Chapter 962: Inventory Check
Chapter 962: Inventory Check
September 25, 2017
In the vast, white expanse of the empty space, Lu HaiKong examined the bottle in his hand, his face slightly contorted as he read the name of the elixir: "The Failed Elixir of Immortality." He couldn't believe that after all his efforts, the result was a failed elixir.
Lu HaiKong had never imagined that his painstakingly crafted elixir would turn out to be a failure. He felt a bit disheartened, but he didn't lose hope entirely, recalling that he had previously created a failed elixir that saved Ma Pin's life.
The elixir's name reminded Lu HaiKong of Yue Ying, causing him to grimace slightly. He wondered if Zhi Zhi Cai, too, would undergo a transformation. "What if Zhi Zhi Cai turns into a girl as well? That wouldn't be good."
The thought of Zhi Zhi Cai's potential transformation into a beautiful girl made Lu HaiKong lose focus for a moment. Zhi Zhi Cai was a handsome young man with delicate features, and if he were to transform into a girl, he might become an unparalleled beauty. Lu HaiKong shook his head, dismissing the thought. After all, Zhi Zhi Cai wasn't Yue Ying, and he had his own thoughts and preferences.
Zhi Zhi Cai was a native NPC with his own mind, unlike Yue Ying, who was a data-based NPC. Moreover, Zhi Zhi Cai had already found a girl, and Lu HaiKong knew that if he were to transform Zhi Zhi Cai, it would likely lead to a fierce battle.
Fortunately, the elixir's attributes were revealed, easing Lu HaiKong's worries.
The Failed Elixir of Immortality
Elixir Grade: ???
Elixir Description: According to legend, this elixir was created by the mysterious figure Xu Fu from the pre-Qin era. Xu Fu spent over a decade searching for the elixir of immortality on a mythical mountain, but his efforts were thwarted by heaven's jealousy. Unable to create the ultimate elixir, he settled for this failed version.
PS: Although this elixir is a failed version of the elixir of immortality, it still possesses incredible effects. Those who consume it can instantly heal from any injury or illness and extend their lifespan by ten to eighty years!
Upon reading the elixir's attributes, Lu HaiKong sighed in relief. He was grateful that it wasn't the unreliable elixir that Yue Ying had used, which could have transformed Zhi Zhi Cai into a girl, causing a significant problem.
"The system didn't betray me after all. With this elixir, Zhi Zhi Cai's issue should be completely resolved."
Lu HaiKong's face relaxed into a smile as he carefully placed the bottle of "The Failed Elixir of Immortality" into his spatial ring. With the issue of Zhi Zhi Cai resolved, Lu HaiKong finally had time to focus on the instance space.
He glanced at the pure white, infinite space, and opened the attribute panel to take a look. Unbeknownst to him, a system prompt appeared, which he hadn't noticed. Lu HaiKong casually clicked on the prompt.
【Your instance clearance reward calculation requires three hours. Please wait patiently!】
"Three hours? This system is really inconsistent. It just praised me, and now it's giving me this." Lu HaiKong smiled bitterly, shaking his head. He closed the system prompt and said, "Never mind, it's only three hours. I'll just wait it out and use this time to..."
"Let's appraise our loot."
Before Lu HaiKong could finish his sentence, San Gongzhu rushed over, excitedly holding a pile of loot.
San Gongzhu had been some time since she had cleared an instance of this level, and it was her first time obtaining so many rewards. Her excitement was evident on her flushed face.
Seeing San Gongzhu's enthusiastic expression, Lu HaiKong's face softened, and he couldn't help but smile warmly. Instinctively, he reached out and pinched her cheek playfully.
San Gongzhu was not pleased with Lu HaiKong's 'teasing', and she swatted his hand away. Her delicate nose wrinkled slightly, but then she smiled sweetly and placed the loot in front of Lu HaiKong.
"Quickly, quickly, quickly appraise them."
"Alright, alright!"
Lu HaiKong smiled indulgently and then took out the items he had obtained from Xu Fu and the other two palaces. He sorted them briefly and then proceeded to appraise the attributes of each item with San Gongzhu.
The battle at Shi Huang's Tomb had been extremely fruitful for Lu HaiKong.
Just from Zhang Han, Meng Tian, Meng Yi, and Xu Fu alone, he had acquired a substantial amount of high-quality loot. Additionally, Lu HaiKong had obtained three mythical treasure chests, or rather, four, as San Gongzhu added the one she had obtained.
This young lady was simply enjoying the thrill of opening treasure chests and appraising items. Unless she was particularly interested in an item, San Gongzhu would usually leave them untouched.
1. The Unveiling of Treasures:
Lu HaiKong and his companions carefully laid out the items they acquired, a collection of twenty-odd treasures, including the contents of the four Terracotta Warrior dummies and a few special items from the palace. Among these, a book and a crystal-clear gem caught their attention.
After a simple categorization, Lu HaiKong and his partner decided to appraise the items, starting with the ones from the Terracotta Warriors, leaving the palace items and the chest for last.
The four Terracotta Warriors yielded around twenty items, but not all of them piqued Lu HaiKong's interest. His excitement was akin to opening a treasure chest or scratching a lottery ticket, driven by a girl's natural curiosity. If the items were not appraised one by one, they might not hold much interest for him.
Among the twenty-odd items, only a few caught Lu HaiKong's attention. The first was a blueprint, a stone statue blueprint of Meng Yi, a Terracotta Warrior.
Meng Yi Terracotta Warrior Blueprint
Item Type: Stone Statue Blueprint
Research Requirement: Master-level Stone Carver
Description: A blueprint inspired by a Grand Master Stone Carver during the carving of Meng Yi's statue, allowing Master-level Stone Carvers to craft top-tier statues (Terracotta Warriors)...
The blueprint, while interesting, should be called a statue blueprint rather than a Terracotta Warrior blueprint. However, as they were found in the [Emperor's Tomb], the system insists on calling them Terracotta Warriors, and Lu HaiKong has no choice but to comply.
The system is the boss, and what it says goes.
Version 1.6.9.1.0 - No Errors!
2. The remaining items that caught Lu HaiKong's attention:
Terracotta Warrior Legion Summoning Order
Item Type: Consumable/Special Item
Item Effect: Randomly summons a legion of around a thousand top-tier Terracotta Warriors, along with a special Terracotta Warrior general.
Ps: Maximum duration of ten hours.
Remaining Uses: 1/1
Stone Statue Core (Meng Yi)
Item Type: Mysterious/Special Item
Item Description: Contains the core of Meng Yi's Terracotta Warrior, imbued with the general trait [Indomitable Bravery].
Ps: You can extract the general trait through special means or implant it into another statue to create a new Meng Yi Terracotta Warrior.
Stone Statue Core (Zhang Han)
Item Type: Mysterious/Special Item
Item Description: Contains the core of Zhang Han's Terracotta Warrior, imbued with the unique commander trait [Overwhelming Dominance].
Ps: You can extract the commander trait through special means or implant it into another statue to create a new Zhang Han Terracotta Warrior.
Among these three items, the first one is the most practical.
The Terracotta Warrior Legion Summoning Order allows Lu HaiKong to summon a powerful force of a thousand top-tier Terracotta Warriors and a special general. This combination is nearly as formidable as the Pan An army and the Wei Wei guards. Although the legion can only exist for ten hours, if used wisely, it can turn the tide of battle.
The remaining two items, the Stone Statue Cores, are even more impressive, especially the one belonging to Zhang Han.
Lu HaiKong had admired Zhang Han's Terracotta Warrior and its commander trait. He had always hoped to obtain it, but such a wish seemed impossible since Terracotta Warriors rarely had Soul Stones, making it nearly impossible to acquire their commander traits.
However, Lu HaiKong was pleasantly surprised to find the Stone Statue Core, an item that could grant his wish. He had witnessed the power of Zhang Han's commander trait, which was no less formidable than Zhang Mancheng's [War as Chess] trait. If Lu HaiKong could extract and master this trait, his military strength would rise to a whole new level.
"I wonder when Wang Ti will reach level 90. If he doesn't put in more effort, this item might not be his after all," Lu HaiKong said with a smile, holding the Stone Statue Core.
Of course, given his biased personality, this Stone Statue Core was likely destined for Wang Ti, leaving Lu HaiKong with no choice but to accept it.
