38: Counting the loot

Many familiar avatars have disappeared.

Taking a look, Wang Dali's avatar also disappeared. That honest young man ultimately couldn't withstand such a frantic attack.

Of all the avatars he was connected to, only one Lord he had blacklisted was still there.

"Jiang Xiaowen?"

Isn't this that chatty girl? He found her annoying and blacklisted her. This girl is capable, she actually survived this? But this girl isn't in the Ten Thousand Mountains, it seems she's a Pirate at sea.

Never mind her, it has nothing to do with him.

Let's look at the rewards first.

The ranking is only regional, limited to the Ten Thousand Mountains area.

Han Huohuo ranked first on the leaderboard with over a hundred thousand points in total. The second place was Wu Qiming, with only over ten thousand points.

The rest had at most a few thousand points.

The main reason was that the main force was blocked by Han Huohuo!

No matter how many soldiers they killed, none of the surviving Lords were people of false reputation; they were truly powerful.

The forum for the Ten Thousand Mountains was quiet; no one was speaking at all.

The forum for the Great World also had few people speaking.

It seemed everyone was checking their spoils.

[Ten Thousand Mountains Area, First Place in Points Ranking, obtained one Platinum Treasure Chest, one Lord Upgrade Experience Pack (provided based on point value), three Special Building Blueprints. Due to additionally killing five Ten Thousand Captain, obtained five Random Resource Treasure Chests.]

Couldn't tell if the rewards were good or bad.

Could only open them one by one.

When opening treasure chests, of course, you should open the worst ones first, and save the good stuff for last. What is a Random Resource Treasure Chest? It sounds like an interesting item.

Han Huohuo first opened the five Random Resource Treasure Chests.

[Congratulations, you opened a Random Resource Treasure Chest and obtained 100 Gold Coins.]

What the hell, is this for beggars?

[Congratulations, you opened a Random Resource Treasure Chest and obtained 10 Gold Coins.]

Holy crap! 100 Gold Coins was already low enough, and there's even an option for 10 Gold Coins? Han Huohuo was dumbfounded.

Did the heavens hear him curse it and are deliberately bullying him?

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door outside.

Temporarily stopping opening the treasure chests, Han Huohuo went over and opened the door, seeing it was Hua Mulan's maid, Cuihua.

"Looking for me?"

"General Hua asked me to return this necklace to you."

Cuihua held a necklace with a horseshoe and a Holy Blood Potion hanging on it.

Han Huohuo took the treasure and hung it around his neck.

Cuihua bowed, carefully helped Han Huohuo close the door, and then retreated.

Although this chubby girl was a bit rough, she had been trained very well by Hua Mulan and already had the appearance of a maid from a wealthy family.

Horseshoe adds 2 to luck, wonder if opening chests will be better now, continue!

[Congratulations, you opened a Random Resource Treasure Chest and obtained 50,000 Gold Coins!]

[Congratulations, you opened a Random Resource Treasure Chest and obtained 200,000 Wood!]

[Congratulations, you opened a Random Resource Treasure Chest and obtained 200,000 Stone!]

Holy crap!

Is the difference this big?

Han Huohuo was in a daze, unsure if the +2 luck from the horseshoe had taken effect, or if his luck had suddenly improved.

Anyway, he remembered this time. From now on, he must wear the horseshoe when opening treasure chests. This must be a divine level treasure!

When it comes to luck, it's better to believe it exists than not!

After opening the resource treasure chests, he then upgraded his level. The battles during the final decisive battle didn't give experience; it turned out it was all in the experience pack, and he didn't know how it was calculated.

Open the experience pack.

[Congratulations Lord, you have reached Level Ten, please select your new skill.]

[Primary Wisdom & Primary Action Power]

Hmm?

Level Ten, he could choose skills again. Han Huohuo saw two skills he hadn't seen before and studied their descriptions.

[Primary Wisdom]: Allows learning spells below Tier Two.

[Primary Action Power]: Increases Action Power by one point for yourself and the soldiers you command.

Han Huohuo knew that increasing Action Power by one point was a very strong skill; all units' speed would increase.

But Han Huohuo hesitated for a moment.

What are spells?

He remembered the Monks' Great Prayer and Great Healing spells, which were very powerful, even capable of changing the battlefield situation with a single spell.

Could he also learn spells?

His heart warmed. Han Huohuo, a materialist, had a natural, irresistible attraction to things like magic and spells, so he chose Primary Wisdom.

He was very eager to see how magnificent the battles would be with the Mechanical Army combined with magic.

A spellbook suddenly appeared in the system, but there wasn't a single spell in this spellbook. This meant that magic needed to be learned and wasn't naturally available.

He also didn't know where to go to learn magic in the future. If powerful magic could be combined with his mechanical troops, sweeping across the entire continent wouldn't be impossible.

[Congratulations Lord, you have reached Level Eleven]

[Congratulations Lord, you have reached Level Twelve]

[Congratulations Lord, you have reached Level Thirteen]

[Congratulations Lord, you have reached Level Fourteen]

[Congratulations Lord, you have reached Level Fifteen, please select your new skill.]

[Primary Earth Magic & Primary Stamina]

Han Huohuo hesitated again, but thinking that since he had chosen Wisdom, he would definitely need to learn some magic, so he might as well learn Primary Earth Magic.

[Primary Earth Magic]: Enhances the power of all Earth Magic!

[Congratulations Lord, you have reached Level Sixteen]

[Congratulations Lord, you have reached Level Seventeen]

He leveled up all the way to Level Seventeen before stopping. The later the levels, the more experience points were needed. Level Seventeen was already quite formidable. Han Huohuo looked at his stats.

[Lord]: Han Huohuo

[Level]: Seventeen

[Attributes]: Strength 8, Defense 6, Stamina 4(6), Intelligence 7.

[Exclusive Skill]: Mechanical Specialization

[General Skills]: Intermediate Leadership, Primary Attack, Primary Wisdom, Primary Earth Magic.

These attributes looked pretty good. Generally, three to five banditss definitely couldn't beat him.

Han Huohuo felt his whole body had become much stronger.

He really wanted to go out and spar with Gou San. Now, taking care of him would be effortless.

Gou San had nightmares all night. When he woke up the next day, he was still terrified and uneasy, thinking to himself, which great deity did he offend this time?

After finishing the level upgrades.

He looked at the building blueprints.

[Arrow Tower]: Can garrison ten ranged units. Units garrisoned in the Arrow Tower have their range increased by 50% and damage increased by 200%.

[Construction]: 500 Wood, 250 Stone, 100 Iron Ingots.

[Limit]: This blueprint can be used to construct a maximum of four Arrow Towers.

The reason there are four Arrow Towers is that normal cities have four main gates, which is equivalent to assigning one Arrow Tower to each gate.

Han Huohuo sighed. If he had this blueprint before the soldiers suppressed the banditss, General Hua wouldn't have had to defend so strenuously.

[Thieves' Guild]: A barracks for training Scouts.

[Construction]: 500 Wood, 250 Stone.

Scouts are used for reconnaissance and gathering intelligence. Although they have some combat ability, they are not main combat units. Han Huohuo happened to not lack main combat units; what he lacked were these functional barracks.

[Training Ground]: A place for training soldiers, which can gradually increase soldiers' experience points.

[Construction]: 10000 Wood, 5000 Stone.

This training camp blueprint is extremely high-level, glowing golden, and the construction cost is also high. The only drawback is that it cannot train many soldiers at once; it only makes sense to put particularly important soldiers in for training. It's not suitable for large-scale training.

Putting away all these blueprints, Han Huohuo took out the final treasure.

This is a Platinum Treasure Chest!

This was the main point. Han Huohuo had never seen a Platinum Treasure Chest of this high level before. What would come out of it?

Just as he was about to open it, the system suddenly popped up a description, startling Han Huohuo.

[Detected that you obtained the highest score globally in the first stage task. The Platinum Treasure Chest automatically upgrades to a Divine Treasure Chest.]

The treasure chest in his hand suddenly changed, transforming from Platinum into a gorgeous, multi-colored treasure chest.

Fortunately, this was indoors. If it were outside, the light from this treasure chest could illuminate the night in the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Han Huohuo was shocked.

What is this thing?

Opening the treasure chest, there were many items inside.

[hero token]*3

[Golden Silk Armor]: Defense +15

[Ice Dagger]: All Attributes +3

[Teleportation Gate]: A blueprint for a devil's building from the Abyss. It allows you to build Teleportation Gates in different bases, connecting all bases to each other through the gates.

It had everything, every item was top-tier!

No need to mention the hero token, it's an exclusive item specifically for recruiting Epic level Heroes. Ever since seeing Hua Mulan's ferocity, he definitely wanted to recruit more Epic level Heroes.

The two treasures were also all top-tier treasures.

The Teleportation Gate is a strategic building. If he builds branch bases in the future, they might be unexpectedly attacked. With the Teleportation Gate, he can directly teleport troops between bases, ensuring they are as solid as a rock.
