327: A strange competitive spirit

A few minutes later, the witch also killed the Mountain Ridge Giant on Bear King's side, returning to the Netherworld.

Gu Qinghan waited a while longer, and only then did Chu Tian's battle finally end.

By the time Chu Tian came over with a treasure chest, his expression was already quite something.

"Don't mess with me, is this for real or fake? It's so discouraging!"

He had already seen Gu Qinghan finish his battle. If he hadn't stopped him, Gu Qinghan would have already helped him resolve his battle too.

Gu Qinghan smiled and walked with him towards the temporary camp.

As for the Professionals watching the battle around them, they were all frozen in place at this moment, looking as comical as chickens with their necks squeezed.

It wasn't until someone reacted that they reminded their companions to close their gaping mouths.

The BOSS that would take a group of them a long time to whittle down was like fish on a chopping board in someone else's hands, posing no threat whatsoever.

As soon as Chu Tian returned to the temporary camp, his first words to Yi Linglong were:

"You must have gotten a treasure chest too just now. Lend it to me to open. I'll return the favor when I get a chance."

In Shangjing Base, items dropped are actually to be handed in uniformly and converted into points based on their value.

These points are equivalent to currency before the apocalypse and can be exchanged for daily necessities and various suitable equipment.

Naturally, powerful equipment and items are prioritized for front-line combat personnel and top-tier forces.

As for who opens the treasure chests, there is no fixed rule; everyone just tries their luck.

The penalty for privately keeping equipment or items is extremely severe. After a few fearless individuals tried it, it never happened again.

Yi Linglong nodded and took out a gleaming gold-grade treasure chest from her storage ring.

Chu Tian took it and then pulled out a table to place in front of him.

"I'm challenging you! I refuse to believe you can keep getting lucky!"

He was clearly a bit hot-headed at this moment, looking somewhat comical with his gritted teeth.

Gu Qinghan heard this and placed his two treasure chests on the table, looking at the other party with a strange expression.

His Pioneer skill was a reward obtained during the novice trial.

At that time, not many people passed the novice trial, and the rewards should not have been the same.

Gu Qinghan was the first person to pass the novice trial, so this passive skill was highly likely to be unique.

Competing with him on luck, was he not just asking for humiliation?

"Don't. Actually, there's no need for this."

After thinking about it, Gu Qinghan still felt it was better not to crush Chu Tian's confidence.

After all, the other party had clearly not yet undergone a job change and had already been quite stimulated by the previous battle.

If Gu Qinghan were to also crush him in terms of luck, Chu Tian would most likely break down.

Chu Tian, however, gave a charming smile and said to Gu Qinghan:

"No! Today, I just won't accept it.

Lest you don't know, I am a man known as the Lucky Star of Shangjing."

Gu Qinghan looked at the Professionals watching nearby. No one refuted him, clearly indicating that what he said was true.

He also understood why Chu Tian was so excited after seeing good items come out of the treasure chests.

"Seriously, don't." Gu Qinghan wanted to put away the treasure chests and open them later.

"No!"

Chu Tian directly pressed down on Gu Qinghan's treasure chest and then quickly opened one of his own.

He completely ignored the magic crystals and looked at the remaining items.

Soon, the corners of his mouth curved upwards, because this time he actually got two pieces of equipment!

"See that! This is the value of a Lucky Star!"

Chu Tian slammed the two pieces of equipment on the table, looking provocatively at Gu Qinghan.

Then, he opened the second treasure chest, but this time he didn't have the same good luck as before.

Besides a magic crystal card, there were only two scrolls that could temporarily increase defensive capabilities.

"Not bad, two gold-grade pieces of equipment. No one has this kind of luck."

Someone around them praised, making Chu Tian's lips curl even more.

He was, after all, just a young man. Although he carried a heavy burden, he showed a youthful disposition at such a moment.

Everyone around looked at the helpless Gu Qinghan and began to cheer him on.

"Open one! Open one!"

They laughed as they looked at Gu Qinghan, but it wasn't mockery, but full of goodwill.

Infected by this atmosphere, Gu Qinghan also sighed and opened the first treasure chest.

That feeling of Pioneer triggering didn't appear; what was in this treasure chest was entirely up to luck.

A magic crystal card, and a bottle of Stone Skin Potion that could greatly increase vitality upper limit and defensive ability for a short period.

"Wow, his luck isn't bad either, but it's much worse than General Chu Tian's."

A comment came from the crowd, while Gu Qinghan showed no surprise.

He directly opened the second treasure chest, but just as he opened a crack, he closed it.

"Let's not, luck is a very strange thing."

As he spoke, he was about to put away the treasure chest, but Chu Tian, with quick eyes and hands, stopped Gu Qinghan.

He smirked and reached for the treasure chest. The moment the treasure chest was opened, the contents inside were already fixed.

Therefore, by opening the treasure chest now, he could only see the specific items Gu Qinghan had gotten.

Everyone stretched their necks, looking this way, wanting to see what Gu Qinghan was hiding.

Suddenly, a brilliant, diamond-like light made everyone freeze.

Chu Tian suddenly closed the lid, looking at Gu Qinghan somewhat dazedly.

Then, he peered through the crack again, looking inside.

There was no magic crystal card in this treasure chest, only two items.

One was clearly the Profession scroll Gu Qinghan had gotten earlier, and the other was a weapon shimmering with diamond-grade luster!

It's important to know that among all equipment, weapons definitely have the highest value.

After all, if damage isn't enough, encountering monsters means you can only slowly wear them down.

Moreover, very few people currently possess diamond-grade weapons!

Chu Tian suddenly realized something and asked Gu Qinghan:

"You're not right. Do you have some skill that increases luck?"

Gu Qinghan looked at his expression and asked with a smile, "You just noticed?"

Chu Tian immediately slapped his thigh and said to Gu Qinghan with deep regret:

"That's too much! Having such a skill and still bullying us ordinary people!"

Gu Qinghan was speechless, thinking that he didn't seem to have given him a chance to say anything.

Chu Tian, utterly disheartened, put away his items, looking very dejected.

Gu Qinghan took out the weapon, and it was indeed a diamond-grade weapon.

"[Rock Smasher (Diamond): Level 40]"

"[Combat Power Increase: 12000]"

"[Effect 1: 20% chance to stun enemies for 1 second on attack]"

"[Effect 2: Attacks have a knockback effect; knockback distance is related to size difference]"

"[Effect 3: Slightly reduces attack speed]"

This item was definitely a super powerful piece of equipment for front-liners at this stage. If a complete set of corresponding equipment could be gathered, one could almost tank most monsters.

Gu Qinghan didn't need it, but it could create a super powerful tank for Whale Fall City!

He wouldn't stay in Whale Fall City forever, but he hoped that after every battle, there would be a safe place to rest.

"It's a pity that the drop rate for these Profession scrolls is too low; otherwise, I could completely create a team with astonishing defensive power."

Gu Qinghan felt a slight regret, then suddenly raised an eyebrow.

After absorbing the bodies of Torres and the Undead Giant, the Source Worm had been in a state of digestion, with no activity recently.

But now, this little guy had actively contacted Gu Qinghan.

"You can help me absorb the bodies of those monsters and help me create... Profession scroll fragments?"

After understanding what this little thing meant, Gu Qinghan suddenly froze in place.
