moving forward?]

[You continue to follow the lingering glow of the ‘Crimson Sunset’…]

The narrative froze for a long while this time.

Too bad his warhorse had been sacrificed, otherwise he could have hastened his pace.

Lin Xun puts down his phone and looks up.

The living room in the apartment was a bit messy, and the girl in white clothes was busily cleaning up.

Upon seeing this, he swiftly moved to help. Lu Caiyi blushed and quietly thanked him, handing him a broom and grabbed a mop to start mopping the floor.

They both busied themselves for quite a while before finally tidying up the living room.

After finishing the job, he checked his phone again, and the narrative had a new update.

[The long sprint made you pant heavily and feel weak. You start to feel somewhat fatigued…]

…

[The long sprint made you pant heavily and feel very weak. You start feeling very fatigued…]

…

[The long sprint made you pant heavily and feel weak. You’re exhausted to the limit and even a little movement feels like a luxury.]

Upon seeing this narrative, Lin Xun knew trouble was coming. The nun had previously fallen unconscious due to overuse of skills, resulting in excessive fatigue, and required 12 hours to recover.

During the farming session with the Blood Sun Cultist, a similar narrative also appeared. However, fatigue level would be restored after leveling up.

The Yellow Bishop’s lean body screams frailty.

It makes sense that a mage would have a frail constitution and might not be good at running marathons…

As the Yellow Bishop was about to pass out from exhaustion, Lin Xun suddenly remembered that he had an item to restore fatigue.

He quickly opens the item tab.

[Sunflower Seed (item): It’s an oval-shaped, sharp fruit carrying the power of the Profane Blood Sun. It seems like you could eat it once you peel off the shell. After use, it can restore certain physical strength for those who worship the Blood Sun.]

There were still three ‘Sunflower Seeds’ lying quietly in the item tab.

Lin Xun quickly utilizes it.

[You have used a ‘Sunflower Seed’.]

[Your ‘Fallen Yellow Bishop of the White Moon Church’ shell’s fatigue has been eased.]

[You feel energetic and refreshed, ready to lift your Staff Spear for a big fight at any moment.]

After alleviating the fatigue, he had the Yellow Bishop continue running again.

[After a long journey, you finally reach the foot of the ‘Peak of the Glow’.]
