Chapter 35 - The Treasure Chest Floor
Just like that, the morning passed in the blink of an eye.
The system once again gave an alert.
“Beep. The Host, Lin Feng, is about to enter the Treasure Chest Floor. There are two Dark Gold Treasure Chests on this floor. The Host needs to defeat the monsters on this floor to open the treasure chests.”
“Beep! There are 10 monsters on the Treasure Chest Floor: four Slimes, two Orcs, and four Brainless Knights.”
“Beep! The Treasure Hunter Quest has been triggered. After defeating all monsters and opening the treasure chests, the Host will receive double rewards.”
“How awesome!”
Without another word, Lin Feng armed himself to the teeth. This time, he even loaded grenades into his ammunition. Since he had never encountered these monsters before and was unsure of their attack power, he decided to bring all of his best weapons, just to be safe.
“Ding-dong! The elevator is descending. Please hold on tight.”
…..
Swiftly, Lin Feng pushed the elevator doors open.
As soon as he stepped out, four skeletons (Brainless Knights) charged at him.
“Damn! A surprise attack right off the bat!”
Lin Feng quickly rolled to the side, while the Little Velociraptor tackled one of the skeletons, pinning it to the ground and began tearing into it.
These skeletons were not purely skeletal. Their brains were still intact, albeit exposed. Lin Feng had no idea how this was possible, but it didn’t stop him from fighting. After a few shots piercing the brains, these monsters finally died.
These must be the so-called Brainless Knights. Orcs and Slimes are relatively easy to distinguish.
At first, Lin Feng was curious about what the Brainless Knight was. Now it was clear – they were indeed brainless.
“Squelch! Squelch!”
….
Following the noise, Lin Feng found that four Slimes had surrounded him, and the two Orcs had also closed in, although they were temporarily held back by the Velociraptor.
Boom!
Since the Slimes did not move quickly, Lin Feng easily created a safe distance and then fired a grenade at them.
The four Slimes instantly exploded into eight.
The squelching noise was quite repugnant.
Lin Feng quickly reloaded his grenade launcher and fired again. This time, the Slimes split into sixteen and their speed increased significantly.
“Damn! They multiply!”
Lin Feng cursed, then noticed the Little Velociraptor was struggling. He quickly fired several shots at the Orc that was preparing to attack the Little Velociraptor.
The original four Slimes had now become sixteen smaller, faster ones.
While Lin Feng was distracted, the Slimes got closer. With no other option, Lin Feng began to fire wildly.
He fired while retreating. After emptying a magazine, the Slimes finally stopped moving.
Now, only one Orc was left.
The Little Velociraptor was very capable in combat, and in just a few moments, it had killed the last Orc.
The Little Velociraptor had taken some hits, but by the looks of its lively behavior, it seemed to be okay.
“Well done, here’s your reward.”
Lin Feng took a piece of smoked mutton from his backpack and tossed it to the Little Velociraptor.
“Roar~~”
After defeating the monsters, two black treasure chests suddenly appeared in the room.
These must be the Dark Gold Treasure Chests.
Lin Feng thought to himself, then went over and opened the Dark Gold Treasure Chests.
The two chests contained: ten gold coins, a piece of chain mail, a health potion with a note that read “Health Potion: Drink to recover from injuries,” and finally, a ring engraved with the word “Luck”.
“Could this possibly be a luck charm?”
Scratching his head, Lin Feng felt it highly likely. At this moment, the system’s voice rang out again.
“Ding! Congratulations, Host, your mission has been completed, and the items found in the treasure chest have been doubled.”
In the next moment, every item reappeared next to the chest in double quantity.
The items from the chest were now twenty gold coins, two Chain Mails, two Health Potions, and two Luck Rings.
Lin Feng first put the two rings on his fingers, then stored the remaining items.
He decided not to wear the Chain Mail for now, he could wear it when he went to the new floor next time.
When he tried to throw the two Dark Gold Treasure Chests into the material dumping area, to his surprise, the area didn’t accept them. They were thrown back out.
If the material dumping area didn’t want them, well… Lin Feng didn’t mind. He casually placed them in a corner, then opened up the Chat Room, preparing to see if anyone wanted to trade with him.
After opening, there were still a pile of private messages. After filtering them all out, Lin Feng checked the Trading Post.
Nobody wanted to trade.
However, the number of followers had increased quite a bit.
It was probably because he came back too quickly. Most people probably hadn’t completed the floor yet.
Then, Lin Feng ate something and continued his training.
……………..
Two hours later, Lin Feng drank some water and looked at the screen again.
“Holy crap, someone actually wants to trade!”
Seeing the red dot on the Trading Post, Lin Feng quickly opened it, and found that the two Antipyretics had been traded away.
The items obtained from the trade had all been extracted.
One hundred kilograms of copper and twenty kilograms of iron.
After stuffing all the items into the material dumping area, Lin Feng hit the upgrade button for the elevator.
After a while, the elevator upgrade was successful. As usual, the elevator’s range had expanded, and the ventilation duct had also been upgraded.
The workbench had also changed, adding a Grinding Machine.
In addition to this, something new was added to the elevator door.
[Triggered Poison Needle Trap: Can be activated once per floor, able to automatically identify friend or foe. When an enemy target passes by, it will automatically fire a poison needle, causing the enemy target to die of poisoning after one second.]
“This thing is awesome.”
Lin Feng looked and decisively clicked to start it. There was also a setting to add to the friendly list, which only needed facial recognition. The facial recognition device was even detachable, very user-friendly.
Lin Feng’s own data was already on it.
But there was no Velociraptor.
“Little Dragon! Come here.”
“Ao?”
Hearing the call, the Little Velociraptor quickly ran over from the edge of the pool, with a fish it hadn’t finished eating still in its mouth.
“Come, face recognition…or rather, dragon face recognition.”
Saying this, Lin Feng lifted the Little Velociraptor, facing its face toward the facial recognition device.
The next moment, the words “Added successfully” appeared on the screen.
“OK! Go play.”
After Lin Feng put down the Little Velociraptor, he didn’t bother with it anymore.
There were probably a few more fish in the pool. It could eat if it wanted to. It would be best if it grew up quickly.
It would be good if it could fight with him. Its combat ability was already so powerful before reaching adulthood. What would it be like when it grew up?
