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

Lin Yuan and his two companions went to a blacksmith shop.

It's not difficult.

Although the town was abandoned, the blacksmith's shop was still there. Once the fire was lit and the furnace was started, it could be used again.

Lin Yuan prepared the first set of materials and then began to build according to the blueprints.

The clanging and clattering of metalworking echoed continuously.

After a full hour, Lin Yuan finally finished his work.

A dazzling light, a blend of gold and silver, suddenly shot into the sky. Then, a magnificent necklace, radiating a captivating luster, appeared before Lin Yuan. But two seconds later, the necklace abruptly fell to the ground.

Lin Yuan reacted quickly, reaching out and grabbing the necklace.

"It's done." He tossed the necklace directly to Su Yunmeng.

Your blacksmithing skill has increased by 50 points.

Lin Yuan rubbed his lower back and began to forge the second necklace.

Another hour passed, and the same thing happened again.

Your blacksmithing skill has increased by 50 points.

Lin Yuan tossed the second necklace to Han Ming, then grinned, realizing he had misjudged one thing.

Creating a necklace is extremely time-consuming!

Fortunately, collecting materials is also very difficult. If it were easy, he could collect 10 or 20 materials every day, and he wouldn't need to level up; he could just stay at the blacksmith shop.

"What would be a suitable price for this necklace?" Su Yunmeng asked.

Lin Yuan thought for a moment and said, "You collected the materials, so I don't know their exact value. How about this, we guarantee a profit of 5000 million."

"Okay." Su Yunmeng and Han Ming both agreed.

Therefore, Lin Yuan could earn 2500 million by creating a necklace.

The two women sent the necklace back to their homes via remote transaction, and then their families transferred the money to them. Just two minutes later, two huge sums of 2500 million were transferred to Lin Yuan's game account almost simultaneously.

The various functions offered by Chaoxing Games are so convenient and free that they have easily driven chat software companies, banks, and express delivery companies to bankruptcy or near bankruptcy.

Domestically, things are alright; there's official support, ensuring we're still barely hanging on and can be "revived" whenever needed. But abroad? In a capitalist society, how could the government possibly care!

After the necklace was finished, the two women left separately.

Lin Yuan stared blankly at the huge sum of money on his body.

He has sold a lot of equipment over the past few days, and his net worth has quietly reached more than 200 million, but compared with the 5000 million he made today, that's nothing.

The key point is that he earns 2500 million for every protective necklace he creates, and this source of income can be sustained for a long time.

There are plenty of level 110 players.

His worry was about how to spend the money.

There's so much of it, it seems like I could never use it all in this lifetime!

Then he shook his head and chuckled.

I still can't shake off the mindset of a poor person.

Is 5000 a lot?

He wants to start a company and hire a group of people. The 5000 million will be gone in no time, and if he doesn't manage it well, he might even end up owing 5000 million in no time.

What kind of businesses do people hire these days?

In the game, you fight monsters and farm materials.

But people die frequently in games, and compensation should be paid for each death, right? And what if many people die?

The losses outweighed the gains.

I will not start a company, absolutely not.

He still needs to attend martial arts university, so he'll definitely have to focus his energy on leveling up.

Besides, setting aside the protective necklace, how much could he earn by simply smelting the equipment, extracting the core essence, and selling it?

All he has to do is collect a black iron treasure chest, and it will immediately turn into a silver core essence!

One book, ten thousand profits.

Lin Yuan rubbed his face. He hadn't opened any of the treasure chests he received yet, intending to save them until he reached level 20 and open them all at once. But after not opening any treasure chests for several days, his hands were starting to itch.

"Then hurry up and level up, get to level 20 quickly!"

The desire to open treasure chests became the motivation to level up. Lin Yuan plunged headlong into the monster horde, ignoring everything else and just hacking and slashing.

Two days later, the group completed their tenth dungeon.

Unfortunately, there were no experience rewards, no equipment or skill books, but only one Agility Fruit and one Strength Fruit.

Two days later, they completed their 11th dungeon.

Lin Yuan finally received another experience point reward and successfully leveled up to level 19. He only needs 44% more experience to reach level 20!

Success is imminent.

Unfortunately, the other reward was a spiritual fruit, which he ate immediately.

Two more days passed, and they completed the last dungeon they could access before reaching level 20.

As a result... Lin Yuan obtained one Power Fruit and one Spirit Fruit.

No experience!

This means that the remaining 34% of experience he needs can only be gained by defeating monsters.

There are still 10 days until the martial arts exam, which is plenty of time.

Lin Yuan bid farewell to Su Yunmeng and the other four for the time being. Next, he will go into "seclusion" to focus on grinding monsters.

Five days passed. He logged out of the game once, reset the time, and then logged back in. Two more days passed.

Lin Yuan looked at the experience bar: 99.9999%.

He only needs one more monster to level up.

This is a historic moment.

kill!

He rushed over and unleashed a soul strike from afar, instantly killing the monster.

Congratulations on reaching level 20!

finally!finally!

Lin Yuan laughed heartily. He had been grinding monsters for the past seven days and was about to throw up.

The key point is that there are only 8 level 30 dungeons, which means that even if you farm all the gold-rated dungeons for experience, you can only level him up by a little over 7 levels.

What about level 40?

The number of copies has been further reduced!

Sigh, upgrading is so difficult now, what are we going to do in the future!

Lin Yuan shook his head, then excitedly rubbed his hands together.

Open the treasure chest! Open the treasure chest!

A few days ago, Han Ming also gave him a gold treasure chest, so he now has 5 gold treasure chests. As for silver treasure chests? 17! Bronze treasure chests are fewer, only 11.

Black Iron Treasure Chest?

He didn't keep any; he opened them all, and he melted down the equipment that came out, obtaining several Golden Core Essences, which he was waiting to upgrade to level 20 and embed into his Starry Sky equipment.

Starry Sky Armor, plus Gold-level enhancement!

Gee!

It's terrifying to even think about.

open!

This time, Lin Yuan started with the golden treasure chest.

You opened the golden treasure chest with your own hands.

[Because of your Treasure Chest King talent, the Golden Treasure Chest has been upgraded to a Star Treasure Chest.]

A beam of starlight shot into the sky with astonishing force, and then, a necklace appeared on the ground.

He picked it up, and the relevant information immediately popped up on the virtual screen in front of him.

【Moon Goddess Necklace (Starry Sky, Bound)】

Lin Yuan stared in disbelief at the special effects.

Poverty has limited my imagination!

Holy crap, this is StarCraft equipment?
