Chapter 344 Opening a Random Treasure Chest
"Not necessarily, maybe there are some above the god level."
Mu Zhong heard this and thought for a moment before saying, "What is it? A true weapon? In my opinion, a true weapon is not as good as a divine weapon. Especially after learning about the existence of the real world, its value is even lower than a pseudo-divine weapon. Even if the ancient divine weapons we forged ourselves are not as good as true weapons, they are not far behind."
"No, the true weapon that challenges the world is not just from the real world. More importantly, it involves the power of law. This kind of item that helps with cultivation is more valuable than anything else."
"So, you want the real thing?"
Wei Huan smiled: "Of course it's still a divine weapon."
Mu Zhong also laughed: "Why are you talking so much?"
Wei Huan smiled but said nothing, just looking at Mu Zhong. He didn't like small talk, as he was always too busy to finish it. Small talk was just a waste of time, but it was different when he was with Mu Zhong. He enjoyed the process of doing nothing but chatting, which made him relax and feel happy.
Mu Zhong was even more relaxed. Seeing the child eagerly urging Iron Heart to continue playing the game after the "judgment", he smiled and said, "The rewards we got from this road assessment are very good. It's worthy of being a treasure chest on a level 8 road. Not only did we get the blueprints for the full-level chariot turret parts, but we also got a lot of level 8 core materials and potions. It's also worth mentioning that the equipment dropped by the king-level monsters is gold-level, but its attributes have surpassed the platinum-level ones we found on level 3 and 4 roads. Even the main team is requesting exchanges, and I have agreed to replace them for free according to the total DKP amount, from highest to lowest."
"Total number?" Wei Huan asked.
"That's right. There are quite a few crew members from non-main teams who don't use their DKP, so they just save it. The DKPs at the top of the rankings right now are all from the logistics department, so it's better to look at the total number."
Wei Huan thought for a moment and said, "We need to make them spend their DKP."
"There's no need for equipment, and there's no entertainment in our car, so where are we going to spend the money?"
"If the DKP gap is too big, something bad will happen."
"That's true. I've already been considering the consumption issue. Aren't there a lot of people on the bus? Orange Juice can't afford to feed so many people, so I plan to let Orange Juice open a small cafeteria on his own. His meals need to be purchased with DKP. He can also get a DKP commission based on the sales, and he can also distribute it to people around him, such as Dou Lin."
Wei Huan and Mu Zhong went to see Dou Lin at the same time. The child was playing attentively and was not distracted even when they were mentioned.
This made the two of them think of something.
Dou Lin absorbed starlight in the real world and his strength grew rapidly. It probably wouldn't be long before he reached Sequence Seven. It was time for him to return to Blue Star. Staying in an environment with only adults until he grew up would not be conducive to his growth.
After the meal, the two chatted a lot, and finally talked about the equipment dropped by the BOSS at the end of the level.
After killing the vampire queen, a platinum-level treasure chest dropped. When it was opened, a helmet that increased spiritual power was revealed. Although it was only platinum-level, its attributes were comparable to those of a pseudo-god. Mu Zhong wanted Wei Huan to put it on.
However, Wei Huan is currently using a "WiFi helmet" that increases the speed of spiritual power recovery. Although its attributes are low, it is most suitable for him. Wei Huan does not want to change it, so he wants Mu to reuse it.
Mu Zhong didn't have to change, and after they chatted for a while, they heard Dou Lin's crisp shout: "Judgment... Jie!"
This time it's even lower, at only 0.6.
"Will it be a gold-level treasure chest if it is opened now? Can it be lower?" Mu Zhong was curious.
Wei Huan shook his head and laughed: "This random treasure chest is very watery."
"It would be better to just give a diamond, or even a platinum-level piece of equipment. It would be so infuriating if a gold-level one turned out."
"Challenge the world's evil ways."
After the two of them finished talking, they stood up. The celebration banquet was about to begin, and they had to go.
The purpose of eating in advance is to fill their stomachs, as there will probably be endless wine to drink when they get there. In today's situation, Wei Huan and Mu Zhong cannot refuse the wine that is offered to them. This kind of day should be celebrated properly.
Naturally, Dou Lin was called away from the computer reluctantly.
After arriving at the restaurant, exactly ten minutes later, Dou Lin divined again, and the attribute returned to 0.7.
This level is naturally not allowed.
Entering the banquet hall, the sound of music came from inside. The people in the entertainment department had arranged songs and dances, as well as skits and crosstalk. Wei Huan was not very clear about it, but he heard from some older drivers that many people in the entertainment department were national-level artists before the apocalypse, and some were still top stars in that era of entertainment explosion. Although Challenging the World has changed the fate of the human beings on Blue Star, most people will still work hard in the fields they are good at.
Although "entertainment" is a bit unconventional in this age of universal manpower, it still has its value. By chatting, laughing and drinking, Wei Huan's attributes will increase by 0.7, then 0.6, and the highest point will be 0.9. However, Wei Huan is a patient person, and he does not feel sorry to let this good opportunity slip away.
The banquet was halfway through when Wei Huan almost missed the familiar voice of a child. He was a little tipsy and subconsciously glanced at his attributes before suddenly sobering up.
It is a double attribute when the amount is full!
Wei Huan didn't care about what he was saying while he was talking to someone. He just spread out his hand and a treasure chest as big as a suitcase appeared in front of him.
This treasure chest is the simplest wooden treasure chest, with the edges protected by iron sheets and iron nails, and it looks quite quaint.
The higher the level of the treasure chest in the challenge world, the more gorgeous it is. When it reaches the diamond level, it is full of flowing light and sparkling stars, and it looks hazy and extraordinary.
However, a treasure chest like this has never appeared in the Challenge World. Even though it is extremely simple, it reveals its uniqueness.
When it appeared in Wei Huan's hand, the people around him looked over, their voices stopped, and they subconsciously held their breath and watched Wei Huan open the treasure chest.
Wei Huan's fingers touched the lid of the treasure chest, but the treasure chest did not open directly. Instead, Wei Huan needed to use his hands to open the lid.
He remembered the last time he'd encountered a treasure chest of this kind, it had yielded a "Book of Death." That book now offered little bonus to Wei Huan; it was a dispensable attribute, yet crucial to Wei Huan and to humanity. It was because from that book, humanity had learned of the existence of "real artifacts," understanding that they, trapped by the world of challenge, were trapped within its own rules, while "truth" was a different set of rules. Only by mastering both could they become stronger.
This time, the wooden box, which was completely different from the fake and exaggerated treasure chest in Challenge the World, was opened lightly by Wei Huan with one hand in full view of everyone.
With a "click" sound, the treasure chest opened and a cold air rushed in fiercely.
At the same time, "Woo woo woo--" ghostly howls rang out in the hall, twisted white shadows danced in the banquet hall, and the eerie and strange aura dyed the lights green.
However, facing this extremely terrifying scene, almost everyone in the banquet hall appeared to be calm enough. Some calmly avoided the oncoming ghost, and some even touched the ghost to confirm the feel when it flew towards them.
The very few people who were panicking also calmed down inexplicably after seeing the calmness of the people around them. Even though the ghost was baring its fangs and claws in front of them and looked extremely terrifying and ferocious, they just took a step back and turned their heads away.
There's no way around it. It's their boss's fault for taking this path. Countless people here were thrown into the cemetery during training. Not only do they have to adapt to the existence of those zombies, but they also have to fight alongside them.
The undead army that the boss has upgraded to level six or seven is fine, as it is not so hideous in appearance and does not have much odor. However, some low-level undead armies standing nearby are stinking and might crush someone's eyeballs by accident.
In short, the people in this car are afraid of monsters falling from the sky, but they are not afraid of these undead ghosts.
However, the boss can control the power of the underworld freely and has never felt out of control in such a situation. What happened?
Several core members, including Mu Zhong, immediately put down what they were doing and came to Wei Huan, and saw the box in his hand.
There was also a gray, irregular stone floating in the box.
These undead spirits flew out from that stone.
Seeing them coming, Wei Huan had no choice but to stop observing the ghosts. He closed the wooden box, and the wailing sounds disappeared in the banquet hall along with the ghosts.
Mu Zhonglai arrived first and had already seen what the fragment was. Iron Heart had even explained it to him.
He came to Wei Huan and whispered, "The fragment of the Underworld Lord's godhood, I got something good."
Wei Huan nodded. The moment he saw this thing, he knew what it was.
As a fellow practitioner of the Netherworld Dao, he could sense that this was a fragment of the divine nature.
"And it's a fragment of a mid-level godhead." Mu Zhong quickly got the answer. "Once you control it, you can embark on this path more easily and stand on the shoulders of giants."
"Indeed, I can sense that this fragment of the divine nature is very compatible with me. I'm afraid it is related to the Impure Land."
"Filthy Land, Dead Souls, Resurrection, Domination, Distortion, Corruption." Mu Zhong said, "The Netherworld has many sub-branches. Completely mastering one law can lead to a lower-level godhood.
The Lord of the "Filthy Land" controls ghosts, reincarnation, and immortality, and is a medium-level god.
The status of a higher god is unknown at this point, so it's already good that you've started with a mid-level godhood."
Mu Zhong practically repeated Iron Heart's words, adding his own summary at the end. He looked deeply at Wei Huan and said, "As we move forward, the mystery of the God's Residence is gradually being revealed. I thought it would take some time, or perhaps until we reach the ninth level world, to fully understand it. I didn't expect this great gift to be delivered to us.
I have to thank you, Dou Lin. Without your ability, I wouldn’t be able to get such an item.
I also want to thank everyone. This is the system reward after killing the final BOSS in the eighth-level world. Everyone has contributed.
Boss Wei and I will also share our personal collections. Thank you all! "
Mu Zhong reacted very quickly. While celebrating, he did not forget his fellow comrades. After all, it involved the "Road to the God's Residence" and such a straightforward "divine nature", which was more than priceless. I'm afraid that even if an advanced civilization existed for tens of millions of years, it might not have such an opportunity.
But such a precious thing was inadvertently placed in front of them on this day. Mu Zhong and Wei Huan were of one mind and one body, and were even happier than when they themselves obtained the "godhood".
Naturally, we should be grateful for what we should be grateful for and celebrate what we should celebrate.
At the same time, he turned his head and looked at Wei Huan. The two exchanged glances silently, and Wei Huan nodded in agreement: "With this treasure in hand, I have no intention of continuing the banquet. Everyone continue, I will be leaving first."
Walking is natural, and no one would be in the mood for fun.
Xu Qingqiang said: "When I saw the Tao, it was the Blood Queen who wanted to kill me, but I still rushed in. Fortunately, I ate it. I understand your thoughts very well."
Captain Xue wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth: "Xu Qingqiang entered the Dao, the boss wants to reach the next level, where is my Dao?"
Hammer was in the corner, looking at the middle of the crowd, muttering: "I heard the truth in the morning..."
After Wei Huan left, the news that he obtained the fragments of the divine nature brought the celebration to a second climax. Everyone discussed it excitedly, imagining the road to the divine residence and the future of human civilization on Blue Star.
Most people here know very well that they will not be the one standing at the top, so Wei Huan’s strength is what they like to see. Following the footsteps of the strong and protecting human civilization, this is such a great and proud thing!
Wei Huan has already arrived at the dark source room, and Xu Qingqiang and Changle came with him.
The direction of their cultivation involves the death series, and Wei Huan hopes that they can also go further through this fragment of the divine nature.
Of course, this fragment of the divine power is so precious that no one would say anything even if he enjoyed it alone, but Wei Huan thought it was unnecessary.
The fragment of the divine nature was like a book. If he wanted to gain the knowledge in the book, he had to read it and feel it instead of eating it.
The same book can be interpreted differently by different people. He called Xu Qingqiang and Changle to share it, and it would not affect each other, but they would only make progress together.
Changle was so moved by Wei Huan's selflessness that she almost cried. Walking behind him, she secretly asked Xu Qingqiang, "Brother Qiang, can I really do this? That's a godhood. I haven't even advanced to Sequence Seven yet, and haven't even entered the realm yet. Can I see it?"
"What are you thinking about? Boss said you can watch, so you can watch." Xu Qingqiang glanced at Changle and smiled, "Remember you pledged allegiance to Boss when we were on the third-level highway? Yes, you have good vision. Back then, I was even against your Boss, and I was reluctant to accept the missions assigned to me. But even though I was like that, our Boss accepted them without any grudges. Remember to always be loyal to Boss. Whatever the Boss gives you is right. Don't overthink it!"
"Yeah!" Changle nodded. At that time, he wanted to join the army and make achievements. Although his loyalty to the boss was a coincidence, the hardships he endured in the following years to catch up with the boss and his repeated perseverance have repeatedly strengthened his belief in following the boss and never wavering.
Xu Qingqiang was naturally satisfied with this kid. The soldiers trained by Commander Mu Dehao were absolutely Wei Huan's direct subordinates, his own people with whom he could confide. He was also happy to see him become stronger so that he could help him.
"Frank has Osam and the Frank family behind him. You have me and your boss's support, so don't worry. You'll always be one step ahead of him."
Changle touched his nose and nodded shyly with a smile.
He was born into a common family and had no background, but he was cultivated and trusted by the bosses, who also supported him behind the scenes. He knew how good the bosses were. To be unfaithful and unjust, when the interests of Blue Star and the human race conflicted with the bosses, he would never hesitate to stand by the bosses' side, without any hesitation.
Just thinking about it this way, he no longer felt burdened by the special treatment that the boss specially gave him.
He received special care from the boss, so of course he had to become stronger. Only someone like Brother Qiang could really help the boss!
Wei Huan listened to the whole story with a slight smile on his lips, and couldn't help but recall his encounter with an important person after his rebirth.
The memories are all beautiful.
Soon, they arrived at the dark source room.
The dark source room has also undergone great changes after the tank was upgraded twice.
Not only has the space become larger, with many separate training rooms, the dark energy here has also increased dozens of times.
The last time they went to the Dark Beast Plane to "purchase goods", they not only brought back ancient god materials and equipment supplies, but also dug up a large amount of dark sources. Now most of them are piled up in this room. If non-dark professions accidentally break into here, they will be swallowed up by dark energy and die if they are not careful. But for them, the dark professions, this place is as comfortable as heaven.
Wei Huan entered his own training room, which was closest to the dark source and had the most dark energy. It was so dense that he could even see dark matter with his eyes.
The three of them sat down in the room. Wei Huan took out the wooden and iron treasure chest again and said before opening it, "If you feel uncomfortable, feel free to leave. I can come back anytime during this period. Don't be stubborn."
Xu Qingqiang nodded, walked to the corner and lit a cigarette for himself: "Let's start."
Changle went to the door. He was worried that he would be the first to be unable to bear it and was afraid of disturbing the two people's practice.
Seeing that the two were ready, Wei Huan opened the treasure chest again.
"Woo woo woo--" A familiar scene appeared, and the strange cries of ghosts and white ghosts quickly filled the space.
Just as he thought, the room that could block out dark matter could also prevent the souls of the dead from penetrating.
Then Wei Huan took the fragment of the divine nature in his hand for the first time. It felt a little cold, which was normal. But Wei Huan knew that this was because he majored in the way of death, and the divine nature was in harmony with him, so there was nothing unusual.
If we change to other sequences, even if Xu Qingqiang or Changle come, I'm afraid the feel will not be the same.
Just look at now, this fragment of the divine nature has only been exposed for a moment, but Xu Qingqiang and Changle's expressions seem a little tense and solemn.
After all, they are not of the Death type, one is a criminal sequence, the other is a farmer sequence, Xu Qingqiang is on the path of the devil, and Changle is a warrior, but because of his talent tending towards the Death type, or in other words, like Xu Qingqiang, he has eaten himself into half of the Death type, which is not pure enough. In front of the divine nature condensed by the God, it is bound to be very difficult.
Wei Huan held the divine power in his hand and felt it for a while. The fragments of the divine power were irregular, and were engraved with patterns of the way of death. In other words, it was formed by circles of perceptions of death that were intertwined and condensed.
To put it simply, it is like the DNA that makes up a cell; it is almost impossible to crack it directly.
But if we do not start from the godhead itself, but instead comprehend from the laws it releases, it will be much easier.
Wei Huan had just taken a few glances in the banquet hall not long ago and had some feelings about it, so he couldn't wait to come into seclusion.
After confirming that it was difficult to see anything from the divine nature itself, Wei Huan loosened his hand, and the fragment of the divine nature floated in the air.
Wei Huan turned around and planned to find a place to sit against the wall and feel it slowly.
Xu Qingqiang's voice rang out at this time: "There's also a godhead buried under the World Tree in the sixth-level world. It seems to be a complete godhead. What's the difference between it and this?"
Wei Huan said, "It's probably the difference between a box full of things and an empty box."
Xu Qingqiang said, "So if we can see through the rules and master them, it will become an empty box?"
"It's not that simple. There are countless races in the ninth-level world. How many brilliant geniuses are there, and how many gods can it produce? I'm afraid this path is not just difficult, it's almost impossible."
Xu Qingqiang winked and said, "Perhaps I am one of those super geniuses that only appears once in billions of civilizations?"
Wei Huan was amused: "That's great, I'll follow you from now on."
"Speaking of which, if my brothers have a bite to eat, I'll have a bite to eat too, so let's just get along with each other, hahaha."
Wei Huan also laughed.
Changle looked at the two bosses who were talking and laughing, and also laughed foolishly.
After chatting for a few more sentences, the room became quiet. Wei Huan released his spiritual consciousness, wanting to enter the "Chain Universe" like the assessment highway, and make an extremely microscopic observation. Unexpectedly, he succeeded at once.
He instantly entered the depths and saw sleeping corpses, from all ethnic groups, with all kinds of appearances, and having died in all kinds of strange ways.
They were entangled together, clearly dead, yet still moving, like a rope wrapped in a huge force. In the process of tightening, these corpses also twisted into different shapes, becoming tighter and tighter, and finally becoming a real rope.
Wei Huan felt dizzy as if he had seen a kaleidoscope. He blinked and then continued to look.
He soon discovered that these corpse ropes were just tiny entities like gene chains and DNA. They would combine with other substances to form cell-like objects, and then entangle with more substances until they finally formed the souls themselves.
Yes, the way of death itself is like this. It should not only be the soul structure of dark beasts, but the destination of all life in the world and the three thousand dimensions.
Death is an indispensable part of the cycle of heaven and earth and of all things. They are led away from the underworld, then reborn from the filthy land, and finally enter the six realms of reincarnation.
But where is Huangquan?
How is the six realms of reincarnation constructed?
Wei Huan, who has only dabbled in the "Way of the Dirty Land" now, the more he understands, the more profound it becomes.
Cultivation is destined to be a long process.
Wei Huan immersed himself in it almost instantly, and with his previous understanding of the Way of Death, he had a much deeper comprehension than anyone else, and he was making steady progress.
Xu Qingqiang was different. He stared at the fragments of the divine nature for a while and found that he could not see anything. Then he knew that this was not his way of cultivation.
Then he cast his gaze on the flying and frightening ghosts and licked the corner of his scarlet mouth.
He is very clear about his method of cultivation.
Changle was the first one who couldn't bear to leave. He was not strong enough. In addition, although he was involved in the way of death, he was in resonance with the heroic spirit. That is to say, he was like the bull demon he merged with, brave, loyal, and stubborn. Therefore, this "way of the dirty land" did not suit him.
But Changle was stubborn. After vomiting outside the room and taking a rest, he returned to the dark room silently. After a while, he was forced to go out and vomit again by the howling of ghosts.
If we were to say what he had gained during this period of time, it was probably that his willpower had been tempered.
But God rewards hard work. If you keep going like this, you may gain something.
For a while, the three of them practiced in their own ways and made progress.
Time flies, and one day Wei Huan was suddenly awakened by Mu Zhong.
Mu Zhong told him, "The opening battle of the God's Tomb is about to begin. This time, I've prepared more space warehouses. How about we go and empty the Dark Beast World together?"
"Has it been so long?" Wei Huan was surprised. More than 20 days had passed in the blink of an eye?
