The quality of the treasure chests I open will always increase by 3.

Su Yunmeng seemed to be dreaming.

What did she do?

Enter the room, do parkour, then activate your talents, and then the "achievement" pops up.

Gold rating: Number one!

What does that even mean?!

For more than 80 years, countless teams have fought here, including geniuses from top martial arts universities. They used the best configurations, and perhaps the best equipment and props. Any team that can achieve a gold rating is the strongest of the strong!

However, Lin Yuan broke the record as soon as he started playing.

Gold rating: Number one!

Too bad!

However, now is not the time to celebrate.

—And there are a bunch of smaller monsters too.

She quickly swung her sword, and with one strike, a blast of ice light swept out, freezing a large group of monsters for about two seconds before they could move again.

This isn't a special effect of the weapon itself, but rather the result of her using her financial power to enhance it.

Working together, the two quickly wiped out all the monsters.

Of course, Lin Yuan's output accounted for the vast majority, probably more than 90%.

Only then did the two of them have time to go see

The rewards given by the game.

You have obtained the item: Blacksmith's Badge.

You have obtained the skill book: Shield Reflect.

Two mere awards.

But why aren't you getting experience points today?

Lin Yuan is currently craving experience points because of his Treasure Chest King talent. Opening the same chest at level 19 and level 20 yields completely different results: the former gives level 10 equipment, while the latter gives level 20 equipment!

"There are still 27 days until the martial arts exam... Even if I only get experience once every three days, it will be enough for me to reach level 20."

Lin Yuan suppressed his disappointment and then looked at his harvest.

Blacksmith's Badge?

Lin Yuan took out a jet-black token from his backpack, with the words "Blacksmith" branded on one side.

This item can unlock a quest. Activate now?

A game notification appears.

Lin Yuan nodded and pressed a button: Activate.

You've acquired a damaged blacksmith's badge. Try repairing it; you might be surprised by the reward.

[Repair requires: 3x Copper, 1x Tier 2 Monster Blood, 10x Stardust.]

He didn't have any of the materials needed for the repair, but that didn't matter; he could buy them on the trading platform.

What materials can't a game that's been running for over 80 years buy?

As long as you have money, that's all that matters.

"Qingfeng, I got 50% of the experience!" Su Yunmeng immediately jumped up, her well-developed chest bouncing with joy.

Lin Yuan was taken aback. How come she only got 50% of the experience? He got 90% yesterday!

Yes, she hardly did anything; she just managed to get the top gold rating.

Since he's in the team, the game can't not give him a reward, but it can't be the same as Lin Yuan's, so they have to lower the experience points and give him 50%.

Moreover, she's only level 10. Is giving her 50% experience the same as giving her level 14?

"Aren't there any other rewards?" Lin Yuan asked.

"Yes, there's also a B-grade skill book!" the young heiress exclaimed happily.

Since she was so happy, Lin Yuan didn't want to discourage her.

—I gained 90% of the experience yesterday.

"Let's see what the BOSS drops," Lin Yuan said. Then... the BOSS did drop something, but it was just a level 1 spirit stone, which he picked up and used immediately.

The two had already agreed that Su Yunmeng was just there to freeload off the rankings, and all the loot would go to Lin Yuan.

"Thank you!" Su Yunmeng beamed, looking incredibly cute and beautiful. "Are we going to other dungeons tomorrow? This 50% experience boost has spoiled me rotten; I don't want to level up anymore!"

Lin Yuan smiled: "It's not guaranteed to give experience. I didn't get any today. Okay, I'll find another dungeon tomorrow and try to get a gold rating. It would be best if I could get some experience."

"Mmm-hmm." Su Yunmeng nodded repeatedly. "I checked, the next dungeon closest to us is in Hangzhou, called Lost Garden."

"Okay, let's go to the Lost Garden tomorrow." Lin Yuan nodded.

"Then I'll be going now." Su Yunmeng waved to Lin Yuan, "See you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

After Su Yunmeng left, Lin Yuan looked at the spot where the two bosses had stood.

There is a box.

It's clearly a dilapidated treasure chest; it's completely wrecked, and you can almost see inside.

Hey, this is a silver treasure chest for me!

open.

He walked over and opened the box.

You opened the tattered treasure chest with your own hands.

[Because of your Treasure Chest King talent, the broken treasure chest has been upgraded to a golden treasure chest.]

A familiar notification flashed by, followed by a flash of silver light. The box disappeared, replaced by a strangely shaped crown with a horn protruding from its edge, its edges shimmering with silver light.

Silver treasure chests are obviously for opening silver equipment.

reasonable.

He took it out and inspected it.

[Unicorn Crown (Silver, Bound)]

Constitution: +60

Strength: +5

Agility: +5

Spirit: +6

Special effect: When attacked, it will stab the attacker with its horn, with a 50% chance to deal 50 damage.

Level required: 10

The added strength is too little, and it's such a waste to allocate 6 points to the mental attribute!

Although Lin Yuan complained inwardly, he still put on the equipment.

If there's nothing better, then I'll definitely still wear it.

Lin Yuan touched the protruding horn on the top of his head, feeling that if he went out like this, he would definitely be laughed at.

Transformation!

He quickly transformed his helmet back into its normal form, finally avoiding attracting attention.

withdraw.

As Lin Yuan walked out of the dungeon, he took out another reward.

[Shield Reflection (Rank A)] When activated, all targets attacking you will suffer reflected damage equal to 50% of your Strength. This damage cannot be reduced by Constitution and lasts for 10 seconds. Cooldown: 1 minute. Required: Shield.

Oh, a passive area-of-effect damage skill.

If you encounter something that attacks frequently but deals low damage per hit, whether it's a human or a monster, wouldn't it just reflect the attack back and kill it?

No wonder it's a gold-rated reward!

Lin Yuan chuckled and quickly patted the skill book onto his body to learn it.

Sell?

How could I possibly sell such a great skill!

Then, he checked the trading platform.

Alright, he sold another 4 pieces of black ironware, earning another 36 star coins. In addition, the recipe for the life potion from yesterday was also sold, bringing in nearly 30 star coins. Thus, his net worth has now exceeded one million.

A million Star Coins!

Before, he would have only dared to think about it.

Let's see what materials are needed to complete the blacksmith's quest.

Lin Yuan searched for them separately, then grinned.

expensive!

It's ridiculously expensive.

Buying all the materials would cost approximately 30 Star Coins.

Why don't you just rob it?

Lin Yuan checked the blacksmith's quest chain again. Good heavens, the 30 was just the starting point. After that, there were all sorts of errands to run. The first errands didn't cost any money, but they were a bit of a hassle. The last step was to hand over 3 portions of red gold, which was expensive. It actually cost 50!

50 million!

His net worth had just reached a million, but after completing this series of tasks, it was all wiped out.

What are the benefits of becoming a blacksmith?

First, you can craft equipment based on blueprints; second, you can enhance equipment.

Lin Yuan gritted his teeth; this money had to be spent!
