Chapter 369: Opening the Treasure Chest
Chapter 369: Opening the Treasure Chest
September 25, 2017
The Fu Clan Tribe was a force established by Lu HaiKong using the 'Affiliated Forces Formation Order'.
Over the past half a year, under Lu HaiKong's leadership, the tribe's population had grown significantly, and it had become the most prominent among the seven tribes, albeit discreetly.
What's more impressive was that this tribe had always been a hidden force under Lu HaiKong's command, and no one had ever known of its existence.
Initially, Lu HaiKong had thought that the Fu Clan Tribe could only be used as a deterrent against the seven tribes, serving as a thorn in their side. Later, it became a trading hub for Lu HaiKong on the grasslands, but unexpectedly, they could also serve as a powerful weapon in his hands.
Before leaving the mountain fort, Zhang Li had suggested providing Zhang Ran with an excuse to intervene in the Bingzhou affairs.
Any excuse would do, as long as it provided a reason.
Lu HaiKong had originally planned to use the skill 'Commanding the Eight Directions', which could only be used once by a major bandit leader, to directly mobilize the bandits within a ten-mile radius to cause trouble.
But upon further thought, if they were going to stir up trouble, why not go big?
Wasn't Ding Yuan coming to suppress him? Why couldn't he turn the tables and raid Ding Yuan's base? Therefore, Lu HaiKong made early preparations, asking Li Xiong, who was very familiar with the grasslands, to wait near Jiuyuan County, while the Fire Battalion directly led the Fu Clan Tribe to meet up with Li Xiong.
Lu HaiKong's move was somewhat risky, as he had already withdrawn his Black Wind Legion and the Third Battalion. At this time, he needed to leave the Fu Clan Tribe behind to guard the area. If he withdrew them as well, he might not be able to react in time if there was any unusual activity from the seven tribes.
However, after further consideration, Lu HaiKong realized that he had always been in control of the situation with the seven tribes, and there was also the task 'Outrage of the Bandits' to consider. More importantly, the surprises brought about by capturing Dingxiang City were numerous, and Lu HaiKong couldn't resist the temptation.
In the end, Lu HaiKong decided to act in this manner. Before making his move, he withdrew the forces from the ranch and deployed troops at the pass behind the mountain fort as a precaution.
Fortunately, nothing happened with the seven tribes, and Lu HaiKong successfully claimed the fruit of Jiuyuan County.
However, the handover of Jiuyuan County required some time, and before he could enjoy the spoils of plundering the county...
After sending off the Minor Eunuch, and before the war spoils of Jiuyuan County arrived, Lu HaiKong took the time to first enjoy the rewards for his battle with Ding Yuan and the task 'Outrage of the Bandits'.
He opened three golden treasure chests and one silver treasure chest, obtaining two Talent Pills, an elite-level spear, and a set of superior-grade armor.
The items seemed excellent, but at this moment, they couldn't easily tempt Lu HaiKong. He kept the Talent Pills, planning to bestow them upon outstanding talents in the future.
As for the elite-level spear, the mountain fort currently had no shortage of elite-level equipment, so Lu HaiKong had it thrown directly into the warehouse. Instead, the set of superior-grade armor caught his eye.
Although the old Gongsun could craft superior-grade equipment, Lu HaiKong had previously commissioned a set from him, which took only five days to complete, and there were no issues with its quality. However, that guy used up too many materials; a set of superior-grade armor required several hundred thousand gold worth of iron and coal mines, making the price a bit too high.
Currently, Lu Hai Kong's mountain fortress also hasn't dared to craft Superior-grade armor, and the set he crafted was directly given to Pan Feng.
During the battle with Ding Yuan, this kid contributed the most, so it's only right to give him this Superior-grade armor. Moreover, Dian Wei already has a set of Dragon Scale Armor.
However, after opening the Golden and Silver Treasure Chests, Lu Hai Kong hesitated, unsure whether to open the Legendary Chest.
"My luck hasn't been great lately. Even a nearly cooked duck could fly away. I've opened three Golden Treasure Chests, but nothing decent came out. Maybe I should keep these two Legendary Chests for now and open them when my luck changes?"
Lu Hai Kong said this, but after some hesitation, he eventually opened the remaining two Legendary Chests.
The two chests revealed two items, and upon seeing them, Lu Hai Kong's eyes narrowed in excitement.
From one Legendary Chest, Lu Hai Kong obtained a System Building Upgrade Token, and from the other, he acquired a piece of armor.
There's no need to explain the System Building Upgrade Token; Lu Hai Kong had already obtained one before, but it was from a Golden Treasure Chest. To get one from a Legendary Chest made him feel a bit cheated.
The armor, however, was quite impressive, with a dazzling golden appearance.
Dragon Soul Armor
Equipment Grade: Superior (Can be upgraded)
Equipment Requirement: 7 days of Inner Force Cultivation
In the 16191 version, this is a must-have!
Equipment Effect: Defends against attacks from Superior-grade weapons and below.
The ability to evolve this armor is indeed remarkable, but Lu Hai Kong couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed that a Legendary-grade chest only yielded a Superior-grade equipment. Despite liking the armor, he had no reason to laugh about it.
"It seems my luck hasn't been that great lately. When did my luck turn sour? Or is this item too powerful, consuming all my luck?"
Lu Hai Kong sighed, gently touching the necklace adorned with intricate talismans hanging on his chest.
This necklace was obtained from a previous Legendary Chest, and Lu Hai Kong had been wearing it ever since. Its effect was incredibly powerful, so even when his luck was down, and he didn't get anything too good from opening so many chests, he didn't feel too discouraged.
Of course, Lu Hai Kong's extensive experience with opening chests had undoubtedly refined his taste.
In the past, any random treasure would have made him happy for half a day, but after opening so many chests, especially the one that yielded the necklace he now wore, ordinary items no longer caught his eye.
This situation was a result of having too many treasures; he just needed to lose a few to feel better.
Gently caressing the necklace on his chest, Lu Hai Kong put on the Dragon Soul Armor and looked at the remaining random troop reward in his quest.
"Forget it, I'll just use the random troop reward and then go and comprehend the mysterious scroll. Thanks to Lu Bu's clothes, my might should be able to break through 80 this time."
