Apocalypse: My Apartment Has Traits

Chapter 57: Chapter 51: Smoked Meat Room

The gaze of the uncle and sister-in-law was instantly captured by the line of words in the center of the blueprint, their breath even stalled.

Zhao Yaxin’s pupils trembled!

Tier One Blueprint!?

Is it really a Tier One Blueprint!?

Although she had mentioned before that the gold vending machine might produce a Tier One Blueprint, it was ultimately an elusive rumor.

Not to mention herself, no one in the Su Family had ever witnessed it in person!

However, now she saw the validation of the rumor.

And it was even personally bought by her little brother-in-law!!

“Your luck… your luck!”

Zhao Yaxin couldn’t help herself, her slender white hand suddenly gripping Su Lin’s arm, her nails nearly digging into his flesh, her voice carrying an incredulous tremble.

Su Lin gulped hard.

Family matters are best understood by the family.

The low-level resources he picked up along the way were thanks to the “King of the Garbage Can,” and the enhanced slaughter saber was the reason for the meat.

Only this blueprint was truly a stroke of fortune from the heavens.

“Don’t, don’t be hasty, let’s first see what the blueprint actually is.” Su Lin took a deep breath, suppressing the frantic beating of his heart.

“Yes! Look quickly!” Zhao Yaxin at this moment didn’t care about keeping distance as uncle and sister-in-law, her mature and full figure pressing close to him, eagerly peering forward, her gaze burning as she stared at the blueprint.

Su Lin also had no distractions, fully focused on reading the information on the blueprint:

“Special Room Construction Blueprint: Smoked Meat Room”

“Tier One Blueprint”

“Place raw meat inside the smoked meat room, after two weeks of smoking, this meat can be elevated by one tier (ordinary beast meat can also be elevated to Tier One Smoked Treasure Meat), up to Tier Two Smoked Treasure Meat. Each smoking process can only handle two pieces of meat simultaneously, and can only smoke raw meat, not repeat smoking on finished products.”

“Construction requires at least a Level 4 Safe House.”

“During the smoking process, consuming two silver coins daily.”

Not a mechanism blueprint?

A sliver of disappointment crossed Su Lin’s mind.

But when he read every single piece of information, an unexplainable joy instantly swept away that bit of disappointment—this thing… seems even more useful?!

Zhao Yaxin’s voice trembled after reading, “Elevate, elevate treasure meat?!”

Su Lin probed by asking, “How does this compare to a Tier One mechanism?”

Zhao Yaxin looked at him as if he were an idiot, “A treasure that can produce Tier Two Treasure Meat, and you’re comparing with a Tier One mechanism?”

“Then how about exchanging it for a mechanism blueprint with Shunfeng Travel Group next week?”

He understood the blueprint’s value, but to him, a mechanism blueprint was urgently needed right now.

“No way!”

Zhao Yaxin almost instinctively rejected fiercely:

“This blueprint is absolutely not for swapping! Not even for sale! Must be kept for our own use!”

She declared firmly, then furrowed her eyebrows, silent for a moment, then spoke hesitantly:

“…better let your grandfather make the decision. This is too precious, people from the township would go crazy for it! Tier Two Treasure Meat, that’s a treasure that allows First-Transformed Martial Artists to push for higher-tier genetic locks!”

With that said, Su Lin instantly realized the weight of this blueprint.

Zhao Yaxin’s expression turned extremely serious, staring tightly at him:

“Put the blueprint away! We must leave here immediately! Just now we didn’t encounter any mutant beasts, it might have been cleared by people from Black Scale Village, they could return at any time!”

“Understood!” Su Lin didn’t hesitate, quickly tucking the blueprint close to himself.

The two of them immediately began rummaging through the corpses and belongings of Zhou Song and others.

Aside from finding a small bag of coins, there were only eight bulging snakeskin bags piled by the wall.

They packed up everything to take along.

Before leaving, Su Lin paused, his eyes flashing with cold light, suddenly drawing a long saber, and with a fierce cut toward Zhou Song’s neck!

With that slash, Su Lin intentionally mimicked the feeling of the sword uncle used yesterday.

It was not relying on mere physical power, but triggering the energy within the body, bursting forth along with the move.

Thus,

Splat—!

Decapitation.

Previously, he wanted to try this with that python.

But after all, in actual combat, he thought about it but couldn’t execute.

Now he finally made it happen.

This slash only exerted half of his power.

But was clean and decisively enough to sever the neck of a Tendon Lock Martial Artist!

Axing a head close range, no matter how big-hearted Su Lin was, the first time would still feel somewhat uncomfortable, his face turning slightly pale.

But then he gritted his teeth, reaching out to grab Zhou Song’s scattered long hair, lifting the head.

Then deftly removing Zhou Song’s pants, stuffing the bloody head inside, and tying tight the leg openings.

Zhao Yaxin watched in stunned disbelief.

Su Lin took a deep breath, suppressing the churning in his stomach, explaining:

“Earlier I noticed Zhou Song seemed to be the leader among them, so I shot his head with a crossbow arrow. The hand crossbow’s power was tremendous, leaving a conspicuous piercing wound, needed to destroy the evidence, can’t leave Black Scale Village any clues.”

While speaking, he went to destroy the crossbow arrow marks on the back wall, the arrow itself had flown who knows where after piercing through a wall, no time to search for it.

Bold and meticulous! Zhao Yaxin secretly praised in her heart, nodding silently.

Though complex in explanation, Su Lin’s movements were seamless, handling it all in less than a minute.

After that, neither dared delay, swiftly retracing their steps, picking up the previously discarded three snakeskin bags, rapidly evacuating the area of turmoil.

Su Lin kept his eyes locked on the pants holding the head, ensuring no bloodstains would drip and reveal their trail.

After a mad dash of several kilometers, Su Lin finally found a lone mutant beast, heaving the “bundle” in his hand far towards it.

Consider it treating this lucky beast to a meal.

Not until then did Su Lin’s tense nerves completely relax, a huge sense of satisfaction surging in his heart.

Today… struck it rich!

On his back, tightly bound with red cloth, was a seventy to eighty pound slab of glossy beast meat, two bulging snakeskin bags hung from his shoulders, his hands carrying two bags each, all over loaded with “spoils.”

Had it been last week, he would’ve collapsed by now.

Though it can’t be said he moved with the grace of a swallow now, his steps were steady, running swiftly.

Zhao Yaxin’s condition was similar, she carried her three bags and two more seized from the people of Black Scale Village.

These bags, Su Lin had checked meticulously, they bore no marks

The eleven bags divided between them, laden and returned full.

“Sister-in-law, let’s head straight home,” Su Lin decided decisively.

“Alright!” Zhao Yaxin’s reply was crisp and firm.

She appeared calm, but her heart still pounded violently.

Not only did they kill Black Scale Village’s second figure Zhou Song, they also obtained a priceless smoked meat room blueprint!

Not returning immediately to the safety of the village, she felt uneasy.

Recalling all her little brother-in-law did along the way—decisive, ruthless, meticulous, impossibly lucky…

Zhao Yaxin’s gaze towards him subtly changed.

He indeed became much more reliable.

It’s just… this boldness is a bit too much.
