Global Awakening: Infinite Gift Pack System-Chapter 131: The MREs and New Rewards

Outside, Kai could hear the shelter erupting in laughter and chatter.

Some of the Foreign Survivors had even torn open their MRE boxes already. Curiosity definitely outweighs exhaustion.

They didn’t want to rest, they wanted to see the rewards given to them by the system!

"There’s Beef ravioli here! Not bad at all," someone exclaimed.

Another groaned. "Ugh, chili and macaroni? I hate this... Can someone do a trade for this MRE? This one isn’t that bad, but it’s not really my type of food."

"Hey, don’t complain. At least it’s warm food. Oh... I got Southwest beef and black beans... this one’s actually decent."

"Chicken chunks here. Dry as hell, but better than nothing."

The comments bounced around. There was a mix of complaints and genuine delight. For many, even the blandest menu felt like luxury compared to the scraps they’d been living on.

Kai smirked faintly as he listened.

’They’re celebrating like it’s a feast... and maybe it is, after ten days of hell.’

More voices came as they continued checking their rewards

"I got a 30% discount voucher for the Gene Trader!"

"Lucky! Mine’s only 20%... but I also got a Survival Gift Pack!"

"Ha! I got an Entertainment Gift Pack. There’s a deck of cards and even a music player inside! What the heck? Why not Weapon Gift Pack?"

The shelter was buzzing with excitement, and everyone was comparing their rewards like children opening presents.

Then Victor’s voice came, louder than the rest. The mechanic sounded almost like he was squealing.

"Yes! A Mechanic Treasure Chest! I knew it! I knew the system was tracking my work!"

Kai could practically picture him bouncing in his workshop, already imagining the tools and schematics inside.

The mood was infectious.

Even though the Global Event Cycle Update had warned them about the next event in twelve days, nobody seemed to care.

For now, they were happy, laughing, eating, and showing off their prizes.

Kai smirked, listening to the noise they’re making.

’Well... They deserve this moment. After everything that had happened, even a simple MRE feels like a true victory.’

In any case, Kai was already satisfied hearing their positive mood as he shut out the noise and turned his attention back to his own interface.

Soon, he retrieved a familiar Token in his inventory... It was the same item he got after reaching Level 20! Now, he has another one for completing the event!

Just like that, he tapped the Superior Gene Skill Awakening Token.

There was a confirmation to activate it, and Kai accepted.

[ Token activation initiated... ]

[ Processing... ]

Just like before, four options appeared before his eyes...

[ Active Gene Skill: Fast Appraisal ]

[ Description: Allows the user to analyze and identify the properties of items, equipment, and materials. Provides sufficient information on rarity, potential upgrades, and hidden functions. ]

[ Active Gene Skill: Phantom Dash ]

[ Description: A burst of speed that ignores terrain obstacles for a very short distance. ]

[ Passive Gene Skill: Hardened Body ]

[ Description: Increases skeletal and muscular resilience, reducing blunt damage taken. ]

[ Passive Gene Skill: Hard Focus ]

[ Description: Enhances concentration during combat, improving accuracy and critical strike chance. ]

To be honest, they were all good skills in Kai’s opinion.

However, one of them was just too good to be true. He could never pass this up since it may not appear again.

Without a doubt, Kai’s eyes lingered on the first skill.

’Fast Appraisal... this is exactly what I need. With all these new items, being able to understand their true value will give me an edge.’

He selected it without hesitation.

[ Gene Skill Acquired: Fast Appraisal ]

[ Token Activation Successful. ]

Kai exhaled, satisfied. ’Perfect. Now I won’t have to guess about the non-system items.’

He couldn’t help but feel excited about this. After all, only those recognized by the system could have an Item Description before.

This time, however, with the help of Appraisal, it wouldn’t matter if it was this world’s item or not! He will be able to recognize whatever it was...

[ Fast Appraisal Lv0: Allows the user to analyze and identify the properties of items, equipment, and materials. Provides sufficient information on rarity, potential upgrades, and functions.

Spirit Point Cost: 15

Cooldown: 30 seconds 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Range: Direct contact only ]

He frowned slightly.

’Direct contact only... no ranged appraisal? That’s disappointing. I was hoping I could scan items from a distance, or even check equipment without touching it.’

Still, he exhaled and nodded.

’It’s fine. Even with this limitation, it’s going to be useful in so many ways. At least now I won’t have to guess about items that don’t have system descriptions. This skill will save me from wasting resources or overlooking hidden functions.’

Satisfied, Kai turned his attention to the three Special Material Treasure Chests sitting in his inventory.

Their icons glowed faintly, more ornate than the Rare Material Chests he had opened before.

He hesitated for a moment, considering whether he should open this in his room...

After all, once opened, they could no longer be stored in this inventory unless he used his limited Inventory Slots.

’Special grade... higher than rare. These should contain advanced crafting resources. I’ll open one first and see what kind of materials the system provides.’

He then tapped the chest.

[ Do you want to open the Special Material Treasure Chest? ]

Kai confirmed.

[ Special Material Treasure Chest Opened ]

[ You have obtained the following materials:

Titanium Alloy Ingots ×5

Carbon Fiber Sheets ×10

Nano‑Circuit Boards ×10

Synthetic Leather Rolls ×10

Thermal‑Regulating Fabric ×10

Energy Cores (C-Grade) ×10 ]

Kai’s eyes widened slightly as he scrolled through the list.

’Titanium alloy... carbon fiber... nano‑circuits...’

These are far beyond the usual iron and copper ingots he got before... With these, Victor could probably build advanced traps or even upgrade their shelter defenses later on.

However, Kai only had a vague idea about the Nano-Circuit Board, so Kai decided to appraise it to make sure what it really was...

[ Fast Appraisal Activated ]

[ Spirit Point Cost: 15 ]

[ Cooldown: 30 seconds ]

[ You have discovered Nano Circuit Board! ]

[ Grade: Special Material ]

[ Description: A small circuit board used to control energy flow in machines. Needed for building advanced traps, weapons, or shelter devices...
