Global Fog Survival

Chapter 17: The Suffering Hunter



“Congratulations on completing the triggered quest ‘Bring Peace to the Children.’ You have been awarded 10 Fog Points, 100 ml of Ordinary Tainted Blood, 10 Stiff Black Bread, and a Title Attribute Gift Box.”

“Quest rewards have been sent to your [inventory]. Please check.”

Colin immediately poured the 100 ml of Ordinary Tainted Blood into the almost depleted lantern.

In an instant, the dim candlelight brightened, pushing the fog from a five-meter radius to ten meters away.

His field of vision suddenly expanded!

“Not only does it burn for three hours, but the light range has also changed.”

Colin was stunned, his activity space had doubled, and he took a moment to adjust.

On reflection, he recalled a hint about the range expanding but had ignored the extent.

As Colin was about to use Fog Points to “heal” his injuries, additional system text appeared before him.

“Task Completion Rating: S (SSS is the highest).”

“Due to your excellent performance in nearly perfectly completing the quest, additional rewards will be granted.”

“Congratulations! You have obtained ‘Recovery Card *1,’ added to your inventory!”

“Congratulations! You have obtained ‘Level 1 Inventory Expansion Card *1,’ automatically used due to insufficient inventory slots!”

“Congratulations! You have obtained ‘Fog Points *10,’ added to your inventory!”

“Congratulations! You have obtained ‘Treasure Map Fragment *1,’ added to your inventory!”

A series of four rewards flashed before his eyes, and Colin couldn’t suppress a smile.

He quickly opened his [inventory], which now had thirty-six slots!

“Recovery Card (Lord Only): Completely restores all bodily functions and removes all negative effects.”

“Note: As long as there’s a breath left, this person won’t die. Even Death can’t change that, I promise!”

“Tsk, this note is cheeky.”

Colin chuckled and immediately used the [Recovery Card].

The next second, he felt a special power sweep over him, and in less than a second, all his pain vanished!

“Woohoo~”

Colin exhaled deeply.

The feeling of being healthy again was fantastic!

“Congratulations, Lord!” His two servants immediately congratulated him.

Colin waved them off and then looked at the attribute gift box in his inventory, deciding to open it. A black iron badge appeared in its place.

“Name: Suffering Hunter.”

“Type: Level 1 Title.”

“Usage: Wear on any part of the body.”

“Attribute: When wearing this title, all your personal attributes will increase by thirty percent (minimum not less than 0.3, increase less than 0.1 are not counted).”

“Special Effect 1: ‘Hunting Time’: When this skill is activated, your strength, agility, and endurance will double, entering an extremely calm hunter mode (lasts three minutes, can be extended to ten minutes, but will cause temporary fatigue, cooldown 1-3 hours).”

“Note 1: Weakness can sometimes follow after excessive exhaustion…”

“Special Effect 2: ‘Mutant Scholar’: After killing one hundred ‘mutants,’ you will activate the exclusive ‘Weakness Perception’ effect when facing ‘mutants’ (the effect acquisition speed slows if the enemy is too strong).”

“Note 2: No tricks, just skill.”

“Attention: This title has growth potential. Next upgrade condition: Kill one lord-level mutant, three elite mutants, and one hundred ordinary mutants.”

Seeing the familiar description, Colin’s eyes lit up. The benefits of overall attribute enhancement were obvious.

Although it was not as powerful as the priest’s wheel weapon at the moment, this percentage increase would grow with him.

Even now, a 0.3 increase in all attributes is significant for Colin.

And that first special effect was a godsend!

Strength, agility, endurance—basically, “stronger, faster, more resilient.”

If used wisely, Colin could turn many desperate situations around.

Its importance was self-evident.

“But this note is a bit cheeky…” Colin scoffed internally. “Real men only need three minutes.”

Besides the active effect, the second special effect was also quite strong.

Most of the enemies in the gray fog were “mutants.” With this skill, he naturally suppressed all “mutants.”

He could quickly target their weak points for a fatal blow.

However, this effect somewhat overlapped with Colin’s golden finger, as he could also learn an enemy’s weak points through prompts.

One was a passive, instinctive ability, while the other required active thinking, with different effects.

“Wait, these two can be used together. Against stronger monsters, I can use prompts and this passive to quickly find weak points, even for high-level enemies…”

The only downside was that it only applied to mutants.

But most monsters in the fog seemed to be “mutants” for now, making it perfect for the early stages.

More importantly, this title could grow!

Though its growth potential was unknown, its current attributes were already terrifying to Colin. The next upgrade could be even more powerful.

Colin pinned the “Suffering Hunter” badge inside his jacket pocket, immediately feeling a pleasant sensation throughout his body.

The first noticeable change was his improved vision, which was followed by physical and mental enhancements.

Colin felt like he could face ten opponents!

“Treasure Map Fragment *3: Collect seven fragments to obtain a complete treasure map. Exploring the treasure map will yield rich rewards!”

“Note: Obtain through quests or killing monsters.”

“You realize there might be such a fragment outside your home. Starting a treasure hunt early is crucial for your growth.”

“Three fragments… The other two came from that female survivor. She must have found something.”

After a quick glance, Colin refocused, not planning to review his gains here.

He was still in the wild, which is not an ideal place.

So far, he hasn’t stopped for more than three minutes.

“Time to go back.”

Colin looked at the benches.
