Chapter 111 - 99: Rewards from Opening 2 Wooden Boxes

Chapter 111: Chapter 99: Rewards from Opening 2 Wooden Boxes

Inside Fang Xiu’s villa, within the Gate World.

At this moment, the seven materials, arranged in the formation of the Big Dipper, had converged into an array.

Its light enveloped Kajimi.

As long as the Energy within these seven materials was completely absorbed by Kajimi.

Then she would be able to Promote to Tier Two.

Fang Xiu saw that everything was fine with Kajimi.

He then turned his attention to the two wooden boxes before him.

’That old man said these wooden boxes are the same as the wooden chests, just a lower-level version. I should be able to get something good out of them, right?’

Fang Xiu looked at the two wooden boxes in his hands.

This was the first time he had ever gotten them.

’I’ll search online. That old man is so shady, he might have been lying to me!’

Fang Xiu thought for a moment.

He didn’t rush to open them.

Instead, he logged into the Awakener Website and searched for: "wooden box drop elite monster."

Keywords like that.

Soon, many posts appeared.

[Got Equipment from a wooden box, come take a look!]

[Can you believe this Rare Material came from a wooden box?]

[What can you really get from wooden boxes dropped by Elite Monsters?]

[If you get these three things from a wooden box, congratulations, you’ve hit the jackpot!]

[...]

There were a ton of post titles like this.

Fang Xiu wasn’t interested in reading them one by one.

After a quick browse, he closed the website.

The only reason he checked the website was because he was worried the old man had tricked him.

What if these wooden boxes couldn’t be opened?

Or what if opening them would Release poison gas or something?

Fang Xiu wouldn’t have dared to open them.

But now it seemed there was no problem with them at all. ℯℯ𝑙.

Some people had even gotten weapons from them.

’A box this small can give a weapon?’

Fang Xiu looked at the box in his hand, which was no more than twenty centimeters long.

To think someone could actually get weapons and Equipment out of one.

’Let’s see how my luck holds up!’

Without another thought, Fang Xiu directly opened the first wooden box.

As Fang Xiu opened it, a white light shone from within the wooden box.

Immediately after, the wooden box vanished, leaving a large, ore-like object in Fang Xiu’s hand.

’This thing...’

Fang Xiu couldn’t recognize what kind of ore it was.

He could only inspect it.

[Thoughtless Iron: When forging a Level 20 weapon, adding a piece of Thoughtless Iron will grant the weapon a random Attribute boost.]

’An Artifact Refining material, grants a random Attribute boost... seems decent enough!’

Although it didn’t say how big the boost would be.

But even if the Attack Power only increased by 1, or some other aspect was boosted, it would make the weapon unique.

That small increase would be enough to double the weapon’s value.

However...

’Too bad it can only be added when forging Level 20 weapons. It’s useless if added to anything over Level 20!’

Fang Xiu shook his head helplessly.

This thing was considered a Rare Material, but it wasn’t particularly rare.

Because it could only be used on Level 20 weapons, it was completely useless for Level 30 ones.

’There’s still one more. Hopefully, this one will give me something better!’

This second wooden box.

Fang Xiu had gotten it as a drop from the Level 30 Elite Monster, the Celestial Wolf.

Its Level was at least higher than the Quan Ni’s.

Even if it gave another Artifact Refining material, it would be better than the first one.

Of course, Fang Xiu was hoping not to get a Refining Material.

The Magic Staff he’d obtained from the first Sacrifice was more than enough for him for a long time.

He didn’t need to get a new weapon at all.

Not dwelling on it, Fang Xiu immediately opened the wooden box in his hand.

After a flash of light faded...

Fang Xiu saw that resting in his hand was a ring.

’Equipment? This thing can actually give out Equipment!’

Fang Xiu hadn’t expected to get a ring this time.

He then checked the ring’s Attributes.

When he saw the Attributes, Fang Xiu was slightly stunned. ’This ring... it’s something special!’

[Celestial Wolf Ring]

[Luck +10]

[Defense +2%]

The Attribute bonuses were very simple.

But Fang Xiu loved them.

’A Luck bonus... does this stuff... really exist?’

If it only had the second Attribute, just a two percent bonus to Defense, it would be take-it-or-leave-it for Fang Xiu.

But this was different. The ring in his hand could actually increase his Luck Value.

And it added a flat ten points, not a percentage.

After all, for someone with a Luck Value of 0, a one hundred percent increase is still 0.

But adding ten flat points was another matter entirely.

Even if you started with a Luck Value of 0, you would now have ten.

Obviously, Fang Xiu’s Luck Value couldn’t be 0.

After all, even as he was now, his luck was already very good.

’Let’s give it a try!’

Fang Xiu thought for a moment and put on the Celestial Wolf Ring.

Then... nothing changed.

The Luck Value was something that couldn’t be viewed.

Even the system couldn’t display the Luck Value.

This was proof enough of how ethereal and elusive Luck was.

But this ring claimed to add it, so it must have.

’Let’s test it and see what this Luck Value is like!’

After some thought, Fang Xiu opened the Awakener Website again.

If he remembered correctly, the site had an official feature designed to drain Awakened of their Points.

It was a mini-program that would randomly generate a number every hour.

The number was randomly chosen from 1 to 10,000.

Awakened could use their Points to buy numbers. Each number cost at least one hundred Points.

If they won, those one hundred Points would net them one hundred thousand Points.

Of course, it was obviously just a way to scam Awakened.

Aside from a few Awakened with more than enough Points to spare who might play it occasionally...

...not many Awakened were tempted by it anymore.

A random number between one and ten thousand.

Even if you bought a number, at one hundred Points each, buying all ten thousand numbers would cost a million Points.

And if you won, you’d only get one hundred thousand Points.

Awakened weren’t idiots.

But today, Fang Xiu planned to give it a try.

He opened his own profile.

[Name: Fang Xiu]

[Level: 15]

[Points: 10.93 million]

’Heh, I’ve earned another few million Points in just a few days. Not bad!’

Fang Xiu hadn’t expected that after selling so many copies of the Cultivation Technique last time...

...he would be able to sell so many more.

He had used up almost all of his Points last time.

This time, in just a few days, his Points had climbed back into the tens of millions.

Although the pace was much slower than before, it proved that people were still buying it.

Fang Xiu’s Points were now in the tens of millions.

If he had to rely solely on hunting Demon Beasts, who knows how long it would take to accumulate this many Points.

As expected, selling things was the only way to earn enough Points.

Fang Xiu was a bit thankful that he hadn’t immediately bought a Cultivation Technique back when he had only a few Points.

If he had, he would only have been able to learn it himself.

But now, Fang Xiu could use the Cultivation Technique to earn Points.

’This is the right way to use Points!’

As for other Awakened who hadn’t created their own Cultivation Techniques, they could also sell various materials, Equipment, and so on, in exchange for Points.

Otherwise, relying on the meager Points from hunting Demon Beasts wouldn’t be enough to buy Cultivation Techniques or Skills, let alone some common materials.

Of course, right now Fang Xiu wasn’t looking to buy anything.

He was just trying to test whether this Lucky Ring was useful.

’Let’s give it a shot!’

Fang Xiu looked at the mini-program and clicked it open.

He then entered a number: 2286.

It had no special meaning; he just entered it randomly.

If this number actually won, it would prove that these 10 points of Luck Value were truly significant.

If it didn’t win, Fang Xiu would just find another way to test it.

To determine just how much of a boost these ten points of Luck Value provided.

Fang Xiu didn’t bet too much, just ten thousand Points.

Before, ten thousand Points would have been an astronomical sum for Fang Xiu.

But things were different now. For the current Fang Xiu, ten thousand Points was an amount he could spend without batting an eye.

After betting the ten thousand Points, Fang Xiu closed the website.

Because he would have to wait until midnight for the result.

There was no need for him to keep staring at it.

At this moment, Fang Xiu once again looked over at Kajimi.

He could see that she had already absorbed about half of the array formed by the seven special materials above her head.

’The speed is decent.’

Fang Xiu nodded slightly.

At Kajimi’s current rate of absorption...

...it would probably only take another hour for her to completely absorb the seven special materials.

’I should do some Cultivation as well!’

Fang Xiu didn’t do anything else.

He simply began to do his Cultivation next to Kajimi.

His current Level was only fifteen. Although his Skills were powerful, he needed to become stronger himself to fully unleash their potential.

Time passed, minute by minute, second by second.

Fang Xiu was cultivating.

Kajimi was absorbing the Energy from the seven materials.

This was the key to her Promotion.

The current Kajimi was more than capable of dealing with a Level 30 Elite Monster.

This meant she could easily handle Level 40, or even Level 50, Demon Beasts.

Once she successfully Promoted, perhaps she could even kill Level 70 or Level 80 Demon Beasts and Elite Monsters without any trouble.

As Kajimi absorbed more than half of the Energy contained within the seven materials...

...waves of red light began to emanate from her body.

"Hm?"

Although Fang Xiu was in a state of Cultivation, he was also keeping an eye on Kajimi.

When Fang Xiu sensed the change in Kajimi...

...he quickly opened his eyes.

He saw that Kajimi’s wings were now spread open.

On each of her two wings, a red pattern began to spread.

Gradually, a Big Dipper Array formed on each of her wings.

One by one, the points were lit up.

The red color continued to spread. Fang Xiu saw that five of the stars in the Big Dipper pattern were now illuminated.

Once the final two stars were lit...

...that should be the moment Kajimi finished absorbing the Energy and completed her evolution!
