Infinite: Starting from Infiltrating Other Spaces

Li Xia frowned. Claude's words were contradictory: "Why is that?"

"This is because of the uncertainty of the Treasure Chest of Destiny. Most people have only heard of the Treasure Chest of Destiny, but know nothing about it."

Claude patiently explained, "To give you an analogy, the Treasure Chest of Destiny is like a lottery ticket. The odds of winning are very low, but if you do win, you'll gain something very important."

Furthermore, winning this lottery ticket inherently involves uncertainty; do you understand now?

"Um......"

Those guilds are willing to accept treasure chests as if they were lottery tickets; they desperately want to win the lottery, but they can't afford to pay more than the price of the prize.

That's why this situation has arisen.

"Even so, if you choose to sell it, what you get is still amazing for a Tier 1, enough to smoothly advance to Tier 4."

I guarantee you'll have suitable equipment for each tier you level up; it won't be top-tier, but it definitely won't be ordinary either.

After thinking for a moment, Li Xia asked, "What can you get from the Treasure Chest of Destiny?"

“Destiny equipment!” Claude’s tone was surprisingly awe-inspiring. “First of all, destiny chests are completely different from ordinary chests.”

Normal treasure chests are generated by the Hall of Fame from the enemies you kill, and at most, they will add equipment to the Hall of Fame equipment pool.

But the Treasure Chest of Destiny is different; its opening is unrelated to luck (Li Xia raised his eyebrows, even showing some joy).

When opened, the treasure chest will weigh the opener's fate; the higher the fate weight, the more likely it is to yield a Fate-themed item.

Or rather, the Treasure Chest of Destiny has only two outcomes: Destiny Equipment or an empty chest.

Claude spoke fluently and without any intention of hiding anything, or rather, there was no need to hide anything.

Although few people have heard of the Treasure Chest of Destiny, the other families already know that there might be one, and this cannot be kept secret any longer.

If you're determined, you can always find out.

"Destiny equipment has transcended the limitations of rank. Only by obtaining it will you know how amazing it is. Once you obtain destiny equipment, it will evolve into the most suitable form according to your destiny. It can accompany you to travel through infinite worlds until the end of your journey."

Li Xia keenly sensed what was hidden in Claude's words: the limitation of rank?

"Does this mean that ordinary equipment becomes unusable after being upgraded?"

Claude laughed heartily: "You don't actually think that advancing in rank is just about moving to a different place, do you? Or that different rank worlds are just different planets in the same universe?"

Huh? Could it be... not?

Li Xia frowned. He had always thought that the so-called adventures in different worlds were just about going to different planets in the universe, and he had never even thought of asking about the Transcendent Hall.

Claude laughed heartily, as if he had made the same mistake and been laughed at in the same way before.

After laughing for a while, Claude gradually calmed down, his aged voice carrying a strange solemnity and reverence.

"Every world is just an insignificant bubble in the void sea, and every advancement is a leap forward for the world!"

Li Xia didn't quite understand, but he was greatly shocked.

Silence fell over the walkie-talkie.

After a long while, Claude slowly said, "Well? Can you give me an answer?"

Li Xia took a deep breath and said slowly as well:

"Thank you for your explanation, but I want to... test the weight of my own destiny!"

"Is that so... It's a pity, but... all apostles who reach the highest rank will make that choice."

Chapter 55 Thranduil, the Elf King (Please continue reading)

The chat ended quickly. Claude's purpose was simple: the Treasure Chest of Destiny and Li Xia.

If it succeeds, everyone will be happy; if it doesn't, it's still a good connection, since the temple isn't just about fighting and killing.

"Mr. Claude, how do I return the walkie-talkie to you?"

Claude's nonchalant voice came through the walkie-talkie: "It's just a little gadget, consider it a small gift."

This is standard equipment from our Brotherhood of Steel. If we encounter it in other infinite worlds in the future, it can be connected to the team's public channel and might be of help.

We also hope that when you encounter our lower-ranking members, you will show mercy if there is no conflict of interest.

Li Xia was silent for a moment: "I'll try my best."

....................

After putting away the walkie-talkie, Li Xia stood up. At this moment, the sky in the distance was beginning to lighten, and the long night was finally coming to an end.

He didn't plan to open the Treasure Chest of Destiny now. He planned to wait until the trial ended and he returned to his space to continue to inquire about the Treasure Chest of Destiny.

It's unlikely that Cloud is lying to himself, but verification from multiple sources is definitely safer. This joint trial instance is nearing its end.

There's no rush.

The apostles were extremely efficient; in the short time it took them to chat with Claude, a large amount of salvaged supplies had already piled up on the shore.

The lake was filled with the residents' wooden furniture boxes. The apostles were overjoyed, earning three contribution points for each box they retrieved, although it was quite laborious as they still needed to put them on the shore.

But you don't need to run around or fight; you just need to put in some effort, which is practically free money!

Those apostles who were skilled in practical work before entering the hall began to tinker with the small boats, not to make them as perfect as before, but just to make them last until they crossed the long lake.

By the time the sun rose, the apostles had completed most of the faction quests they had issued.

One of the apostles, whose talent skill was repair, single-handedly repaired 30 ships, earning a whopping 300 faction contribution points, and excitedly roared with joy.

Previously, in the dwarf faction, due to my weak combat ability and poor performance in other aspects, I only received a pitiful twenty points of contribution.

Who would have thought I could earn three hundred here in one night?

The other apostles didn't earn much, but it was a world of difference compared to before. Those with outstanding individual strength mostly chose to stay in their original camp.

Seeing that the apostles had reaped a bountiful harvest, they sat down in twos and threes, preparing to eat something and rest.

Li Xia sneered, "You want to rest? Even the donkeys in the production team don't rest like this!"

Release new faction quests directly.

[Faction Quests]

[Mission Objective: Escort the residents of Longlake Town to River Valley]

[Task Time Limit: 1 days]

[Task Reward: 10 Contribution Points]

"Quickly! Another job is needed!" The apostles jumped up as if their pants were on fire and pushed the small boat into the water.

More than a hundred people, carrying supplies, were scattered across forty small boats, rowing towards the depths of Changhu Lake.

The lake is like a giant mirror, and the morning sunlight shines on it, giving it a golden edge.

The bow of the boat broke through the lake water, making a soft splashing sound. As the boat moved forward, the mirror-like surface was slowly cut open, rippling in layers, and the golden light also rippled, like fine golden scales.

As the boat sailed deeper into the lake, a light mist began to rise from the surface. This mist seemed to linger on the surface of the lake for a long time, regardless of the weather.

Li Xia stood at the bow of the foremost small boat, holding a torch high, truly like a leader, guiding the fleet's direction.

Boris, who had previously been appointed as a member of the Long Lake Town Guard, stood to the side, his eyes wide as he tried to find the familiar path.

The fog was getting thicker, but fortunately, experienced people had already tied the boats together with ropes to prevent anyone from getting lost.

The light from the torch at the forefront remained constant, even though only a faint orange glow remained in the thick fog. This light, however faint, calmed the unease in people's hearts.

"It's this way!"

Boris suddenly shouted excitedly, pointing to the rotten wooden stakes protruding from the water not far away.

We're almost there!

As if in response to his words, the mist before him suddenly cleared, and a majestic stone archway stood tall by the lake.

"Sir, this is River Valley State! The old dock is over there."

Following Boris's gaze, Li Xia saw a vacant lot next to the gate, with a stone-built dock extending into the lake, the latter half of which had collapsed into the water.

Near the shore, in the shallow water, the masts of boats protrude above the surface. Even through this dilapidated scene, one can imagine how prosperous the valley state once was.

From here, the dwarven castle at the foot of Lonely Mountain is clearly visible; no wonder the orcs had to divert their forces to attack this place.

River Valley is the only way to the castle.

.............

Boris is right. While large ships can no longer pass through here, it's perfectly fine for small boats that only carry a few people.

The group began moving things down the river like ants carrying food, while Li Xia led his men to wander around the valley, looking for a suitable location.

The city at the foot of the mountain is not large, at most accommodating ten or twenty thousand people, but the buildings are exquisite, with carefully polished stones adorned with decorations.

This shows how prosperous the city-state was back then, with human skeletons scattered everywhere on the ground and weeds growing extremely lushly.

The debris left behind by the panicked crowd has become tattered and broken over the past hundred years.

Only the stone buildings remained standing in the wind and rain, providing some shelter for the surviving residents.

"Let's do it here!"

Li Xia stood in the circular city hall. It was spacious, and the second floor had many rooms that could accommodate everyone. The walls were extremely sturdy, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack.

A notification from the Hall of Light immediately popped up.

The human faction's base has been determined.

[Current Location: Ruins of River Valley City Hall]

[Quartermaster Joel has been confirmed dead.]

A new quartermaster will be generated in the Hall of Fame.

[Generating...........]

The Quartermaster has been refreshed.

Li Xia was stunned for a moment, then followed the instructions and saw a person in the innermost room on the second floor.

He looks exactly like old Joel, except his expression is blank and he only answers questions mechanically.

I glanced at the redemption list and found that the items that had been redeemed before had been replenished.

As the faction leader, my reputation level has been automatically locked at the highest level.

[Reverence: 1203 points]

Killing Smaug grants battlefield contribution points, and combined with the points gained from completing missions, the total battlefield contribution points have now reached a certain level.

1. Xia (contribution 85%)

With a lead of more than 60% over the second place, they have basically secured first place.

However, so far, the contribution points have only amounted to a little over one hundred points, which is the share of the rewards that the apostles receive after completing faction missions.

If you want to exchange for the [Enlightenment Potion], you'll have to wait for the upcoming Battle of the Five Armies, as this is where the majority of contribution points are earned; you'll get it by defeating Orks.

So take advantage of this time and get ready!

Li Xia looked at the apostle who was preparing to rest and sneered twice. "You still want to rest?"

Task assigned! Get to work!

...............

Outside the valley, an army dressed in magnificent golden armor marched forward in orderly steps.

"Your Majesty, the Valley State is just ahead! The surviving residents of Long Lake Town have already arrived here."

The handsome Elf King, riding atop a giant moose, waved his hand, and the Elf army continued its advance.

A brand new notification suddenly popped up in front of Li Xia in the city hall.

The Elf forces are about to arrive in the Valley Kingdom!

"My lord! My lord, a large army of elves has arrived outside."
