Chapter 644: Two Mythical Chests
Chapter 644: Two Mythical Chests
September 25, 2017
It had been several months since Lu HaiKong officially joined the Yellow Turbans' battle, and he hadn't returned for quite some time.
Now that he was back, he surprisingly showed no interest in observing the changes in the Northern Fortress City over the past few months. On one hand, Lu HaiKong had only returned to open treasure chests, and on the other hand, he didn't want to expose his ability to teleport over long distances.
After all, this was a tool that could instantly teleport thousands of miles, and it could be used as a trump card from any perspective. With such an item, Lu HaiKong naturally wanted to keep it hidden and wouldn't dare to flaunt it openly.
So, this time, he had only returned to open a chest, upgrade a few territory buildings, purchase a few dungeons, and then leave. Although the battle in Jiuzhou had already concluded, there was still a lot of cleanup work to be done, and he had to attend to it.
After leaving the Assembly Hall, Lu HaiKong immediately instructed the Wild Wolf Guards around the hall to fetch Wang Jun. Without any delay, he quickly prepared to open the treasure chests.
Fortunately, the Assembly Hall was guarded by the Wild Wolf Guards; otherwise, Lu HaiKong might have felt a bit awkward at this moment.
Not all of his subordinates recognized him, and his sudden appearance might have caused an awkward situation if he had encountered someone unfamiliar.
The Wild Wolf Guards were all selected from the Second Camp, and Lu HaiKong had witnessed each of their advancements. They were the most loyal to Lu HaiKong, so they were not strangers to him. Upon receiving his orders, they immediately sprang into action and spent nearly an hour finding Wang Jun, who was busy in the city.
Wang Jun had been by Lu HaiKong's side for a long time, so he was only slightly surprised to see Lu HaiKong, who should have been thousands of miles away, suddenly appear before him. It was a minor matter, and he quickly accepted it.
After finding Wang Jun, things became much easier for Lu HaiKong. He had Wang Jun clear a training ground in the Northern Fortress City, which took over an hour. Then, Lu HaiKong brought the treasure chests to the training ground and began the much-anticipated action of opening them.
Perhaps in response to Lu HaiKong's efforts to teleport over long distances, he opened three legendary-level chests in a row, each yielding three million gold, resulting in a direct deposit of nine million gold into his account.
Lu HaiKong had no particular thoughts about this, but Wang Jun, standing by his side, had a wide grin on his face as if he could see gold.
Ever since he started managing Lu HaiKong's finances, Wang Jun had gradually become a money-grubber. However, his obsession with money was different from others. While most money-grubbers would hoard all the gold and silver for themselves, Wang Jun wanted to bring it to Lu HaiKong's territory.
Moreover, this money-grubber was not stingy when it came to spending money on territorial development. If something cost one hundred gold, he would never settle for ninety-nine.
Recently, Wang Jun had been lacking funds for the development of the Northern Fortress City. Although Lu HaiKong's treasure-hunting team had secured a substantial amount of gold in Handan, the long distance meant that it hadn't been delivered yet. Wang Jun was anxiously waiting for it, and Lu HaiKong had conveniently brought the money to him, causing his grin to widen.
Lu HaiKong was well aware of Wang Jun's character, so he didn't pay much attention to Wang Jun's gold-filled gaze as he stared at the three piles of gold. Instead, he ignored him and opened the fourth legendary chest.
A familiar aura filled the air, and a blueprint appeared before Lu HaiKong's eyes.
Azure Steel Armor Blueprint (Exquisite)
Blueprint Type: Armor (Chest, Helmet, Leg Guards, Boots)
Understanding Requirement: Senior Blacksmith
Note: Senior Blacksmiths only meet the minimum requirement for understanding, and the success rate is extremely low.
The last legendary chest surprisingly contained an exquisite-level set of armor. Initially, Lu HaiKong was delighted, but after a moment's thought, he realized that producing exquisite-level equipment in large quantities was nearly impossible, considering both blacksmithing and financial constraints.
The market price for a set of exquisite-level armor ranged from several hundred thousand to over a million gold. Even the production cost might be several thousand or tens of thousands of gold, and a thousand sets would require at least several million or even billions of various resources. Lu HaiKong couldn't afford it for the time being.
Therefore, for now, Lu HaiKong could only lock it away or let the blacksmiths in the Blacksmith Camp practice with it. However, with a high success rate at several thousand gold per attempt, it was unlikely that many blacksmiths would dare to try. Those who did would have a guaranteed success rate and no need for practice.
Lu HaiKong hesitated for a moment before putting away the Green Pine Armor Blueprint in his hand. Then, he brought out two mythical-level chests.
At this point, Lu HaiKong also had no special expectations. After opening so many chests, he had given up on the idea of getting what he wished for. He was well aware that this was a completely random process, and having high expectations would only lead to disappointment. So, Lu HaiKong boldly opened both mythical-level chests.
Lu HaiKong swore that this was the most casual he had ever been when opening mythical-level chests. However, what he didn't expect was that sometimes surprises come unexpectedly. The less you expect it, the more likely it is to happen.
So when Lu HaiKong saw the items from these two mythical treasure chests, he was completely stunned. Such happiness came so suddenly!
Supplemental Restoration Pill
Pill Grade: Legendary (Semi-Mythical)
Pill Effect: This pill has a gentle nature and is specifically formulated for those with innate deficiencies. Taking this pill can gradually repair innate defects.
Just three simple lines, and Lu HaiKong was stunned for a full three minutes before snapping back to his senses. This item was obviously made for Xi ZhiCai!
"Great! I was originally worried about whether we could take down that dragon in Nie Long Valley. Now, with this pill, even if we can't completely cure that guy, at least it will buy us more time!"
Lu HaiKong carefully picked up the bottle of pills, his face filled with uncontainable joy.
He had hoped for such an item countless times while opening treasure chests, but all he ever got was disappointment. Just when he had given up, this item popped up, as if luck was teasing him.
However, he could still accept this kind of teasing.
When he obtained the bottle of pills, Lu HaiKong was so excited that he almost teleported to Handan right away, but the cooldown of the Great Teleportation Token was three days. Whether he was happy or not, he had to wait; there was no rushing it.
So Lu HaiKong calmed himself down, put away the bottle of pills, and focused his attention on the item from the other mythical-grade treasure chest.
"Wow, my luck today is really not bad!" Lu HaiKong smiled when he saw the attributes of the item.
Forbidden Stele (Legendary)
A 1699 version of the book!
Item Type: Mysterious Item
Item Effect: Upon activation, within a five-li radius, the characteristics of military generals, the attributes of military units, the talents of civil officials, and the effects of items are all invalidated, regardless of affiliation.
Duration: 2 hours
Cooldown: 5 days
Usage Requirement: 50,000 gold
Lu HaiKong had used a Forbidden Stele once before, during the Guangping Battle, but that one was a consumable item that could only be used twice. He used it all at once and felt a little regretful. This time, he directly obtained a permanent one.
Such an item was extremely valuable to Lu HaiKong, as demonstrated during the Guangping Battle.
Lu HaiKong was well aware that with the conclusion of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the next thing to come was undoubtedly the outbreak of Outsiders. More Outsiders would emerge, inevitably bringing more items and even professions. The future battlefield would be far more complex than the present.
Lu HaiKong understood the methods of the Outsiders well. If it weren't for the fact that during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Outsiders had been slacking off from the start and were later directly controlled by Zhang Jiao, and if they had been allowed to band together, the Yellow Turbans would have had countless unpredictable methods, making it much harder to suppress them.
In this regard, Lu HaiKong had gotten a great deal.
However, during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Lu HaiKong had luckily avoided fighting the Yellow Turban Outsiders. But in the future, during the outbreak of Outsiders, disputes between Lu HaiKong and the Outsiders would be almost inevitable. In such a situation, possessing this Forbidden Stele would give Lu HaiKong absolute control over the battlefield.
One could imagine a scenario where Lu HaiKong's forces directly used all their items, and after the effects wore off, they activated the Forbidden Stele before the enemy could counterattack, completely taking the situation into Lu HaiKong's hands.
"Not bad. I'm very satisfied with the items from both the legendary and mythical treasure chests this time," Lu HaiKong said with a smile as he put away the Forbidden Stele. Then, he began to ponder what to do next, perhaps enjoying the feeling of reaping the rewards.
Although he had opened all the treasure chests in one go, it didn't mean his gains from the Yellow Turban Rebellion were over. He still had Zhang Jiao's tasks to complete, with three task rewards and a random one-time divine weapon.
Apart from these, Lu HaiKong had another big reward—the redemption of Great Han Army merits.
During the Guangping Battle, Lu HaiKong had already accumulated 82.5 million Great Han Army merits. Adding the 50 million from Zhang Jiao's tasks, he now had 132.5 million, or over 100 million, in Great Han Army merits.
Under these circumstances, why did Lu HaiKong open the treasure chests first? According to his usual habit of saving the best for last, he should have kept the treasure chests for last. The fact that he opened them first clearly showed that he knew that among all his gains, the treasure chests were the least significant. The real feast was yet to come!
He was well aware that both the task rewards and the Great Han Army merits would bring him far more than the treasure chests!
