Scourge Messenger

Chapter 25 Item Level
In the treasury of the inner hall of Anguo Temple, Yingru took out a coil of snake-patterned rope from his backpack.

"Ah, it's truly worthy of being a Murong family rope." Shang Xinlei took the serpentine rope and wrapped it around the turntable outside the vault, praising it, "It's simply a work of art."

"It seems the white fox has a lot of connections in Qi." Pharmacist Yuan said indifferently as he wound the rope, "The ropes sold by the Murong family to the outside world are not of this quality."

Ying Rushi smiled and said, "It's not really a connection. After all, ropes are precious. You really can't buy this quality anywhere else. But if you want to be cheap, no one would have such high standards for rope quality as the Murong family. After all, their secret realm is under a cliff... I just know a friend of the Murong family, so it was easy to get it."

"Compared to that, Black Wolf, your connections are even more outrageous. You actually have a way to obtain a rare token. Could it be that you got the token synthesis blueprint from some secret realm?"

"It's not synthesis." Upon hearing this question, Pharmacist Yuan raised his head, his reserve tinged with pride. "It's sublimation."

"As expected, I know a thing or two about rare tokens, but none of them can match the power you just displayed, Black Wolf." Ying Rushi's voice was filled with surprise and a hint of jealousy. "You can actually sublimate a token... It's really..."

Pharmacist Yuan's face flushed slightly beneath the mask, and he felt relaxed both physically and mentally. His eyes softened as he looked at Ying Rushi, and he was even willing to give her some pointers: "It's not difficult to sublimate the token. As long as you refine it day and night and use it to perfection, you will be able to sublimate it."

Yan Qing was a little confused. He knew that 'token synthesis' and 'token sublimation' were two ways to upgrade the token.

However, he had never heard of the "rare token" mentioned by Black Wolf and White Fox, and had no idea what it referred to.

"Black Wolf, your rare token should have two effects: defense and counterattack." Shang Xinlei asked, but her tone was firm. "And the strength of the counterattack is proportional to the amount of damage you resist. Otherwise, you wouldn't have to wait for those bald asses to attack you before fighting back. From this perspective, your rare token should be a piece of armor? Or clothing?"

Ying Rushi glanced at Shang Xinlei.

She could also see this information, but she wouldn't say it out loud.

But Chishe had a sharp eye, Ying Rushi thought. She had thought that the token should be Black Wolf's very conspicuous fine steel spear.

The pharmacist was willing to expose herself and had no intention of concealing anything. She pulled her collar, revealing a dark brown inner armor. A faint blue light appeared on the edge of the inner armor, as if the armor was breathing.

"Second-level rare token: Ming Wang Armor." She said calmly, "When you need to attack in the future, you can rely on me."

This time, Yao Shiyuan finally saw the surprise in Yan Qing's eyes as he wished.

Just a little less jealous and unwilling. Humph, maybe he feels that he will never be able to catch up with me in this lifetime, so he doesn't even have the jealousy in his heart, right? Yao Shiyuan thought to himself.

But Yan Qing was not surprised by Ming Wang Jia, but because he finally understood that the rare token that Heilang and the others talked about so powerfully and that shocked the monks outside was actually a rare-level token in the game!
In The Courier, tokens are not only the source of player skills, but also the player's equipment, and naturally have different grades. From low to high, the grades are white common, blue rare, gold precious, orange legendary, and dark gold immortal.

Among them, the white common and blue rare items were overused by players, so Yan Qing didn't react when they heard them talking about rare tokens. It was like when you hear someone praise a treasure as "thin as a cicada's wing, white as snow", who would associate it with the Vida brand tissues they use to wipe their mouth and butt.

Yan Qing asked as he turned the serpentine rope, "What is the token above the rare token?"

Everyone looked at him strangely, and Shang Xinlei said, "Of course it's a rare and precious keepsake."

"What about the rare treasures?"

"That is a legendary token that is famous throughout the world, and its holders are all influential figures."

"What about above the legend?"

"Legend is the highest level." Shang Xinlei asked curiously, "Is there a token higher than Legend?" It seems that they don't know about the Immortal Token... Yan Qing was not surprised. After all, even the Legendary Token can only appear after the fourth transformation. It is indeed impossible for Chishe Heilang and others at their level to know the information about the Immortal Token.

However, from the name, it can be seen that the high-grade tokens in this world are much rarer than those in the game - rare becomes rare, precious becomes rare, and legendary is still legendary.

Alas, a good cook cannot cook without rice. No wonder they value rare tokens so much.

He thought and saw it that way, so Yao Shiyuan was very keenly aware that Yan Qing's eyes gradually changed from surprise to pity. Yao Shiyuan was familiar with this look - many nobles would go outside Chang'an and see the naked wild children on the street, throwing a little food to watch them fight over it. They looked down from a high position, pitying the world's many disasters.

Yao Shiyuan never thought that she would be the object of such a look. She even forgot to be angry and was just confused as to why Yan Qing looked at her like that.

But before she could say anything, Shang Xinlei asked a question that really caught her attention: "Isn't the quest reward to turn the Bingzi pepper forest into a keepsake? The reward for the Thieves' House should at least be a rare keepsake, right?"

"It could be a rare keepsake," Ying Ru said excitedly, "but it definitely can't be an ordinary keepsake."

"It's a legendary token." Yan Qing said.

At this point, Yao Shiyuan finally realized he should be angry and immediately retorted, "How do you know it's a legendary token? Do you know how rare legendary tokens are? And the quest reward is a first-level token. How can there be a first-level legendary token?"

Yan Qing didn't argue with her, but continued to twist the serpentine rope. As they twisted the rope, it tightened, and the door of the gold cabinet, which was entangled by the rope, began to make a sound of twisting and cracking.

The golden gate that even the messenger couldn't shake began to collapse under the action of a coil of rope!
Boom!
Following several loud explosions, the door of the gold cabinet that was entangled with snake-like ropes flew out of the cabinet and crashed into a ball in the air!
The golden cabinet door that would take the monks an hour to open only lasted a few words in their hands, and they didn't even use any tokens, just a rope!
"Although it was part of the plan, it was still shocking to actually see it." Ying Ru murmured, "How can a rope with so many knots unleash such tremendous power?"

"It's very simple, just the principle of the movable pulley gain." Yan Qing took out a large bag and said, "Hurry up and get your things and leave."

The key to using a rope to open a vault door is to use knots as pulleys to increase force. With enough knots, it's like using an extra-long lever to pry the door open. Yan Qing learned this technique from his experiences as a bank robber, and it's proven by practitioners in actual combat. He simply recreated the steps using his knowledge of physics.

All four gold cabinets were opened. Of course, Yan Qing and the others couldn't just take the Bingzi Jiaolin and leave. Even Pharmacist Yuan had no objection - the bag she prepared was the largest - but time was short and the task was heavy. There were so many treasures in the gold cabinets, so they had to fill the bags as quickly as possible and leave.

However, although the gold cabinet is large and there are many things inside, most of them have no value to Yan Qing and his companions: the business deeds and land deeds are useless to them, they don’t need gems, gold and jewelry, and antiques and calligraphy and paintings are even more meaningless to them.

Therefore, the most valuable things in the vault are spiritual jade, blood-replenishing pills, and precious materials exploded from various secret realms!
As for the token of trust, there is none. After all, a token of trust is a weapon in the final analysis, and weapons need to be transformed into combat power. Even if the token of trust is not used temporarily, it must be kept at home as a backup. Who would lock a weapon in a safe to save interest?

But it was worth it just to grab a bag of spirit jade. Yan Qing felt that this sack should be able to hold two to three thousand spirit jade. Unfortunately, he was not a game character. Without a game console, he could not use the personal warehouse and the public warehouse, otherwise he could empty all four safes.

clang!
Suddenly, there was a clashing sound from behind. Yan Qing turned around and saw that it was Black Wolf and White Fox fighting. Black Wolf thrust out his spear, White Fox drew his sword, and the two refused to give an inch, blocking the way in front of a gold cabinet.

There was a knife rack in the gold cabinet, and on the knife rack was a three-foot-long knife. The handle was inlaid with gems to form patterns, and the scabbard was engraved with birds and beasts. It was elegant and imposing, and extremely luxurious. Even though there were other jewels and gold and silver in the gold cabinet, they all pale in comparison to this knife.

This is exactly the goal of their mission this time.

Bingzi pepper forest!

The method of stealing was based on a movie I like very much. The villain in the movie is a little bit more handsome than me.
