Chapter 143 Open the ancient treasure chest and gain a lot
“Huh? Can ancient silver coins be found in the captain’s bag? There are also intermediate magic crystals!”
Cao Xing was suddenly shocked.
He suppressed the excitement in his heart and continued to open the remaining three lieutenant bags.
[Open successfully]
[Obtain: Ancient gold coins*8]
[Obtain: Advanced Magic Crystal*11]
[Obtain: Blackened Object*7]
[Obtain: Topaz fragments (blue)*3]
[Obtain: Sunstone fragment (blue)*1]
[Obtain: Carnelian fragments (blue)*3]
[Get the book: History of War]
[Get the book: Discourse on life]
…
After all the bags of funerary objects were opened, Cao Xing took a deep breath.
“Too fierce!”
“This wave of harvest is really too much!”
There were so many things that it took him a lot of time to sort them out.
First, Cao Xing stuffed all the magic crystals and dozens of books into the storage box! Then he threw aside the rotten seeds and various debris that had lost their efficacy.
Then he put the broken gold nuggets and gold, silver, and copper jewelry into a box.
After that, those who put those green-quality amber pebbles and blue-quality stone fragments into their pockets.
After doing this, Cao Xing nodded, “Now, you can check the properties of these new props.”
First, of course, are the newly obtained ancient silver coins and ancient gold coins.
I looked at the properties.
[Ancient silver coin: an extremely ancient and rare coin that is no longer in circulation on the mainland. It has the imprint of space magic on it. 】
(After collecting 100 ancient silver coins, you can exchange for a mid-level ancient treasure chest, which can open up mid-level ancient weapons, production blueprints, secret medicine formulas, or other extinct items.)…
[Ancient gold coin: an extremely ancient and rare coin that is no longer in circulation on the mainland. It has a strong imprint of space magic on it. 】
(After collecting 100 ancient gold coins, you can exchange for a high-level ancient treasure chest, from which you can get high-level ancient weapons, production blueprints, secret medicine formulas, or other extinct items.)…
“Sure enough, as I guessed, ancient silver coins and ancient gold coins can be exchanged for more advanced treasure chests.”
“And the exchange ratio is the same, 100 ancient coins are exchanged for one treasure box.”
Then, Cao Xing looked at the dozens of newly acquired green-quality gems.
[Amber pebbles (green): can be embedded in weapons, increasing attack power by 5 points]
[Pomegranate pebbles (green): can be embedded in weapons, adding 3 points of spirit]
[Malachite Pebbles (Green): Can be embedded in weapons to increase strength by 3 points. 】
[Turquoise pebbles (green): Can be embedded in weapons to increase agility by 3 points. 】
(Note: Due to system updates, green-quality gems require primary forging skills before they can be set in the blacksmith shop.)…
Four kinds of green pebbles can be embedded in weapons to increase attributes.
Although it doesn’t look like much, it is an additional attribute and is pretty good.
Cao Xing nodded secretly, “These pebbles are quite expensive. Each one costs several thousand crowns. If you sell them all, it will be a huge sum of money.”
Then he continued to look at the blue gem fragments.
[Topaz fragments (blue): Can be embedded in weapons or equipment, adding 5 points of spirit and 10 points of magic attack power. 】
(Precious topaz fragments contain clear magical fluctuations and require intermediate forging skills to be inlaid.)…
[Sunstone fragments (blue): Can be embedded in weapons or equipment, increasing strength by 5 points and physical attack power by 10 points. 】
(Gorgeous and dazzling gemstones contain clear power fluctuations and require intermediate forging skills to be inlaid.)…
[Carnelian fragments (blue): Can be embedded in weapons or equipment, increasing agility by 5 points and physical attack power by 10 points. 】
(Stones as bright as flesh and blood require intermediate forging skills to be inlaid.)…
Cao Xing praised: “Not bad, the blue gems also add a lot more attributes.”
“What’s more important is that in addition to weapons, you can also inlay equipment. If it is inlaid all over the body, the improvement will be huge!”
He thought happily.
But the only regret is that intermediate forging skills are required to inlay it.
Thinking of this, Cao Xing thought to himself: “It seems that finding a blacksmith is imminent.”
“I don’t know if tonight’s recruitment will be effective.”
The other materials are not that interesting.
Most of the sundries found here have lost their effect due to the erosion of time.
For example, those magic plant seeds and various spools can only be disposed of as garbage now.
Then, Cao Xing looked at the number of ancient brass coins and ancient silver coins in his backpack.
[Ancient Brass Coin*1226]
【Silver Ancient Coin*104】
[Gold ancient coins*8]
…
“Very good. With so many ancient coins, I can directly exchange them for 12 ancient brass treasure chests and 1 ancient silver treasure chest!”
“This time, I’m going to open the box and open it all!”
Cao Xing was extremely excited, and then he clicked redeem directly.
At the same time, the system prompt appears.
[Do you want to consume ancient brass coins*1200 to exchange for ancient brass treasure chest*12? 】
[Do you want to consume 100 ancient silver coins to exchange for 1 ancient silver treasure chest? 】
“yes!”
As the prompt ends.
The next moment, a dozen space arrays appeared on the ground in front of Cao Xing.
As energy fluctuations continue to appear.
Cao Xing faintly saw the outlines of several treasure boxes emerging.
“Dang Cang! Dang Cang!”
After a sound of boxes hitting the ground.
The treasure chest that had been sealed in a different space for countless years reappeared on this day.
Looking at the dozen treasure boxes in front of him, Cao Xing had a look of joy on his face.
[A dusty ancient bronze treasure chest*12 was found. Do you want to open it? 】
“yes!”
As Cao Xing clicked OK, a pair of system prompts appeared in an instant.
[Open successfully. 】
[Obtain: Ancient Weapon·Triple Sniper Rifle (Blue)]
[Get: Ancient Cane (Blue)]
[Obtain: Ancient long bow (green)*1]
[Obtain: Ancient Composite Battle Ax (Green)*1]
[Obtain: Ancient Weapon Auxiliary Pistol (Green)]
[Obtain: Ancient Weapon·Hunting Compound Bow (Green)]
[Obtain: Small detection robot production drawings]
[Obtain: Small UAV production drawings]
[Obtain: Light combat drone production drawings]
[Obtain: Arc Star Bomb Production Blueprints]
[Obtain: Small resource pack*15]
[Obtain: spoiled food*172]
[Obtain: spoiled drinking water*74]
…
Lots of tips!
A total of three ancient weapons, plus four technological blueprints! Cao Xing immediately exclaimed: “Wo Ri, if we had these hot weapons during the novice protection period, wouldn’t I be able to kill anyone I see?”
He quickly checked and found the properties of three new ancient weapons.
[Ancient Weapon·Triple Sniper Rifle (Blue)]
[Quality: Excellent]
[Attack power: 219~231]
[Attack method: Aim at the enemy and shoot three bullets at the same time, causing damage equal to attack power*3. 】
[Attack interval: 2.5 seconds/time]
[Attached special effect: energy penetration (when attacking the enemy, there is a 30% probability of penetrating 40% of the enemy’s armor)]
[Charging method: 1 primary magic crystal can provide 300 shooting energy]
(A sniper rifle that uses energy ammunition and has good accuracy.)…
[Ancient Weapon Auxiliary Pistol (Green)]
[Quality: Excellent]
[Attack power: 124~156]
[Attack interval: 1 second/time]
[Included special effect: headshot (when attacking the head, an additional 30% damage is caused)]
…
[Ancient Weapon: Hunting Compound Bow]
[Quality: Excellent]
[Attack power: 157~174]
[Attack interval: 2 seconds/time]
[Included special effects: body penetration (powerful explosive and penetrating power, with a 20% probability of directly penetrating the enemy’s body, causing 150% damage, and comes with 3 layers of bleeding effects)]
…
Cao Xing nodded, “Sure enough, the weapons that came out of the bronze treasure chest are just relatively ordinary technological weapons, which can be used to deal with monsters below the second level.”
“The health of creatures of level 2 and above is too thick. Before you can fire a few shots, the enemy is already close to you.”
“However, that triple sniper rifle is pretty good and does a lot of damage. I happen to have a lot of magic crystals in my hand. At least I don’t have to worry about ammunition.”
Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction, and then there were the three cold weapons. Cao Xing glanced at them, and they had similar attributes to level 10 equipment of the same quality.
He put it directly into his backpack.
Next, there are the four drawings.
I looked at the properties of two of the drawings.
[Light combat drone production drawings]
[Introduction to the drawings: A combat drone with low-altitude flight capabilities can be produced in a machinery factory. 】
[Armor value: 35]
[Durability: 500]
[Attack speed: 2~4 energy bullets can be fired per second]
[Maximum flight speed: 75 kilometers/hour]
[Ultimate flight altitude: 4000 meters]
[Energy consumption: 2 hours in combat status/1 primary magic crystal, 30 days in low energy status/1 magic crystal]
[Required conditions for production: Intermediate mechanical factory, electronic component*1, iron*50, copper*30, magic crystal*1]
…
[Arc star bomb production drawings]
[Introduction to the drawing: Create an arc star bomb with explosive and paralyzing effects, which will cause a lot of damage to the enemy after being thrown]
[Attack power: 785~812]
[Attached special effect: Paralysis (causing a paralysis effect of 1 to 3 seconds to enemies within the range)]
[Required conditions for production: Intermediate Machinery Factory, Mithril*5, Primary Element Crystal*3, Thunder Stone*1]
…
“Huh? Are these two drawings good?”
“If I have enough materials, I can even build them in batches and start modern warfare directly!”
Cao Xing was overjoyed.
Especially that arc star bomb!
It actually has an attack power of nearly 800, and it also has an explosion paralysis effect! If Cao Xing carries enough [Arc Star Bombs] in his hand, and if he encounters an enemy, he can just throw them all out and they will drown him! Cao Xing thought happily.
However, both of these drawings require [Intermediate Machinery Factory].
And Cao Xing hasn’t even built the [Elementary Machinery Factory] yet.
As for the other drawings, the detection robot and ordinary drones, Cao Xing glanced at them and found that they were just ordinary drawings and of little use.
Just put it directly into the backpack.
At this point, Cao Xing has basically read through the contents of the 12 treasure chests.
Then, only the last [Ancient Silver Treasure Chest] was left unopened.
Cao Xing thought expectantly: “The ancient weapons found in the bronze treasure chest are already very powerful.”
“This silver treasure chest should be able to unlock stronger weapons, right?”
“I don’t expect too much. I’ll be satisfied if I can fire a weapon similar to Barrett!”
[Do you want to open the ancient silver treasure chest? 】
“yes.”
[Open successfully]
[Obtain: Intermediate ancient weapon·Mastiff shotgun (purple)]
[Get: Shotgun Bullets*30]
[Obtain: Extinct Intermediate Life Secret Medicine Formula (Improved Version)]
[Obtain: Medium Resource Pack*2]
[Obtain: spoiled drinking water*7]
…
“Holy shit! Damn it! Purple ancient weapons, and a mid-level life secret medicine formula!”
Cao Xing originally just wanted a weapon similar to Barrett.
Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected surprise! You know, what he needs most right now is this secret formula of life! However, in front of the name of this recipe, the words “Improved Version of Extinction” are added.
With anxiety, Cao Xing checked the properties of these two things.
[Intermediate ancient weapon·Mastiff shotgun (purple)]
[Quality: Rare]
[Attack power: 145~176]
[Attack method: Instantly erupts 8 bullets]
[Attack interval: 1 second/time]
[With special effect 1: Impact (when attacking at close range, there is an 80% probability of directly knocking the enemy back 2~10 meters)]
[With special effect 2: Body breaking (when attacking, there is a 30% probability of causing penetration, disability, etc. to the enemy)]
…
“What a powerful shotgun!”
Even though its attack power is much worse than Barrett’s.
But what you need to know is that the shotgun can fire out 8 bullets instantly! If they all hit one target, the damage caused will be much stronger than Barrett.
Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction, “This thing is best in close combat.”
“In the future, if I meet another killer who sees me as a mage and wants to come up close and kill me, I will just take out my shotgun and give him a shot!”
“That scene must be very sour and refreshing!”
Cao Xing burst out laughing.
Then, he checked the properties of the secret medicine formula of life.
[The extinct middle-level life secret medicine formula]
[Introduction to the blueprint: You can use this blueprint to create an improved version of the Secret Medicine of Life (Part 2)]
[Effect: After taking it, it can restore 2000 health points, cooling time is 30 seconds]
[Materials required for production: Intermediate medicine refining workshop, glass bottle*1, Ice Luan petal*1, Spirit Breath Grass*5, Cold Spirit Water*200ml. 】
(The formula was improved by a certain secret medicine master and is now extinct on this continent.)…
Seeing the effect of the medicine on this drawing, Cao Xing’s pupils suddenly shrank!
“Restore 2,000 health points at once, and there is only a 30-second cooldown!”
“This is much stronger than the ordinary secret medicine of life (small)!”
“As expected of the secret medicine master’s improved formula, hahaha!”
Cao Xing was very excited.
And the key is that he has both spiritual breath grass and cold spirit water.
All I need to do is find some ice luan flower petals and build an intermediate alchemy workshop.
Cao Xing can produce this secret life medicine in batches!
However, this potion looks like a prop used by second-level creatures.
After all, the recovery data is too high, directly 2,000 points, which can directly restore the health of a first-level survivor to full.
At this moment, he exhaled heavily.
“Finally, hundreds of relic bags and a dozen treasure boxes have been opened!”
“Now, all we have to do is find the Ice Luan Flower, find a basic medicine refining workshop, and find a blueprint for an intermediate medicine refining workshop.”
Although Cao Xing does not have these things.
But as a survivor of Blue Star, he has a unique advantage over these aborigines.
That is [the market].
There are tens of thousands of people in Area 174, and there will always be some survivors and some adventures.
Thinking of this, Cao Xing walked straight to the market, then opened the trading interface and entered the keyword [refining medicine].
After a bunch of sifting.
Many props related to alchemy appeared in front of Cao Xing, such as: books and introduction to alchemy, black powder formulas, alchemy manuals, etc…
After rummaging around, he actually found a production blueprint for the [Elementary Medicine Refining Workshop].
Cao Xing glanced at the consignor: Zou Qi
Hmm, a name I’ve never heard of.
He took a look at what Zou Qi needed.
[Required items: a lot of food, a lot of warm clothes*10, hunter skill book, equipment of green quality or above. 】
“Hunter skill book?”
Cao Xing looked at his backpack and saw that there was indeed a copy.
[Multiple burst skill book (green): Shoot 3 to 5 arrows continuously, each arrow causing 80% damage to the enemy, and the cooling time is 120 seconds. 】
This was the one he got last time in the Tombs of Ascalon, and it just so happened that no one around him could use it.
So, Cao Xing directly sent a private message.
“The multi-shot skill book is exchanged for the blueprint in your hand.”
It didn’t take long for Cao Xing to receive a reply from the other party.
Zou Qi: “What a fool! It’s Boss Cao Xing!”
“I didn’t expect that such a legendary boss would actually want to trade with me!”
The person on the other side seemed very excited.
After a while, Zou Qi came back and messaged: “I’m sorry, Mr. Cao Xing, I’m too excited.”
“By the way, you need the drawings of the primary alchemy workshop, right?”
“Yes.” Cao Xing replied directly.
Zou Qi continued: “I haven’t learned the multi-shot skill book yet. I don’t know what its attributes are. Can you let me take a look first?”
“Can.”
Cao Xing was still very direct, and then posted the attributes of this skill book.
After reading it, Zou Qi was surprised and said: “What a powerful skill! Boss Cao Xing, are you sure you want to use such a powerful skill book in exchange for my blueprints?”
he asked with some uncertainty.
Cao Xing nodded, “Yes, this skill book has no effect on me.”
In comparison, Multi-Shot, as a green quality skill book, is of great value to hunters.
But for Cao Xing, it has no effect.
This kind of transaction can be regarded as everyone getting what he needs.
After hearing this, Zou Qi replied: “Okay, thank you, Mr. Cao Xing.”
After saying that, the two parties conducted a wave of transactions.
[Transaction successful: You obtained [Elementary Alchemy Workshop Construction Blueprint], and you lost [Multiple Rapid Fire Skill Book (Green)]. ] Looking at the drawings in the backpack, Cao Xing also showed joy on his face.
I quickly checked the properties of this drawing.
[Elementary medicine refining workshop construction drawings: A workshop for making various secret medicines can be built in the territory. 】
[Armor value: 20 points]
[Durability value: 1800/1800]
[Occupied area: 120 square meters]
[Materials required for construction: wood*80, stone*60, iron*30, copper*20, primary element crystal*10.]
[Construction time: 6:32]
[Required personnel: Alchemist 0/1]
(Note: Personnel with high-level medicine refining technology can greatly improve the efficiency and success rate of medicine refining.)…
Cao Xing nodded, then clapped his hands and clicked on the drawing to study.
At this time, the survivor named Zou Qi sent a message: “Boss Cao Xing, thank you for the skill book.”
“However, I would like to take the liberty of asking a question.”
