[Water Ghost's Ghost Claw]
[Goblin's Sharp Fang]
[Scary Chest's Tongue Meat]
[Snow Monster's Fur]
Four pictures were sent out directly.
When everyone saw the images Ethan posted, they almost simultaneously sucked in a cold breath and said, ["They're actually real materials."]
["What is that claw thing? So disgusting, it looks like a human hand! And it says ghost claw on it. Ugh! There are really water ghosts in this world? That's terrifying. I don't even dare go into the water to bathe anymore!"]
["Goblin's sharp fang? This fang looks kind of like that green-hatted freak old man not far from my house. So that thing is called a goblin!"]
["There really are scary chests. Good thing I've never run into one when opening treasure chests. Looks like next time I see a wooden chest, I'll have to be careful too!"]
["Snow monster fur. This looks so warm. I want one too!"]
["Wait!"], Ethan suddenly heard someone mention wooden treasure chests and hurriedly asked, ["I've never seen wooden treasure chests. The lowest-level chest I've seen is a bronze chest. The others are silver chests, gold chests, platinum chests, lucky chests…"]
["The lowest level is bronze?"]
Everyone sucked in another cold breath, then started talking all at once, ["How is that possible? I've opened ten wooden treasure chests this whole week and only managed to open one bronze chest. I thought bronze was already the best chest I could open at my current stage."]
["Same here. I've only opened bronze chests twice. Inside were some cosmetics, some high-grade wood, and some water. I was so happy I almost lost my mind."]
["I've opened one silver chest, but I almost got killed by nearby white wolves. Luckily, I survived because the lord lent me the slide-tackle skill. Inside were ten spirit stones and a blueprint for a fur coat."]
["So jealous of the person above. I've never even seen what a silver chest looks like. All this time I've only ever seen wooden and bronze chests."]
["Same as above. I've only seen a bronze chest once. It had a lot of advanced materials inside. Most wooden chests are just daily supplies, and not many of them either. With that time wasted, you might as well go logging!"]
["That's not necessarily true. I opened a bronze axe from a wooden chest once. It's pretty useful."]
Everyone spoke one after another.
Listening to them, Ethan could almost confirm one thing.
That was that this fog world was unfair. Most weak players encountered only ordinary-level monsters, like wolves, foxes, and other weak trash mobs.
But players as strong as him encountered stronger enemies the stronger they became.
There was even a tendency for the enemies to keep getting stronger.
For example, the monsters Ethan encountered at the beginning were only Gale Snakes and Lightning Leopards. Later on, he started running into Cat Demons, Nightmare Rats, and then Treants… They were getting stronger one by one.
He had finally managed to raise his physical defense and physical attack, and then he started encountering all kinds of magic-attack monsters.
It was almost like the world was deliberately targeting his weaknesses.
He even started to suspect…
'Could it be that this world automatically matches monsters to players?'
As Ethan's four photos of monster materials were sent out, the admiration points never stopped.
Suddenly…
[Admiration +10]
[Admiration +6]
[From Jerry's jealousy, Admiration critical hit +15]
[From Sunny's envy, Admiration critical hit +30]
[Admiration…]
[Admiration reached 100. Gained Leadership Reward: Special-Grade Fruit Platter x1!]
[PS: After finishing the fruit, remember to keep the seeds for planting.]
'Special-grade fruit platter?'
After seeing the prompt, Ethan opened the warehouse.
Sure enough, he found an extra fruit platter inside. But this platter was way too big.
Inside a silver fruit tray that took up an entire tabletop was an enormous variety of fruit. There was a big watermelon, several bunches of grapes, a large durian, a few apples, a bunch of bananas, and some oranges.
These fruits looked somewhat similar to the ones Ethan usually ate, but some had strange shapes and some had strange colors.
For example, the watermelon was square.
[Square Watermelon: A specially bred sweet watermelon. Juicy, guaranteed sweet and sandy in texture. An absolute summer cooling fruit. Special effect: Fatigue removal +100%]
There were also several bunches of grapes that were ruby red in color.
And each grape was actually the size of a ping-pong ball, absurdly large.
[Ruby Grapes: Absolutely full of grape flavor, with just the right level of sweetness. It won't make you feel sick from being overly sweet. When used to brew wine, it produces a peerless vintage. Even wine offered in tribute to the dragon race would be no better than this.]
The durian was actually purple.
It didn't look like a durian so much as some kind of devil fruit.
But since the label on the fruit said durian, Ethan had no choice but to accept that purple durians really did exist in this world.
[Top-Grade Purple Durian: A soft and creamy delicacy, like ice cream. It's currently durian season, but the yield of this top-grade purple durian is extremely low. Even royalty doesn't dare eat it freely. Special effect: Full of energy +100%]
The remaining fruits were triangular apples, yellow bananas with circular patterns on their skins, and blood-red oranges.
They were respectively called…
[Pyramid Apple: A legendary apple said to never rot even after being placed inside a pyramid for a thousand years. These pyramid apples are a special variety cultivated from that original apple and contain time elements. Eating more increases affinity with time elements.]
[PS: This is the favorite fruit of the time magus, Dumbledili.]
[Extinct Rice Seven Banana: A mutated variety of an ancient, extinct banana species. It has an even stronger banana flavor than any other banana. That rich banana-oil aroma can be extracted to make many desserts! Special effect: Strength +50%]
[Blood-Scarlet Orange: Causes werewolves to transform on sight. A fruit said to resemble the blood moon the most. It is a werewolf's favorite fruit and is rumored to directly awaken berserk mode. Special effect: Berserk effect +100%]
This fruit platter really came at the perfect time.
Having just obtained such a platter, Ethan naturally wouldn't miss such a great chance to show off.
He immediately took a mental screenshot of the massive fruit platter and once again sent it to the regional chat, adding the caption, ["Sigh! I just accidentally opened another full Imperial Feast-level fruit banquet. I can't even finish it. What am I supposed to do?"]
Naturally, Ethan wasn't going to tell the players that these came from converting their admiration points.
Otherwise, if they found out and stopped being jealous of him... Wouldn't all his effort be for nothing?
[T/N: On another note, MC is always running behind prompts from the system so he always encounters strong monsters and chests. Other are doing it randomly.]
