Chapter 345: Opening Treasure Chests
Chapter 345: Opening Treasure Chests
September 25, 2017
Lu Hai Kong's battle not only brought him victory but also three Golden Treasure Chests and one Legendary Treasure Chest as rewards.
Additionally, Lu Hai Kong obtained a confirmed system building upgrade slot and a random reward of one thousand soldiers, all of which were unclaimed bonuses.
Previously occupied with other matters, Lu Hai Kong now had some free time and decided to claim all these rewards in one go.
First, he opened the three Golden Treasure Chests, and although there was no incense involved, he felt it was best to take a shower before opening them.
Lu Hai Kong hadn't bathed since his last battle, and the lingering scent of blood was overwhelming. Although he wasn't particularly fastidious, as a modern man, he couldn't stand the stench on himself.
However, this shower seemed to bring him some good luck.
The items from the three Golden Treasure Chests were all valuable, especially for his current situation, and they were extremely useful.
The first Golden Treasure Chest didn't contain any tools or gold but rather military supplies—a type of war resource that Lu Hai Kong hadn't obtained before.
Refined Kerosene
An unexpected product of an alchemist's experiment with a flint, the formula is unknown, and it's nearly impossible to reproduce!
Item Rank: Excellent
Type: Military Supplies
Effect: Highly flammable and explosive. Store in a cool place.
Lu Hai Kong obtained ten barrels of this kerosene from a single treasure chest. Although he hadn't tested its power yet, judging by its Excellent Item Rank, it should be incredibly potent.
However, the kerosene filled up the Assembly Hall, so Lu Hai Kong had to carefully move it elsewhere.
Perhaps it was because Lu Hai Kong had just taken a shower, or perhaps it was due to his recent battle, but the next two treasure chests also contained military supplies to some extent.
The second treasure chest revealed five hundred sets of Elite-level equipment, including helmets, armor, battle boots, and shields, only lacking weapons.
Lu Hai Kong examined the set and found that the Elite-level equipment was both sturdy and lightweight, making it ideal for the Royal Guard Corps.
Currently, there were already nearly a thousand Excellent-level Mountain Bandit Elites in the Royal Guard Corps. Although these five hundred sets were insufficient to fully equip them, they could at least arm half of them, significantly enhancing their combat capabilities.
Lu Hai Kong immediately summoned Pan Feng and instructed him to take these five hundred sets of equipment. How he would distribute them among his troops was a matter for him to ponder.
Compared to the first two Golden Treasure Chests, which yielded immediately usable supplies and equipment, the third Golden Treasure Chest's contents, although not bad, couldn't be put to use as quickly.
The third Golden Treasure Chest contained a Talent Pill and a blueprint.
The Talent Pill was something Lu Hai Kong's empty-handed subordinates desperately needed. After obtaining it, he gave it directly to Wang Chao.
In fact, giving the Talent Pill to Wang Chao was a biased decision by Lu Hai Kong, as he followed his heart's first instinct and gave this pill to his very first subordinate.
If not for this, Wang Chao, with his average conditions, would never have obtained this Talent Pill.
Fortunately, the granting of the Talent Pill was done in private, allowing Dynasty to receive this favor.
Apart from the Talent Pill, this Gold Treasure Chest also yielded a blueprint, a rare one that Lu HaiKong had never seen before—a Mechanical Beast blueprint.
Before the emergence of the Mechanical Iron Tiger, Lu HaiKong was unaware of the existence of these Mechanical Beasts. But after the Iron Tiger, he understood its power.
These beasts are essentially war machines. Just one of the Mechanical Iron Tigers in Lu HaiKong's hands could potentially wipe out an entire army of ten thousand men, though the Tiger would likely be unusable after such a battle.
The Mechanical Beast that Lu HaiKong obtained this time wasn't as overpowered as the Iron Tiger, but it was still a formidable force.
Giga Iron Ox Mechanism Blueprint
Item Type: Mechanism Blueprint
Usage Requirements: Senior Mechanic
This thing is even more complex than a siege catapult, and Lu HaiKong couldn't even understand the catapult blueprints, let alone this one.
Fortunately, someone in Lu HaiKong's Fort could understand it. During the attack on the Giant Fort, Lu HaiKong had obtained a Recruitment Token from a Gold Treasure Chest, right?
A few days ago, the token brought a Senior Mechanic, and it was because of this person that Lu HaiKong's Fort was able to produce five siege catapults in just a few days.
This time, Lu HaiKong didn't need to hide the blueprint; he only needed to send it to the Carpenter Barracks, and production could begin immediately.
It was evident that with the emergence of Mechanical Beasts and siege catapults, large-scale war machines, and the arrival of the Senior Mechanic, the Carpenter Barracks, which was once far less prominent than the Blacksmith Barracks, began to rise. In the future, it could potentially develop into a military stronghold like the Blacksmith Barracks.
Lu HaiKong was pleased with this development.
However, regarding the Carpenter Barracks and the Iron Ox blueprint obtained today, Lu HaiKong couldn't help but feel a bit helpless. In truth, he didn't want to engage in battle at this time.
With the current strength of the Fort, if they quietly developed for one or two years, by the time the Yellow Turban Rebellion erupted, Lu HaiKong was confident in sweeping through the Dingxiang, Yanmen, and Yungong counties. With further development, they might even be able to take over Bingzhou directly.
Of course, these were just assumptions about their strength. If the Yellow Turban Rebellion truly broke out, Lu HaiKong wouldn't dare to intervene on such a large scale. If he were to swallow up the entire Bingzhou, the Imperial Court would no longer focus on suppressing the Yellow Turbans; they would also turn their attention to Lu HaiKong.
What Lu HaiKong regretted was the disruption of his peaceful development environment.
The current situation also gave Lu HaiKong a headache. Although he had boldly declared his intention to endure until the Yellow Turban Rebellion, it was just a bold statement.
If he were to engage in a war for one or two years, Lu HaiKong's foundation would be exhausted.
Currently, although Lu HaiKong has achieved a great victory, what he desires most is to halt the war. While they are reaping rewards now, continuing the war may not yield the same results.
However, since the war has already begun, stopping it won't be easy.
"Forget it, let's take it one step at a time. At least, with the Fort's current strength, it won't be easy for the Imperial Court to conquer it. I'll continue opening these treasure chests and claiming the rewards."
