Chapter 439: Beast Heart
September 25, 2017
Initially, Lu Hai Kong thought that he could wait for the others to arrive without any issues, but it seems he rejoiced too soon. The next half a month will likely be a challenging period for him.
"Can this be considered a happy trouble? Wait, let me calculate... How many historical officials and commanders are there in the Three Provinces?"
Lu Hai Kong quickly counted with his fingers, immediately brushing off this minor trouble to the ends of the earth.
Joking, this minor trouble is nothing compared to the historical officials and commanders that might appear in the Three Provinces.
Thinking of the people who might appear, Lu Hai Kong felt a surge of energy.
"Good, let's open this last treasure chest and use everything we can. After all, the Recruitment Scroll was just activated, so there probably won't be anyone coming so soon."
Lu Hai Kong's gaze fell upon the last Legendary Treasure Chest, his eyes burning with anticipation. He could feel his luck returning, and perhaps this last chest could yield something comparable to the necklace around his neck.
In this mood, Lu Hai Kong reached for the treasure chest with a slight tremor in his hand, visibly more excited than before.
Amidst his excitement, the last Legendary Treasure Chest was opened.
"What is this?" Lu Hai Kong was slightly stunned and picked up the item that appeared.
Inside the Legendary Treasure Chest was an item the size of a fist, resembling a heart.
It was unclear what this item was made of, and it looked neither glamorous nor appealing, resembling a dried-up heart specimen, which was somewhat unsettling. If it were the Lu Hai Kong from before his rebirth, he might not even dare to touch this thing.
After briefly examining it in his hand, Lu Hai Kong casually tossed an Appraisal Technique at it.
Beast Heart
Item/Medicine
Item/Medicine Description: This is the heart of an ancient beast, specially treated by someone. Although it looks strange, it contains an astonishing amount of energy within.
Item/Medicine Effect: The Beast Heart contains an astonishing amount of mystical energy. When ground into powder and mixed with water, it can be consumed by any beast, with a certain chance of triggering a mutation in the beast.
Ps: It is recommended to let pregnant female beasts consume it, as this method can improve the offspring's talent and physique.
"This... seems quite interesting." Lu Hai Kong smiled after pondering for a while, holding the Beast Heart.
In that short moment, he had already thought of a use for this item. If his idea holds true, and the results are as he expects, the value of the Beast Heart might not be much less than the Recruitment Scroll."
Ever since the battle between Dian Wei and Lu Bu, Lu Hai Kong had been pondering how to find a mount for his commanders, similar to the one Qiqi Ge had.
After all, as the commanders' combat strength increased, ordinary mounts would not only fail to provide assistance in battle but might even become a burden or a weakness.
However, a mount like the Horse King was rare even in the grasslands, and even if Lu Hai Kong could spread his influence, it would be difficult to find many.
Initially, Lu Hai Kong had planned to raise the little wolf cub he brought back from the wilderness, which he named Silver Moon, as a mount. However, he didn't have much time to care for it, and since Ye Junru liked it, he gave it to her to raise.
Unexpectedly, Lu Hai Kong had not anticipated that Ye Junru was quite versatile in other aspects, but when it came to raising that little creature, she made Lu Hai Kong sweat.
A proud little wolf cub was turned into a wolf-pig by Ye Junru within half a year, and now it was about two meters long and one meter tall when standing, but it was as round as a pig. And to make matters worse, it still held itself with pride, raising its head whenever it saw Lu Hai Kong, as if it were extremely arrogant.
However, Lu Hai Kong was quite pleased with this, as that fellow had become the only person he could tease Zhi Cai. The only drawback was that Lu Hai Kong's plan for his new mount had failed.
"Send this to the ranch and have Wang Shou grind it into powder. Mix it into the water and divide it into a thousand portions to feed those sickly mares." Lu Hai Kong's thoughts returned from Zhi Cai and his fat pigs, and he handed the Beast Heart to Chen Ping.
Chen Ping was one of the two Advanced-level talents Lu Hai Kong had selected from thousands of mountain bandits the last time.
The other was Shi Yun, who had followed Lu Hai Kong for two to three months. After understanding his strengths, Lu Hai Kong helped him establish a foundation in martial arts and sent him to the Flame Battalion. Only Chen Ping remained by Lu Hai Kong's side.
Among Chen Ping's four attributes, only his Command growth was at 35; the rest were all above 80. Lu Hai Kong kept him by his side to cultivate his talent and for his own convenience. With this secretary-like fellow around, Lu Hai Kong's life became much easier. Many tasks only required a simple instruction, and Chen Ping would skillfully complete them.
As Lu Hai Kong used the last item from the Legendary Treasure Chest, his treasure-opening session came to an end.
Although the treasure-opening was over, Lu Hai Kong's gains were not yet fully realized.
In the 1619 book, there is no mistake!
Lu Hai Kong still had the rewards for the 'Suppress Wu Xian Rebellion' quest. It was the reward for two quests.
The reward for the 'Hunt Down Wu Xian Rebel Leaders' quest was acceptable, but it didn't require Lu Hai Kong's involvement. It was ready-made and could be stored and retrieved when needed. However, the reward for the 'Suppress Wu Xian Rebellion' quest was different.
The rewards for this quest were a Legendary Treasure Chest, which had already been opened, and ten million gold, which could also be stored and retrieved. The remaining two rewards were 'Upgrade Subordinate Talent' and 'Upgrade Troops' Unit Level Opportunity', both of which Lu Hai Kong had obtained before.
Lu Hai Kong had already decided on the 'Upgrade Troops' reward, but since Pan Feng and the others were at the mountain stronghold, it wasn't convenient for him to act immediately. So, he planned to use the 'Upgrade Subordinate Talent' reward.
The talent upgrade from the quest reward could be upgraded to the highest level, so Lu Hai Kong already had someone in mind.
There were many Advanced-level talents under Lu Hai Kong's command, such as Wang Ti, Zhao Gang, Wang Yi, Chen Ping, and Shi Yun. Roughly counting, there were at least ten of them.
However, this time, Lu Hai Kong was inclined to give the opportunity to Wang Ti.
"Confirm talent upgrade for Wang Ti?"
"Yes!" If Ma Pin's Combat Strength hadn't already broken through 80, he wouldn't have been so lucky. But there were no ifs, and this time, luck favored Wang Ti.
After Lu Hai Kong's firm confirmation, the system fell silent for a moment before speaking again.
"Wang Ti's talent has been upgraded. Current talent level: Advanced!"
Wang Ti: Talent Level - Top-tier (Combat Strength Cap: 91, Politics Cap: 65, Strategy Cap: 60, Command Cap: 80)
