175: Trade with Gong Shiyi!

This time, Terao acted with unusual decisiveness.

Many powerful individuals became even more curious about what strategy Lin Chuan had given him.

From Terao's actions, it was clear that he seemed to value the strategy Lin Chuan provided immensely!

In an instant, many players wanted to inquire about the strategy Lin Chuan gave Terao.

Unfortunately, Lin Chuan appeared very aloof, seemingly unwilling to interact much with the crowd.

In fact, after Terao left, he also left the conference room.

Other players had no choice but to focus their attention on preparations before entering the secret realm.

During this time, Weng Xun took the opportunity to leave the Steel Fortress and go verify his identity with Jiao Zhengqing.

Most other players remained in the conference room, making preparations while also socializing with other players.

This was an excellent opportunity to make friends and exchange benefits.

Some even started discussing team-up issues for after entering the secret realm.

However, players forming teams mostly still used nationality as a standard.

Lin Chuan, who had left the conference room, did not leave the Steel Fortress.

He used his Invisibility Talent to conceal himself while circling the Steel Fortress a few times.

It looked as if he was just casually sightseeing.

However, his speed completely ignored the Steel Fortress's gravity field, as if he was not affected at all.

During this time circling, he simultaneously sent Terao the black treasure box acquisition strategy and asked Terao to arrange a relatively private room for him, as he wanted to discuss something with someone.

Terao was perceptive and, without asking further, arranged a room for him.

He checked the strategy Lin Chuan had provided and felt a sense of being deceived!

Because Lin Chuan's strategy for acquiring the black treasure box was incredibly simple, to the point of being almost too simple!

According to him, one only needed to constantly think about the black treasure box in their mind, while continuously stimulating the desire to become stronger deep in their heart!

The more intensely one stimulated it, the better, preferably reaching a state of near madness!

This way, the black treasure box would appear out of thin air!

This explanation seemed like utter nonsense no matter how one looked at it!

Terao even specifically messaged Lin Chuan again to question him.

However, Lin Chuan merely told him to try it as he said.

Having no other choice, Terao could only attempt it.

To achieve the state of 'wanting to become strong to the point of madness' that Lin Chuan described, he even took some medication.

Then, in an undisturbed secret room, he used his will to summon the black treasure box.

Reflecting on the incident afterward, Terao truly felt quite foolish.

But the truth was, he really obtained a black treasure box using this method!

This was his first time genuinely encountering a black treasure box!

The inherent allure of the black treasure box, combined with Terao's medicated state of 'wanting to become strong to the point of madness,' made him utterly incapable of raising his guard!

The moment he saw the black treasure box, his eyes turned red!

Then, overjoyed, he immediately opened the treasure box!

[Ding! Congratulations, player, you have received the god of destiny's blessing! You have gained All Attributes +100 (duration 24 hours)!]

What the hell?!

All Attributes +100!!!

Although there was a time limit.

But this god of destiny's blessing was simply too powerful!!!

In an instant, Terao's eyes turned even redder!

The overwhelming joy that filled his heart almost shattered his rationality.

Making him laugh wildly to the sky in the secret room!

Although the blessing he received was not as good as Wu Jun's, which directly evolved his S-Class Talent to SS-Class!

However, All Attributes +100 was already very impressive!

The key was that he obtained the black treasure box with almost no cost!

It was like winning the lottery, becoming rich overnight!

The intense joy temporarily diminished Terao's intelligence.

He didn't notice, or deliberately ignored, the strangeness of the situation.

He even began to think that the reason Lin Chuan was so strong, the reason he became the world's strongest, was very likely because he also benefited from the black treasure box!

And now, he too had mastered the method of obtaining the black treasure box.

Coupled with his already extremely powerful Talent.

He would definitely be able to surpass Lin Chuan very soon!

On the other side.

After circling the Steel Fortress a few times, Lin Chuan entered the private room Terao had arranged for him.

Upon entering, he did not close the door.

Instead, he waited quietly for two minutes, then suddenly spoke, "Aren't you coming in yet?"

A few more seconds passed.

Only then did Gong Shiyi flash into the room.

He closed the door, looked deeply at Lin Chuan, and asked in a low voice, "How is the privacy here? Are there any surveillance devices?"

Lin Chuan had observed with his Eye of Insight that there were no surveillance devices in the room.

However, from Gong Shiyi's demeanor, he inferred that the matter the other party wanted to discuss must be extremely important and could not be known by anyone.

Therefore, Lin Chuan specifically set up several array plates to shield all detection methods.

Only after completing these did he look at Gong Shiyi and smile, "Are you at ease now?"

Gong Shiyi let out a heavy breath.

Then, with a wave of his hand, a perfectly preserved child's corpse appeared in the room.

Lin Chuan had never been a forensic doctor, but having lived two lives, his experience was naturally not shallow.

He could tell at a glance that the child's cause of death was asphyxiation.

There were clear ligature marks on the neck.

In fact, from those ligature marks, Lin Chuan could almost deduce that—

This child must have died on the first day of the apocalypse, strangled by the lowest-level Dimensional Bug!

In other words, this child must have died on the first day of the apocalypse!

Yet his corpse showed no signs of the normal decomposition a corpse should have.

Was it preserved in a refrigerator?

No, Lin Chuan certainly wouldn't think that.

After all, he had clearly told Gong Shiyi that his condition for resurrection was that the deceased's death did not exceed 24 hours.

This time was objective time.

Gong Shiyi couldn't possibly not understand.

So…

Lin Chuan had a faint suspicion in his heart.

He felt excited by this suspicion.

But outwardly, he feigned calmness and said, "I've said that resurrecting the dead requires a great price. Mr. Gong, what can you offer?"

Gong Shiyi looked at Lin Chuan with cautious vigilance.

After a long while, he suddenly pulled out a dishonesty ball.

With a dry, hoarse voice, he slowly said, "I hope you can swear on it that if you accept my item, you will revive my child."

Lin Chuan thought for a moment, and without asking what the item specifically was, he directly swore on the dishonesty ball:

"I, Lin Chuan, hereby swear that I will only accept Gong Shiyi's item if I resurrect his child."

Soon, the originally empty dishonesty ball swallowed Lin Chuan's words, its color deepening, indicating the oath was effective.

Then, Lin Chuan returned the dishonesty ball to Gong Shiyi.

He didn't immediately ask Gong Shiyi for the item.

Instead, he raised his hand towards the child's corpse.

A warm white light slowly descended, covering the child's entire body, forming a bright, warm white egg.

Gong Shiyi watched this scene nervously.

The moment the egg hatched, his breathing almost stopped!

Even though the light was dazzling, he couldn't bear to look away for a single moment!
