3: 500 Black Iron Chests

"An environmental protection treasure chest..."

Han Fei muttered, opened his computer, and searched online.

News about environmental protection treasure chests was everywhere. By 1 AM last night, many people had already opened an environmental protection treasure chest.

"Good news for women! bronze environmental protection treasure chests can open sanitary pads that can be cleaned infinitely!"

"Exciting! Lighthouse Country opens a plastic devouring machine from an environmental protection treasure chest! Plastic waste may be solved!"

"Shocking! Golden-grade environmental protection treasure chests can even open nuclear wastewater! Many countries have explicitly forbidden opening golden-grade environmental protection treasure chests!"

...Han Fei looked at the various news online, his expression gradually becoming serious.

The environmental protection treasure chest seemed not as simple as he had imagined.

"It can even open nuclear wastewater. Luckily, the nuclear-mutated beasts are already extinct, otherwise it would be another human catastrophe."

As Han Fei was sighing inwardly, an urging voice came from the phone.

"Brother Han, what have you decided?"

"What's the price?"

"200 each. If..."

Han Fei heard the price and immediately interrupted, "200 each?! Are you kidding me?!"

"Brother Han, listen to me. Although this treasure chest currently seems to only open trash cans and trash bags, it has only just appeared. No one knows if it might open some valuable rare items..."

Han Fei wasn't interested in his nonsense and directly interrupted, "Stop talking nonsense. One price, 20,000 yuan, I'll buy all 500."

"Brother Han, that's not how you bargain..."

The other party continued to persuade him, but Han Fei showed no signs of budging.

Although he didn't care what the treasure chest could open, he didn't want to be taken advantage of, nor could he let the other party know his true needs, otherwise it would be difficult to bargain in the future.

After arguing with the other party for more than ten minutes, Han Fei finally bought these 500 environmental protection treasure chests for 25,000 yuan.

After the deal was settled, Han Fei couldn't help but ask, "These treasure chests, you didn't just ask me, did you?"

"Hehe, I did ask several people, but they lost interest when they found out it could only open trash cans." The other party chuckled.

Han Fei was silent for a moment before asking, "How many more of these treasure chests do you have?"

The other party immediately replied, "How could there be any more? These treasure chests are too hard to sell. Selling them to you for 25,000, I haven't even broken even yet!"

"Boss Bao, I'm quite interested in this treasure chest. Can you help me acquire some?"

Han Fei's words made the other party silent for several seconds before he reacted, "Brother Han, why are you buying this kind of tra... treasure chest?"

"Nothing much, I just want to experience the fun of opening treasure chests. It's rare to find such an easy-to-buy treasure chest," Han Fei said casually.

Many people in this world, when they have nothing to do, will buy a few treasure chests to experience the thrill of opening them.

There are also some people who purely hold the idea of getting rich overnight and treat treasure chests as lottery tickets.

However, it must be said that the probability of winning a treasure chest is much higher than that of a lottery ticket, and there will be no shady dealings. It can be said to be the most favorite 'lottery ticket' for lottery players in this world.

It's just a pity that this kind of 'lottery ticket' is not easy to buy, and the value of the grand prizes opened is also very limited.

"Brother Han, if you want me to help you acquire this kind of treasure chest, that's fine, but you must pay a deposit."

"Then how about this, I'll give you 10,000 yuan as a deposit, and you help me acquire this kind of treasure chest, the more the better. I'll buy them from you at a price of 50 yuan each."

"50 yuan each, that's a bit..." The other party seemed to want to raise the price.

Han Fei directly said, "I don't care how much you acquire them for, 50 yuan each, you'll definitely make a profit."

A black iron treasure chest with an opening value of at most 10 yuan, Han Fei acquired it at a price of 50 yuan, the money the other party could earn would definitely not be small.

However, as a businessman, the other party would certainly not compromise so easily, and immediately poured a lot of complaints to Han Fei, saying how difficult this treasure chest was to acquire, the potential benefits of the treasure chest, and so on.

After another argument between the two sides, they finally settled on a price of 55 yuan each, taking as many as there were, with deliveries once a week.

"Hoo—"

Han Fei hung up the phone and lay down on the bed.

"It seems I can only choose to replace the Cheat."

'Guaranteed Selection' obviously works better the higher the quality of the treasure chest.

'Infinite Matryoshka Doll' works more effectively the more treasure chests there are.

From the treasure chest merchant and various online information, the number of environmental protection treasure chests is large and easy to obtain, but the value of the items opened is very low, generally not exceeding 10 yuan.

Such a treasure chest is obviously more suitable for the 'Infinite Matryoshka Doll' Cheat.

So Han Fei no longer hesitated and directly replaced 'Guaranteed Selection' with 'Infinite Matryoshka Doll'.

After browsing news online for most of the day at home, 500 black iron treasure chests were delivered to his doorstep.

Each of these new environmental protection treasure chests was only the size of a fist, and its appearance looked very much like a black trash can.

Each treasure chest had a sentence written on it: "Environmental protection in the heart, garbage sorting in the hand."

After Han Fei confirmed everything was correct, he signed for several large boxes of express delivery, and then eagerly began his treasure chest opening journey.

A few hours later, all 500 treasure chests were opened.

Looking at the results of his treasure chest opening, Han Fei couldn't help but shake his head.

Even with preparation, the low value of the items opened from this treasure chest was truly appalling.

Han Fei roughly estimated that the probability of opening a trash can from each treasure chest was about 25%, generally only opening a very ordinary trash can, the kind sold for 9.9 yuan on a certain shopping platform.

Occasionally, with good luck, a treasure chest could also open two or three trash cans, and among them, there might even be a branded trash can worth over a hundred yuan, but the probability was very low. Han Fei only encountered it four times after opening all the boxes.

The probability of opening a trash bag was over 95%, which means that almost every time one or two ordinary plastic trash bags could be opened, which could be considered the guaranteed item of this treasure chest.

In addition to trash cans and trash bags, this treasure chest even had a certain probability of opening actual trash.

Blackened banana peels, rotten apples, tissues stained with unknown foul-smelling liquid, beverage bottles with lipstick marks, blood-stained sanitary pads... all kinds of messy trash were present, turning Han Fei's room directly into a landfill.

Fortunately, the boxes opened quite a few trash bags, so Han Fei could tie the trash in the trash bags, otherwise his room would probably have been filled with a stench long ago.

It is worth mentioning that although most of the trash was purely trash, a very small portion of the trash seemed a bit special.

For example, a half-ring glowing with black light, a walnut covered with tiny red eyes, and a tentacle of an unknown creature.

These three 'trash' items clearly weren't simple. After Han Fei separately packed them into trash bags, he carefully put them away, planning to buy some appraisal stones online later to appraise them.
