Chapter 927 - 287: Try Your Luck

Leaving the Wishing Tree.

Big Golden Fur curiously lifted his head, wanting to see what was written on the wooden plaque Han Zhan hung on the tree.

But Han Zhan forcefully pressed the dog’s head down, preventing him from succeeding.

"Let go, let me go!"

Big Golden Fur shook his head, using all his strength to escape from Han Zhan’s clutches.

"This is Pot World, it’s Dawn Headquarters, can you pay a little attention to your image!"

Upon hearing Big Golden Fur’s words, Han Zhan looked at him in surprise.

"You actually care about your image?"

"Of course, I’m..."

Big Golden Fur was about to say something when suddenly a voice interrupted.

"Hey? It’s Teacher Dog! Teacher Dog is back!"

"Teacher Dog!"

After one voice, there were more voices.

Han Zhan glanced curiously, and a group of children around eight or nine years old appeared before him.

They excitedly ran towards here.

And Big Golden Fur, somehow, was already wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses.

Han Zhan: "6"

Initially, when he heard this, he thought "Teacher Dog" was an insult, but it turned out to be literal.

Big Golden Fur is really a teacher?

"I’m responsible for teaching them how to acquire anchor points."

Big Golden Fur, oh no, Teacher Dog explained to Han Zhan.

If anyone in Pot World is most qualified to teach about anchor points, Dawn Number Two truly stands out.

No wonder he emphasized the importance of image just now... Han Zhan thought as he looked at Big Golden Fur surrounded by enthusiastic children.

His soft golden fur was being patted, they were stroking his doghead and neck, even his tail wasn’t spared.

It seems, it’s not much related to image.

Who would’ve thought Dawn Number Two had this side to him, if not for those incidents, he might be a beloved teacher among the children.

Just as Han Zhan thought this, he heard someone among the children asking:

"Teacher Dog, when will you continue teaching us?"

"Teacher Dog, I want to hear the story of the foolish man and the clever dog."

"Yes, yes, that man fooled by the clever dog, what happened after? Last time you said he went to Pure Beauty Star, thinking he escaped control, but eventually provided a major event anchor point, what next?"

Big Golden Fur’s dog face instantly showed a polite but embarrassed smile.

"Tell us, Teacher Dog."

"Teacher Dog..."

"What happened next..."

At this moment, a voice sounded from outside the crowd.

"Next, the foolish man followed the clever dog and returned to the clever dog’s hometown."

Han Zhan lightly stated.

"Hey, how did you know?"

"Who are you, a new face, never seen you before in Pot World."

"Are you an outsider?"

"What are you thinking, Pot World can’t have outsiders; it prevents anyone other than Old Era Remnants from entering!"

Speaking last was a little boy who looked very much like a top student.

Upon hearing Han Zhan speak, Big Golden Fur’s dog head suddenly shrank back, covering his nose and mouth with his paws, his eyes showing a guilty look.

"Because I’m the foolish man tricked and turned around by the clever dog."

Han Zhan continued calmly.

Only with the words "foolish man" did he intensify his tone.

He decided to retract his slightly improved view of Dawn Number Two.

As the children heard this, realizing the atmosphere was off, they scattered hastily, leaving Han Zhan and Big Golden Fur alone, staring at each other.

"Um... Han Zhan..."

"There’s actually... a misunderstanding..."

Han Zhan didn’t speak, he just looked at Big Golden Fur with a face saying "keep talking, I’m listening".

"Alright, alright, I admit, I deliberately concocted stories behind your back."

"But you must understand, when I teach them, I need real cases, otherwise the content would become dry and dull."

"And it’s for the children, so it needs some funny and amusing names, so..."

Big Golden Fur’s voice grew softer as he spoke.

"So I’m called Foolish Man, and you’re called Clever Dog," Han Zhan helped complete his sentence.

"Alright, alright, I’m willing to make up for it!"

Big Golden Fur resignedly said, "Since I’ve mentioned the River of Eternal Darkness before, and you’re also an Old Era Remnant, you must be interested in the things it swallowed."

"My treat, let’s go to the riverbank of the River of Eternal Darkness, try our luck and see if we can find some treasures."

"What do you think?"

Faced with Big Golden Fur’s invitation, Han Zhan pondered and ultimately didn’t refuse.

On one hand, he was genuinely curious about what treasures the River of Eternal Darkness would yield.

On the other hand, after being called "Foolish Man" behind his back for so long, it’s only fair that Clever Dog pays up.

The River of Eternal Darkness flows downward from Pot World, not every place along its path has shores.

The riverbank of the River of Eternal Darkness specifically refers to the location of the pot’s mouth.

There, Dawn has constructed a levee.

When Han Zhan followed Big Golden Fur there, what he saw was an endless, vast barrier.

It wasn’t clear what material it was made of, but it managed to withstand the pervasive mist from the River of Eternal Darkness and silently guarded here.

The riverbank was long, so scavengers were especially sparse.

Especially near the source at the pot’s mouth, there weren’t many scavengers like them.

"Scavengers are few at the source because the mist from the River of Eternal Darkness erodes more severely here."

"Sometimes, even a small event anchor point may not suffice to resist erosion, requiring a medium event anchor point."

For most scavengers, a medium event anchor point is quite an investment,

If they don’t gain anything considerable along the riverbank of the River of Eternal Darkness, the cost becomes hard to bear.

"However, the source is often the easiest place for unexpected finds, due to the intense currents of the River of Eternal Darkness sweeping through, it’s easier to find rare items."

"But of course, the premise for all this is luck."

To show sincerity, Big Golden Fur specifically brought Han Zhan to the source of the River of Eternal Darkness.

The wool comes from the sheep’s own back.

Han Zhan remained indifferent to Big Golden Fur’s action and words.

Accepting a medium event anchor point from Big Golden Fur’s paws, it was Han Zhan’s first time seeing what an anchor point looks like.

A palm-sized anchor point with a black iron texture, displayed in a silver anchor shape.

It sort of resembles the points from the historical bronze currency of the Warring States.

"Small event anchor points are gray, medium ones are silver, large ones are gold, and extra-large ones are multicolored."

Big Golden Fur succinctly explained.

"Let’s go, let’s take a look."

After finishing his words, Big Golden Fur leaped off the levee,

Skillfully making a quick run towards the riverbank closer to the River of Eternal Darkness.
