Triggering a treasure chest in Douluo Continent

Chapter 84 Another Loot Chest

Shi Quan had no interest in shopping. He searched for a full half hour before finally finding the special shop.

The hanging sign features a circular symbol depicting a sword, a hammer, and a blue lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, exactly as described in the original work.

The shop door was open.

Before even stepping inside, Shi Quan could already sense the special energy fluctuations within—the soul power fluctuations of the soul tool.

The shop was very spacious, with no counter or shelves; everything was hung on the three walls.

There was a recliner against the inner wall, and a figure was leisurely lying on it. Based on the feedback from spiritual sense, the face that was somewhat similar to the shoe sole was enough to tell that this person was none other than Flander, the dean of Shrek Academy.

Hearing the clattering of wooden sticks on the ground, Flander opened his eyes and lay back on the deck chair, looking at Shi Quan with great interest.

Shi Quan did not use the Illusion Mask to hide his soul power fluctuations. Although Flander could not see through Shi Quan's specific strength, he could tell from the soul power fluctuations emanating from Shi Quan that Shi Quan was a soul master.

Even for Flander, who was very knowledgeable, this was the first time he had ever seen a blind Soul Master, so he couldn't help but be curious.

As Flander sized up Shi Quan, Shi Quan's head was already tilted towards a crystal about the size of a human head on the wall.

The crystal itself is transparent, but it contains large areas of dark yellow impurities, which is the same piece of crystal that Tang San bought in the original novel.

"Boss, how much is this crystal?" Shi Quan reached out and touched the crystal panel on the wall.

"One hundred gold soul coins." Flander looked at Shi Quan with interest, thinking to himself, "Not blind?"

The problem is that there is indeed a strip of cloth tied in front of Shi Quan's eyes. Even if he is not blind, he should not be able to see it with the cloth blocking his view. So how did Shi Quan know that there was a crystal by the wall?

Shi Quan looked at Flander with interest and asked, "Boss, this price won't change, will it?"

Flander raised an eyebrow, sensing something was amiss, and asked, "Little boy, who sent you?"

"What do you mean by that, boss?"

"Not going to tell me?" Flander closed his eyes, lay down again, and said calmly, "Five hundred gold soul coins."

"Boss, don't take advantage of me just because I'm blind. It was 100 a moment ago, how come it's 500 now?"

"I misread it," Flander said lazily.

Shi Quan raised his hand and touched the crystal plate, saying, "Is it confirmed now?"

"You said this piece costs a thousand? I'm sure of it. If you want it, you can just pay and take it."

Hearing Flanders' words, Shi Quan was speechless for a moment.

This Flander is truly cunning and treacherous. In the original story, he only charged Tang San a maximum of five hundred gold soul coins, but in his case, it became a thousand.

It's also his own fault for being too clever for his own good. He asked an extra question, which made Flander think that someone had deliberately sent him to cause trouble for him.

"Okay." Shi Quan took out a thousand gold soul coins from the treasure bag inside his clothes and tossed them to Flander.

Flander caught the thousand gold soul coins that were tossed to him, then opened his eyes again, looking at Shi Quan with a strange expression. He thought to himself, "This kid isn't deliberately giving me money, is he? A thousand gold soul coins for such a piece of junk crystal?"

Flander lifted the money pouch in his hand, and hearing the clinking of the gold soul coins inside, a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips. "No problem, that crystal is yours."

For him, there was no guilt whatsoever about cheating a blind person.

Upon hearing what Flander said, Shi Quan immediately reached out and hugged Crystal.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, for obtaining the Crystal Plate and triggering the Plunder Treasure Chest. It has been opened for you. Congratulations, host, for obtaining the Millennium Soul Ring Age."

Upon hearing the voice from the system, Shi Quan smiled.

It turns out that as long as you steal Tang San's things, you can trigger a reward.

But what exactly is this thousand-year soul ring age limit?

After obtaining the crystal and triggering the plunder chest, Shi Quan immediately turned around and left. Stepping out the door, he put the crystal into his treasure bag when no one was paying attention, and then immediately summoned his storage space.

A golden light shimmered in the last compartment of the storage space.

Thousand-year Soul Ring Age Limit: A divinely bestowed power that, when absorbed, can increase the age limit of a Soul Ring by a thousand years.

Note: This item is a one-time consumable and can only be absorbed by one soul ring; it cannot be dispersed.

One thousand gold soul coins can be exchanged for a thousand-year soul ring duration. No matter how you look at it, it's a sure way to make money.

Fortunately, Shi Quan wasn't short of money, and he could still come up with the 1,000 gold soul coins. However, since Flander had tricked him, he had to find a chance to get his money back.

Back at the hotel, Shi Quan immediately absorbed the rewards from the looted treasure chest, adding the thousand-year soul ring's age to the second soul ring of his Blue Silver King Martial Soul.

The Blue Silver King's first spirit ring is worth 100 years. Its color will change after adding 1000 years. The same is true for his third spirit ring, which is worth 9000 years. Therefore, the second spirit ring is the best choice.

With the millennium limit increased, after a simple test by Shi Quan, although the age limit doubled, the hardening ability only increased by about 10% compared to before. Although it wasn't much, it was still a gain.

Based on the current situation, the rewards from looting chests are related to the items looted, and the rewards themselves seem to be somewhat related to the looted items.

Since even Ban Jing can get a reward, it's almost a certainty that he'll get the Eight Spider Lances' treasure chest.

However, we'll have to wait and see the specific planning process.

For the next two days, Shi Quan peacefully cultivated at the Rose Hotel.

It wasn't until two days later.

Roar!

The roar of a tiger came from downstairs.

As Shi Quan continued his cultivation, a smile played on his lips. He got up and left the room, quietly making his way to a corner of the first-floor lobby.

"Your martial soul is just Blue Silver Grass?"

"There are no useless martial spirits, only useless soul masters."

Listening to the conversation between the two, a mocking smile appeared on Shi Quan's lips. Tang San really did have a blind faith in the Grandmaster.

Even though he had spoken so harshly to them when he left, intending to sow discord between the two, it seems that Tang San still trusts Grandmaster just as much now.

Shi Quan watched the two fight quietly from the side.

The scene of their battle differs greatly from that in the original work. Perhaps because of Shi Quan, Tang San gained a deeper understanding of the use of Blue Silver Grass and began to combine it with his martial arts.

In the original story, Tang San only understood and realized this after suffering a setback in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament.

Because of Shi Quan, Tang San had thought of this in advance.

Logically speaking, it's quite simple to combine martial arts and martial spirit, yet Tang San, as the male protagonist, had to endure a setback before he could even come up with it. It's unclear whether this was to highlight his frustration or to show his inflexibility.

Because Tang San combined martial spirit and martial arts, Dai Mubai never gained any advantage from Tang San from the beginning.

It wasn't until he unleashed his third soul skill that Dai Mubai managed to turn the tide and put Tang San at a disadvantage.

After gaining the upper hand, Dai Mubai did not press his advantage but instead withdrew his martial spirit and chose to leave.

"I think we'll meet again soon. If anyone causes trouble for you at Shrek Academy, just mention my name: Evil-Eyed White Tiger Dai Mubai."

After saying this, Dai Mubai put his arm around the twin beauties and walked out of the hotel.

"Are you alright, sir?"

Seeing Dai Mubai leave, the hotel manager sent people to control the situation. Upon seeing Shi Quan sitting in the corner, he immediately asked the new waiter to inquire about Shi Quan's situation.

The hotel manager himself then began to entertain Tang San and Xiao Wu.

"fine."

Although the battle between Tang San and Dai Mubai left the hall in a mess, the area near Shi Quan remained unaffected.

Seeing that the excitement had ended so quickly, Shi Quan walked back to his room with little interest.

Tang San and Xiao Wu also noticed Shi Quan's unusual attire, but they didn't pay much attention to it. Soon, they followed the hotel manager and walked behind Shi Quan to the third floor.

The current developments are not too different from those in the original story; Tang San's strength is still 29.

Knowing this, Shi Quan felt much more at ease. Now he just had to wait for Ning Rongrong to provoke Oscar to break through level 30. However, Ning Rongrong was also a variable, since the current Ning Rongrong was quite different from the character in the original work.

Furthermore, if Ning Rongrong really comes to Shrek Academy, her purpose will be to find stronger partners, not to run away from home like in the original story. Therefore, she should not be as arrogant and domineering as in the original story.

In the original story, Oscar broke through to level 30 on the second day of school. If Ning Rongrong hadn't provoked him, she would have had to help him herself. Otherwise, losing the Eight Spider Lances would have been a huge loss.

Shi Quan carefully calculated the time to avoid any unnecessary accidents.

Two days later.

After Tang San and Xiao Wu checked out and left, Shi Quan leisurely went downstairs, checked out, and headed towards Shrek Academy at a leisurely pace.

Just as they left the city, Shi Quan suddenly noticed a solitary figure. Unlike Ye Lingling's loneliness and solitude, this figure exuded a simple coldness, a deathly coldness.

Her figure had long black hair and a voluptuous chest.

"Is this Zhu Zhuqing?" Shi Quan smiled. Zhu Zhuqing was one of the characters he admired most in the original work. If he hadn't ended up with Dai Mubai, he would have been quite fond of the character.

She actually chose to forgive a playboy who had once abandoned her and who lived a life of debauchery.

I'm sorry, but as a guy, he really can't accept this. This isn't some Mary Sue story about a pure, unattainable ideal.

Thinking this, Shi Quan gently tapped the ground with the wooden stick in his hand and walked towards Zhu Zhuqing. Zhu Zhuqing heard the sound behind her, turned around and looked back, and met Shi Quan's handsome face and eyes covered by a strip of cloth.

"Hello there."

"What is it?" Zhu Zhuqing asked coldly.

Shi Quan smiled and said, "Hello, I'm here to register for Shrek Academy. Are you here to register for Shrek Academy too? If so, would you like to go together?...
