Chapter 269 Checking the Loot
After staying here for less than five minutes, Wei Huan and his companions began to rush in the direction they came from. It was not until they reached the outside of the mountain and found a flat place to rest that they could completely relax.
Wei Huan supported Diandama's consumption all the way, and only one third of his spiritual power was left, but no one knew about this except Mu Zhong.
Now he used the remaining dark power to command the deployment of the undead army. After he occupied the area within 30 kilometers, his dark power was exhausted, but he just did it normally before taking a final rest.
Mu Zhong asked quietly, "Are you okay?"
Wei Huan nodded: "It's okay, after all, the strength is a little low. It will be fine once the Sequence Six comes."
"There's still a chance."
At night, the three suns of the Dark Beast Realm set, and black fog spread from afar. Everyone ate Liu Chengzhi's barbecue and talked about various speculations about what to do after returning home.
In the darkness of the night, no one noticed that the black fog flowed past them and went into the mountains.
The shroud of wind that made it difficult for them to move did not blow away the black fog, because the wind direction had changed at some point, from blowing from inside to outside to blowing from outside to inside.
If Wei Huan was still at the farthest place he had reached today, he would find that the black fog was like clouds that would not disperse, and finally gathered in the towering mountain. Until dawn, the black fog would completely disappear.
The wind here is very weak, and everyone is used to the natural law of the wind blowing everywhere on the blue planet without any regularity, so even if someone notices that the wind direction has changed, they don't care.
In this way, early in the morning and late in the evening, the black fog came and went, and something seemed to appear in the black fog, looming. Only Moji got up in the middle of the night and pawed his hooves restlessly, not knowing what made him so irritable. He waited until dawn to calm down.
…
[Congratulations to the brave team for completing their adventure into the Dark Beast Plane and completing their adventure mission.]
[Reward team members with a "Brave Badge."]
[Reward team: 1 platinum treasure chest, 5 gold treasure chests, and 94 silver treasure chests.]
[The space-time channel has been closed, countdown 3...2...1! ]
As the last word sounded, Wei Huan glanced at Captain Fang, whom he was holding tightly, and the "time and space rope" wrapped around all of their members, waiting nervously.
"Space-time rope": an object that will not be destroyed when traveling through time and space. Each rope can only carry objects no more than 300 kilograms.
The "Space-Time Rope" was brought out by Iron Heart. In the main quest it released at the beginning, it mentioned the "Space Channel". At that time, it was already solving the problem of the return of Captain Fang and others.
After all, they did not come to the Dark Beast Plane through formal channels. If they want to return to Blue Star, they must either find a crack leading to Blue Star, or wait to see if there is a space channel in the next opening battle.
But the best way, of course, is to go with Wei Huan and the others.
Although the main mission is shown as "failed", it is because the people planned to be rescued have been sacrificed in the Dark Beast Plane, and the number of people will never be enough.
However, Iron Heart still used its own logic to determine that they could get rewards for completing the mission, and each rescued challenger could get a "space rope".
Everyone used the "space rope" to tightly wrap around Wei Huan and others, and were teleported away together at the last moment.
The "space rope" had indeed worked. When the teleportation to the challenge world arrived, Wei Huan immediately looked at the rope wrapped around his wrist. The rope emitted a faint blue light, the same as the "space force" that had descended on him, and it quickly spread to Captain Fang and the others.
"Let's go!"
He didn't feel much while traveling through time and space, except for the sudden tightening of his wrist, which he could feel. Afterward, Wei Huan felt his vision blur, and when he regained consciousness, he was back in his chariot.
Only Captain Fang and others followed them back to the chariot.
Back!
The chariots were still the same, level six chariots. The square was large and the buildings were tall, like a residential complex with a thousand people living in it. When they suddenly appeared, someone happened to be passing by.
The passersby were stunned for a moment, then shouted in surprise, "The boss is back! The boss and his friends are back! Everyone, come out! The boss and his friends are back from the Dark Beast Plane!!"
As the shouts grew louder and louder, heads began to pop out from the surrounding tall buildings one after another, and then some people jumped directly from the balcony, landing on the ground from a height of dozens of meters with ease.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
In a short time, many people gathered around.
Even the director took the elevator and hurried over.
When the crowd parted to both sides, making way for Wei Huan and the old man, Wei Huan looked at the old man in front of him, feeling a little uneasy as if he was still adventuring in the Dark Beast Plane.
The director walked up and looked at his proudest student. He saw the fatigue and confusion in his eyes. Finally, he patted Wei Huan's arm and said, "Okay, no more words. Go upstairs and have a good sleep. We can talk about it when you wake up."
Wei Huan shook his head and was about to speak when the old man smiled and said, "Humanity has won, and you have returned. There is nothing urgent to do next, only the joy of victory.
Don’t be arrogant when you win, and don’t be discouraged when you lose. Just be steady.”
Wei Huan was awakened by the old man and nodded: "Okay."
The director then looked at Mu Zhong and Captain Fang: "It's the same for you, for everyone."
The director is highly respected. Although he never gets involved in other matters, if he opens his mouth and thinks now is not the time to discuss things, it means that now is really not the right time.
So even though both sides had a lot to say, they went back to their rooms first.
There are many talented people on the bus. Even if they do nothing, there are people who can do the follow-up work well.
Wei Huan took a look and found that except for Xiong Yi and Wu Ning, who occupied the "Warriors" quota and followed them in and out normally and did not come back, everyone else was there.
Mu Zhong immediately contacted "Heart of Steel" for confirmation. After receiving an accurate reply, he nodded to Wei Huan.
Wei Huan's last worry faded away. Seeing that there was really nothing here that needed to be dealt with immediately, he really returned to the room.
His room was on the top floor of the tank. He occupied half of the area, and the remaining area was shared by two deputy tank commanders.
However, Mu Zhong lived with him. Although Jacques lived on the same floor, he usually did not hang out on the top floor. There was a special elevator in and out of the door, which took him directly to his workplace.
Wei Huan walked into the room and scanned the room. He saw many of his and Mu Zhong's personal belongings. Even the air was filled with their scent.
My wandering heart slowly settled down.
He took off his clothes as he walked and went into the bathroom.
The portable system was connected to the butler AI, and its IQ finally returned to normal. When Wei Huan walked into the bathroom, the bathtub was already full of water.
The bathroom is round, like a small swimming pool. The water at just the right temperature covers the body, washing away the fatigue bit by bit.
He sat with his back to the door, facing the window. The water in the pool reached his chest, his hair was wet, and his face was hideous and mutilated.
Thinking of something, he withdrew his gaze from the gray and chaotic window, and took out a small object from his portable storage.
This little thing is about the size of a badge, with a diameter of about two centimeters. The special material reflects a sharp and thick light under the light, and the white and black swimming fish pattern looks like a Tai Chi diagram.
If you pinch it between your fingers and look left and right, you can see a three-dimensional pattern floating on it. It is the collision and intersection of a knife and a sword, like the collision of two worlds. You can even see the sparks that keep appearing and disappearing.
When there was a movement behind him, the light on Wei Huan's face flickered, and the AI butler used light to transform his intact appearance. At the same time, the attributes of the badge also jumped out in front of Wei Huan.
[Brave Badge]
[Wear +10% all attributes]
[Blessings from the stars, praise for the brave]
Another 10% of all attributes.
Wei Huan thought silently in his heart, it’s certainly not that he dislikes it, but he found that the arrival of high-level items in the challenge world obviously did not have too many fancy features, no strength rewards here, a little agility rewards there, all directly gave percentage attributes, comprehensive improvement, very real.
"This badge has excellent attributes. It's a shame to give it to someone like me. I tried to give it to someone else, but it can't be transferred. Only one hundred of us have it."
Mu Zhong's voice came from behind. Wei Huan turned around and motioned him to get out of the water, but Mu Zhong didn't. Instead, he sat cross-legged in full gear, covered in dust, with a smile on his face.
"Have you forgotten something?" he said.
Wei Huan was puzzled.
He didn't know if it was because he suddenly relaxed that his brain slowed down, but in this kind of environment and atmosphere, he wanted Mu Zhong to go into the water, wash himself clean, and then hold him to sleep.
Mu Zhong smiled: "I knew it."
He raised his hand and a diamond treasure chest the size of a suitcase, shining brightly, appeared in front of the two of them.
The dazzling light reflected on the water, creating shimmering lights that kept dancing in the room.
Wei Huan was stunned for a moment, then he remembered.
In the opening battle of the sixth-level world, he led the human race to fight against the dark beast clan. Not only did he win, he even made a historic breakthrough in breaking through the base camp of the dark beast lord, opening up a passage between the battlefield and the dark beast plane. Only then did the "Brave Challenge" come into being.
But before that, as the victorious side, they not only received a large amount of material rewards from humans, but as warriors with outstanding achievements in that war, they also received "personal rewards" for challenging the world.
Mu Zhong was the second one to enter the "boundary gate" and got a diamond treasure chest.
He was the first one to enter the "gate" and what he got was a pseudo-god-level treasure chest.
So far, this is the highest level treasure chest that has never appeared.
"Pseudo-god level".
Almost at the same time as he thought of this, Wei Huan raised his hand and took out his reward item.
The treasure chest reward is in his private space, but the private space is actually bound to the chariot. If he cannot drive the chariot into the dark beast plane, he will not be able to have a private space.
This is why Mu Zhong's identity as a [Driver Sequence] plays a more important role in the Dark Beast Plane than most other professions.
They had nothing except the few things they had on them. If they didn't even have a driver, then these 24 days would have been truly "sleeping in the open air".
Now back in the chariot, with his private space reactivated, Wei Huan's mind was still on the secrets of the Dark Beast Plane that he had not had time to explore, and he had completely forgotten about the spoils.
Now that Wei Huan took out the treasure chest of the pseudo-god, to his surprise, the treasure chest in his hand was small and simple.
The box was only the size of two palms and seemed to be made of sheepskin. It had gone through a very long time, causing the white leather to have a faint yellow tint. However, when Wei Huan brushed his fingers over it, he felt an indescribable fear, as if he was facing an extremely terrifying giant beast. Even after many years of death, a trace of its pressure remained on it, which was still able to shock everyone.
It feels like being bitten!
Wei Huan withdrew his hand from stroking the sheepskin treasure chest, and just held it loosely. He turned his head to look at the diamond treasure chest in front of Mu Zhong, but found that no matter how dazzling that treasure chest was, it was not even one ten-thousandth as good as the small treasure chest in his hand.
Even Mu Zhong was stunned by the treasure chest.
After coming to his senses, Mu Zhong hurriedly said, "Don't open this treasure chest yet. I want to see if I can activate a professional training ground."
Wei Huan nodded, but also said: "It's unlikely."
"Yes, this is the spoils of the opening battle. In theory, every opening battle should have similar spoils, but we've never gotten them. It's just like the rewards at the carnival at the end of each year, after the rankings of various challenges are announced. As long as it's a treasure chest with such rewards, even if it's diamond level, there won't be a professional training ground." Mu Zhong said with a smile, "But you always have to give it a try before you give up. What professional training ground do you plan to open next?"
Wei Huan was thinking.
Now there are only three professions, "Dancer", "Gambler" and "Wise Man", whose training grounds have not appeared yet.
Dancers are very important to Wei Huan. If Mu Zhong gets the shaman's training ground again, whether it is to increase the effect of the blessing or reduce the weakness penalty of the blessing, it will be able to further increase his combat effectiveness.
However, gamblers and wise men are the main fighting force on the battlefield, and they are the most mainstream professions with a large number of people. However, there is no professional training ground until now, which is incredible to think about.
In fact, every profession given to humans by the challenging world is very important. The emergence of each professional training ground will greatly enhance the overall strength of mankind.
However, since Mu Zhong's box is right next to him, it's better to...
“Clatter—”
Just as he was thinking about it, the sound of water diverted Wei Huan's attention. He turned around and saw Mu Zhong going into the water.
The newly grown legs are in good shape, slender and straight, healthy and well-proportioned. The energy flowing in them is the same as that of the body. Although they are not as strong as mechanical prostheses, they make the whole person flawless.
Wei Huan looked at Mu Zhong, who was walking towards him with a smile on his face. His mind was a little fuzzy, as if he had drunk just the right amount of wine, just the right amount of tipsy. "By the way, you just came back now. Have you made all the arrangements?"
"Yeah." Mu Zhong smiled and his eyes fell on Wei Huan. He narrowed his eyes and walked over and said, "Guess why the director asked us to rest first."
"Why?"
"Let's leak it out first. Some crew members live together, so we can talk about what we've learned this time. Whether it's good or bad, we'll get the news out first to give everyone some time to adjust."
"The Bureau is always worried about us getting frustrated?"
"That's possible, isn't it? So, whether it's good or bad, it's always a good idea to let the bullets fly for a while. This kind of calm control is what I need to learn."
Wei Huan nodded and was about to say something when he saw Mu Zhong walking up to him. His eyes had become hazy in the mist and he looked at the face that was gradually approaching. Whatever Wei Huan wanted to say later was already forgotten...
…
"We got supplies that are a thousand times our total winning reward?"
The director listened to the news in the room and confirmed again in disbelief, "Does it include super rare materials?"
"That's hundreds and hundreds of times more than the super rare materials, and even more than the ordinary rare materials. There's no room to take back the ordinary special materials."
"Oh my goodness, if I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have let them rest."
The old man slapped his legs and shook his head in frustration. Then he thought of the harvest this time and laughed with his beard. "Hahaha, great! The human race will soon soar!"
This was such good news that the director couldn't sit still anymore and wanted to go upstairs and knock on Wei Huan's door.
Those supplies are now in Mu Zhong's hands, and he can't even see them with his own eyes.
After walking around the room, he finally sat back in his seat and poured himself a cup of tea.
He drank it sip by sip and smiled at the people running around and chatting downstairs.
As he laughed, he raised his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes, and then laughed even more happily.
…
Although Wei Huan was sent back to sleep, in fact he couldn't sleep at all.
They had rested for a day before coming back, and everyone was in high spirits. They just went back to their rooms out of respect for the director.
After two hours of being alone together, they still couldn't relax, so they simply got out of bed.
They took out the false god treasure chest and the diamond treasure chest again and placed them on the bed.
The two of them sat cross-legged on both sides of the treasure chest and had been observing the two treasure chests for a while.
Finally, Mu Zhong said, "Regardless of whether or not these treasure chests reveal professional training grounds, we must also consider whether these reward chests contain personal rewards. We don't know when we'll encounter the next special Pseudo-God-level reward, so this treasure chest must be opened by you. Even if there's only a chance, we shouldn't take any risks."
Then, Mu Zhong pointed at the diamond treasure chest and said, "I'll open this. This was originally my reward item. I also have a profession that hasn't started professional training yet. The dancer sequence is very useful for our tanks. There may be more people in other professions, but as the front-line pioneering team, it's understandable that we prioritize arming ourselves."
After saying this, Mu Zhong spread his hands and said, "Alright, it's easy to divide. God actually divided it very fairly from the beginning. We just thought too much."
Wei Huan couldn't suppress the smile in his eyes, and then nodded, his tone full of helplessness and indulgence: "Yours, you are right."
Mu Zhong raised his eyebrows, his eyes curved with a smile, and said, "Then I'll open it?"
"Um."
In anticipation, Mu Zhong touched the diamond treasure chest in front of him. In an instant, a brilliant light flashed, and the diamond treasure chest disappeared. Then, the virtual projection screen of the AI butler popped up in front of both of them.
[Obtain Diamond Level Spiritual Power Potion X1]
【Get Diamond-level Smart Helmet X1】
[Get Diamond-level Wisdom Cloak X1]
[Obtain vehicle engine enhancement blueprint (eight) x1]
[Obtain vehicle blueprint (eight) x1]
【get……】
Wei Huan and Mu Zhong glanced at each other, their expressions showing the same expected dissatisfaction.
As expected, he didn’t leave the professional training ground.
Just as they thought at the beginning, the spoils of this kind of regular battlefield could not be unique. In theory, every opening battle would have the same or similar rewards, but humans had never gotten them.
So it’s not surprising that Challenge World didn’t place a professional training ground in the diamond-level treasure chest.
It is this "no surprise" that makes people feel a little regretful.
Every time a diamond treasure chest is encountered, it is a huge improvement for humanity as a whole. In the past, in the fifth-level world, Wei Huan participated in the opening of diamond treasure chests twice, helping the criminal sequence solve the problem of out-of-control and also allowing the praying people to have a "heaven".
But precisely because this improvement is so huge, the challenge world will issue various conditions, and it is not so easy to obtain.
The two looked at each other, regained their composure, and turned their attention to other supplies.
Diamond-grade potions were dispensable, and Wei Huan also had a diamond spiritual helmet, but the diamond-grade spiritual cloak surprised the two of them.
"This is the first time a cloak has appeared."
"Yes, capes have never appeared before. I thought it was because capes were in the way and not practical in actual combat."
"Wearing a cloak is indeed cumbersome for melee combat, but it's also not a problem for ranged combat. I didn't understand it before. I guess it's because I'm not at the right level?"
"Then I'd like to see what this cloak is. It must be a diamond-level treasure chest to open it."
After saying the last sentence, Mu Zhong took out the diamond-grade cloak from the chariot's warehouse.
As soon as the cloak appeared, its difference was revealed. It was not like other equipment that appeared directly in the hand. Even if it was folded neatly, it was just a dead object.
After the cloak appeared, it actually floated in the air, reminding Wei Huan of a dead memory, a cloak in a certain film or TV series.
The cloak is dark blue in color and looks like a kind of satin, but the texture is thicker and it reflects a dark light when viewed from different angles.
It was suspended in mid-air, its cloak moving without wind, and there were four bright stars on one side of its collar, twinkling like the stars in the real night sky.
The way he faced Mu Zhong head-on was as if he was examining him.
Mu Zhong is actually dressed a bit simply now.
Or maybe it's a little too simple.
The two had just taken a shower and had a nap. Mu Zhong sat cross-legged on the bed with a corner of the quilt draped over his waist and abdomen, without actually wearing anything underneath.
The cloak looked somewhat anthropomorphic, which made Mu Zhong silently pull the quilt up a little bit, and then a little bit more.
But before he could make any more moves, a black iron rod passed over his head. When he came to his senses, his cloak was gone, and he was in front of Wei Huan.
Wei Huan has collected three pieces of Mofidi's Ring. Theoretically, he should be able to complete the entire pseudo-artifact by collecting one more.
Now the shape of the Ring of Mofidi is almost exactly the same as the "Scythe of Death" imagined by humans.
The black iron rod you get at the beginning is confusing, and then you get an iron chain. The chain is wrapped around the iron rod, and a small part of it hangs on the ground. You can use this weapon to fight directly. The iron rod is indestructible, and the chain has the ability to stretch and retract, so it can be used as a whip.
However, when the third fragment was obtained, it was discovered that it was actually a scythe of death.
A sickle appeared above the iron rod, with a blade that was one meter long, extremely sharp and curved, which made people feel cold just by looking at it.
Now it was this sickle that was hooked on the cloak, bringing it in front of Wei Huan.
