Chapter 321: Hidden Treasure Chest, Legendary Equipment!

It actually opened just by touching it.

Yun Mu lowered her head in disbelief, looking at the palm she had just used to touch the wall.

Touch of Unlocking is the GOAT!

What could be inside a hidden Treasure Chest?

She rubbed her hands together in excitement.

Oh, great God of Luck, bless me with good items! After putting on a show of Prayer, Yun Mu reached her fingers into the gap of the Treasure Chest.

Open for me!

【You have obtained item 【Gold Coin】 *4946】 (Pickpocketing +8%)

【You have obtained item 【Giant Gem (Purple)】】 【You have obtained item 【Luxurious Carpet (Purple)】】 【You have obtained equipment 【Red Oil Candle (Orange)】】 Orange Legendary-grade equipment, plus two Purple Champion-grade items! Woohoo~ taking off!

As expected of a hidden Treasure Chest! Let's check the item attributes first.

【Giant Gem (Purple)】

【Selling Price 4000 Gold Coin】

【A brilliant natural gemstone, it has no function, but if sold to a merchant, it should fetch a large profit.】

【Luxurious Carpet (Purple)】

【Selling Price 4800 Gold Coin】

【A handmade wool carpet engraved with intricate patterns, it has no function; placing it in your home should highlight your wealth.】

【Red Oil Candle (Orange)】

【Critical Hit +12%】

【Skill: Quick Eyes and Fast Hands】

【In the first turn of combat, ignore speed, act first, and deal +15% damage, Critical Hit +8%.】

【A handmade Red Oil Candle, its appearance is slightly mottled; its shape looks somewhat irregular and crooked due to the passage of time, but it still retains a unique aesthetic.】

Four thousand plus four thousand eight, eight thousand eight hundred Gold Coins! I'm really going to get rich now!

It's just a pity, why couldn't it just give her the Gold Coins directly?

Instead, it gave her two items that need to be sold; she has to find a merchant before she can sell these two items! Oh well, better than nothing.

I'll keep them for now.

Yun Mu stuffed the Giant Gem and the Luxurious Carpet into the space inside her earring, then looked at the Red Oil Candle at the bottom of the chest.

This thing was the first piece of Orange-quality equipment she had encountered inside a Dungeon.

Its effects were indeed very fitting for its Legendary-grade quality.

The Critical Hit +12% stat entry goes without saying; those who know, know.

The skill 【Quick Eyes and Fast Hands】 is where this piece of equipment truly shines.

In the first turn of combat, ignore speed to act first, and deal +15% damage with +8% Critical Hit!

Although, given her speed, acting first in the first turn doesn't seem to be of much use, but even if she only benefits from the fifteen percent damage bonus on the first attack and the total twenty percent critical hit chance, it is already quite powerful!

Besides, she could completely give this equipment to someone else to use.

Yun Mu thought of Lucy immediately; after promoting to Expert, her 【Constellation Magic: Blade Constellation】 is actually very suitable for unleashing at the start of a fight.

Or perhaps, give it to the Gatekeeper?

Let it unleash Taunt at the start... that won't really work, as it wouldn't be able to enjoy the candle's damage-boosting effect.

Then let's give it to Lucy for now!

Having made up her mind, Yun Mu handed the Red Oil Candle to Lucy.

"Let's have Miss Lucy use this piece of equipment."

"Alright." Lucy had no objections regarding equipment distribution; she would wear whatever Yun Mu gave her, so she agreed without hesitation.

"Gaba gaba!" Chester was jumping around at Yun Mu's feet; there was no need to guess, it was likely asking Yun Mu for credit and demanding a reward.

As for this reward... it was divided into those that could be freeloaded and those that could not.

Rewards that could not be freeloaded naturally referred to equipment and items; as a mimic, Chester's level and attributes would increase after consuming a certain amount of equipment.

And as for the rewards that could be freeloaded... ahem.

"I really can't do anything with you."

Yun Mu took the 【Door Panel Great Sword】 out from the earring space and sent it in front of Chester.

Better to give it equipment; besides, this thing was of no use to her anyway.

Furthermore, Chester's level increase could be considered a good thing for her.

"Gaba gaba!"

Chester looked very happy, with no signs of dissatisfaction.

It stuck out its tongue, rolled up the Door Panel Great Sword, and swallowed it into its belly.

The action made Yun Mu worry about whether it would cut its tongue.

"Right, this piece of equipment is also useless."

She suddenly thought of something, took the 【Nun's Foot Wraps】 out from the earring space, and threw them in front of Chester.

Her name suffix had already changed to 【Evil God】, and the slight Divine attribute added by the Nun's Foot Wraps couldn't be reversed at all.

Come to think of it, when her tag first converted to 【Evil God】, the Silver Wrist on her arm had once emitted a searing, Burning sensation.

Then, for some reason, she just subconsciously frowned, and that Burning sensation dissipated directly.

"Original flavor..."

Hmm? What sound was that? Yun Mu looked around in confusion, unable to find the source of the sound.

Could it be that she was hallucinating? "Gaba gaba."

Chester used its tongue to roll up the nun's foot-binding cloth; Yun Mu couldn't tell if it was just her imagination, but she always felt there was something strange about it.

【Your minion 【Old Thorn Mimic lv15 (Elite)】 has devoured the equipment 【Door Panel Great Sword (Blue)】 and 【Nun's Foot-binding Cloth (Blue)】】【【Old Thorn Mimic lv15 (Elite)】 has upgraded to 【Old Divine Mimic lv25 (Elite)】】【Your minion's Max HP +12, Attack +10, Spell Strength +10, Defense +9, Resilience +2, Dodge +5, Speed +2, Precision Correction +15, Critical Hit +6%】【Your minion has gained the skills 【Shengsheng shexian】【Repulsion Barrier】】【Shengsheng shexian: Fires a ray filled with divine energy, dealing physical damage equal to 45% of the damage correction to the enemy, with an additional 30% spell damage, while simultaneously inflicting the 【Holy Fire Burning】 effect on the hit unit.】

【Holy Fire Burning: All healing effects are reduced by 40%, and 5 points of damage are dealt per turn; the effect lasts for three turns.】

【Repulsion Barrier: Deploys a barrier that pushes units outside the barrier away and can block projectiles.】

【When used in turn-based combat, it deals spell damage equal to -20% of the damage correction to all enemies and inflicts the 【Chaos】 status on them.】

【Chaos: Causes them to randomly move to other positions in the team.】【Old Divine Mimic lv25 (Elite) Race: Mimic

Max HP: 50, Attack: 23, Spell Strength: 23, Defense: 25, Resilience: 8, Dodge: 40, Speed: 17, Precision Correction: 40, Critical Hit: 9% Traits: Sturdy (Defense increased by 150%), Intermediate Magic Resistance (20% damage reduction from Spell Strength), Storage (The belly can hold far more things than it appears) Skills: Lick, Whip, Bite, Acid Spit, Thorn Entanglement, Tengman bianda, Camouflage, Shengsheng shexian, Repulsion Barrier.】 "Huh?"

Looking at Chester's attribute panel, Yun Mu let out a slightly surprised "huh." It looked unexpectedly quite good~ Although the HP was relatively low, the Attack and Spell Strength weren't considered very high either.

But with 25 points of Defense, combined with the Sturdy trait, that made 63 points of Defense.

Intermediate Magic Resistance could also negate 20% of spell damage.

Among the skills, Lick could weaken armor, and Acid Spit could apply a Corrosion effect.

Thorn Entanglement could provide crowd control, and Whip would have Bleeding and Poisoning effects.

The newly added skill, Shengsheng shexian, also didn't look like it had low damage, and it could simultaneously reduce the enemy's healing effects while dealing 5 points of continuous damage per turn.

As for Repulsion Barrier, its effect in reality should be quite good, but inside a game Dungeon, the damage was too low.

The effect of 【Chaos】 was also not as useful as she had imagined.

Might as well swap out the Scarlet Knight. Opening the Game Panel, Yun Mu kicked the Scarlet Knight in the fourth position, and everyone shifted back one slot.

She set Chester in the first position.

"Very good, that will do."

Closing the Game Panel, Yun Mu led her partners out of the secret room and returned along the original path to the street where they started.

Not far ahead was the fork in the road leading to the next area.

Hmm, what is this? An old woman with a short stature and a hunched back sat on the ground, holding a lantern in her hand, appearing before Yun Mu.

"Hehehe, little girl, want to try your luck?"

The old woman chuckled softly and took out a jar from behind her back.

"The items inside these jars are all random; you can spend 1000 Gold Coins to pick any jar from me here."

【You have encountered the 【Two-Finger Old Woman】, and she is promoting the item 【Jar (Black)】 to you】【Jar (Black)】

【Apprentice 35%/Elite 28%/Expert 16%/Master 10%/Champion 5%/Legendary 3%/Epic 2%/Myth 1%】

【The Two-Finger Old Woman's jar; before opening it, no one knows what is actually inside.】

Have the blind box sellers arrived too? Looking at the panel description before her, Yun Mu hesitated for a moment, but still decided to buy one to try it out.

There was a probability of getting a Myth-grade item, even if it was only a one-percent chance.

But!

Back in the day, before she transmigrated, she had pulled characters from game gacha pools that only had a zero-point-something percent chance before hitting the pity threshold.

Therefore, a mere one-percent chance.

I'm going all in! 【Gold Coin -1000】

"Thank you for your patronage."

The old woman known as the Two-Finger Old Woman took out a jar and handed it to Yun Mu.

And after handing the jar into Yun Mu's hands, the Two-Finger Old Woman's body turned into a puff of smoke and dissipated.

This person, she wouldn't have run away out of a guilty conscience, would she?

Yun Mu thought to herself secretly.

Reaching out to pry open the jar's lid, a dazzling, uh, green light appeared before Yun Mu.

【Pingpingwuji Straight Sword (Green)】

【Attack +10】

【Backstab·Touxixi·Stealth Damage +12, Critical Hit +4%】

【Skill·Pingpingwuji】

【People will subconsciously ignore this straight sword, even if it appears in an occasion where it shouldn't.】

【This is a Pingpingwuji straight sword; everyone will subconsciously ignore it until they are pierced by this straight sword.】

Ugh... as expected, one shouldn't hold expectations for things like blind boxes.

Her one thousand Gold Coins!

Yun Mu wanted to settle the score with that Two-Finger Old Woman, but suddenly remembered that the other party had already run off.

Furthermore, before purchasing the Two-Finger Old Woman's jar, she had indeed seen the probabilities for obtaining equipment.

It was just that her luck this time was bad, and she hadn't opened any good equipment.

"... Forget it."

After hesitating for a moment, Yun Mu still didn't throw this straight sword to Chester.

Although it was only green-quality equipment, its effect was actually quite interesting.

A straight sword that looks Pingpingwuji, will people subconsciously ignore it?

Although green-quality equipment certainly couldn't fool high-level Transcendental, she could go to the Blacksmith Shop to upgrade the equipment! Feeling like it might be useful in the future, she would keep it for now.

Finally, she was about to arrive at the next area.

Not long after meeting the Two-Finger Old Woman, new fork options appeared before Yun Mu.

【Dilapidated Monastery】

【Incomplete Stone Tablet】

Fine, fine, fine, they're all broken, aren't they.

It felt like it didn't make much difference which one she chose.

Yun Mu didn't overthink it and walked straight to the left.

【You arrive inside the dilapidated Monastery, where only a statue of the God of War and Thunder remains relatively intact. Upon seeing this statue, you decide—】【1. Offer a Prayer. (Consumes one bottle of Holy Water)】【2. Walk up and give it a kick. (Consequences at your own risk)】【3. Pretend you saw nothing and leave immediately.】【4. Request the help of the God of War and Thunder. 【Special Option】 (Favorite of the Gods)】 "Hmm, choose four?" Yun Mu pondered seriously for a moment and said.

【You pray to the statue, hoping the God of War and Thunder will help you. Out of regard for your title, 【Favorite of the Gods】, the God of War and Thunder responds to you.】【You have obtained the temporary skill: Thundercloud Gathering】【Thundercloud Gathering: At the start of battle, summon a large thundercloud to shroud the enemy's head. When the enemy acts, there is a certain probability of calling down Thunder, dealing 180 points of spell damage to the enemy, with a 120% probability of inflicting paralysis.】

It's actually a field skill?

It looks pretty good, yay.

Yun Mu nodded with satisfaction.

Spending a short while, Yun Mu searched around this area, and after confirming there was nothing else here, she continued to move toward the next area.

Soon, a monster covered in dark green scales, hiding in the swamp, appeared before her.

【Shouling Quyu lv35 (Expert)】

【You have encountered an enemy—【Plague Mad Crocodile lv35 (Expert)】】(End of chapter)
