42: SS-level talent!
Not long after Lin Chuan ignored the black treasure box and drove his modified car away.
A group of people suddenly emerged furtively from the gas station.
The leading man among them glared in the direction Lin Chuan had left and cursed under his breath, "Damn it! Did that guy not see it?"
His subordinate immediately dismissed the possibility: "No way he didn't see it! That black treasure box clearly has a power that bewitches people's hearts; even if it's hidden in the night, it's hard to ignore! There's no way that guy didn't see it!"
"Then why didn't he go open the treasure box?"
"I don't know, maybe he was in a hurry..."
Clearly, that black treasure box was deliberately placed on the roadside by this group of people!
The leader, Rong Jieming, was lucky. At the beginning of the apocalypse, he found a white treasure box and opened a dimensional ring from it!
Later, when heavy rain fell, everyone in the chat channel said that the heavy rain could make attributes skyrocket.
Rong Jieming originally wanted to go out and get rained on too.
But just as he was about to go out, he saw a "fraud prevention" warning on the community bulletin board.
Before the apocalypse, Rong Jieming had been scammed before!
At first, he thought it was a windfall, with good things falling into his lap.
Only to find out in the end that there was no pie in the sky, it was just a trap!
How similar that heavy rain was!
Rong Jieming keenly smelled the scent of a scam!
So he became vigilant and did not get caught in the rain.
Later, after midnight, everyone who had been through the heavy rain saw their attributes plummet again, becoming completely useless!
Rong Jieming felt even more fortunate!
This incident also made him act more cautiously.
So, when he later found the black treasure box, which had a mysterious attraction to people, he tried hard to suppress the urge to open it directly. He planned to find a scapegoat to check the situation first!
If the treasure box opened to reveal a monster, then it would be good for the scapegoat to die!
If the treasure box opened to reveal a treasure, with his strong power, he could just snatch it from the scapegoat.
His plan was sound, but he didn't expect that the scapegoat who finally passed by didn't seem to see the black treasure box at all and just drove away.
Rong Jieming exhaled and looked at the black treasure box again.
He couldn't help but feel an itch, wanting to open the treasure box directly.
His footsteps even shuffled towards the treasure box, but then he suddenly heard the sound of a car engine again from the direction of the road section blocked by a large number of vehicles!
"Someone else is coming!"
"Should we watch again?"
"Watch!"
So, the group quickly hid back in the gas station, waiting to see the performance of the next scapegoat!
However, shortly after they returned to the gas station, Rong Jieming heard a subordinate with a vision-enhancing Talent exclaim in a pale, terrified voice: "Oh no! Something bad is going to happen!"
"What's wrong?"
"The newcomer is trouble! That guy has two lines of golden text above his head!"
"Two, two lines?"
"One line is 'level ranking 98', and the other is 'slaughter chart 894'!"
"Holy crap?! A double-chart expert! Hai City actually has an expert of this level?!"
Rong Jieming quickly checked the level ranking and the slaughter chart.
Sure enough, he found that the person ranked 98 on the level ranking and 894 on the slaughter chart was the same person!
His name was—Wu Jun!
"What do we do? That guy can be on two world-level charts at the same time, his power must be extraordinary! If he opens the treasure box and gets something good, we definitely won't be able to snatch it!"
The subordinate looked anxious and then nervously added: "And that guy can be on the slaughter chart, he must have been killing people like crazy during this time! If he finds us, he might just attack without a word!"
The subordinates were at a loss, and Rong Jieming's face was also very grim.
He didn't have much time to think and quickly made a decision: "Huzi, go quickly and get the black treasure box back, then let's run!"
Huzi's face was pale, but as a speed-type Talent user, he had always been responsible for dangerous monster-luring tasks before.
At this moment, he was indeed more suitable to retrieve the treasure box!
So, Huzi rushed out to get the treasure box without a second thought.
But before his hand even touched it, a Level 3 Corpse Eater split his head open with a claw, killing him on the spot!
Inside the gas station, the atmosphere instantly became tense and anxious.
Rong Jieming's face turned even grimmer: "How could such a powerful Corpse Eater suddenly appear?"
He only said this as an exclamation, but he didn't expect that the subordinate with the vision-enhancing Talent would give him an answer with a terrified expression: "That powerful Corpse Eater... it, it, it, it, it seems to be controlled by that Wu Jun!"
"And, around that guy, there are four other equally powerful Corpse Eaters!"
"What?! He can control Corpse Eaters!" Rong Jieming's face grew even more terrified.
And soon, he also witnessed an unforgettable scene with his own eyes!
The Corpse Eater that had just split Huzi's head open with a claw, after devouring Huzi's body completely, actually ran directly to pick up the black treasure box!
After that, a tall, slender young man walked out from among the large number of vehicles blocking the road!
Just as the vision-enhancing Talent user had said!
Above the young man's head were two lines of golden text!
And beside him, there were four Corpse Eaters guarding him respectfully like servants!
Rong Jieming's legs felt weak.
He knew that the big shot had already noticed them!
Indeed, that was the case.
Wu Jun glanced indifferently at the group of people in the gas station. When he saw that none of them had golden text above their heads, he didn't pay them any mind.
His attention was drawn to the black treasure box!
He hadn't heard of a black treasure box either, and he vaguely felt that its attraction to people was quite strange.
So, to be cautious, he specifically instructed his Corpse Eater subordinates to open the treasure box for him.
However, the clumsy Corpse Eaters fumbled with the treasure box in various ways but couldn't open it.
This only made the black treasure box seem even more bizarre!
But Wu Jun was powerful, and his ego was somewhat inflated.
So, relying on his strength, he personally took the treasure box and silently thought "Open"!
At that moment, Rong Jieming and the others, who were watching this scene in the gas station, all cursed venomously in their hearts:
Hopefully, the treasure box doesn't open to anything good!
If it's something harmful, even better!
However, it was clear that their curses were ineffective!
Although they weren't sure what the treasure box had opened, they all clearly saw the man's face erupt in ecstatic joy under the night sky!
Not just ecstasy!
Wu Jun even seemed unable to control himself, suddenly throwing his head back and laughing wildly!
His crazed appearance was comparable to a poor beggar winning a billion in one go!
Wu Jun's feelings at this moment were even more wildly joyful than winning a billion!
Because the moment he opened the treasure box, a beautiful prompt sounded in his mind!
"Ding! Congratulations, player, for receiving the god of destiny's blessing! Your S-Class Talent, Necromancer Rebirth, has evolved into SS-level talent, Necromancer Overlord!"
SS-level talent!!!
Everyone knew that the Talent levels only went from F-class to S-class!
And he, unexpectedly, was the first to possess an SS-level talent!
And the method for obtaining an SS-level talent was so easy, just by opening a black treasure box picked up by the roadside!
This!
How could this not make one excited!
In this instant, Wu Jun felt as if he was the legendary Child of Destiny, the protagonist ordained by heaven!
level ranking? slaughter chart? World experts?
Haha! Just you all wait!
I, Wu Jun, will definitely ascend to the world's peak with an invincible stance, admired and looked up to by everyone!
The ecstasy emanating from Wu Jun was too intense!
And the aura he suddenly burst forth with was also impossible to ignore!
Rong Jieming in the gas station saw this scene, his eyes red with jealousy, as if dripping blood!
If he had known, why would he have looked for a scapegoat! Why not just open the treasure box himself!
Now it was good, he had discovered the treasure box first, but someone else had gotten the opportunity for free!
Rong Jieming was so furious and resentful that he became so agitated he actually spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot!
