Chapter 1139: The Mysterious Legion Recruitment Token
October 7th, 2017
The items left behind by the clones of Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were actually quite decent.
The Blood Veil Teleportation Token, which Du Ruhui had used several times to rescue people from Lu Haikong, was particularly impressive. Its effectiveness was evident as it consistently succeeded in rescuing people from Lu Haikong's grasp, even though a few tokens were left behind. Despite this minor flaw, the Blood Veil Teleportation Token remained a valuable asset.
As for the Tattered Ancient Tome, it caused Lu Haikong to furrow his brows slightly. It wasn't that he was dissatisfied with its effects, as skill books like this were incredibly rare. A single powerful skill could have unimaginable consequences, as demonstrated by Lu Haikong's own Heavenly Eye Technique. Therefore, he was quite interested in the Tattered Ancient Tome, but its usage requirements were somewhat disappointing.
The Tattered Ancient Tome required a political attribute of 80, which was already a high demand. However, the real kicker was that it could only be used by Outsiders, making it even more restrictive.
The fact that Lu Haikong felt let down by this requirement indicated that he considered the Tattered Ancient Tome to be of great importance. He didn't want to entrust it to anyone other than those he trusted implicitly, and among them, there were hardly any Outsiders with a political attribute of 80. This was why Lu Haikong felt disappointed.
After casually appraising the attributes of these items, Lu Haikong called Xu Shu over and asked him to record their attributes and distribute them accordingly. He handed over everything except for the Tattered Ancient Tome, leaving Xu Shu to handle the rest.
As Xu Shu dealt with these items, Lu Haikong took out four Mythical Treasure Chests.
"I've noticed a bad habit of mine," he said. "I tend to hoard treasure chests and open them all at once, enjoying the thrill of multiple draws. I wonder if this 'rich' playstyle brings any luck bonuses!"
Lu Haikong made this self-deprecating remark as he prepared to open the treasure chests before him.
This time, Lu Haikong intended to claim all the special task rewards he had accumulated, so he didn't waste time opening the chests one by one. Instead, he opened all four at once and appraised the contents within.

Mythical Machinery Core
Item/Material Type: Special/Mystical Artifact
Item/Material Description: Legend has it that this is one of a series of machinery cores crafted by a Grand Master Mechanic, who dedicated their entire life to its creation. It possesses unimaginable effects, capable of being installed in automatons to grant them life force, intelligence, and significantly increased durability recovery speed. It can even restore durability through carnage and gain new abilities by fusing with items like Soul Stones.

Mythical Armament Stone

Mysterious Legion Recruitment Token
Item Category: Consumable/Mystical Artifact
Item Effect: Recruits a mysterious legion of 10,000 soldiers with a base strength of 30, led by a Legion Commander!
These four items were the rewards Lu Haikong obtained from the Mythical Treasure Chests. After appraising their attributes, he ranked them in terms of value.
The Mythical Machinery Core was undoubtedly the most valuable, as Lu Haikong was well aware of the combat capabilities of automatons, especially the Ultimate Automatons. The Divine Phoenix Replica could breach city walls within ten minutes, and the Twelve Golden Men Automaton slaughtered thousands of foreign demons in just a few minutes. They were the epitome of killing machines.
Even without hot weapons in this world, their killing efficiency was unmatched. The only drawback was their terrifying energy consumption; while others could charge for five minutes and fight for two hours, these automatons required half a year of charging for five minutes of combat.
Lu Haikong had always wished for his Ultimate Automatons to fight without energy constraints, making future wars much easier. It had seemed like an unattainable dream, but with the Mythical Machinery Core, that dream might become a reality.
The Mythical Machinery Core could be integrated into automatons, significantly increasing their durability recovery speed and allowing them to restore durability through carnage. This alone was a pleasant surprise for Lu Haikong, but its effects didn't stop there. It could also enhance automatons' abilities by fusing with items like Soul Stones, making it an incredible artifact.
If successfully installed in an automaton, it would give Lu Haikong an additional ace up his sleeve, whether facing the various dukes of the Three Kingdoms or potential foreign demons. It was almost equivalent to having an army of a million soldiers, making it the most valuable item in Lu Haikong's eyes.
The next three items in terms of value were the Machinery Workshop Blueprint, the Mysterious Legion Recruitment Token, and finally, the Mythical Armament Stone.
The Machinery Workshop Blueprint needed no explanation, as it increased mechanics' work efficiency, which had far-reaching implications. Its value was arguably even higher than the Mythical Machinery Core. As for the remaining two items, the reason the Mysterious Legion Recruitment Token ranked higher than the Mythical Armament Stone was simple.
This item was a Recruitment Token, not a Summoning Token, meaning the legion recruited through it would serve Lu Haikong indefinitely.
A legion with a base strength of 30 and a Legion Commander was undoubtedly more valuable than the Mythical Armament Stone, which could create a mythical-level weapon. However, the Mythical Armament Stone was still an exceptional item, and Lu Haikong's ranking simply reflected the exceptional quality of his rewards.
After appraising the items, Lu Haikong didn't hesitate. He immediately took out and used the Mysterious Legion Recruitment Token.
