Chapter 143 Open the ancient treasure chest and get a lot of rewards!

"Huh? The captain's bag contains ancient silver coins? And intermediate magic crystals!"

Cao Xing was suddenly shocked.

He suppressed his excitement and continued to open the remaining three lieutenant bags.

[Open successfully]

[Obtain: Gold Ancient Coins*8]

[Obtain: Advanced Magic Crystal*11]

[Obtain: Blackened objects*7]

[Obtain: Topaz Fragment (Blue)*3]

[Obtain: Sunstone Fragment (Blue) *1]

[Obtain: Carnelian Fragment (Blue) *3]

[Obtained Book: History of War]

[Obtained book: Discussion on Life]

...

After opening all the bags of burial objects, Cao Xing took a deep breath.

"Too fierce!"

“This wave of harvest is really too much!”

There were so many things that it took him a long time to sort them all.

First, Cao Xing stuffed all the magic crystals and dozens of books into the storage box!
Then the rotten seeds and various debris that had lost their effectiveness were thrown aside.

Then he put all the broken gold nuggets, gold, silver and copper jewelry in a box.

After that, they put the green quality amber pebbles and blue quality stone fragments into their pockets.

After finishing all this, Cao Xing nodded and said, "Now, we can check the properties of these new items."

First of all, of course, are the newly acquired ancient silver and gold coins.

Look at the properties.

[Ancient Silver Coin: An extremely ancient and rare coin that is no longer in circulation on the continent. It has a space magic mark engraved on it.]

(After collecting 100 silver coins, you can exchange them for a mid-level ancient treasure chest, which can reveal mid-level ancient weapons, production drawings, secret medicine formulas, or other extinct items.)
...

[Golden Ancient Coin: An extremely ancient and rare coin that is no longer in circulation on the continent. It has a strong imprint of space magic on it.]

(After collecting 100 gold coins, you can exchange them for a high-level ancient treasure chest, from which you can open high-level ancient weapons, production drawings, secret medicine formulas, or other extinct items.)
...

"Sure enough, just as I guessed, silver ancient coins and gold ancient coins can be exchanged for more advanced treasure chests."

"And the exchange rate is the same, 100 ancient coins for one treasure chest."

Then, Cao Xing checked the dozens of newly acquired green-quality gems.

[Amber Pebble (Green): Can be embedded in weapons to increase attack power by 5 points]

[Garnet Pebble (Green): Can be embedded in weapons, increases spirit by 3 points]

[Malachite Pebble (Green): Can be embedded in weapons to increase strength by 3 points.]

[Turquoise Pebble (Green): Can be embedded in weapons to increase agility by 3 points.]

(Note: Due to system updates, green quality gems require primary forging skills before they can be inlaid in the blacksmith shop.)
...

Four types of green pebbles can be inlaid on weapons to increase their attributes.

Although it doesn't seem like much, it's an additional attribute and is pretty good.

Cao Xing nodded secretly, "These pebbles are quite expensive. One pebbles costs several thousand kronor. If we sell them all, it will be a huge sum of money."

Then he continued to look at the blue gem fragments.

[Topaz Fragment (Blue): Can be embedded in weapons or equipment to increase spirit by 5 points and magic attack by 10 points.]

(Precious topaz fragments, containing clear magical fluctuations, require intermediate forging technology to be inlaid.)
...

[Sunstone Fragment (Blue): Can be embedded in weapons or equipment to increase strength by 5 points and physical attack power by 10 points.]

(A gorgeous gem with a dazzling luster, containing clear power fluctuations, requiring intermediate forging technology to be inlaid.)
...

[Carnelian Fragment (Blue): Can be embedded in weapons or equipment, increasing agility by 5 points and physical attack power by 10 points.]

(A stone as vivid as flesh and blood, requiring intermediate forging skills to be inlaid.)
...

Cao Xing praised: "Not bad, not bad, the blue gemstone has added a lot of properties."

"More importantly, in addition to weapons, you can also embed them on equipment. If you embed them all over your body, the improvement will be incredible!"

He thought happily.

But the only regret is that it requires intermediate forging skills to inlay.

Thinking of this, Cao Xing thought to himself, "It seems that it is urgent to find a blacksmith."

"I don't know if tonight's recruitment will be effective."

The other materials are nothing special.

Most of the debris found here have lost their function due to the erosion of time.

For example, those magical plant seeds and various spools of thread can now only be disposed of as garbage.

Then, Cao Xing looked at the number of ancient brass coins and silver coins in his backpack.

【Brass ancient coin*1226】

【Silver ancient coins*104】

【Golden Ancient Coins*8】

...

"Very good, with so many ancient coins, I can directly exchange them for 12 ancient brass treasure chests and 1 ancient silver treasure chest!"

"This time, I want to open the box to my heart's content!"

Cao Xing was extremely excited, and then he directly clicked on the redemption button.

At the same time, the system prompt appears.

[Do you want to consume 1200 Ancient Brass Coins to exchange for 12 Ancient Brass Treasure Chests? ]

[Do you want to consume 100 silver ancient coins and exchange for 1 ancient silver treasure chest? ]

"Yes!"

As the prompt ends.

The next moment, more than a dozen space magic arrays appeared on the ground in front of Cao Xing.

As energy fluctuations continue to appear.

Cao Xing vaguely saw the outlines of several treasure chests emerging.

"Dang Cang! Dang Cang!"

After a sound of boxes hitting the ground.

The treasure chest that had been sealed in another dimension for who knows how many years reappeared on this day.

Looking at the dozen or so treasure chests in front of him, Cao Xing's face was filled with joy.

[Found 12 ancient bronze treasure chests that were sealed in dust. Do you want to open them? ]

"Yes!"

As Cao Xing clicked OK, a pair of system prompts appeared instantly.

[Open successfully. 】

[Obtain: Deteriorated drinking water*74]

...

A ton of tips!

Three ancient weapons in total, plus four technological blueprints!
Cao Xing was immediately amazed and said, "Damn it, if I had these hot weapons during the novice protection period, wouldn't I be able to kill anyone I saw in seconds?"

He quickly checked the properties of the three newly acquired ancient weapons.

[Ancient Weapon Triple Sniper Rifle (Blue)]

【Excellent quality】

[Attack power: 219~231]

[Attack method: Aim at the enemy and shoot three bullets at the same time, causing damage equal to attack power*3. ]

[Attack interval: 2.5 seconds/time]

[Additional special effect: Energy penetration (when attacking an enemy, there is a 30% chance of penetrating 40% of the enemy's armor)]

[Charging method: 1 primary magic crystal can provide 300 shots of energy]

(A sniper rifle that uses energy ammunition and has good accuracy.)
...

[Ancient Weapon·Auxiliary Pistol (Green)]

[Quality: Excellent]

[Attack power: 124~156]

[Attack interval: 1 seconds/time]

[Additional effect: Headshot (when attacking the head, an additional 30% damage is caused)]

...

[Ancient weapons: hunting compound bow]

[Quality: Excellent]

[Attack power: 157~174]

[Attack interval: 2 seconds/time]

[Additional special effects: Piercing (powerful explosive power and penetrating power, with a 20% chance of directly penetrating the enemy's body, causing 150% damage, and with 3 layers of bleeding effect)]

...

Cao Xing nodded. "Sure enough, what came out of the bronze treasure chest were just ordinary technological weapons, good enough to deal with monsters below level 2."

"Creatures above level 2 have too much health. Before you can fire a few shots, the enemy will be right next to you."

"However, that triple sniper rifle is still pretty good, with high damage. I happen to have a lot of magic crystals, so at least I don't have to worry about the ammunition problem."

Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction.
Then there were the three cold weapons. Cao Xing took a glance and found that their attributes were similar to those of level 10 equipment of the same quality.

He put it directly into his backpack.

Next, there are the four drawings.

I looked at the properties of two of the drawings.

【Light Combat UAV Production Drawings】

[Blueprint Description: You can make a combat drone with low-altitude flight capabilities in the mechanical factory.]

[Armor value: 35]

[Durability: 500] [Attack Power: 75~81]

[Attack speed: 2~4 energy bullets can be fired per second]

[Maximum flight speed: 75 km/h]

[Limited flight altitude: 4000 meters]

[Energy consumption: 2 hours in combat state/1 primary magic crystal, 30 days in low energy state/1 magic crystal]

[Production requirements: Intermediate Machinery Factory, Electronic Components*1, Iron*50, Copper*30, Magic Crystal*1]

...

[Arc Star Bomb Production Drawing]

[Blueprint Description: Create an arc star bomb with explosive and paralysis effects, which will cause heavy damage to the enemy after being thrown]

[Attack power: 785~812]

[Additional special effect: Paralysis (causes 1~3 seconds of paralysis effect on enemies within the range)]

[Production requirements: Intermediate Machinery Factory, Mithril*5, Primary Element Crystal*3, Thunder Stone*1]

...

"Huh? These two drawings are pretty good?"

"If there are enough materials, I can even build them in batches and start a modern war directly!"

Cao Xing was delighted.

Especially that arc star bomb!

It actually has an attack power of nearly 800, and also has an explosive paralysis effect!
If Cao Xing has enough [Arc Star Bombs] in his hand, he can just throw them all out when he encounters the enemy, and he can be drowned!
Cao Xing thought happily.

However, both of these blueprints require an [Intermediate Mechanical Factory].

And Cao Xing hasn't even built the [Primary Machinery Factory] yet.

As for the other drawings, the detection robot and the ordinary drone, Cao Xing took a glance and found that they were just ordinary drawings and were of little use.

Just put it directly into the backpack.

At this point, Cao Xing had basically looked at all the things that were found in the 12 treasure chests.

Then, only the last [Ancient Silver Treasure Chest] was left to be opened.

Cao Xing thought expectantly: "The ancient weapons found in the bronze treasure chest are already very powerful."

"This silver treasure chest should be able to reveal stronger weapons, right?"

"I don't ask for too much. I'll be satisfied if I can get a weapon similar to Barrett's!"

[Do you want to open the ancient silver treasure chest? ]

"Yes."

[Open successfully]

[Obtained: Intermediate Ancient Weapon: Mastiff Shotgun (Purple)]

[Obtain: Shotgun Bullets*30]

[Obtained: Extinct intermediate life secret medicine formula (improved version)]

[Obtain: Medium Resource Pack*2]

[Obtain: Deteriorated drinking water*7]

...

"What the hell! What the hell! A purple ancient weapon, and a recipe for a mid-level life secret medicine!"

Cao Xing originally just wanted a weapon similar to Barrett.

Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected surprise!
You know, what he needs most right now is the formula of this secret elixir of life!
However, the words "extinct improved version" were added before the name of this recipe.

With a nervous mood, Cao Xing checked the properties of these two things.

[Intermediate Ancient Weapon: Mastiff Shotgun (Purple)]

[Quality: Rare]

[Attack power: 145~176]

[Attack method: 8 bullets are ejected instantly]

[Attack interval: 1 seconds/time]

[Additional Effect 1: Impact (When attacking at close range, there is an 80% chance of directly knocking the enemy back 2 to 10 meters)]

[Additional special effect 2: Break the body (When attacking, there is a 30% chance of causing penetration, disability, etc. to the enemy)]

...

"What a powerful shotgun!"

Don’t think that its attack power is much worse than Barrett’s.

But you have to know that a shotgun can fire 8 bullets in an instant!
If all hit one target, the damage caused is much greater than Barrett.

Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction, "This thing is best for close combat."

"In the future, if I encounter another assassin who sees that I'm a mage and wants to kill me at close range, I will just pull out my shotgun and fire a burst of bullets at him!"

"That scene must be very sad!"

Cao Xing burst into laughter.

Then, he checked the properties of the secret life medicine formula.

[Extinct intermediate life secret medicine formula]

[Blueprint Introduction: This blueprint can be used to create an improved version of the Secret Medicine of Life (Medium)]

[Effect: After taking it, it can restore 2000 health points, and the cooling time is 30 seconds]

[Materials required for production: Intermediate Alchemy Workshop, Glass Bottle*1, Ice Luan Petal*1, Spirit Breath Grass*5, Cold Spirit Water*200ml. ]

(The formula was improved by a certain secret medicine master and is now extinct on this continent.)
...

When Cao Xing saw the effect of the medicine on the blueprint, his pupils suddenly shrank!

"Restore 2000 health points in one go, and there's only a 30-second cooldown!"

"This is much stronger than the ordinary life secret medicine (small)!"

"It's worthy of being a formula improved by the master of secret medicine, hahaha!"

Cao Xing was very excited.

And the key point is that he has both the spiritual grass and the cold spiritual water.

All we need to do is find some Ice Luan petals and build an intermediate alchemy workshop.

Cao Xing can now mass-produce this secret life medicine!

However, this potion is obviously a tool used by second-level creatures.

After all, the recovery data is too high, 2000 points directly, which can directly restore the health of the first-level survivor to full.

At this moment, he exhaled heavily.

"Finally, hundreds of relic bags and a dozen treasure chests have been opened!"

"Now, we just need to find a way to find the Ice Luan Flower, and a blueprint for a primary alchemy workshop, plus a blueprint for an intermediate alchemy workshop."

Although Cao Xing does not have these things.

But as a survivor of the Blue Star, he has unique advantages over these indigenous people.

That is the market.

There are tens of thousands of people in the entire 174th District, so there will always be some survivors and some adventures.

Thinking of this, Cao Xing walked straight to the market, opened the trading interface, and entered the [alchemy] keyword.

After a bunch of screening.

Many props related to alchemy appeared in front of Cao Xing.
For example: Books: Introduction to Alchemy, Black Powder Formula, Alchemy Manual, etc.

After searching for a while, he actually found a production drawing of a [Basic Alchemy Workshop].

Cao Xing glanced at the consignor: Zou Qi

Hmm, never heard of the name.

I took a look at what Zou Qi needed.

[Required items: a lot of food, a lot of warm clothes*10, hunter skill book, equipment of green quality or above. ]

"Hunter skill book?"

Cao Xing glanced at his backpack and found that there was indeed a book there.

[Multiple Continuous Shooting Skill Book (Green): Shoot 3 to 5 arrows continuously, each arrow causes 80% damage to the enemy, cooldown time 120 seconds.]

This was what he found in the Ascalon Crypts last time, and it just so happened that there was no one around him who could use it.

So, Cao Xing directly sent a private message.

"I'll trade the Multi-Shot skill book for the blueprint in your hand."

Not long after, Cao Xing received a reply from the other party.

Zou Qi: "Fuck! It's Boss Cao Xing!"

"I didn't expect such a legendary boss would actually want to trade with me!"

The other side seemed very excited.

A moment later, Zou Qi sent a message back: "Sorry, Boss Cao Xing, I'm too excited."

"By the way, you need the blueprint for the primary alchemy workshop, right?"

"Yes." Cao Xing replied directly.

Zou Qi continued, "I haven't learned the skill book of Multiple Continuous Shot yet, so I don't know what its properties are. Can you let me take a look first?"

"can."

Cao Xing was still very direct, and then pasted the attributes of this skill book on it.

After reading it, Zou Qi was immediately surprised and said, "What a powerful skill! Boss Cao Xing, are you sure you want to use such a powerful skill book to exchange for my blueprint?"

He asked somewhat uncertainly.

Cao Xing nodded, "Yes, this skill book is of no use to me."

In comparison, as a green-quality skill book, Multi-Shot is of great value to hunters.

But for Cao Xing, it is of no use.

This kind of transaction is a win-win situation for both parties.

After hearing this, Zou Qi replied: "Okay, then thank you, Master Cao Xing."

After that, the two sides conducted a transaction.

[Transaction successful: You obtained the [Basic Alchemy Workshop Construction Blueprint], and you lost the [Multiple Continuous Shooting Skill Book (Green)].]
Looking at the drawings in the backpack, Cao Xing's face also showed joy.

Quickly checked the properties of this drawing.

[Construction blueprint of primary medicine refining workshop: You can build a workshop in the territory to make various secret medicines. 】

[Armor value: 20 points]

Durability: 1800/1800

【Area: 120 square meters】

[Materials required for construction: wood*80, stone*60, iron*30, copper*20, primary element crystal*10.]

【Construction time: 6:32】

[Required personnel: Alchemist 0/1]

(Note: People with high-level medicine refining skills can greatly improve the efficiency and success rate of medicine refining.)
...

Cao Xing nodded, then clapped his hands and directly clicked on the drawing to study.

At this time, the survivor named Zou Qi sent a message: "Boss Cao Xing, thank you for your skill book."

"But I would like to ask a question."
