Chapter 437: Unsealing the Savage Wilderness Axe
September 25, 2017
With a wave of excitement, Lu Hai Kong eagerly rubbed his hands together and opened all five Golden Chests in one go.
His swift and efficient actions revealed his excitement, which was primarily fueled by the three Legendary Treasure Chests and the desire to test his recent luck. At this point, the Golden Chests no longer held the power to stir his emotions.
After all, Lu Hai Kong had become well-traveled and significantly wealthier.
Despite his graceful movements each time he opened a Golden Chest, there was always a crisp and pleasant sound that accompanied the opening. Lu Hai Kong quite enjoyed this sound.
As the five sounds echoed, the five Golden Chests vanished, revealing the five rewards that Lu Hai Kong had obtained.
It might be more accurate to say that the rewards 'poured out' or 'slammed' into the room, as some of the chests were quite large. After opening them, Lu Hai Kong's county government hall was nearly bursting at the seams. Fortunately, Lu Hai Kong's exceptional strength saved him from becoming the first unlucky victim of a treasure chest.
Two of the chests he opened poured out a massive amount of gold bars. If not for Lu Hai Kong's quick reflexes, he might have been buried under the pile of gold.
Although the start was not entirely smooth, it wasn't bad either, and it seemed to foreshadow Lu Hai Kong's luck for this round. Out of the five chests, two yielded one million gold each, one contained a bottle of Talent Elixir, and another held a meteorite.
Undoubtedly, these items were valuable, and anyone who obtained them, especially a solo player, would be overjoyed. However, Lu Hai Kong, after the initial awe of the gold bars, remained calm and composed.
After all, money was just a number to him now, and an extra two million was insignificant compared to his wealth. As for the Talent Elixir, he already had two or three bottles in storage, waiting for their owner. The meteorite, on the other hand, was even more absurd.
According to Gongsun, the old man, meteorites were used to forge divine weapons. With Lu Hai Kong's strength, he could indeed create such weapons, but he needed the blueprints and the necessary conditions for forging. In the end, it was yet another item that he couldn't put to use.
Fortunately, although the first three rewards were not what Lu Hai Kong desired, the last two were quite satisfactory.
Unit Rank Upgrade Token
Item Type: Mysterious/Military
Item Effect: Can upgrade the rank of 100 units of lower-tier troops.
Weapon Awakening Charm
Item Type: Mysterious/Consumable
Item Effect: Unseals a sealed weapon and enhances its quality to some extent.
Lu Hai Kong had never seen the first item before, but he had encountered the attributes of such an item once before, as part of the reward for the 'Suppress Wu Xian Rebellion' quest.
Regarding that quest's rewards, Lu Hai Kong felt that the Legendary Treasure Chest was merely an additional bonus, and the most crucial part was one of the quest rewards. Among them, the most precious was the one with an effect similar to the Unit Rank Upgrade Token.
When Lu Hai Kong saw this reward and compared it to the Unit Rank Upgrade Token, his heart raced with excitement. He knew that his first elite battalion was about to be formed.
However, Lu Hai Kong still hesitated about using the quest reward and this token. Should he use it directly on the Mountain Bandit Guards [Excellent]?
At the top, he directly exchanged a thousand-strong bandit guard legion, but should he wait for the Black Wind Legion's Swift Horse Raiders to reach a thousand and be promoted to the 'Excellent' rank before using it?
This hesitation didn't last long for Lu Hai Kong, and he soon made a decision.
"The cavalry is now sufficient, and the attributes of higher-level cavalry units are still unknown. Moreover, there is currently no commander with a talent that can better enhance cavalry. Compared to that, the Bandit Guard is a more cost-effective choice. I know the Bandit Guard's attributes are quite powerful, and Pan Feng's two commander traits can further strengthen their combat effectiveness."
Lu Hai Kong made this decision with ease, and although he hadn't taken action yet, it was already a done deal that his first higher-level unit would be the Bandit Guard.
One could imagine the terrifying power of a unit with an initial strength of 35, equipped with 'Elite' gear, that recovers its own health and increases its combat strength with each enemy defeated, potentially reaching a combat strength of 65. Undoubtedly, this would be a truly formidable force capable of taking on a hundred enemies alone.
After subjugating Gao Shun, Lu Hai Kong had thought that his strongest soldiers would be from the Immortal Camp. However, it seemed that Gao Shun's Immortal Camp still had a long way to go before reaching that level.
The 'Unit Rank Upgrade Token' enhanced the strength of Lu Hai Kong's units, and the last item, the 'Weapon Awakening Charm,' was closely related to Lu Hai Kong himself.
The Savage Axe in Lu Hai Kong's hand was given to him by Wu Yun Qi Qi Ge when he was in the Seven Tribes. It was a legendary-tier equipment, more precisely, a sealed legendary equipment.
Although Lu Hai Kong was quite adept at using the Savage Axe, if he could unseal it and further enhance his combat strength, it would be a welcome development.
So, when he saw the attributes of the 'Weapon Awakening Charm,' Lu Hai Kong's eyes lit up. He immediately picked up his Savage Axe and used the newly acquired, still warm 'Weapon Awakening Charm' on it.
After using the charm, Lu Hai Kong's Savage Axe floated in mid-air, trembling continuously. Faintly, he seemed to hear the low roar of the axe, but the sound was too illusory, disappearing in the blink of an eye, and the trembling of the axe stopped.
In the 16th year of the reign of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, the 'Records of the Three Kingdoms' by Chen Shou, in the biography of Lu Bu, it is recorded that Lu Bu's axe was named 'Feng Nu,' meaning 'Wind Axe.'
The trembling Savage Axe didn't appear different from before, but Lu Hai Kong could sense a significant change. It seemed that he had formed a vague connection with the axe.
Lu Hai Kong unconsciously took a big step forward and picked up the Savage Axe. As he touched it, he immediately felt a force flowing from the axe into his body.
This force wasn't powerful, but rather like water, nourishing Lu Hai Kong's body.
Lu Hai Kong instinctively checked the attributes of the Savage Axe.
