29: Magical Cake

Previously, although Han Fei primarily focused on Rank 4 and 5 treasure chests in the library software, he had also learned about some of the more famous magical treasure chests.

And this magic cake treasure chest was one that Han Fei had learned about.

The magic cake treasure chest had appeared thousands of years ago.

There were more than ten rules for its appearance, but each probability was extremely low, and one might not appear even after decades.

Moreover, even if one did appear, most were only black iron grade.

The total number of magic cake treasure chests that have appeared in history has not exceeded a thousand.

More than nine hundred of them were black iron grade, less than fifty were bronze grade, and only one silver grade had ever appeared.

The magic cake treasure chest being rated as a Rank 7 treasure chest by the Treasure Chest Alliance naturally has its magical qualities.

It must be known that among magical treasure chests above Rank 5, there is a huge gap between each Rank, with the box opening value differing by at least ten times!

The market price of a typical Rank 5 black iron treasure chest is comparable to an ordinary bronze grade treasure chest, which is about 10,000 yuan.

The market price of a Rank 6 black iron treasure chest, however, has more than quadrupled, usually above 100,000 yuan.

Rank 7 black iron treasure chests are even more outrageous; any one of them is worth millions, and a relatively famous Rank 7 treasure chest like the magic cake treasure chest selling for two to three million is not surprising.

The last appearance of a magic cake treasure chest was at an auction twelve years ago.

The final bidding price at that time was 2.75 million!

This amount was enough to buy a bronze grade magical item with good effects.

The reason the magic cake treasure chest was so sought after by many wealthy individuals was that this treasure chest had a certain probability of yielding an incredibly delicious magic cake.

Since the appearance of the magic cake treasure chest, whether it was royalty and nobles residing in magnificent palaces, or top gourmets who left a lasting legacy in the culinary world, anyone fortunate enough to taste the magic cake was deeply captivated by its dreamlike flavor.

There were even ancient monarchs who were willing to abandon their empire and concubines, just to experience again the supreme taste sensation brought by the magic cake, a miraculous flavor that could overturn the perception of human cuisine.

What the magic cake truly tasted like has remained an elusive and inconsistent answer for thousands of years.

Some describe it as the sweetness of morning dew, others liken it to the richness of deep-sea treasures, and some even compare it to a Concept interwoven with poetry and painting... However, no description can fully capture the unique taste of the magic cake.

Han Fei saw a five-star gourmet describe it online, saying, “The taste of the magic cake is like a magnificent symphony played on the tip of the tongue, where each note represents an ineffably wonderful flavor. When you gently bite through the delicate, silken, and tender cake body, at that moment, it’s as if all the world’s time solidifies in your mouth, and you are instantly immersed in this unparalleled symphony of taste, unable to extricate yourself.”

The magic cake is so delicious that even the most rigorous and discerning gourmets would praise it endlessly.

However, the magic of the magic cake extends far beyond its irresistible deliciousness, lying more in its mysterious and rare power.

The magic cake can, to a certain extent, enhance a person's magic Aptitude!

And in extremely rare cases, the consumer might even directly obtain incredibly powerful Forbidden Magic!

The historically famous Blazing Witch obtained her powerful Forbidden Magic through a magic cake, single-handedly overturning the world order.

This magical characteristic of the magic cake has left a profound mark in the long river of history, and it is also why it was rated as a Rank 7 magical treasure chest.

If not for the fact that most people who obtained Forbidden Magic did not end well, the Rank of the magic cake treasure chest might have reached Rank 8.

Many scholars suspect that Forbidden Magic brings misfortune to its users.

The more frequently it is used, the more misfortune it brings.

As information about the magic cake treasure chest replayed in his mind, Han Fei's heart pounded incessantly.

It must be known that a black iron grade magic cake treasure chest has less than a 10% chance of yielding a magic cake, and even then, it's the most ordinary kind of magic cake, almost impossible to grant one Forbidden Magic.

A bronze grade magic cake treasure chest, however, is guaranteed to yield a magic cake, and there's also a chance of obtaining an Advanced magic cake.

Advanced magic cakes have a considerable probability of granting Forbidden Magic; one out of every five people who consume it can obtain Forbidden Power.

Even if Forbidden Magic is not obtained, consuming an Advanced magic cake can greatly enhance a person's magic Aptitude, with better effects than Aptitude-enhancing potions that sell for millions.

“My Hundredfold Good Luck and Box Opening Upgrade Cheat can both affect the magic cake treasure chest; as long as my luck isn't too bad, I should be able to get an Advanced magic cake.”

Hundredfold Good Luck can increase the drop rate of rare items by a hundredfold; an Advanced magic cake is naturally a rare item, so the Hundredfold Good Luck Cheat can naturally affect it.

If even a hundredfold increase in drop rate doesn't yield it, Han Fei can only consider himself unlucky.

“Then, if I eat the Advanced magic cake and happen to obtain Forbidden Magic, I'll hit the jackpot!”

Although Forbidden Magic might bring misfortune, as long as it's used cautiously, the benefits definitely outweigh the drawbacks!

Those who obtained Forbidden Magic in history almost all stood at the pinnacle of the world during their most glorious periods!

The more Han Fei thought about it, the more excited he became, wishing he could open the magic cake treasure chest right now.

And Kurokuro, standing at the door, clearly had no idea about Han Fei's thoughts.

She was still hesitating whether to open the door.

“Let's open the door and meet,” Han Fei's voice reached her ears.

Kurokuro turned to look at him, her eyes seemingly asking a question.

“I heard magic cake is delicious.”

Han Fei said, licking his tongue and pretending to drool, concealing his true purpose.
