Global Fog Survival

Is this all the system’s rewards? Indeed, this is all…

Colin wasn’t surprised by the meager rewards since he had learned that the system’s rewards were often stingy. He didn’t have high expectations. Just as he was about to collect the spoils, a system prompt sounded in his mind.

[Detection of “Suffering Hunter” title upgrade conditions met. Upgrading automatically.]

As soon as the message ended, a sharp pain appeared on the back of Colin’s right hand, and a blood-red tattoo slowly surfaced. He squinted and used the hint to gain relevant information. Before anyone noticed the mark, he discreetly covered his right hand with his left.

[Name: Suffering Hunter]

[Type: Level 2 Title]

[Usage: Mark (can be hidden): A simple sketch of a bonfire.]

[Attributes: You will receive a 50% increase in all personal attributes (minimum 0.5, increase less than 0.1 will not be calculated).]

[Special Effect 1: “Hunting Time”: When you actively use this skill, your strength, agility, and endurance will be increased by 2.5 times, entering a hunter state (lasts ten minutes, can be extended up to thirty minutes, but will result in temporary fatigue; cooldown 1 to 3 hours).]

[Special Effect 2: “Mutant Mentor”: Due to your outstanding kill of a “lord-level mutant,” you have advanced from “Scholar” to “Mentor.” In future battles against mutants, you will trigger the exclusive “Weakness Perception” effect!]

[Note 2: Too much strange knowledge…]

After quickly scanning the information, Colin was stunned by a new message.

[You have killed the lord-level mutant “Mourning Watcher” and gained the chance to extract one of its skills.]

Colin’s face lit up. A lord-level mutant’s skill! It couldn’t be something as trivial as a jumping rope, right?

“Extract…”

With a thought, Colin initiated the extraction.

[Congratulations, you have acquired the skill “Mental Pierce,” which has been integrated into your title.]

[Special Effect 3: “Mental Pierce”: By expending a certain amount of mental energy, you can launch a “Mental Pierce” at an enemy through your gaze. This skill is 100% fatal to mutants, usable three times a day.]

[Note 3: Gaze that kills! Gaze that kills! Gaze that kills!]

[Notice: This title has growth potential. The next upgrade condition: Kill ten lord-level mutants.]

Ten… best not to think about that for now.

“Not bad, but what if my right hand gets injured? Also, won’t the skill activation mark be noticeable, making it easy to kill me?”

After a quick evaluation, Colin hid the mark. Everything happened within ten seconds, and since there was no one else around except Sanna, no one noticed his anomaly.

At this moment, he looked at the items dropped by the “Mourning Watcher,” his eyes gleaming slightly.

“Congratulations, you have obtained ‘Rare Tainted Blood’ 32ml.”

“Congratulations, you have obtained ‘Twisted Soul.'”

“Congratulations, you have obtained ‘Broken Three-Branch Candelabrum.'”

“Congratulations, you have obtained ‘Meditation Headscarf.'”

“Congratulations, you have obtained ‘Silent Mask.'”

“Congratulations, you have obtained ‘Golden Ritual Robe.'” “

Congratulations, you have obtained ‘Charred Putrid Flesh’ *6.”

“Congratulations, you have obtained ‘Mature Brain’ *1.”

“…”

Colin’s eyes brightened at the sight of the rare blood, as he was more interested in it than the other items.

[“Rare Tainted Blood”: Fresh red tainted blood that seems to wriggle and flow even when collected.]

[Hint: You estimate that every 100ml burns for six hours, with a lighting radius of fifteen meters. It requires 300ml of regular blood to produce 100ml of this rare blood.]

“Fifteen meters radius… let’s see, 3.14 times… over 700 square meters!”

Colin’s eyes lit up, planning for expansion, but then he frowned.

“Why only six hours? One hundred ml of regular blood burns for three hours, so shouldn’t three hundred ml burn for nine hours?”

Where did the missing three hours go? Did the system consume it? Or was it diluted?

Colin didn’t mind the quantity of blood since he could always synthesize more rare blood using [1ml of rare tainted blood + 300ml of ordinary tainted blood = 101ml of rare tainted blood].

“Never mind…”

Colin paused his thoughts on large-scale expansion. While 100ml of ordinary blood might not seem like much, outfitting every team with it would be costly. He decided to equip only a few elite teams, as even someone as wealthy as Colin couldn’t afford it—at least not yet.

“Now, this…”

Colin glanced past the “Twisted Soul” to the three items behind it.

[“Broken Three-Branch Candelabrum”: A six-meter-tall giant metal candelabrum, weighing several tons, crafted with superior workmanship and resistant to easy damage.] [

Note: You can’t swing it.]

[Hint: A candelabrum adorned with thorns, possibly from the underground region.]

The note was too blunt. Colin set the candelabrum aside, knowing it was too heavy to move easily.

[“Silent Mask”: A black metal mask made entirely of “Thorns of Suffering.” Using it can render an area completely silent and strip a life form of all external senses.]

[Note: Shut up!]

[Hint: You realize that if it weren’t already insane and unable to use this item, you’d be in big trouble.]

[“Golden Ritual Robe”: Wearing it grants “Rock-Solid” passive and doubles your recovery, constitution, strength, and endurance.]

[Effect: When the wearer stands on the ground, they cannot be knocked back and enter a super-armor state.]

[Hint: A robe woven of gold, its material is ordinary, and you are puzzled by its undamaged state. You speculate about the source of its mysterious nature…]

[You realize that all its mystery comes from a blurry image on it, drawn simply to depict a pair of female legs.]

[Despite the simple lines, you find yourself forming a mental image of perfect female legs, fair and delicate, beautiful and sacred but entwined with black thorns, bleeding onto the ground… suggesting a mysterious meaning.]

[You realize that it’s not simple…]

“So many words for so much nonsense…”

Colin shook his head, clearing the LSP (lecherous scholar perspective) images from his mind.
