Surviving the Eternal Night: I'm a Monster Who Can Make Wishes

"There are only three terms, no special features."

"It's a bit worse than the monster's lair of the defeated, but that's probably because the master isn't a monster ruler, so it's understandable."

Li Wu Hui nodded.

I think the Phantom Garden, this golden monster's lair, is alright.

In theory, it is possible to produce gold-quality monsters quickly.

Moreover, it can charm all units.

Verna Eternal Night's divine magic can only charm monsters; it has no effect on survivors.

Even the highly persuasive Morning Dew Cult Leader had no effect on the survivors.

This shows that it is really difficult to persuade survivors to change their minds.

In many situations, it might be more effective to simply charm the survivors!

However, how can this Phantom Court follow the Shadow Palace?

Li Wu Hui pondered.

The all-seeing eye of the ruler saw that in the beautiful courtyard, each delicate flower was slowly digging into the soil with its roots, forming small, multi-branched flower burrows.

A notification popped up.

[The Phantom Court is autonomously excavating a shadowy cavern, capable of moving with the shadowy dungeon. It will take another 12 hours.]

"Not bad, it only took half a day."

Li Wu Hui nodded and patted the Radiant Winged Bird beneath him.

"Ah Kong!"

After a strange cry.

The Radiant Winged Bird flew down to the ground and landed in the Phantom Garden.

The succubi immediately swarmed around.

One by one, they respectfully greeted Li Wu Hui:

"Master, what are your orders?"

A group of alluring succubi called out to their master.

The sound was so powerful it could make your bones feel numb.

Li Wu Hui remained expressionless.

"From now on, call me Knight Commander. Come back with me later."

Many of the succubi were somewhat disappointed.

She called out in a sweet, delicate voice:

"Yes, Commander Knight!"

Li Wuhui continued forward.

Ten treasure chests were found half-hidden in the soil in a lush flowerbed.

Three golden treasure chests.

Seven purple-grade treasure chests.

You can get more than three pieces of equipment from them.

This is going to be a huge success!

There was also a strange metal key.

[The Key to the Garden's Secret Realm: A secret realm in the Dark Garden region whose opening time is unknown. It can be used to open the entrance to the secret realm and explore for precious treasures.]

Li Wu Hui summoned the succubi and had them carry the treasure chests.

Keep the key yourself.

Let's go back together.

All monsters, and indeed all other beings, are only fit to be dominated by you!

You are enjoying the feeling of being "controlled" by yourself!

I saw several notifications that suddenly appeared.

Li Wu Hui's lips curled into a smile:

"I didn't expect that the Blue Enchantress could also trigger the progress of the Secret Word's fulfillment."

"It's a pleasant surprise."

Afterwards, Li Wu Hui went to the nearest shadowy cave shelter and temporarily placed the treasure chest and the Netherworld Demon in the shadowy underground palace.

Only then did he ride Ah Kong back to the main force's camp.

Many survivors encountered Li Wuhui.

They all greeted each other very warmly.

"Commander, you're back!"

"Greetings, Commander Knight!"

"Commander, where have you been? Why are you in such a hurry!"

Li Wu Hui gave a polite and simple response.

"Hello, you've gone out to deal with some safety hazards."

"It's all resolved. I have something to discuss with Her Highness, so I'll take my leave now. Goodbye."

A short while later.

Li Wu Hui then met the Morning Dew Saintess.

And there were treasure chests piled up all over the ground, at a glance there were at least a thousand of them.

"Commander, you're back. Did things go well?"

The Morning Dew Saintess immediately stepped forward and asked.

"Not bad. This lady, who is said to be 'unlucky in both martial arts and fortune,' is here to unpack the box, right?"

There were no outsiders present at that moment.

Only Verna, Freya, and the two martial arts masters stood here.

Alessa was still out arranging various matters for the large group.

Although it wasn't intentional, Li Wu Hui didn't even glance at the Morning Dew Saintess.

He spoke directly and kindly to Mei Tingxue, who was standing to the side:

"Thank you for your hard work later. We will reward you with two pieces of purple equipment for all these treasure chests. Please do not reveal the quality of the equipment we opened to avoid jealousy and disputes among the survivors."

Indeed, I have no regrets.

It seems his relationship with the Morning Dew Saintess is a bit strained now.

Mei Tingxue nodded: "Okay, Commander Knight, I will keep my promise. To show my sincerity, I hope to open the box blindfolded later."

Coach Mei, you're still so good at it!

I mentally gave it a thumbs up.

Li Wu Hui pretended to hesitate for a moment.

He nodded and said:

"That's fine too, Ms. Wu Yun, I wish us a pleasant collaboration in the future!"

And then there's what happened next!

Mei Tingxue's eyes lit up: "Knight Commander, that would be my honor! However, I have a cooperation agreement with a survivor friend that allows him to open chests first, so there might be a time conflict."

Li Wu Hui laughed and said, "It's alright, we can manage the time reasonably."

It's confirmed, it's Li Wu Hui.

It's obvious that they're saying they won't conflict with their own schedule.

Otherwise, how could a large NPC faction possibly wait for a survivor like me?

Even if the Morning Dew Saintess were the most gentle and kind, it wouldn't be possible!

Mei Tingxue pondered in her heart.

As long as she doesn't interact with the character, the game character's expression won't change.

Therefore, Li Wuhui did not notice her abnormality.

Then, Li Wu Hui looked at Freya:

"Freya, help the lady with the best martial arts skills cover her eyes and guide her to open the box."

"Yes, Commander Knight."

Freya walked over with a smile.

He led the two martial arts prodigies to the front of the treasure chest, then covered her already closed eyes with his hands.

"You can open the chests now; people will keep bringing in more treasure chests."

The two martial arts masters nodded: "Okay."

Unboxing loot boxes can be exciting for players, but if you do a thousand of them, it can get boring.

Especially when most of them are not your own.

Li Wu Hui instructed the Morning Dew Saintess to arrange for people to open the ten top-grade treasure chests (three gold and seven purple) in the Shadow Palace as well.

It lasted for more than three hours.

The unpacking was finally completed.

Then the two martial arts masters left first.

Li Wu Hui and Saintess Chen Lu, among others, were responsible for handling the equipment that was obtained.

There are a total of 1245 blue treasure chests, 69 purple treasure chests, and 8 gold treasure chests.

3362 pieces of blue equipment and 187 pieces of purple equipment were obtained, including 37 pieces of top-tier purple equipment, which are more than three times more valuable than ordinary purple equipment.

They also got 22 pieces of gold equipment, including ten pieces of top-tier gold equipment!

Just then, Alessa, the leader of the wood elves, arrived.

She came to report the statistical data:

"Knight Commander, based on the data I've collected regarding the psychological expectations of the survivors, I think that if we provide them with 2758 blue equipment pieces, 165 purple equipment pieces (of which at least 20 are top-tier purple equipment pieces), and 9 gold equipment pieces (of which at least 2 are top-tier gold equipment pieces), they won't have any complaints."

"This data was obtained by asking many of my Wood Elf companions and various Survivor friends. It's absolutely accurate. Survivors are very worried that the Morning Dew Church might disband due to too many casualties!"

"So even with the top-tier gold equipment, they didn't ask for everything, even though we had promised them beforehand."

Li Wu Hui pondered for a moment upon hearing this.

Surprisingly, this year's survivor players are quite easy to carry.

However, the foundation was not yet laid.

This is no time for harvest!

A slight smile played on his lips as he made his decision:

"Since our survivor friends are willing to reciprocate our kindness, we naturally cannot fail to do so; we need not seek immediate personal gain."

"I've decided that the equipment requirements will first be based on the basic needs of the survivors. Then, I'll allocate an additional 300 blue pieces of equipment, 5 purple pieces of equipment, 5 purple top-tier pieces of equipment, 2 gold pieces of equipment, and 1 gold top-tier piece of equipment."

"Two-thirds of the extra equipment will be used for an awards ceremony to recognize survivors who sacrificed themselves in battle to save the Morning Dew Cult members. The remaining one-third will be used for a lottery, with everyone participating and lucky winners receiving random prizes!"

"Just to demonstrate a single idea."

"The Holy See of Morning Dew never mistreats its friends."

"Do you understand?"
