Survival at sea: My luck is off the charts

Chapter 46 The Final Task 1
  "What the ape-men want is in this high tower." Zhixia looked at the top of the tower, "Unlike the dark world outside, the world in the high tower is like a paradise."

"They are greedy and full of desire; they want to take this tower as their own; but how do they know that no one can open this tower except us, the panda family."

"The key is nothing but a concealment."

"The tower shines like the blazing sun, and the reason why this tower never dims is because of the sacrifices made by our ancestors from generation to generation."

"You said we paid such a high price, how could we give up the tower to others?"

Jiang Shi and He Li remained silent and followed Zhi Xi up the stairs step by step.

The further you go up, the clearer you can see. At the intersection of each staircase, a white round bead is enshrined.

"That white round bead, do you know what it is?" His Majesty smiled contemptuously, "Those are the orbs left behind as sacrifices to each clan leader to maintain the operation of the tower."

The further up he went, the more solemn Jiang Shi's steps became.

The altar above holds more than just one bead.

"We, the panda clan, have lived here for generations, guarding the tower and rarely going out. The bamboo forest outside is a barrier. But one day, the ape-man clan interrupted this peace." Zhixia stopped and looked at the two people, eyes Full of complexity.

"The outsiders told them about the existence of the tower here, saying that there are treasures in the tower that can make people immortal."

Jixia's words came to an abrupt end here, and his eyes were cold, as if he wanted to stare the two of them out of a hole.

Jiang Shi felt nervous because he was being stared at. He poked He Li next to him, signaling him to say something.

"Then...what kind of clan leader, we have no intention of robbing treasures. We are just here to send Hui Hui home and get a reward." He Li smiled and winked.

"Of course I know." Ji Xi turned around and stopped looking at them. "I am not a person who cannot distinguish between right and wrong, good and evil."

"It's just that the reward for you is on this level."

Jixia looked at the bookshelf in front of him, picked out two books and held them in his arms.

"Thank you very much for saving Hui Hui, killing Xiao Lie, and rescuing me and my people. These two books are my thank you gift!"

Zhixia handed the two books to Jiang Shi.

[Ding—a gift from the patriarch! 】

[Name: Shiquan Dabu Soup (recipe)]

[Details: There are various dishes recorded in the recipes, and each dish has a different function. Please collect ingredients, make recipes, and play its due role! 】

[Name: Energy Conservation Structure]

[Details: The book records the structure and functions of various energy stones, as well as methods of drawing various energy arrays, making weapons, and playing their due role! 】

[Mission plot: The secret of the tower has progressed by 50%. 】

Both books have their own uses, and they are completely new areas that have not been touched before. This is definitely not a simple survival game!

The most important thing now is that the mission plot is only 50% complete!

Now they have only reached half of the tower, and there is still 50% left. Are they going to reach the top of the tower?
  Jiang Shi looked up at the top of the tower. The space became smaller as he went up, and the more things he saw as he went up. Although the two books taken down by the patriarch were in the middle of the tower, they were at the bottom of the bookshelf.

"If you want to go to the top of the tower, you can."

Zhixia saw the desire in Jiang Shi's eyes and glanced at He Li who was studying the book.

It slowly said: "As long as you give me something called nectar condensation."

Jiang Shi and He Li couldn't help but be surprised when they heard the words "nectar dripping liquid".

How come this old patriarch also knows about the rewards given by the system?

Seeming to sense their doubts, Zhi came to the stairs, held on to the handrail and said, "If you look down from here, you will know why I want this thing."

Jiang Shi came to the armrest and took a look, and had a clear view of the scene below.

I didn't realize it when I was underneath it, but now when I look at it, I just feel that the disk on the ground is extraordinarily large, with some flowers, trees, streams, and hills carved on it.

Kind of like... a map!
  When people stand below, they won't feel any different from flat ground.

But now when I look down from a high place, I see a map. 【Ding--Story mission: The secret of the tower is 70% progress. 】

This is a bit different from the direction they predicted for the plot mission.

Unexpectedly, the progress was driven by the words of the clan leader.

"This...can't be the map of Dark Night Forest, right?" He Li asked secretly.

If so, this is very different from the current Dark Night Forest.

The subordinates remained silent. When the point was mentioned, they had to guess the rest.

"I'll wait for you here. You can go up to the top of the tower and have a look."

The government extended an invitation to them.

Having said that, I definitely want to go up and see it.

Jiang Shi took He Li to the top of the tower, already having some guesses in his mind.

[Ding—Story mission: The Mystery of the Tower is 100% progressed. 】

[Obtain reward nectar condensation ×1. 】

The moment they stepped out of the tower door, Jiang Shi and He Li were prompted that the system plot was completed.

Since both people received the task, the rewards this time were also distributed separately.

Jiang Shi took out his share of the nectar condensation and handed it to the clan leader. She still had a share in her hand. He Li should keep the share for himself.

Suddenly coming out of a bright place, both of them were still a little uncomfortable with the dark environment, so they hurriedly took out their night vision glasses and put them on.

The patriarch doesn't seem to be bothered by this.

No discomfort at all.

"The clan leader should be used to it, right?" Jiang Shi handed over the nectar condensate.

At this time, the patriarch was no longer as rigid and serious as before. He had a smile on his face and was completely different from before.

"I've lived here for many years, and I've long been used to it. Of course you guys who just came here can't compare to me." Zhixia put the jade dew condensation into his pocket, as if he had found a treasure.

"But I still have to trouble you to help us cut down some bamboo to repair the house."

[Ding—The current task progress is 90%. 】

[The story mission has been triggered: Help the Panda clan repair their territory. 】

The system was busy issuing new tasks.

"Wow, this is really a series of tricks!" He Li muttered, "I thought it would be over with just one."

"my pleasure."

Jiang Shi didn't make any unnecessary remarks. He took advantage of the two books he obtained from the clan leader.

Now, by helping to repair some houses, you can not only earn a favor by the way, but you can also take this opportunity to cut more bamboo.

According to the order of the clan leader, if they go to chop bamboo now, no one will hang them up and whip them, right?

In the short time they had entered the tower, the other pandas had already sorted out most of the tragic situation.

Except for some blood stains that are difficult to clean up and houses that need to be repaired.

Looking now, the pandas' territory is circular, expanding layer by layer around the tower.

When some pandas saw them coming out, they muttered and wanted to surround them.

"Sister Jiang, let's go chop down the tree!"

"I'm scared of them!"
