Chapter 58: Fully Equipped

[Congratulations, player! You have successfully slain the giant tiger and earned the Badge of Valor: Giant Tiger Slayer].

In an instant, five warrior badges dropped onto the ground—just from that, one could imagine how tough this tiger had been.

Fortunately, Jun Ma had lightning-fast reflexes. Without the horse's quick thinking, Su Chen might've ended up as tiger food.

At this moment, Jun Ma's expression was no longer tense from battle. Instead, a victorious smile tugged at the corners of his mouth—he clearly felt like a champion.

Su Chen gently patted Jun Ma's head.

"You really pulled through today. You deserve a big reward."

"This battle drained quite a bit of energy. You'll get a special treat at dinner."

Although the fight was over, Su Chen hadn't quite calmed down yet—the size and ferocity of that tiger had left him shaken.

Jun Ma stayed close, comforting him, while Er Bao had quietly observed the entire battle from start to finish. Only after Su Chen landed the final blow did Er Bao hop down—such an obedient guy.

Right now, the warrior badges weren't particularly useful, but according to the Honor List, collecting a certain number of them would unlock hidden features. Su Chen was definitely intrigued by that.

He now had six badges—just four more and he could activate the first level of hidden features. Almost there. Time to keep pushing forward.

Loot Acquired:

Tiger Meat

Tiger Hide

Tiger Blood

Tiger Bone

Nice! This haul was a total win!

Tiger bone? Su Chen's curiosity was immediately piqued. As soon as he picked it up, a detailed description popped into view.

---

[Tiger Bone]

Description: The skeletal remains of a tiger. Known to strengthen the kidneys, enhance vitality, reinforce muscles and bones, improve intelligence and longevity, promote blood circulation, and relieve muscle tension.

Can be refined into medicinal products—great for reducing inflammation, relieving pain, calming the nerves, detoxifying the body, and treating sores.

---

Turns out it's a top-grade medicinal material—Su Chen had almost mistaken it for a weapon.

He held up the tiger's massive paw and compared it to his own hand—it was five or six times larger!

The medicinal benefits of tiger bone were impressive, especially its detoxifying properties. In this strange, unpredictable world, poisoning could happen at any time. Tiger bone might just save his life someday.

From his knowledge archive, Su Chen recalled that tiger bones could be soaked in white liquor to make a medicinal wine that strengthens the body.

If he could sip on that during this freezing winter, it'd be amazing.

Unfortunately, he hadn't found any white liquor yet—and truthfully, he wasn't a big fan of alcohol anyway. So, that plan would have to wait.

---

[Tiger Meat]

Description: Warm in nature, with a sweet and slightly sour taste. Strengthens the spleen and boosts energy. Helps with gout, nausea, vomiting, swelling, impotence, and urinary issues.

Regular consumption enhances physical fitness and immunity.

---

[Tiger Hide]

Description: Effective in warding off the cold and relieving pain. Can be crafted into a luxurious tiger hide coat—super warm!

---

[Tiger Blood]

Description: Animal blood helps replenish iron and boost blood health. Highly nutritious, though a bit bitter.

Consuming it can enhance combat capabilities.

---

"Wait—tiger meat can help with that too? Strengthening the body and helping with certain... issues? Alright then, eating more tiger meat sounds like a win-win. Man, this beast really was a walking treasure chest. Just the hide alone could be turned into several full-length coats. Imagine how much that would sell for! Probably too expensive to even dream about."

Su Chen figured he'd reward Jun Ma with a sip of tiger blood to boost his combat abilities even more. Next time they fought, he'd be even stronger.

[Ding! Congratulations! Enhancement Successful!]

Tiger Bone → Medicinal Tiger Bone (edible form)

Tiger Blood → Premium Sweet Tiger Blood (with a slight sweetness and higher nutritional value)

Tiger Meat → Top-Grade Tiger Meat (enhanced flavor)

Tiger Hide → Three Finely Crafted Tiger Hide Coats (finished product)

Let's go! That was insanely satisfying!

Especially the coats—they were full-length and incredibly well-made.

Su Chen immediately threw one on. It was his first time wearing genuine leather—and it felt amazing.

This was a total haul. He'd be eating well tonight. A grand tiger meat feast—just thinking about it made his mouth water.

The area was a little crowded though. He didn't want anyone to see what he'd scored, so he quickly stashed all the tiger-related loot into his storage box.

Then he turned to the main event: a large mystery box. This was the real highlight of the day. Su Chen had high hopes for what might be inside.

He had already opened several mystery boxes before, and the rewards had always been great. Judging by the trend, it seemed like the chances of getting a monster were pretty low. So, he wasn't too worried.

He opened the box.

Inside:

One blueprint for a Uzi submachine gun

One small backpack

One cup of milk tea

He carried everything back to the RV. The area still had a few people around, and he really didn't like the feeling of being watched.

After closing the RV doors and drawing all the curtains, he finally felt secure.

Without hesitation, he activated enhancement.

[Ding! Enhancement Successful!]

Uzi Blueprint → Uzi Submachine Gun

Small Backpack → Portable Large-Capacity Backpack (storage doubled)

Cup of Milk Tea → Complete Set of Milk Tea Ingredients

Holy crap, milk tea freedom unlocked! This was perfection.

---

[Uzi Submachine Gun]

Description: Lightweight submachine gun, highly effective in close-range combat. Commonly used by mechanized units as a self-defense weapon.

---

[Backpack]

Description: Massive storage capacity, with excellent portability. No matter how heavy it gets, the user feels zero weight.

---

[Milk Tea]

Description: Come on, do we really need a description? Everyone knows how good this stuff is!

---

Su Chen stared at the items, full of disbelief. A submachine gun? Wasn't that kind of overpowered?

Even just a handgun could dominate most encounters here—now he had an Uzi. Probably the only one in the world.

The backpack was going to be incredibly useful. He could now venture out for supplies with much greater efficiency. This thing would save him a ton of energy. Absolutely amazing.

He took a sip of milk tea—surprisingly, it tasted really good.

---

Meanwhile, Wu Luxi was hiding behind a tree, shivering from head to toe.

Her legs gave out and she collapsed to the ground.

"Su Chen… is on another level…"

She had been searching for Su Chen for days. Just when she finally found him, she also found… a giant tiger. But before she could even panic, Su Chen took it down in seconds.

Wu Luxi was completely dumbfounded.
