Chapter 623: Opening the Treasure Chests
Chapter 623: Opening the Treasure Chests
September 25, 2017
Dong Zhuo had been closely monitoring the situation on Lu HaiKong's side.
So, as soon as Lu HaiKong captured Guangping, Dong Zhuo received the intelligence.
When Dong Zhuo's team first received this piece of intelligence, they were all stunned. Although they had a vague idea from the beginning that Lu HaiKong definitely had the strength to capture Guangping, no one expected Lu HaiKong to be so formidable. The vast Guangping City was taken just like that!
This situation made Dong Zhuo's side a bit flustered, worrying that after Lu HaiKong captured Guangping, he might conveniently come over and take Julu as well.
Unexpectedly, after Lu HaiKong captured Guangping, he didn't make any further moves. In this situation, Dong Zhuo and his team not only didn't feel relieved but also became somewhat concerned that Lu HaiKong might be up to something.
At this point, Dong Zhuo and his team dared not take Lu HaiKong lightly.
On one hand, they were concerned that if they made a move now and couldn't conquer Julu, it would play into Lu HaiKong's hands. But on the other hand, they worried that Lu HaiKong might be recovering from significant casualties suffered during the Guangping campaign, and by the time he was ready, the battle for Julu would be over.
Speaking of which, this state of mind shouldn't have appeared in the young and ambitious Dong Zhuo, but he had no choice. After all, he had been outmaneuvered by Lu HaiKong at every turn.
Amidst this dilemma, someone came knocking at the door.
The visitor wasn't anyone else but the Yellow Turban Mystic, or more precisely, the representative of the Yellow Turban Mystic with whom Dong Zhuo had done business.
This Yellow Turban Mystic indeed had some tricks up his sleeve. Even now, Dong Zhuo didn't know the true identity of the person he had been dealing with.
Although it sounded unbelievable, how could one cooperate with someone whose identity was unknown?
But this person had such a skill. As long as one pressed on their interests, it was possible to cooperate, even with someone whose identity was unknown, or even an enemy.
This time, Dong Zhuo's business partner once again stepped on Dong Zhuo's sore spot. He brought detailed information about Julu and also provided Dong Zhuo with reinforcements!
...
Lu HaiKong wasn't very clear about Dong Zhuo's situation, nor did he plan to find out.
After Lu HaiKong had Chen Ping inventory the items dropped by the historical generals Bo Cai and the others, as well as the items found on Zhang Daosheng and in the Guangping County Hall, he shifted his attention.
Although the previous treasure chest had already filled Lu HaiKong's mouth with oil, he still had to eat the remaining treasure chests and the rewards from Zhang Daosheng's quest.
In this battle, Lu HaiKong obtained one Mythical Chest, four Legendary Chests, and three Golden Chests, a total of eight treasure chests, a very rich harvest!
Following the usual routine, Lu HaiKong opened the three Golden Chests without hesitation.
Lu HaiKong had only casually opened the Golden Chests, not expecting much, but to his surprise, they gave him a pleasant shock.
The three Yellow Turban Chests yielded three items for Lu HaiKong: a scroll, a book, and a bottle of Talent Pills.
Without a word, Lu HaiKong immediately handed the Talent Pills to Chen Ping, asking him to record and keep them, and then had the scroll and the book appraised.
Artifact Fusion Scroll
Item Type: Consumable/Mysterious Item
Item Description: Can fuse two items into one, with a certain chance of failure.
Usage Condition: 20,000 gold.
Art of War (Volume 1)
Book Type: Military/Divine Scripture
Book Description: Legend has it that this book contains the essence of the Art of War. Those who comprehend it will gain special military skills.
Comprehension Conditions: Strength: 80, Command: 80
PS: There is a chance of failure in comprehension. If comprehension fails, the book will turn to ashes.
Lu HaiKong hit the jackpot with the first three Yellow Turban Chests. Aside from the Talent Pills, which were almost missed, the other two items were indeed quite good.
This situation once again demonstrated that opening treasure chests was indeed a matter of luck. With good fortune, even Golden Chests could yield items of Legendary and Mythical Chest levels.
Perhaps feeling that his luck was good today, Lu HaiKong didn't delay and opened the remaining four Legendary Chests one after another.
Well, it seemed that Lu HaiKong's luck had run out. When he opened all four Legendary Chests at once, his face changed slightly. He quickly gathered the items, then pulled Chen Ping back a few dozen meters.
Just as Lu HaiKong retreated a few dozen meters, a large number of gold blocks appeared out of thin air, forming two small mountains with at least several million gold pieces.
There were a total of six million gold pieces, and Lu HaiKong was well aware of their value. It wasn't that he quickly counted them, but the system had given him a prompt when he opened the chests.
To be precise, the system was quite considerate in this regard. After these several million gold pieces appeared, the system first gave Lu HaiKong a prompt and then allowed a few minutes before making the gold appear.
In this situation, it significantly reduced the chances of someone getting crushed by gold when opening the chest, and even without the system's prompt, Lu HaiKong wouldn't have been crushed. This wasn't the first time Lu HaiKong had experienced such a situation. Ever since he opened something large, he had been opening chests in the training ground, and this time was no exception. No matter what came out of the chest, Lu HaiKong wouldn't be caught off guard.
However, looking at the gold blocks, Lu HaiKong felt a slight headache coming over him. "Two legendary chests exchanged for six million gold. It seems like I didn't lose out and even made a profit. But what use do I have for six million gold at this time?"
"Forget it, I've already opened them. If I have to, I'll spend all this money and open the rest of the chests before deciding what to do next!"
After Lu HaiKong finished speaking, he lowered his head and looked at the two remaining items in his hand.
Four legendary chests, two of which yielded six million gold, and the remaining two produced a token and an egg. Yes, you heard right, an egg!
Great Teleportation Token
Item Type: Mysterious Item
Item Description: A high-level item imbued with mysterious power, capable of teleporting a person thousands of miles away.
Usage Requirement: 100,000 gold per use
Cooldown Time: 3 times per day
When Lu HaiKong saw the attributes of this item, he couldn't help but open his mouth wide in surprise and delight!
It was a 6191 book, and it was indeed the correct version!
Recently, most of the items Lu HaiKong had obtained from opening chests were consumables. Permanent items like this one had become rare.
Or perhaps they existed, but they didn't catch Lu HaiKong's eye. After all, consumables were undoubtedly more powerful than permanent items, and Lu HaiKong had plenty of consumables in his possession, so he didn't value the effects of ordinary permanent items much.
However, this Great Teleportation Token was different. It allowed instant teleportation over thousands of miles, and although it required 10 gold per use, its effect was worth the cost.
Lu HaiKong didn't hand this item over to Chen Ping to manage; instead, he kept it with him. After obtaining this item, he clearly understood that it might become his personal item for a long time.
While the Great Teleportation Token brought Lu HaiKong a pleasant surprise, the last item from the legendary chest made him frown.
When he saw the egg, he had an ominous premonition. Indeed, it was an unknown beast egg.
Unknown Beast Egg
Description: A randomly generated beast egg. It will recognize its master with a drop of blood and immediately start hatching.
PS: The type and talent of the beast are random.
To be honest, Lu HaiKong initially had some aspirations for pets. When he brought Yin Yue back, he hoped the creature would grow up quickly so he could ride it into battle while others rode horses, elevating his status far above the rest.
But Lu HaiKong's aspirations were soon shattered. The mount he had planned for ended up becoming a wolf-like fat pig under Xi ZhiCai's care.
For a long time, the creature's body was exceptionally plump, serving as Xi ZhiCai's blanket and soft bed during winter. Although it had gradually slimmed down recently, it unexpectedly developed a cute appearance, reminiscent of Ding Shun from Gintama, coupled with a personality similar to Er Ha. Lu HaiKong had long since designated the creature as Xi ZhiCai's pet dog, completely abandoning the idea of taking it into battle.
The failed experience with Yin Yue made Lu HaiKong somewhat indifferent to the unknown beast egg before him.
However, since the items were already opened, Lu HaiKong didn't want to waste them. He directly dripped a drop of blood onto the egg.
Instantly, countless cracks appeared on the beast egg, which shattered loudly, revealing a fluffy head.
When Lu HaiKong saw the fluffy little creature, he was slightly dazed. He had imagined various types of beasts that might emerge from the egg, but he never expected to see this.
The little creature was round and only the size of two fists. Its fur was black and white, resembling a giant panda, a national treasure!
"Well, I've opened another cute creature. At least it's a national treasure, much better than that idiot at home."
As Lu HaiKong spoke, he firmly examined the little creature's attributes, and his whole body went numb.
Type: Gold-Eating Beast
Nickname: ???
Master: Lu HaiKong
Growth Stage: Juvenile
Talent: ???
Ability: 30
Description: A small creature with limitless potential. It loves to eat gold and primarily feeds on gold, supplemented by meat.
PS: It doesn't eat bamboo, so please do not feed it bamboo!
A juvenile creature the size of two fists had an ability of 30. It fed on gold, and its round and fluffy appearance perfectly fit the template of a divine beast!
However, as Lu HaiKong looked at the adorably clueless creature that had emerged from the egg, he couldn't help but wonder if it had wandered onto the wrong set.
