The proud lion's face was flushed red, its eyes bruised.
It lay unconscious.
Its tail no longer twitched.
Even its companion, sprawled beside it,
had been beaten unconscious.
Chen Yu looked at the two stunned lions, flexing his wrists.
They had forced him to act.
How could these outer beasts withstand a single punch from him?
Thump, thump, thump.
Taking out some stone, Chen Yu hammered three more wooden stakes.
Kuka's mage robe was torn to shreds.
Two wooden stakes bound one lion.
Seeing the lions tied to the same stakes that had once bound him, Kuka couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.
This was a good omen.
He decided to show his worth.
"Boss, these two lions will be trouble when they wake up."
"Almost forgot about you." Chen Yu tilted his head, picked up a piece of wood, and hammered it with a stone.
Kuka was re-tied to the stake.
"Boss—"
"You're the one causing trouble, why are you so full of nonsense?"
Chen Yu raised his hand and smacked Kuka's head.
Not wanting to hear Kuka's voice, Chen Yu shoved a piece of burlap into his mouth.
He turned away with a flourish.
Leaving Kuka staring with wide eyes.
Boss!
Spare me!
Hey, you can tie me up.
But please, don't tie me next to these lions, alright?
What will I do when they wake up?
They could bite me to death.
And if I can't protect my backside, what then!
No, at least give me some pants, okay? This wind is making me uncomfortable. Did you remember tearing my clothes just now?
Hey!
Boss!!!
Chen Yu couldn't be bothered.
His backside unprotected?
Serves him right!
He's useless, only good for causing trouble.
Truly remarkable.
If not for Chen Yu's exceptional skills.
He—
The consequences would have been unthinkable.
It wouldn't just be Kuka's backside at risk then.
The camp was recalled.
This camp was truly miraculous, it could even recall living creatures within it, feeling like a small world.
Chen Yu and Hei Dou explored another cave.
Silver Treasure Chest +1.
With his exploration attempts exhausted, Chen Yu redeployed the camp.
The treasure chests were retrieved.
1 Copper, 4 Silver, 1 Gold.
Chen Yu took out two silver treasure chests.
He reached for his belt buckle.
"Boss."
Hei Dou, lying on the treasure chests, said to Chen Yu in a low voice.
"Why do you have to take off your pants?"
"How else do you remove the set attribute?" Chen Yu replied with a look of speechlessness, wondering how Hei Dou could ask such a foolish question.
"Then why not take off your clothes?"
"Too troublesome."
"What about the wristbands? Don't those just pull off?" Hei Dou (¬_¬)ﾉ looked at Chen Yu. "Why do you insist on taking off your pants? Is it for ventilation?"
Chen Yu: "(￣ー￣)"
Thump, thump, thump.
A wooden stake was hammered down.
Chen Yu clapped his hands, looked at the wooden stakes in the small courtyard to his left, flexed his wrists, and turned to leave.
Kuka: "Second Brother, why are you here too?"
Hei Dou: "..."
Hei Dou: "(〝▼皿▼)"
Kuka: "..."
...
With Hei Dou also tied to a stake, Chen Yu's world became significantly quieter.
Looking at the treasure chests placed before him.
Chen Yu instinctively reached for his pants, but recalling Hei Dou's gaze, he silently retracted his hand and pulled off his wristbands.
The set attribute was removed.
Both treasure chests were silver.
They were of the same level.
The resources placed inside should have roughly similar value. By comparing the opened resources, it should be possible to confirm whether luck affects the value of items in treasure chests.
If opening chests is also affected by luck, then the luck attribute would truly be invincible.
Most importantly...
Chen Yu still had the gold chest and one of the silver chests contained food.
If luck influenced opening chests.
He, wouldn't he soar directly to the heavens?
Rubbing his hands.
Chen Yu proceeded to open the treasure chests. kanδん
[Cave Reminder: Silver Ore +4]
[Cave Reminder: Silver Ore +7]
[Cave Reminder: Soft Toilet Paper +2]
[Cave Reminder: Fire Elemental Crystal Shard +1]
...
The resources were not bad.
Chen Yu nodded slightly, it was indeed worthy of a silver treasure chest's value.
However, the main point was not here.
It was about what he could obtain when he put on the Adventure Wristbands and activated the set attribute for 10 luck points, and then opened the chests.
"Hoo..."
Rubbing his hands, Chen Yu reached out and opened the treasure chest.
[Cave Reminder: Silver Ore +6]
Oh?!
This is getting interesting.
Although it didn't decompose into 12 units of silver ore, the quantity had increased.
It was understandable.
The 3x multiplier Kuka mentioned was just a figure of speech; its specifics were difficult to explain. Just like Chen Yu's critical hits, the multiplier for greedy critical hits was always at its peak.
But it didn't directly yield over 100x.
Luck, it seemed, affected probability.
The treasure chest decomposing to give an additional 2 units of silver ore filled Chen Yu with anticipation for what was to come.
He craned his neck to look into the treasure chest.
There was a blueprint.
And elemental shards.
[Cave Reminder: Silver Ore +20]
The quantity was roughly 3 times the silver ore from the previous silver treasure chest.
Chen Yu reached further inside.
[Cave Reminder: Earth Elemental Shard +3]
Hiss!
3 elemental shards.
This...
Chen Yu then retrieved the blueprint.
[Cave Reminder: Masterwork Water Condenser Crafting Blueprint +1]
No way?!
A Water Condenser blueprint!!!
Chen Yu estimated that for such a rare blueprint, a resource-generating blueprint like this would have a very low drop rate, and he had managed to obtain it from a silver treasure chest again.
His luck was truly incredible.
The most outrageous part was that this blueprint had a prefix.
Masterwork grade.
This meant that the lowest quality condenser he could craft would be a Masterwork Water Condenser.
Luck, invincible!
The comparison between the two treasure chests was already very clear.
With the 10 luck points provided by the three-piece adventure set, the value of the items obtained from opening the chests was not just 3 times that of the previous treasure chest, but likely more than 5 times.
If nothing else, Chen Yu felt that the Water Condenser crafting blueprint alone was worth the entire previous treasure chest.
(´థ౪థ)
He was so excited!
Chen Yu was on the verge of tears from excitement.
He quickly grabbed the gold and silver chests containing food.
He pulled the silver treasure chest towards him.
It shimmered slightly.
With a rich aroma of food.
It smelled like bread.
And ham.
He pulled off his wristbands and sniffed again, but there was no change. kΑnshu伍.ξà
He put them on and opened it!
[Cave Reminder: Silver Ore +6]
[Cave Reminder: Black Bread +15]
[Cave Reminder: White Bread +15]
[Cave Reminder: Ham +15]
[Cave Reminder: Bottled Water 550ml +10]
This...
Such a large amount of food from a single silver treasure chest.
Companion?!
Was it really this amazing?
[Ding: Glutton's Greed triggered, Greed Critical Hit 50x]
[Greed Critical Hit: Black Bread +750]
[Greed Critical Hit: White Bread +750]
[Greed Critical Hit: Ham +750]
[Greed Critical Hit: Bottled Water 550g +500]
Gulp.
With a rumble,
the courtyard was covered in black bread, white bread, ham, and scattered bottles of water.
Too much.
There was so much food the warehouses wouldn't be able to hold it all!
The luck attribute, combined with his greed critical hits.
This was practically cheating, wasn't it?
Even Chen Yu, who had seen many great sights, was dumbfounded by this scene.
He stared intently at all this food.
From the pile of bread, he pulled out the gold treasure chest and resolutely opened it.
Chen Yu's eyes widened as he looked at the chest, stunned.
"What...what is this!"
