Chapter 3576: Abyss Treasure Chest

Regarding the Negative Charisma · Basic Passive, Su Xiao had this idea when he obtained the 【Ancient Scroll】 before.

His plan was that if he could open the basic passive ability corresponding to Strength and Agility from the 【Basic Passive Skill Scroll Treasure Chest】, that would naturally be the best. If not, opening the highest-potential Charisma characteristic · Basic Passive was also acceptable.

Although the basic passive skill scrolls with the highest potential corresponding to Strength and Agility attributes were rare, compared to the highest-potential Negative Charisma · Basic Passive scroll, the rarity of the former two could not be compared.

The Negative Charisma · Basic Passive scroll was no longer a matter of rarity. Su Xiao suspected whether this thing had ever appeared before.

Regardless, his Charisma attribute had reached -15 points. If he really created a Negative Charisma · Basic Passive, with such a high Charisma attribute bonus, it must be a tyrannical ability.

One problem was, since he had obtained both the Charisma characteristic basic passive scroll and the 【Ancient Scroll】, where should he get a large amount of high-tier energy? According to the description of the 【Ancient Scroll】, the higher the tier of energy consumed this time, the greater the quantity, and the stronger the final finished scroll would be.

Su Xiao thought of the ancient battlefield at the first moment, but after a second thought, he felt it was not reliable. The Sleepers on the ancient battlefield were not to be trifled with. To be precise, he couldn't afford to provoke them now.

The ancient battlefield wouldn't work. Su Xiao opened the storage space and checked the 3354 soul residues and 332 soul residues (large pieces) inside. If he used the power of time and space as a fee to purify the soul energy inside, it seemed to be a good method.

Although the method was good, Su Xiao felt it was still not enough. If his guess was correct, there should have been no "Negative Charisma · Basic Passive" before. To make this idea a reality, it would likely require a massive amount of high-tier energy.

There was no doubt that the energy contained in the Soul Crystal was of a very high tier, but in terms of quantity, it was always a problem.

Su Xiao remembered one thing, to be precise, a scene in his memory that was hard to forget. Every time he went to the Seventh Floor of the Land of All Living Things, he could see soul crystals the size of millstones, and some even the size of houses, under the ice layer formed by soul energy.

He had tried to dig them before, but as a result, he was deducted Soul Coins and was transferred out of the Land of All Living Things. Now, thinking of the massive amount of soul energy, Su Xiao immediately remembered the Seventh Floor of the Land of All Living Things. If he used the 【Ancient Scroll】 there, the high-tier energy would definitely be more than enough.

Su Xiao extinguished the blazing fire stone under the glass pot, used the boiling Eternal Spring water in the glass pot to brew a cup of Black Maple Leaf tea, took a sip, and had a rough plan in his heart.

To achieve this, Su Xiao thought of Caesar and contacted him, but the result was that Caesar flatly refused.

However, after Su Xiao increased the reward to 90 ounces of time and space power, Caesar began to waver. When the reward reached 110 ounces of time and space power, Caesar promised that even if this plan didn't succeed, he would go to a hidden place later and activate the 【Ancient Scroll】 with the high-tier energy there.

After leaving the exclusive room, more than ten minutes later, Su Xiao arrived at the agreed location. At first, he didn't see Caesar, until Caesar coughed deliberately, and he saw Caesar dressed strangely.

At this time, Caesar was wearing heavy armor like an iron barrel, the lower edge of the armor reached his knees, and he wore an alloy helmet on his head, wrapping himself tightly.

Su Xiao handed both the 【Basic Passive · Secret Technique】 and the 【Ancient Scroll】 to Caesar. After Caesar took them, he walked into the trial field and entered the Land of All Living Things through the teleportation array.

Time passed second by second. After a full 10 minutes without news, Su Xiao estimated that Caesar should have failed this time. But just at this moment, he heard a muffled sound, and the bloated iron-barrel-shaped armor flew out, first hitting the wall in the distance, bouncing a few times, and then rolling near him.

Caesar's head poked out from the bloated iron-barrel-shaped armor. After crawling out like a caterpillar, he staggered a few steps like a drunkard before standing firm.

Caesar was just about to raise his hand to hand the scroll to Su Xiao, but in the next instant, he disappeared from the spot. He should have been thrown into some mission world to execute a mission. 110 ounces of time and space power was not easy to earn.

Absorbing a large amount of soul energy in the Land of All Living Things, Su Xiao could do this if he held the 【Ancient Scroll】, but the key was that once it caused him to be unable to enter the Land of All Living Things later, it would be troublesome.

Caesar didn't care about this. This guy often jumped back and forth between "Quasi-Arbiter" and "Official Arbiter." The punishment he received this time was not only being thrown into the mission world to execute special missions, but also being unable to enter the Land of All Living Things for a long time in the future. Even if he could enter later, he would have to pay a higher fee.

Caesar didn't care about not being able to enter the Land of All Living Things. He had the permission to go to the Eighth Floor of the Land of All Living Things, but he had only been to the Land of All Living Things twice in total. Once was to see what it was like, and the second time was this time.

After Caesar was transferred away, the scroll fell to the ground. Su Xiao picked it up and carefully observed the scroll. The scroll was semi-transparent as a whole, could not be unfolded for the time being, and had a tough texture. He tried to check its attributes, and the hint he got was that this scroll had reached a state of overflow, and its characteristics were changing.

Returning to the exclusive room, Su Xiao sat on the single-seat sofa and took out the 【Holy Snake Protection】. He found that the reaction of the holy snake inside the hollow gemstone was not intense, which meant that his luck was stable, and even favored.

Discovering this, Su Xiao took out all the treasure chests obtained this time, totaling: 【Twisted Abyss Treasure Chest】, 【Immortal-level Treasure Chest · Dark Object】, 【Slippery Biological Tissue Ball】, 【Immortal-level Treasure Chest · End of Suffering】, 【Immortal-level Treasure Chest · Immortal Insect】, 【Abyss Treasure Chest】, 【Original Sin Box】, 【World-class Treasure Chest】, 【Origin-level Treasure Chest · Immortality】.

A total of nine treasure chests, even the worst of them had a high gold content. Su Xiao opened the first five treasure chests together, and the hint appeared.

【You have started the Twisted Abyss Treasure Chest, Immortal-level Treasure Chest · Dark Object...】

【You have obtained Ash (Twisted · Special Item).】

【You have obtained Dark Devour (Synthetic, low-probability acquisition).】

【You have obtained Sharp Howl (Immortal-level · Ornament).】

【You have obtained Ten Thousand Insects (Soul-system · Skill Scroll).】

Opening five treasure chests, but only obtaining four items, this was not because of bad luck, but a production fusion that appeared with a smaller probability than flashing.

【Immortal-level Treasure Chest · Dark Object】 and 【Slippery Biological Tissue Ball】 were both obtained by killing extraterrestrial creatures. When opening these two treasure chests at the same time, the items produced by the two treasure chests, due to extremely high characteristic synchronization, showed signs of fusion, constituting the special equipment 【Dark Devour】.

【Dark Devour】

Origin: Gloom Continent/Reincarnation Paradise.

Quality: Immortal-level.

Category: Special Equipment.

Durability: 30/30 points.

Equipment requirement: Stamina attribute 240 points or more, Willpower 160 points or more.

Equipment effect: Slow Devour (Passive), can devour dark characteristic items at a slow speed.

Equipment debuff: Backlash (Passive), every time this equipment is used, there is a probability of causing Charisma attribute to slip.

Rating: 1500 points.

Introduction: A strange mass of pitch-black substance.

Price: 2048 Soul Coins.

Seeing this attribute, Su Xiao felt that this item might have great use. This kind of equipment with a high rating but a very single function, although it didn't look like much, precisely because of its single function, its strength in this aspect was far beyond other equipment of the same type.

Su Xiao didn't care about the Charisma attribute slip caused by using this equipment. It was already -15 points, so he wasn't afraid of the Charisma attribute continuing to slip.

Among the gains from the treasure chest, besides 【Dark Devour】, the other three items were also very practical, one of which was:

【Ash】

Origin: Gloom Continent/Abyss.

Category: Twisted Abyss characteristic item.

Usage effect: After sprinkling, it can reproduce traces of whether there are "Original Sin items" in this place, or if "Abyss creatures" have passed by.

The remaining two were items for sale. Although they were not suitable for Su Xiao to use, they were very valuable.

Su Xiao picked up the 【Original Sin Box】 and opened it.

【You have opened the Original Sin Box.】

【You have obtained Stuffed Soul Coin Bag (after opening, you can obtain 200 to 15000 Soul Coins).】

【You have obtained Greedy Coin Bag (after opening, you can obtain -13000 to 53000 Soul Coins).】

【You have obtained God Sect Badge (can be used three times).】

【God Sect Badge】

Origin: Gloom Continent.

Category: Consumable equipment.

Durability: 3/3 (cannot be restored in any way).

Usage pre-requirement: Agility attribute 260 points or more, Intelligence attribute 260 points or more, Soul Strength 300 points or more.

Equipment effect: Aid (Active), after activating this effect, it will summon the Saint Song Group or summon the Wolf Knight Team (each has a 50% summoning probability).

Hint: The number of members and comprehensive combat power of the Saint Song Group will be determined based on the summoner's True Intelligence attribute and Soul Strength.

Hint: If the summoner's Soul Strength is higher than 500 points, there will be a Saint Heart One in the summoned Saint Song Group.

Hint: The number of members and comprehensive combat power of the Wolf Knight Team will be determined based on the summoner's True Agility attribute and Soul Strength.

Hint: If the summoner's Soul Strength is higher than 630 points, there will be a Wolf Knight Captain in the summoned Wolf Knights.

Hint: This equipment cannot be activated twice in a row, and it is impossible to summon the Saint Song Group and the Wolf Knight Team at the same time in any way.

Hint: The combat power upper limit of the Saint Song Group and the Wolf Knight Team will be comprehensively judged based on the summoner himself and the situation of the world he is in.

Introduction: This is a powerful and reliable reinforcement. Cherish every opportunity to use it.

Su Xiao had obtained quite a few badges in Dead Silence City, all of which were used to exchange for items. The badge obtained this time was both equipment and a prop, and could be used a total of three times.

Su Xiao's True Agility and True Intelligence attributes didn't dare to say how much higher they were than those at the same stage. After all, he was a four-attribute developer. But in terms of Soul Strength, so far, he hadn't encountered any rivals. The Soul Lord he encountered before, he thought the other party had high Soul Strength based on the title, but after fighting, Su Xiao hadn't exerted much effort, and the other party was about to have their soul scattered.

Besides the 【God Sect Badge】, there were two types of coin bags. Among them, the 【Stuffed Soul Coin Bag】, Su Xiao had obtained similar items before, and after opening it, he got more than 200 Soul Coins.

This time, in addition to the normal Soul Coin bag, there was also a 【Greedy Coin Bag】. Opening this thing, if you were unlucky, you would not only get no Soul Coins but also have 13000 Soul Coins taken away. In contrast, the upper limit of this coin bag's revenue was also high, with more than 50,000 Soul Coins.

And spending all the Soul Coins until none were left, and then opening this coin bag, seemed feasible, but it was actually very dangerous.

For these two coin bags, Su Xiao's idea was to sell them. The 【Stuffed Soul Coin Bag】 would be sold for 7500 Soul Coins, and the 【Greedy Coin Bag】 would be sold for 5300 Soul Coins.

There were three treasure chests left. Su Xiao picked up the Abyss Treasure Chest dropped by the Wolf Knight Captain and opened it.

【You have opened the Abyss Treasure Chest.】

【You have obtained???.】

A mass of black mist appeared in front. This mass of black mist presented a vortex shape, as if wrapping something inside. Seeing this, Su Xiao immediately took out a charcoal box and sealed it inside the charcoal box without touching the black smoke vortex.

After wrapping the charcoal box with cloth strips covered with golden patterns, he walked quickly into an empty room a few square meters in size, threw the charcoal box inside, and after going out, sealed the door with his own permissions.

Su Xiao had opened Abyss Treasure Chests before, but this time, it was obviously something incredible. He wasn't curious about what it was, but the mutually exclusive, to be precise, mutually disgusted aura fluctuation already represented what it was—it was an artifact from the Abyss.

Not considering this unknown artifact for the time being, Su Xiao sat back on the single-seat sofa and picked up the 【World-class Treasure Chest】.

【You have opened the World-class Treasure Chest.】

【You have obtained World Core · Fragment × 2.】

【You have obtained Time and Space Power (130 ounces).】

【You have obtained Holy Candle (one-time prop).】

【Hint: After lighting, it will dispel darkness, evil spirits, etc., within a 5-meter radius around, and form a holy sanctuary area with a diameter of 5 meters, lasting until the candle goes out.】

After Su Xiao put away the gains, he picked up the last treasure chest, which was dropped by killing the God of Immortality.

【You have opened the Origin-level Treasure Chest · Immortality.】

【You have obtained Eternal Scepter (???).】

【Eternal Scepter】

Origin: Gloom Continent/Void/Wind Sea Continent/Ancient Dragon Kingdom.

Quality:??? (Visible after awakening)

Category:??? (Visible after awakening)

Durability: 5380/8600 points.

Equipment requirement:??? (Visible after awakening).

Equipment effect:??? (Visible after awakening).

Rating:??? (Visible after awakening).

Introduction: In the most glorious era of gods in the Gloom Continent, the God Sect invited three legendary blacksmiths from the Void, Wind Sea Continent, and Ancient Dragon Kingdom to forge this scepter together.

Price: Can be sold, transferred, etc.

A scepter with a gray rock layer wrapped around its exterior floated in front. After Su Xiao held it in his hand, his first feeling was heavy, extremely heavy.

This was likely not a weapon type. The reason was that weapon-type equipment generally wouldn't have such high durability. Instead, things like 【Smelting Furnace】, 【Origin Stone】, etc., all had high durability, especially the Origin Stone.

Su Xiao tried to consult the awakening method of this scepter. After learning that consulting this data required 350 ounces of time and space power, he closed the hint and put the 【Eternal Scepter】 into the storage space.

The gains from opening the treasure chest this time were higher than estimated. After checking the various items he had, Su Xiao decided to go to the "Great Gathering Place" to see, and sell the items he wanted to sell, so as to gather enough Soul Coins to buy "Technique Soul · Blade" from the Goblin Chamber of Commerce.

If possible, Su Xiao would also buy "Technique Soul · Body." His current Melee Master ability was Lv. 60, and he had a total of 110 Soul Crystals, which was enough to upgrade Melee Master to Lv. 69, and then break through to Lv. 70 with "Technique Soul · Body."

Under normal circumstances, upgrading Melee Master by 9 levels at once, such a large-scale improvement of technique-type abilities, would cause various problems. But Su Xiao himself mastered Blade Master, and his Blade Master ability was as high as Lv. 69.

Melee Master and Blade Master complemented each other. As long as the level of Blade Master was sufficient, continuously upgrading Melee Master would definitely not be a problem.

If he could upgrade both Blade Master and Melee Master to Lv. 70 this time, with Su Xiao's Lv. 80 brand level, there would be a situation where his true combat power and brand level were seriously mismatched.

However, it was too early to think about these things. The price of "Technique Soul · Blade" was 150,000 Soul Coins, and "Technique Soul · Body" was 130,000 to 145,000 Soul Coins. In addition, upgrading these two abilities to Lv. 70 would require a total payment of 54,000 Soul Coins for the upgrade fee.

Calculated this way, it would cost at least 334,000 Soul Coins, and this didn't count the consumed Soul Crystals.

Just as Su Xiao was about to head to the "Great Gathering Place," a hint appeared.

【You have obtained "Basic Passive · Blood Su Xing" scroll.】

【Hint: After using this scroll, your Charisma attribute will be stimulated to have the following two basic characteristics.】

1. If you need to wear Charisma characteristic equipment, it will be compared according to your own negative Charisma attribute × 15 Charisma judgment, thereby deciding whether it can be worn. Wearing or using Charisma characteristic equipment in this way will greatly accelerate the consumption of equipment durability (25 to 30 times the speed of equipment durability consumption).

Hint: When you use Charisma characteristic equipment, it will change the ability effect of this equipment to a certain extent (this change only takes effect while you are wearing this equipment; after removing it, this equipment will return to its original ability effect).

Hint: The lower your Charisma attribute, the stronger the above characteristics will be.

2. Based on the degree of your negative Charisma attribute, cause a corresponding deterrent effect on the negotiating party, significantly improving the other party's rationality and politeness, etc.

Hint: The lower your Charisma attribute, the stronger this characteristic will be.

Hint: The above are the gains to your own Charisma attribute after using this scroll, not the skill effect of this scroll. The skill effect of this scroll is as follows:

【Basic Passive · Blood Su Xing, Lv. 1.】

Type: Basic · Passive Scroll.

Pre-requirement: Charisma -5 points, or lower.

Skill effect 1: When killing enemies, there is a certain probability to cause a deterrent fear effect on surrounding enemies, and enemies in the fear state around will have their comprehensive defense reduced by 35% and movement speed reduced by 60%.

Skill effect 2: Increase the penetration characteristic of blood-gas system attacks, and based on the level of this skill and the degree of your own negative Charisma attribute, significantly increase the comprehensive attack intensity of blood-gas system abilities.
