Chapter 142: Open the ancient treasure chest and reap a huge reward!



"Huh? The captain's bag can contain silver coins? And intermediate magic crystals!"

Cao Xing was suddenly shocked.

He suppressed his excitement and continued to open the remaining three lieutenant bags.

【Open successfully】

【Obtained: Gold Coins*8】

[Obtained: Advanced Magic Crystal*11]

[Obtained: Blackened Objects*7]

[Obtained: Topaz Fragment (Blue)*3]

[Obtained: Sunstone Fragment (Blue) *1]

[Obtained: Carnelian Fragment (Blue) *3]

[Books Obtained: War History]

【Books Received: Discussions on Life】

After opening all the bags of burial objects, Cao Xing took a deep breath.

"That's too fierce!"

"This wave of harvest is really too much!"

There were so many things that it took him a long time to sort them all.

First, Cao Xing stuffed all the magic crystals and dozens of books into the storage box!

And he threw aside the rotten seeds and all the useless debris.

Then he put all the broken gold nuggets, gold, silver and bronze jewelry in a box.

After that, they put the green amber pebbles and blue stone fragments into their pockets.

After finishing all this, Cao Xing nodded, "Now, we can check the properties of these new items."

First of all, of course, are the newly acquired silver and gold coins.

Look at the attributes.

[Silver Ancient Coin: An extremely ancient and rare coin that is no longer in circulation on the mainland. It has a mark of space magic engraved on it.]

(After collecting 100 silver coins, you can exchange them for a mid-level ancient treasure chest, which can reveal mid-level ancient weapons, crafting blueprints, secret medicine formulas, or other extinct items.)

[Golden Ancient Coin: An extremely ancient and rare coin that is no longer in circulation on the mainland. It has a strong mark of space magic engraved on it.]

(After collecting 100 gold coins, you can exchange them for a high-level ancient treasure chest, from which you can open high-level ancient weapons, crafting drawings, secret medicine formulas, or other extinct items.)

"As expected, just as I guessed, silver coins and gold coins can be exchanged for higher-level treasure chests."

"And the exchange rate is the same, 100 ancient coins for one treasure chest."

Then, Cao Xing checked the dozens of newly acquired green-quality gems.

[Amber Pebble (Green): Can be inlaid into weapons to increase attack power by 5 points]

[Garnet Pebble (Green): Can be inlaid into weapons to increase spirit by 3 points]

[Malachite Pebble (Green): Can be inlaid into weapons to increase strength by 3 points.]

[Turquoise Pebble (Green): Can be inlaid into weapons to increase agility by 3 points.]

(Note: Due to system updates, green quality gemstones require elementary forging skills before they can be inlaid in the blacksmith shop.)

Four types of green pebbles can be inlaid on weapons to increase their attributes.

Although it doesn't seem like much, it's an additional attribute and it's still pretty good.

Cao Xing nodded secretly, "These pebbles are still quite expensive, each one costs several thousand kronor. If we sell them all, it will also be a huge sum of money."

Then he continued to examine the blue gem fragments.

[Topaz Fragment (Blue): Can be inlaid in weapons or equipment to increase spirit by 5 points and magic attack by 10 points.]

(Precious topaz fragments, containing clear magical fluctuations, require intermediate forging technology to inlay.)

[Sunstone Fragment (Blue): Can be inlaid into weapons or equipment to increase strength by 5 points and physical attack power by 10 points.]

(A gorgeous gem with a dazzling luster, containing clear fluctuations of power, requiring intermediate forging technology to be inlaid.)

[Carnelian Fragment (Blue): Can be inlaid in weapons or equipment to increase agility by 5 points and physical attack power by 10 points.]

(Stones as vivid as flesh and blood require intermediate forging skills to inlay.)

Cao Xing exclaimed: "Not bad, not bad. The blue gemstone has added a lot of properties."

"More importantly, in addition to weapons, you can also inlay equipment. If you inlay your entire body, the improvement will be incredible!"

He thought happily.

The only regret is that it requires intermediate forging skills to inlay it.

Thinking of this, Cao Xing thought to himself, "It seems that it is urgent to find a blacksmith."

"I don't know if tonight's recruitment was effective."

The other materials are not very good looking.

Most of the debris found here have lost their effectiveness due to the erosion of time.

For example, those magical plant seeds and various spools can only be disposed of as garbage now.

Then, Cao Xing looked at the number of ancient brass and silver coins in his backpack.

【Brass Ancient Coin*1226】

【Silver Ancient Coin*104】

【Golden Ancient Coins*8】

"Very good, with so many ancient coins, I can directly exchange them for 12 ancient bronze treasure chests and 1 ancient silver treasure chest!"

"This time, I want to open the box to my heart's content!"

Cao Xing was extremely excited, and then he directly clicked on redemption.

At the same time, the system prompt appears.

[Do you want to consume 1200 Ancient Brass Coins to exchange for 12 Ancient Brass Treasure Chests? ]

[Do you want to consume 100 silver coins and exchange them for 1 ancient silver treasure chest? ]

"yes!"

End with the prompt.

The next moment, more than a dozen space magic arrays appeared on the ground in front of Cao Xing.

Appearing continuously with energy fluctuations.

Cao Xing vaguely saw that there seemed to be the outlines of several treasure chests emerging.

“Ding! Ding!”

After a series of noises of boxes hitting the ground.

The treasure chest that had been sealed in an alien space for who knows how many years reappeared on this day.

Looking at the dozen or so treasure chests in front of him, Cao Xing's face was filled with joy.

[Found 12 ancient bronze treasure chests sealed in dust, do you want to open them? ]

"yes!"

As Cao Xing clicked OK, a pair of system prompts appeared instantly.

【Opened successfully. 】

[Obtained: Ancient Weapon Triple Sniper Rifle (Blue)]

[Obtain: Ancient Cane (Blue)]

[Obtained: Ancient Longbow (Green) *1]

[Obtained: Ancient Composite Battle Axe (Green) *1]

[Obtained: Ancient Weapon: Auxiliary Spear (Green)]

[Obtained: Ancient Weapon Hunting Compound Bow (Green)]

[Obtained: Small detection robot production drawings]

[Obtained: Small drone production drawings]

[Obtained: Light combat drone production drawings]

[Obtained: Arc Star Bomb Production Drawing]

[Obtained: Small resource pack * 15]

[Obtained: Spoiled Food*172]

[Obtained: spoiled drinking water*74]

A ton of tips!

Three ancient weapons and four technological drawings!

Cao Xing was immediately shocked and said, "Damn it, if I were in the novice protection period and had these hot weapons, wouldn't I be able to kill anyone I saw in seconds?"

He quickly checked the properties of the three newly acquired ancient weapons.

[Ancient Weapon Triple Sniper Rifle (Blue)]

【Quality: Excellent】

【Attack power: 219~231】

[Attack method: Aim at the enemy and fire three bullets at the same time, causing damage equal to attack power*3.]

[Attack interval: 2.5 seconds/time]

[Attached special effect: Energy penetration (when attacking an enemy, there is a 30% chance of penetrating 40% of the enemy's armor)]

[Charging method: 1 primary magic crystal can provide 300 shooting energy]

(A sniper rifle that uses energy ammunition and has good accuracy.)

[Ancient Weapons: Auxiliary Spear (Green)]

【Quality: Excellent】

[Attack power: 124~156]

[Attack interval: 1 second/time]

[Additional effect: Headshot (When attacking the head, an additional 30% damage is caused)]

[Ancient Weapons: Hunting Compound Bow]

【Quality: Excellent】

【Attack power: 157~174】

[Attack interval: 2 seconds/time]

[Attached special effect: Piercing (Strong explosive power and penetrating power, with a 20% chance of directly penetrating the enemy's body, causing 150% damage, and with 3 layers of bleeding effect)]

Cao Xing nodded. "Sure enough, what came out of the bronze treasure chest are just ordinary technological weapons, which are good enough to deal with monsters below level 2."

"The health of creatures above level 2 is too high. Before you can fire a few shots, the enemy is already near you."

"However, that triple sniper rifle is still good. It has a high damage. I happen to have a lot of magic crystals, so at least I don't have to worry about the ammunition problem."

Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction.

Then there were the three cold weapons. Cao Xing took a look and found that their attributes were similar to those of level 10 equipment of the same quality.

He put it directly into his backpack.

Next, there are the four drawings.

Looked at the properties of two of the drawings.

【Light Combat Drone Production Drawing】

[Drawing description: A combat drone with low-altitude flight capabilities can be manufactured in the machinery factory.]

[Armor value: 35]

Durability: 500

[Attack power: 75~81]

[Attack speed: 2~4 energy bullets can be fired per second]

[Maximum flight speed: 75 km/h]

[Maximum flight altitude: 4000 meters]

[Energy consumption: 2 hours in combat mode/1 primary magic crystal, 30 days in low energy mode/1 magic crystal]

[Production requirements: Intermediate Machinery Factory, Electronic Components*1, Iron*50, Copper*30, Magic Crystal*1]

[Arc Star Bomb Production Drawing]

[Drawing description: Creates an arc star bomb with explosive and paralysis effects, which causes heavy damage to the enemy after being thrown]

[Attack power: 785~812]

[Attached special effect: Paralysis (causes 1~3 seconds of paralysis effect on enemies within the range)]

[Required conditions for production: Intermediate Mechanical Factory, Mithril*5, Primary Element Crystal*3, Thunder Stone*1]

"Huh? These two drawings are pretty good, right?"

"If I had enough materials, I could even build them in bulk and start a modern war right away!"

Cao Xing was delighted.

Especially that arc star bomb!

It actually has an attack power of nearly 800, and also has an explosive paralysis effect!

If Cao Xing has enough [Arc Star Bombs] in his hands, when he encounters the enemy, he can just throw them all out and drown him!

Cao Xing thought happily.

However, both drawings require an [Intermediate Machinery Factory].

And Cao Xing hasn't even built the [Primary Machinery Factory].

As for the other drawings, detection robots and ordinary drones, Cao Xing took a look and found that they were just ordinary drawings and were of little use.

Just put it directly into the backpack.

At this point, Cao Xing had basically looked at all the things that came out of the 12 treasure chests.

Then, only the last [Ancient Silver Treasure Chest] was left to be opened.

Cao Xing thought expectantly: "The ancient weapons found in the bronze treasure chest are already very powerful."

"This silver treasure chest should be able to reveal a more powerful weapon, right?"

"I don't ask for too much, I'll be satisfied if I can get a weapon similar to Barrett!"

[Do you want to open the ancient silver treasure chest? ]

"yes."

【Open successfully】

[Obtained: Intermediate Ancient Weapon: Mastiff Shotgun (Purple)]

[Obtain: Shotgun Bullet*30]

[Obtained: Lost intermediate life secret formula (improved version)]

[Obtained: Medium Resource Pack*2]

[Obtained: Spoiled drinking water*7]

"What the hell! What the hell! A purple ancient weapon, and a mid-level life secret medicine formula!"

Cao Xing originally just wanted a weapon similar to Barrett.

Unexpectedly, there was a pleasant surprise!

You know, what he needs most right now is this secret formula of life medicine!

However, the words "extinct and improved version" were added before the name of this recipe.

With a nervous mood, Cao Xing checked the properties of these two things.

[Mid-level ancient weapon: Mastiff shotgun (purple)]

【Quality: Rare】

[Attack power: 145~176]

[Attack method: Instantly ejects 8 bullets]

[Attack interval: 1 second/time]

[Additional Effect 1: Impact (When attacking at close range, there is an 80% chance of directly knocking the enemy back 2~10 meters)]

[Attached special effect 2: Break the body (When attacking, there is a 30% chance of causing penetration, disability, etc. to the enemy)]

"What a powerful shotgun!"

Don't think that its attack power is much worse than Barrett.

But you have to know that a shotgun can fire 8 bullets instantly!

If all hit one target, the damage caused is much greater than Barrett.

Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction, "This thing is best for close combat."

"From now on, if there is another killer who sees me as a mage and wants to kill me at close range, I will just pull out my shotgun and shoot him full of bullets!"

"That scene must be very sad!"

Cao Xing burst into laughter.

Then, he checked the properties of the life secret recipe.

[The Lost Intermediate Life Secret Medicine Formula]

[Drawing introduction: This drawing can be used to create an improved version of the Secret of Life (Medium)]

[Effect: After taking it, it can restore 2000 health points, and the cooldown time is 30 seconds]

[Materials required for production: Intermediate Alchemy Workshop, Glass Bottle*1, Ice Phoenix Petal*1, Spirit Breath Grass*5, Cold Spirit Water*200ml. ]

(The recipe, which was refined by a master of secret medicine, is now extinct on this continent.)

When Cao Xing saw the effects of the medicine on the picture, his pupils suddenly shrank!

"Restore 2000 health points instantly, and only have a 30 second cooldown!"

"This is much better than the ordinary Life Elixir (small)!"

"As expected, this is a recipe improved by a master of secret medicine, hahaha!"

Cao Xing was very excited.

And the key point is that he has both the spiritual grass and the cold spiritual water.

All we need to do is find some ice phoenix petals and build an intermediate alchemy workshop.

Cao Xing can now mass-produce this secret medicine of life!

However, this potion is obviously a tool used by second-level creatures.

After all, the recovery data is too high, directly 2000 points, which can directly restore the health of the first-level survivors to full.

At this moment, he exhaled heavily.

"Finally, hundreds of relic bags and dozens of treasure chests have been opened!"

"Now, all we have to do is find the Ice Jacaranda Flower, and find a blueprint for a basic alchemy workshop, plus a blueprint for an intermediate alchemy workshop."

Although Cao Xing doesn't have these things.

But as a survivor of Blue Star, he has a unique advantage over these natives.

That is the market.

There are tens of thousands of people in District 174, so there will always be some survivors and some adventures.

Thinking of this, Cao Xingjing walked straight to the side of the market, opened the trading interface, and entered the keyword [alchemy].

After a bunch of screening.

Many tools related to alchemy appeared in front of Cao Xing.

For example: books, introduction to alchemy, gunpowder formula, alchemy manual, etc.

After searching for a while, he actually found a production drawing of [Basic Alchemy Workshop].

Cao Xing glanced at the consignor: Zou Qi

Hmm, I haven't heard of the name.

Took a look at what Zou Qi needed.

[Required items: A large amount of food, a large amount of warm clothes*10, hunter skill book, equipment of green quality or above. ]

"Hunter skill book?"

Cao Xing glanced at his backpack and found that there was indeed a book.

[Multi-shot Skill Book (Green): Continuously shoots 3 to 5 arrows, each arrow deals 80% damage to the enemy, cooldown time 120 seconds.]

This was what he found in the Ascalon Catacombs last time, and he happened to have no one around who could use it.

So, Cao Xing directly sent a private message.

"I'll give you the Multi-Shot skill book in exchange for the blueprint in your hand."

Not long after, Cao Xing received a reply from the other party.

Zou Qi: "Fuck! It's Boss Cao Xing!"

"I never thought such a legendary boss would actually want to trade with me!"

The other side seemed very excited.

A moment later, Zou Qi replied, "Sorry, Master Cao Xing, I'm too excited."

"By the way, you need the blueprints for the basic alchemy workshop, right?"

"Yes." Cao Xing replied directly.

Zou Qi continued, "I haven't learned the skill book of Multi-Shot yet, so I don't know what its properties are. Can you let me take a look at it first?"

"Can."

Cao Xing was still very direct, and then pasted the attributes of this skill book on it.

After reading it, Zou Qi was immediately amazed and said, "What a powerful skill! Boss Cao Xing, are you sure you want to use such a powerful skill book to exchange for my blueprints?"

He asked somewhat uncertainly.

Cao Xing nodded, "Yes, this skill book is of no use to me."

In comparison, as a green-quality skill book, Multi-Shot is very valuable to hunters.

But for Cao Xing, it has no effect.

This kind of transaction is a win-win situation for both parties.

After hearing this, Zou Qi replied, "Okay, then thank you, Master Cao Xing."

After that, the two sides conducted a transaction.

[Transaction successful: You obtained the [Basic Alchemy Workshop Construction Blueprint], and you lost the [Multiple Continuous Shot Skill Book (Green)].]

Looking at the drawings in the backpack, Cao Xing's face also showed joy.

Quickly check the properties of this drawing.

[Basic Alchemy Workshop Construction Blueprint: You can build a workshop in your territory to make various secret medicines.]

[Armor value: 20 points]

Durability: 1800/1800

【Area: 120 square meters】

[Materials required for construction: wood*80, stone*60, iron*30, copper*20, primary element crystal*10.]

【Construction time: 6 hours and 32 minutes】

[Required personnel: Alchemist 0/1]

(Note: People with advanced alchemy skills can greatly improve the efficiency and success rate of alchemy.)

Cao Xing nodded, then clapped his hands and clicked on the drawing to study.

At this time, the survivor named Zou Qi sent a message: "Boss Cao Xing, thank you for your skill book."

"But I would like to ask a question."
