15: Accessory equipment, Brutal Military Medal

Facing Qin Yang's accusations, the Lan Sisters both felt a bit wronged.

They had used the combo of the Alluring Bomb and the Giant Stone Puppet scroll multiple times, so who knew the scroll would malfunction this time?

But despite the grievance, Lan Ruotong's heart was also filled with immense relief.

If Qin Yang hadn't covered for them, they would have truly died in the Secret Realm this time!

Thinking of this, Lan Ruotong bowed deeply to Qin Yang.

"Young Master Qin, I'm truly sorry!"

"I will refund your ticket and compensate you for the special grade potions!"

"Additionally, I must thank you for saving our lives!"

"If there's ever anything you need our sisters for in the future, just say the word!"

While Lan Ruotong was apologizing profusely, Lan Ruoxin walked over, helped her sister up, and looked at Qin Yang, saying, "This isn't our fault... it was the scroll that had a problem... the one your family bought..."

"The scroll had a problem? The one my family bought?"

Qin Yang looked at Lan Ruotong in confusion.

Lan Ruotong cautiously explained, "Young Master Qin, it's like this... our scroll was purchased from Dragon Pavilion Xuanbao, and the summoned Giant Stone Puppet should have lasted for 5 minutes, but this time it failed in less than 1 minute, which is why we almost crashed..."

"Dragon Pavilion Xuanbao?"

Qin Yang's brows furrowed.

Dragon Pavilion Xuanbao is the largest Professionals trading center in Hongwu City, selling all goods related to Professionals, and it is also an industry under the Qin Family.

If Lan Ruotong wasn't lying, then didn't that mean... there was a quality issue with a product from his family's trading center?

Qin Yang's brows furrowed.

He couldn't ignore this matter.

"Let's get to the bottom of it after we get out."

After noting the matter, Qin Yang began to check his gains.

【Treasure Chest opened! You obtained...】

【Equipment】: brutal military medal (Green Grade).

【Food】: Elementary All-Attribute Fruit * 3.

【Materials】: Centurion's Golden Canine Tooth.

【Crystal Coin】: 100,000.

"Military medal?"

"It's an accessory equipment!"

Qin Yang's eyes lit up.

Accessories are a type of equipment, with an incredibly low drop rate.

Many people reach Rank 20 without ever seeing an accessory equipment.

【Equipment】: brutal military medal.

【Part】: Front Chest Accessory.

【Rank】: Rank 10.

【Quality】: Green.

【Attribute】: Agility + 20.

【Entry】: For every demon leader killed, basic Agility attribute + 2, max 40 (0/40).

"It can even provide extra basic attributes, this equipment is good!"

Qin Yang was overjoyed.

Half of a Professional's attributes are provided by equipment.

But equipment is an external object and can be damaged.

Some special Secret Realms even reduce the effect of equipment.

Only high basic attributes truly make one powerful.

However, anything that increases basic attributes is priceless and unobtainable.

Qin Yang actually opened multiple such treasures at once!

Besides the brutal military medal, he also opened 3 Elementary All-Attribute Fruits, which increase all attributes by 2 after consumption.

These two rewards combined are worth close to a million Crystal Coin!

But Qin Yang didn't lack this amount of money; the basic attributes would definitely be added to himself.

As for the Centurion's Golden Canine Tooth, it should be a rare Material for making weapons, which for Qin Yang was just something to throw on the exchange.

Equipping the gear and consuming the 3 attribute fruits, Qin Yang opened his personal interface and allocated all 5 free attribute points to Spirit.

【Name】: Qin Yang.

【Race】: Human Race.

【Rank】: Rank 10.

【Profession】: Supreme Emperor (Unique).

【Strength】: 64 (+25).

【Agility】: 65 (+45).

【Physique】: 90 (+25).

【Spirit】: 92 (+25).

【Skills】: Exterminate the Nine Clans (Max), See Me As Heaven (Lv1), Divine Weapon of the World (Lv1), Imperial Guard (Lv1), Detection Art (Lv1), Illumination Art (Lv1).

【Imperial Power】: 2068 (+311/hour).

【Achievements】: Zerg Bane Lv1, Dog Butcher Lv1.

In just one day, Qin Yang's total basic attributes increased from 40 to 311, nearly an 8-fold increase!

Qin Chuan had given him 10 attribute fruits, adding 80 points.

He himself opened three attribute fruits, adding 24 points.

Two record breaks and two achievement rewards added 40 points.

Leveling up from Rank 1 to Rank 10 added 117 points.

The Emperor option added 10 points.

Every bit was accumulation.

Feeling his body, which was several times stronger than before, Qin Yang somewhat understood Qin Chuan's drive.

This feeling of strength growth is truly addictive.

"Oh wow! I actually opened a staff!"

At this moment, Lan Ruotong's joyful voice came from the side.

Qin Yang looked over; both sisters were now smiling radiantly, as if they had made a large sum.

"Thank you, Young Master Qin, for carrying us!"

Lan Ruotong said gratefully, her eyes crescent-shaped.

Lan Ruoxin, who rarely spoke, also showed a rare sweet smile.

The gains from the golden treasure chest were far beyond what a silver-grade treasure chest could offer.

In such a low-Rank Secret Realm, only by breaking records could one obtain a golden-grade treasure chest, and all this was thanks to Qin Yang's intervention at the last moment.

Otherwise, they would not only have failed to get the treasure chest but might have also perished there.

After the three exited the Secret Realm, Qin Yang treated them to a late-night snack.

This was a customary practice for Professionals; after every Secret Realm journey, team members would eat together.

Because every gathering could potentially be the last.

Of course, Qin Yang had other motives for treating them to a meal.

At the dinner table, he inquired in detail about the fake potions and fake scrolls.

He learned from Lan Ruotong that many guild members had received watered-down potions, and this was no longer an isolated incident.

As for buying fake scrolls at Dragon Pavilion Baoxuan, it was their first time encountering such an issue.

However, in the outside world, Dragon Pavilion Baoxuan, like Bai Cao Tang (Hundred Herbs Hall), had many negative reports.

High product prices, poor product quality, etc... many exposed problems had never received a direct response.

If it weren't for the Qin Family monopolizing most industries, just this inaction would have caused them to lose a large portion of the market.

Qin Yang couldn't help but worry.

A dike of a thousand miles can be destroyed by an ant's nest.

If the Qin Family fell, where would he go to enjoy the life of a rich second-generation heir?

He had finally gotten the script of a rich second-generation, and he didn't want to return to the plot of "don't bully a young man for being poor."

It's just... Qin Yang vaguely felt there was a hidden reason behind this.

The Qin Family's business had always been managed by his second uncle, Qin Feng, who was Qin Chuan's most trusted brother; the two had shared hardships for many years to build their current foundation.

Once, Qin Feng even lost his fertility saving Qin Chuan.

Compared to him, Qin Yang felt he himself was more like an internal spy.

"Before the matter is clarified, I cannot just go and complain to the old man about my second uncle based on one-sided information."

"Given the current situation, I can only gather more clues before making a decision."

As Qin Yang was thinking, options appeared before him.

【Facing the imperial complaint, you choose...】

【Benevolent Ruler】: This case involves royalty and high officials; I will personally investigate it thoroughly! (Skill: Imperial Guards)

【Tyrant】: The two Lan Sisters are spreading rumors; take them to my bedchamber, I will beat them to death with sticks! (Physique + 10)

【Despot】: Arrest all relevant personnel, better to kill a thousand innocent than let one guilty person go; I want heads to roll! (Strength + 10)
