Apocalypse Descends: I Win Effortlessly by Turning Trash into Treasure

This time, when Perry Yates dug an opening in the wall, the remaining part didn’t vanish as it had before.

Seeing this, Perry Yates knew she had succeeded. This was a sign that the space had been stabilized.

After digging out the entire remaining section, she didn’t immediately remove the Infrastructure Space Stones. Instead, she left them in place to continue stabilizing the surrounding space.

To permanently and completely stabilize the space, it would take at least three hours.

Afterward, Perry Yates used the remaining four Infrastructure Space Stones one after another, expanding three more areas.

「Day fifteen of the game.」

First thing in the morning, Perry Yates heard the game system’s notification that she could leave. As expected, she chose to decline and then continued to throw herself into her grand project.

At the same time, the other players also heard the game system’s notification. Some chose to leave, while others chose to stay.

This game was more a test of one’s resources and luck.

Players who were lucky or had abundant resources to begin with might not have had it completely easy in this game, but it was close.

But those who were unlucky and had little strength or resources had it rough. Going hungry for days on end was a common occurrence.

Sometimes, it wasn’t an enemy that defeated you, but the hunger gnawing at your own body.

Perry Yates had a very peaceful day. She used the six Infrastructure Space Stones in her possession to expand her cave considerably.

For light, Perry Yates took out the Bright Mushrooms she had found way back in the first round of the game.

Besides being delicious and able to enhance one’s Night Vision, these mushrooms had another characteristic: they could glow in the dark, and the darker the environment, the brighter they shone.

Perry Yates planted these mushrooms everywhere and used her body’s energy to accelerate their growth. Soon, the entire cave was filled with Bright Mushrooms. The once-dark environment became as bright as day, but the light wasn’t harsh on the eyes.

Perry Yates casually plucked a Bright Mushroom from the wall and roasted it over the fire. In just a moment, the aroma of grilled mushroom filled the air.

Perry Yates absolutely loved these mushrooms that were both delicious and useful. ’It was definitely the right choice not to eat them all back then.’

「Day sixteen of the game.」

Perry Yates felt that the cave shouldn’t just expand forward, backward, left, and right; it needed to expand up and down as well.

She looked up at the ceiling, then down at the floor, and ultimately decided to start with the floor.

After placing the Infrastructure Space Stone, Perry Yates began to dig an hour later.

The moment the floor was breached, Perry Yates suddenly had a bad feeling. Immediately after, the bracelet on her wrist began to grow faintly hot.

Before she could react, a strange wind blew out from the newly opened hole, causing the surrounding temperature to drop considerably.

Realizing what was happening, Perry Yates instantly retreated several steps to a safe distance.

It was probably because of the Infrastructure Space Stones that the temperature here didn’t rise over time.

So, a sudden drop in temperature now was clearly a sign of trouble.

This situation lasted for about half an hour, and Perry Yates was covered in goosebumps.

Although there was nothing around her, she still felt a presence, something that was gradually weakening as time passed.

When the bracelet on her wrist completely cooled down, Perry Yates finally let out a sigh of relief. ’Looks like it’s gone.’

She returned to the spot she had just dug and finished excavating the rest of the area.

Perry Yates looked into the space below. Illuminated by the light, the sight of what was inside made her body instinctively recoil a few steps, and she couldn’t help but shiver.

There, in the limited space below, lay a corpse that had been reduced to a complete skeleton.

Recalling the sudden drop in temperature and the unseen danger from before, Perry Yates couldn’t help but wonder, ’Could all of that just now have been the work of this corpse’s ghost?’

At this thought, Perry Yates shivered again.

After a long moment of psyching herself up, she finally mustered the courage to jump down.

Besides the skeleton, the entire space looked like a room, complete with a bed for resting, a table, a cabinet, and a chair.

On the cabinet were many journals, covered in a thick layer of dust. It looked like no one had been here for a very long time.

Perry Yates picked up one of the journals, wanting to see what was written inside.

However, when she opened it, she was dumbfounded, because she couldn’t recognize a single character written on the pages.

In her previous games, the writing systems had all been mutually intelligible, so she had naturally assumed this one would be too. But... what the hell was this script that looked like a bunch of tiny dancing people?

’Are these even really words?’

Perry Yates studied it for a long time but couldn’t figure out what kind of writing it was, so she decided to stop torturing herself.

’There’s nothing difficult in the world if you’re willing to give up. It’s best to leave professional matters to the professionals.’

And yes, the "professionals" she was referring to were the people at the Survival Game Administration.

Perry Yates was confident that if she handed these journals over to the people at the Survival Game Administration, they certainly wouldn’t mind deciphering the text for her for free.

Thinking of this, Perry Yates collected all the journals and stored them in her space.

After doing all this, she finally turned her attention to the skeletal remains that had been dead for a very long time.

There was nothing else of value on the skeleton. His flesh had long since rotted away, so the only thing left was probably his clothing.

The clothing was a long, hooded robe, indigo in color with what appeared to be gold thread embroidered along the edges. Although the design wasn’t very complex, it exuded an air of understated luxury.

Moreover, this person had clearly been dead for a very long time, yet aside from looking a bit faded, his clothes were completely undamaged.

"Identification."

[Magic Robe

The Magic Robe left behind by the last Mage in the world. It holds a unique significance. Put it on, recite the incantation, and you will become a Mage.]

"Looks like this is a Magic Tool."

Perry Yates reached out and pulled the Magic Robe off the skeleton.

The Magic Robe was soft to the touch; clearly, it was no ordinary item.

However, Perry Yates had no intention of wearing it herself. After all, it had been someone’s personal clothing, which felt a bit weird. Besides, to cast Magic, she would need to wear the Magic Robe and recite an incantation, and she didn’t even know what the incantation was.

’So, I’ll just take this Magic Robe back and find a ’fated person’ for it.’

"The incantation might be hidden in those journals."
