White River City, Divine Colosseum:
Ever since the Flower of Seven Sins had targeted Ling Yi, Shiuse Qiangwei and the other upper echelons had remained in the Divine Colosseum, continuously consuming Magic Crystals and Hundred Berry Wine to improve their strength in the Trial Tower and Divine Battlefield.
Breaking the Trial Tower's records again and again had shocked the players of White River City. Their reverence for the Ling YI Society had grown even more.
Meanwhile, inside the Divine Colosseum, a bald man in gray leather armor drank vodka as he stared at the Trial Ranking List.
Suddenly, a skinny young man in a black cloak came to the bald man's side and sat down.
"Piper, what's the situation with Ling Yi's upper echelons?" the thin youth asked softly as he ordered a bottle of Icy-Blue Spirit.
"Their strength has increased rapidly during this period. Currently, three of them have reached the Trial Tower's eighth floor, and seven have reached the seventh floor. It won't be long before the others reach the seventh floor as well. It won't be easy to kill them all back to Level 0," the bald man named Piper said, smiling. The bald man named Pio Jiu smiled and said, "But the stronger they are, the better. That way, we can earn more."
"Indeed. Only, I wonder if OSC is willing to spend this money?" the thin youth nodded.
"I believe so." Piper took out a Magic Crystal and handed it to the bartender. He then purchased a bottle of vodka and said, "Magic Crystals are the lifeline of God's Domain. If OSC obtains the Stoneclaw Mountains, the money they'll earn in the future will be far greater than what we'll earn."
"Hopefully, OSC is willing to spend this money. It's been a long time since I've taken on a big job. Ling Yi's job is not bad. I can use it to practice, "the thin youth said as he gulped down the Icy-Blue Spirit. He then turned to look at the three names on the Trial Tower's eighth floor. "Huh? Why isn't Hei Yan's name there?"
"Hei Yan has always been a mysterious person. Even now, I haven't been able to find out his exact strength. However, based on the information I've collected, he has already reached a relatively high level in the Refinement Realm. He might even be at your standard, "Piper said solemnly as he glanced at the thin youth beside him.
"At my level, Level 2 of Refinement? That's interesting. Now that you mention it, even I want to give it a try. "The skinny youth's eyes were filled with excitement. It was as if it had found a delightful prey.
"You're thinking too much, Subaru. He's already been reserved by Silver. At most, you can choose from the eighth level of the Trial Rankings." Shaking his head, Pixie Nine pointed at Violet Cloud, Fire Dance, and Aqua Rose's names on the Trial List.
"Silver, why is he suddenly interested in this kind of mission?" The skinny young man named Subaru was surprised. "Hasn't his target always been those old monsters?"
"Who knows?" "However, OSC has made a killing this time. Normally, an expert of Silver's caliber wouldn't even bother with a task of this level. Now, it all depends on whether OSC is willing to pay the price."
"This Hei Yan guy is really unlucky. No one in the world can save him now that he's been targeted by Silver. "Subaru said sympathetically.
The Flower of Seven Sins divided the quests into different levels. Similarly, the quests had different levels for experts. An expert like Subaru was only at the intermediate level. Meanwhile, Silver had long since become a top-tier expert in the Flower of Seven Sins. Dealing with Hei Yan was simply a waste of time.
At the same time, the Star Alliance, a first-rate Guild in Star-Moon City, officially declared war on Ling Yi. They were determined to capture Stone Forest Town.
Meanwhile, news of this matter quickly spread throughout the Starmoon Kingdom.
In the Stoneclaw Mountains' outer region:
A 500-man team was currently annihilating a Half-orc encampment.
As a Half-orc encampment, Lord ranked Half-orcs were generally present. Powerful Half-orc encampments might even have three or four Lords. In addition, there might be several or even a dozen Chieftains.
Meanwhile, this Half-orc encampment had three Lord ranked Half-orcs and 17 Chieftains. However, against this 500-man team, these Half-orcs were powerless.
At this moment, most of the Half-orcs had already been annihilated. Only one Level 38 Lord ranked Half-orc remained. However, in the end, it still died at the hands of a female warrior in silver armor.
"Snow, something big has happened over at the Star Alliance," Zhao Yueru, who was dressed in purple robes, suddenly said. "Just now, the Star Alliance declared war on Ling Yi. They've dispatched many elites to deal with Ling Yi."
"In the end, the Star Alliance's Elders have been mesmerized by OSC's wealth," Gentle Snow said, chuckling. "Although I don't know what trump cards the Star Alliance has, this is an opportunity for us to take advantage of. Notify them immediately. Ouroboros is also declaring war on the Star Alliance."
Shortly after, shocking news spread throughout Star-Moon City.
The two first-rate Guilds of Star-Moon City were finally going to take action. This time, unlike the previous skirmishes, this war was for real. In the future, if the members of these two Guilds encountered each other in the fields, it would be a fight to the death. There would be no third option.
While Star-Moon City was in an uproar, Shifeng remained oblivious to the situation.
System: Congratulations! You have completed the quest "Solomon's Treasure". Rewarding 10,000,000 EXP, 20 Free Mastery Points, and one Random Treasure Chest.
After the system notification ended, Shifeng's EXP bar increased by a small chunk. Meanwhile, a wooden treasure chest with a purple glow had appeared in his bag.
[Random Treasure Chest] (Random Treasure Chest) Disappears after five activations. [Random Treasure Chest]
"Isn't this the Disaster Treasure Chest?" Shifeng was speechless as he looked at the dazzling Random Treasure Chest in his bag.
Random Treasure Chests were what the system called them. However, players who were familiar with them preferred to call them Disaster Treasure Chests.
Nine out of ten activations would result in a penalty. Moreover, the penalty was considerably severe. Players would either lose a level or permanently reduce their Attributes. Some would lose EXP for many days, while others would have their Attack Power greatly reduced for many days. Hence, the Disaster Treasure Chest's nickname.
Of course, if players could obtain a reward, they would feel great.
Previously, many people had bragged about their Disaster Treasure Chests on the forums.
Some had actually obtained an Epic item from a Random Treasure Chest. Some had obtained a complete set of Dark-Gold Set Equipment. Some had even obtained a top-tier Mount. Regardless of the reward, it was tempting.
As for the reward and the penalty, it was up to the player to decide.
However, to Shifeng, the benefits of this item outweighed the disadvantages.
The Luck Attribute greatly affected the opening of a Treasure Chest. Even if the Disaster Treasure Chest triggered a penalty, the penalty would be very small. However, compared to the reward, it was still worth it.
Now that the Flower of Seven Sins was likely to take action against Ling Yi, increasing his strength was an urgent matter. Naturally, Shifeng would not give up on this opportunity. Not to mention, his chances of success were much higher than others.
"Hopefully, I'll get something good."
Shifeng activated Divine Providence, his Luck skyrocketing. He then extended his hand and opened the Disaster Treasure Chest.
