Chapter 465: Opening the Treasure Chest
Chapter 465: Opening the Treasure Chest
September 25, 2017
Upon confirming that the young girl had successfully reincarnated, Lu HaiKong's mood instantly lifted.
There were some things he couldn't change, and in the end, he had no choice but to reluctantly accept this compromise.
He didn't plan to seek out Lu Bu, not because he was afraid that Dian Wei and Wen Ugly weren't by his side, but because he feared that he might lose control and kill Lu Bu.
That wasn't the kind of trouble Yue Er wanted, and Lu HaiKong didn't want to kill him just yet.
After examining the package left by Yue Er, Lu HaiKong also took out the treasure chests of Wen Ugly and Zhang Liao.
One of these chests was legendary, and the other was golden. Although Lu HaiKong had barely managed to open a Mythic-tier chest, he was still quite excited about these two.
Since these chests were obtained by recruiting generals, their significance was different, and their luck should be extraordinary.
Throughout the day, Lu HaiKong had experienced both pleasant and unpleasant events, but overall, his luck seemed to be quite good.
He had recruited two historical generals, Wen Ugly and Zhang Liao, and obtained an advanced talent. Although Gun God Tong and Zhao Yun had left, and Zhao Yue Er had reincarnated, overall, it seemed like a decent outcome. At this point, opening the treasure chests should yield some good results.
Of course, more importantly, he wanted to lift his spirits.
With this thought in mind, Lu HaiKong opened Zhang Liao's golden chest.
"Huh? Is this chest really for me? I feel like it belongs to Zhang Liao."
Before Lu HaiKong, a three-meter-long spear appeared, its entire body dark and mysterious, crafted from an unknown material. The spear shaft was engraved with intricate anti-slip runes, and the spearhead exuded a faint bloodthirsty aura, giving off a dangerous and brutal vibe.
As he spoke, an appraisal technique was applied to the spear.
Ironblood Spear
Equipment Quality: Legendary
Equipment Requirement: Inner Energy Harmonization and Mastery
Equipment Effect: Blood Boiling, ???
Blood Boiling: Passive Skill. When wielding this spear in battle, combat strength increases slightly.
Opening a legendary-tier weapon from a golden chest was indeed a stroke of good luck. However, it was evident that this spear was meant for Zhang Liao, as his name was inscribed on it.
Although it wasn't a conventional exclusive weapon, this spear's affinity with Zhang Liao was undeniable.
At this point, Zhang Liao might not be able to fully control this spear. After all, his combat strength was only at 70, and he lacked actual battlefield experience. Without any trace of ironblood aura, it would be challenging for him to wield such a weapon.
Therefore, for the time being, Lu HaiKong decided to keep the spear in his collection.
After opening Zhang Liao's chest, Lu HaiKong turned his attention to Wen Ugly's legendary chest.
"This chest won't also contain a weapon that suits Wen Ugly's affinity, will it?"
As Lu HaiKong spoke, he opened the legendary chest, and to his surprise, his intuition proved to be quite accurate.
Another three-meter-long spear appeared before Lu HaiKong. Unlike the previous Ironblood Spear, this one had a cyan body with intricate runes covering its handle, giving it an air of mystery.
Wind God Spear
Equipment Quality: Legendary
Equipment Requirement: Inner Energy Affinity and Mastery
Equipment Effect: Special Equipment. Its effects can only be seen after mastery.
It was clear that this spear belonged to Wen Ugly. Similar to the Ironblood Spear, Wen Ugly's current strength was more than sufficient to wield this weapon.
Lu HaiKong, guided by Xi Zhicai, understood the art of ruling subordinates. He knew that the best time to present this spear to Wen Ugly hadn't arrived yet, so for now, it would remain in his possession.
Put away these two legendary weapons, Lu HaiKong was about to wash up and go to sleep, but something felt amiss. It seemed that this legendary chest contained more than just the Wind God Spear.
Previously, Lu HaiKong's attention was entirely captivated by the Wind God Spear, causing him to overlook that the legendary chest produced another treasure in addition to the spear. It wasn't until Lu HaiKong had collected both legendary spears that he realized there was also a pill at the chest's original location.
Due to Xi Zhicai's relationship and Zhao YueEr's recent rebirth, Lu HaiKong was highly sensitive to pill-type treasures.
Upon seeing the pill, Lu HaiKong instinctively set down the two spears in his hands and picked up the pill, slightly excitedly appraising it.
Momentary Splendor Pill
Pill Quality: Legendary
The version is correct!
Pill Effect: Burns the remaining life force of the consumer, enhancing combat strength. At its peak, it can increase the user's combat strength by 15 points.
Pill Side Effect: After consuming the pill, the life force will irreversibly burn out, leading to the consumer's death once the life force is exhausted.
Upon seeing the attributes of this pill, Lu HaiKong's eyebrows furrowed.
Although the quality of this pill was not low, its effect was absolutely disappointing. In Lu HaiKong's opinion, it was even inferior to an excellent-grade Talent Pill.
This pill was clearly meant for suicide. Unless one was desperate, Lu HaiKong couldn't imagine anyone willingly consuming such a disappointing item.
Hmm, this fellow didn't know that just a while ago, a tiger lady happily swallowed such a pill and easily defeated Lu Bu before being reborn.
Lu HaiKong put away this 'Suicide Pill' and returned to his cultivation room, replacing sleep with cultivation.
The next day, Lu HaiKong woke up as usual, and his daily routine returned to its original track.
It seemed that Zhao YueEr's rebirth had no impact on him at all. Occasionally, he would be seen spacing out.
In the following days, the effect of the Talent Recruitment Board seemed to have run out. No outstanding talents appeared on the arena, let alone historical warriors.
Even worse than the arena was the Scholar's Gathering. Over ten days, Lu HaiKong struggled to recruit even a single historical scholar.
Many poor scholars were indifferent to Lu HaiKong, a bandit from the mountains who was categorized as an eunuch party governor. This situation made Lu HaiKong unhappy, but he had no solution.
In contrast, the most satisfying results came from the recruitment of technical talents.
In a few days, over a thousand were recruited, and in ten days, nearly seven thousand technical talents had joined Lu HaiKong's ranks.
Among these technical talents, a large portion were blacksmiths. With their addition, Lu HaiKong's blacksmith camp reached a scale of six to seven thousand.
This size of the blacksmith camp had already reached the maximum that Lu HaiKong could currently support and even exceeded it.
Unless Lu HaiKong intended to develop a weapons business, his blacksmith camp would not expand further in the near future.
In the blink of an eye, the Talent Recruitment Board's duration had reached its final day, and Lu HaiKong thought its effect would come to an end.
Unexpectedly, on the last day, the Talent Recruitment Board still managed to give Lu HaiKong a pleasant surprise...
