Chapter 1281: The Contract Talisman
December 2, 2017
Lu Hai Kong confidently waved his hand in the training ground of Luoyang City, and with that gesture, he achieved his first-ever 'four consecutive failures' with the Mythic Treasure Chest, transforming from the luckiest to the unluckiest.
This was Lu Hai Kong's unprecedented failure with the treasure chest, a hard blow to someone so favored by the system. It took a tremendous effort for him to come to terms with this cruel reality.
At this moment, Lu Hai Kong wanted to say something like, 'It must be that my luck is being concentrated for my future gains.'
But as the words were about to leave his mouth, he managed to restrain himself, and a cold sweat broke out as he realized that if he had set such a flag, he might have doomed himself to perpetual bad luck.
After controlling the urge to set a flag and accepting his failure with the Mythic Treasure Chest, Lu Hai Kong's gaze fixed on the task reward, hoping to make a comeback.
"Do you choose to receive the reward for capturing the Three-Tailed Fox?"
"Yes!"
"You have successfully obtained the special item, the Contract Talisman!"
"Contract Talisman? That's a very Western name. What is it?" Lu Hai Kong was taken aback for a moment, then reached out to catch the golden talisman that appeared before him. As he did, a golden light flashed in his eyes, and the Heavenly Eye Technique activated, revealing the properties of the item.
Contract Talisman
Item Type: Mysterious / Consumable
Item Rank: Mythic
Item Description: A tool that concentrates the power of heaven and earth. By using this item, a contract can be established under the system's witness. Once the contract is formed, both parties must abide by it, or they will face system punishment.
Targeted Contract: Three-Tailed Fox
Perhaps it was because Lu Hai Kong managed to hold back from setting a flag, but his luck was indeed turning around.
Lu Hai Kong stared at the properties of the Contract Talisman in shock for a good while before realizing with a start, "So, this item was tailored for that Three-Tailed Fox!"
This was the first time Lu Hai Kong had obtained an item with a specific target. From a certain perspective, its value was no less than that of a million-strong army!
It was common knowledge that after the incident with the beast tide in Jizhou, when Lu Hai Kong brought back the Three-Tailed Fox, he had been trying to find a way to tame her. One could say that Lu Hai Kong had been coveting the Three-Tailed Fox.
In fact, if we were to talk about strength, the Three-Tailed Fox wasn't exceptionally powerful. At most, it was barely over a hundred, and this wasn't the reason Lu Hai Kong coveted her. What truly made him yearn for her was her talent.
Lu Hai Kong was well aware that the beast tide in Jizhou was caused by this very Three-Tailed Fox, meaning she had the ability to command beasts, and in astonishing numbers.
If Lu Hai Kong could successfully tame this Three-Tailed Fox and if she could recreate the beast tide, her value would be immeasurable.
However, the Three-Tailed Fox was cunning and detested Lu Hai Kong, a two-legged creature. Even after being captured and knowing Lu Hai Kong wouldn't kill her, she refused to communicate and ignored him completely, leaving Lu Hai Kong at a loss with the Three-Tailed Fox.
The process of taming the beast had not progressed as planned.
Lu Hai Kong was contemplating using some extraordinary measures when, before he could act, the system directly delivered the Contract Talisman to him.
"The system is essentially handing over the Three-Tailed Fox and the beast army to me!" In that instant, as he realized the value of this item, Lu Hai Kong's eyes narrowed to a slit.
Lu Hai Kong had begun to feel that the system was his personal tool, and if it continued to assist him in this manner, his strength would become heaven-defying within a few years. By then, it wouldn't just be a foreign invasion; Lu Hai Kong would be the one overpowering those from beyond.
Although he felt an urge to rush out with the Contract Talisman and contract the Three-Tailed Fox, Lu Hai Kong restrained himself. After all, this was just the beginning of his journey, and there were many more treasures to come. The Three-Tailed Fox wasn't going anywhere, so there was no need to rush.
After putting away the Contract Talisman, Lu Hai Kong turned his attention to another task reward.
Ding! Do you confirm the activation of the special reward for the Yu Emperor Cauldron?
"Yes!" Lu Hai Kong nodded eagerly.
You have successfully claimed the special reward. You have gained a Mythic Equipment enhancement opportunity!
"A Mythic Equipment enhancement chance? That's not bad!"
As expected, with the Jade Pearl of the Contract Talisman already in his possession, Lu Hai Kong wasn't as surprised by this reward. However, it was still a welcome bonus, a timely blessing.
As Lu Hai Kong's strength continued to grow, he gradually encountered a significant issue—his weapon was struggling to keep up with his power and status.
Although his current weapon, the Savage Axe, was of Mythic grade, its quality was relatively low compared to others.
Lu Hai Kong surveyed the world and noticed that Dong Zhuo possessed powerful Demon Weapons, while Cao Cao in Yanzhou, a warlord of lesser strength and influence, wielded the divine artifact, the Tai'e Sword. In contrast, Lu Hai Kong's weapon was only of Mythic grade, lacking the cool factor of the others.
Of course, the cool factor was a minor concern. With Lu Hai Kong's current status, even if he carried a piece of rotten wood, no one would dare ridicule him. The real issue was that the Savage Axe was becoming inadequate for his increasing strength.
After breaking through the 100-point strength threshold, Lu Hai Kong's power continued to surge, growing stronger each day like a rocket.
The Savage Axe was barely usable for now, but as Lu Hai Kong's strength skyrocketed, it would soon fail to enhance his combat capabilities. With the reward available, Lu Hai Kong didn't hesitate and immediately utilized it.
Do you confirm the use of the special reward to enhance the quality of the Savage Axe?
"Confirmed!"
Lu Hai Kong nodded, and the Savage Axe in his hand flew up, emitting a golden glow.
