Ever since most of the Class One Hall members led by Netherworld fell into the abyss and died without a trace, Punishment Mount and Iron Chain Bridge returned to peace.
The people from Class One Hall left dejectedly.
The people from the other organizations who had been watching by the side looked at each other at a loss. Even though Class One Hall left behind the snake tendon and did not take it with them, no one dared to walk on the Iron Chain Bridge, which had injured countless elites.
Even Class One Hall, who had come prepared, had been easily destroyed. Within a short period of time, they could not think of a better plan to fly across Iron Chain Bridge!
As time passed …
The people who stayed at the summit left one after another and went down the mountain.
But there were also a few people who continued to stay where they were.
After all, the emperor's birthday was getting closer, and they did not mind waiting for a little longer. They decided to stay and wait for the people on Punishment Mount to come back on their own.
They also wanted to see just what the mysterious elite who had caused countless elites to die in the mountain ravine and who even Class One Hall could only return in defeat looked like and just who he was!
But …
Unfortunately for them …
In the end, they did not manage to see Happy.
When the emperor's birthday was over, the system notified them that all bounties had been nullified, and all the brocade boxes had been returned to the players, the red dot on Punishment Mount disappeared, but that person did not come down from the summit.
One hour, two hours, half a day passed, but there was still no movement!
The players who waited at the summit could no longer continue waiting quietly. They began to guess whether the person had another way or whether he was too cautious and did not want to take the risk of flying over when he saw that there were people at the summit. Even though the brocade boxes had already been returned to their owners and the possibility of them dropping was very low, there was still a certain degree of risk. It was normal for the person to choose to be cautious.
"We're not fated to meet. Oh well."
The few players were slightly disappointed, and for a period of time, a few more left.
However …
They did not know that Happy had never opened the brocade box.
…
This time, the brocade boxes sent to Beijing were different. Some were open, and some were hidden.
The value of open and hidden were not different, but their meaning was different.
Open were the great gifts the aristocratic sects sent to the imperial court. Even normal players could check and know what was in the brocade box.
But hidden were the gifts the different sects and aristocratic families gave to the Eighth Prince!
In this quest, aside from being robbed by players and bandits, they were even robbed and killed by enemy sects. Almost all of the Open Escort Darts were gone.
Most of the brocade boxes left in the hands of a few players were hidden!
These hidden darts …
Part of it was gold notes, and the other part was jewels that were worth one million taels of silver. As for whether they could get high-tier martial art manuals, miraculous medicinal pills, equipment from famous masters, and other practical treasures that made up half of the total, that would depend on their luck.
Happy remembered that once the emperor's birthday ended, even though every person who obtained a brocade box would become a winner, some of them would only be temporary.
The players who obtained gold notes, jewels, and other treasures might be able to develop rather quickly within a short period of time, but most of their glory was limited to a few months.
But …
Most of the high-tier martial art manuals that appeared were rather rare, and they could increase a person's strength by a large margin. It was the same for spirit pills. The medicinal pills created by famous masters could either increase a person's innate attributes by a small amount or increase their abilities by a large margin for a period of time. The weapons from famous masters were all rare supreme grade items, and their attributes were far from what a normal masterpiece like Green Jade Shrouded in Heavenly Silks could compare to.
A few months later, many people revealed it.
Back then, many people couldn't wait to open the brocade box.
There were only three people who opened the brocade box a few days later, or even half a month later …
These three people!
The item he obtained was the most valuable among all the brocade boxes!
Furthermore!
Those three items were even ranked at the top of the masterpieces ranking board in the future, and it was only a year later that they gradually slid out of the top of the ranking board.
Hence, when he received the notification from the system and learned that he could open the brocade box at any moment to obtain the treasure inside, he felt very conflicted, and even after a long time had passed, he did not open the brocade box!
Open now …
Or should he imitate those three and open it after a while?
Happy could not make up his mind.
After all, right now, he could not be certain whether he would be able to obtain good items just like the trio in his previous life. Besides, once he became enemies with Class One Hall, he could no longer continue keeping a low profile. Hence, he urgently needed to increase his strength so that he could handle the enemies who would appear in an endless stream in the future.
After all!
Right now, he still did not have the strength to fight against a huge organization. His current cultivation could not make up for the disadvantage of numbers, and he did not have the ability to protect himself.
"…"
Happy placed his hand on the brocade box and tapped it intermittently. He scowled, and it looked like he could not make up his mind.
Just like that, he sat there for half a day!
Night fell.
Bright moonlight shone on Happy's body, and it also illuminated the summit across from him. A violent gust of wind surged between the two mountains, and it swayed the five heavy chains. It was noisy, but also calm.
Happy opened his eyes and finally put away the brocade box into his Universe Bag. He stood up from the cliff. His eyebrows were as sharp as swords, and his blue robes fluttered. He seemed to have made some sort of decision. With the full moon hanging high in the sky, he jumped and landed on the Iron Chain Bridge like an immortal.
…
Beijing.
A few hours ago, there was a person covered in a black cloak standing in front of an old blind fortune-teller's stall. He had been taking care of the fortune-teller's business all this while.
The old blind fortune-teller's name was Iron-mouthed Divine Judgement! He was very famous in Beijing. He claimed to be the seventeenth generation successor of Phantom Valley, and all his divinations were accurate.
Through his divinations, he could predict the period of a day when a player would have the greatest amount of luck.
If a player went out to fight monsters or carry out quests during that period of time, their rewards would be higher than at other times!
Besides …
The old blind fortune-teller specialized in helping martial artists avoid danger and solve their problems!
If anyone wanted to know the current location of an enemy or a player who was related to them, they could pay a certain amount of divination fees to obtain that information.
However!
The old blind fortune-teller could only guess the location of a player ten minutes ago based on the divinations, and he could only give a general idea of where the player was. He could not accurately guess the coordinates in the game. Besides, the divination fees to search for a person were usually rather expensive. Each time he did so, he needed more than one thousand taels of silver crumbs.
Even so, Iron-mouthed Divine Judgement was still sought after by many players!
Once they logged in, some players who believed in such things would offer money to the fortune-teller in hopes that they would have the greatest amount of luck or ask about important secrets in the game.
The person shrouded in a black cloak had been there since the afternoon.
Once in a while, he would hand over a piece of silver and a piece of paper to the old blind fortune-teller. Once the old blind fortune-teller received it, he would touch it with his hand and pinch his fingers.
As time passed, almost all the players in Dengfeng City knew that there was a rich person. A player who did not care about money was madly giving money to Iron-mouthed Divine Judgement. No one knew what kind of important information he was asking for.
