Global wonders have descended, and only I possess the treasure-hunting radar.

Wang Yan opened the system interface.

[Task Reward: 1 Lottery Draw Attempt]

[Is it extracted? 】

Wang Yan did not hesitate.

"Extract".

The next second, golden light exploded.

Wang Yan's eyes lit up.

It's gold again.

The last time, the golden light was given as a [treasure map].

This time, I don't think I'll disappoint him either!

[Congratulations on obtaining: SS-rank artifact, the Right to Use the Hundred Refinement Furnace *1]

[Rare Item: The Hundred-Refined Forge]

[Rank: SS]

[Abilities: Hundred Refinements Upgrade, Ability Fusion]

[Hundred Refinements Upgrade: Using artifacts of the same level as materials, one main artifact can be upgraded. Effective for artifacts below S rank. Success rate is 20% for using one artifact and 100% for using five artifacts.]

[Ability Fusion: After a main artifact successfully upgrades, you can choose two abilities from the material artifacts to fuse into yourself. The number of abilities in your system's collection will not decrease after the fusion process is complete.]

[Remaining uses: 1]

After reading it, Wang Yan paused for a moment, his breath catching in his throat.

SS-rank artifact?!

Although it's only a one-time use right.

But the effect is terrifyingly strong!

By investing six rare items, you can guarantee that one rare item will be selected and upgraded.

More importantly, it has a range of available ratings.

Valid only for levels S and below!

In other words, if he takes out six Grade A artifacts and throws them all into that furnace, he can upgrade one of them from Grade A to Grade S.

Even more outrageous is that you can choose two abilities from the material artifacts and integrate them into the main artifact.

This is no longer a simple upgrade.

This is the essence of several extraordinary objects, forcibly molded into something even stronger.

Moreover, the number of items in the system's collection will not decrease.

This means that smelting will not slow down his mission progress.

This reward...

So cool!

If headquarters finds out about this, the entire headquarters will probably explode.

Even if a normal person wields an instrument with all their might, they may not be able to elevate the level of a rare object.

However, as long as Wang Yan has enough A-grade artifact materials, he can immediately forge an S-grade artifact.

Wang Yan currently has exactly six Grade A items.

If you use one of the items as the main artifact and the other five as materials, you can guarantee a successful upgrade.

The Mirror Coffin, Judgment Pen, Blood Chain, and Wish App are all very powerful.

But for Wang Yan, their usefulness was limited.

It must be used as a material.

The Mask of the Seven Deadly Sins and the Roaring Shotgun are his core artifacts.

Choosing which promotion to pursue was a difficult decision for him.

【Seven Sins Mask】Provides him with attribute enhancement, physical enhancement, and the Seven Sins Punishment.

The [Sounding Shotgun] is the primary means of dealing damage.

To upgrade [Seven Deadly Sins Mask], you need to consume [Shaking Shotgun].

Upgrading the [Shaking Shotgun] will consume [Seven Deadly Sins Mask].

No matter which option you choose, it's not worth it.

It's not worth it, at least not right now.

Wang Yan quickly suppressed the urge to start smelting.

Good things are worth waiting to be used.

He needs more A-grade artifacts.

To give him a choice.

Thinking of this, Wang Yan closed the system interface.

He tidied up quickly.

Heading to TaoTao Bookstore.

Jiangdong City has not yet fully recovered.

There are roadblocks along the roadside.

There were still some vehicles belonging to the management bureau parked at several street corners.

Without delay, Wang Yan headed straight for Tao Tao Bookstore.

The five-kilometer radar was always on.

The two pursued, possessed artifacts and the five following auras were still moving.

Wang Yan originally had no intention of getting involved.

But the closer he got to Tao Tao Bookstore, the more he realized something was wrong.

Those two clusters of lights stopped right near his fastest route.

If you go straight through, you'll definitely crash.

Wang Yan didn't want to cause any unnecessary trouble.

He changed streets, intending to go around them.

But as soon as he changed direction, those few points of light also shifted.

It seemed to be heading straight for him.

Wang Yan paused for a moment.

"trouble."

He sped up, leaving the several figures behind him behind, and arrived at Tao Tao Bookstore ahead of them.

The bookstore's roller shutter door was half open.

The shop owner was sitting behind the counter scrolling through his phone, his face still a little pale.

Upon seeing Wang Yan enter, the boss subconsciously looked up.

"what?"

"Buy books."

"Buying books at this time of year?"

"I need to buy some study materials since the college entrance exam is coming up soon."

"The college entrance exam? You need to get going!"

Wang Yan quickly followed the system radar prompts and walked to the corner bookshelf.

He pulled out an old martial arts textbook with a gray cover.

[Unclaimed C-grade artifact detected: Martial Arts Manual.]

After taking the basic test papers, Wang Yan went to the counter to pay.

He then took the book and walked out of the bookstore, and then gently pressed his fingertip on the "Martial Arts Manual".

[Should I add this to my favorites?]

"collect."

[Successfully added to favorites.]

[Side effects have been waived.]

[Task: Collect 100 rare items (56/100).]

Wang Yangang wanted to check the abilities of the [Martial Arts Manual].

A phone call came in.

It was Wang Liqun who made the call.

"woke up?"

Wang Yan said, "He's awake."

Wang Liqun's voice sounded very busy.

"Come to the Administration Bureau. Shen Qingli is preparing to enter Lin Youyou's dream. Lin Youyou will only dare to agree if you are by her side."

"Seriously, don't you believe me?"

"There are some procedures and information from headquarters that they need to inform you about."

"Okay, I'll be right there!"

Wang Yan hung up the phone and was just about to go to the management bureau.

The two waves of light that were previously detected by the radar have moved.

They charged straight toward him, one after the other.

Wang Yan frowned upon seeing this.

"What the hell? Those two calamities came after me? Isn't this just suicide?!"

Wang Yan didn't take it seriously and sat quietly on a bench by the street, waiting.

Soon a man and a woman came into his line of sight.

Both of them were quite young.

The man was in his early twenties, his clothes were torn in several places, and there was blood on his shoulder.

The woman was pale, clutching a bamboo tube tightly to her chest, and her steps were already unsteady.

The man gritted his teeth and said, "Jiang Li, are you sure the way out is this way?"

The woman, Jiang Li, was panting as she looked down at the bamboo tube in her arms.

"Lu Mingzhou, I'm sure."

The divination slip indicates that the only way out is in this direction.

Lu Mingzhou looked up and scanned the area; apart from Wang Yan sitting in a chair, there was no one else on the entire street.

In Lu Mingzhou's perception, there was no trace of strange energy emanating from Wang Yan.

Just an ordinary person.

Despair was evident in Lu Mingzhou's eyes.

"How are we supposed to survive if there's just one ordinary person here?"

"Should we hide in the building's ceremonies?"

"But those people behind us have the ability to detect strange objects. We hid several times before, and they were always found instantly, weren't they?"

Jiang Li was also anxious.

"I don't know, but strange objects shouldn't be wrong."

"It shows that this is the way out. Didn't we escape from that hell before because of it?"

Wang Yan's hearing was already far superior to that of ordinary people.

He heard their conversation very clearly.

"What the hell is this? I thought it was some kind of calamity, but it turns out to be two weapon wielders being chased?"

However, Wang Yan did not rush forward to ask.

Because the pursuers have arrived.

A golden ring crashed down from mid-air.

It landed at Lu Mingzhou and Jiang Li's feet and suddenly tightened.

Just as the two were about to escape, they were trapped in place.

The next moment, several figures emerged from the street corner.

The leader looked to be only in his thirties.

The leader looked at Lu Mingzhou and Jiang Li, who were trapped, and a sinister smile appeared on his face.

"You two bitches, you almost got away."

"The day to worship the Goddess of Fortune and Longevity is just around the corner."

"Without these two good specimens, how many fewer longevity fruits will we harvest this time?"

Strangely, the leader had taut skin and jet-black hair.

His voice, however, sounded as aged as that of an 80-year-old man.

He was followed by several burly men.

Seeing the two trapped, a group of people walked forward with sinister smiles.

He then proceeded to punch and kick Jiang Li and Lu Mingzhou.

Only one tall man stood there, his eyes darting around, and he didn't step forward.
