Free Web NovelChapter 338: Chapter 261: The Second Ancestral Property
The two small mountains he had refined were nothing particularly special. One was covered in crystal grapevines, while the other was home to a great number of golden pear trees.
Crystal grapes had the special effect of improving eyesight, and golden pears helped enhance memory.
Wang Yi had refined these two small mountains entirely for their crystal grapes and golden pears. Placing them in his territory served to enrich its variety of fruit.
On this day, Eggshell City was particularly lively. The second expedition into the World of Suffering had concluded, and all the Explorers had returned. The Atlantis Ark was now hovering in the sky above Eggshell Square.
When Wang Yi arrived at Eggshell Square, it was a veritable sea of people. Throngs of Kunlun Slaves were carrying supplies down from the Atlantis Ark.
’It’s been a while since I’ve opened any blind boxes. The exploration team should have brought back quite a few...’
Wang Yi was filled with anticipation, but he first went to check on the status of Xiang Yun and the others.
During this expedition, the group had spent a full ten years in the World of Suffering. They had suffered some troop losses—five militiamen and two Boykas—but had also managed to recruit three thousand Refugees.
Of course, the main combatants were all safe and sound. Xiang Yun had risen to LV80, receiving a massive boost to his combat power. Backed by the Fourfold Magic Energy, the skill points he’d gained were equivalent to what an ordinary Demon Gun Knight would get by reaching level 320!
Zhao Mei had risen to LV55, reaching the late-stage of Core Formation!
Little Alchemist Watermelon had reached LV110, his Cultivation Realm having since surpassed the others. He was now a Nascent Soul Cultivator. In terms of Cultivation Level, he was arguably the foremost cultivator in the entire Ti Feng World!
Black Beans had grown into a young man with sharp brows, bright eyes, and a resolute expression. His skill at piloting Prototype No. 1 had reached a state of perfect unity between man and machine.
Qin Mo had achieved initial mastery of his Alchemist Qi Cultivation Skill and had undergone Rejuvenation, reverting to the appearance of a young man. His gaze was sharp, and he had successfully refined five Sword Pills! freewebnøvel.coɱ
Pei Zhi’s Cultivation of the Tongyou Spell had reached the 5th Floor, one level higher than even Yang Wanli. He could summon 32 Wraith Soldiers at once, and could also summon the Tower of the Dead Soul and the Bone Cage! freēwēbnovel.com
The power of Zhang Lengzi, Yang Qingniu, Hu Fenqiu, and Zhang Mazha had also increased tremendously.
And among the 3,333 Celestial Eagle Warriors, three had already grown to become High-level Kings.
Athena showed no visible changes, but among the Boykas under her command in the Fighting God Camp, just under half had grown and been promoted.
In short, the expeditionary team’s strength had increased enormously compared to when they first set out.
’Ten years of Cultivation, and this is the result. I’d say their growth potential is just average!’
Wang Yi wasn’t surprised by the group’s increase in power. After a brief chat with Zhao Mei and the others, he cheerfully began to take inventory of the various supplies.
The gains from this expedition were enormous.
First, there were the Sky Ships: three B-rank and one A-rank. The A-rank vessel was capable of housing 5,000 residents.
In terms of military supplies, they had captured 8 Grizzly Tanks, 3 Rhino Tanks, 100 armored all-terrain vehicles, a large quantity of firearms, countless rounds of ammunition, and 50 fuel vouchers.
There were also tens of thousands of tons of grain, ten Recruitment Scrolls, ten fertile land vouchers, 43 Chaos Eggs, 16 Green Blind Boxes, 5 Blue Blind Boxes, 3 Purple Blind Boxes, and 2 Golden Blind Boxes!
In addition, the Atlantis Ark also carried various metal materials, high-quality timber, spices, and leather.
’This haul is passable. We’ll hold a banquet at the First Dining Hall tonight to welcome everyone back...’
Though inwardly joyful, Wang Yi instructed the others to continue taking inventory and moving the supplies. He gleefully pocketed the 43 Chaos Eggs and the 26 Chaos Blind Boxes—16 Green, 5 Blue, 3 Purple, and 2 Golden.
Wang Yi quickly inspected the 43 Chaos Eggs, then hatched 25 of them.
Of these 25 Hatchers, 19 were fairly ordinary—usable talent. The remaining 6 were of higher quality, including two Waiter Kangaroos, one mining kangaroo, the Blind Monk Master Huatian with his exquisite medical skills, the Alchemy-proficient Daoist Qingxuan, and a fanatical believer named Yadod.
In Wang Yi’s view, this batch of Hatchers could be handed over to the Eco-Castle for management, either assigned to production or the military. None of them, however, were exceptional talents worthy of his personal attention and nurturing.
After hatching the Chaos Eggs, it was time to open the blind boxes. Wang Yi made a special trip to the Wukong Dojo, the quietest place available, to savor the moment in solitude.
He had a habit of opening blind boxes in order from lowest to highest quality. He started with the 16 Green Blind Boxes, obtaining an Enhanced +4 [Sunglasses], an Enhanced +5 [Dinosaur Mascot Costume], an Enhanced +6 [Lord Experience Book], an Enhanced +5 [watermelon knife], and so on.
These items were all pretty good. The one that satisfied Wang Yi the most was the Enhanced +9 [Camper Model]. This model, having been enhanced 9 times, had mutated into a [Base Vehicle].
A Base Vehicle, as the name implied, could unfold into a base!
This vehicle was 30 meters long, 12 meters wide, and 8 meters high. It had powerful off-road capabilities and could unfold into a small base covering 1,000 square meters.
The small base could serve as a destination for Town Recall Scrolls.
The Base Vehicle also came with its own storage space and troop transport capabilities.
Wang Yi took the Base Vehicle for a test drive; piloting such a massive machine was quite a thrill.
The Base Vehicle also had a drawback: it consumed a lot of fuel. But for Wang Yi, who possessed nearly 6 tons of Earth Fire Essence, this drawback was practically nonexistent.
’A Base Vehicle isn’t bad at all. I can turn it into a capsule to carry with me in the future. When I’m out exploring and need to rally my forces, I can just deploy the Base Vehicle and use Town Recall Scrolls to bring troops over quickly...’
Wang Yi thought silently for a moment.
He then opened the Blue Blind Boxes and Purple Blind Boxes, getting an Enhanced +6 [wooden comb], an Enhanced +6 [Mountain-Opening Axe], an Enhanced +4 [Mountain Bike], and so on.
A total of eight items, all considered good things. Among them, the Enhanced +6 [Mountain-Opening Axe] was 36 meters long and weighed 75 tons. Wang Yi couldn’t lift it and planned to toss it onto Huaguo Mountain as a decoration or a ground ornament.
Wang Yi felt that this round of opening blind boxes had decent returns, but he hadn’t gotten anything particularly stunning. He looked at the last two Golden Blind Boxes and muttered, "There are still two Golden Blind Boxes left. It’s time for something good to drop!"
After cupping his hands and bowing nine times to one of the Golden Blind Boxes, Wang Yi opened it, revealing eight options.
====
One: Essence-Increasing Pill (Golden, Enhanced +1)
Two: Construction Drawings for Shanhai Pass (Golden, Enhanced +2)
Three: Construction Drawings for the Prophet Altar (Golden, Enhanced +3)
Four: Reclassification Certificate for Thunder Mage (Golden, Enhanced +4)
Five: Fire Knight Medal (Golden, Enhanced +5)
Six: Black Shoe Polish (Golden, Enhanced +6)
Seven: Ancestral Inheritance (Golden, Enhanced +7)
Eight: Face Wash (Golden, Enhanced +8)
====
’The Construction Drawings for Shanhai Pass again, but it’s a shame they’re only Enhanced +2. The drawings for the Prophet Altar should be good too... Ah, forget it. I’ll just pick the Enhanced +7 Ancestral Inheritance!’
After Wang Yi made his choice, a system prompt immediately sounded in his mind.
"Ding! Congratulations, you have received an Ancestral Inheritance!"
"Ding! This Ancestral Inheritance is a small winery, equipped with five winery workers, and can brew the exclusive liquors [Furong Brew], [Drunken Immortal Elder], and [Fire Dragon Fish]."
"Ding! The Ancestral Inheritance small winery is enhanced into a Bronze Winery, equipped with an ancestral Brewer, and can produce ancestral aged liquor. The [Furong Brew], [Drunken Immortal Elder], and [Fire Dragon Fish] are all 5000-year-aged vintages!"
"Ding! This Ancestral Inheritance has automatically appeared in your territory. Please check it for yourself."
Wang Yi gave a knowing smile.
’Just as I expected,’ he thought.
An Ancestral Inheritance, after being enhanced, would inevitably reach the Bronze Age.
’A 5,000-year-old vintage! Holy hell, are we brewing or doing archaeology here? Can you even drink something that’s 5,000 years old? Ah, whatever. The Ancestral Inheritance is just for making money. I’m not expecting it to produce any truly amazing liquor!’
Wang Yi briefly processed his gains, then opened the final Golden Blind Box.
「Meanwhile, in the Valon World.」
On a desert oasis buried beneath yellow sands, the Dogman God, Ji Liangren, was completely surrounded by a large number of Players. Yet he only threw his head back and laughed maniacally, declaring, "My mission is complete! Now, come! Either be destroyed by me, or destroy me!"
