Free Web NovelChapter 313: Chapter 249: Starry Sky Big Shot, One Hundred Million Gold Coins
Wang Yi stared at the strange Bronze Statue and said, "And which Starry Sky God might you be?"
"Eh? How did you know I was a Starry Sky God?"
"A lucky guess."
Wang Yi clasped his hands behind his back and circled the Bronze Statue, examining it. His Eye of Insight only told him that the statue was a Bright King Guard, but it couldn’t reveal any more useful information.
"A guess? You’re an interesting little Player. Let me see your profile... Yang Jian? Chaos Lord? True Monarch Qingyuan Miaodao? Three-eyed Divine General? Eight-Nine Profound Skill... Why is your information so strange? You’re a Chaos Lord, right? Is this fake info you edited yourself?"
"What do you think?"
"Haha, little Player, I don’t have time to chat. I’m a big shot from the Starry Sky. It’s your lucky day for running into me. I can give you One Hundred Million Gold Coins, three Celestial God Level Combat Puppets, and an Ascension Trial Scroll to help you develop quickly!"
"We’re complete strangers. Why would you give me anything?"
"Don’t worry about the reason for now. Just tell me if you want them or not."
"Nope! See ya!"
Wang Yi waved a dismissive hand and went back to inspecting the ship’s cabin on his own. The cabin was almost the size of a soccer field and completely empty. It didn’t seem to hold any treasures.
The Bronze Statue followed Wang Yi, its voice grave. "This isn’t right. This level of support... how can you refuse?"
"Tch. I, the Lord, am not impressed by such a meager offer."
"You’ve got some nerve. I’m a big shot from the Starry Sky. Be my underling, and I’ll help you soar. What’s not to like?"
"Then introduce yourself first. Let’s see what kind of ’big shot from the Starry Sky’ you really are."
"Listen up, kid!" The Bronze Statue paused for a moment before continuing in its deep voice, "My name is Zhang Xuyi. I am the Lord of the Star Sea Royal Court, under the rule of the Mingyu Divine Country. I am a Great Lord ranked 1,645th in the Fourth Dimension. I control the Mystic domain, specializing in Cultivation. I command one hundred thousand Golden Cores, three hundred Nascent Souls, and one Divinity Transformation War General. Now tell me, are you scared or not?"
’Ranked 1,645th in the Fourth Dimension? Commands one hundred thousand Golden Cores? Three hundred Nascent Souls? And one at the Divinity Transformation stage?’
Wang Yi mentally noted down the information. Zhang Xuyi’s words contained a significant amount of intel. On the surface, however, he remained impassive and said, "Is that all? Like I’d be scared of that!"
"You kid, so stubborn. If it weren’t for... Forget it. I have limited time, no more to waste bullshitting with you. I’ll transmit the items over. Take them or leave them!"
"Wait!" Wang Yi said quickly. "Do you have any Chaos Blind Boxes? Send some of those over too!"
"No!"
Cracks suddenly appeared on the Bronze Statue. Its body began to rapidly crumble, and after a few breaths, it was nothing but a pile of debris. However, an item materialized out of thin air next to it.
It was a Bronze Bracelet.
Wang Yi picked it up and inspected it. The bracelet was identical to the one he had obtained from the Great Secret Treasure in the Ancient Barbarian Country. It was a Storage Item with 300 Storage Compartments.
The only difference was that five of this Bronze Bracelet’s Storage Compartments were occupied. Inside were One Hundred Million Gold Coins, three Giant Ape Puppets, and one [Ascension Trial Scroll].
[Giant Ape Puppet: Automatically undergoes Refinement. Once activated, it will only recognize one master. Possesses Celestial God Level combat power. Slowly recovers Spiritual Power outside of combat!]
[Ascension Trial Scroll: Special Item. Consumable. After a Chaos Lord uses it, the Ascension Trial will begin immediately. The user can then proactively challenge the Void Invasion. The trial is completed after passing the ninth Void Invasion, allowing the territory to ascend.]
’Hot damn, he just left it here. It would be a waste not to take it! This counts as me finding it, not accepting his support!’
Wang Yi was overjoyed!
One Hundred Million Gold Coins was undoubtedly a huge sum. ƒreewebɳovel.com
The three Celestial God Level Combat Puppets were not bad either.
The Ascension Trial Scroll, however, was intriguing.
’Zhang Xuyi... what is he plotting?’
Wang Yi didn’t believe for a second that Zhang Xuyi simply wanted to support him. He definitely had some other goal, and it was highly likely related to Li Longyu.
’I’ll worry about it later. As long as I’m strong enough, I won’t have to fear any demons or monsters. I’ll just cross that bridge when I come to it.’
Wang Yi placed the second Bronze Bracelet into his Starlight Bracelet.
He continued to study the Bronze Ship and soon found something that looked like a control console.
There, the [Bronze Ship Control Core] was shining brilliantly. After a brief study, Wang Yi placed the [Bronze Ship Control Core] into a circular indentation in the center of the console.
The next moment, the entire Bronze Ship shuddered. The strange vessel had actually activated. A virtual screen appeared in front of the console, on which he could check the Bronze Ship’s various statuses and operate the vessel.
DING! You have activated the Bronze Ship!
DING! Bronze Ship functions are 30% activated. Only basic flight capabilities are currently available.
DING! Only the owner of the Bronze Ship can activate 100% of its functions. Please explore on your own for details.
DING! Activating the Bronze Ship has triggered a special story quest: Return the Bronze Ship to its owner to receive the [Technology Scroll: Bronze Aerospace].
’Oh? A quest triggered, too. This one should be easy to complete. I’ll just fly it back to Huaguo Mountain and hand it over to Li Longyu, and that should do it!’
Wang Yi mused that his gains this time were truly excellent.
After exploring the Bronze Ship a bit more and confirming there were no other rewards to be found, Wang Yi went to summon the All-Purpose Driver, Frank, as well as Athena and Hatos.
A few moments later, under Frank’s control, the Bronze Ship slowly ascended into the sky and then began to fly toward Huaguo Mountain.
Now inside the Bronze Ship, Wang Yi prepared to depart.
Of course, there was still a great deal to be done back at the Ancient Barbarian Royal Court. Just collecting the spoils of war from the Imperial Palace alone would require a significant amount of manpower and time.
