Chapter 93: Heavenly Man’s War
After sleeping, he woke up to two gold treasure chests.
Luo Ji expressed his bewilderment.
Furthermore…
“Damn it!”
“The first victory for a novice player is a double reward?”
“Why didn’t Gao Su tell me?!”
He decisively sent a message to question him.
After a long while, Gao Su replied with one word.
“Forgot.”
Then, he immediately sent another message.
“Considering the time in the alternate world, don’t you think about how many years it’s been since I left the novice phase? It’s good enough that I can even remember roughly. More importantly, did you win?”
“I won. I’m debating whether to open the treasure chests. By the way, is there a guaranteed reward if I save ten and open them all at once?”
“…You’re overthinking it.”
“Alright, I’ll agonize over it myself for a bit.”
Gao Su did not ask what level of treasure chest Luo Ji received, and Luo Ji did not say.
In Gao Su’s view, Luo Ji’s defensive strategy could effectively reduce his own combat losses.
Although it could significantly increase the win rate among unranked novices, it also had obvious disadvantages, such as having relatively meager offensive methods in the early stages.
Simply put, he could not achieve impressive combat records. Even if he won, it would be difficult to get a high evaluation in the final system judgment.
Gao Su estimated that if Luo Ji’s first battle earned him an iron treasure chest, that would be good.
If his luck was even better, he might even get a silver treasure chest, but a gold treasure chest was impossible.
That required achieving a crushing victory, which was difficult for a defensive playstyle in the early stages.
However, the reality was that Luo Ji, now wide awake, was staring blankly at the two gold treasure chests in his item inventory.
This item inventory seemed to only appear after leaving the novice protection period.
Luo Ji had tried before, but the inventory seemed to only accept special items from treasure chests, making it impossible to store ordinary ones.
Incidentally, after the novice protection period ended, his system page changed quite a bit.
Four additional options, ‘Inventory,’ ‘Social,’ ‘Map,’ and ‘Auction House,’ now appeared alongside the initial attribute and friend lists.
There was no need to explain inventory, map, and auction house.
Clicking on ‘Social’ immediately brought a strong online game vibe.
Messages in the public chat channel were being frantically refreshed by a large number of players.
[Public Channel: Liu Ye (Player): ‘Conquer the World’ Guild is recruiting! A silver-tier veteran personally oversees! We’ll help you show off and soar. Minimum requirement for joining is bronze tier. Limited spots, first come, first served!]
[Public Channel: Zhao Deyu (Player): Wang Kang! I bought a watch last year, super durable! Aren’t you quite arrogant? Dare not to use a truce token!]
[Public Channel: Wang Kang (Player): Get lost, you bastard! Zhao Deyu, you little scoundrel! And Zhu Lingling, that bitch! Adulterer and adulteress, ganging up to trick me, right? I’ve got you two marked! Just you wait!]
[Public Channel: Liu Chuang (Player): Bro upstairs, tell us your story]
[Public Channel: Zhang Yisheng (Player): Selling melon seeds, peanuts, and soda in the front row…]
[Public Channel: Guan Zhong (Player): Newbie trembling in fear, seeking a guild]
[Public Channel: Zhong Mo (Player): High price buying ‘Elixir of Immortality.’ DM me if you have one. Only buying one. Brothers with stock, hurry up]
[Public Channel: Zhang Lin (Player): I’m a black iron tier player with a 71% win rate. Looking for a guild alliance. DM me if interested. If you’re too weak, then don’t bother, it’ll just be a waste of time]
After casually flipping through a few pages, Luo Ji decisively closed the public channel chat page.
As expected, no matter how amazing the game, players in the public channel were all the same.
Getting back to the point, Luo Ji was deeply conflicted about whether to open those two gold treasure chests.
Logically speaking, for gold treasure chests, the chance of getting a gold-tier item was already quite high.
At worst, he could get a silver-tier item.
As a newcomer, he lacked everything, so he probably could find a use for whatever he opened.
Therefore, opening them early to get the equipment and items inside should be beneficial to him.
But the problem was, Luo Ji understood his own luck.
A while ago, the Barbarian Bear Tribe was unexpectedly scared away by the hyena pack, temporarily helping him avoid the risk of fighting this large tribe.
And just now, he had truly laid down and won his first invasion battle, and it was a complete annihilation victory, waking up to two gold treasure chests.
This clearly meant his luck was back!
However, this also made him a little nervous.
What if, after getting these two gold treasure chests, he was just about to enter a period of bad luck?
It was not easy to earn two gold treasure chests, and only gold treasure chests could open up world shards!
Which player, upon opening a gold treasure chest, would not be consumed by the thought of immediately reaching the pinnacle of success with the most enticing special item?
Of course, they would!
It was precisely this unpredictable luck that plunged Luo Ji into deep indecision.
Two conflicting thoughts seemed to be locked in a profound internal struggle.
The “reckless personality” directly declared.
“What’s there to be cowardly about!”
“Open it, and hit the jackpot instantly!”
“From now on, you’ll reach the pinnacle of life!”
The “steady personality” decisively pushed up its imaginary glasses.
“Don’t be reckless. Hold your breath. The previous win was too bizarre. Let’s lay low for a while, settle down, accumulate some good luck, and then open it. This is your usual style.”
“Settle my ass!”
The reckless personality swiftly made a middle finger gesture.
“If you settle any more, you’ll sink into the Bermuda Triangle! You’re a European Emperor! Think of how many ‘African’ unlucky players you’ve left in the dust with your European Emperor achievements! Trust your bloodline!”
“Don’t listen to that reckless guy! Being reckless never leads to anything good, you’ll just get yourself killed!”
The steady personality decisively retorted.
“Tsk! Then let’s follow your logic. Maybe your luck value has just reached its peak? Open it immediately now, the chance of a one-shot into the soul is higher!”
“You!”
“What? Can you refute that? According to our long-term wave-like luck fluctuations, we should have just been in an upward trend, not yet time to decline!”
The reckless personality seized the opportunity, delivering a combination of punches that decisively KO’d the steady personality.
Luo Ji’s fingertip was already on the gold treasure chest icon.
[System Notification: Do you want to open the gold treasure chest?]
“O-open it!”
As these two words were spoken, a magnificent gold treasure chest immediately appeared before Luo Ji’s eyes.
Without needing him to do much, the gorgeous gold treasure chest already opened a crack.
Perhaps it was an opening effect, but from that crack, large patches of dazzling golden light, enough to blind him, continuously spilled out, making Luo Ji’s heart race.
“Holy crap!”
“So shiny!”
“This definitely dropped something good!”
