Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After obtaining the Mythical Grade treasure chest, Chen Feng left Jingan Temple in a hurry without anyone noticing him.
If the old monks in the temple found out, he would not be able to explain himself.
Chen Feng took out the shared bike that he had hidden earlier in the small forest. He planned to ride the bike and loot all the treasure chests around Jingan Temple.
Of course, he could not remember the location of all the treasure chests.
After all, there were at least ten thousand hidden treasure chests in Shanghai.
However, as long as Chen Feng could remember some of them, there was no reason for him to let them go easily.
Soon enough, Chen Feng looted seven or eight treasure chests. Most of them were Black Iron, Bronze, and Silver Grade treasure chests. There was even one Gold Grade treasure chest.
As an old player who had been reborn, Chen Feng knew where the treasure chests were easily spawned.
Therefore, it was easier for him to find them.
The items that came out of the treasure chest were generally potions, materials, ores, and scrolls. There were also weapons and accessories that could be worn.
These items were of average quality, but they were enough to save one’s life in the early stages of the game.
Chen Feng searched for treasure chests as he rode on his bike. Soon, an hour had passed.
During this period, governments had begun to study the world’s changes.
The news of the “world’s gamification” was also released globally.
Everyone knew that this world had become a large virtual reality game, and what they needed to do was to upgrade and become stronger.
Chen Feng also saw quite a few people looking for treasure chests along the way. It seemed like treasure chests were no longer a secret.
He opened his social media app and saw many people posting pictures to share their talents.
For example, in Chen Feng’s circle of friends, one of his primary school classmates had drawn an A-rank talent, [Automatic Healing], which allowed him to automatically recover his stamina and heal wounds in stages. This caused many people to be envious and jealous of him.
For ordinary people, A-rank talents were already extremely rare, and the probability of drawing it was about…1%.
Only one out of a hundred people could get an A-rank talent.
As for S-class talents, the probability of drawing them was around 0.1%.
Meanwhile, the probability of drawing SS and SSS-rank talents could not be computed, so one could only imagine how rare they were.
After browsing through his social media, Chen Feng put away his phone.
This was his second time experiencing something like this, so he was not that curious.
Furthermore, he did not have enough time, so he needed to get to Chongming Island as soon as possible.
Chen Feng had a younger sister named Chen Yu.
Chen Yu was born with a rare heart disease. According to the doctor, it would not be easy for her to live to the age of twenty.
As Chen Yu grew up, her condition worsened.
Knowing that his sister’s days were numbered, Chen Feng arranged for her to stay at Chongming Island Sanatorium to recuperate.
However, after the world became a game, something unexpected happened—Chongming Island was the first place where the space-time crack appeared in Shanghai!
Chen Yu, who was powerless to escape, was directly swallowed by the monster tide. She lost her life at once.
This was also Chen Feng’s biggest regret over the years.
Since the Heavens had given him a chance to be reborn, Chen Feng would not let the tragedy repeat itself.
No matter what, he had to protect his sister!
Chen Feng rode the bike and finally arrived at Wusong Pier.
He looked at the time. It was 5 pm.
There was still time.
Chongming Island was China’s largest sand island. It was located at the mouth of the Yangtze River at the eastern end of the Yangtze River Delta.
The fastest way for Chen Feng to get to Chongming Island was to take a ferry at Wusong Pier.
“One ticket to Chongming Island.”
“One moment please”
After buying the tickets at the ticket counter, Chen Feng heaved a sigh of relief.
With this ticket, he was relieved.
The thing that Chen Feng was most afraid of was the termination of the operations at the dock.
The chaos caused by the gamification of the world had yet to subside. Thankfully, Wusong Dock belonged to the government, so there was no strike.
If there was no ferry available, Chen Feng would probably have to swim to Chongming Island.
Soon, the sound of a steam whistle came from the distant upper reaches of the Yangtze River.
There were very few people on the boat. Other than Chen Feng, there were only three to five people.
Chen Feng boarded the ferry and found a seat to sit down. As he looked out the window at the surging waters of the river, he was filled with thoughts.
Everything that happened today made Chen Feng feel like he was dreaming.
Be it the eleven SSS-rank talents that he had obtained or the chance to save his sister, all of them had been placed before him.
The sea breeze blew against his face as Chen Feng clenched his fists.
He had to seize this opportunity.
After the ship arrived at Chongming Island, Chen Feng did not immediately head to his sister’s sanatorium.
There was an extremely rare Epic Grade treasure chest not far from Chongming Island’s pier!
After Chen Feng disembarked, he immediately rushed to a nearby strait.
Chen Feng was extremely familiar with this Epic Grade treasure chest.
There was an extremely rare growth-type equipment in this treasure chest, the “Soul Suppressing Tower”.
In his past life, this equipment was extremely famous. It belonged to the leader of one of the four strongest guilds in the world, the Hunter Group.
To be more precise, this leader had become a top-notch powerhouse after picking up the “Soul Suppressing Tower” on Chongming Island.
After Chen Feng arrived at the strait, he soon found the Epic Grade treasure chest.
[Congratulations, player. You have discovered a Mythical Grade treasure chest resource. Do you wish to open it?]
“Unlock it.”
On the empty beach, an orange treasure chest appeared before Chen Feng.
After the treasure chest opened, a small black tower quickly landed in Chen Feng’s hands.
The Soul Suppressing Tower!
Most of the equipment in this world had a fixed grade. The grade of the item that came out of the treasure chest would always be the same.
However, the Soul Suppressing Tower was different. Its grade could continuously increase along with the increase in the player’s level.
Although it was green now, it could turn blue, purple, or even transform into the quality characteristic of the Epic and Mythical Grades in the future!
The moment he picked up the Soul Suppressing Tower.
All the information about this equipment appeared in Chen Feng’s mind.
The Soul Suppressing Tower had four skills:
[Skill 1, Internal Heaven and Earth. The Soul Suppressing Tower is divided into three levels. Each level contains mystical power. As the tower’s grade improves, it can accommodate living creatures, non-living things, or the user himself.]
[Skill 2: Refine All Living Things. The Soul Suppressing Tower can bind and suppress monsters, and refine them into EXP.]
[Skill 3, Spacetime Distortion. Time Distortion, the flow of time inside the tower is different from outside the tower. Currently, the flow of time inside and outside the tower is temporarily in a 10:1 ratio. Distortion space, through space transition, the tower creates memory points and teleportation portals to help the player achieve rapid movement across maps.]
[Skill 4: Iron Lock Soul Subduing Tower. The Soul Suppressing Tower can enslave the soul of the defeated opponent and break down their psychological defense. This allows them to be controlled by the player for a certain period of time. They will also be made to speak the truth.]
After seeing these four skills, Chen Feng could not help but suck in a cold breath.
The Soul Suppressing Tower had terrifying skills indeed.
It was no wonder that the leader of the Hunter Group could upgrade himself to such a terrifying level in just a few years.
Just the skills of [Refine All Living Things] and [Spacetime Distortion] could help a player increase their strength rapidly.
After getting the equipment, Chen Feng rushed to Chongming Island Sanatorium.
When the sky darkened.
Chen Feng finally arrived at the sanatorium.
It was now 1932 hours.
Chen Feng knew that after midnight, space-time cracks would appear near Chongming Island.
He still had… four and a half hours.
He had to level up!
