Chapter 763: Five Items
Chapter 763: Five Items
In the mysterious cabin, Lu Hai Kong stood in a daze after the old man's final words. He then took a deep look at the old man and eventually turned back to the shelves, retrieving three more items.
In reality, Lu Hai Kong had his eyes on many more items than just these three during his year of exploration, but he refrained from taking them all. If Lu Hai Kong had truly followed the old man's suggestion and taken whatever he wanted, he could have carried away dozens of items. However, Lu Hai Kong chose not to be that shameless and settled for just three items.
On one hand, Lu Hai Kong was uncertain if this was the system's final compensation or the old man's parting gift. Although he couldn't be sure, Lu Hai Kong leaned towards the latter, as he hadn't suffered any losses in the mysterious cabin. The system wouldn't provide him with any compensation, so it must be the old man's farewell gift.
Assuming it was the latter, Lu Hai Kong couldn't afford to make a spectacle of himself. Thus, he decided to choose only three items.
When the old man saw that Lu Hai Kong had only taken three items, an unreadable emotion flashed across his face, "It's a rare opportunity. Why not choose a few more? This might be your last chance to enter the mysterious cabin."
"No need, these five items are enough. It's better to be cautious than regretful later!" Lu Hai Kong replied with a smile, placing the wooden box containing the three items in front of him.
"Alright, you said it yourself. Don't regret it later!" It was evident that the old man was in a good mood, as he casually helped Lu Hai Kong appraise the three items.
After breaking the seals on the three wooden boxes, the old man pushed them towards Lu Hai Kong, a hint of curiosity in his eyes, "Let this old man have a look too. You've always had a keen eye for treasures, so let's see how lucky you are this time."
A year is a long time, long enough time to change a person. In the beginning, the old man would grit his teeth in anger whenever Lu Hai Kong took top-tier items from his presence. He would have loved to slap Lu Hai Kong senseless.
However, as time passed and the old man was gradually won over by Lu Hai Kong's fine wine and delicious food, he had an epiphany, 'Well, it's not like it's my stuff anyway. Why should I care?'
So, when Lu Hai Kong entered the mysterious dungeon for the fourth time, the old man developed a new interest—enjoying the thrill and excitement of opening treasure chests and discovering their attributes alongside Lu Hai Kong.
Lu Hai Kong, of course, was happy to indulge the old man's interest. They sat together and opened the five wooden boxes one by one.
Lu Hai Kong's luck didn't disappoint, as the first two boxes contained items he had obtained before, and they were quite valuable. The first was an [Enhanced System Building Upgrade Token], and the second was a [Substitute Doll].
These two items were highly valuable and had proven useful to Lu Hai Kong. The [Enhanced System Building Upgrade Token] could further enhance already upgraded buildings, and the [Substitute Doll] could help the owner withstand a fatal attack once.
The first item, the [Enhanced System Building Upgrade Token], was particularly intriguing. Lu Hai Kong had obtained two of these tokens before. He had used one to upgrade the Blaze Yellow Mountain Fort's barracks and kept the other as a trump card. Now, with a third token, Lu Hai Kong considered upgrading another building to legendary status to explore any unique attributes it might possess.
As Lu Hai Kong pondered where to use this new [Enhanced System Building Upgrade Token], the old man grew impatient and urged him to open the next wooden box. Lu Hai Kong had no choice but to put away the upgrade token and open the remaining three boxes.
The remaining three items were a bottle of emerald green potion, a plaque, and a stone the size of a fist.
Upon seeing these three items, Lu Hai Kong immediately checked their attributes.
Vivid Dream Death
Potion Rank: Legendary (Pseudo-Mythical)
Potion Effect: After consumption, even a hundred-point strength opponent will fall into a deep slumber.
Note: The duration of the slumber depends on the physical condition of the consumer.
"This is great!" Lu Hai Kong exclaimed, his eyes lighting up at the sight of the potion.
He didn't intend to use this super-powerful sleeping potion for any underhanded purposes, or so he thought. Having this potion would give Lu Hai Kong another advantage when dealing with the giant dragon boss. He wondered if it would even work on such a massive creature, which was said to be over twenty meters long. Despite his doubts, considering the potion's legendary rank, Lu Hai Kong felt he was worrying too much. A (Pseudo-Mythical) rank item should be more than enough to put the dragon to sleep.
"With this, and the original preparations, it seems we can consider slaying the dragon after Dian Wei and the others finish their labyrinth journey."
Lu Hai Kong held that bottle of 'Vivid Dream Death' in his hand, the light in his eyes flashed, and the dragon, a creature that was almost mythical, was something Lu Hai Kong had never encountered before. He wanted to see how powerful a boss of this level could be.
Lu Hai Kong was determined to take down that dragon, on the one hand, of course, for that huge vein of ore, and besides, Lu Hai Kong was also preparing for his future.
Even though Xi Zhi Cai had taken the 'Make-up for Deficiencies Pill' and his body had improved significantly, Lu Hai Kong could still sense the ebbing of the creature's life force. At this rate of depletion, it was estimated that in a few years, Xi Zhi Cai might need to use the 'Heaven-defying Life-changing Pill'. So, before dealing with the Divine Dragon, Lu Hai Kong wanted to practice on the dragon.
Through the strength of the dragon, Lu Hai Kong estimated the level of preparation needed to slay the dragon.
After Lu Hai Kong toyed with the 'Vivid Dream Death' and pondered the matter of slaying the dragon for a moment, he put away the potion and turned his attention to the last token and the stone.
Weapon Upgrade Token
Item Type: Consumable/Mysterious Item
Item Effect: Upgrade Weapon
Ps: Upgrading weapons requires certain materials. Although the materials are not specific, the quantity and quality of materials needed vary depending on the level of the weapon.
Black Gold Ore (Ore)
Ore Rank: Mythical
Description: Can be used to forge mythical-level divine weapons!
In the 6th book, the 9th chapter, the 1st part, it's definitely not wrong!
When Lu Hai Kong saw these two items, his eyes lit up.
Ever since his Savage Axe was destroyed, Lu Hai Kong had been thinking of getting a more powerful and sturdy weapon. After all, the bloody truth proved that legendary-level items were no match for mythical weapons!
However, Lu Hai Kong's luck wasn't great. Whether it was the mythical treasure chest or the mysterious cabin, Lu Hai Kong didn't obtain the equipment he desired. So, he could only have his destroyed Savage Axe repaired by Gongsun Chui.
As a master blacksmith, Gongsun Chui had no trouble repairing Lu Hai Kong's Savage Axe, and he might even be able to further enhance it, making it stronger than before. However, it would be a stretch to turn the Savage Axe into a mythical-level divine weapon.
Now, with this Weapon Upgrade Token, if Gongsun Chui couldn't upgrade the Savage Axe, Lu Hai Kong could still increase its level himself. As for the Black Gold Ore, it was a mythical-level material that Lu Hai Kong might need when upgrading the Savage Axe in the future.
After identifying all five items, the old man seemed to feel a bit deflated, thinking that these five items were not as good as the ones Lu Hai Kong had obtained before. Lu Hai Kong, on the other hand, was quite satisfied, as these items were still quite useful for him.
After identifying all the items, Lu Hai Kong didn't pat his butt and leave; instead, he stayed to drink a few cups with the old man.
Although Lu Hai Kong and the old man didn't have a pleasant first encounter, playing tricks on each other for a while, after more than a year, even though they had only truly interacted for about ten days, it didn't hinder the development of a bond between them.
Now, as this mysterious cabin was about to disappear, it was likely that the two would not meet again, so Lu Hai Kong took the rare opportunity to be sentimental and drink and chat with the old man.
However, even though Lu Hai Kong was being sentimental, when chatting, he subconsciously steered the conversation towards a topic he had always been sentimental about.
He knew that NPCs were usually divided into two categories: data NPCs and native NPCs. Data NPCs typically had weaker emotions compared to native NPCs, and their emotional range was not as rich. This was the most significant and obvious difference between the two.
But this distinction would gradually fade as data NPCs grew, so Lu Hai Kong was curious if there would be any difference between data NPCs at the level of Wang Jun or even the old man, and native NPCs.
Lu Hai Kong would occasionally think about this question, but rarely asked it. Today, as he and the old man had almost finished drinking, Lu Hai Kong casually brought it up.
However, Lu Hai Kong didn't expect that after he asked this question, the old man fell silent. During his silence, Lu Hai Kong noticed several times that the old man seemed to be about to speak, but in the end, he swallowed the words that had reached his lips.
Finally, after gulping down two mouthfuls of wine, the old man drove Lu Hai Kong out of the mysterious cabin. Before Lu Hai Kong left, he seemed to hear a faint voice say:
"Don't pay attention to things you can't afford to care about."
