24: Wave Treasure Chest and Silent Treasure Chest

In the past decade, there have been a total of 7 types of treasure chests that are Rank 5 or above.

However, apart from the Wave treasure chest, the other 6 types of treasure chests are extremely rare, and even finding a black iron grade one is incredibly difficult.

The Wave treasure chest is a Rank 5 treasure chest that only appears on the open sea.

As long as one sails on the ocean, there is a certain probability of encountering a Wave treasure chest.

However, the oceans of this world are quite dangerous, harboring countless monsters that have escaped from treasure chests.

Han Fei's parents, in this body, perished at sea.

According to incomplete statistics, the number of people who die in the ocean worldwide each year is as high as 5 million!

Yet, despite this, countless people continue to flock to the sea year after year.

Because the oceans of this world are literally paved with gold!

As long as one's luck isn't too bad, sailing for two or three days will surely yield hundreds of treasure chests.

The variety of treasure chests is simply too numerous to count, such as Starfish treasure chests, Crab treasure chests, Deep Sea treasure chests, and so on.

Almost all of these treasure chests are high-quality treasure chests of Rank 2 or above, and reselling them casually can earn a fortune.

Moreover, more than ten new types of treasure chests appear in the ocean every year, including many Advanced Rank 3 and 4 treasure chests.

Therefore, no matter how dangerous the ocean is, there will always be treasure hunters who risk their lives to seek treasure.

Especially in coastal countries, national armies are organized every year to fish for treasure chests in the sea.

So, compared to other high-Rank treasure chests, the Wave treasure chest is undoubtedly the most likely one to find.

Han Fei carefully examined the information on the Wave treasure chest.

"Although the items are good, they don't seem to be of much use to me," Han Fei sighed inwardly.

A black iron grade Wave treasure chest usually yields seafood such as seaweed, kelp, fish, and shrimp.

Occasionally, it can yield some special marine plants, which are wondrous items.

For example, Life Algae, which can be used to make healing potions, or Bubble Beads, which allow one to breathe underwater for a short period after consumption.

The items yielded by a bronze grade Wave treasure chest are similar, but of better quality and in greater quantity.

Besides these, there are three extremely low-probability rare items.

The first is Gill Pearl, which, when swallowed, causes a certain part of the body to grow gills that allow one to breathe underwater.

The second is the martial arts Secret Manual, Wave Drifting Art, which allows one to walk on waves after Cultivating it.

The third is a Message in a Bottle, containing someone's deepest secret.

None of these three rare items were of much use to Han Fei.

Although the Gill Pearl could grant the ability to breathe underwater, it would cause ugly gills to grow, which Han Fei would definitely refuse.

After all, he mainly lives inland, with few opportunities to go into the water, and the ability to breathe underwater is not very useful. Sacrificing his appearance for it would be too uneconomical.

The martial arts Secret Manual, Wave Drifting Art, was also similar; this martial art only works on the water surface and is almost useless on land.

As for the Message in a Bottle, its usefulness was hard to say.

Some people have made huge fortunes from Message in a Bottle, while others have been killed by them.

The Message in a Bottle contains some of the deepest secrets of people's hearts.

For example, the location where pirates buried their treasure, or the first experience object of the campus belle, and so on.

These secrets are varied; some are very valuable, while others are useless, making it very dependent on luck.

There are many publicly revealed secrets from Message in a Bottle online. Han Fei kept reading until late at night and unknowingly fell asleep.

The next morning, when Han Fei woke up, it was already noon.

He habitually picked up his phone to check it and found that Xiao Mei had actually sent him five or six text messages.

Han Fei opened them one by one.

"Mr. Han, some of the items you entrusted to me have been sold. I have transferred 21,832 yuan to your bank account. Please check."

"Mr. Han, I have already purchased three Rank 5 Wave treasure chests for you. They should be delivered to you in about 7 days."

"Mr. Han, what are your plans for today? If you plan to come to the Twelfth Branch, I will arrange for someone to pick you up."

"Mr. Han, there is no news yet regarding your spoils of war. Please wait patiently; we will help you find them as soon as possible."

"Mr. Han, I have already found a Rank 4 treasure chest for you. If you need it, I can have it delivered to you now."

After reading the messages, Han Fei couldn't help but be slightly surprised.

"To find Wave treasure chests so quickly, the efficiency is really high."

Han Fei estimated that if he were to buy them himself, he might not be able to get even one in half a year.

But Xiao Mei managed to buy three in less than a day!

This is the benefit of joining an organization; it saves a lot of trouble when buying rare items.

Then Han Fei sent a text message to Xiao Mei.

"The money has been received, thank you. I need to go to Tianhe City. Can you help me buy a train ticket? Please send me that Rank 4 treasure chest now."

Xiao Mei quickly replied with a message.

"Okay, Mr. Han. I have already booked a train ticket for you. I will have someone deliver the ticket and the treasure chest to you now."

After waiting for about ten minutes, Han Fei had just finished washing up when the doorbell rang.

After receiving the treasure chest and a train ticket from the Special Guard Team's designated agent, Han Fei eagerly sat on the bed.

This Rank 4 treasure chest was a silent treasure chest.

Although a black iron quality silent treasure chest is generally ordinary, a bronze quality one has a high probability of yielding wondrous items.

For example, the martial arts Secret Manual "Silent Zen," Silent Pills, Silent Potions, Silent Superpower Fruits, and so on.

Therefore, the market price of a silent treasure chest is very high; if it's bronze grade, the price is definitely above 50,000 yuan.

Even a black iron grade one wouldn't be too cheap, certainly over 10,000 yuan.

Before opening the treasure chest, Han Fei asked the System a question.

"System, when I open this black iron treasure chest, are the three Cheats — Three-Day black iron Hundredfold Good Luck, Infinite Matryoshka Doll, and Hundred black iron Chest Openings for Rank Up — all effective on it?"

"All effective."

After receiving the System's affirmative answer, Han Fei eagerly activated Hundred black iron Chest Openings for Rank Up and then opened the treasure chest.

The silent treasure chest, true to its name, made no sound when opened.

The box instantly disappeared, leaving behind three strange stone effigies, a pile of black stones, and a silent treasure chest.

The three stone effigies each exuded an indescribably peculiar aura.

Their shapes were distinct, each with unique characteristics, as if three life forms from different worlds were solidified within this cold stone.

Each stone effigy was carved lifelike, with vivid and delicate facial expressions, yet they uniquely lacked the ears that could capture all sounds of the world.

This absence did not diminish their presence; instead, it added a mysterious charm that invited exploration.
