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

I know, I know, otherwise why would I have stopped you?

Lin Yuan laughed and said, "However, I'm currently at a loss for what I need to make. I can't afford the materials! So, I'd like to cooperate with you. You provide the materials, I'll build it, and you'll be responsible for sales. I'll take 50% of the profits."

"Yes!" Su Yunmeng said without hesitation, afraid that she would miss the opportunity if she was even a second too slow.

Bingying nodded as well: "I have no problem on my end either."

There's absolutely no problem selling the necklace, so this is basically free money!

Does she need to discuss it with her family?

Need not!

If we miss this opportunity, we'll be the "sinners" of the family—okay, that's a bit of an exaggeration, but this money is just too easy to make.

Lin Yuan then sent the materials to the two women: "Message me once you've collected them all."

"Okay." Both women nodded, and then quickly contacted their families.

Acquiring these materials would cost at least 100 million yuan, which they didn't have. They would have to rely on their family's resources. Moreover, some of these materials weren't even available on the trading platforms, so they would have to mobilize their family's resources to obtain them.

With 50% of the profits being given away, doesn't Lin Yuan feel bad about it?

Of course not.

Now, he doesn't have to do anything. He just needs to wait for the two women to collect the materials, then craft them, and he can make a profit without incurring costs or taking any risks. Isn't that great?

After all, collecting these materials must not be too easy.

Both women left, wanting to hurry up and level up, while Lin Yuan checked the rewards as he walked out of the dungeon.

Two portions still.

[Power Fruit (Consumable)] After consumption, it permanently increases strength by 10 points.

Good stuff, but there's only one.

Sigh, this game is so stingy, couldn't it have given us a hundred or two?

Lin Yuan ate the crimson fruit, and his strength immediately increased by 10 points.

This has nothing to do with equipment; it truly belongs to him.

Lin Yuan thought it wouldn't be bad if he could get a Power Fruit every time he refreshed the Gold Rating.

Unlike Power Stones, Power Fruits have no limit on the number of times they can be used; you can eat as many as you have and keep adding more.

Wow, how powerful can those old-timers who started playing games more than 80 years ago be?

Level and equipment are no longer sufficient to fully measure the strength of these ancient artifacts.

More than 80 years ago!

Lin Yuan couldn't help but sigh. If he had traveled back 80 years, starting from the same point, how strong would he be now?

Of course, there are downsides as well.

—Collecting treasure chests is tough!

Moreover, when everyone is at level 10 or 20, where would the golden treasure chests come from?

Only in this era can his treasure chest king talent be fully realized.

Lin Yuan then looked at the second reward.

[Pet Egg (Iron Grade)] Hatch your pet! Time remaining: 5 days.

Oh, the pet's here.

In the game, players can have pets, just like the Slime Baby he got before. However, the Slime Baby can only be summoned three times, with time and number of summons limited, while normal pets do not have this limitation.

Pets can assist players in battle, and some even have very useful abilities, but pets are very difficult to obtain.

But... it's only at the Iron level!

"Iron grade" means that the pet's level is equivalent to a player of the same level wearing corresponding Iron grade armor.

For ordinary players, having such a pet as an assistant would directly double their combat power, or even more.

But for Lin Yuan, a pet of the Black Iron level is too weak.

After thinking about it, he decided to keep the pet for himself.

He should be financially secure soon.

Two or three pieces of equipment listed on the trading platform can be sold every day, earning two or three hundred thousand. Of course, now this has become pocket money. As long as the business of protective necklaces can be developed, hehe, it will definitely be a fortune every day.

Lin Yuan left the dungeon and began his journey towards the next level 20 dungeon.

It will take almost two more days.

He went out first to resupply and reset his time in the game.

With a slight tremor, he appeared in the real world.

All around were soldiers with live ammunition, giving people a strong sense of security.

Lin Yuan left through the exit, which meant he didn't need to go through any checks, so a few minutes later, he was walking on the streets of Rongcheng.

Since we're here, let's try some of Chengdu's specialties.

A few minutes later, Lin Yuan sat at a roadside stall, enjoying local specialties.

hot!

Lin Yuan's forehead was sweating. He had clearly ordered the mildly spicy flavor, so why was it still so spicy?

Fortunately, his physical condition improved, and he was able to withstand the spiciness.

He became more and more addicted to it, but after finishing, he had to drink two bottles of mineral water to feel better.

After replenishing his supplies, Lin Yuan headed towards the "door" he had come out through.

Since he was going in, he naturally had to have his level checked. Only after passing the check was he allowed to pass. But as soon as he walked out of the long corridor, the safety lights suddenly started flashing, emitting a blinding red light, while a sharp alarm sounded.

"Monster Invasion!"

"Non-military personnel, retreat immediately!"

The loudspeaker started playing, and those who hadn't yet entered the game quickly ran outside.

Lin Yuan was no exception.

Monsters from the game invading reality—this is no joke!

It's important to understand that the door itself has no level restrictions for entry; it's entirely an official, rigid rule. Similarly, monsters of any level can emerge from this door and disrupt the real world.

The strength of each monster invasion is determined by its number and level.

Lin stood far away, but did not leave.

The monster invasion is both a disaster and an opportunity.

In the game, leveling up and fighting monsters is slow because the monsters are not concentrated and their respawn rate is extremely slow. However, when monsters invade, their numbers are overwhelming, and killing these monsters does give experience points.

Lin Yuan was worried about his slow leveling up, and now that he was facing a monster invasion, how could he possibly leave?

boom!

Just as he was pondering this, he saw monsters darting out of the "door".

A whole bunch of fire imps.

They are less than 1 meter tall, with a short tail and a tuft of hair on their heads. They look ordinary, but each of them holds a ball of flame in its hands. As soon as they appear, they start waving their hands and throwing the flames out.

Instantly, the surrounding area burst into flames.

"Cack cack cack." The fire imps laughed as they scattered in all directions, throwing out flames that reappeared in less than a second.

Chu Chu Chu!

At the commander's order, the soldiers immediately opened fire.

Instantly, swarms of fire goblins fell, but there were simply too many of these monsters, and a few fire goblins still managed to break through.

At this point, people like Lin Yuan found a place to use their talents.

on!

Lin Yuan immediately drew his sword to meet the attack. The Flame Imp was a monster around level 15, which would give him just enough experience to reach the maximum level.
